My lappy

My Acer is very old. I've been using him since my foundation year, back in 2006. I hope he will stay by my side at least till i've graduated. He has shown the sign of aging. Hold on Mr Acer, one more year and then you may rest in peace.

MASISWA 2010

A little update, MASISWA will be held on 5th & 6th Nov. I'll be participating in badminton mens double with Saiful Ammar. So next week we'r goin to be at MMU Cyber .

How i met sakinah?

How i met her? How i fallen in love with her?

Hari Raya 2010

What does Hari Raya means to you? Hari Raya are very sad days. I can see everyone is looking forward to it, they celebrate it with their families and friends. To me Hari Raya are just days where i want to be alone.

Badminton or studies?

I'm in dilemma. Badminton is just a game & studies should be my priority. Today for the 1st time after 2 months, i went training with the others. I was told that if i dont come constantly every week, the captain will drop me from competitions. The next competition should be next month in UCSI and another one is in MMU Cyberjaya.
Its not that i dont want to come for training, its just that i'm too busy. The training is on Monday and i'm having quiz on every Tuesday. I definitely need to study! I've learned from the past, everytime i went out playing badminton i felt exhausted and slept right after.
You guys might suggest me to study earlier, maybe during the weekend. No, Hell no! i know myself very well. I couldnt..i just cant..Im busy with Tech Comm...RC...project management..Too busy to play badminton. I'm considering to stop playing competitively..maybe just for fun..but its a big loss..i'll only have one and half year before graduating..so what should i do?

I almost forgotten my Blog

Hi dear friends, i've been busy lately. I have no time to spend for my blog. Just a few updates, i'm currently in the middle of semester and semester break would be on 6th september. I just finished a few of my mid term tests but i had another one after raya which is Structure steel design.

This semester i suddnely studying pretty hard, i mean not really hard but harder than previous semesters. Why? Coz i suddenly realised that, in one year time i'ma be a civil engineer insyaallah but my knowledge about Civil engineering is too narrow. By this time i should be able to do structure analysis with one eye but unfortunately im still crawling. I cant imagine what would it be like, if i were in the real working environment. I am totally DOOM!

Another update is..i'm still in love with Sakinah...hahahas everyday i love her more...and she loves me too dats the most important..the rest...i dont give a damn

okay i guess thats all...bye2

Now i'm gonna need one more accessory to buy which is a Nikon Sb600

When i was 12 i wish i were 18, but then when i was 18 i wish were in school again. I think that is fairly normal. All i can say that so far i had a good life. I just need to go out there looking for more experience in life. Because experience is what matter the most, not those written in the books.

Malaysia is boring

I am alone. Nobody's home. Everybody's going out to work. If i were in Notts at least Aisyah and Imran were next to me. Sigh..so bosan..suddenly my photography mood is turned off. Think i'ma need some inspiration. I think this year was the best i ever had in UK. I got the chance to see Imran 1st day at school. He was crying so badly, so did Aisyah bcos she saw Imran was crying. Sometimes at night i read them stories, playing puzzles, watching Tom& Jerry together. I simply love those two. My most memorable memory was fetching them from school everydays. I'll bring a stroller from home, when Imran saw me he was always like running to me. Or sometimes he's asleep while on the swing. Aisyah sometimes called me "Daddy,daddy,daddy" when she saw me coming. I dont know why maybe cos she saw her friends doing so. On the way home i will ask Aisyah to sing Twinke Twinkle Little Stars. After that i'ma sing Bob the builder for Imran together with Aisyah. Aisyah loves Iman so much. They always fight over something but when imran is not around Aisyah missess him. She's a good sister, everytime she saw Imrans crying she will quickly come to tell me that imran's crying. I'm feeling very sad to leave UK. These two wonderful kids really made my day everyday. Even when i been away to London for a few days i had already missing them so much. Im sure everyone is going to fall in love with these two. They are such a lovely sweet kids. Imran is soo manja. She slept with me almost every nights. I really wish they'r goin back at the end of this year. I'm dying to see them.

I'm home!

I had safely arrived in Malaysia today. Unlike last year, i didnt feel like going back. I wish i could stay with Aisyah and Imran. Aisyah nangis kat airport semalam. Die sedih takde uncle nak temankan die main, nak layan die. I really miss Nottingham. Tonight im gonna sleep alone without Imran. How sad..I miss Imran. Normally when i get bored i'll play with Iman and aisyah but here i am alone. I'm feeling sad knowing that i'm not gonna sending them to school anymore, cant see imran learns to talk,cannot play with them. Just pray that new sem will start soon so that i'll get myself busy.

Going back..

Last night when i packing my stuffs, suddenly aisyah came in and asked me, "Uncle nak pegi mane?". Then i replied "uncle nak balik umah wan". She turned sad and said "I want uncle i want Busu". She knw that im leaving and she said she wanna sleep with me last night. She kept saying "i love uncle i love Busu". Owh im gonna miss these two. Aisyah and Imran. Imran yg tersangat manja...

I'm going back next week

This photo is fake. I wasnt asleep

Just a little update bout myself, i'm going back to Malaysia next week. My flight will be on 27th scheduled to arrive on 28th.

Suddenly i dont feel like going back, i'm sure i'm gonna miss everything here. I feel sad to leave Aisyah and Imran, especially Imran he sleeps with me almost every night. I'm gonna miss his noisy sounds while he's asleep. I'm gonna miss to walk them to school, i'm gonna miss Imran running to me when he see me coming to fetch him from school. On the way back home we all sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little stars" together.

Aisyah is a big girl now, a little princess. She's very smart. She sometimes play "Cat and Dog" with Imran. That is funny! Imran will follow her from behind...

The glow of summer sky

Location: Longdale, Nottinghamshire

London 11-13th June 10

I've been to London 3-4 times before this but this one was the best ever!
I met with my Uniten mates Mr Wui Jern Chew and Malcom Wee with another new friend studying in Soton, Mr ee How. We went to Trafalgar Square for World Cup 2010 opening, it was a coincidence actually. hehe

We stayed at Hyde Park Hostel which was located at Bayswater, Inverness Terrace. Trust me, that was the most horrible Hostel i've been at. The room was dirty, the bed and linen was brownish and on the 1st night, i didnt get a duvet. I was freezing to death!!

On the next day we went travelling all over London. The best part was, we went to London Bridge around 9pm. Spent our time around the bridge until 11.30. On the way back we'r all starving so we went to chicken cottage. Yum! yum! but! hehe there is but! once we get back to the tube station. The station was closed! the security told us to take bus no 27 to bayswater. Yeah thank god! we managed to get our bus. Only to find out at the end of the way, we'r heading towards a wrong direction! We took a 27 bus that going to the other direction. We waited at the wrong side of the bus stop. Hahahah

Ok we waited at Richmond bus station for about 20mins, we'll take our bus and safely reached Bayswater around 2am! we were all freaking tired! my legs were like soooo painful!

But it was worth it, i managed to capture some decent photos of Tower Bridge and Westminster Palace.

Lake District National Park, Summer 2010

Date: 5/6/2010, Saturday

I joined a trip organized by Nottingham Malaysian Society to Lake District National Park, Cumbria. Participants only need to pay 25pounds for the whole day trip. We departed at East Drive, Nottingham University around 8am by bus. The trip was introduced to me by Asyraf when i met him at Nottingham Demonstration againts Israel a day before the trip.

We ride steam train to Lake District and then we took Lake Cruise for sightseeing around the Lake. Lake district is the largest National Park in United Kingdom. The view was superb! i always wanted to go to Lake District, since i came to UK last year i heard the place from my lovely Sakinah, even just for a day the trip was fun, i enjoyed my time with everyone especially Asyraf and Akmal. We share something in common, we'r camera freak! LOL

We wrapped everything around 10 and went back to Nottingham Arrived around 1.30 in the morning. I was damn tired, safely reached home and then "Pengsan"!!

Thanks to NMS for such a wonderful trip to Lake District. I'll never forget this memorable moment i had. But i've already missed home, especially Sakinah.

4th June 2010, Nottingham against Zionis Demonstration

Today i went shopping at Sportsdirect. I finished everything around 4.30 and i headed to Old Market Square to join the demonstration against Israel. Not only muslims were joining in fact the organizers themselves among them were non-muslims. Approximately around 200 people had joined the demo.

My most fav photo at York

This is the side view of York Minster building. York Minster is a Gothic cathedral in York, England and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe alongside Cologne Cathedral. The Minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the second-highest office of the Church of England, and is run by a Dean and Chapter under the Dean of York.

For my other photo collections at York,

York, simply beautiful

We just got back from York, a walled city, situated at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events throughout much of its two millennia of existence.

We spent 2days 1 night, one the 1st day we arrived at 7pm. I went out alone exploring the city until midnight to do some night photography around the Historical city of York. Well, York wasnt dissapointing at all. I simply love it. The town wasnt crowded and the atmosphere was lovely. Of course late night you can find plenty of drunk people all over the town that is typical european night life. But the cops were all over the place so i wasnt worried too much bout that.

On the 2nd day we all went to Jorvik Centre. Its a place where you can find out more about the history of The Viking. Basically York known as Jorvik in Viking language was one of the Viking Invasion long ago. The place was pretty cool, some of you might find the place is quite boring but to me its good to know how those people live, who were they and why they invaded England.

Again thanks to Kak ngah and abe ga for the trip..I simply love York!

28hb May

Last year on this date, was the 1st time i met Sakinah at Glasgow, Scotland. Our 1st meeting was, at the airport. I was looking for her and she was looking for me. From a distance, Sakinah & Raihan were jumping and waving when they saw me. God knows how i felt at that time. The feeling was indescribable.

Bicester Village, Oxfordshire & City of bath

We just got back from 3 days trip to Oxford & Bath. 1st day we went to Oxford City. I heard people said there's nothing in Oxford compare to Cambridge. I am totally agree with them. So if you go to UK, forget Oxford, go to Cambridge instead.

Before going to Bath we dropped by at Stonehenge. The thing about Stonehenge is, its located about one hour++ from London. So if you'r travelling from London merely to see that bunch of freaking stone. I suggest you to just forget it. Unless you'r going to other places where Stonehenge is on the same way, drop by then. Make sure to bring your student card for discounts.

The historical city of Bath, if you go to UK. Visiting Bath is a must. Sometimes i wonder why when my friends come to UK, they wanna visit Manchester, Liverpool and so on. London is enough. The rest are almost the same. After all, they are all cities. Better go other places, with better landscapes and cityscapes. Like Bath, Isle of Skye or Inverness or Lake district or Snowdonia. These places are like heaven. You cant find it in Malaysia. I think people who visit London should take a bus and go to Bath, spend a night. Bath is awesome! The city was great!
Unfortunately we didnt have enough time to visit all the places in Bath. In fact, we just been to one place which is The Roman Bath. That's the only place we visited. What a loss. Someday im gonna visit Bath again, hopefully. For a "real trip" to Bath. hahaha i have a lot in mind. I wanted to see the royal crescent, prior park and the Pulteney bridge. Actually we did go to Pulteney Bridge but only for 5 mins. If there's next time, i would set up my tripod, and shoot a proper view of the bridge at night.

Thanks to Kak Ngah and Abe Ga..walaupun penat but going to Bath mmg berbaloi baloi..

Okay, all the photos at those places mentioned above

Spring is here

April 2010, its spring again. So i started to photograph some of the flowers around the the house garden. I'm not really into flowers or anything that related to macro photography, i prefer landscape and waterscape photography. That explains why most of the photos that i display in my flickr are landscape/waterscape instead of flowers and insects.
But somehow i did manage to capture a few decent photos..

Take a look at the photos here,

I am back at Nottingham

I am back at Nottingham. My flight was exactly on the same date last year. But things are different now. My sister has moved near to Wollaton Hall. Now we are staying at Middleton Boulevard somewhere near Wollaton Hall. I have only been here for 2 days but i already miss home. Compare to last year i was kinda excited before coming here but this time i did not. In fact i was kinda sad of leaving Malaysia, obviously because Sakinah is in Malaysia right now. I even told her than i'm coming here to find a girl friend. Hahaha I like making her jealous. I dont know why, perhaps because that shows how she loves me. She's planning of going back to Glasgow on June because her first solo exhibition is coming up. And guess what? She's planning to display my portrait painting :) but not for sale because that painting supposed to be my birthday present but she didnt finish it on time. Sakinah is a lazy painter :) hehehe but she gave me a lot more valuable presents. Those are priceless.

Final exams with 3 papers left

Its 6 in the morning, i just closed Structure Analysis book. I have 3 papers left, Structure analysis 2, soil and waste water & water. My programming paper, i cant tell how was it. The Section A and B was ok, B was easier than C. But i screwed up Section C. I think most of us screwed up that section.

I've tried to sleep but i just cant. I'm worried too much every time i closed my eyes, i kept thinking bout exams. Not Structure Analysis but Waste Water. I dont know how to score. The lecturer hates us. She didnt give any tips. Senior said she gave them tips for previous sems but not to us. Because she once warned the whole class coz ppl were talking while she was teaching and asked us to address her with her title doctor instead of Puan or madam. Im so scared. But 1 good thing bout being scared is, it makes me study harder! Sigh im so tired...okay dah subuh..i better solat now...

cerita yang begitu seram sekali iaitu " FRIDAY the 13th " jika ada di
kalangan kamu yang perasan!!! Wassalam.
"Sampaikanlah pesanku biarpun satu ayat..."
Sebaik-baik manusia itu adalah mereka yang memberi manafa'at kepada manusia lain...

I've seen many people in love, but mine is totally different from them,
because they don't have you.

Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

Life is uneasy but look, i'm smiling and laughing. I'm not pretending or trying to act cool, my smile is genuine, because life is too short. Who knows, there might be no tomorrow.

Ya Allah, tunjukkan kepada kami jalan penyelesaian terbaik dan kurniakan sedikit cahaya dlm kegelapan hidup kami. Semoga ada sinar..

Layanan mengikut status

Layanan setiap individu terhadap seseorang individu berlainan mengikut status. Dato',Datin,Tan Sri dan sebagainya. Pakaian jugak melambang status, kereta yg dipandu juga melambangkan status. Manusia cenderung utk menilai pada "1st impression" dan terus melabel status seseorang itu. Ok enough with the intro...
Aku ada cerita nak kongsi sikit pasal layanan mengikut status ni..
Pada suatu petang ni, aku dari Banting nak pulang ke Kajang. Lalu aku singgah la kat Shell berhadapan restoran Nasi Lemak Pakmie...restoran nasi lemak ye bukannye restoran nasi "Lemak Pakmie", sape nak makan lemak die. hehe ok berbalik kpd cerite, setibenye aku kat Shell tu aku pun stop kat Pump minyak yg ada pump attendant sbbnye aku malas nak isi sendiri. Mamat tu pun tunggulah aku membuat pembayaran kat kaunter, right after aku membuat pembayaran tu datanglah satu Pakcik ni bawak BMW 5 series berhenti kat pump minyak bersebelahan kereta aku. Dan mamat pump attendant tu dgn pantas pegi ke pam sebelah memberi layanan mesra kpd Pakcik tu, dan kemudian isikan minyak kereta beliau. tanpa menghiraukan aku yg juga customer membawa kereta kancil memakai selipar dan seluar 3 quarter. Memang cam haram..tp tak boleh nak salahkan sesiapa..kalau aku tauke station minyak pun aku akan mengarahkan pekerja aku berbuat yg same for the sake of profit.

Lens

Currently i'm using 18-55mm VR lens which is a very cheap lens yet very sharp and fast. I'm planning to keep the lens and buy 2 other lenses.

1. Tokina 12-24mm f/4 (wide angle)
2. Nikkor 50mm f1.8
   

Adakah aku terlalu selamba?

Adakah aku terlalu selamba? Aku terperasan yang aku terlalu selamba sehinggakan tak perasan bila aku sakiti orang. But the funniest thing is, aku tak perasan bila orang nak sakiti aku. Hahahaha Funny isnt it? I find the situation is really really funny. Imagine when someone mencuba utk sakitkan hati kau. perli sane,perli sini, sindir sane,sindir sini, mencuba sedaye upaya utk menyakitkan hati kau, but still you have no clue at all. Hahaha i really need to change. To be a bit more sensitive kepada persekitaran aku. hehe

Flickr

I just created a flickr account.

The URL is http://www.flickr.com/photos/ashinsama/

Its good to have a flickr. By this way people who have more experience than you can leave comments and you'll be able to learn & improve your photography skills.

Copied from my email

Assalamualaikum w.b.t….

Brother & sisters..

Just want to share something with you all…

Think carefully for our next future generations…

Remember the quote “to see the future of nation just look at their youth @ youngster…

What their done is the mirror of what will happen in future….”

So what happen now give big implication on our next generation…

It’s a story about using Allah as same word as other God which in Christian they believe Jesus is the son of God.

So, the Malaysian Christian (which I believe only some of them) currently claim that the word Allah not only belong to Muslim but also for them..

For me, it’s really sad they can’t even simplest thing & hurt Malaysian people really bad…

After many decade we Malay Muslim had sacrifice a lot for the others Malaysian (neither race or religion) in the name of unity but right now when it relate to ‘Aqidah’ & purity of Islam religion it’s really too much….

I don’t want our past mistake happen again & again…..

I believe this part of the Jewish plan.

So to all Muslim, please come unite & protect our beloved religion & country….

P/S : Here I attached some interesting photo that may open any Muslim eye regarding this matter….

So, please don’t say in the name of democracy, or whatever…..

What the kids will think after this if Allah can be seen at church like this??

It’ll make them confuse like ‘we can pray Allah at church’ or ‘Allah has more than one’???

What will happen next??

This already happen in East Malaysia , so please do something before its spread here…

Don’t wait until it happen like in Indonesia which lot of confusion like this….

That time ‘Murtad’ is normal & can’t be stop anymore….

Again, to all my Muslim friend lets unite and face this for sake of our future…

Thanks…..

Allahuakbar!! Allahuakbar!! Allahuakbar!!

Wassalam…

Hurm..?

Kak iwan dah pindah rumah, kat Alam Shah Putrajaya. Dekat sebelah Alamanda kira-kira 10min dari Uniten. And she's asking me to stay with her. Boleh jimat sewa rumah & dekat pulak tuh.
Should i stay here or stay with her? Berbelah bagi sebab tak sampai hati nak tinggalkan Azri & Tan. Especially Tan yg sentiasa bersama aku kemane jua. Dimana ada Tan, disitu ada aku. So i guess for the time being, tinggal aje la kat Kondo ni. Awek kat kondo ni pun cun-cun gak..hahahahahah 36x
