Badan Amal & Kebajikan Alyssa

On 27/9/2010 many reporters (TV1, Astro Awani, Harian Metro, Sinar Harian, Bernama, etc.) were coming to the Taman Tunku Sarina because of the mud flood incident yesterday. The mud flood problem has been given priority by various agencies such as MDKP, DO office, YB office, the developer, etc. It has been reported in the news at 5.00pm and 8.00pm in TV1 national news. More importantly, Badan Amal dan kebajikan Alyssa plays its role to ensure this incident won't happen again....

Mud flood @ Alyssa 26/9/2010

It's been raining heavily for 1/2 hour I think around 6.45pm-7.15pm. Water and mud from the hill side at the back of my neighbours' house were unstoppable. Within few minutes 6 houses were badly damaged.

When Dato' Zaki called me, I joint them few minutes later. We managed to help the victims and cleaned all the affected houses until nearly 12 am....

Reporter from Bernama was there as well to observe and report the incident. This morning, RTM & Harian Metro also visited the site. My deepest condolence to all my friends who were ht]hit by the mud flood.

listening to radio...

I like to listen to the radio when I'm driving to the office every morning. My favorite channel, Sinar FM. The combination of three DJs make the morning session so lively. Kudos to the management. What is your favorite channel?? I used to listen to Hot FM quite some time ago....but now, no more....

Am I too serious??

Today my department's head and I had a short meeting. We've discussed few things.....exam related, ISO audits, class related, etc.
In my opinion, I've given equal treatment to all of my students. Motivate them to work harder, to enlighten their analytical skills, to share the sweet and sour of working life....etc....
Of course, I might be frustrated if they didn't bother my advices.....Sometimes some of them made me nervous and nearly collapsed........
I really hope they change their study style...work in groups, read notes and discuss with friends....I also encourage them to meet regularly, but, some of them still don't even know where is my office, my phone number and email address......
So, to my beloved students, please change your attitude OK.....There were students asked me about myself and my working experiences....and I really glad to share with them....

Finally.....got the email....

It's not easy to get an article to be published in a journal. But, the credit should be given to my mentor and my supervisor Assoc. Prof. T. Ramayah. He really drives me to work harder. He has no hesitation to help students as well.

They need an advice.....regularly

My students will take a simple but quite complicated quiz tomorrow. It's just 20%....not so much for some of them. But, for those who really eager to ensure better grade....a single mark is certainly becomes a priority. I wish them all the best. As I always highlight in my class....."please come and see me if you have problem...." but not many come........
A student from other class surprisingly met me and asked for my advice......I don't have any hesitation to help her of course......giving some valuable motivations to study hard....

Who actually murdered DSL & others?

The recent top rated murder case has brought a very big issue. Whether or not the police has the case to charge the suspects in court. Possibly, so many lawyers are interested to defend all the suspects and the case.....will be postponed...again and again....

Hopefully the justice will be prevailed....

Champs League

A frustrated match...between Man U vs. Rangers. It should be won by Man U. I strongly felt that SAF has made wrong selection of players. Anyway, next Sunday, 19/9/2010 is more important. Man U vs. Liverpool. I have a feeling that Man U will win, 2-0.

Glory, glory Man U

Hari raya 10/9/2010....1431H

It's a great Hari Raya. I've celebrated at my in-laws house. The morning prayers, greetings from friends, relatives and friends visits, traffic jams, etc. were some of the sweet memories of this year Hari Raya....

My brother bought a new Exora, my brother in-law, bought a BMW 525......and I of course, bought Samperit especially for my son, Along. He really likes Samperit very much.

Many incidents also happened......my sister in-law's brother was diagnosed with colon cancer, and needed chemotherapy treatment, a cosmetics millionaire, Datuk Sosilawati and 3 others were brutally murdered and burnt, Penang bridge massive traffic chaos due to TNB's cable caught by fire, highways also jammed terribly, Ops Sikap, teenagers ran away from home during hari raya, etc.

Hope all enjoy this wonderful hari raya peacefully and safely.

A nephew arrived safely....

Alhamdulillah, Boi, or Farid safely arrived at the Alor Setar Airport yesterday at 3.30pm. It's been two years since I last met him, on the day he & Cik Dah departed to Canada. Very warm and enjoyable environment at the airport. Look forward to see...what did he buy for my sons.....

7.4 Richter Scale earthquake in New Zealand

A surprised news today as a strong earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand. No deaths were reported though. I have few friends studying there. I pray for their safety and other Malaysian citizen there as well. Many buildings, schools, power lines, houses etc. were damaged.

An email....

I received emails everyday. I'm happy to read all the emails. Some emails related to works, some personals......and today I got email from Prakash.......took Operations Management Seminar paper last December and currently doing industrial training in KL.

I'm really grateful as my former students still keep in touch with me. Executive diplomas, 1st degrees and Masters students..... Some of them have done very well in their career and family. Some of them read my blog as well. Really proud of them and wish them all the best.

Visit or not to visit??

Those who're already bought flight tickets to Indonesia, might be thinking twice.......whether to go or not to go there. The situation there worsen as everyday anti-Malaysia protests were organised. For me, it's not safe to go there and Malaysian Government should take serious action and advise Malaysian not to visit Indonesia.

National Day....31/8/2010

This year National Day celebration is so special since it's in Ramadan. More interestingly, there were Muslim couples caught by the State Islamic Department in Selangor, Penang and perhaps other states as well. Very sad to see this phenomenon...every National Day celebration, New Year, and 14/2.....many Muslim couples were caught in budget hotels, parks, hostels, flats, etc. and the numbers are growing......what went wrong??
