Well, engineer-to-be.

Few days before, Mr. Ajit, one of the boss in my department, asked me about some basic engineering question. The questions are just simple that I thought engineer-to-be should have those sense, but the fact is, I couldn't answer almost all of his questions. And that is so sad. I should have wrote all those mind-breakers because it will be so nice to share with all. One of the funniest question I could remember clearly now is:

1. "What is the most used instrument in the world?"

I smiled and then he asked the second question,

2. "What is an instrument?"

I smiled again and he answered, "Don't think so complicated. An instrument is just a thing that is used to measure quantity. And the most used instrument in this world is, your watch. It is used to measure time."

Working with him remind me of Mr. Jega, my Circuit Theory lecturer. Their similarities are, they are truly from India, they are very neat in attire, systematic, workaholic, knows everything that exist in the world maybe. And I would say they are both so academician. I do respect people from India.

Just wondering yesterday, today, and maybe tomorrow, how do we measure love? What instrument did my heart used as it dares and truly believe what it feels. Everyday.

Wonder of love and science

Hartal

Today Dr. Raja Iskandar, our beloved lecturer for Malaysian Studies subject,  shown us one video regarding Malaysian history. We were given a quiz right after the video ended and the question is based on the video: 

Not more then three line, describe what is HARTAL? 

My answer: It is a protest  lead by AMCJA-PUTERA happened in 20th October 1947 to fight against the Federation Constitution introduced by British. It involved the strike from the whole Malaysia and shutdown of schools, shop, clinic and so on. AMCJA-PUTERA introduced 'Perlembagaan Rakyat' as an alternative toward 'Federation Constitution'.

 Presenting a history in a video and other media stuff, is a very good idea, an effective way to convey the message and the feeling behind it. Watching, listening, allow your heart to go deep into the meaning and value of a history, and your mind working easier to remember the facts of the occasion such as dates, places, issues. Just like how this video did to me, i admit that it will remain longer in my mind, playing at the back of my head to digest, understand, and remember that moment of history. Somehow, this video left me with one mysterious question. Why did this HARTAL have never been discussed in class, and also not in the textbook when I was in school. Not in PMR, and not in SPM.

Beating Procrastination

Alhamdulillah, this is a very good guide for us to beat procrastination. But this guide will bring no meaning if we don't even struggle to follow it. It will be so tough, coz our uninvited and unpaid PA (syaitan) always be there with us. But remember Allah is closer to us then anybody else. 

Chapter 50: Sūrah Qāf

"And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein." Surah Qaf : 16

Let's be a productive Muslim! ;)

Productive Muslim

True life we face

I have a friend, I've been with her quite a long time. I was with her during my school time in Maahad Hamidiah Kajang. And I was with her during my college time in Taylor's University College. She's now far from me. But space does not separate us. She has a friend and she love him so much. One day I got a news, her friend is confirmed with a lung cancer. Few days after, Allah has taken him from this world. She is in sorrow, and I know I could not bear the test Allah give her I swear. I'm so sad that I only can give her some words in the hope that she can be stronger to face the test. But I know that she does not need those words I said to her, as Allah has given her so many strength. The strength comes with the test she is facing now. Allah gives it to her in every second, I see it. And the boy is a nice and wonderful person, I know. Allah takes him from this world, from his family, and from her, because of something big. Allah knows better. I'm glad to hear news that he has inverted to Islam, and may Allah guide his way to Jannah. Allah knows better.

 I thought this story will only come into a drama, or a movie, made by people. But I forgot that our true life, true story is made by Allah. And HE is so powerful that HE is the one who gives everything we have now. Whether it's a happy life, or an unbearable test, Allah knows better. And I've never thought this could happen to my dear friend, so I realized that she is a strong girl that Allah has chosen her and him. Her story makes me think more, love more, appreciate more. It makes me want to show my love to all people around me. Then I talk to my friends, I talk to my mama and my ayah, I feel their love in return. And the first name resound in my head, I want to go and talk to him, to say, how much I love him, how much I always want to be with him. I always want to talk to him. I was waiting for him. Day 1 and day 2 and day 3. But he is still not there. How I love him so much, and how I miss him so much. But I'm done chasing him. So I know it's time. I should realize. I should accept. Leave it to Allah.

Leave it to HIM.

Job Hunter

List of Companies I approached.

Now a lot of my friends have gotten their offer for internship. But i haven't got any. Well I know I don't deserve that very early placement offer because 1) No all-out effort yet, I can count on my finger how many company did I approached. 2) I'm not a Petronas Scholar so the chance to get a placement for petronas bonded companies is quite hard. 3) My CGPA is not that good, oh man. So tonite I spend all night long to update my resume, and search all the electrical related companies, being a job hunter. And I've sent my CV and cover letter to 55 companies by tonight. I need some rest now. And I need to pray harder, may Allah ease this process for me, and give the best placement that I deserve to get, in all ways. InsyaAllah :)
