What Does Your Name Mean?

Gangsters on the park (Part II)

akhirnya berjaya jugak aku pegi menonton citer Gangster kat tgv ipoh, hehe.. walaupun seorang diri tetap kugagahkan jua.. mcm sengal gak le gi tgk sorang sorang tp apa nk buat, dh mmg xde org yg nk ikut.. dak² utp ni cuti, osmet seme pun x menunjukkan minat yg mendalam utk join aku. so pas kelas kat mbi ptg smlm, aku lepak je umah dak² sari 5, kul 8.30 shoot ke KC, tgk citer tu sorang² hehe..

sinopsis cerita (mengikut pendapat aku ;P)
errr.. lebeh kurang camni la.. 3 watak berlainan yg dimainkan oleh rosyam nor - LEGAU, NALA, and ROSLI - 3 jln cerita yg berbeza and at the end jadi only 1 story. here how it goes:~

LEGAU (asal dari perkataan berlegar - suka merayau, nickname given to rosyam by his grandma when he was small :) - tu la bang, suke sgt merayau.. hehe) seorang yg sgt suke berlumba haram - kereta of kos. kete dia mmg power beb. member dia- apek (x ingt la apa nama watak apek, sowi) yg akan gi cucuk² mamat² yg kepingin nk race ngn legau nih. betting - mmg tinggi beb, main riban riban nye value.. salah sorang yg penah kene cucuk dek apek ni utk race ngn LEGAU was REZAL, anak org kaya.

NALA (actually it's rosyam's brother's name (: ) is a drug dealer. besides dealing with his own customers, he also used RIA untuk mengedarkan pil pil khayal kepada awek awek yg dtg berkunjung kat kelab di mana SUFI bekerja. they gained a lot of money. sampai satu masa RIA dh fed-up nk tolong NALA so she asked SUFI to help him out. they planned a runaway, together with NALA's money.

ROSLI - ni nama rosyam nor nye abg sulong :) - is a married man with a wife and a daughter. seorang peniaga di gerai makan aroung bangsar. tertipu oleh HAMZAH dlm satu skim simanan wang - skim cepat kaya. in order to join the scheme, he borrowed an amount from the loanshark. when realized that he's being cheated by HAMZAH, ROSLI desperately needed money since the loanshark had taken his wife and daughter.

SUFI and RIA manage to get a car to run away from NALA. NALA's people berjaya mengesan SUFI dan RIA. so berlakulah adegan kejar mengejar. ROSLI yg sedang kebingungan sedang berjalan di tgh kota mencari sumber kewangan. LEGAU and REZAL are still in the race. di satu junction - REZAL langgar lampu merah - merempuh kereta SUFI dan RIA - SUFI asked for help from ROSLI yg kebetulan passing by the car. looking at the money in RIA's bag, ROSLI terus amik le, apa tunggu lagi.. LEGAU yg smp lmbt skit kat tmpt kejadian still dlm halaju yg tinggi. looking at REZAL yg dh mai dlm kereta, LEGAU hilang kawalan and hit SUFI's car. REZAL and LEGAU died in the car accident, SUFI and RIA survived.

what happened to NALA and ROSLI? NALA had this 'cool' fight with Aqasha (sori beb, x ingt nama watak, huhu) in the club. shot each other to death! ROSLI managed to get back his wife and daughter tp kena tangkap ngn pak polisi gak akhirnya.

fewwhh.. mcm tu la lebeh kurang.. cerita mmg best, tip top~!! pergerakan cerita laju, mmg x smpt nk ngantuk.. cuma ada la satu part yg aku ngantuk - masa sblm start tu kan ada byk iklan, huhu.. ngantuk giler, nak nak plak masa tu baru je pas makan nasik goreng daging masak pedas yg dibeli di dazley food, benteng, tc, hehe.. aksi lumba kereta sgt best. watak rosyam nor yg paling aku salute is NALA. best betul, menjadik tu jahat dia, hehe.. bravo brother~!! ada byk isu yg turut diketengahkan dlm citer ni, which i think were very good. rasanya nk kena tgk lagi skali ni kot, haha.. tahniah tu BADE HJ AZMI for the great movie. hope we'll see more of this in the future~!!

Graduate Assistantship Scheme

Graduate Assistantship Scheme (or GA Scheme) - first time hearing about it when i enroll into the MSc program of UTP. ever you heard about it?

what is GA scheme?
hehe.. let me briefly explain what it's all about and how does it kinda manipulating us, the MSc students, hehe.. GA scheme is a scheme offered by the varsity to help the students to pay the fees of the course - around rm17,00/year.

how is GA scheme being implement?
student had to serve the department, by doing some academic deliveries - such as lab demonstrating, conducting tutorial classes, mending lab manuals, trial run of new equipment etc. , everything regarding academic deliveries- for 52 hours/month, or equivalent to 13 hours/week. which means that at least two days of the working days being dedicated to complete the GA workload.

what is gained from GA scheme?
serving 52 hours per month will waive out the rm17,000 fees to be paid annually. and the student will be paid rm60 per working days (which is calculated as 22 pukul rata). so now you know how much i'm earning? yeahhh.. hehe.. seciput je beb.. around rm1320/month. and of course, what is gained from it is the experience of teaching and dealing with students and also lecturers. good one. yang baik dijadikan tauladan, yang tak baik dijadikan sempadan.

what if the workload of 52 hours/month is not completed?
huh, this what had happened to me last month! no allowance for the whole month!! and if this matter continue for the next month, the student may be asked to pay for the fees! which is around rm1400 a month.

is GA workload and pay worth it?
ermm.. very i guess.. dari segi materialnya mmg nmpk sedikit, ony rm1320 gained - x tolak duit sewa rumah, bil air, bil elektrik, bil telefon.. but then the rm1400++ being waived to pay the fees pun should be considered. so sbnrnye dpt around rm2700 - wow, byk tu, kalah gaji engineer petronas yg baru masuk keje... hehe.. tp tula, can't be seen in material wise. but then kadang kadang bila fikir balik bakpe la byr smp rm1400 per month to utp ni? opis pun xde pc.. kena pakai pc sendiri, xpun menempek kat lab mana mana yg ada pc. sedang student cuti ni mewahla aku guna lab ni tp when the semster starts haruslah aku menjadi bagai melukut di tepi gantang je, huhu..

conclusions
bersyukur je lah dgn apa yg Allah kurniakan.. keep striving for the best, dan tawakkal je lah.. ganbatte kudasai~!!!

Relaku Pujuk

hari ahad lepas baru je tv3 tayangkan siaran secara langsung Juara Lagu 19, whereby 12 songs from 3 different categories berentap nk dptkan gelaran Juara Lagu!! kinda excited with the results, hehe.. hosted by Najip Ali , Sarimah and Cheryl Samad, the AJL19 with the theme "Simfoni Alam Sejuta Ilham" was kinda informal, really informal.. although with the presence of isteri YAB Perdana Menteri, Datin Seri Endon Mahmood, the host seemed not to really controlling the ceremony well.. tp entahlah, maybe tu mmg konsep malam tu, cumanya mcm x sesuai bila Sarimah and najip keep 'fighting' and 'kutuking' each other sampailah sehingga hampir tamat rancangan.. huhu.. very the x seswai u know~.. unggas lah, cengkerik lah.. hehe.. mungkin sbb nk seswaikan ngn tema of alam tu kot.. about tanah, api dan air.. pape pun, aku ttp sokong dan Sarimah dan Najip Ali, dan Cheryl jugak, mmg korang host yg hebat!!.. cumanya, tu la tu, mcm x brapa seswai~ ;P ok, now continue with the AJL19 finalist.. the songs competed were~

claiming your money from EPF

being registered back as student on July 2003, we were told by the finance department that the rm400 paid to utp for enrolling the course (rm150) and paying for the research methodology course (rm250) can be claimed from the epf account. wow! byk tu.. hehe.. my first act was to go to the kwsp (kumpulan wang simpanan pekerja) office and asked for penyata akaun. and up to 2003, the money collected from my previous jobs as guru ganti is around rm400~ hehe.. hrmm.. that's good, i guess.. ok latu kan, baru keje 3 kali - lebeh kurang 5 bulan campur seme skali dh ada dlm rm400 lebeh.. but then i was thinking of taking a raincheck! maybe next time when i really need it then only i'll take the money out... so, being jobless in november and december, utp refused to pay my allowance for the month of december! heh- this is the time to take out the money~ rm400- enough la to keep my stomach from singing keroncong and fill up the fuel tank of my green kancil. so last week i went to kwsp in wisma keladi sungai petani.. awal giler.. 8.05 reach there oledi.. kakak kaunter pun still having her breakfast kat pantri tu.. hehe.. waited until 8.15, then the kakak came to the pertanyaan kaunter.. so i went sumthing like this "erm, akak, kalao saya sambung belajaq, bole kan saya nk claim dari kwsp?" then the kakak asked,"belajaq kat mana tu dik?" "erm, universiti petronas", i answered. then the kakak said,"bole dik, tp resit tak bole lebeh setahun~!!" then i went - "ALAMAK!" (dalam hati la ni, hehe).. "erm, kalo camtu tak dapat la kak, resit saya ni dah setahun stengah....." hmfff.. unlucky me.. x dpt nk kuarkan duit kwsp.. tu la, konon nk berjimat sgt, nah, rasakan.. hehe.. nemind, guess i'll be seeing the money in 29 years time kalao panjang umor~ hehe.. so guys and ladies, next time kalau sambung blajar tu cepat cepat la claim dari kwsp tu, make sure within one year dh claim dari kwsp, provided taht you all mmg dh ada akaun kwsp la kan, hehe.. claim, jgn x claim, kecuali le kalo kome mmg dh ada byk duit, jgn jadik mcm aku yg tiba tiba terhagap nk carik duit smp x cukup celah dh ni ha, hehe.. ayuh~ ayuh kembali ke sekolah, ayuh~!!!

Tsunami Imagery of Kalutara Sri Lanka

View the imagery overview of the immediate aftermath of the tsunami and receding waves on the Southwestern Coast of Sri Lanka. The imagery of waves following the tsunami has been reported by some to spell out the name "Allah" in Arabic. (feeling some goosebumps oledi, heh?). first hearing about it from kak elmi, i was not really into believing it, but then, seeing the image with own eyes, hmfff, kinda scary though. although it was not so clear but you can really see it. recapping what ustaz said last night during the majlis ijazah in pusat selam lumut, He only sent a little of His army, which is water, and that's only a small portion of His water-army. so only ppl leaving nearby sea were affected. what if He sent his wind-army? for sure more ppl will be affected, rite? no matter where you are staying, wind sure will reach you! so, keep in mind (this is to me especially), living here is temporary.. we are ought to live another live which is a mortal one, just prepare for it, and make sure, it's a very good preparation! also shown is comparative imagery overview of Kalutara coastal area pre- and post-tsunami.
