Happy new year 2010 to all! Harap masih belum terlewat untuk diucapkan kepada semua :-)

Selamat Pengantin Baru

Selamat pengantin baru diucapkan kepada sahabat setia since darjah 6, Ahmad Hafizul dan juga isterinya Diana, yang diijabkabulkan di Ipoh pada 1 Januari lalu. Sebenarnya saya kena jadi pengapit untuk wedding n nikah Hafizul, so masa akad nikah tu, I was sitting beside him, but apasal saya pula yg nervous? hihihi.. It was a good one, and smooth. Nervous2, tersasul2 tu perkara biasa la. Atleast I gained an experience of becoming a pengapit. Yela asyik jadi emcee je untuk wedding. Haha. Ni 6hb Feb, and 27 Jun dah ada emcee jobs. Huuuuuhuuuu... Nak kena belajar banyak daripada pakar emcee wedding, Encik Ahmad Fedtri Yahya, sahabat baik yg kerap belanja makan, ajak tengok teater, show dan sebagainya.

Thanks kepada Hafizul yg provide Hotel dan makan minum di Ipoh. Anda dan Diana sangat sweet. Tak sabar nak tengok gambar2 yg Roland ambik. Hehe.

Viva oh Viva

Sebenarnya dah lama tak tulis blog. Mungkin kerana preparation menghadapi VIVA yg jatuh pada Selasa lepas, 12hb Jan 2010. Hidup memang kelam kabut menjelang VIVA. Malah, ketika VIVA dan selepas VIVA pun nampaknya kelam kabut masih dirasai. Itulah cabaran mencari ilmu. Banyak dugaan yang datang.

7 January 2010 - SURPRISE!

Myself still terharu dengan sambutan surprise birthday party yang dianjurkan oleh si lovely Aisyah, dan disokong dan Ika, Amrina dan Akram, serta kehadiran hampir semua student2 1st yr, dan beberapa student 2nd year, memang mengejutkan. Memang Aisyah plan baeeekkk punya untuk meraikan diri ini. I am so terharu. Sekitar jam 11pm I was in KAED, menjenguk2 sekitar studio final year, when Aisyah minta teman ke studio 1st year. Dengan alasan kukuh beliau mahu mengambil drawingnya yg budak 1st year pinjam. Dari jauh nampak studio agak gelap. Saya sendiri pun takut. So takpelah, temankan dia, pelik juga kenapa grill x kunci padahal biasanya kalau studio kosong, biasanya ia akan berkunci. Dah masuk studio, Aisyah minta saya buka kan lampu studio. Hah. Bila saya buka je, terkejut beruk tiba2 suara2 nakal menjerit "SURPRISE!!!!!"...nasib baik tak lemah jantung. Adoiiiii... terkejut den. Terlihatlah atas meja susunan makanan ada sate, dan birthday kek, dan minuman2. Mak aiiii...terharu gila rasa nak nangis tapi birthday boy kena control handsome sikit la. Adoi. Rasa geraaammm je kat 'awk'. Pandai ye 'awk' plan birthday surprise untuk kita...huuu..Maka x lama kemudian budak2 nakal student2 1st year ku pun menyanyikan lagu Happy Birthday & Allah Selamatkan Kamu. Fuhhhhh... Sebak di dada, tapi gembira. Yela, umur dah 27, masih ada surprise birthday party... huuuhu.. Thanks sangat2 kat semua2 yg terlibat.

Makan2 pun bermula. Tangan menggigil terharu dan tak expect akan kejadian ini. Huuuhu.. Happy dan bahagia hanya Tuhan yg tahu. Sambil makan2, tak menang tangan lah untuk reply SMS2 wishing Happy Birthday. Tidak lama kemudian akak2 final year datang joined us. Geng2 Aisyah la ni. Haza bagi hadiah Qur'an kecil. Thanks juga kepada Malin, Mas, Illia, Izzah, Hanis, Iman dan siapa lagi ek? hehe. U guys mmg cool, walaupun tengah sibuk untuk Design Thesis. Huuuuu.. Lepas makan pulak konon2nya geng2 final year ni ajak keluar kejap la katanya ada something nak bagi kat luar studio, saya pun dgn skemanya ikut la mereka hingga depan lif, tiba2 diri ini dibelasah dengan tepung2 bertubi2, entah dari mana datangnya tepung, saya pun tak tahu. Adoi. Korang buli lecturer ye?? grrrrrr..habis putih muka, dan seluar jeans ku. Nasib baik mlm tu pakai kemeja putih. Fuhhhhh...Muka pun dah mcm mayat. Habis, terfikir juga mcmana la nak balik rumah malam2 buta ni, nak melepasi Pak Guard, kang diorang lari terkontang kanting pulak tengok muka saya yang putih mcm hantu tuh.. Kelakar pun ada. Sesudah dibelasah dengan tepung, those final year nih blah macam tu je. Cessss.. Atleast provide la towel ke, air mineral ke, mata dah la pedih. Nasib baik lerr tak dicampak dengan telur ke, air gas ke..Huuuhuuuu.. Nasib baik Aisyah ada, tolong lap spek yang dah kelabu tuh. Huuuhu..Itulah kisah tepung. Jam ketika itu menghampiri 1 pagi.. Terus kembali ke studio, those 1st year menjamu Pizza pulak. Kuat makan betul student2 ku ini.. Lepas makan, ambil2 gambar, barulah saya dibenarkan pulang ke rumah. Muka putih dah dibasuh supaya Pak Guard tidak fikir yang bukan2. Hanya jeans Padini ku je yg putih2 disalut tepung. Kalau rendam dalam kuali berminyak tu boleh je jadi Jeans Goreng. haha. Apa2 pun terima kasih kepada semua. Terharu sangat2. Ingatkan 2010 dah takde surprise2 lagi. Coz last year those 2nd year student ada buat birthday party juga time saya tengah consult2 design dengan student. Huuuhu.. Korang memang nakal laaaa...dan best!! fuh...kalau nak tengok gambar, lawatilah Facebook saya, dan juga student saya Tengku Zalikha. Dia ada banyak gambar. Tapi tak payah tengok lah. Malu je, gambar muka disalut tepung. Huuuhuu..

Thanks guys, birthday yg ke 27 memang bermakna kerana dibuli oleh student. Heheheheheeeeeee.... Apa pun, 7 Januari tidak ada aktiviti sosial kerana VIVA menghampiri. Cuma sempat bersama kakak dan Ma yang kebetulan berada di Damansara, dan mereka belanja makan. Kakak saya Diann dan Dieana ajak makan cupcakes dan McDonald's dan mereka juga menghadiahkan buku dan juga kemeja hehe. Best juga jadi adik ni. Haha. Happy juga sebab Ma ada pada hari jadi. Manakala Bapak pula dalam penerbangan datang ke KL pada waktu itu. Apa2 pun terima kasih la kepada semua yang menceriakan diri ini.. You guys rawks!!! Hahaaaaaaa... 7 January memang tidak ke KAED langsung kerana masih trauma lagi dengan kejadian dibelasah tepung. Adoiiiii... Thanks to all ye!! Weeeeeeeeeeeee.... Siapa2 yg rasa nak bagi hadiah tu, sempat lagi, takkan di reject punya! hahahaaaaa..:-P

Anugerah Juara Lagu

Thank you to pengacara AJL, Ally Iskandar kerana memprovide tiket secara last minute. Tempat duduk VIP. Datang ke sana membawa teman2 iaitu Fauzi, Iqbal dan Nur Syahifa. Malam yang mengenjoykan dan alpa seketika soal VIVA. Hehehe. Jumpa juga adik Amani iaitu Hamdi yang bertugas untuk MyTV3. Hehe. AJL memang best, walaupun lapar di stadium, thanks to Syahifa kerana memprovide biskut Chipsmore dan Oreo. Enak sekali. Kali ni punya AJL memang best. Last year pun best. Last year bawak 3 sahabat wanita sebab masa tu tgh single lagi. Hehe. Tapi seat last year lagi best la sebab depan giler dgn stage. Heeeehehe.. Apa2pun terima kasih kepada abangku yg memang best pada malam itu. Gambar belum di'upload' lagi kerana semua menggunakan kamera Iqbal.

VIVA

Perasaan gundah gulana menyelubungi diri ini ketika menghampiri 12 Januari. Persediaan dibuat, powerpoint disediakan. Dan update dengan Profesor Ismawi melalui email kerana beliau berada di Sarawak atas urusan peribadi. 12 Januari memang hari yang menakutkan. Diri ditenangkan, kebetulan siang tu sahabat baik, Fedtri Yahya datang ke UIA untuk rakaman Motivasi Pagi. Sempat bersembang dan meyaksikan 1 episod yang dirakamkan. Anyhow, itu adalah untuk menenangkan diri sementara menunggu jam 2.30pm.

2pm saya dah berada di Academic Meeting Room, KAED. Persediaan dilakukan awal, guna laptop sendiri je. Harap2 tiada masalah teknikal. External panel tiba dahulu, Dr Muna. Kemudian, Dr Aniza (internal panel), Dr. Azeez dan Prof Ismawi. Saya diminta berada di luar bilik seketika sebelum dipanggil masuk untuk membuat presentation. Masih berdebar, saya mulakan presentation. 20 minit presentation, saya diminta duduk untuk sesi diskusi dan soal jawab. Mulalah pelbagai persoalan sukar ditanya satu persatu, bertubi2. Memang sudah dijangka kerana kedua2 orang panel terpilih adalah mereka yg pakar dalam Research Methodology. Tidak mampu utk saya defend kesemua soalan2 itu. Dr.Azeez minta saya lebih banyak bersuara. Prof Ismawi tidak dibenarkan berkata apa kerana memang supervisor tidak dibenarkan untuk mencelah dan berbicara. Kekuatan memang diperlukan. Hampir setiap muka surat diteliti dan di komen oleh panel2. Banyak kesalahan di'detect'. Adoiiii...Terfikir juga, adakah saya sedang membuat PhD? Huuuuhu.. Tapi tak mengapa. Bukan senang untuk dapat Masters. Dugaan dan rintangan harus dilalui. Kelaurga banyak berpesan dan berdoa. Bonda tersayang dan keluarga ada buat solat hajat, si 'dia' juga ada buat solat hajat. Prof juga ada pesan untuk banyakkan berdu'a..

Namun sebagai konklusi, pelbagai aspek harus diperbaiki. Saya lulus tapi harus membuat correction dalam masa 3 bulan. Correction yang agak detail juga. Fuuhhhh..Dugaan.. Sesudah VIVA, ramai yang menelefon, malah di PG lab juga seolah2 saya diminta buat press conference pula tentang VIVA yang baru sahaja selesai. Zie, Liza, Bebet, Hana, Tikah bersungguh2 tanya tentang apa yg saya alami. Rasa letih juga dan penat, juga kerana tidak lunch dan mengantuk. Namun kawan2 memberi sokongan, galakan dan do'a. Aiman telefon pagi2 lagi untuk wish Good Luck. Terharu sebenarnya. Tapi letih dan terkilan juga sebab mungkin tak dapat perform the best untuk viva.

Rasa down menghantui diri untuk 2,3 hari. Penat sebenarnya. Keluarga, rakan dan Aisyah sentiasa bg galakan. Panggilan drpd Bro Ramzi, Br Ruzaimi, jengukan drpd Mdm Zalin, ucapan good luck drpd Mdm Amira dan Dr Rashidi, serta Profesor Mansor dan Prof Faris (Dep. Rector), Dr Saodah, Syed Nazmi, Abg Zahar, dan lain2 pada waktu sebelum Viva bermula juga memberi kekuatan kepada diri saya untuk settlekan segala-galanya. Dr Izawati juga banyak menasihati dan minta agar correction dibuat dengan sistematik dan beliau sebagai HoD agak optimis yang saya mampu melakukannya dalam tempoh sebulan. Saya sedang mencari2 di mana yang tak kena. Anyhow, it is a learning process. Cuma terharu atas sokongan dan galakan yang diberikan. Student pun siap suruh relax dan minta dikongsi pengalaman viva itu. Thanks to Anis Fadilah dan Arinah yang minta Brother Ardi untuk chill!!!! hehee.. Love u all laah!!! Terima kasih kepada Dr Aniza dan Dr Muna atas segala komen2 yang diberi. Tak sangka pula saya present 20 minit dan Q&A berlarutan hingga 2 jam. Sesiapa yg baca ni mungkin takut nak buat Masters by research, tapi u will learn a lot. Time management is very important. My time management is very poor in this case..But i am improving myself. Harap2 du'a saya di hadapan Kaabah April lalu supaya dipermudahkan untuk saya memperoleh Masters akan termakbul, insha Allah.

Itu sahaja. Mungkin selepas ini, banyak masa diambil untuk membuat correction. So, kena kurangkan Facebook, blogspot dan sebagainya. Thanks all.

A Dolphin's Smile - by Wardina Safiyyah

Dolphins are lovely and intelligent animals and in many countries they are protected from abuse. Dolphins are not fish but mammals which suckle and care for their young for years. Records show that at least 2,700 bottlenose dolphins have been taken into captivity and 53% who survived the violent capture died within 90 days and half of them died within their first two years of captivity.

Many countries have now stopped or at least try to regulate certain guidelines with regards to the abuse of captured dolphins. However, the The Dolphins and Sea Lion Show” which features two bottlenose dolphins named Rio and Karon and a pair of sea lions called Gendon and Brad shows that Malaysia is not sensitive to the issue of the mistreatment of animals. Brought into Malaysia by LD Sports Sdn, Bhd. Rio and Karon will be hauled around from Kuala Lumpur to Penang and Johore for the next three months. Imagine the ordeal the animals have to put up with during the transportation from one place to another.

Rio and Karon are forced to perform three shows a day on weekdays and five a day on weekends and public holidays. Even human beings feel ‘tired’ if forced to work extra hours doing work they’re not suppose too. These animals have feelings, and im sure they feel the strain performing for selfish humans non stop. Unfortunately, the fact is that the dolphins face muscles are fixed, whether tired, sad or ill, the smile will always stay no matter what they’re feeling. At least humans get paid, were not trapped and confined, these dolphins? They’re fed dead fish, which they hate. Dolphins eat fresh fish not dead ones! There is absolutely no educational input to the children who make up most of the audience and the whole thing is like a circus with loud music, dancing and ridiculous jokes by the emcee of the event. At the end of each show, what seems to me like an endless number of people paid an extra MR15 to touch, kiss and take photos with the dolphins which creates high levels of stress for the animals. This contrasts very strongly with the dolphin show in Australia at Sea World, where the pools are huge and only one selected person can pat the dolphins at the end of the show. The reason? They wanted to protect the dolphin from feeling stressed. Stress causes the dolphins intestine to crumble, as a result they will die.

Rio and Karon are kept in a small tank which is clearly inadequate and inappropriate. Dolphins in nature, dive up to 150 feet and travel massive distances in the ocean. How can they do that in the tiny tank? How would you feel being trapped in a small jail like that? According to the staff, the sea lions cage is even worse. Yes they’re kept in a cage! I feel that the mistreatment of these intelligent mammals shows that Malaysia has a long way to go to really achieve developed nation status. I was absolutely disgusted at the show and came away with a feeling of revulsion. Unfortunately the coverage in the print and electronic media failed to highlight the torment and abuse these animals are subjected

Rio and Karon were abducted from the Java Sea and the so called owners or trainers in my interpretation should rightfully be called criminals. Dolphins live in pods and have a very close-knit family relation, when a family member is captured, reports states that at least one other family member will die due to stress of the separation. Captive dolphins suffer severe mental and physical stress they lose one of their most remarkable gifts, that of eco-location. This is lost in a man made construction when there is no fish to catch and their environment is featureless and redundant, it also creates unbearable noise pollution when their sonar signals bounces back at them.


This horrible and inhumane treatment of these animals will continue unless decent and humane people reading this letter take action to put a stop to it and protect these animals. These are not disposable animals for a disposable society. They are not objects to entertain us human beings. Dolphins belong in the sea, in the wild with the family.

13 December - 5am

"Hati gembira. Hanya aku dan kamu saja yang tahu kenapa. Bak kata kamu, Allah hadiahkan aku padamu, dan Allah hadiahkan kamu pada aku. Wow..."

Mungkin hadiah sempena my upcoming birthday kot. Heeeeeehe.

Quality of life. Allah gives us HEAD to think which is good and bad.

I graduated from IIUM and had my convocation in August 2007. Now it is November 2009. It has been 2 years and 3 months. Where am I, now? What are the achievements in life that I manage to get since graduated for my Bachelor's Degree?

Well. In two years, many friends got married. My classmates were around 16 people, got married within the these years. Of course 90% are the girls. Not only about marriage, but also about working. I am very afraid that I didn't get what my friends got, especially the experiences of working as an LA. Few of us into academic line, like myself. But of course my friends too, didn't get what I got, teaching experiences, doing researches to discover new knowledge and another step to another higher qualification, insha Allah. I am now knocking for a full time position with my new qualification, perhaps within few months from now. Other friends got their experiences elsewhere, but for myself, I am still here in the...kepompong in english apa hah?...I mean in KAED lah. Frankly speaking I had never feel bored, yet, at this faculty I don't know why. I just love this place and the people are nice to me. I never had enemies here, hopefully.

I think for 2010 I really need to do 'something'. In this mind frequently been thinking about to improving the quality of life. I questioned myself, for how long I will be like this. Example, for how long I will be the PT lecturer? For how long I'll be staying with friends in Taman Melati, and for how long I'll be surviving with this pay I received. (Of course I can't mention how much I earned). So next year, this Ardi Herman will turn 27. I need to change. A lot. This year I less demanding for financial assistance from brother and sisters, and parents. AlhamduliLlah. Instead, I helped out my younger ones. This year I enjoyed my life, since I am still not married yet, so I can own many new things and gadgets just for myself. Yes, bujang. So, for next year, things going to be improved again. Life has to be improved. I always tell my students and juniors to improve ourselves day by day, not worsening them. Of course we want to be a better person day by day. And for that, we should know what we are doing, and to avoid doing unnecessary things, buying unnecessary stuffs etc. And that's why Allah gave us HEAD to think which are good and which are bad. Simple.

2010 coming. Help! We have another 10 years before reaching 2020. If you have your future plan, long term or short term, feel free to share. I just need to improve things in my surroundings. Life to be more quality, in every aspect. So, 2010 will bet the year of life's improvements!

Nota ringkas.

Weeeeeeeee...we've been nice to each other and we had never been thinking to be more than what we are. Hope we understand :-) I appreciate your appearance and I wish that we will always be friends. I am happy if you're happy with your life, and vice versa hopefully. Hehe. I can't say much but somehow was shocked when people think that we have 'something' on. I understand your life, works etc, so hope you too. We've been dealing with busy-ness all the time, so perhaps we understand eachother. I will not be busy in 2010 hopefully. Mere to improving my quality of life. Oh, I enjoy knowing your family and they're all nice! So does my siblings towards you.

Maybe this gonna take time, we are still new to each other, like 5 months?? but we've been nice and close to each other. Anyhow, lets keep in touch and hopefully we don't forget each other that's all. I do have my important priority at the moment, and I believe you too in developing yourself and your career.

I will always be here. So, you know where to find me, like always!

One last thing, drive carefully your MyVi.

Hehe.

Wow...

Recently read a gossip thread in the internet. Giler ah.

sape2 ada number contact dia x?..
