tell me what do u know about feng shui?
none?
a little?
or a lot?!

me? honestly, none~ but i always want to know about this. ok. i'm not kinda person who believe in it. it just.. something new to me =)

feng shui~ taken from labmate

our old 'tong air feng shui' had been upgraded to more elegant, stylish, vase (boleh classified it as a vase?! whatever)

so, what should we do with is?

put gold fish and feed them everyday?
put in those spa fish n do the hand spa~
put in some lotus flower?
do meditation everyday instead of exercise?
holding hands around it and make our 'doa' (the larger the circle, the better!)

any wish?

ok. lets review~

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to use the laws of both Heaven (Chinese astronomy) and Earth to help one improve life by receiving positive qi. Qi is a movable positive or negative life force which plays an essential role in feng shui. The goal of feng shui as practiced today is to situate the human built environment on spots with good qi. The "perfect spot" is a location and an axis in time.  (resourse:wiki)

since i'm surrounded by wonderful chinese labmates n friends, it is fun to learn more about their culture.

*bukan ke kita 1 Malaysia?*

*wink*wink

this is my job =)

i used to envy a wine tester (ok. of course this is NOT my job~!) A wine tester can differentiate the sweetness o bitterness of the wine. and some of them can even determine which year the wine was made. how great!

Wine testing is the sensory examination and evaluation of wine. The results of the four recognized stages to wine tasting:

• appearance
• "in glass" the aroma of the wine
• "in mouth" sensations
• "finish" (aftertaste)

Same goes as my job~ i have to taste each sample product n even the raw materials. especially when there was any sample problem. all of us including the assistant manager have to taste and give their opinion about what we taste. either it is weaker, sour, salty, etc~ not to mention my assistant manager is so great until she can even state what is wrong with the sample.. n even a different raw material added.

chocolate cake blind test

this was the blind test. actually we had a customer complaint.. said that our product had different taste. so, we carried out a blind test. each and everyone of us need to taste the CHOCOLATE cake and tell the different. either it is weaker, or more bitter, o more 'chocolate', o any word which can describe the taste~

the blind test

pic above: both left n right ladies are the examiners (they know the answer).. and the middle is my labmate (in this case, the tester) ~ plz ignore all those purple sample and bottle on the table. those for colour checking~

actually one of the cake was control (only colouring). one had more bitter taste. and another 1 had sweet taste.

when it comes to the CEO (since the complaint came from one of our big client so he also need to taste) and the answer was = there are no much different. and all taste are almost the same.

grr~after almost of half and hour critically gve opinion for tasting~

*i will miss my job. and all my bosses!*

my favourite

i kept this poem for a very long time... about 8 years... to make me strong.to calm me down~

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are -
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

this is a GOODBYE :-*

To my dearest brother, Hakim...

jaga diri bila ade kat tempat orang... we will miss u..


6 years ago when we sent you to boarding school, we didn't cry coz we know we will meet again every week.. or at least every months.. i know ibu org yang paling sedih bila tengok hakim pergi.. and i knew u took a few minutes in the toilet to calm down... and only go out at 1.00 pm which was time for you to go~

Lebih sebulan ibu tahan air mata tp hari tu air mata ibu gugur gak... ibu tahu hari ni akan berlaku gak bila hakim habis foundation kt Uniten bulan 5 hari tu...

I knew u had a very miserable day 1 day before your departure.. Rumah yang Hakim nak sewa kat sana tu tiba2 tuan rumah dah sewakan kat orang lain.. kawan yang nak duduk sekali tu pergi lewat seminggu, which mean u will be alone for a week.. n u lost your IC masa tukar duit kat bank..

Whatever it is, kami doakan Hakim dapat sesuaikan diri kt sana, dimudahkan segala urusan... all the best. n InsyaAllah kte jumpa 2 tahun lg k. Love u ~

the 2 hours interview

hari ni ambil cuti coz nk settle untuk smbung study.
(adekah ni pilihan yg aku buat??) ~ insyaAllah...

dari pagi siapkan proposal... ftostat n print pape yg patut.. part yg x sttle adelah mncari 2 org referee... hohoho.. g kt fakulti n terjumpa timbalan dekan.. berharap beliau boleh jd referee,... aku pun branikan diri tuk jumpa..

aku pun tak sangka akan ambil mase sampai 2 jam kat bilik Dr. semua soaln yang dalam evaluation form tu dia tanya.
these are a few things yang aku dapat dalam masa 2 jam tu~

# tak kira busy macam mana kerja, buatlah 'perniagaan' dengan Allah especially dalam bulan Ramadhan
# tak kira busy macam mana life sekarang, ambil masa untuk libatkan diri dengan masyarakat.. any organisation, or volunteer services... it will built our character, organisatuon skill, communicatuon skill, etc...
# how do u say u have intellectual thinkng? bace paper. bace buku. internet. n AMBIL TAHU! grrr..  (ok mayb aku terlalu busy ngn idup... x ade mase tuk semua tu... but i have to)

~ setiap orang yang kita jumpa akan meninggalkan kesan pada diri kita.. terpulang pada diri sendiri untuk ambil pengajaran or nilai2 dari orang tersebut ~

CHOOSING is not that SIMPLE... LIFE is not that EASY

n again... bt ke sekian kalinya aku was-was dgn pilihan d depan mata...

atau adekah ak ni jenis yg ade masalah mmbuat kputusan? errr.. maybe...

at the age of 24~ ape yg aku dh capai?

masuk u? ---- check!
dapat ijazah? ---- check!
bekerja? ---- check!
buat master smbil bekerja? ---- err.. almost~ bln oct ni insyaAllah grad.. ok check!

mn hala tuju slepas ni?
Phd? owh x semudah utk pilih YES o NO~

tggl 1 mngu tuk submit application tuk smbung  Phd.. tp blom ad kputusan yg d bt...

yg sbetulnye.. ak syg nk brenti kje... smntara smbung phd 3 thn (at least!) klau terus kje, ak dh jd senior exec. grrr...

*masih terdiam tnpa jawapan*
