(1)Sorry for the absent from blogsphere for quite some time. Here's some short summary of my thoughts.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thoughts One: Less for More</span><br />I took the past few weeks in readjusting myself, fitting myself to be more productive and creative instead of being counter-productive. I'll blog about this next week.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thoughts Two: A Dedication (<a href="http://blog.kiawin.com/2008/04/dedication.html">link</a>)</span><br />Some of you already read the dedication, it's actually taken from my thesis. It's an extraction from the bible on Psalms 16:8-11. This dedication was first placed in my Bachelor degree thesis, as a mark of remembrance of God's grace. For some of you would know, I was nearly unable to graduate 4 years back when my notebook filled with my final year project was stolen. And I wrote this dedication when I completed my thesis, in time, plus a good result.<br /><br />This dedication was reinsert in my master degree thesis, without much thought at first (I admit it). One worth noting is that my master degree would just like how the Israelites wander in the desert for 40 years, though you might correct me that it's just 1 year plus for my thesis and another 8 months for my viva voce. One thing for sure, the dedication still the same. April 28 is the day, and I truly thank God I'm exiting the desert - with much excitement.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thoughts Three: Next?</span><br />Many might ask what's next. I've many in mind. And you're right... I'll post on this matter when I pass my viva voce, hopefully, on this coming Monday :) Just to spice things up, being materialistic and naive (though it really has nothing to do with what's next), I really hope to reward myself with this phone. <a href="http://aud-oddie.blogspot.com/">Ms. A</a>, as I promised... this is the phone I might get when I'm officially done with my master :P slurp~<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/image/samsung/i780/live/high/live05.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/image/samsung/i780/live/high/live05.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Dear friends, do uphold my viva voce in prayers :)<br /><br />As I always say... can't wait to graduate!!kiawinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06936268640911842641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879498.post-53081661110689907242008-04-17T20:41:00.000+08:002008-04-17T20:42:08.982+08:00Dedication<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 200%;" align="center">To the one who loves me unconditionally,</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 200%;" align="center">“I will not be shaken, for you are right beside me</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 200%;" align="center">No wonder my heart is filled with joy</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 200%;" align="center">Because you will not leave my soul among the dead</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 200%;" align="center">You will show me the meaning of life</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 200%;" align="center">Granting me the joy of your presence</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 200%;" align="center">And the pleasure of living with you forever”</p>kiawinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06936268640911842641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879498.post-26274950090535129502008-04-11T12:43:00.001+08:002008-04-11T12:54:13.930+08:00to pig or not to pig?Pig has been a big issue for the start of a new era. In this case, maybe we should thank God that the year of Pig has passed and no Chinese will say anyone who protest against the modern pig farming project is being seditious against racial harmony (hence against the constitution, rukun negara, bla bla bla).<br /><br />Anyway.. just some sarcasm in the previous paragraph. I just wonder, if being implemented in a proper way (including aspect of management, in views of benefits and resolves current problems), why make such a fuss out of it?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Don't forget:</span><br />1. This project bukan satu project Kerajaan Barisan Nasional. Rakyat will make sure every single cent is being utilize for a right cause (and not for somebody's BIG pocket).<br /><br />2. Relocation of open pig farms reduces environmental issues. Don't you get it?<br /><br />3. This technology sure reduce environmental issue? Refer to number 1.<br /><br />4. Alternative food? You're just as naive as asking others to eat other food which they chose not to eat.<br /><br /><br />Apparently, nowadays "demonstrations" is no longer a peculiar incident, but part and parcel of Malaysian lifestyle.<br /><br />Unlike someone says... "Ini bukan cara orang Malaysia ni...."<br /><br />Aya... why makes things so complicating???<br /><br />Can Malaysians talk sanely?kiawinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06936268640911842641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879498.post-21979629298963766672008-03-27T00:58:00.000+08:002008-03-27T01:38:11.272+08:00updatesPhew.... finally a break after a long busy days.<br /><br />Will update very soon :)kiawinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06936268640911842641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879498.post-77794023140696109472008-03-13T23:35:00.002+08:002008-03-14T00:39:00.863+08:00Post Tidal (1): who's right, who's wrong?Of all the gung-ho of Perak MB....<br /><br /><br />theStar said "<span class="text"><span class="story_header"><a href="http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/3/13/nation/20632032&sec=nation">Questions over MB post as state leaders defy Kit Siang</a>".</span></span><br /><br /><blockquote><span class="text"> KUALA LUMPUR: The saga of who will head the coalition government in Perak has taken a dramatic turn, with DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang ordering his party assemblyman to stay away from the swearing-in of the Mentri Besar – and they have chosen to defy him. </span></blockquote><span class="text"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Wow... very daring DAP state leaders uh...</span><br /><br /><br />Let see what <a href="http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/Frontpage/20080313160134/Article/index_html">NST</a> says,<br /></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span></b></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">11.42am:</span> The DAP apologises for its statement yesterday that the party’s CEC protested the appointment of Perak Pas secretary Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as Menteri Besar<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.16pm: </span>Perak DAP chairman Ngeh Koo Ham announces that representatives from all political parties in the Perak coalition government will attend Nizar’s swearing-in<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span></span></blockquote><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Wait a minute...

Ever since I started working I find it hard to concentrate in reading. Among the few books (and magazines) that I read since Chinese New Year, I was ticked by one article titled "The Trouble with Malaysians" by Brian Yap in January's issue of <a href="http://amirmu.blogspot.com/2008/01/brians-essay-printed-in-full.html">"Off The Edge"</a>, which leads me to this interesting book titled - "New Malaysian Essays 1".<br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2330/2212729576_4f4e9a846b.jpg?v=0" /><br /><br />A note, Brian Yap did a fantastic job in summarizing Malaysia, in a very witty context :)<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />You can grab this book from <a href="http://amirmu.blogspot.com/2008/02/now-in-selected-mph-stores.html">some bookstores</a> near you. I saw some in Kinokuniya, Suria KLCC (in the NEW BOOKS section). Too bad Popular bookstore near my house didn't carry this title :)<br /><br />I supposed, <a href="http://amirmu.blogspot.com/2008/01/why-new-malaysian-essays-1-will-not-be_23.html">hiccups </a>did not hinder them from publishing this book :)kiawinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06936268640911842641noreply@blogger.com
