昨天去拜了清明,
大多数人都是一大清早去拜,
我们却是中午才出门..
1点多出门,去TUDM附近的福建山(好像是)的千佛禅寺,
拜我外公的妈妈(叫什么去了,突然想不到),
到那边2点多,只有2,3个家户,烟也少了,
不然每次去都会一直流眼泪,beh tahan...
说不信又不能,我们上香时舅舅去park车,
结果他没上香,请求祖先来时一直都请不到,
然后他去上香后才请到..
大概拜到4点,我们就离开去semenyih富贵山庄,
很喜欢去那边,去年去了一次,
才知道他们说的风水是什么意思,
环境超美,可是昨天应该是太迟去,
超晒的咯.
还记得去年我们一到,就有工人拿伞给我们,
那种大大个的伞,今年不懂做么,
没有这个服务了,还要我们到处去找,
而且找到4个回来,哈哈
5点多开始拜,饿到半死了,早上11点多吃到那时候,
结果等到差不多6:30，终于拜好了,才可以吃..
而且还看到一边太阳一边月亮出来了,
第一次注意,其实还蛮美的...
7点离开,本来以为可以直接回家的,
妈妈说要去外婆家看外婆(由于外婆脚不方便所以没出来),
因为下星期要去动手术了,
结果从semenyih驾车去klang,
睏到半死,驾车都要很专心..
大概8:30到外婆家,
刚刚好earth hour,我们就关灯,
躺在沙发上都一直流汗,
表妹还有心情那边玩...
9:30离开回家,到家10:30，
算一算,就酱一天都花了14块在toll，
超多的咯, 过toll过到我心痛,
钱就酱没有了..
下星期下johor，
2nd round..

Creative Thinking & Problem Solving
Will share what I've learned from the workshop attended yesterday. It's about creative thinking & problem solving. There are 4 main points in helping us solve problems around us. Thinking differently from others doesn't mean we're 'out' from the group. Everyone is special, we have our own thinking and we think differently. Being 'wanted to be in the group' doesn't make you special, it makes people wants to be like someone else, just to feel welcomed. Below are 4 points which will help us think creatively to help solving problems, anytime and anywhere.
1. Functionality
Restructure a problem whenever you encounter one. Think of the functionality, broaden up the view. For example, how do you remove water from a glass, without touching or holding the glass? There are many answers for this, some might answer using a spoon, using a straw, using a sponge, using vacuum, filling up the glass with stones and bla bla bla. In fact, there are many other ways to solve it. Restructure the question: how do we move liquid? The answers can be amazing!
2. Resources
Resources are things that are available but not properly used. Resources can be good resources, as well as bad resources. To solve a problem, we must think of the resources that is currently available, not to think of external resources that needs extra costs. Example given by Mr. Farooq is McDonalds. Why is McD still so popular around the world. Looking at what do people want when they enter a restaurant: they want good food, hot food and definitely fast and good service. That's how McDonalds came out with the idea of letting people serve themselves, providing fast and self-service.
3. Idealistic
Idealistic means start thinking with the ideal final result of the problem. When you come across a problem, think of that results you want to achieve. From there, you can think of the possible solutions to achieve it. After analyzing, there will definitely be a final ideal solution for everything.
4. Contradiction
Customer's requirements nowadays are getting important. They want quality but inexpensive, they want something big but small (will explain on this later), and bla bla (suddenly can't think of other examples). Example given for the above situation (where people wants something big, but small), is handphone. When JT asked what do we want for our mobile phones nowadays, people answered: small size, big screens... bla bla bla... So how do people create mobile phones which is small but big screens? Forget about iPhones, forget about touch screen phones. Samsung, has came out with a phone, which acts like a projector. The Samsung W7900 projector phone. A phone which allows people to project their screens to any surface wherever they want! Cool huh? FYI, Samsung is now the 2nd top ranking in the world with the most patent items registered.
Well, don't really know how to 'translate' the knowledge I've learned yesterday to this blog. Hope you guys understands what I'm writing here.
Some videos are played during the tea break. It's been so long since I last hear this song. Enjoy it, and save the earth!
Earth Song - Michael Jackson
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Hey, what about yesterday (What about us)
What about the seas (What about us)
The heavens are falling down (What about us)
I can't even breathe (What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth (What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds (What about us)
What about nature's worth ooo,ooo)
It's our planet's womb (What about us)
What about animals (What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust (What about us)
What about elephants (What about us)
Have we lost their trust (What about us)
What about crying whales (What about us)
We're ravaging the seas (What about us)
What about forest trails (ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas (What about us)
What about the holy land (What about it)
Torn apart by creed (What about us)
What about the common man (What about us)
Can't we set him free (What about us)
What about children dying (What about us)
Can't you hear them cry (What about us)
Where did we go wrong (ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why (What about us)
What about babies (What about it)
What about the days (What about us)
What about all their joy (What about us)
What about the man (What about us)
What about the crying man (What about us)
What about Abraham (What was us)
What about death again (ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn

Hasn't been updating this blog for quite some time, it doesn't mean there's nothing interesting happened these few days, was just too lazy to update as i have another blog to update (ahem.. secret ^^).
So I should start with my finals, of course! Stats paper was OK for me, but not for others, as most of them doesn't have time to finish it. Some went to the office to complaint but the reply was "wait for after finish marking and moderation and stuff and we'll see how". Wtf?? What a GREAT reply from the head of school! If no action is taken, some might write articles to newspapers, so they better do something!!
As for Software Engineering 1 paper, as expected, I screwed up the paper. Even left 2 question completely empty, which falls in the compulsory part. I've passed the subject from the coursework, so nothing to worry about failure, it's just that I'm sure I couldn't get an A for this.
That's all for exam part.
Went for a workshop today which is held in college. This is actually organized by LEAP, which is in charged by the Students Services Department. Today's topic is Critical Thinking & Problem Solving. Whole LT only Budi and I are from SCT, others mainly study accounts and business. The presenter is from Farooq Consultancy, a guy from England who started this consultancy firm in Malaysia. His presentation and talk inspires me a lot. We are taught how to think differently and innovatively. Great guy giving great speeches!
p/s: miss you so much, better take care of yourself well ok? Don't get me worried ok?
Counting down 23 days^^
