91: The boys in the family

Suddenly rasa sayu pulak bila baca update blog piah. (Piah sila jgn perasan, ini tiada kena mengena dengan piah). Tetibe terkenang the 2 boys in the family. Heheh. Our eldest, and my younger bro. Suhaib and Ahmad, the only 2 boys out of our 11 adik-beradiks. 

Suhaib is getting married this weekend! Ohohoho.. We are at this period of life already ek adik-beradikku? Where everyone is getting married... huhu. Masih segar di ingatan segala kenangan masa kita zaman sekolah rendah/menengah dulu. Gaduh-gaduh ganas. Diri ini kena buli ngan Suhaib physically and mentally. Haha. Dan saya pun physically and mentally abuse my OLDER sisters ;). Masing2 la senang cerita. Sama rata la kirakan? .. and Suhaib, now you're getting married!!!


And my brother, Ahmad. He got anugerah tokoh pelajar baru-baru ni. Tahniah bro. The family knows how hard his life was (is). Tahniah bro. You deserve it. We are all proud of you. 

Semoga anda berdua diredhai-Nya. And that's the most important thing, kan?

89: Ponder

Kalau awak boleh berkorban, tak tidur malam, stay up berhari-hari..
Spend masa berjam-jam walaupun takda hasil dok usaha nak memahamkan..
Give your 100% (and more!) and never give up till the end..
Kalau you can afford to do all that, sebab nak attain kesenangan dan kecemerlangan atas bumi yang tak kekal and sekejap ini aje...

Takkan tak boleh berkorban lebih (or at least tahap yang sama macam kat atas sbb itu pun dah kira korban yg sangat la bg sesetengah org) utk kesenangan kat sana nanti? Darjah dan martabat yang berlipat kali ganda.. tak terkira rationya... 

Kata je beriman...

Iman kah?

88: This week in pictures

Cool kan. Different colour indicates different energy transition.

Lab: The Zeeman Effect. Cool!
Kalau tak kerana dikunci kat situ, mungkin tak lama la DSLR tu kat situ. Cool.
Ironinya minggu ni waktu lab tu dirasakan  macam kerehatan. 
(Sempat qadha' tidur dalam lab :p )
Alhamdulillah.



Event: Poster Presentation.
Venue: Physics building hallway. 
The coloured poster, yang kiri sekali is mine. And hall dipenuhi posters on the wall, and my classmates.
The presentation was okay I guess, at least the one who assesed me was considerate and patient with the fact that I stuttered and mumbled a lot. Sangat tak fasih~

First ever presentation at uni. A big fat tanda right pls.

Another night of staying up to go through. Sikit je lagi. Sikit je lagi!

Alhamdulillah ala kulli hal.

Attention all students, terutamanya lepasan-lepasan SPM.

Don't ever consider taking up Physics as your undergraduate course!

Unless you want to spend hours and hours (also means sleepless nightssss) of staring at textbooks and notes but comprehend NOTHING. Yes, NOTHING.

86: Gelora


The Nobbies, 16th April 2009

"Gelora itu bisa aja membawa ketenangan.
Dan lebih dari itu...

Lebih dari itu.."

:)

85:

Heart of a muslim..

This is what I've been asking and waiting for.

And I know the price for it won't be cheap. I know. I know. I know.. Ya Rabb...

Dengan kenikmatan yang tak terkira ini, sanggupkah kau berkorban, barang sedikit?

Hanya sedikit, Muna!

---

Aku sedar, Ya Allah...

Lalu, dengan kesedaran ini.. Aku mengharapkan kekuatan..

Kekuatan.. kekuatan...

--

Bagaimana sampai kita boleh merasa gembira dengan ujian?
Kesedaran yang itu tanda cinta Nya...

Masih jauh... 

Mujahadah sampai mati..

Thowil walakin Ashiil ...
Sha'bun walakin Thabit...
Bathi'un walakin Madh'mun ...

"Kan best kalau duduk sini minus the study part... hehehe"

Anti-klimaks betul.

84: So much for a break

It's easter break. 

Ada Islamic Conference just 5 mins away. (Dah habis.. huhu sedih tak dpt nak join semua~ sempat ikuti beberapa sahaja on the first day).
Ada autumn gathering somewhere 3 hours away.  (Allambee camp, eh)
Ada hari-hari yang free from classes.

But I'm stuck here, struggling to finish my lab report. 
By hook or by crook kene siap malam ni jugak! (or pagi~) 

Procrastination kills.
It's killing me. 

Masa itu kan kehidupan.

Esok, submit the report pepagi buta, then... off to Dandenong!
(And please don't forget to bring along your 4 assignments, okay dear?)

So long, my friends ...

And 3 presentations instead of 2..

Nangis la...

Oh, ini rupenye student life yer.. dah 3rd year baru macam ni.. huhu.

82: Sometimes

Sometimes you have so much to say, you don't know where to start and in the end everything is left unsaid.

Events to look forward to: 

EASTER BREAK! for a week or so. Byk events!

AAIC Mercy Mission @ Uni of Melbourne. 
(Apart from the wonderful lectures, ada byk bazaar :p)

Balik Malaysia this end of May.


Things I don't look forward to:

Lab report submission this Thursday

3 assignments to be handed in after the break.

2 presentations after the break.

Allahumma yasirlana.. sometimes you just can feel that He lets you go through it all in ease..sometimes unexpectedly... Alhamdulillah..

Sesungguhnya manusia lah yang banyak menzalimi diri sendiri, in the end merumitkan keadaan, berpunca dari diri sendiri...

81: Abort

[Edit]Liputan ttg protest di bawah. Click [/Edit]

Pagi-pagi keluar rumah nak ke lab, terkejut kat luar ramai betul pak-pak polisi. Adekah ada crime scene di hadapan umah ku? Aku meneruskan langkah dengan selamba melepasi semua pak-pak polisi tersebut. Sampai intersection jalan umah kami and Berkeley St, terjawab lah persoalan ku kenapa ramai polis.

Rupanya ada demonstration kecil-kecilan kat depan klinik ni:


Terlupa nak amek gambo semasa kejadian berlaku. Ni tadi masa on the way back from lecture. Ha, inilah dia, Family Planning Centre atau bahasa yang semua org faham, abortion clinic. Sangat semangat orang2 yang berkumpul tu pagi tadi. Ada speaker siap yg menyampaikan ceramah dgn penuh emosi.

Before-before ni, selalu jugak ada 2-3 orang duduk depan klinik tu jugak, with posters "say no to abortion" etc.. tapi ni lah first time siap ada perkumpulan yg sangat ramai.

Tadi singgah kat toilet library. Orang-orang kat sni sangat suka menconteng-conteng dinding. Ada satu ayat tu "I'm scared. I just had an abortion and I haven't tell anyone." then ada orang sambung tulis bawah tu "It's ok. I had one too and no one knows. You don't have to tell anyone"

Hari tu pernah sorang akak medic ni share. Abortion is legal in Australia. Tapi sebelum ni ada limit dia.. like the fetus mesti less than 4 months ke camne entah. Tapi sekarang ni law ni dah di ammended. Means, baby tu besar macammana pun, it is legal utk abort.

Itulah. This civilization is losing its value. Makin hancur.

Masa awal-awal sampai sini dulu, sangat kagum how derang ni sgt mesra, jujur, tapi bila dah lama-lama, come to realize that kemesraan mereka itu penuh hypocrism. A very good customer service, sgt diambil berat kerana basisnya adalah money money money.. reputation.

Derang bagus. Aku akui. Tapi sangat dapat rasa yang this civilization is starting to lose its value..

Bila mana kemajuan itu diikat atas dasar yang tidak berkekalan...

Setiap tamadun ada masa naik, dan turunnya.. jatuh bangunnya...

Teringat sangat video ni.. if any of you tak tengok lagi, silalah tengok:

Anyway, lecturer baru bagi tau presentation ditangguhkan after easter break! Alhamdulillah. Dah sgt risau dah next week would be very busy. Dah bayang-bayang dah tak tido malam aa dan macam2 lagi. Ala kulli hal.. Alhamdulillah :)

80: Lagi-lagi Physics

Picture description: My lab mate was pouring liquid nitrogen into a green flask before pouring it into a dewer which contains a superconductor called SQUID. Superconducting Quantum Interference Device. Heh. 

Malu aa nak amek gambo yang angle lebih ok. Ni amek curik2. My lab mates are both pandai. They both are taking advanced stream class, unlike me who is taking the standard stream. Heh. Tapi baguslah, they are helpful in explaining all the going-ons in the experiment. Tak berlagak unlike my first ever lab partner when I was in first year! (yang mengundang culture shock and depression as well as trauma menghadapi lab.. huhu). Oh ye, this will be my experiment for this and next week. Squid squid squid.. 

Sempoi-sempoi je kitorang buat experiment. Safety precautions are taken tapi takdela sgt diperhatikan. Kalau pihak berkuasa tahu agak2nye kitorang akan diapa2kan tak. Last week lagilah sempoi. Dengan radioactivenye yang dihandle sesuka-hati.

Tapi tula, sebenarnya takde la bahaya sgt. Kalau terkena pun, probability it will cause any damage is very small. 

Sebenarnya satu perkataan je (or dua): Saya jakun. With all the stuff we're dealing with. Rasa mcm dah dekat jd scientist nih! Selama ni asik dengar orang deal with all these stuff.. liquid nitrogen, radioactive, etc2.. now I'm doing it myself! 

Bila buat lab, rasa sangat susah.. tapi amat membantu juga sebenarnya.. barulah I understand all the theories I learn in lectures.. barulah nampak bila nak guna this or that theory, equations etc.. barulah nampak the applications and nampak sendiri the evidences of some bizzare theory. Barulah faham konsep2 yang amat susah bila hanya baca ayat2 description.. energy transition, zeeman, superconductor etc2.. Tapi yang susahnya most of the time, lab tak selari dgn lecture.. kene buat research sendiri yang intensive utk memahamkan satu-satu eksperimen. 

Oh, post yang takde motif sungguh. Minta maaf. I just miss blogging. Sangat limited masa nak blogging sekarang ni. Lab work amat demanding and sangat banyak kerja lagi. Next week ada poster presentation. Oh, my first ever presentation in uni!! sangat nervous... Doakan segalanya berjalan lancar.

Huhu. Penat nye jadi budak third year. Macam takde life amek physics ni. 9 to 1 everyday dok kat lab. Then petang penuh lectures. If you're thinking of doing physics, think again! It's physically and mentally (mostly) demanding!! Perahlah otak sampai dapat jawapan soalan2 tak logik.

I am exaggerating. Seriously.

"Mai, do I look like a physics nerd, yet?" kata-kata my physics classmate sambil membetul2kan bajunya...

Mai tersenyum lalu berkata "Not yet, we're all STILL normal"

Later in lecture.. my friend beside me dah mula boring lalu memandang diriku. Then tiba-tiba muka terkejut 

"Mai!! your face! got ink!"

"Alamak! banyak ke?" Dia angguk bersungguh-sungguh. Another friend "Neeeerd!!!!"

Again, I am exaggerating.

Post takde motif. Maaf.
