Hmmm... I am quite sleepy now, so I'm taking a break. While I'm tidying up the mess around me I found few photos of Fremantle. I scanned it immediately and voila! I really love B&W!





//Cappuccino Strip - There's plenty of cafes on both side of the street. That's how this street got its name! Its not a good shot I think. Imagine aku abehkan 36 B&W film within 2 hours... mmg penat jalan sane-sini





//The Best Song In The World - Indahnye ciptaan Allah! This photo was taken in front of The Roundhouse. It was a nice day, and the wind blew quite brisk. Hmmm... I wish I will be there again in future! Kalo ade tikar mengkuang dah lame melelapkan diri kat situ...





//The Esplanade - I can't explain how wonderful it was when I sat down and took a short nap... Tempat ni best pegi... ni baru Freo belum tempat lain lg eg. Albany, Bunbury, bla bla bla bla... best buat piknic kalo tak ramai org...





//No idea what the hell is this... Perhaps a cathedral... Rasenye ni nak perabih filem je kot time tuh...



Camera: Yashica Point & Shoot XXXX (I can't recall what model it was)

Film: Kodak B&W TN4100 36xp

Surfed to Projek Petaling Street just now. It was kinda repository of all Malaysian weblogs - reflected from its slogan ---> "Content From Malaysians Being Malaysian".One site that really caught my attention was TV Smith's Dua Sen. It features entertaining sarcastic jokes about life in Malaysia. So Ya hala, make TV Smith's your daily surfing diet.



BTW, TV Smith's Dua Sen URL is:

Why oooo why???

Something I wonder, why these mindless drones always trying to convince me to stay abroad forever... instead of going back and serve the country? Yet they have sworn earlier before reaching up to this stage, they're should be here not because of money, glamour or any other ridiculous reasons. They all keep saying these annoying words all the time, to the extent I nearly kill myself! IMHO, if money you're after for, then go into something else. Medicine is way too noble to be contaminated by this kind of syndrome. Saying such as "OOOooooOOO I wanna stay here coz I can earn more... and I can buy a car big big, then I could have a good family.... bla bla bla bla..." makes I hate them even more. I am aware that the enviroment makes the difference - ie suitable for schooling your children, et cetera, but please bear in mind of what your purpose of being here is all about. There are awful lots of Malaysians that deprived of good treatment.... Come to think about that, it is a fact that some of us only made empty promises... I hope I am not offending anyone of you, but this is what I've observed about their mentality nowadays. Note:This is solely a reminder for my own good, just in case should I went astray...



Film Speed

Spoke to photo lab guy few days ago about film speed and et cetera. He told me that I must develop "view of a pro photographer" before I can make it. He is damn talented, and he was like a guru. Here's the summary of what I've learnt from him:



//ISO 1600 - Concerts, gigs, or whatever "dark" events

//ISO 800 - Indoor games (no flash), Outdoor games in the evening. For best results, use monopod or tripod

//ISO 400 - Action, preferably on a clear day.

//ISO 200 - Cloudy day... or night scene (bulb)

//ISO 100 - Hills and mountains or I should say nature photos. Using a tripod is a must I suppose.



So hopefully I could be a better photographer... and obviously there's a long way to go...

Official Ambassador's Cup Anthem



//Name Of The Game

Huhu....uuh...huuu....

Crowd:

C'mon everybody!



In the middle of the field

You wonder how it feels

To be in the middle of along

Along hot Saturday



You were all over there

And the most local scenes

How it all begin

From the moment of the shining goal



Like it's gonna be a cold day

Like there is no one gonna blow a whistle

dont blame me with no treat

Coz I'am so tired and so sick Coz' Iam

What's the name of the game 2x

You were playin'

What's the name of the game 2x

You were playin'



Huhu....uuh...huuu....

I tought I will be the only one who care

But I should have known before we play

Before we play

Playin' again

Playin' again



Hmmm... apparently the "game" is whatever field we are in, no matter how it differs to each other. We are the players, and to keep the game going, we just have to kick the ball... and I heard about a saying - If it's in the game, it's in the game... So, do not let your anger overwhelms yourself... coz losing and winning is just one of the part of the whole picture. What makes its important is what do you get from losing/winning... and one more thing, trust me - shit happens. And the really big deal is how to evade it in future instead of blaming whose shit is this. It is totally pathetic for cursing what's already took place aloud, and do you think that will clean up the whole mess? OOoo God, what the hell I'm babbling about?

Hola. Photos of Ambassador's Cup are here. See it for yourself ok.

Dessert Night

Hundreds (if not thousands :P) of Surgeons flocked to College Hall on Friday night. It was Dessert Night, where everybody have to bring their own dessert. Some featured dessert are - Butterscotch Pie, Pengat Pisang, Popia, Onde-onde and Serimuka. Full report is available online at http://www.ihavenomoodforbloggingtoday.com



Ambassador's Cup

The most awaited soccer tournament in Ireland has come! DBS A, DBS B, RC, UCD, Trinity, Cork, Galway, Postgrads and Belfast, compete to reach the peak. Defending champion is Galway, and they played superbly for the whole competition. Unfortunately, their reign had been taken away when they lost to RC in a thrilling match. Another champion has emerged - Dublin Business School A (yup... they sent 3 teams) is the champion, defeating RC by penalty shoot-out. You guys are great! In earlier stage, RC team nearly disqualified for semi-final, but by the grace of God, DBS A trashed Belfast, and this paved the road for RC to the final. After all, the greatest underdog of the year goes to UCD - lost in all matches, and didn't manage to score any goals and that was their worst performance to date.



PMC Sports Day

//I'll write about this later. Not enough brain juice!

I think for the first time ever here, I am depressed and I felt the whole day soooo slow to be gone thru. This kinda reminds me of last year's hectic life. When everybody was already back in Malaysia, having nice time with their family, I still couldn't get myself out of the misery. I was wallowing in my own self-pity, and what made it bad I didn't realize that I did. I really pissed me off of my failure. I spent the whole day lying on the grass at Fremantle, trying to get rid off the dissappointment that really haunted me out. But now, Alhamdulillah it was all over... and I feel much better... much much much better... I feel full of beans! End of today's ramble.





Ok here's some photos that worth sharing with.





//St Stephen's Green... a micro-version of Phoenix Park, Irish answer to King's Park in Perth.





//Pusat Membeli-belah St Stephen... tempat melepak budak RC di kala bosan...





//On our way to Malaysia Hall, which only few seconds away after this photo had been taken.





//Kwn-kwn kita tgh cuba makan dengan tangan...

Hohoho... I only had 1 lecture today but too bad it was a boring one. The lecturer was mumbling all the time, and this would be the main reason why I fall asleep during the lecture. And today we have a delegation from Ministry of Education (Malaysia ok...) and they invited us for some sort of refreshment. Basically they came here to learn about the Irish style and standard for the renumeration scheme, which is solely based on competency, not seniority. We have 360,000 teachers back in Malaysia, and how am I going to choose only the best of the breed, to be promoted? Looks like they got a tough job... But the most important thing is the food! I mean, free lunch! Come to think about food, this coming Friday we gonna have Dessert Night, pretty much like a potluck. Hmmm, I've asked my mom some special dessert recipe, but so far I haven't made my decision yet. Just wait and see!



Blues Terengganu Kita

Kalu tuang gi pata timor

Jangan lupa maghi sokmo

Negeri terengganu memang sohor

Tempat molek, tanah subor

Tempak Molek, tanah subor

Na na na na na Terengganu kita ( 2X )



Hoi guang gamoik tu

Yak kelih wak tangi



Pulau kapas, Pulau Redang

Kita lalu ikut Marang

Jangan lupa kuala berang

Sekayu comel, zaman berzaman

Sekayu comel, zaman berzaman

Na na na na na Terengganu kita ( 2X )



Hoy hoy hoy

bangun ke laut eeh...

takat ikang di Kuala Kemamang

Petang-petang wat kerpok gete

Ramai orang, atah gere



Main dam dua tiga papang

Dok sedor sampai ke malang

Kedai payang jual budu belacang

Batek tembaga dan macang-macang



Kalu nok tra nasi dagang

Kita pakat gi kampong ladang

Buat bekal gi merang

Di setiu pata peranginan

Singgah sebetor ke rantau abang

Kita tengok penyu telor

Kita tengok penyu telor



Selamt datang wei...

Tempat kami ramai-ramai

Selamat datang

Negeri kami



Kita singgoh kat primula

Batu burok tepi pata

Laut biru di tanjong jara

Tempat rilek orang dok kacai

Tempat rilek anok-anok dara

comel-comel belaka...

Na na na na na Terengganu kita ( 2X )



//nih lagu favourite aku skang... baru 3 minggu sini dah berangan balek Malaysia... :P





Aku dulu dan sekarang dan masa akan datang?



//Last year's photo - I bought precooked rice with chicken curry at UWA's Musolla.



//Last week's photo - I was peeling some onions... baru masak sket kitchen dah bersepah!

To Rupyana or not, that is the question...

Just got back from Almhari Pizza. Me, Shafiq and Mohan had a dinner there - pizza, chips and burgers. I'm tired of eating out at Rupyana... you know, I bet even the cashier is sicked of seeing us. Not because of my bad table manner, or having the same meal everytime I popped in there, but simply because I had enough of Rupyana. It's better to get some sort of diversity in where you would go for dinner or lunch :). Okay tomorrrow we have fresher's day for Muslim student in Dublin. Many kind of activities will be held I suppose. And I've heard a senior said that there will be photography session for Salam Perantauan. Cool...



Keranamu anakku...

Ni tadi kawan aku cerita, time fresher day kat UCD City Campus. Kisahnya macam ni... Setelah 2 minggu Hari Raya Aidilfitri berlalu, ade seorg kawan ni dapat panggilan mengejut. Ayahanda tersayang telah pun kembali ke rahmatullah. Ibunya merahsiakan hal takut anaknya yang tengah exam akan terganggu. Anak yang kesedihan ini sangat berbelah-bahagi... nak balik ke tak nak... walaupun ibunya melarang kerana sayangkan anaknya... walaupun duit simpanan cukup untuk pulang... itulah pengorbanan ibu-bapa kita. Kerana sangat sayangkan kita, sanggup ibunya merahsiakan segalanya. Aku penah dengar... ade seorg tu ayahnya meninggal ketika di tahun pertama lagi... tapi die baru tahu apabila dah nak grad... betapa hancur hatinya... tapi lebih baik dari hancurnya hati ibu melihat anaknya gagal dalam tahun pertama kerana kesedihan ayahanda yang baru pergi... So pk pk kan kisah ini. Kita mungkin ronggeng bagai nak rak kat oversea nun... tapi kita lupa harapan mak ayah kat tanah air sana. Kita mungkin setakat bermurung sekiranya kita gagal... tetapi fikirkanlah perasaan mak ayah bila mereka tahu berita sedih macam tuh... mungkin berlinangan air mata mereka... fikirkan... Jangan biarkan setitis air mata mereka pun jatuh kerana kegagalan, sebaliknya dengan kecemerlangan 1st class honours...

Assalamualaikum. Finally I've got my own iBook. So I can do my work with much ease, rather than racing for a seat in computer lab everyday. Coz most of my lecture notes are available online, so it is a necessity to have a computer! Well I don't have anything to talk about my life today at the moment, yet I still something to say which is very important - Be confident. It is a simple principle but it has large impact in whatever you do everyday esp if you're Muslim. Ok enough said, I'll talk more on this later. I'm so sleepy right now...



Apa itu syirik?

Kadang-kadang kite pon tak prasan kite dah buat syirik. Pasal bende tu mungkin nampak kecik. Atau kite pon ambik tak kesah sangat. Yela, kite fikir kite tak mungkin sampai ke tahap sebegitu. Syirik nih maksudnye menyekutukan Allah, or secara mudahnye kita anggap bende lain ade kuasa n power mcm Allah. Contoh mudah - kite harap dengan ayat Quran yg digantung kat dinding, tade syaitan atau jin akan ganggu kita. Hmmm... bende ni mmg related sangat bende mengarut n khurafat macam tangkal tuh. Well, elakkan laaa dari menghampiri dan terlibat bende merepek camnih. Bukan ape, bende ni jugak akan rosakkan akidah/tauhid kita, yang jadi batu asas iman kita. Yang penting kita kene yakin pada Allah bahawa Allah akan tolong kita. Provided kita dapat prove kita ni layak untuk ditolong. Caranya? Banyakkan amal, dan sentiasa ingat Dia. Mulekan dengan bende yang ringkas macam bace Bismillah setiap kali buat kerja dan Alhamdulillah bila sesuatu dah disiapkan. Aku bukannye berpoyo ke ape, cume aku nak ingatkan diri aku sendiri. Kalo ade mende aku cakap nih salah, silalah tegur ye....
