while i was asleep this morning, i received a call from a singapore phone line. hmm, Ms. Lee from a company named QS-First Pte. so, macam biasalah, i was like, huh? +65919994xx?

Me: ..hello?
Ms Lee: hello. is this Ahmad Siddiq?
Me: (oh shit.. who the hell?) er... sorry. come again? (buat2 tak dengar)
Ms. Lee: hello?
Me: er, sorry. can't barely hear you. the line's not clear.
Ms. Lee: oh okay. in that case, are u at home?
Me: err.. yeah. why?
Ms Lee: I'll call your home line la.
(how the hell she got my home number anyway)

i disconnect the conversation and rush to my phone line to cabut the wire. then i rush to the bilik mandi, basuh muka, gargle abit, etc. she called me back after 5 minutes via my handphone.

Me: Hello Ms Lee.
Ms Lee: Sorry, can't get through your house phone line. is the line clear?
Me: yeah.. kinda (duh~ hehe)
Ms Lee: In this case, we'll talk here la.

hmm. was invited to an interview (again). SORRY~ can't make it :) tomorrow i've class. also, i have to pack things up for the rakan muda camp on from afternoon onwards.


well hello there dear bloggie. i would like to share a pic of me, taken 3 days ago:



hm.. to sum things up, i may have to hold this semester for god's sake. i have a bit of discussion with Ms Intan yesterday, she told me that this is the 3rd week. i can't do anything else then send a letter to the registrar lol. but nevermindla anyway.

this week is the pioneer of me doing some extra socializing skills via... everything! internet, college, petrol station (lol yeah). hmm, change is actually on the track right now :).

earlier this week i was tiba2 invited to times square by a junior. she already bought me a cinema ticket (i forgot to ask which movie it was). how dreadful i am when i was inside. shit, high school musical III WHAT THE **** (fill in the blanks).

aaand, earlier this week also i made mereng accident. haha~ how funny. me, afiq, syahmi and mereng was heading to the new karaoke place. i was in front, and was travelling about 80km/j. suddenly i turned (they know why.. haha). seconds later i heard a plaintiff cry of a young malaysian boy. lol he was right behind me. normally we use peraturan 3 saat, but he used his peraturan 0.5 nanosaat hehe..

oops// wanna makan 1st. can't wait for tonight~

summary of this week:

- i made the very first contact with Adirah since. And god look at how she hates me :)
- i duno. money comes from everywhere.
- being busy doesnt mean that I am that TOO busy (take that, nurul!)
- reformatted my pc from windows xp to vista sp1. my verdict: i favor more vista than xp. xp sucks. vista i laikk. windows 7 *more doools*.
- i met a girl. i liked her. we exchanged msges. then suddenly in day 3, she told me that she liked me, but she already have a boyfriend. how silly i am. but seriously, she remind me of things that i forgot (which is, personal humanitarian crisis hehe). hmm. i have a personal policy: i won't kacau any girlfriends-of-his.
- this week onli i spend about RM50 on topup. and now the baki is RM4.58. creepy huh? xD
- i started, again, playing wolfteam. LOADS of ppl invited me to join their pride. (i have a k/d ratio of 1.80, which is very impressive. one of the fav players in the malaysian server =) )
- my room has turned into a sarang naga. paling bersepah since i ever moved into this house.

haha. bye~ lapaQ

elooo

haihz. so long haven't blog to my sayang over here.

i wont talk anything for now. im trapped in an accidental genjutsu, a crossfire between here and there, tons of paperworks and assignments to finish, lots of things to settle out, a few 'P' (that's what she said) to be taken care of, blabla

So, now I shall share:

Tips to buy Gardenia bread
Check it out.... Gardenia bread Tips on buying Gardenia bread

Here is something interesting........
When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness.

Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week?

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Each day has a different color twist tie.

They are :
Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow (YELLOW)

So if today is Thursday, you would want red twist tie not white which is Fridays. (almost a week old)!

The colors go alphabeti cally by color Blue - Green - Red -White -Yellow, Monday thru Saturday. Very easy to remember.
I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the one with the plastic clips have different colors.

Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

Renungkanlah

Tali gantung yang diimport ini diperbuat dari jenis jut yang paling
bagus dan dibalut dengan kulit lembut supaya tidak mencederakan
kulit banduan yang akan digantung.

Setiap satu berharga di antara RM4,000 satu hingga RM5,000.
Tali gantung ini semasa diterima daripada ejen pembekalnya akan
diuji ketahanannya dengan menggantungkan patung seberat lebih 90
kilo selama 72 jam.

Setiap tali gantung ini mempunyai nombor siri dan ia
diklasifikasikan sebagai senjata dan disimpan di dalam peti besi.

'Setiap tali gantung kita terima ada perkiraannya. Kita tak boleh
poie terus dan pasang, ada cara-cara yang kita kena ikut. Kita ada
empat jenis tali dan kita pilih mengikut berat banduan,' jelas
Samuel.

Di antara ciri utama tali gantung ialah tembaga pembunuh yang
berfungsi untuk mematahkan tengkok banduan.

APABILA RAYUAN DITOLAK

Di Penjara Kajang umpamanya banduan yang dijatuhi hukuman gantung
dikenali sebagai banduan akhir dan ditempatkan di Blok Abadi
sehingga hukuman dilaksanakan.

Mereka ini menghabiskan hampir 23 jam sehari sendirian di sel mereka
dan hanya boleh meninggalkan sel atas kelulusan pegawai yang
bertugas.

Banduan akhir mungkin terpaksa menunggu bertahun-tahun sehingga
habis keseluruhan proses rayuan yang membabitkan Mahkamah Rayuan,
Mahkamah Persekutuan dan Jemaah Pengampunan Negeri.

Sekiranya rayuan kepada Badan Pengampunan ini juga ditolak, Mahkamah
Persekutuan akan mengeluarkan waran untuk melaksanakan hukuman di
mana di dalam waran itu akan disebut nama banduan, nombor kad
pengenalannya serta masa hukuman akan dijalankan iaitu di antara
5.30 pagi hingga 6.30 pagi.

'Kita diberi satu jam untuk laksanakan hukuman. Untuk banduan
beragama Islam biasanya kita akan jalankan hukuman gantung ini pada
hari Jumaat, selepas solat subuh. Bagi yang bukan Islam, waktunya
lebih kurang sama, cuma harinya boleh berbeza,' kata Samuel.

Selepas waran dikeluarkan, banduan akhir akan dibawa berjumpa dengan
pengarah penjara yang akan memaklumkan tentang pelaksanaan hukuman
gantung selepas segala proses rayuan terakhir ditolak.

'Biasanya banduan akhir ini akan tahu apabila dia dibawa keluar
dengan tangan bergari dan ada kawalan ketat, dia tahu keesokan
harinya sesuatu yang buruk akan berlaku (dia akan digantung),' kata
Samuel.

Semasa banduan akhir berada di bilik pengarah ini, kaum keluarganya
yang biasanya sudah dimaklumkan seminggu lebih awal sudah menunggu
di luar penjara untuk 'perjumpaan terakhir.'

Lazimnya suasana dan pilu akan menyelubungi setiap perjumpaan
terakhir ini.

Banduan juga diberi pilihan untuk 'hidangan terakhir' bernilai
RM7.50.

HARI PENGGANTUNGAN

Menurut Samuel, kebanyakan banduan akhir yang menjalani hukuman
gantung 'poie dengan rela' setelah menunggu begitu lamo untuk
hukuman dilaksanakan.

'Mereka yang rajin sembahyang, tak kira agama, menunggu dengan
tenang dan sudah bersedia. Ada beberapa orang sahaja yang menjadi
agresif sehingga ke saat-saat terakhir.

' Ada sesetengah banduan puas hati dan beritahu saya nasib mereka
lebih baik dari saya kerana mereka tahu bila mereka akan mati. Bila
kita buka pintu untuk bawa mereka keluar ke bilik gantung, ada yang
salam dengan kita dan ucap terima kasih. Mereka kata mereka dah tak
tahan lagi menunggu,' katanya.

Di hari mereka diberitahu hukuman gantung akan dijalankan, mereka
akan meminta pena dan kertas untuk nota terakhir.

'Jangan ikut tabiat buruk ayah' antara kata-kata terakhir seorang
banduan untuk anak-anaknya, yang masih Samuel ingat.

Banduan juga boleh memilih pakaian apa yang hendak dipakainya pada
hari hukuman.

' Ada banduan beragama Islam hanya mahu pakai kemeja T dan seluar
sembahyangnya. Ada yang memilih kot dan tali leher. Ada yang pakai
kasut berharga RM300. Mati penuh gaya . Banduan itu kata dengan
jenaka,' cerita Samuel.

Hukuman gantung pula hanya dijalankan selepas semua pihak termasuk
pengarah dan doktor berpuas hati dengan keadaan banduan pada hari
hukuman akan dilaksanakan.

BILA PINTU PERANGKAP RENGGANG

Pintu perangkap di bilik gantung di mana banduan akhir berdiri akan
secara automatik renggang sepenuhnya bila 'gear' ditarik.

Di bawah lantai pintu perangkap ada ruang kosong dengan ketinggian
5.18 meter.

Bunyi pintu perangkap yang terbuka dengan kuatnya memecah kesunyian
suasana penjara.

Menurut Samuel, proses menggantung dari masa banduan dibawa keluar
dari bilik menanti ke bilik gantung dan pengarah memberi isyarat
kepada tukang gantung untuk menarik 'gear' yang akan antaranya
membuka pintu perangkap hanya mengambil masa kira-kira 15 saat.

Semuanya perlu dibuat dengan lancar dan menurut Samuel, kematian
berlaku dalam masa di antara 30 saat hingga satu minit dan banduan
akan diturunkan dan diletak di atas troli selepas setengah jam
dibiar tergantung.

'Saya sering mengingatkan pembantu-pembantu saya supaya menghormati
jenazah kerana dia sudah menjalani hukuman. Kalau kita hormat pada
dia, semuanya tak ada masalah.

'Bagi saya pula, kebiasaannya saya akan pandang muka jenazah ini dan
letakkan tangan saya di atas dadanya. Ini petua yang diberi oleh bos-
bos saya dulu,' kata Samuel.

Menjalankan tugas khas ini memberikan banyak keinsafan kepada Samuel.
Beliau menasihatkan ibu bapa supaya memupuk nilai-nilai murni kepada
anak-anak mereka untuk mengelak mereka terjerumus melakukan jenayah.

'Segala-galanya bermula dari keluarga. Kalau keluarga tak kawal,
lingkup. Dadah, umpamanya, kalau seorang dalam keluarga jadi
penagih, satu keluarga akan terjejas,' katanya sambil menjelaskan
bahawa kebanyakan kes hukuman gantung adalah berkaitan dengan dadah

woot

What a farce, Umno not a bully.

Look at the situation - when Hindraf express the views and problems of a marginalised people, they are thrown in jail and their society is banned from being a legal body.

When one of their own is a racist and utters words of hate and incites violence, he is let off scot-free with just a rap on his knuckles. When RPK speaks the truth, he is arrested and thrown in jail.

Just because of hearsay, a female opposition rep from Pakatan is arrested and put under the ISA.

If this is not intimidation or bullying then I must go back to school to further my education.

Thanks Mr Prime Minister, you are really something else.



Today I'm supposed to go for the interview, but Florence didn't replied back. Maybe shes busy today. She told me yesterday night to wait for her reply before going.

Tomorrow I will be heading Cyberjaya for Microsoft innovaton.day at MMU. Interesting fact that:

SysStream: i'd be more than thankful if u know that place, which is INSIDE YOUR university
syera: hahahhahhaha
syera: alo
syera: x tau la
syera: heheeheheh

p/s: this conversation i had with syera strangely remind me of fatin. there seems to be a similar, parallel universe connection these two linguistic behaviour. deja vu.. sigh.

I was like.. zzzzz.. Does anyone, with a very helpful hand, show me the path to this very building: MSC Technology Commercialization Center, Multimedia University. IE8 sneak preview and MSC PreSeed Programme talk are the most anticipated thing.

So, the interview was postponed to Wednesday.

I wish to blog about yesterday's Alamanda, but I have class at 2.00.

27th - Barcamp Meeting 3 at Johor.

31st - 2nd - Rakan Muda camp.

I could do like. 'takyahla nyorok.. aku tau ko sape?', which sounds more retarded than said.

I've installed Google Analytics and placed my nuffnang ads back for some tracking reason.
From my analysis:

Nuffnang



Visits this week: 21

Lets break it down...



Wow! 10 referral from Zikri's blog.


So, how about Google Analytics?



21 Visits, 37 Pageviews. Lets see...

10 visits from Google Chrome. I can confirm that that's me. 1 visit from Firefox. I duno who use it, maybe the visitor from Ipoh. And, 10 pathetic visits from IE. Well, as far as I know, HUKM's PCs are all IE'ed. I use to hang out at Jabatan Kewangan and their IT room. They all use IE for no reason at all. How bout connection speed? I know, DSL users include me, so I don't mind the figures. Also, I don't mind about the Unknown, because there's no point investigating. What I am intrested is: OC3 (Optical Carrier 3). As far as I know, HUKM also use OC3 for their internet connection.

SysStream: suzu baca blog aku pastu nyorok dgn nickname 'misz' kat tagbox
Khairul Zikri Kamarulzaman: pasti?
SysStream: pasti
SysStream: unless ko yg buat
Khairul Zikri Kamarulzaman: ni last IP suzu dr minggu lepas
Khairul Zikri Kamarulzaman: 61.6.163.21
SysStream: yup mekaseh
SysStream: IP HUKM
Khairul Zikri Kamarulzaman: dia la tu lol
Khairul Zikri Kamarulzaman: xde masa aku nak spam blog kau

Yes, confirmed the IP. Nowonder tracert results is nowhere.

More about 'misz'


Her Internet Explorer usage.


Her kantoi connection.


What's more interesting is:


See the IP?

nono.. don't look at the IP. Look at the time she's replying.

7.45am
7.48am
4.19pm
1.17pm
7.34am
4.02pm
1.04pm

HUKM starts their morning labour session at 8.00am, have a parallel hungry mindset timed at 1.00pm till 2.00pm, and have their own FFA (free-for-all) times starting at 4.00pm. Balik at 4.30pm - 5.00pm.

lol my mom works there.

So, despite all these. I hereby will reveal the identity of this so-called Batman misz.


MyKad Number: -
Name: NUR SUZULIANA BT ABDUL AZIZ
DOB: 10/01/1989
Mom's name: ROKIAH BT ALWI
Mom's MyKad number: -
Address: 8-10-07 PANGSAPURI SEGAR RIA, TAMAN SEGAR, 56100, KL

I will reveal her photos on request.

edit: she called me to remove her MyKad number and her mothers'

This week in photos

This week (or rather, fortnight), explained in pictures as my camera cruise along with my life.

Here I will extract some of the pictures captured by my F400. (lol click on the picture to view the hi-res version)

Yesterday's hiking trip:


The participants: (from left) Imran, Afiq and Wan

After a quite steep 100m hike, Imran was exhausted like never before. And we stopped at each 50m because of Imran's tiredness (WTF I didn't expect this). At one point, he was exhausted gila till he puke out all the things in his stomach. Blaaahhh.. We are forced to take a half-an hour rest for him. In a positive side, the view was breathtaking.


Look at Imran, at our first stop (havent reach the top yet u noe), screaming 'Tired!' at everyone's face.


Afiq's shadowed by the uncertaincy (uncertainty and uncertaincy is a different word izzit?) of the clouds.


Me doing some counselling to Imran at our 4th stop. That's when he puke out for the second (and my god, the very last time).


Imran pointing at the Klang Gate Dam. Beautiful, isn't it?. So.. it's time for him to take our pictures.



and



Haha.. xD

End of hiking trip.


This my friend, is a Teh Tarik and Teh O.


Last week my PC blew up again (!!!!!!!!!). When I was trying to click, it blew up. Kapoof!! with a super bright white explosion on the back of the casing. So, in despair, I fired up my old laptop, just to desperately be online. Meanwhile, I disassemble my PC back to check each and every part of the subsystem what's wrong with it. And, I remembered that the explosion was super bright white. So, I figured out that the victim must be the PSU, because electricity blew up as a blue-ish light.


My laptop. Ha! Ha!

And, lastly.



These, my friend, are photos. Of Puteri. Cute isn't she?

/end of F400.

Unfortunately, I am too lazy to convert the super 7.1 megapixels photos to a mini-sized-so-I-can-upload-the-photos-pretty-easy. Let it rest in peace inside my PC for awhile, till I get my hand on the Windows XP Right Click Image Converter clone in Vista T_T

Today and tomorrow

I am supposed to rush to Johor at 6.00pm for the BarCamp Johor meeting.

I came home @ 5.30pm, rushing to finish things this and that, check air bateri, etc. When I was trying my socks, thats when Raihan msged me via ym.

Then we chatted.

Then suddenly I became so vulnerable to emotional attacks (for a moment). Sheesh.. Being disoriented for a moment + 'ku termenung di jendela bila hujan gerimis senja', I realized the clock is at 6.45pm.

YEEEEEEEEKSS!!! I'm dead.

So what I did was:


Hey..

I'm very, VERY sorry I can't join you guys, my class just finished here at 5.30pm (#$@!@# lecturer). I'll try to make it on the next meeting.
By the way, can someone of you post the summary of the meeting here?. I feel stranded alone here without knowing anything @@

-----

Drag you lecturer along. 

Should be fun.

BTW our friend Steven have spread the word to Informatics and he will do RIMA college and other colleges in 2 weeks time.

Thanks Steven.

-----

Hey siddiq,

The minutes for the 2nd meeting will be posted as a new topic within
this 2 days to keep everyone updated.

Really appreciate your enthusiam and do check out all the topics for
updates.

meow



Yeay I'm looking forward. Thanks everyone!

p/s: sorry raihan. i'll send u an email later

Juz came back from lepak with Afiq, Mereng, Wan & Syahmi. And I noticed that the Maybank tower's logo light isn't workin for tonight. Wierd.


This is me, last night, lepaking like tomorrow dun hav class


I noticed that:

This year, I was in the most ignorant mode ever. I ignored some scores of Gen XX, ranging from a simple misscall/sms to a damn date. I have acheived the most level of hate towards them for this year only.

Yay.

I planned on doing something really stupid end of this year, but I simply can't.

I don't know if I will ever find a girlfriend or not... haha.

9th of October 2008 do you get it?

Thursday, October 09, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Yesterday I've just finished one whole round of quran recital, having my khatam on the night. Ah, I was glad because it took nearly forever to finish. I recite for over 1 or (sometimes) 2 pages each day but last night I do the whole 30th Juzuk at once (because it was not that hard.. muahaha).

So, there you go. I'll take a rest for today, maybe I'll restart reciting on Friday.

I have lots of things to share here, including my boringawesome Raya experience but oh well, I dividing my time spent on PC by a third. I have to catch some things that I've missed lately.

Aaaaaaaaaaand... (nak berlagak ni)


I've bought a new phone!.

Samsung F400. The phone was just awarded this years's Best Music Phone as rated by Mobile Choice Consumer Awards 2008 earlier this month. This super kewl dual-slide phone has a damn nice speaker on top of it

'Audio by Bang & Olufsen ICEpower' (see when the phone slides down, there's a seperate speaker on the top and you can see this on the top of the speaker)

Sweeeeeeeeet!!. Real nice I tell you. Let me list about what I liked about this phone.

- The speaker. Was. Damn. Good.
- Glossiee finieeeesh
- Dual slide
- Now I got the three point five G (so-called HDSPA) technology in my pocket.
- The wallpaper switches, when in morning/afternoon, it shows clear blue sky, at night, it shows dark skies. And the theme is Malaysian-based, it got animated KLCC.
- 320 x 240 screen, same as my former Samsung PDA's.
- Camera quality is really nice. 3.0MP, autofocus, flash. What more could u ask?
- Scrollwheel (basically like the iPod's scroll) instead of boring Sony Ericsson's.
- Real nice keypads.
- A dedicated 3.5mm audio socket (wicked giler!)

But the downside is, I don't have the USB cable. I'm just stuck at transferring files over bluetooth *sigh*

I bought this phone because Raihan said that my old phone looks like what la.



Well, today I went to SMK Cheras after a month's evading them. Everyone was busy moving chairs and tables for the upcoming PMR. The wicked thing is: since the completion of the new block, the school's name has been changed to:

Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tinggi Cheras.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I borrowed a book from UBK (which I realized I forgot where I put the book 5 minutes ago while typing this post), a really good book. I'll rant about it after I've finished working with it nanti.

And the best thing is: I'm getting rid of Adirah's pictures once and for all. Me and Cikgu Haiza went through an unplanned counselling *sigh* earlier today. Johari made a significant contribution to my decision as well, telling how Adirah was since she got into that place. He told me about her, about that, this and that, that and this and that.. and I was like, oh shit.. she's messed like what la..

And she asked me to drive her car @ Sunday to pick the Form 4 juniors for her open house.

And I met with Puteri today. God how cute she is.

And I declined the Melaka trip. I have so much things to do.



now where did I put that book....

Love

Monday, October 06, 2008 at 4:11 pm
I had some experience dealing with love. In summary, I think the most best part of love is: patience. I don't mind people jerking around with their girlfriends, holding hands like nothing is wrong with their life. I (semi) don't mind if my parents tease me with every sarcasm available to label me as a single-rider.

I really like, really really like, being so calm and patience while waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise. I don't really rush into things, especially with the subject of love.

Love and emotion hook to your everyday's judgement. I really hate when I was doing things, suddenly my mind drifts away from reality, thinking about this and that particular cloud of life.

Despite the retardedness of my friends being so damn playboy, I decided not to join them. This is my personal decision, so virtually there's no logical reasonable explanation to that.

With the recent chapter of love, I learnt that I shouldn't really jump to the ship straight away without hesitating. Sometimes when I was doing nothing, she reminds me of me being not me, because what I did was straight from my clouded judgement, feeling so naive and distracted with all of these kind of things, feelings that there's a void space in my life. Sheesh..

I'm very comfortable being alone in things, but in some very rare cases, I feel stranded alone in my own horizon of life. I do really believe in patience. Taken from a ceramah I participated in the Ramadhan:


Kesabaran itu harus meliputi empat tindakan, iaitu:
- tabah dan tekun dalam mengerjakan taat atau ibadat kepada Allah;
- menahan diri daripada melakukan maksiat atau kemungkaran;
- memelihara diri daripada dipukau oleh godaan dunia, nafsu dan syaitan;
- tenang/teguh hati menghadapi cubaan atau musibah.

Sabar yang demikian itu adalah suatu tuntutan dalam agama dan merupakan satu ibadah, malah segala ibadat itu didirikan di atas sabar, kerana dalam mengerjakan ibadat itu kita terpaksa menanggung kepayahan dan pengorbanan.

Malah, dalam segala lapangan, kita perlu bersabar dan menangani segala kesukaran dan rintangan yang dihadapi. Orang yang gagal bersabar tidak akan tercapai matlamat dan manfaat ibadatnya.

Kesabaran itu merupakan ubat yang paling pahit tetapi paling mujarab :)
