Ignorance

As I had often stressed to my BEL311 students, be careful of what they write (anywhere; in their blogs or Myspace/Facebook) because one of the characteristics of written language is its permanence.

Want proof? Just click at the image in this entry. Write something like this and you will be in BIG trouble.

Subhanallah.

Selamat Berpuasa

Ramadhan is here once again.
Let's chase after the great rewards promised by Allah in this holy month.

Selamat berpuasa, everybody ;)

D'Trans Grooming Session

I found out about this event from my ex-students: Zul and Syamil (DBST Part 5) who happened to be the organizers, so I encouraged both of them to promote this event to my ACB6K2 students (since it is related with their BEL499 course). More than half of ACB6K2 students will attend the event with me.

In order to attend an interview, one have to look their very best. They have to look professional. But I'm not sure how women should prepare for this big day (in terms of proper attire and make-up). So this event basically saved my life!

Oh, and I heard that the speaker is the image consultant for the Prime Minister's wife. I'm so looking forward to this.

Anyway, here are the details of this event:

Date: 8 August 2010
Day: Sunday

Venue: LT1
Time: 8 AM - 1 PM
Tickets: RM8

If you are interested, please contact:
Ros: 012-4371988
Elina: 013-7458095

or simply register at Speaker's Corner ;)

P/S: D'Trans is also having a car wash tomorrow for only RM5 per car. And my car badly needs washing ;)

IT Support

I found this cleverly written mash-up between relationship problems and IT Support in my e-mail so I wanted to share this with all of you. Enjoy! ^_^

Dear IT Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as EPL 5.0, NBA 3.0 and ESPN 2.0. And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate

Dear Desperate,

First keep in mind; Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0.

If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Late Night Teh Tarik 6.1. Late Night 6.1 is a very bad program that will create SnoringLoudly.wav files.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 6.9.

Good Luck,

IT Support

Moving On

A new semester has arrived. A new chapter in my life. A new beginning.

I have new groups to teach this semester: BMD1D3, ISD3E1, CSD3S3 and ACB6K2.

I want to move on with my life. Therefore, the condolences have to stop. Thank you.

She's Gone

The life support machine beeped furiously.

The family members stood around the hospital bed, watching the unconscious 53-year-old mother. Even though her eyes were closed, it was transparent that she fought to stay alive. This was evident because she slowly moved her lips in a silent scream and weakly gripped her husband's hand who was in tears, struggling to whisper holy words in her ear.

The whole family were unable to hold back tears as they read the Yasin. Occasionally, they glanced helplessly at the life support machine which continued to beep noisily in the deathly silent ward. The noise grew slower and the eldest son began to fear that it is going to stop soon. But he tried to be positive; so he imagined that everything will be all right.

Eventually, just as he had feared, the life support machine grew silent. Silent tears poured down the faces of the family members. She's gone.

So much for positive thinking.

I had watched this scene before in a TV drama. I never thought that I will actually go through the same situation. And I never imagined that it would be so heartbreaking.

Tonight is the last night for tahlil. I couldn't help feeling empty :(

I will miss you, Mother. Rest in peace.

Al-Fatihah.
