Pasir Puteh, Perak

I'm not used to drive alone to Ipoh or any places around Perak which are a bit far from UTP. I'm scared I'll be lost. If you're lost in KL it still doesn't matter. There are a lot of signboard that can route you back to your destination. But if you're lost in Ipoh or any area around Perak I don't think we can rely on signboard. At least for the time being. It will improve I believe. But my scariest driving experience was in Damansara. It has a lot of signboard with a lot of crazy diverging junctions.

I went to Pasir Puteh to find another two solar panels with the rating 3W6V. So I went to the most famous electronic shop among UTPian, the State Electronics. Unfortunately the solar panel with the rating that i'm looking for isn't available anymore. I moved to the next shops and still couldn't get the exact rating that I want. Its very hard to find a very small one or a very big one when you're looking for solar panel. And mine are very small. I went to the last shop that I know and that's my last hope. Finally I met them in the last shop :) 

3W 6V panel

I bought this at RM95 each. I need two of these and there are only two left in the shop and probably in the whole Pasir Puteh, so that's really mine! But I forgot to look at the name of the shop :(

Sri Iskandar

Nowadays Sri Iskandar has become quite congested due to lots of cars. In these 4 years, I have witnessed a big changes happen to this place since my first year. Tesco, Billion, Giant, Mydin, McDonald, KFC, Secret Recipe, boutiques and all other shops didn't exist during my first time being here back in July 2009. I remember how at those time when I was about to cry as I cannot find even chocolate in Tronoh and Sri Iskandar after one year living in Subang Jaya town, a big shopping hub.

But still, there are so many places near UTP are not in my DONE list. 

I was looking for a new restaurant this evening and found out one in Bandar Universiti, Sri Iskandar. It's either the restaurant is new or me didn't notice it before. Chop & Grill Corner is the name. It's a normal western food restaurant and its cheap I think. The fish & chips I tried today costs RM5.50. Reasonable with the amount of the food in the plate.

Smoothie

Sometimes you plan for something to happen at certain time, but it happened the other way round. I plan to finish this small solar tracker circuit by today but I don't think it will work. By the way, it should works! Whyyyyy?? So the FYP2 first week milestone is not achieved. Anyway I brought all the stuffs out of lab and keep it in my room so I can do this during weekend. Rabbi yassir wa la tuassir Ya Allah Ya Kareem.

Al-Kahfi and chocolate banana smoothie are here for stress relieving :)

Simple recipe for chocolate banana smoothie:

1. Banana

2. Chocolate powder / milo / vico / ovaltine

3. Condense milk / fresh milk

4. Plain original yogurt

5. 3 to 4 cubes of ice

Blend all above. Happy weekend everyone! :D

First Sushi At Home

I'm not really into sushi actually. I've a mind setting that sushi restaurant always serve raw food and surely I cannot accept it. I've tried a raw salmon in my aunt's house and that's enough to make me lose my appetite for few days. It is so sad actually to know that I can't accept certain food from some part of this world :( That is soooo not universal and not cool! How can I survive traveling the world later on.

But sometime sushi really catch my attention. So it feels really good if I can do it at home and alter the ingredient that suit my taste :) I'll make sure the food is cooked first, and no way that I'm going to put those exotic animal inside my sushi rolls. That is so scary and too adventurous for me. lols.

This is my first attempt making a very normal sushi rolls at my home yesterday :)

End of Semester

I have just submitted the final interim report to Turnitin at 11.30 pm and that marks the end of this semester. FYP 1 interim report is the last to be submitted after a suffocating week with no single day without submission or test. The craziest week. The battlefield is not only physically but emotionally, mentally. When Allah wants to test you inside out.

I'm devastated Ya Allah without your help. I'm so devastated. Please Allah, please, don't leave me alone. Please. I'm so weak.

First exam paper start next Thursday. Allahumma yassir wa la tuassir. Rabbi zidni 'ilma.
