Banana......

I love to eat banana. I grow few banana trees at my house. I need to relocate some of my banana trees to a new location. The current location needs to be transformed to a new project......

Mid Back Pain.....

My mid back pain attacked me again.......and unfortunately....it happened the day I need to go  for a second research proposal defend at the MOHE main office in Putrajaya. But, as I struggled all the way from my house to Putrajaya...it really enjoyable though as our research proposal has been accepted and RM100k was allocated. Alhamdulillah........
But, when I reached Alor Star airport on the 24/10/2011  evening, my wife drove me straight to KMC for my mid back pain treatment......
2 types of painkillers already taken......and really caused me some dizziness.
What is mid back pain anyway?


Mid Back PainMid back pain is not very common, yet it is a very uncomfortable condition. At times you will find there is very little activity you can do without causing pain. This is due to the structures in the area that attribute to your pain. You can read more from here.

A Big day.......Manchester United versus Manchester City

It'll be a great match tomorrow nite. It's a war in Manchester.......
The heat is on as Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Najib, a die-hard supporter of Manchester United invites all supporters to watch the live telecast from his official residence.
I know, Manchester United will have the ability to win the match. The manager, Sir Alex Ferguson will choose the best players for this match. All the best....to Manchester United. Glory, glory Man. United....
However, I won't be able to watch this match because of a  special meeting with VC at 8.00pm tomorrow.....

A short course in Bayview Hotel Penang

I spent three days at Bayview Hotel Penang with my colleague for Pre-Budget Challenge 2012 organised by Students Affairs Department, UUM. Luckily, my assistant really helped me a lot in completing the task.

We've presented the budget, of course with some reductions from the actual amount proposed. I also met my old friend, Mishar Mohamed.....after 11 years.....

A viral infections fever...

My youngest son is recovering well from a viral infections fever. It's an abnormal fever as the temperature started to escalate back after few hours we've given him medication though. That's why we've decided to take him for paediatrician two days ago. The fever started on Friday noon and we thought it's just ordinary fever. The fever became worsen as he couldn't sleep in the night and of course my wife and I also didn't have enough sleep as well ( my wife suffered most.......I guess..)
Luckily, now my son is able to demonstrate back his agility and very active. His cough also shows some improvements. I think...the early symptom of this fever is his cough. We've been to paediatrician to diagnose the level of this cough. Tomorrow will be another appointment with the paediatrician and hopefully my son's will show fully recovery.

It's an examination week!



My eldest son, Along is having his examination this week. As a parent, I feel that it's quite challenging to help him in his revision...and that's why, my wife takes this responsibility. Yes...we've bought him a number of books...particularly few core subjects such as Mathematics, Bahasa Melayu, English and Science. Luckily, for Agama Islam, Jawi & Arabic, we manage to persuade his Al-Quran recital teacher to conduct special session for these subjects.
I hope Along can answer all the questions accordingly and gets an outstanding results......insyaAllah....

Psychotic Depression

One of my student is diagnosed with Psychotic Depression (read more here).


According to the National Institute of Mental Health, a person who is psychotic is out of touch with reality. People with psychosis may hear "voices." Or they may have strange and illogical ideas. For example, they may think that others can hear their thoughts or are trying to harm them. Or they might think they are the President of the United States or some other famous person.

People with psychotic depression may get angry for no apparent reason. Or they may spend a lot of time by themselves or in bed, sleeping during the day and staying awake at night. A person with psychotic depression may neglect appearance by not bathing or changing clothes. Or that person may be hard to talk to. Perhaps he or she barely talks or else says things that make no sense.


So, please take care of your mental health... OK.
