Emotion & Feeling

Ohh the 'V' Day is around the corner...
I should be more relaxed...
Never stop motivating myself...
I'm finding the best way to present my work...
I'm praying for the best...

InsyaAllah....

Jalan-jalan and Shopping

Salam all...after berpenatan sepanjang last weekend, travelling from KL to Ipoh to my sis-in-law house and back to Ipoh and KL, badanku ini terasa amatla penat...plus sempat jugak buat presentation slides for the 'V' Day...and also baca thesis drafts of final year students...hehe...

Mase on the way to my sis-in-law house, my father-in-law tanye, 'Aliaa tak pening ke membaca dalam kereta?'...hehe...sebenarnye dah terbiasa...I still ingat kata2 my lecturer, Assoc. Prof. Dr.Hussain Salleh...dia kata supervisor dia masa kat US dulu ckp, kene biase kan diri membaca walau kat mane kite berada termasukla dlm kereta...wlpn pening, but u must get used to it...hehe...so kawan2, rajin2 la membaca k...supaya otak kita sentiasa diasah and masa kite tak terbazir macam tu saje...(^_^)v...

Smlm dari Ipoh, sempat singgah kejap kat Jakel Simpang Pulai beli kain...pastu terus gerak balik KL...lepas tu anta my mom-in-law kat Plaza Hotel KL sbb dia ada kursus...lepas check-in, bawa dia ke Sogo beli makanan...So hubby and me canceled our plan nak shopping barang2 dapur kat Jusco...instead, kami beli kat Sogo jer...hehe...lepas anta mak mertua balik ke hotel, kami terus balik rumah kat UPM...bagi ikan makan jap (sbb risau kot2 diorang mati ke ape kan) and amik parcels kat luar rumah (they're mine of course...:p...)...lepas tu terus ke suatu tempat yg baru buka di Bangi before heading to my mom house in Cheras...heheheh...dah lame diriku menanti pembukaan kedai ini.....Tadaaa...

Ini dia Ariani Gallery yg baru saje dibuka kat Bangi...lepas ni senangla org2 kawasan sini nak pegi...tak payah pegi KL punye...last week I went to Ariani Mutiara Damansara...alang2 pegi IKEA, pegi terus la ke Ariani cawangan sane...gune GPS lagi...haha...nasibla hubby ku ini sporting sgt...(^_^)...dekat sane dah tapau beberapa helai...so kat Ariani Bangi ni saye beli 2 -tone chiffon plain shawl and inner tudung...hehe...dpt diskaun 12% sebab dah jadi member mase kat Damansara...Ini dia set inner and shawl yg saye beli...sebijik mcm ni sebab saye nak yg sebijik mcm patung ni pakai...sbb stok utk both inner and shawl ni dah abis...hehe...so staf dia kena la buka tudung kat patung ni...kuikuikui...

Selepas bersungguh2 'menuntut ilmu' dgn staf2 nye cara2 nak pakai shawl, baru la melangkah keluar kedai...hari tu dah blaja kat Damansara tapi saje je seronok2 nak suruh diorg ajar...hehe...ok...kali ni hasil tuaian sikit je...sbb dah byk dah koleksi...saje nak try Ariani punye...:-)...

Last 2 weeks beli tudung full lycra A****i...but I'm very dissapointed with the quality of the jahitan dkt awning tudung...tak kemas...and the material used is fair in quality...I've tried other brands before..Sri Munawwarah, DeZahra and Nur Barakah...I can recommend that DeZahra quality is better than A****i...DeZahra full lycra tudung is much2 better...the quality of the material is really good...and you'll look really nice when u wear it...I've recommended it to my friends also...sesiapa yg belum penah try tudung DeZahra, u can try...then u can compare the quality with A****i...FYI, I will send my A****i full lycra for repair...haha...nasibla ada sorang Sis ni baik hati nak repairkan...Thanks Kak...:-)...smlm tgk full lycra kat A****i Bangi pun same jugak jahitannye...so mmg diriku ini tidak tersalah beli la hari tu...

Latest personal research saye ialah terhadap brand2 tudung yg terdapat kat Malaysia ni...hehehe...lepas ni bole buat review pasal semua2 tudung2 ni...DeZahra, Sri Munawwarah, Hajaba, Ariani and Nur Barakah...cewah mcm nak tulis review paper anta kat journal pulak..hehe...and not to forget other D.I.Y tudung yg kualiti nye mmg setanding and lagi baik dari yg butik punye...so my friends, we need to spend our money in the smartest way...beli yg kualiti tinggi dengan harga berpatutan...:-)...tudung butik ni mmg mahal...tapi pandai2 la k...beli yg termampu ok la...just to try and have personal experience on it...:-)...

Ok...that's all...wanna continue working on my presentation slides...Daa...

p/s: nanti Ariani nak buka cawangan Shah Alam...Congrats to Sharifah (my friend) sebab dapat jadi model sementara Ariani for TV promotion...I'm happy for you babe...:-)...

Puan Aleya Recent Activities...

Salam...dah lama rasenye tak tulis entry baru...quite bz recently...rite now I'm preparing for my Master's Viva (Defence) that will be held on 6th May 2009....dupdapdupdap...After 2 years struggling for the best, now it's the time to present and defend my work...

I'm not pushing myself too hard..just relax and browsing thru my thesis leisurely...I've been focusing on this thesis for about two years...and I feel that now is not the time to crack my brain anymore for everything is in place...the objectives of my study; the design of machine; the optimization of enzymatic clarification (I've been dedicating my soul for this chapter for quite a long time...this is the thickest chapter in my thesis...it has contributed 3 journals for me so far...alhamdulillah); development of process flow sheet and finally the conclusions and recommendations for future research...alhamdulillah...I managed to synchronize all the chapters well to become a thesis...

Yesterday I have marked the exam papers of Process Plant Design course taught by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nordin...he asked me to help him mark the papers and I agreed without any hesitation...although I'm still in my study leave, I was more than happy to help him...I'd helped him last year to teach this subject...although I'm just a tutor, but I was honoured that he gave me a chance to join him advising the students about the projects that he gave them...this was my favourite subject during my undergraduate studies and i did my final year project on the design and development of food processing plant under his supervision...He is my idol...He is the best in his area...I'm honoured to work with the founder of my course, Process and Food Engineering...:-)...

I think he will get the Professor title very soon...tau la UPM kan...byk requirements yg harus dipenuhi...I'm very happy to hear that Dr. Chin Nyuk Ling skrg ni dah jadi Ir. Dr. Chin Nyuk Ling...soon akan tambah title Associate Professor kat dpn tu...antara lecturer perempuan yg berjaya di usia semuda 33 tahun I guess...She is my role model too...:-)...She is my super senior...grad hujung 1990-an rasenye...siapa kate food engineer tak bole dpt Ir...Ir. Dr. Chin has proved it!!!..(^_^)v...

Ok back to the story...Marking exam papers is not an easy task...it's very challenging...every student answered the questions differently...the dedicated students answered them correctly while the not-so-dedicated student, ya ampunnn....mcm2 jawapan...like they never studied this subject since the very beginning of this course...hmm....yg buat careless mistakes pun ada...padahal bole dapat full marks...yg confuse dgn the methods of calculations pun ada...but I'm very proud of the students who scored full marks in that papers...Process Plant Design is quite a challenging topic...it requires u to think and analyse the situation given before you proceed with the calculation...byk method yg bole digunakan...that's why byk student yg confuse...but I believe that in everything that we do, if we are crystal clear about our objective and mission, we'll not get lost in our journey...:-)...

OK....petang ni nak gi office jap anta balik semua kertas kat Dr. Nordin...and start to do the presentation slides...hehe...weekend ni nak lawat my sister-in-law kat Perlis...so need to plan and organize my schedule...i plan to check a thesis draft of one final year student this weekend jugak...so harus mendisiplinkan diri supaya dpt siapkan semua kerja...bagus jugak kat kolej ni tak dpt buka ym skrg...kurangla sikit distractions..hehe...

OK...Till then...Wassalam....

Tioman Island Part 1...

Salam all...i feel that it has been a long time since my last entry...hehehe...so today, on a peaceful Wednesday morning, i wish to write up something on my 'vacation' to Tioman Island...

I went to Tioman Island last Thursday...this was Tenth College activity so all the MTM (Majlis Tertinggi Mahasiswa) and all the staffs were going there...we headed to Mersing jetty since we needed to take a ferry to go to Tioman Island...

In the bus

At around 8.45 p.m., we departed for Mersing by UPM buses...wehehe..dah lame tak naik bas UPM...dulu same dgn kwn2...skrg dgn suami...:p...we arrived at Mersing jetty at 1.30 a.m...after going thru such a challenging journey...huhuh...the bus driver took the Bukit Putus-Kuala Pilah-Muadzam Shah-Mersing route...jalan lama!!!!...jalan dekat Bukit Putus tu, ya ampunnnn...berpusing2..ade yg nearly 360 degree tau!...cuakk je semua org...huhuhu...ramai jugak yg pening2 kepala sbb bas melantun2...just imagine the conditions of the roads...amatla sempit dan tak sekata...despite all the challenges, we managed to arrive at the jetty..alhamdulillah...:-)...

At Mersing Jetty

We went to Tioman Island by ferry at 3 a.m. in the morning and arrived there at 5 a.m..sepanjang 2 jam tu, semua org tido..sebab tak dpt tido sepanjang dlm bas...almaklumla mcm naik roller coaster kan...although i dont know how it feels like naik roller coaster since i'm penakut!!!...haha...

The first place yg berpenghuni kat pulau tu is Kampung Genting...chalet kami terletak kat Kampung Genting...tempat lain mcm Pulau Tekek, semua jauh lagi...dlm 20 minutes jarak melalui laut...sesampainye kat Kampung Genting, hujan renyai2 menyambut kedatangan kami (cewahh ayat)...dah hampir subuh dah waktu tu...keadaan amatla gelap...tapi dlm kegelapan tu, tetap nmpk kejernihan air laut tu di bawah sinaran bulan sepanjang kami berjalan atas jambatan di jeti tu...bayangkan betapa jernihnye air laut tu...:-)...

Kami menginap di Genting Bayu Chalet...mula2 masa dah jejak darat, ingatkan terus sampai chalet..but the first building yg kami nmpk was Balai Raya Kampung Genting in front of us and Klinik Desa Kampung Genting...where is the chalet??? semua budak2 dah tanye2 sesama sendiri...yg dah penah smpai kat situ is Dr.Azlizam (pengetua kolej 10)....he told us that we need to walk 500m from there to the chalet...what???..setengah kilo tu berjalan...maka berkilo2 la kalori yg terbakar...lucky us (me and my hubby) for packing our stuffs in a backpack...kalau yg bawak beg roda ala2 akademi fantasia tu, mmg 'selamat' la...hehe...kena lalu jalan kecik...kawasan yg berhutan...titi kecik...semua tu dilalui dlm keadaan yg samar2...ada lampu sikit je sepanjang jalan...bayangkan...agak horror gak la waktu tu...hehe...

At last we managed to arrive at the chalet...lepas dah diberi brief expalanations and given the room key, all of us went to our rooms, solat subuh and tido terus...i decided not to go for breakfast at 8 a.m. since i prefer sleeping to eating...hehe...so we woke up at 12.30 p.m....puasla tido...mandi and went for lunch...bile dah siang baru la nmpk keseluruhan...although the chalet was not grand as other chalets or resorts or hotels, but the facilities were sufficient...it nestles in the humbleness of Kampung Genting...very2 basic and simple place to live in...I kept thinking how does it feels to live in this place...hmmm...

Chalet

The sea view

Btw, maxis langsung takde coverage kat situ...yg ade hanye Celcom saje...full bar lagi...Digi Bersamamu pun takde line!!!...haha...i can't stand the situation where my handphone is not 'functioning'...i kept babbling to hubby on how i can't live without my handphone functioning for 3 days until Sunday...huhu...at last I asked one of the village girl who works at the chalet where can i get a Celcom simpack...haha...rupenye kat kedai depan sekali sebelah Balai Raya...malam semalam tak nmpk mcm ade kedai pun kat situ...semua tutup kan pukul 5 pagi...hehe...

Tgh berjalan2, nmpk motor SpongeBob ni...so cute!

So hubby pun teman la jalan kaki ke kedai to buy the simpack..hehe...baru la nmpk kwsn tu keseluruhan...hehe...mmg kecik je laluan...kereta mmg takde langsung kat situ...motosikal je ade...kami pun beli la makanan ringan sikit, tgk2 souvenirs kat kedai and balik chalet..

Selamat Datang ke Kampung Genting, Pulau Tioman

Sila tgk map...jauh tu jarak antara jetty dgn Genting Bayu Chalet...

The first day there weren't much activities to do...hubby went for snorkelling with the students and staffs..and isteri2 dudukla bersembang di tepi pantai..hehe...rase mcm pelik la...dulu mase student bole la buat perangai budak2...tapi sebab dah kawin, kena behave la...baru la sedar yg i'm getting older...hehe..wlpn ade je budak2 K10 yg lagi tua dari kami, tapi tetap ade perbezaan since we're married and budak2 tu still bujang...hehe...

Lepas tu ade sukaneka utk budak2...bukan anak staff ye...tapi budak2 K10...hehe...diorg sgtla happening...seronok je tgk....semua lelaki and sgtla bising menceriakan keadaan...:-)..tergelak jugak tgk diorg...they should enjoy that beautiful moment together...sbb bila dah graduate nanti, keadaan dah lain sikit...hehe...

Waktu mlm, lepas dinner ade opening ceremony...lepas tu saye pun balikla bilik...all the students still ade aktiviti diorg sendiri...i chose to sleep early since we will be going for island hopping on the next day..yeehaa...:p..

I will post a new entry on the island hopping later...need to do some house chores and baca journal...petang nanti nak pegi office jap...KPM's external examiner dtg from USA..Prof. Dr. Daryl B. Lund...I'm so excited to meet him!!!..till then ya...tata...

My Recent Activities....

Salam...entry ni terhasil utk hilangkan rasa mengantuk yg teramat sgt time tgh menaip proposal tadi...hehe...tgh hari nanti nak pack barang2...mlm ni nak bertolak ke Tioman Island..ade family day utk staff kolej 10...my husband is one of K10's fellow...hehe...so berjalan free la ni kirenye...:p..

Last week we went to Malacca because hubby had seminar there...sikit je gambar yg diambil...one of them is the picture below...time tgh nak lunch...hehe...

Asik makan je bile pegi kursus...mmg menggemukkan...hehe...

Memandangkan nak pegi Pulau Tioman ni, kite kena la pakai kasut yg sesuai...bukanla heels or wedges seperti yg biase saye lakukan before ni...hehe...kasut sport lame zaman student2 dulu dah terkoyak...jadi mesti la ada kasut baru utk pakai kat kawasan pantai nanti...hehe...so yesterday hubby and me went to al-ikhsan Bangi to buy shoes for me...hehe..

Kasut kami...:-)...

Tapi dlm gambar ni ade 2 kasut...kasut sebelah lagi tu saye hadiahkan utk hubby for his birthday...wlpn dah lepas dah birthday dia and already gave him a pair of boot, but surprised!!!..hehe...both of these shoes are from Adidas brand...wlpn kasut saye tu tak mcm kasut sport,tapi ok la kan...sekurangnye bole bawak jalan2 lain kali...hehe...sebenarnye tak berape minat nak beli sport shoes...:p...

Utk org yg amat susah utk pilih kasut mcm saye ni sbb bukan semua kasut saye bole pakai, kasut ni saye rase sesuai sbb tapak dia ada foam yg dipanggil FitFoam yg dpt support tapak kaki saye yg cepat sakit...huhu...sebelum ni, pakai wedges from Bata je sbb itu paling sesuai since tapak dia dipanggil ComFit...ni pun lembut je...selain tu, saye ade jugak Crocs wedges & Lewre sandal yg bertapak lembut...hehe..itu saje la kasut2 saye...tapi yg paling slalu pakai, Bata tu la...hehe...at least dpt berjimat dari satu segi...:p...

OK...kat bawah ni adalah gambar tudung kegemaran saye dari jenama deZAHRA...tudung ni ada dua tone warna...kainnye jenis baldu...sgt lembut and selesa dipakai...moreover, colour tudung ni akan nmpk berbeza dari angle2 yg berlainan bile kena cahaya...hehe...warna sebenar dark purple with blue stripes...tapi kadang2 nmpk mcm hitam bergantung pada cahaya...cewahhh...description lebih2 lak..ape2 pun, ni tudung favourite saye..:-)...

Tudung kesayangan saye...:-)...

Ok...yg di bawah ni pulak adalah hadiah yg saye beli for someone's birthday...hehe...she is so lovely and I wish to give this special spa collection from The Body Shop...comel je...:-)....selamat berspa kepada penerima ni...Happy Belated Birthday from me..

Special pressie for a very special woman...:-)...

OK...mata saye dah tak mengantuk lg...dah bole sambung menaip proposal...Tata all...:-)...
