From The Darkest Hours
Last night I cried.
Somehow I felt betrayed. I was let down.
I felt like bricks of old memories falling down on my head, hitting and hurting my heart, leaving an overnight pain in my chest that no words can describe. My throats tightened; I refuse to think of anything, anymore.
It takes a lifetime to trust someone, but one word destroys it all.
That's how easy life can be, yet how cruel it can get.
I refuse to think of anything anymore, thus, you I bid farewell.
*The whole story presented here is NOT, in any ways, based on true stories. Yet, somehow I think it can always be related to anyone's personal experience. You might agree, or you might not, but I request you to think about it.

How to win a Nobel Prize
Be born at the right time, go to the right place, find the right problem, work with the right people and get the right committee – Prof Sydney Brenner shares his secret to winning a Nobel Prize with TAN SHIOW CHIN.
NOBEL Prize winner Prof Brenner says he knows too much and therefore tries to forget things – this is in the conviction that the state of ignorance will lead to discoveries.
Therefore, his advice to young researchers is for them to “exploit your ignorance”. At the same time, he cautioned that “too much ignorance is not good”.
In his opinion, established scientists have too much knowledge and this prevents them from conducting basic experiments that might lead to new discoveries.
Said Prof Brenner in a light vein: “I know too much now, but I’m trying to forget things. I think I shall soon reach that wonderful state of ignorance that is conducive to discoveries.”
He was addressing young scientists and researchers at a talk organised by the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) recently in support of the government’s goal of producing a Malaysian Nobel Prize winner by 2020.
The roomful of students and lecturers listened attentatively to the Nobel Prize winner for Physiology or Medicine 2002 who also authored the book How to Win a Nobel Prize.
Prof Brenner said the same question “how to win a Nobel Prize” was asked by a Chinese student via e-mail about a month before the Nobel Prize banquet in December 2002.
Inspired by the question, he decided that his banquet speech would be about how to win a Nobel Prize.
He recalled: “The speech went something like this: First, you have to be born at the right time. Then, you have to go to the right place, for example, Cambridge.
“Then, you have to find the right problem, for example, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Then you have to find the right people to work with.
“Then you have to get the right Nobel Prize committee, with a chairman discerning enough to appreciate your work.”
Worms and mRNA
Born in Germiston, South Africa, in 1927, Prof Brenner developed a love of science early in his life.
“I’ve wanted to do science since I was three years old. I’ve always been interested in nature,” said Prof Brenner whose visit to Malaysia was sponsored by the British Council.
Entering medical school at the age of 15, he soon discovered that his passion lay in research, particularly in the area of cells and their functions.
This passion led him from South Africa to Oxford and Cambridge in the United Kingdom to Berkeley and La Jolla, California, in the United States.
It was in Cambridge that he and his colleagues, Prof H. Robert Horvitz and Sir John E. Sulston, conducted the research that led to their winning the Nobel Prize in 2002.
The Nobel committee awarded them the prize for “their discoveries concerning the genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death”.
Their research revolved around mapping out and analysing the genome of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans.
In particular, they identified the key genes involved in regulating organ development and programmed cell death, and showed that corresponding genes exist in higher species, including man.
These discoveries have led to a new understanding of the cause and progress of many diseases including cancer, stroke and neurodegenerative diseases.
While it was his work with C. elegans that won him the Nobel Prize, it is another discovery of his that constitutes an essential component of college biology textbooks the world over.
In the early 1960s, Prof Brenner established the existence of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), which carries the information contained in DNA sequences to ribosomes outside the cell nucleus that use the information to synthesise proteins in the cell.
He also demonstrated that it is the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA that determines the order of amino acids in proteins.
Along with Prof Francis Crick, one of the discoverers of the structure of DNA, Prof Brenner proposed that a single amino acid is coded for by a triplet (three nucleotides) of RNA.
Advice to young scientists
He also told his audience: “You don’t need complicated machines to do science. A lot of science can be done directly.”
According to him, the best scientists are craftsman who know how to formulate and conduct experiments.
“We live in an era of complete information overload,” he said, referring to modern technology that enables scientists to analyse objects atom by atom.
Just a list of what constitutes an object is of no use, he commented.
He advised students to “try to read the classics that teach you how to solve problems, not those that just give you a list of what there is”.
In closing, he said: “The most important thing about science is that it’s the one job that pays you to have fun.
“My children were always very resentful that they had to go to school and sit at a desk to study while daddy got to go to the lab and play.
“The other important thing is that science is a craft you have to cultivate.
“And remember, as scientists, we owe a responsibility to all living things and all humanity.”
In an earlier engagement, Prof Brenner also spoke on Humanity’s Genes at ASM’s 10th anniversary celebrations at the Institute for Medical Research (IMR).
The Nobel laureate is currently a Distinguished Research Professor with The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, and the co-chair of Singapore’s International Advisory Council for biomedical sciences.
He is actively involved in research on the genome of the Japanese puffer fish Fugu rubrips.

Talk: Dr. Klaus on Omega-3
Dr. Klaus Wahle from the Robert Gordon University Aberdeen, Scotland paid us a visit last week. He was scheduled for a talk on Tuesday but due to the water cut, it was postponed to yesterday. All of us managed to squeeze some of our time, by getting ourselves an excuse letter, to go for this once in a lifetime opportunity. It's not always we get someone from Scotland.
The talk started around 10.00 am. Started off with some intro by the MC who was Dr. Klaus' ex-student (together with his wife). Followed by the Dean's speech. Then it was the real deal.
Dr. Klaus explained the importance of omega-3. Omega-3 is a lipid. But not your everyday lipid. This is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). It's rich with double bonds, which is good for you. Unless the get hydrogenated, which would then be bad. Real bad. Omega-3 is found mainly in fish. So, stock up on your fish. But it is originally from plankton and algaes.
Dr. Klaus explained about the mechanisms involved and the advantages. I personally understood what he was saying during the first 1/2 hour. But for the next 1/2 hour, I was pretty lost. It was a wee bit to technical for me.
His talk was real good. He managed to infuse a bit of humour in it, making it even more enjoyable. And if you listen carefully, you can actually catch a bit of his Scottish accent. Apparently he's German, but he's been in Scotland so long, he said that he should be McWahle. Haha. Funny man he is.
After his talk, it was the usual Q & A session. Mostly by the lecturers. There wasn't much students anyway. During that session, we pretty much heard all sorts of English. Ranging from Japanese english to Bangladesh english, Malaysian english to God knows what else. No offence. It just shows how diverse we are, on a positive note.
The entire affair finished around 12.20 pm. There was lunch which was pretty shocking to my discovery. But I'm not complaining. We skipped Parenting class. It felt marvelous. And we'll be getting an excuse letter for that. Isn't it great when you have connections everywhere? :)
p/s: I have Dr. Klaus' picture, but I'm too lazy to use the card reader which is very troublesome. I tried looking it up on the net, but it's too small. Might as well not put any then.

Susahnya mencari kawan yang baik.....
Bukannya senang nak cari kawan yang baik.
Bukan senang juga nak menjadi kawan yang baik.
Kawan yang baik tak pernah mengumpat di belakang kawan baiknya.
Kawan yang baik tak pernah cemburu dengan kejayaan kawan baiknya.
Sebaliknya kawan yang baiklah yang paling banyak membantu kawan baiknya untuk mencapai kejayaan.
Kawan yang baik tak pernah mempengaruhi kawan baiknya untuk membuat perkara yang buruk dan sia-sia.
Kawan yang baik adalah orang yang selalu menasihati kawan baiknya untuk berbuat kebaikan.
Kawan yang baik adalah orang pertama yang akan dicari bila tiba masa sedih atau gembira.
Kawan baik menjadi tempat kita meluahkan perasaan yang tak dapat diluahkan kepada kawan biasa.
Kawan yang baik tak pernah memaksa kawan baiknya untuk sentiasa berada di sisinya.
Kawan yang baik tak pernah melarang kawan baiknya untuk berkawan dengan kawan yang baik.
Kawan yang baik tak pernah cemburu jika kawan baiknya mempunyai ramai kawan baik, kerana kawan yang baik tahu apa yang paling baik untuk kawan baiknya.
Kawan yang baik akan sentiasa mendoakan kesejahteraan dan kebahagiaan kawan baiknya di dunia dan di akhirat di dalam doanya.
Kita adalah kawan yang baik jika kita faham bahawa kawan baik kita bukanlah seorang yang sempurna.
Kita adalah kawan yang baik jika kita menjadi kawan yang baik kepada kawan baik kita.
Kita bukanlah kawan yang baik jika kita tidak menghargai kawan baik kita, kerana kawan yang baik akan sentiasa menghargai kawan baiknya.
Kita bukanlah kawan yang baik jika kita tidak memberitahu perkara yang baik kepada kawan baik kita, kerana kawan yang baik akan selalu menyampaikan perkara yang baik kepada kawan baiknya.
Jadi, adakah kita seorang kawan yang baik?

Field Trip: CSR
Yesterday's field trip was to Central Sugars Refinery Sdn. Bhd. which is located in Batu 3, Shah Alam. It was part of the Bioprocess class activity.
Left the U at 8.30 am. Reached the factory about 9.30 am, which was earlier than scheduled. They didn't let us in. Wandered around in the nearby Shah Alam mosque. Headed back at 10.15 am. They let us in this time.
Had a short briefing by Mr. Chong. He explained to us the whole process of refining sugar from raw sugar till the end product, which is the one marketed. A short Q&A session. Mr. Chong took us to the factory. It was hot, smelly (if you hate the smell of sugar cane) and the floor was sticky. It was quite a short tour. We were glad it was over. No one was willing to stay any longer in there.
Headed back to the briefing area. It had air-con. Phew! Q&A session. Later joined by a Cik Aniza (was that her name?). She answered a few questions before distributing small packets of sample sugar. Before headed back to the U, stopped to have lunch and pray. Reached back at the U at 3.00 pm.
It was definitely an eye-opening experience. I believe not all of us have been to a factory. Even though the process of sugar refining is not a fermentation process, I believe the whole point of this trip was to show us the unit operations involved in massive manufacturing of products.

High and Dry
The university seems to be having a tough semester this time around. First it was the haze. Which led to darurat and 2 days of holiday. Everyone was so happy with the extra holidays. Including me.
Then, there's lecturers who are now currently 'fighting' their way to get time to teach us thanks to missing loads of classes. We are so sought after these days. Tsk, tsk.
And the latest addition, water woes. The oil spill was quite massive. The taps have been running dry since Sunday. In some places in the U, it was gone since Friday itself. Some poor souls decided to stay in hotels. Will other fortunate souls like myself can find solace at home. Hehe. Because of this, we get another 2 days off. Of course this will make most people jump in joy. More holidays. C'mon, how can anyone be sad over that?
Well, I am. More unexpected holidays means more replacement class. We are already lagging behind time with all our classes. With this, it's just makes things far worse. The university was thinking about revising their schedule for the end-semester holidays due to Raya, in which they decided to make the exams earlier and canceling the revision period. Or something along that line.
Now with plenty of 'revision periods' in our hands, the university might as well revert ot its original plan cause this is definitely not going to work. We have plenty of classes to catch up on. The debate has been postponed. We haven't even finished with the mid-term exams. The Calculus tuition will also be brought forward. Not to mention the talk by Dr. Klaus from Scotland which I was so looking forward to go to. And experiments with the reports. The lecturer which will be going to continue his studies has to finish teaching us before he leaves. But if this keeps going on, I don't know where it's gonna leave is.
Let's just hope this 'messy' semester will not repeat. Ever again.

An Ethical Issue in Biotech
This is an ethical issue that may happen to any of you, especially us the biotechnologist-to-be! ... So let's be serious... And so the story goes...
It was a beautiful after-raining afternoon. The air smells good. So, I went out to have a walk in my mom's garden. It was just a small garden, but beautiful nevertheless. There were various kinds of plants and flowers in it. My mom has green fingers, even greener than hulk's fingers. Ok, that's a joke. Let's get back to seriousness.
I was doing an observation on an orchid when suddenly I saw something quite rare and unusual on its leaf. There were two pretty flies on that leaf. Wait, They are flies. How could flies be pretty? Pardon me, they were just two ordinary house flies. Guess what they were doing...From my observation, one fly is a male and the other one is a female fly. One fly is on top of the other one. My hypothesis was they were playing some tag game, or maybe, one fly has Klinefelter's Syndrome (a disease) which made it unable to fly, therefore need to be carried by another fly.
Tag game? Klinefelter's syndrome? I knew that something wasn't right. After doing research inside my brain for a few seconds, I finally rejected my hypothesis and came out with new inference. Sad but true, those two houseflies were actually mating! When I realized it, the dilemma came along. What dilemma? Everybody hates flies, especially when you're having lunch or dinner. You hate flies buzzing around your head. They might bring diseases along. Human are natural haters of flies.
If they successfully mated, then population of flies will increase and maybe their following filial generation will be disturbing my family's peaceful life. If I killed them, then it would be a form of cruelty. Killing the flies while they are mating. Doesn't that sounds cruel? Moreover, I did wonder if they were having fun. You don't want other people to disturb you when you're having fun, y' know? So I was really in dilemma. I gave myself a few options:
A) Kill those two shameless mating flies
B) Just disturb them so that they fly away and do that shameless act somewhere else
C) Leave them alone. Ignore them. Let them have their time of their lives.
This happened to me about a year ago, but it's still haunting me. Wonder if I did the right thing. I've posted it on friendster before, but everyone thought I was joking and no one gave a serious answer. What would you do to those flies if u're in my shoes? I'll tell you guys the path I've taken, in the next entry of mine. TQ

It's Getting Weirder...
Doesn't it feel weird? or awkward is more like it?
I'm sure the older generation would definitely scratch their heads seeing us today.
You're sitting in one place, and you're reading someone's diary (or something of a a sort - they call it blog these days), and that person is sitting just near you and maybe at the same time reading your diary!
It is weird isn't it?
But then, the way we share information has greatly evolved nowadays. This is just one part of it. But still, it is a wonder to me.
Attention!:
Oh yes, I'm thinking of doing something like a collaboration with "Kaum Nomad". If you guys (and me) have any questions regarding Industrial Training, please write in this entry's comment; we'll collect it and hand it to "Kaum Nomad" to answer and they'll post it in their blog. We'll make it kind of like FAQs. Ne?

At Last!
The truth is out. Finally! Read this article in the paper today:
Let's just hope this issue will be settled once and for all. It's the people's mindset. It's about time someone changed it. Seriously, there's a lot more good stuff out there other than Medicine. Keep in mind that I'm not against doctors. I'm only against people who think that if you're not doing medicine, you're dumb.
Like Dr. Torla said, we, the scientists are the brains behind the products doctors use. We're the creators. They're just the end-users. And I'm definitely confident to say that all of us are indeed proud to be biotechnologists-to-be. =D
Article taken from here.
PUTRAJAYA: Too many bright students are choosing a career in medicine, but the Government wants them to consider other fields, too.
Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Shafie Salleh said these students, some of whom had cumulative grade point average (CGPA) scores of 4.0, should think of becoming scientists or researchers.
"We will be talking to the Public Services Department on how we can select certain candidates applying for scholarships and ask them to consider careers in science instead of medicine," he told reporters here.
"Many of these students only want to be doctors, not scientists, while it is the latter that the country lacks and is in need of, as we become more developed."
"Probably PSD can offer them some incentives if they choose careers in science."
He had earlier witnessed the signing yesterday of a memorandum of understanding between Kelah World (M) Sdn Bhd, Bung Hatta University in Indonesia, Kolej Universiti Sains dan Teknologi Malaysia and Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia on research into kelah fish.
Dr Shafie said the PSD could also carry out interviews to determine and select
students with the right disposition to become scientists and researchers.
"Maybe during the PSD interviews, we will try to convince them to venture into scientific research. The department may even administer personality and psychology tests for this purpose," he said.
Last year, some 128 students who scored maximum points in their STPM examination and listed medicine as their first choice of study were rejected by local universities for lack place. At the last minute, they were accepted.
Earlier this year, some brilliant SPM students also complained after they were turned down for PSD scholarships to pursue medicine overseas.
Currently, Dr Shafie said, the ministry had plans to expand the programme for Malaysians to pursue their PhD programmes at the Imperial College in London in a tie-up with five local universities.
Dr Shafie said the ministry intended to ask for more funds under the Ninth Malaysian Plan to be put aside for research in universities.
"So far, all our 17 universities are teaching varsities," he said.
"We plan to convert five of these into research universities. It’s something we had been planning for a long time."
Let's just hope this issue will be settled once and for all. It's the people's mindset. It's about time someone changed it. Seriously, there's a lot more good stuff out there other than Medicine. Keep in mind that I'm not against doctors. I'm only against people who think that if you're not doing medicine, you're dumb.
Like Dr. Torla said, we, the scientists are the brains behind the products doctors use. We're the creators. They're just the end-users. And I'm definitely confident to say that all of us are indeed proud to be biotechnologists-to-be. =D

Love and Hatred
"I just freed my heart of hatred." That's what a friend said.
A question popped up in my head, is it possible for our heart to actually be free of hatred, loathing and dislike?
For me, love and hatred is two kind of one common thing; emotion. It is part of us, part of life. Love and hatred is two of many things that make up what life is all about. As a wise man said; it's impossible for everyone to be happy. I think, we cannot expect everyone to like us, as we have to accept there are people that hate us. Likewise, there will always be people that we like, as there will always be people that we don't like.
But, here is what most of us didn't notice.
Hating somebody or anybody, or being hated by somebody or anybody; does not give us the right to harm them in any ways; physically, verbally or mentally.
That's the key, of how beautiful Islam shapes and teaches our heart; to be patient.

KATRINA...
The howls and yelps and barks that pierce the eerie silence of the New Orleans night. New Orleans residents abandoned thousands of pets in their hasty retreat, leaving many to fend for themselves in the ghostly streets, with others locked in houses and apartments or tied up in yards, according to local animal specialists.
All over the city, animals face a horrible fate. The locked-up pets are starving. In the famed New Orleans aquarium, more than a third of the 4,000 fish have died because there's no power to pump oxygen into the tanks. In the zoo, a skeleton staff of 12 is struggling to feed and get water to 1,400 hungry and thirsty animals with limited emergency provisions.

Najmil Faiz the Malaysian Idol (Read First!)
Dikala ini, ramai diantara kita yang lebih mengenali peserta-peserta pertandingan program realiti. Nyanyian dan persembahan mereka sudah lali dengan kita. Kita boleh mengetahui nama kampung atau warna kegemaran peserta tersebut. Namun apabila kita menyebut nama Najmil Faiz, tak ramai yang mengenali beliau.
Kita lebih mengambil berat dan sanggup mengalirkan airmata mendengar penyanyi dikritik atau diundi keluar daripada mengingati pengorbanan seorang pemuda Melayu berhempas pulas bekerja keras mencuci bangunan dan mengangkat barang demi mencari wang untuk membiayai pelajaran dan survival beliau di negeri orang.
Inilah cerita mengenai seorang pemuda Melayu yang pada 14 Mac 2005 yang lalu, telah membentangkan hasil kajian beliau kepada anggota Parlimen United Kingdom di London dan memenangi anugerah "The Best Research of Good Prospect (2005)". Para pelajar terutamanya diharap menjadikan Najmil sebagai contoh dan idola mereka...
Kejayaan yang dikecapi Najmil Faiz bukanlah dengan jalan yang mudah. Beliau telah mengorbankan usia muda dan keseronokan demi mencapai kejayaan. Pada pendapat beliau, sebagai manusia dan orang Melayu, beliau mesti membuktikan keupayaan beliau biarpun beliau terpaksa merangkak sekalipun.
Agenda untuk bangsanya cukup besar. Pendidikan menjadi satu-satunya aset tidak ternilai untuk kejayaan sesebuah bangsa. Beliau tidak boleh terima orang memandang rendah bangsa Melayu dan menganggap Melayu kurang asam, malas berfikir dan tiada daya saing.
Najmil Faiz Mohammed Aris, 26 tahun, pemuda berasal dari Ipoh, Perak ini mencapai kejayaan setelah 'tersedar' daripada keputusan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) dengan pangkat tiga. Selepas itu, beliau pernah bekerja di stesen minyak dan merasakan dirinya selalu dipandang rendah. Beliau pernah berasa malu dan tertekan kerana kegagalan, namun beliau berazam untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negara seperti abangnya. Disitulah permulaan dirinya yang baru.
Kemudian beliau bekerja dengan sebuah firma di Kelantan untuk menyambung pelajaran ke peringkat diploma di Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO), di Batu Pahat dan pada tahun 2000 beliau melanjutkan pengajian ke peringkat sarjana muda kejuruteraan dan seterusnya ke peringkat Ijazah Kedoktoran (PhD) di Universiti Metropolitan di Leeds.
Di sana, beliau terpaksa bertungkus-lumus bekerja sambil belajar sehingga tidur hanya dua tiga jam sehari. Pada waktu rehat tengah hari, sementara menunggu kuliah petang, dia bekerja. Semua jenis kerja keras dilakukan beliau termasuk mencuci bangunan dan mengangkut barang semata-mata bagi menampung kos pengajian dan sara hidup.
Semasa menceritakan pengalamannya di suatu majlis di Kuala Lumpur , beliau berkata bahawa tiada istilah penat dalam diri beliau dan beliau kerap tidak tidur malam mengulangkaji pelajaran. Beliau menambah lagi bahawa bukan mudah untuk beliau sampai ke tahap ini, sehingga untuk belajar bahasa Inggeris pun beliau terpaksa bertungkus lumus. Di dalam majlis tersebut, terlihat kesyahduan wajah kepuasan beliau dan menampakkan keyakinan untuk mencapai kecemerlangan dalam pengajiannya yang berakhir tahun depan.
Pada 14 Mac 2005 yang lalu, beliau mencipta sejarah pelajar Malaysia yang pertama diberi penghormatan dan pengiiktirafan untuk membentangkan kajian beliau "Micro Machine Process" kepada anggota Parlimen UK di London dan memenangi anugerah "The Best Research of Good Prospect (2005)". Beliau membentangkan kajian mengenai Proses Mikro dan Kejuruteraan Nano selama 15 minit. Najmil tidak menghampakan apabila anggota Parlimen yang hadir bukan sahaja amat berminat dengan ideanya tetapi juga memberikan galakan kepadanya untuk meneruskan kajian beliau yang membabitkan "Nano" dan "Micro Machine Process".
Najmil yang terpilih sebagai antara pelajar Asia paling cemerlang, berjaya membuka mata industri United Kingdom terhadap kebolehan rakyat menerusi inovasi yang dihasilkan. Menurut Najmil, kajiannya berkaitan teknologi mengurangkan geseran yang mampu mengurangkan kos serta meningkatkan keefisienan dalam industri dan sektor pembuatan. Katanya pengurangan geseran akan membantu meminimumkan kehausan terhadap peralatan yang digunakan dalam sektor perkilangan. Kajian beliau amat diminati pengilang kerana ia dapat menjimatkan kos operasi berbilion ringgit dan masa, meningkatkan kadar hayat mesin dan gear yang digunakan serta meningkatkan keefisienan sektor pengilang di seluruh dunia.
Selain itu, teknologi ini mampu dimanfaatkan oleh sektor perubatan terutamanya dalam pembedahan tulang belakang dan tulang pinggul. Ini dengan meminimumkan geseran pada permukaan dan sendi tulang yang dapat memastikan tulang berfungsi dalam keadaan terbaik.
Hasil daripada pembentangan beliau yang memancarkan kecemerlangan akademik dan mutu kajian yang tinggi itu, Menteri Perindustrian Britain, Brian Edden menawarkan Najmil peluang seumur hidup untuk membentangkan hasil kajian Najmil di House of Common.
Menurut Najmil lagi, sepanjang menuntut dan menjalankan penyelidikan itu, beliau mendapat banyak bimbingan dan nasihat daripada tenaga pengajar di universitinya selain sokongan rakan-rakan. Beliau terpilih untuk membuat pembentangan itu hasil daripada perakuan universitinya.
Beliau berhasrat untuk mengembangkan hasil kajian beliau di Malaysia agar Malaysia dapat bersaing dengan negara lain menjelang 2020.
Beliau dijangka pulang ke tanah air pada Mac tahun depan untuk muncul sebagai salah seorang rakyat Malaysia termuda memiliki PhD, sekaligus memulakan kerjaya barunya sebagai pensyarah di Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO) di Batu Pahat, Johor. Beliau berazam untuk berkongsi pengetahuan dan teknologi yang dikumpulkannya sejak berada di UK dengan rakyat Malaysia termasuk pelajar-pelajar KUiTTHO apabila kembali ke tanah air sebagai seorang pensyarah. Memegang pepatah Melayu, "Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri", Najmil menolak ganjaran tinggi yang ditawarkan oleh industri di UK.
Najmil Faiz Mohamed Aris adalah contoh intelek muda negara yang mampu mengharumkan nama Malaysia di peringkat antarabangsa. Beliau mungkin tidak boleh menyanyi dengan 'pitching' yang elok mahupun menjanjikan persembahan naynyian yang baik, namun beliau patut menjadi pujaan anak-anak dara dan ibu-ibu sebagai calon suami dan menantu, idola kepada para pelajar dan ibubapa yang mengecapi keselesaan hidup. Sedangkan beliau yang susah boleh berjaya, mengapa tidak kita terutamanya yang membaca artikel ini?
Anehnya ketika Najmil berjuang untuk kecemerlangan diri dan bangsanya, ramai orang muda langsung tidak memikirkan soal agenda bangsa. Mereka lebih kelihatan dilanda keasyikan untuk pencarian bakat nyanyian. Mendorong makin ramai remaja Melayu di bangku sekolah lagi sudah berlumba-lumba mahu menjadi penyanyi, bukannya pakar matematik dan sains. Seolah-olah hiburan menjadi agenda lebih penting.
Najmil Faiz adalah seorang idola yang tidak boleh di-AFSINGKIR-kan daripada hidup kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia .

Ha-ha
It's a new template again. I found this from Blogskin. It's kind of empty, but spacious, yet colourful at the same time. I'm not sure if you guys like it or not, but until we reach consensus of the next best template to be used, I might be changing the layout everytime. Ha-ha.
It's 2.45 am. I'm supposed to be sleeping (if not studying). But hey, what good is a holiday if it is not holiday? For me, holiday= a temporary escape from our usual worlds.

Happy Holidays!
Yeah right. With loads of assignments and quizzes, there's no way any of us are gonna be having much (if not, any) fun during this short break. Here's a list of what's waiting for us:
- 8 Sept 2005: Genetics quiz. More of an exam actually, knowing Dr. Q.
- 8 Sept 2005: Due date for Calculus assignment.
- 9 Sept 2005: Calculus mid-term exam.

- 20 Sept 2005: Genetics mid-term exam. It's just a proposed date so far. Expect changes.
If I missed out any, please let me know.
Updates!
It's a new template again. We had so many so-called technical problems with our recent template Volutpat venetatis, we decided to go for another much simpler, user-friendly one.
This is the best template I can find but if any of you guys have any other templates in mind, please put it forward until before the midterm breaks ended. Otherwise, I'll have to leave the editing job until the end of the semester and we'll have to stay with this template up to that point.
And I set up a new tag-board too, for no apparent reasons sadly.
It's a five days mid term break. Let see what I'm going to do at home;
1. Spring cleaning
2. Read books
3. Buy books
4. Write about books
5. Play with cats
6. Watch new DVDs
7. Shopping!!!
8. Eat everything that I couldn't eat for last 2 months
9. Going online 24 hours.
10. Study (And this, is subject to changes)
See, I'm not that nerdy eh?
To you guys who're not going home, have a great time and study mantap-mantap!.

Pengkhianatan
Salam my dear friends. Hari ini saya telah mendengar berita tentang satu pengkhianatan. Seorang manusia telah mengkhianati kami. Hampeh punya orang! Tapi, biarkan dia macam Si Luncai dibiarkan terjun dgn labu-labunya. Saya sesungguhnya tak peduli tapi terasa rugi sebab dia dah lama kami kenali. Ish, ish, ish tak wajar sungguh!
Nota kaki:
Kesahihan berita ini masih pending. Tapi, kalau betul mmglah tak wajar =p
