Dear all, 1000 apologies for not updating this blog as I was very busy with my daily routines.

A Visit by Guru of Mobile Learning

2008-12-01T18:22:00.005+08:00

Today's posting is about one event; A Visit of Mobile Learning Guru to UKM. As you all know, Prof Ally from The University of Canada has visited UKM last month. During his excursion to UKM, he was invited to give talk and seminar for students and lecturers about M-Learning. What is M-Learning? M-Learning refers to Mobile Learning in which it focuses on mobile; handy; 24/7 learning. Learning nowadays take place wherever you are, at anytime, anywhere, anyhow. For this reason, I was entrusted to make one multimedia presentation for E-Community Research Center, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanity to be presented during "A Welcoming Dinner with Prof Ally" held at Cyberjaya Lodge Resort. Layout above shows the backdrop of the event. The concept of the design is simple, to show the heritage of Malaysia. I used batik paintings motives with carved elements of Malay tradition. Simple isnt it? Hahaha, different people different perspectives. Unfortunately, we could not set up the LCD for the multimedia presentation because the cafe doesnt allow us to do so. In order to remain the backdrop, I will personally place it in my blog for public viewing. Till then, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Double confusion of Profession???

2008-11-13T18:58:00.003+08:00

Dear bloggers aka friends, I am really sorry for not updating my blog as I was very busy nowadays arranging and managing all sorts of works. As you can see from my blog's banner, I havent had time to replace with the brand new design (actually the design is ready but due to time constrain, it has moved my ultimate attention; which is to change the banner; Hari Raya has "left us" kan), hahaha. Today I got one phone call from one university, and guess what??? I was offered to be a lecturer, and now I am totally in blues, thinking of my life, my career and also my studies. At this moment of writing, I am downloading mp3s from the net, i. What a wonderfull world, ii. Somewhere over the rainbow, iii. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, iv. BeeGees - Words. These songs really put me in my comfort zone, it brings me back to my "good old-days" when I was young, I really missed that!!! Hey its Maghrib's prayer and I need to perform my prayer, Got to go, till then, SHAHRUL RIDZUAN ARSHAD.

Fever Feat Flu...help me

2008-10-13T20:39:00.005+08:00

Dear bloggers aka dearest friends, today I would like to express my thought for being "not well" after several attacks from cold, sinus and flu. The so-called "team-mate" made my life vulnerable. I cant live like this, with the running nose, watery-eyes, itchy, and more. But I have taken several prevention actions; what else? see the doctor la, My dearest friend says (she is always sulking with me about ------; who else? Angelita-the-disguised-angel) that an apple a day keeps the doctor away? Am I right with the proverb? Hahahaha, what ever la, as long as I am happy...I went to the pharmacy and they gave me pills - "ezette", if I am not mistaken la. After taken the pil, my nerves were slowly relief, no more headache, no more running nose, no more watery-eyes, and etc. Alhamdullillah, it has cheer up my life back to normal. OK, lets turn the page to the next page, which is about my dearest and lovely friends. I start with Farah. Farah as you all know is Farah right? Hahaha, she is now the senior aka superior officer at UKM and now she is handling one big project from Perak.,ok that's it. Move on to the next person which is Beng (Sook Beng; I dont know her nick at her college that her students used to call her with cantonese name, I think Sook Mun, but I would rather call her Beng only, nice name kan? Eh Beng, do you still remember the incident where my car suddenly out of petrol near Dectar? So funny right? Thankful Umi came and took us to the school, else I will be forever-blamed for not taking her to ELA exam, hahaha). Beng is now working as a lecturer, same as Alwani, William and others. To Beng, I am very proud of your artwork of "Kad Hari Raya", you have managed to design your own card without buzzing me, but you have buzzing William to help you at the end kan? OK, besides Beng, her best-ever-friend is Alwani. Alwani is also a lecturer at Kedah, to date, no more sms-es or calls from her, may be she is busy with her career, I hope you are doing ok and I pray your happines with your own "Prince of Cinta-Antara-Benua", hahaha, joking ok...Enough with that, lets continue with my dearest angelina-the-disguised-angel; she is always be my-"step" mother, my "step-by step-sister" and forever friend, eventhough she is so garang, but she always keep my day brighter; remember G, who ever gets the PhD and the title of Dato first, he or she MUST treat the "opponent" with the equal value of his/her achievements, still remember our "10-comandments"? hahaha, its now my time to go to bed as I am having a great flu ever, and remember I will tell you guys later about the rest of my friends; ELS Friends...thats all folks!!! Till then, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad...

2008-07-10T19:43:00.007+08:00

Dear friends, today's posting is about my experience excursing through the land beyond the land; Pulau Indah located at West Port Malaysia. It was very hilarious and fascinating to be there, enjoying the panorama of the west of Malaysia. All the shipping and logistics bizz were done there. From the Control Tower, you can see the whole land and island surroundings it. Magnificent!!! In fact, ship, cargoes, lorries, RTGs, and many more mechanical machines available here as this is the "Welcome Gate" of Malaysia. The experience was so remarkable. Worth to be there; learning something new in my life; means that off from computer. hahaha...OK then, regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad

Bulk of Portals

2008-06-18T10:56:00.002+08:00

The title shows you how many portals I have developed so far right? hahaha, portals portals and portals; for private companies, high status of companies. Anyway, just wanna share with you guys about me. OK then, wanna continue my work now...blog later. Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Work, work and work...

2008-06-16T08:07:00.002+08:00

Dear friends, today's posting is about "work, work and work". It just a simple phrase but the burden of the beholder is really huge. Anyway I really enjoyed my work and it really suits me working in IT profession, plus some administration and marketing jobs. Day by day I developed portals, designed brochures, flyers and etc. But I am still learning on how to develop effective design because in corporate industry, everything must be consistent and fit the minimalist concept. It is because every seconds and minutes are counted as money and loosing money is a failure to you and your company as well. Luckily I learned this quickly, i.e., do not waste the time you have, use the time effectively. Till then, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad. Got to go, remember to work hard and smart!!!

Wonders at Homie Momie...

2008-06-09T12:11:00.002+08:00

Did the title give you the impression of me? Hahaha...This time around I was posted to the new office; working on the new research, cant tell you guys, its still PNC. I was working on the portal development project for a week and successfully delivered and presented it to my respected bosses, and guess what? They liked it very much and I was like, Oh my god, they really like what I did...and this has motivated me to do more creative thingy in the future. However, I was stranded alone at the office, no friends at all to chat, hang out, and etc. Life without friends are meaningless. I bet you can live without friends around you. Hahaha, I really missed my friends at Ekom and UKM. OK then, its lunch time and I wana go out with my mom to have our lunch. Till then, Best regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

New World with New Environment

2008-06-01T19:16:00.003+08:00

Today and last week was full of hectic business I ever had. Why? I need to move out from my college and I have to find a new place for me to park in. Where to park? Got one place, but I never explore it. Some says its ok, some says it is creepy, but life must go on, live life to the fullest. This transition of my life made me thinking of me few years ago, when I was a kid, school student, and child full of love. I missed that moment and I wish I could go back to my early age, wishing to things that could not happen. hahaha, and now I have to settle things before going to work at port. OK la, its maghrib now, wana perform Maghrib prayer. Till then, regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

The Journey to Northward

2008-05-21T09:43:00.002+08:00

It was very damn frenzied experience to go back to my hometown as everything went terribly disorganized. It started when the LRT from Bandar Tasik Selatan was in testing run for three times in consecutively. It wasted my time for 30 minutes. The phrase “technology comes handy” can’t be applied anymore as my TNG card didn’t work for the third time; I was like mad and ashamed because everyone stuck just because of me, and I resorted to the front desk and the fellow solved my problem; alhamdulliah. Moral of the story is; prepare yourself before doing something. In Malay, they said “Sediakan payung sebelum hujan”. Hahaha, it same goes for me, must buy the ticket before going back to my hometown. Anyway, I arrived in Ipoh safely at 230pm-departed at 12pm (from Pudu), the driver drove the bus so slow-60-80kmh. can u imagine how slow the bus is? Slow isn’t it? Besides that, I didn’t tell my boss that I want to go back to Ipoh, hehehe, I just text her this morning, and she responded no problem and asked me when I will be back in action, as the portal to be submitted to VC is not done yet. The VC will bring UKM’s name and introduce UKM to the externals, oversea I think. Actually the portal is ready, but still waiting to be approved by my boss; in terms of the contents and information. OK la, that’s it, I will be back on Tuesday next week. Aha, before that, I would like to thank my beloved and respected lecturer for the gift, it was so nice and marvelous!!! Thank you very much. Not forgotten to all teachers around the world, Happy Teacher’s Day!!! I value and appreciate the “teacher-ship” forever. Thank you for your taught and guidance throughout my studies. Till then, regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Yahoo

2008-05-14T22:23:00.005+08:00

Yahoo...At last...Im free of all hassle of assignments and projects as a student. However, the work awaiting for me is in bulk, meaning that so many projects and paper works to be done. Again, I have chosen to present a paper on my field; I have four paper to present on behalf UKM, all are e-based (to be discussed with my boss). Today, I, Umi and Datin went to MICELT conference at Seremban, presenting a paper on the use of technology in ELT; discussing on the access, adoption and value. The paper presented by Datin Dr Norizan touched the issues on the usage and implementation of Telecenters in Malaysia, eh I cant tell any further about this, this is PNC. If you are interested on this matter, please call 03-8921 4352 or visit www.ukm.my/ekomuniti. Hahaha, am promoting my expertise here. OK, forget about it, now I would like to tell events that I've attended few weeks ago. Recently, I and my research team participated in ITEX08 and has won a Bronze Medal on our research product. I was so happy with the achievement even though my contribution to the research-so called "little". During the ITEX08 competition, I've met many people ranging from education-based to business-oriented people in Malaysia and also Non-Malaysia; this however has transformed me to be an outspoken person to explain about my research product as UKM is well-known as Research University to date. Was so tired with the exhibition, but me and my colleague were enjoyed to the max, you know why? Hahaha, after the exhibition, we went to KLCC and spent time there, hanging out and chit-chatting, what else to do other than that ha? We were also enjoyed the moment with our researchers and lecturers as well, Dr Supyan, En Zaki, En Yuriny, and other UKM officers. Dr Supyan was so kind, he took us from FSSK to KLCC, and during the journey, he told us about his experience, I was tremendously eager to know, as I had heard the story from him many times, but we enjoyed listening to his experience, and I suggested to him that he could produce his own book on his experience, and I will be the first person to receive the complimentary book from him, hahaha...funny right? OK lets change the topic to academic based. Just to let you guys know that I have safely submitted my project paper on Development and Validation on Online Language Testing. I was terribly happy because this paper will be submitted to various places; meaning that for conference, workshop and etc. This July and August 2008. I will be presenting my own paper on this subject matter, over the sea. My parents will escort me as I am such a little turtle to go there, a new world for me (so called la), hahaha. Back to accommodation matter in UKM, I am struggling to get my very own room, on the fact that I don't want to hold any posts in the college because I afraid that I couldn't give my full commitment to it. Till then, I will update this posting later and add pictures. Got to go, tomorrow I will be escorting my research team, they are going to UMT for a meeting. Hope that they will buy something for me, hahaha...Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad...

Then we made our move to Cheras Leisure Mall, where once upon a time, my friend said so, Siti Nurhaliza was there when she was not so popular at that time...hahaha...the mall is so huge, like MidValley, and provides interbridge to the other site of the mall. Our plan was to watch a movie, The Shutter la, Horton la, and others, but it was too late to watch the movie (since we arrived almost 930pm). But we enjoyed having our ice-cream session together at McD. OK lets go the other best part of this posting, which is the Cheras Downtown. Me and my colleagues were so hungry, and we stopped by the Rokiah's food stall, near Sataza's, where we had our dinner there, me with Bubur Nasi, Kak Normah with Kuetiau Goreng Basah and Umi with her Nasi Goreng Pataya. I really enjoyed my meal, it was so delicious, and I can rate 7 out of 10. The best part of the downtown; where Kak Normah and Umi spent their money horifically as they have their own payings, and me? have to systemactically manage my accounts. The funny thing is, where one man at the stall, confested that he also wearing the skirt to Friday's Prayer and we laughed like hell, cant imagine that the man bravely wear the skirt to perform Friday's Prayer. And after that, we went back at almost 1am, stopped by at Kajang's McD's to fill my stomach with the porridge, so heavenly taste. Lastly, Umi sent Kak Normah to her place, where I met Kak Sam, EXHAUSTED after her mission at Pahang. OK then, almost 7pm ni, wanna get ready to Maghrib's prayer. Till then, Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

My Car---v2

2008-03-20T22:51:00.003+08:00

Today my car has been repaired, remodified and revamped. Hahaha...I like that. I sent my car to the nearest workshop to be repaired. And now, I am glad to drive my car freely without any distruptions. No more irritating sounds, no more intermittent stop and others. Alhamdulillah. But I will go to the workshop frequently to make sure that my car is OK. Till then, Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

My Car...

2008-03-20T22:27:00.003+08:00

This posting is about the incident that happened yesterday at Petronas Seksyen 15, near NIOSH. I was on my to refill the petrol to go to Seremban, to fetch Latifah and Alwani; pah will be attending the interview for the post of Account Executive, and I hope that pah will success in the interview. You know what happen after that, guess what, my car suddenly out of order; the battery lacking, and that time, around 8.00pm, the workshop in front of the Petronas is already closed. And I have to think how I gonna fetch my friends? Before that, I can feel that something bad will happen as the strange and very odd feelings surrounding me, but I just let it go, just a small thing I would say. Hours later, the mechanic from the nearest workshop came and fixed my car, replaced the old battery and the other mechanical parts of the car with the brand new (though it was expensive) and at last, my "lovely" car (the car helped me a lot during my life at UKM) is back again to fit my needs wherever I want to go. Thank god. May be yesterday event has the hidden meanings out of it, nobody knows, except the mighty Allah s.w.t. Alhamdulillah we ware safe till today. Else, I will regret forever...To my friends (pah and alwani), do believe that all things that happened have the meanings, regardless whatever it is, say Alhamdulillah. I will not forget about this as you guys were hardly tried to push my car in the rainy day and yet the car was not even moved in inches till the people at the petrol station came to give their hands; and to Beng, you know your friend as usual kan?, while pushing the car, she cant stop winking her eyes to the handsome guy that helped us, pengsan sekejap, hahaha...Till then, Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Happy Time...

2008-03-17T17:34:00.002+08:00

Last week, my family visited me here, in UKM. We spent our happy time together strolling around KL, bought so many stuffs, e.g. clothes, groceries, and others as well. We strolled all over the KL, my mom so tired that time, but my father still standing like a man!!! Proud of him! hahaha...then we went to our uncle and auntie's place at Cheras as they were having an engagement feast for their daughter. She looked like a princess tau...so beautiful. May be I will be the next bachelor to engage kot...hahaha...but am not planning yet, may be after my PhD graduation kot, after all studies are completely done, and that time, people will start calling me as Dr. Shahrul Ridzuan or Dr Ridzuan. Insyallah. Plus title Dato in front of my name, Dato Dr Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad. pray for me ya guys...Till then, Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Shopping Spree at Alamanda Putrajaya

2008-03-14T09:55:00.005+08:00

Yesterday, we went shopping spree-ingly at Alamanda Putrajaya. Me, Kak Normah Da Bomb, Alwani and Pah Kangkung. We bought our own personal stuff; dress for annual dinner, interview sessions, groceries, meds and many more. I managed to find and seek for my outfit; for my SoLLs Dinner, I bought two instead, one with yellow colour and one with red-so called colour, okla, I think I will wear the jacket with it, looks much more macho kot, hahaha...Yesterday, really tired and exhausted, woke up at 630am and slept at 4.52am. Can you see that the hostel that I live in is just like a one-stop hotel for all? Can make profit out of it tau, maybe one day will replace the current Pengetua, in my dream kot, hahaha...After shopping spree-ingly, we took our dinner in front of the Alpha, near Kg Dato Baginda, and located borderly of Putrajaya territory. We were having our good time together. Before went to bed, si Alwani Bayam asked me to bring her to Cheras Downtown, she wanted to buy jeans, as hers was rotten anyway, and on Sunday the mission would be accomplished, I hope. Now, am writing this entry, and right after this, will be going to Gemas for my research. Wish me luck ya guys...Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad. PS: To Kak Normah, please make full use of your novels ya, else, it will be a great loss tau. ok then, R and O.

Me at MEDiK 2008 (Annual College Dinner)

2008-03-13T00:06:00.004+08:00

This is me. What say you? OK? My coursemates idealized the figure of a young man, a so-called urban and charismatic man, isn't the picture right? OK wrong? Please comment...hahaha...During the dinner, which was yesterday, I met my old colleagues; Haizal, Abg Zul, and others as well. It was fun and I enjoyed the dinner. This time around, the board chosen Fazli Zainal (again), for the artist performance section, and I was like, I heard his songs so many time (infinity) during SUKMANITA and other functions. But OKla, he entertained us with his great voice...OKla guys, need to sleep, so tired, the day is so busy and kind of hectic business. Till then, regards, SHAHRUL RIDZUAN ARSHAD.

Telecentres visit at Selangor...n Perak

2008-03-10T23:24:00.004+08:00

Today is the most tiring day for me, as I woke up in the morning at 630 am (slept at 430am; after completed my partime work) and now am writing this entry at 2332, hahaha...my eyes cant take it anymore, yet am struggling to post this entry. The journey to the destinations took us around 1-2 hours; two ways. All of the reasons for this research expands my views and experiences for certain things; e.g., how to do this, do that, why, how and etc...really feel good. The picture above taken during our visit to Kg Sungai Gulang-Gulang at Tanjung Karang, Selangor, nearly located at Perak borderline. Till then, Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad. PS: I will be going to various places in the future, Negeri Sembilan this thursday and friday, and more to come.

2008-03-09T19:51:00.005+08:00

The so called "psychological war" of the two tribes have finally ended with full emotions and feelings. Hope that the term "friendship" will not be misinterpreted after this. I just want you guys know about the value of friendship, since at the beginning of our studies and up to date. Keep in touch ya...Till then, regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad

Seeking for A Job Employment

2008-03-09T18:12:00.003+08:00

That's me. The only me. The picture was taken during the "trip" to PJ (actually it was an interview and assessment for job employment; I accompanied my friend to the company). PJ at a glance, not a small territory, but huge and big city. Driving to the destination, really worth it. Now i know how to get to these places via shortcuts (places like, secret...). My friend was shortlisted to attend to this assessment test, however...(big applause to her), she did her very best for it, and as for me, it is not an easy task to penetrate all those obstacles since we are still so-called "a new leaf" to the new gigantic metropolitan world. Indeed, we are graduating soon, most probably in August, hahaha...The term interview and assessment for a job employment are the terms that commonly used to hear right? In my opinion, the more risks we take, more chances will come...just believe in yourself that you can do it. Actually, I have attended numerous interviews, assessments, and etc for job employment, so I have the experience (not much la) about it; the interviewer wants to see our true colors, so just present your true colors to them and let them be amazed at you and the job is yours. hahaha...and after PJ, we went back to UKM, stopped by at The Mines to have our late lunch at 6.00pm. I bought bihun sup with fish balls (not so goof, expensive some more), and my friend ate Nasi in the claypot (not very nice too, but still can be eaten, the nasi looked like over-cooked). Then, we strolled around The Mines, not window shopping la; I as usual, stopped by the IT World to buy the latest software in the market (pirate and not original). After that, we were heading back to UKM, we're maximumly exhausted as we spent the day at PJ and The Mines. The night, I spent my time with my office mates at Dectar (the SUKMANITA organized the Konsert Amal for Dana Pendidikan) watching various popular artists performed at the charity concert; Amy Search, Ramlah Ram, Aisyah, Fazli Zainal, Waheeda, Yassin and others. The best time was, I took the picture with Fazli Zainal - the Malaysian Idol with the popular hits song "Harapan" (I will put the picture later k). Finally, I reached room sweet room, and I spent the night watching The Invicible Iron Man till 4.00 am in the morning. Next week I will visit the telecentres at Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and others (fieldwork). Now, am updating and finalizing the School Fieldwork project for Principles and Methods in TESL (VVVP 1763). Hope that our group will get an A for it. OK la dear friends, bye2, Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Completed the School Fieldwork (VVVP 1763)

2008-03-06T23:59:00.004+08:00

At last and finally, my research project for VVVP 1763 (Principles and Methods in TESL) has completely done. The research was about the English language teaching and learning in a classroom environment; focusing about 3Ps, skills, teacher and students' behaviours, and last but not least the lesson plan. I was the one in-charged of investigating the 3Ps elements, while the others, William, Ai Ching and Loke Wan Tim were looking on their own sections respectively. Many thanks to our beloved and respected lecturer, Puan Kemboja Ismail and husband, Encik Arris Fadzillah for their kindness and cooperation in assisting my team for this project, Christina Ong Sook Beng, for lending us her digital camera, and others as well. I am very grateful to have lecturer and teacher like Puan Kemboja and Cikgu Arris. The impact of this research makes us realize that the roles of the teacher is actually very important, as such, the teacher has to make sure that the students will understand the topic presented by the teacher. At the same time, we were also enjoying our tme to be with the teachers and students at SMK Bandar Baru Bangi, it refreshes my time few years ago, as I used to be a school student, hahaha. till then, Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Suprising...

2008-03-06T12:10:00.003+08:00

Was so suprised this morning when I went to the ELT class; i got 9.5 for my first quiz (actually I didnt revise, and not even ready for it). Maybe the questions were so easy kot, but anyway, kind of electric shock la...hahaha...next time I'l be more ready and well-prepared for any of the test or exams...Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad

2008-03-05T11:38:00.005+08:00

We were discussing about our project, sssshhh.....it is PNC; can't tell you. It just a treat la...The picture was taken by Nokia E90; dunt be suprised by the price; RM 3500++, can't imagine if the phone; fall down, stolen, and etc...must handle with care...hahaha...To Kak Sam (aku tahu kau sukekan nyer), frankly, you look like very typical malay woman in that Baju Kurung wear, very nice...Till then, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

So funny right? I was driving yesterday to the PKNS Bangi, after "visited" the Pasar Malam near Seksyen 1 with Kak Normah and Yan. They wanted to go there after long time never been there. Kak Normah bought two pieces of cloth for her sister, Yan with her food and me, only Roti John; I feel that I am in love with Roti John, very nutrious and healthy food; as I am not taking rice anymore after all. Believe me, my weight has going down from 80kg to 70kg averagely. So impressive...wish to have weight of 60kg one day...hahaha...il try my best to beat my current weight now. Till then, Best regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

There are also images of Kak Sam, friends at Berjaya, and not forgotten, me at Kopitiam. The pictures proudly made by Adobe Family (designers should know this term).

Above shows Kak Sam at Kopitiam, Bangi. We went there yesterday for a "round table meeting" with one influential person in UKM for our business, hahaha (PNC, cant tell you). Kak Sam really portrays the elements of A Typical Malay Woman via her outfit, facial expression, and the way she looks at us (see her eyes). hahaha, for those out there who wish to win her heart, dont waste your time and energy as she is already "engaged" tau...To Kak Sam, you are such kind, and beautiful in your looking. Maintain that k... Me and friends at Berjaya Times Squeare, for the E-Community Research Center National Seminar on Bridging the Digital Divide. This picture was taken inside the Berjaya Hotel. We were having our good time together as a team. That night we went to the Cosmos World, so cool man...we really enjoy our time together...miss that moment...

Me at Kopitiam Bangi. I was having my tea time break with Kak Sam and the executive. The picture taken by my phone, lensed by Kak Sam, so perspective and macro mood kan? haha...till then, enjoy the pictures. Best, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad

Poster of Serene Revival

2008-03-02T16:25:00.003+08:00

What does Serene Revival means? Hahaha, have to ask Angie la, because she was the one who presented about the poster very discriptively. Actually the poster was made due to the course requirement; Literature taught by Dr Shantini Pillai (very nice and sweet person, though she was so busy with her projects), the idea of the poster was given by all of the members in my group; me, Angie, William and last but not least, "the leader", Sia Ai Ching, but for the design and artwork matters, I was the person in charged. How was it? During the poster presentation, Angie did a very good job in presenting the elements of the Serene Revival to the lecturer, Ms Arezou, and Ms Arezou was some sorts of, amazed with her, hahaha...good job Angie...but this time around, I will not be working with Angie anymore, she turned the table to another people. hahaha...just joking...so friends, good luck in designing and completing your poster for literature assignment ya...you can call me anytime to help you in this matter. Best, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

THE FOUR GENRES OF SNOW WHITE

2008-03-02T14:18:00.000+08:00

Hello friends, this posting will describe my experience starring as multiple characters (round characters) in the Snow White play. I and my team have to choose one story (fairytales) to be diversified into selected genres (sci-fi, comedy, horror, cowboy and many more). Angie as usual was the director and the rest, followers. For the first genre which was cowboy genre, I played the character of The Grumpy (The Seven Dwarves), Tim was the cowboy, Sook Beng was the Girl (Snowy-Dessert-White), and Mei Kian was the boss (hehehe). As for the second scene; I became the prince charming who will be married with “little-gloomy-gothical-snowy-mowy” played by Chai May Ling, and the “bad-cruel witch” played by Sia Ai Ching. It was funny to hear Ai Ching laughing, she laughed with the right intonation (she never laugh like that before with us) till all of us laughed at her, hahaha…The third and forth, I played the character of The Grumpy again, hahaha. So funny and we enjoyed it. Congrats Angie and the team for the successfulness of the project…Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

ME & DATO’ VC

2008-03-02T14:13:00.001+08:00

Yesterday night was the most unforgettable experience in my life when Dato’ VC called me to the stage as an appreciation of the souvenir “portrait of excellence; The Vice Chancellor” and also to take picture with her (along with the portrait). I was like speechless, “my goodness, Dato’ VC is in front of me and she is telling me that she likes the portrait very much, and she did a simple joke that the portrait is beautiful than the real person is and we had a very quick chit-chatting on the stage”…so terribly shocked and at the same time astounded when I was called to be with her in picture. I didn’t expect that she would call me, but all of the sudden, my principal called the usher to take me on the stage. Hahaha…was speechless that time…actually I have taken picture with Dato’ VC when the Angkasawan Negara visited UKM last time, may be she didn’t remember me kot as I was in casual wear, while yesterday night, I was in batik wear. Hahaha…may be next time the VC will remember me…She said that I could go further with my skills and she was proud of my artwork…and the story doesn’t stop there, my principal gave his consent on my Kajai Fellowship. And I was like to fly to the Hogwarts, maybe in my dream…OKla, I need to revise on ELT because tomorrow morning I will be seating for the quiz. Didn’t read it at all…wish me luck…To Dato’ VC, I look upon any chances and opportunities in UKM and I really2 appreciated the moment to be on stage with you…it was remarkable to be with the most outstanding woman in Malaysia…so proud of you Dato’ VC. PS: Dear Dato’, do leave a comment for my blog ya…Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Wandering and shopping again...v2

2008-03-01T18:27:00.004+08:00

This posting is about my experience wandering around KL, hang out with my office mates yesterday, after working hectically. At the office, we were working on the project that needs urgent attention from the authorities. I have to be the person in charge for the external visits to ukm; in which I have to prepare all sorts of work, e.g., multimedia presentation, exhibition, website and etc. In addition, we will be going to Marriot for the project discussion and workshop, long time never been there tau...i went there with Kak Wan long time ago for the MECT workshop. OK, back to the office story, we were busy preparing for the important meeting, where I and Kak Normah were dashing to do it. After the meeting, we were planning to go for an outting, and the senate has approved to go to KL, hahaha. So, we went to many places like Bukit Bintang, Berjaya, PJ Street, Chow Kit Road, KL Tower, KLCC, Downtown; in which I spent more buying my stuff, and many more. At Chow Kit Road, we were warned by one man not to be there by that time, because it is dangerous, anything can happen without our expectations. It was raining that time, but we enjoyed the time we spent together. Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad. PS: Wish to go to Uptown Damansara one day...

WANDERING AND SHOPPING AT CHERAS DOWNTOWN

2008-02-27T09:45:00.001+08:00

Went there on last Sunday (24th Feb 2008), after watching CJ7 (watched it for two times) with Kak Normah and Umi- after they completed their Kursus Kahwin which was organized by UKM. At the first place, I wanted to join the kursus, but seem all the uptight business ringing all the time, the plan to go to the kursus have to be cancelled. Poor my office mates and my college mates, they were asking me to join them, but for me, tak de rezeki, may next time kot I will be able to sign in. Ha, back to the story, after watching CJ7, we went to the Cheras Downtown, where I did the shopping spree tau, bought my stuffs, and we were really happy and enjoy during that time, you all should go there one day. Many stuffs like branded cloth, jeans, perfume and etc can be found there. Also not to be forgotten, the karaoke session, I was like to laugh like hell to hear the kid singing the “rock song”, memang rocks!!! ok wana sleep dah…bye…

THE PORTRAIT OF EXCELLENCE: THE VICE CHANCELLOR

2008-02-26T12:36:00.003+08:00

Hello, this posting will describe about the history and the making of the portrait of excellence: THE VICE CHANCELLOR OF UKM, Prof. Dato’ Dr. Sharifah Hapsah Syed Shahabudin. A very brief about her history; she is the new vice chancellor of UKM (appointed last year) replacing the former vice chancellor, Tan Sri Dr. Salleh Md. Yassin; which is currently heading the LAN (Lembaga Akreditasi Negara, if I am not mistaken and sorry if it is wrong; left any of the important facts about them). OK that’s it. The portrait is computer generated (you know what I mean right?); developed by the hybrid engine of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Brushes and others. Well, the story of this portrait making was in dash, where the UKM authority
asked me to design a so-called sketched and stylized (illusive) picture of her, which will bring the meaning of charismatic and excellence portrait of the VC, and I did it excellently; my authorities were impressive with it and it will be handed over to her (as a souvenir though some people used to call it a “token”; may vary according to different countries) by my authority tonight in conjunction of the residential event. Am so proud of it, perhaps, the VC will place my “remarkable artwork” at her office, or, at home. Hahaha, may be next visit to her home, I will keep my eyes on it; searching and scanning thoroughly for it. Just joking. Done with that, would like to highlight here about the film developing, even though it was fantastically made by computer applications, it still have to go through the conventional ways of making it live; like a picture; the camera lady called it taxing and waxing, and I was like, my goodness, she was repeating my subject of photography techniques and manipulation, as I hate all those terminologies, who cares, u got the camera, u got the shutter; all in your hands, just press the shutter, hahaha, but my sifoo’s advice, a good picture comes with good impact, means that the shutter la…who else, if it is not you!!!…shutter here means, (i) the camera shutter, (ii) the cameraman. Already 3:50am in the morning. I shall go to bed by 4:00am. At 8:00 am will be having a short rehearsal on the “Snowy-Mowy-Gothy White” play for the lit course. Bye…so sleepy…

The Best of SHAHRUL RIDZUAN ARSHAD

2008-02-25T13:40:00.002+08:00

Don’t forget to grab my latest album, THE BEST OF SHAHRUL; it is available at your nearest mall, and also for those online surfers/googglers, you can retrieve it online 24/7!!! Don’t be late as the copies are limited…just joking la, don’t take it seriously. Actually I have ample time to design it, for the sake of polishing my skills in this field. From the merged pictures, what I can see from my very own face, I have put on weight, and you can see different picture with different impacts, styles and fashions (according to the theme). But anyway, I am practicing to loose my weight with the good diet. I will put my latest picture when I am ready to do so. Wish me luck k…

NO MORE McD’s, and…

2008-02-25T13:36:00.001+08:00

The graphic above shows you about my routine; which was once upon a time, like to eat McD’s and junk food. Since the doctor says that McD’s and junk food are not good for my health as it will lead to severe or (fatal…oooppss) disease like diabetes, high blood pressure, and etc; and it alarms me about the fact that, I must stop all this nonsense; risking my life. So, from this moment on, I would never consume rice, McD’s, KFC and other junk food(once per month consider OK kan doc?...hahaha), and only to eat good, healthy and nutrition food every day. To tell you the truth, I didn’t put on weight anymore as my weight currently is 70kg…impressive!!! (Previously it was 80kg), later I will update my appearance with BEFORE and AFTER…coming soon…

HUE EFFECTS

2008-02-25T13:10:00.004+08:00

Looks like tv advertisement right? Hahaha…my new project with one tv production, to come out with the new show entitled HUE EFFECTS, one day (the host), perhaps, in my dream. This poster called hue effects because it is produced by the techniques of hue-ing the graphic with the blended moving background. I would like to publish the montage version of HUE EFFECTS here but later la. Anyone who would like to learn how to manipulate their pictures do text me ya. Bye for now.

Friends at Ganu

2008-02-23T23:14:00.006+08:00

Hi there, the picture aboce shows you our prime time at Terengganu, actually the pictures were taken while shopping at Pasar Payang, located at one of the main tourist attraction center. At Pasar Payang, we bought various things; baju kelawar, souvenirs, keropok, budu, doll and many more, and not to be forgotten, my narita, we were having like a concert in the house as I was searching for the Narita, and The Ganus there was like, (connotatively) "my goodness, the aliens have landed here for the Islam Hadhari carnival, why were the aliens coming here?" as we were shouting (for fun) to each other when buying the things. hahaha...so happy, would love to be there again...love the sceneries. PS: the stars in the gloomy sky in Terengganu and Kelantan were glowing (blissful); the signs of the creator. I didnt find any of the glowing and shimmering stars here in Bangi, may be the fact that....no answer for that. OK, that's for now, bye, regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Completed the Masters Degree Application

2008-02-23T23:04:00.002+08:00

Hahaha…finally, I did it; completed the masters application form and submitted at 4:45pm, Thursday. I have chosen to pursue my studies at Education Faculty in Computer Education, at first, TESL was my first interest, but after making so deeply reasoning, I have to choose the best that suits me, as it is my future and also for my career. And Computer Education was selected after few discussions with my lecturers (including sms-es). The graduating picture was taken mockingly as I am graduating soon on August 2008. Hopefully I would be able to further my masters degree at Education Faculty in Computer Education and later to PhD level, God’s will. Best regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Friends at The Mines

2008-02-23T22:59:00.003+08:00

It was a Valentine’s Day environment when we first stepped in our feet at The Mines, Serdang. We were surprised with the situation; of course la, as students, we don’t have the time to think about celebrating the Valentine’s Day as there are several of home works and assignments to be done and to be sent on time. OK, let’s go back to the story, me, William, Along, Ina, Yan and Ochin spent our very short time at The Mines as I, William and Yan were watching movie; Anak, starred by Erra Fazirra and Ida Nerina; a horror and thriller movie, I would say. Not so cool la the movie, but from the movie, I learned that the production team used the high density camera as the macro and micro mode can be clearly seen, so cool man. Love to have the camera, but no RM to own it, just in my dream only, will own it one day. The rest, went for window shopping, and stopped at McD for their late dinner, while me; William and Yan were fighting inside the theater as our stomach shivering and trembling for food, so damn hungry you know, hahaha…After that, we went to BBB Tomyam near the Unikeb, Seksyen 15, where it was “The Night of Kuetiaus”, I ate Kuetiau Tom Yam, Yan with her Kuetiau Kunfu and William on the other hand, ate Kuetiau Lakna, the rest just had their drinks only. Next, we went home, before that, I stopped at the Petronas near Seksyen 3, to fill up the petrol for my car as the car was running with zero petrol to The Mines and for the return…if the car stops, I would not be so scared, as I have four GENTLE-women boarding my car and one GENTLE-man; William to kick-start the car. So, the picture above shows our happy and wonderful time at The Mines. Love you guys, friends. OK la, it already 3:38am in the morning. I have to finish up my writing on chapter 4 as Datin already asked for it. OK then, best regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

A Gift for All

2008-02-23T22:44:00.002+08:00

Dear BA ELS friends, actually, the gift (it was for William’s respondents, but he refused it, hahaha) is for you all, friends; who really knows what does friendship mean. You can print it in a form of bookmark or save it in your computer. For those their picture was not in, am so sorry, do e-mail me your picture at smkrc85@yahoo.com to be added in. I will update it from time to time. OK for now, want to wrap up my chapter 4 for my thesis. Bye…

Eyes for the Best Friend+ship=FriendSHIP or FriendSHIT?

2008-02-23T22:27:00.001+08:00

Why everyone always miss-use AND hypocrisy-ing the term friend+ship? Does anyone have the answer? I don’t even have the heart to friend-shitting my friends as I know friend is the best treasure in my life, and same goes to everyone else in this world. Hope that the incident that was happening to me will be the last episode of the friendshit-ing and I don’t want that to be happened to my friends out there. Beware of your friends, the friend next to you may become your foe and bear in mind that there are also friend who eats friend out there. But what is the rationale of the eyes? Haha, it is my eyes, just made it simple by smudging, smearing and crystallize effects. Look deeply into my eyes, could you ever backstabbing me? I know some jokes can be accepted, but there is also a joke that doesn’t make any sense at all. In my case, time is gold, priceless; nothing can stop time and please respect my time as time is meaningful. So friends, DO NOT take advantage and take for granted from your friends as one may find it differently. OK for now, bye. Sorry for those words. No offense.

Just for you friends...

2008-02-21T18:00:00.006+08:00

Yesterday, we went hunting for the food, as our -BEST FRIENDS- were "connotatively" fighting for each other in front of us, and I (me and William) tried to settle them up, wanted to see them like they used to be, and just to make them back together in the mood, but, our good intentions were not worth it. For me, friend helps friend, no need to test the degree of the friendship. Friendship value comes from the sincere heart and not from the words, actions. Just want to express here that friends are important and valuable, and I love my friends, but, please do not miss-use and take my kindness and sincerity for granted. Best, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

The Chaotical + Euphorical episodes = ENJOY Day

2008-02-20T16:59:00.003+08:00

It was the chaotic + contented day for me, 19th February 2008. Everything was very smooth and organized for me as I woke up early in the morning, attended the quiz (ELA III; puzzled me as I didn’t do any readings at all), attended tutorial (literary intersections); where Puan Melissa asked us to do a play on any genres; horror, comedy, sci-fi, etc (our group leader, Angie, as usual, made the decision to play Snow White in four genres, where I’ll become the “prince-to-marry-little-gothical-snowy (si snowy will be played by Chai May Ling-she has very good re-bonding-black-silky-hair)”, hahaha, do grab this chance to watch us in action) and last but not least was my tutorial time for Web-Based Language Learning, where I became the lecturer for the day, hahaha, to deliver the lecture, talk, training and etc. It was cool man, all the students (actually most of them are my friends-Angie, Wilter, Cynthia, Aishah, Bolqiah, Husni, Hani, etc are one of them, always asked her to answer my questions, sorry Angie…hehehe), they gave 100% concentrations and full commitment in learning the computer application. Early in the morning, I was terribly shocked by Izzah, where she accidentally hit the divider at UKMP while driving Ili’s MyVy and that made her to pay for the price to repair it. Pity her, her father was admitted to Klang Hospital because of his heart problem, and now her father is recovering from it. Hope that her father will be OK and get back to action very soon. Insyaallah. On the other hand, I was horrifically frightened when I received SMS-es from Izzah and Kak Sam, telling that my boss was really angry with me as I am using her module for my very own purpose, but I didn’t feel it that way, I didn’t misused it, I just apply it. Some people might think that I am some sort of unethical-off to break the law-using the module without any authorization from my superior, but I’m really really sorry about that. I will write the letter of apology to my boss. To my boss, I am really sorry ya, I didn’t mean to re-use, miss-use or any equal meaning towards the module. Thanks to my officemates, grateful to them, can’t live without you friends…But the day paid off; it is a payday for me. So, as promised, I gave all the allocated payment to my friends, really sorry if the payment is not beyond your expectations. I also met Umi and Kak Normah at Leno Kajang where my friend, Beng wanted to buy her very own new hand phone. She bought the same model as me, fairer than me; white model la. I was wondering what she is doing for the moment; bet she must googgling and browsing through her NEW phone. Good luck Beng, if you face and problems in using the phone, just consult me ok. I am ready to help you anytime. To Alwani Kapal Perang Zaman Jepun, do behave yourself in public ok; do not tease me, in other word, jangan pukol I lagi, else, Step Sister (as usual will call u like this “AL with low tone and WANI with rising tone…”) Tina will pinch your cheeks, hahaha. Ngada Pah Kentang. To conclude: Oklah…it’s the time for me to end this entry as it is already 3.33 am in the morning. I shall go to bed by 4.00am; classes at 8.00-9.00am, 10.00-11.00am, 12.00-2.00pm and 4.30-6.30pm. Au Revoir...

Web 2.0 version

2008-02-17T22:34:00.004+08:00

I somehow was thinking about the system of pendrive/thumbdrive version 2.0, and the idea of Web 2.0 came into my mind. So I googled for the term Web 2.0. I found one that caught my attention. The article that i quoted is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0). This entry is only an excerpt . Please browse or the IT savvy nowadays says "google" the wikipedia for further information.

The quotation starts here:
On September 30, 2005, Tim O'Reilly wrote a piece summarizing his view of Web 2.0. The mind-map pictured above (constructed by Markus Angermeier on November 11, 2005) sums up some of the memes of Web 2.0, with example-sites and services attached. Web 2.0 is a trend in World Wide Web technology, and web design, a second generation of web-based communities and hosted services such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies, which aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing among users. The term became notable after the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004.

Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use webs. According to Tim O'Reilly: "Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform."

Some technology experts, notably Tim Berners-Lee, have questioned whether one can use the term in a meaningful way, since many of the technology components of "Web 2.0" have existed since the early days of the Web. An IBM social-networking analyst, Dario de Judicibus, has proposed a different definition which focuses more on social interactions and on architectural implementation: "Web 2.0 is a knowledge-oriented environment where human interactions generate content that is published, managed and used through network applications in a service-oriented architecture."

OK then, hope this posting will help you understand better about Web 2.0 version.

My parents visit to UKM Bangi

2008-02-17T21:51:00.002+08:00

Today my parents will visit me. So happy and I don’t know what degree of happiness of me. Just a quick recall from my first day first semester when I was submitted to UKM, when my family left me in UKM, it was so ironically tremendous event as I never being left alone by my family. I cried for the first time when I saw my mother cried and waving good bye for me. But for the sake of my life and my future, I have to be tough, my parents inspires me to get through all these, all obstacles and all resistances; to be a good, pious, and successful in my life. Love them very much. My parents arrived at 12.00 noon, and we straight away took our lunch cooked by mom-so delicious tau. She cooked my favorite dishes; ayam masak merah, tempe goreng, sambal ikan bilis and some extra dishes, and lastly the afters. After finished the lunch, my father checked my car, and shocked by the appearance of it, I promised my father to wash and clean it as soon as I could. Sorry ya. Hahaha. Back to college, I was rushing to complete the BESTARI.COMM report and also my thesis report. The important thing is my masters application. My mother keeps buzzing me to send the form quickly and Insyallah without any difficulties, I’l do it tomorrow and will send the form most probably this week. PS: I am planning to pursue my studies to masters level, perhaps in Masters in Education (Computer in Education). God’s will.

The very tired+hectic+hay wired day

2008-02-17T21:49:00.002+08:00

The title shows you how tired I was rite? Hahaha. It was after the completion of Cinderella analysis. I’l post the Cinderella analysis later on. But what I would like to highlight here is, the very tired and exhausted of me. It happened on Saturday; I woke up at 6am and continued my business till 11am. Then si Angie Miau called me to go to Warta to get her gadget, what else, the Voice Recorder/Player la, she was buzzing everyone with her Voice Recorder/Player from the last semester, though, I wanted to borrow mine, she resisted to, just because of the factor of IT savvy and she used micro cassette to record all conversations made by the Peranakans. And now, I was wondering if she has started to analyze her recordings. Good luck Angie Mice in completing your thesis. OK, let’s go back to Warta, I and Angie went to PKNS first before Warta, there, it was another way round of me and Angie where I wanted to buy my gros, but at the end, she was the one who bought all the gros there, hahaha, Angie, Angie…She spent extensively her money but she also earns, so why not spend for our own good kan? After that, we went to Warta, there Angie bought her very first Voice Recorder/Player with the price of RM 200. So Angie, listen to me, do place it in the very static-safe place, and do handle it with care, even though it is just RM 200, but it is hard to earn RM200 tau. Next, we had our teatime at the food court on the 3rd level where we ate Bihun Goreng Basah-gravyness-type and Lai Chi Kang. So damn tasty and 2nd class upper of the degree of deliciousness. PS: U must try it in order to know how it tastes. After that, I sent her back to her place; we didn’t go to the pasar malam as the title already shows you the degree of fatigue, tiredness and laziness of me. The night, I and William Kangkong went to Kajang in the search of hand phone. We both bought the same phone, at first, I wanted to buy the LG brand phone but somehow I just like the Nokia phone so I just bought it, not bad la, I can manage my time very well with this phone as the phone provides time management for call usage, cool man. Hahaha. Then, the twins called me for supper, and one of them, sure la si Alwani Giraffe, responded me like this “I am illiterate, so I can’t read”, earlier she asked me for supper and I replied “my food is on you”, and instead of replying her, I called her because since she claimed herself illiterate in reading messages. Hahaha, so we went for supper at SOHO near Putrajaya. Back to my room-sweet-room, I started to write postings for my blog. Then, I went to sleep with those hectical works. The end. Tomorrow my parents will come here. I am happy to meet them. Surely got my favorite food cooked by my mom. Hahaha.

The Hectic Day

2008-02-17T21:40:00.002+08:00

The very hectic day for me was yesterday- the deadline day for the analysis of 17th and 20th century of Cinderella story. I was so peaky to finish it up, but I must do it for the sake of my grades, that is, my future. Hahaha, so troublesome. The night before the deadline I went to have mid night supper at McDonald’s; I deliberately ate the spicy chicken set as I’ve had my dinner before that, so coincidentally when my friend bought me my favorite food-bihun goring from Dato’ Onn-I wanted the bihun from Hussein Onn but instead of eating from the same stall, I rather try out the others as well. The bihun can be rated as OKla since the cook uses the cheap bihun; I am the one with the lucrative taste. After that, my friend asked me to go out for McD and we went there to eat. Nothing special happened, as every one of us were struggling and competing to finish up the assignment of analyzing Cinderella. Finish with the McD part, we straight away went back and I was in the blue sky figuring on how to start analyzing Cinderella even though I’ve had my readings beforehand. So, I was not so worried about that-but to be frank, I was in a lose sleep doing the assignment. During the interval, my friend called me and we were chatting till 4am and I was like a sleepy baby. Then there goes the sleeping time till 630am and prolonged to 9am. In the rush of time, I was successfully completed the Cinderella analysis and I sent it to my lecturer sharp 430pm where she was waiting for me at the main foyer of my school; I was so embarrassed that she waited for me for so long as I was chatting with my colleagues about Masters degree, but anyway, she didn’t angry, she smiled instead. After all the Cinderella-troubles, I and my friends made a plan to go for an outing because si Latipah Kangkung wanted to buy her groceries and si Angie Siam wanted to buy her own Voice Recorder/Player-to analyze her research project about Baba-Malay Peranakan Dialects, if I am not mistaken la. From PPBL (after submitted the assignment), Back to college, si Alwani Tosei and Latipah Sawi called me to pick them up at Bangunan Wawasan; they attended the UKM Holding Courses-TEA, I don’t know what is TEA, it has its own meaning attached to it; something Team Enhancement Association kot, hahaha, no la, don’t know what it TEA, I’l ask them later. Later I found out that the programme is meant for –Girls- Telephone Operator for one big name of TELCO company. Then, I picked them up and we went to PPS to buy the Masters Application Form for Alwani Bayam and Farah Hermione Granger Hufflepuff. Hahaha, sorry guys, for these nicknames. I know you all like it. After that, we started the journey to the West (Kajang) by my car and dropped at Hentian Kajang to pick si little Angie Siam. Unfortunately, she was sleeping at that time and we had our so-called tea-time at the Bakso Stall-so delicious-tastilicious. Then we make our way to Mydin, MetroPoint and lastly, Metro Kajang; si Latipah kobis cina and her twins friend si wawa kobis tak cukup masak bought her coffee and all junk food at Mydin while me, William and si Angie Siam went to next mall to find Angie’s voice recorder/player for her research project. Fortunately, there was one gadget, but the gadget didn’t win her heart as her heart still at Warta Bangi, hahaha-but she managed to get one-Sony brand; if I were Angie, I would bargain and negotiate the price as low as I can, hahaha. But Angie is Angie and she is not me, but at the end, she told me that the price would be cheaper if she asked for it-tu la Angie, the moral of the story, bargain first, buy later. Back to Metro Kajang, I and William went to find for a brand new phone, but all phones were not in good condition (so –called) as I can tell you the Samsung phone story, I wanted to buy this Samsung phone but my I was in torn, the next day I went, the fellow said that the phone was not equipped with the charger as it was a 2nd hand phone. Hahaha, luckily I didn’t buy that Samsung phone. Indeed, I got one brand new Nokia phone for my private account; I was voiceless for a moment la but not too happy la; just in crisp. OK, let’s continue the story-Metro Kajang, my friends were busy shopping for their clothing and I was really exhausted till I made my self looked like uncivilized; as I was sitting on the floor waiting for them I met Dr Nadzrah and her kids; my goodness, she saw I was sitting on the floor with the not-so-good manner and I was like to shift to another shape or anything that can be, so embarrassed with that event, but luckily it refreshed and activated my sleepy-mode, hahaha… let’s forget it, I would NOT practice that anymore in public as anything can happen. After that, we went to the cinema to watch the latest movie which is Cj7-generally the story is based on melancholic and melodramatic views, and the plot structure of the story is about father-son relationship-I cried when I watch it because the father (Stephen Chow) works VERY hard to make sure his son receives good education and to be a successful person in his life as the father keep repeating the dialogue; “poor people doesn’t cheat, steal and lie”, so touched with the climax where the son wanted to show his examination result (65%) to his father, but his father involved in accidental death at his workplace, and the miniature creature from the space saved the father; the creature-Cj7 is so cute tau till I don’t know to regard the Cj7 as he or she but anything will do, so I regard the creature as Cj7, hahaha. So guys, watch it tau. I bet you must be crying at the climax part. After watching Cj7, we had our late supper at Angie Siam’s place, Arinie’s Restaurant where I. Angie Siam and Pah helikopter ate Kuetiau Lakna, William ate Kuetiau Goreng, Wawa Ganu kite ate Nasi Goreng Thai. There we had our fabulous and marvelous funny conversation about our life, after graduation, working, family, personal and etc. Once we finished our food, I sent Angie’s Siam to her place, and the rest, Latipah Pendrive and Wawa Jamu to their college, me and William to our beloved college, Kolej Rahim Kajai, Kajai Pantang Kalah. And with that, I end my story; the day ended with full of enjoyment and happiness with you guys, my friends. (I can so la as my thesis is in final chapter). Yahoo…..

The Most Memorable Vacation

2008-02-03T16:00:00.001+08:00

It was, and still the most memorable vacation ever happened to me early February 2008. I know u guys out there does'nt have any particle ideas about this posting. Hahaha. OK, let me start the story by telling you four fantastic-terrific stories that happened during the vacation-so called la. The place that we went to is Terengganu, i know what plays in your minds when the term Terengganu evoked in. But believe me, Terengganu and Kelantan have totally transformed into the very-not-so-called-metropolitan-urban-city, but it was cool and unique indeed-my perceptions towards these two states, however, changed when i first stepped on the Kelantan tiles (the ground la). We hopped 2 days and 1 night at Samudera Hotel (kind a 2 and quarter-star if i were to rate this hotel la, so Kelantanese and Terengganus, No Offense ya- im just expressing my very thoughts towards my experience during the visit) and we went to many places to research about the use and implementation of ICT in the local community. Here, I would like to highlight few of the most outstanding stories when i was there, 1. The Mengkarung-lizard was (once upon a time) lived in the very huge castle (ekom la tu) with very wonderful, cheerful princesses namely IZAH(she was the one the lizard wanted to marry), BUTCHESS NORMAH (once she used to be a princess but one witch transformed and cursed her to be the butchess for her life time), WITCH SAM & UMI (they were twins but one day voldemort came and separated them into two parts, and today they live hapily ever after-hahaha, sukenya aku), one more, not to be forgotten by the time is ILI the "MCGONAGALL" (the twins from Azkaban) SORRY FOR THE NAMES ya...last but not least, is me, the very sweet handsome charming Harry Potter-every women's dream...hahahaha. OK the first story, played by IZZAH, where the mengkarung suddenly turned up in front of HAZIRAH-the very to-be-name-later, and terrified the whole great castle (ekom), and at that time, the queen was there, and she was so shocked with the special appearance of the Prince Mengkarung(IZAH'S dream mate) till the whole castle expected to collapse, but as the hero came as a saviour of time, he managed to put off the mengkarung out of the castle.

How to Employ Effective Keyword And Search Engine?

2008-01-27T12:56:00.001+08:00

Dear IT Readers, this posting describes the effective ways when searching or googling for an information. Article quoted from http://www.mohdhafez.net/keyword-and-search-engine/ and the primer source from OrangMelayu.com. For those IT users, do take this for your own good ya...Enjoy then.

Hello all! You may know how important good keyword rich text is on your website for good search engine rankings, but do you know how to write effective text with good keywords? Well first it’s very important to determine what your keywords are. Going to a site like Overture’s Keyword Selector Tool and typing in a few of the keywords that you think are the most important and seeing which ones rank higher should be your first stop. Then you can subtlely integrate the words in your text. However don’t sound like you’re forcing it, just type natural phrasing and make it readable so it’s not obvious you’re keyword stuffing.

Keyword density has grown much speculation amongst SEO experts. Some agree that keywords are important but there is no exact percentage that you should meet, while others seem to think having your keywords at least 1-4% of your text is the magic bullet. There is no way to be absoltely certain and with Google and other search engines changing their algorithms all the time, both ways could certainly be right.

Anyhow there are some things you can be certain about when writing good keyword rich text. Most good keyword phrases are 2-5 words in length.These are the search phrases that most surfers will use to find your website. It’s actually better to keep your keyword phrases longer than shorter. It cuts down on competition and it’s been proven that shorter keyword searchers are shoppers while longer keyword searchers are BUYERS. Having the keyword phrase “tennis balls” is too hard to rank for and if you do get a high listing, too hard to keep. While “yellow Dunlop tennis balls” would be much easier and it attracts people who are looking for a specific thing.

Only use a few keyword phrases per page.You cannot optimize a page with 20 different keyword phrases. If your site can target many different keywords, spread them out across several pages. If you try to bunch them in all on one page, not only will you sound obviously like you’re trying to stuff your keywords but you’ll also have the adverse effect on your rankings. The search engines will not know exactly what term to rank you for out of so many so you will have worse rankings.

Best Regards, SHAHRUL RIDZUAN ARSHAD

Jingle bells, MEFeK 2008 is round the corner...

2008-01-27T01:45:00.002+08:00

Yahoo, MEFeK 2008 is round the corner, from the informer, this year MEFeK 2008 will be held on March, middle of March i think. MEFeK is the abbreviation of Majlis Eksekutif Festival Kajai and it is the annual activity for Kajai residents. Every students in Kajai must take part in either MEDiK or MEFeK in order to stay in Kajai (the rules says if you want to stay, you must be active in either parties) till you finishes ur studies. I was one of them, back to first year, i and my colleagues; zahir, yuse and others (sorry cant remember names lately) was in MEDiK team. We were striving to do our best to make sure our status of accomodation in Kajai can be continued for the coming semesters. It was really funny conducting such event-MEDiK is meant for College Annual Dinner where all preparations must be done earlier, MEFeK on the other hand, meant for Annual Family Day for Kajai-rians, where we -smuggle-(kidding), importe outside vendors to participate in our festival-selling and promoting their products. Ok, that was in my first year, and during my second year at kajai, i joined MEFeK 2007-3G-Gegar, Gempak, Glamor. Why did i shift to MEFeK? i also dunt have the answer but my intuition made my way to MEFeK 2007 team. It was so memorable working as Pengarah Publisiti dan Penerbitan (Publicity and Publishing Director) and assisted by my beloved fren, Miss Barvina-beware, she is law student and I alwiz be defeated by her words when it comes to human rights- men and women la. Anyway we did our job splendid and fabulously till the other colleges started to immitate my artworks-they stole my concepts, but still worst-like crap, hahaha. not angry but happy to see others copy-cat-ting my ideas onto their thoughts and yet, not impressed at all, like my first artwork when i was in standard 5. sorry for them. no offense. wana wrap up, zzz dy, (actually im working on my research project and yet no idea popping in my thought), so i hope to see the wonderful of MEFeK 2008, hopefully this year is better than the previous. ok bye...Best Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Wireless Technology calling...

2008-01-27T01:13:00.001+08:00

Hi guys, this time i would like to share with u about the wireless technology since i was one of the participants of the workshop at MCMC Cyberjaya Malaysia. What is wireless technology? What is the carrier and the barrier out of this? I was shocked that Malaysia posseses range of wireless spheres (as i am language student so i dont pay attention about knowing and reasoning the science terms very much- i used to be science stream student but since the advent of wireless technology, i kind a lost of wire, hahaha). Ok, lets talk about wireless technology in Malaysia. There are multi-level of wireless channels can be found here as respective channel plays their role to make people's life better and easier. Channel for computer usage, if im not mistaken can be found at 140 mhz layer. 140 above is meant for transmission of radio telecommunication activities; eg maxis, celcom, digi, migi(ada ke?-hahaha) and so on la. Why my pic is here and not the image of wireless tech displayed? aha, this pic taken by kak normah during the MCMC workshop, and after that we intentionally officiated the tea-time session for that day-hahaha, so funny. Nice isn' it? Ya it was nice but kind a boring la because the person keep pronouncing about megahertz, kilohertz until i nearly fell asleep tera-hertz-ly. K la...got to go...need to update my thesis. Best, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad

The Joy Plan

2008-01-25T19:52:00.001+08:00

Dear respective readers, in this posting, i would like to invite you all to watch my new movie-now-showing ie "The Joy Plan". This movie casts by the leading hero in most outstanding hollywood movie streamlines, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad and the other not-so-good-in-filming characters; "Ngade-ngade-la" plays by wawa, the auntie-angie by angie and the papa-willy, of course la by William. The story starts when Shahrul has finally managed to piece together the once-broken parts of his life, maintaining a balance between his relationship with his career. More and more challenges arise for him as his friends Ngade-ngade-la, auntie-angie and papa-william have set out for an outing-joy-plan as his classes finished. The Joy Plan could not be done when somehow ngade-ngade-la missing in action in her own college-tun hussein onn. Her best fren, "Si Pah nape-la" reports the missing of ngade-ngade-la to Shahrul and papa-willy and they quickly find a way to trace her back as the night before she was in great ill-major-gastric condition and "Si Pah nape-la(with the right intonation)" really makes Shahrul and papa-willy hay-wired al day long. All hope seems lost when suddenly "Si Pah nape-la" found "Ngade-ngade-la" was enjoyingly watching SPA-Q at the common room as we struggled to find her in such obstaclely. Terrificly, she...want more? get it originally from the authorized vendor distributor.hahaha. joking ya fren, no offense. Ha, lets continue the story, after that, we went to Hentian Kajang to buy ticket as Alwani wanted to go back to her hometown, so many questions clouding in her mind, to go bek by bus (la) or air asia (ke), and finally she decided (with her manje lips) to go by bus and asked me to send her back on 31st Jan which is on thursday 10am and i replied, must wake me up at least at 6am, else commuter is ready to serve you, hahaha. and after that, we went to angie's and the night started when we arrived at Kajang Town with the pure intention to watch movie - WANTED, but as we stepped inside, all shops and kiosks were on closing time. So we decided to wander around metro plaza. Next, is our makan2 time. We went to Hj Samuri Sate Kajang, i ate bihun goreng basah, alwani with her nasi goreng ayam tak sedap, angie, nasi goreng pataya keras and william on diet-konon. The funny thing was, my bihun fell on the table and luckily didnt fall in william's drink, else he has to drink the coca cola with the bihun goreng basah flavor, nice isnt it? hahaha. And si alwani keep making her sulking-manja(manje la) mouth and utters shah-low RUL-rising tone and wil-low tone and LIAM-rising tone. hahaha. I was wondering if she cud do it in front of her supervisor(her sv is Puan Azizah) like this "Ala, Puan Azizah" wat a wonderful of alwani as her name means colourful, splendid tone. hahaha. The joy plan was not in the right time when our member si nor latiffah didnt come with us. hahaha. anyway, alwani bought (bought?-remember tak?) her a nice-orange bag to balik kampung together2 la. Suke la? and we went back to ukm. ok la, stop here. so tired la, best regards. Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad

After all businesses were completely done

2007-12-22T23:12:00.000+08:00

Dr Supyan and me during the ekom national seminar: malaysia's initiatives

Me, Kak Normah (the grumpy...hahaha)Datin Dr Norizan (my sifoo/boss), Pn Zaini, Azirah and Pn. Kemboja (as sweet as her name...hahaha)

Hi out there, am updating my blog. So, hows life going on? Mine? My life is completely done after the national seminar, which i was one of the committee member holding position of Technical and Multimedia Committee, and the most important thing, i was the parallel presenter for the parallel session presenting my paper about E-MECT: An Online Language Testing Kit. E-MECT is actually derived from MECT. E-MECT and MECT stands for what? No idea? ok...it is a kit of language testing which employs conventional method of testing; i mean, it is using paper-n-pencil method for MECT testing. MECT is an abbreviation of Malaysian English Competency Test and E-MECT stands for Electronic Malaysian English Competency Test. E-MECT employs 100% of computer technology embedding computer adaptive test and one of the example of CALL, Computer Assisted Language Learning. MECT and E-MECT was driven and initiated by my sifoo, Assoc Prof Datin Dr Norizan Abdul Razak with her E-Community Research Center team. MECT and E-MECT has won many awards namely Best Paper Award (SEAIRR 2006), Malaysian Technology Expo 2007 (Silver Medal), ITEX 2007 (Silver Medal) and more. Why am i mentioning about academics here? It is because MECT and E-MECT is my area in which i will be doing my research on online language testing to improve or enhance language literacy/competency. Back to UKM, last week, i and my colleagues were working hard on a manual translation. It took a week to translate the manual, including translation, editing, revision and QCed. But after that, the burden flew away , so far away from me, as i had to stay in ukm for the AidilAdha, in order to complete the manual translation. So sad couldnt spend my time with my family. Hahaha...bye for now. Till then, Raya Regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

Miss Wan's workplace

2007-11-09T19:48:00.000+08:00

Hi, we meet again. For this posting, as the title shows you about the picture, it is Kak Wan, my long-long-time counterpart, and now she is one of my boss; from UKM to business world. Haha, but Kak Wan still with her soft-kind-hardworking-attitude type of person. We are always fighting with each other in terms of work. Ok thats it, cant tell the story further, else she will get mad, hahaha. Sorry ya kak wan, publicized you here. The end. Ok, today we got two brand-new computers and one flat-higher-end LCD monitor. Cool man. cant tell you the degree of my thought. Both of us were amazed and shocked, speechless. hahaha. Kak wan with her brand-new computer, replacing the old-brand computer that she used to work with. Da malay's proverb; "dah dapat yang baru, yang lama ditinggalkan"- such a nice words-kan. And today, we were really busy arranging, replacing and moving the computers, because of the brand-new computers. Pity them (the old-fashion-type computers). After that, we went to the food stall near the office to have our tea-time; together with our dinner. And I ate Bihun goreng with teh tarik-so damn tasty-licious, and kak wan, with her most-favorite-food, sup ekor and barli panas. Later, kakwan sent me back to my place, and we stopped by at Watsons as kak wan wana buy her stuff, guess what, hahaha....cant tell you....else, she will get mad.....no worries the secret is safe with me....then, im here, alone; as usual. haha.

My Working Place

2007-11-09T00:08:00.000+08:00

Hi out there, today's posting is short and compact, as i am very busy to finish up my works; designing, exams, website, and etc. hahaha, 24 hours are not enough and sufficient for me. I need more time to complete my works, as i could have the power to extend the time from 24 hours to 24hours++...isnt it cool? However, as a human, we cant deny and rebuff the norms of life as it is predestined to be. We shud be thankful and grateful to Allah s.w.t for it, as Malaysia is already 50 years celebrating the indepence and stand tall with the other first world countries, and one of the main issue to be pointed here is the angkasawan, the man who went to the ISS; this really proved that Malaysia Boleh!!! hahaha, at the beginning, i stated that wana cut short this posting, but after my fingers hit on the qwerty-keyboard, its started to hit and hit the alphabets drastically. I dont have the freedom to stop them. hahaha. Ok lets continue, at this moment, am struggling to finish up my works. My eyes cant stand the burden more, sleep, sleep and take a gud rest. hahaha...hey...wait a minute, works will never ends. The picture above shows my workplace, so miserable and so-called messy. Il clean it up before my bosses come. hahaha. So funny of me. Ok then, wana continue my works. Till then, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.

My artworks

2007-11-08T15:53:00.000+08:00

This is Alwani's love. She shows her love via images. "Love between two continents" she said. hahaha. Alwani2-Beng's best friend. So funny la. This eiffel tower is their promises; maybe one day they want to go for a vacation; perhaps honeymoon. hahaha. To alwani, you can go there in ur own made-dream, no one can dreaming like you. Hahaha.

This one shows that she is really2 missing someone. Who could it that be? Me? What? Missing Me? Haha..next time alwani shud poss like a model...not a statue-like; McD and KFC mascot. Hahaha. This picture was taken during the 3rd sem-after the last paper. We went to Jusco and Mines for shopping purposes. Alwani and Beng bought so many stuff, ie, no ie. Lazy to type. U ask them urself later k.

Ha, the moment that we r waiting for is here. Presenting, Madam Alwani Faridam, the most vouge-not camera shy-and etc girl ever....hahaha. This pic is dedicated to her love la, not for public ya...remember that..hahaha.

Thinking of you? Or perhaps thingking of me instead? She is possing as if she wants to B***K right? hahaha. so funny of Alwani-Miss Arezou said that Alwani means Colourful, is it colourful? It is colurful of Alwani as I had received so many reasons and excuses from her, ie, this time i must list it down, shahrul, kaki aku bengkak la, shahrul, perut aku sakit la, shahrul, semalam aku jatuh tangga la, shahrul and shahrul....hahahaha....Alwani2-Beng's best friend in KTHO UKM.

Twins? No lah. They are not biologically twins. They are two best friends in KTHO UKM also; Beng is the PPBL coursemate;hahaha, dunt be mad ya beng, if u get mad, ur face will look like a balloon, so cute and adorable, like my cat...hahaha....Ok, tipah is alwani's friend. She is from FEP, our long-time FSSK-FEP enemy. haha, kidding. Did u guys realize that tipah looks like Mia-the actress in Anak Pontianak; which is so pretty? Haha, if not, u shud watch that muvi ya...

Ok now i wud like to wrap up this posting as i have another urgent-commitments. This pic exemplifies two best friends; which are Nur Alwani Faridam and Christina Ong Sook Beng. They are coursemates, me too; the english-the queen's english-how are you today? hahaha. In fact, Beng is the most outstanding student at the school in terms of her results, and etc. For me, her appearance-chubby-not so fat-looking is nice to see but she doesnt like when i pronunce; "Beng your pipi cantik la when u get angry" and she will respond me with "U punya kepala, pukol kang, baru tau, x mau makan sudah, gemok macam ---censored--- n etc" hahahaha. Beng2. Alwani's best friend. Till then, best-friendship regards, Shahrul Ridzuan Arshad.
