Final Year Dilemma and Spain as Champion for World Cup 2010

izzat ruslan — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 02:07:49 +0000

Salam and hello everyone. Sorry for not updating this blog recently, even after my industrial training is already done. Well, I still need to prepare my report and presentation for my industrial training; and all these have done yesterday. Anyway, completing industrial training means require me to be ready for the next usual task for final year student, FINAL YEAR PROJECT. Yes, I’m in final year now and if everything is going smooth, hopefully I’ll be graduating next April. This is the simple video that I have prepared for my industrial training presentation. Actually, it is a last minute video. Haha.

Thinking about FYP, I still don’t have any idea, topic or title to propose. It should be started with identifying problem first, then come out with several option of solutions to solve the problem. Hmmm.. I’m still thinking, or do you have any idea about what should I do for my FYP as a student of Electronic and Communication Engineering? Hehe.

Ok, let’s put aside about FYP for a while and talk about something everyone would talk today, World Cup 2010. I know about the final match between Netherlands and Spain early this morning, and I’m happy to tell you that I didn’t watch the match. Hahaha. I was planning to watch it at first, but due to unexpected headache I had last night, I rather went to sleep and get myself comfortable on my bed. Well, I woke up this morning with fresh and saw most of my friends in Facebook updating about the last match result. Owh, Spain has won the World Cup 2010! Congratulation for those Spain’s supporters. Anyway, that’s it, and that’s the end. Okay, how many of you requesting for MC today? Thanks God, all my lectures for today have been cancelled. Uniten even organised a carnival for this World Cup final and live match telecast. I’m sure most of the students are still sleeping right now. Hehe.

Anyway, I’m not going to write a long entry. I’ll be updating again when I have free time. Well, it’s final year, what do you expect? Hehe.

p/s: I got notification regarding inaccessible problem to this blog, do you experience it? Please let me know. I got notification last night that this blog was down for 16 hours! I’m not sure what was happening, maybe I need to consult with Sam from Serverfreak about this problem since this blog has been moved to new server recently.

Happy Father’s Day!

izzat ruslan — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 09:11:13 +0000

Salam and hello everyone. This is just a quick entry and just to wish my dad (if my dad knows about my blog, but I don’t think so) “Happy Father’s Day!”. Owh, forgot to mention other fathers from all over the world and me as future father, Happy Father’s Day. Hahaha! I know, I know. The time will come and just wait for it ya! *Calon isteri pun takde! ^_^*

Okay, that’s all for this time. Until next entry, bye!

p/s: While writing this entry, I’m typing a sms to my dad (I know my dad is a kind of busy person, even during weekend, I think sms will help). “Happy Father’s Day, abah! Thanks for everything and love you.” – send.
p/p/s: Industrial training is going to end this Friday. Hoho, can’t wait to go back to my hometown.

It’s South Africa FIFA World Cup 2010! Are You In World Cup Fever Too?

izzat ruslan — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 05:17:52 +0000

Salam and hello everyone. It has been a long time this blog is not updated since my last entry. Anyway, maybe I can continue blogging and writing as usual after this as my industrial training is going to end in the next 2 weeks. Huh, time is moving really fast and I’m going to step into my final year of my studies this July. A bit excited about what I’m going to face in my final year, but whatever it is I hope it will going as smooth as planned. Even it was never planned. Well, let’s talk about it in details later.

Ok, it’s June 2010 now and South Africa FIFA World Cup 2010 has started since last Friday. Of course some of us will make caffeine as their best friend for the next few weeks, so that they can ‘record’ every moments, every goals and every seconds of their favourite teams’ matches. Well, this is the most awaited sport event once in four years and this is the time too see which team is the best among the best. So, which team you bet to win this year South Africa FIFA World Cup 2010? South Africa? England? Argentina? Brazil? Italy?

I don’t have any favourite team in my mind, but I love to watch Argentina plays soccer, a team with a very well organised formation. Have you watched their first match against Nigeria? The first team too to get first 3 points in their group. Anyway, South Korea also has played really well against Greece with 2 goals. A good start of motivation for South Korea.

So, let’s see who is going to win this South Africa FIFA World Cup 2010 and enjoy the games. Those who are not interested in soccer, just watch it. Hahaha!

p/s: We’re on the ball!

A Month of No Update: Blogging vs. Busy Life

izzat ruslan — Sun, 16 May 2010 02:06:04 +0000

Salam and hello everyone. First of all, I’m still alive! Well, I’m really sorry since there was no update about a month from this blog and even the messages in the shoutbox also were not replied. I’m sorry again. The reason behind this is only one, TIME. In the last few weeks, I don’t have enough time for me to sit in front of my laptop, tapping my fingers on the keyboard, wording out what is in my head and even having a great hours of rest. As I have mentioned in my previous entry which is about a month ago, I’m currently undergoing industrial training until 25 June 2010 as part of my degree program and this industrial training which at first I was expecting a kind of relaxing period of studying time is totally wrong. Working from 8.30 am to 6.00 pm on weekdays and sometimes need to do overtime work until 11.00 pm is what I have went through in the past few weeks. Last Friday is my latest overtime work until 10.00 pm at KLCC and working for 11 hours was really tiring, but that is what I have to go through as a service engineer trainee. Clients only want the job done, and we as service engineer is the one that need to think, analyse, troubleshoot and solve the problems and get the job done in the given period of time.

Maintaining an industrial training blog also is part of my industrial training course and this industrial training blog also is not updated to the latest date. Weekend is the only time for me to have a proper rest time and updating this blog, but I have also need to write and submit a weekly job report to my host supervisor, who also an assistant manager of Service and Maintenance department. Now, priority is coming. I need to prioritize what is more important and put aside anything which is less important.

So, for those who are asking me why I’m not updating this blog and where I’m going, I hope your questions are answered. I know there are several entries that I should already be posted here, but because of this, I have to postpone it until unknown date. Well, I hope you understand. Anyway, if you have Twitter account, you can follow me via Twitter for my latest updates. Even I’m not updating Twitter as frequent as before, but I’ll be there sometimes. For those who have left comments here, I’m sorry if I unable to reply those comments now and I promise will reply it once I have my free time.

So, that is all for now. Until next entry. Thank you for visiting my blog and bye for now.

p/s: Happy Teacher’s Day!

April and A Beginning to New Challenge

izzat ruslan — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 15:57:02 +0000

Salam and hello everyone. Sorry, I still not able to reply all of your comments. But, I’m facing something weird with this blog currently. Starting from 1st April 2010, this blog traffic going down drastically from hundreds uniques visitors daily to less than 20 uniques visitors daily. I don’t know what is happening. I’ve checked hosting server status, it is running without any down time since 1st April 2010. It is ridiculous the traffic is going down like that in less than a day. More weird is that, it is starting from 1st April until today. Seriously, it make me crazy to think about it. Don’t tell me this is a kind of April Fool jokes. Huhu. See the screenshot for details.

Seriously, this is really weird for me. Looks like my blog main source of traffic, which is most of it from search engine; is gone. Do you have any ideas how this thing could happen? If before this I have not updated this blog about weeks, but still, the traffic still okay, around 30-40 uniques visitors daily, but this time, I can’t figure out what’s the problem. Either the problem is from this blog or really from the visitors itself. You think?

I have compared this blog’s traffic with several others traffic analytic tools, such as Nuffnang and Awstats. The result is quiet the same. These results drive me crazy to think how this could happen.

————————————————

Anyway, put aside about this blog traffic. April is coming, and this mean I have to be ready for my new upcoming challenge. Starting this upcoming 5th April 2010, I’m going to undergo industrial training as a requirement for my degree program. Check out my official industrial training online diary at doit.izzatruslan.com for details and daily or weekly updates during my industrial training period. Owh, forgot to mention, my industrial training is starting from 5th April 2010 until 25th June 2010, which is about 12 weeks. Some may say it is too short. Yes, it is. Three months is considered too short if compared to other universities, such as UTP which their industrial training is about 8 months. Anyway, three months is the minimum period of time for industrial training required by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia and UNITEN has decided to go with this minimum period of time for industrial training. Well, nothing much to say, just do it!

Okay, that’s all for now. If you have any ideas what is the reason behind this drastic drop of traffic to this blog, please let me know.

Official SPM 2009 Result this Thursday, 11 March 2010 – All the Best to All Former Form 5 Students

izzat ruslan — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 04:37:42 +0000

Salam and hello all. This is just a quick update as I’m now in a situation where I have to sit in front of my laptop, completing assignments and projects that need to be finished as soon as possible since my final exam is just around the corner. 2 more weeks to go!

Anyway, this is just what I call it, a stress management activity. Whenever I can’t focus on my work, doing something differently from what you’ve to do may fresh you up from your work’s stress. Well, this is me. I don’t know you. Whatever it is, stress management is a must.

Okay, back to the title, I’m not trying to spread out the news since it was already circulating around the internet or maybe in the tv channels already. Well, just to wish all former form 5 students, including one of my sisters, all the best for your upcoming SPM result. Hopefully the efforts that you’ve given before is pay off. Well, don’t simply put SPM is everything, don’t think if you can’t score excellently in SPM you can’t success later. You are wrong if you think that way. You still have a lot of chances and rooms to improve and achieve success. SPM is just one of levels you need to face in order to achieve success, but doesn’t mean you can’t move forward if you can’t make it. I’m saying this because I don’t want to hear another suicide case of student due to failure in SPM like last time. Parents should be more supportive in this matter, don’t judge SPM is everything. Just believe in your sons and daughters that they have done all the best on their side. Whatever result is come out, this is what your sons or daughters have done in their full effort.

Okay, that is all for now. Need to continue with my work. Until next entry, bye!

p/s:To my sister, Acik, all the best with your SPM result.

Boring Weekend? Some Cuteness May Chill You Out

izzat ruslan — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 15:49:09 +0000

Salam and hello everyone. I think this blog is going into hibernation mode soon, maybe in the next few weeks or next few days. Well, I don’t know. It seems I have several important tasks which are still not yet finish in my first priority scheduled tasks. Even the dateline is not so soon, but I’ve not started any of it yet. So, as the result, I have to focus on my assignments and projects first, and maybe will write some entries here if I get some chances to do so. Well, several entries may come out later as scheduled-to-post entry. Just wait.

Anyway, back to title. How was your weekend so far? Ok, please take note that this is the first time ever I’ve asked you about your weekend in this blog. Well, actually I don’t have any ideas of what to write. Ok, ok, it is not I don’t have ideas of what to write, but I don’t want to write something that I consider as heavy entry which means, something that I’ve to read something to write about something. Something that I need to think carefully before I think to write about it. Ok, forget about it. I don’t want to drag this entry into a long entry.

Anyway, I don’t know if the following videos may chill you out or not, but at least these videos make me smile and laugh. Well, just enjoy the videos, hopefully it may chill you a bit this weekend. Well, sorry I don’t have money to bring you to cinema for movies, pay you for karaoke or maybe bring you all the way to Genting Highland and have a ride on that I-will-never-ride roller coaster to chill you out, but I hope this free-to-watch video from this big-free-online-cinema-on-the-internet, Youtube may chill you out during this weekend. Ok? Have fun and enjoy. Let me know what you think about this video or maybe about this unplanned entry. (Unplanned because it was unplanned)

Ok, hopefully these videos may chill you out a bit this weekend. Anyway, happy weekend ya! Stay tuned!

Opening Entry for The New Year of 2010

izzat ruslan — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 11:54:08 +0000

Salam and hello everyone. I think it is not too late for me to wish you all Happy New Year 2010 even today is already third day of new year. Well, usually in the beginning of new year, some of us will review back what they had in the past year and at the same time come out with new resolutions, targets and changes to be achieved by the end of this year.

So, in this entry, I’m going to write a review about what I had for last year, 2009. Either my resolutions I’ve set for 2009 achieved or not, still on going or otherwise. Even some of us said resolutions or targets not only to be set annually, but should be set every day; in my personal opinion, it’s depend on what kind of targets or resolution you want to achieve. For me, targets or resolutions can be divided into 2 types; long-term and short-term. The short-term targets might be suitable to be set every day, means your target for today or for this week or for this month. Something easy to achieve for a short period of time. For example, wake up early every day. Targets or resolutions such as buy a car or getting a new position as project manager probably are suitable to be categorized under long-term targets which it takes a longer time to be achieved. Well, it’ll depend on how you look at your target. Some people think wake up early in the morning is a hard thing to do every day and will take a longer time to get familiar with the routine, but some other people think it is an easy thing to achieve. Whatever it is, life needs target or resolution. So that we know where we are heading to. Agree with me?

First, I’m going to review back my last year resolutions whether they have been achieved or not. Based on this entry which I have written last year, let’s see whether they have been achieved or not.

Since I’ve achieved my first resolution of 2008, so for 2009, my first resolution is to maintain it and keep improving.

Improve more on my English writing and speaking skills. Hence, this blog will be the main platform in term of practicing my writing skills. I know there are some readers out there that really care about my blog writing quality, so I’ll try to improve it as I could.

Create and design my own WordPress theme from scratch. Haha, this also will be my resolution because I hate whenever I can’t edit and alter certain WordPress theme that I like because I don’t understand how the designer coded the theme. Hence, I’ll learn to code it by myself so, I’ll understand each part of the theme.

In short, the result is:

Fail! Due to 1 semester which I’ve failed to maintain, my CGPA was dropped below 3.0 about 0.03. I need to work harder this year so that I can level up my CGPA back to 3.0 and above.
How do I evaluate this? Well, I think I’m still improving and learning.
Still on going and working on it. Maybe there will be major transformation for this blog soon. But yet to know when the transformation will happen. Stay tuned.

All in all, I’m still working on to achieve last year resolutions. Means, I’ll keep last year resolutions into this year and working on it. Next is about my wish-list I had last year.

DSLR camera – Since I’ve used my prosumer camera Olympus SP550uz for about one year plus and already found the camera limitation, I think this will be the right time to move into DSLR world. But, since money is the problem now, I’ll keep this into my wish-list.

Have a vacation with my family to Bali, Indonesia – Since last time it wasn’t with my family, so I wish this year we can go altogether with all family members. Why Bali? Because it is an amazing and beautiful place for vacation. Hoho. Ok, ok.. I don’t mind, any other places is ok but the main thing is, with all family members.

In short, the result is:

Yes! I got my first DSLR about 3 months ago. You can check out this entry. Well, I need to thank you to my dad because supporting my hobby.
Still don’t have chances to have a family trip last year because we don’t have time where all of family members are at home. Sometimes during my holiday, my other two sisters at school. Sometimes when all of my siblings are at home, my dad is going to busy with his business (usually at the end of the year). Haih.. I hope this year we all can have a trip to somewhere.

Well, as you can see. There are some of my resolutions and wish-list are not accomplish and I need to work on it so that it can be accomplished. So, do I need new resolutions for this year? I think it would be better if I keep working on my not accomplish resolutions from last year. So, do you have set your new resolutions or keep working on last year resolutions? How to set your resolutions? Read this entry for guidance, it might help you. But for wish-list, I think I need something to replace my old-poor-battery-life-and-full-of-scratch SE K550i phone with something factory smell, nice with build-in QWERTY keyboard and WIFI enabled phone. Blackberry? Hoho. 3G? I don’t think I need that. Haha!

So, I think I’m going to stop here for this time. I will write again later with some updates. Stay tuned!

p/s: If I’m going to do a blog contest, what kind of prizes you want? Give me your suggestion, but keep it reasonable. Ok? Haha!

Last Entry For 2009

izzat ruslan — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:58:22 +0000

Salam and hello everyone. Before we are going into the new year of 2010, I would like to write this last entry for 2009; even, actually, there is nothing in my mind right now what I’m going to write. Maybe this is just because of many bloggers out there write their last entry for 2009, well, maybe I’m the one who follow their trend.

I know about few months ago, I was not frequently blogging like before. This is because of pack time schedule I had every week and month, but I’ll try to spend some time to write here and will try to cater this blog subscribers (and also my Malay blog readers) with some information and updates.

Well, this is just another quick update or close entry for 2009 and I hope you guys had a lot of amazing 2009 memories to be remembered. For those who are going out for watching fireworks, I hope you enjoy yourself with that spectacular fireworks. And me, is still thinking what to do tonight. Haha!

Ok, until next entry. Bye! See you next year with all new resolutions, new day and new hopes.

p/s: I might be heading to Cyberjaya tonight. Still don’t have any idea of what to do.haha!
