My Niece Sport Day Event

Nothing much activity really when we in Malaysia, it is quite slow progress from one day to another except eating :). Luckily my beloved niece Arfina have her school sport day on 18 July 2010. It is a half day event which involved few school in Ampang area. A lot of sport taking place but she only participate in one event called "ku sarung cincin" which does sound funny to me.

However, she and her team mate did really well and bag them self gold medal. It was enjoyable day for us and most importantly Afrina having good time and not return home with an empty hand. Horayy to yellow the team!

Airasia X

Who doesn't want a cheap flight we all do ;), I would recommend Airasia if you have tight budget and pay than less £300 for both way journey. If not don't bother to fly with this Airlines the main reason is the seat space is too small and the service is a bit disappoint but don't take my word for it. Someone people find it fine but from my experience it is just average and I like MAS better. 

To endurance 13 hours flight journey with cramp sit and less choice of food sometimes no food at all is not a pleasant experience. Best example is when you purchase a ticket direct from the counter and want to fly on the same day they will charge you hell a lot of money but said that you can't book for your meal because they have catered the meal early. Then when on board the stewards say sorry  we only have sandwiches left, what a shame. 

I felt really unhappy with their service when fly from London to Malaysia.However, when a return flight I paid £20 for an extra leg room seat and book my meal and bring extra Malaysian Ringgit to buy extra food or drink later. In addition I also manage to sneak some food from home into the aeroplane.My conclusion is you get what you pay for the price however I believe Tony Fernandes can do better consider he can sponsor F1 why not invest more into his airlines business. 

Anyway me and my wife safely back in the UK and looking forward for the Ramadhan and hoping everything back to normal. Have nice weekend and enjoy the British weather everyone :D

So Sad

Hi all, 

It is been a while I haven't upload any post to this portal. I have been away for almost 20 days due to my father in-law has passed away on 8 July 2010. We received a text from my brother in-law and rushed home to Malaysia on the same day. It have been the most panic day in my life. My wife cried hysterically and I'm out of control without have any sense what to do. My only thought is to call my parents to ask a current situation back home and luckily my mom clam me down. To be honest it is the most hectic morning in my life, I did few dozens call to airlines agent try to catch as early flight as possible and the sad part is we have booked a flight ticket on the 13 July with Airasia. At the end I managed to transfer our booking however I need to pay extra cost at the desk counter later when check-in at the airport. 

My wife cried all the way from Cardiff to Malaysia, really sad to see her in that state but I know she is a strong women. We arrived next day Friday, 9 July 2010 at 5 pm Malaysia time and my parent have wait outside the LCCT airport. Then straight head to Tampin and we know we cannot catch the funeral however the most important is she need her family badly. It have been a long journey for us almost 24 hours and the most sad in our life. Nevertheless I'm glad to meet our family and their support is  precious and by looking at their faces all the difficulties we've been through is fade  away.

Here I posted a picture of my late father in-law and hope God give mercy to his soul. He is a good father, in-law and friend. The only regret is I have is I haven't got enough opportunity to know and serve him better. :(

RIP : Mazlan B. Abd Aziz

A long two week

Since last two weeks I have been work my ass off to finish up my conference paper. I would say I'm quite please with the result but still a lot of work need to be done. For the rest of these two weeks I just spent my entire time working in the High Voltage lab. Here, I attached few photo of my lab work, however I'm not going to elaborate my work due to privacy matter. Nevertheless these pictures prove how hard I've been working so far towards my entire PhD course. Hope everything going to be smooth and finish it on time.

HTC Desire Review

The weather today is a bit gloomy and chill. Hence, I decided to stay indoor and did a brief review of my latest gadget; HTC Desire. It is been a week I'm using this phone. Overall I'm really impress with the Android interface. The HTC sense is brilliant and the best bit is the phone 95% manage to guess every single word when I type my text. The screen is super bright, thanks to Amoled technology. The internet is fast when connected to wi-fi but not bad when using 3G depending on coverage network. Overall I'm really happy with Desire however, the only issue that I have is the battery life is really short. The battery hardly to sufficient for one day sometimes even half a day is struggle. This due to the application or widget drain of the battery. Nonetheless I managed to figure out how to save up the battery, so folks for more details do check out my video and hope it is useful.

Have nice week a head and hope there is going to be sun shine this weekend.
