Color Influences

Does color really matter? Does it really affecting or reflecting someone's mood?

Does it really give a big deal to any one? 

Well, I guest it does in some sort of ways.

Let see the infograph together.

BBQ at Home

Last weekend, kami sekeluarga berBBQ di rumah jer. Malas nak pergi mana-mana sebab musim hujan. Terasa nak makan panggang so kat rumah pun cukup la. Bab-bab perapan ni, I serah tugas tersebut kepada Mr Hubby. Almaklumlah dia lagi pakar bab tu. 

Kalau perasan, tempat bakar tu instant bbq set. Dah siap arang dalam bekas tu. Kat cover depan tertera easy light, tapi takde la easy sangat. Sejam juga la nak nyalakan arang tu. (Atas tu contoh instant grill ye..)

Ni la hasil grill kami. Ayam, daging, dan kentang bersama dengan garden salad. Bon appetit!

MOVEMBER

Tergelak juga baca salah satu entry dari Blog Serius. It's about man growing mustaches on November. Hmm.. no wonder la Mr. Hubby nak bela misai last week. Dah datang bulan rupanya. Kena la kasi green light nampak gayanya.

Mengikut Mr Wiki, Movember adalah gabungan words dari moustache and November. Sebuah acara tahunan yang dilakukan sepanjang bulan November untuk bela misai to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other male cancer and associated charities.

So jangan ingat wanita sahaja ada bulan untuk menyedarkan breast cancer, man pun ada rupanya.  So sama-samalah kita aware about our health condition.

PCB UV Board Construction

My project student selalu tanya macam mana nak guna developer and etching printed circuit board (PCB). The things is they all malas nak mencari. Tak tahu la nak marah cam mana lagi. So students out there yang tengah membaca ni, rajin2 juga la buka website yang berilmiah skit untuk upgrade diri kita yang lemah ini.

So, I would like to share cara2 untuk expose, developer and etching.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, i decided to make PCB board using UV (Ultra Violet) method for sharing the knowledge on the procedures & process of UV PCB construction. Here are some of pictures with brief explanation.

Step 1: Print a circuit on laminate paper

Step 2: Buy a Kinsten Coated PCB - GS1015 for single layer and the manual instruction inside the product.

Step 3: Attach a circuit together with Kinsten Coated PCB and expose it with light (photoresis) using UV machine around 90 to 120 second.

Step 4 : A picture of PCB after photoresis process. Remove a circuit from PCB and you can use again the same laminate for other PCB.

Step 5 : Quickly bath a circuit with water and developer then shake it until the unwanted layer remove from the PCB.

Figure A : Picture sample of developer. You can used other product you like.

Step 6 : After wash a PCB, bath the PCB with ferrite chloride & hot water then shake the PCB again until the second unwanted layer removed from the PCB.

Figure B : Picture sample of ferrite chloride product. Caution! You are deal with dangerous chemical (developer & ferrite chloride). Wash you hand after using it. Please use a glove if possible and dispose the chemical properly.

Step 7 : Lastly, brush your circuit and see the different. Now, you can cut any PCB size and drill the PCB for soldering purpose. That's all :)

The Billionaire vs Tao Kae Noi

Sambil menjaga sQ yang tengah demam last Saturday, Mr Hubby and I watched this Thailand movie aired on ABO. Kelakar juga cerita ni. This story was about a young boy at age 18 ingin menjadi usahawan muda untuk membayar semula hutang ayahnya pada bank sebanyak 40 million Baht. 

At first, this guy nama Top Ittipat, niaga buah berangan. Banyak juga dugaan dan cabaran yang harus dia tempuh at a very young age. Then he got inspired by eating his girlfriend's seaweed. So dia cadang nak goreng then belajar how to pack in order to maintain kerangguppan seaweed yang lama.

Tetiba one of the scene ada mention nama product seaweed tersebut which is Tao Kae Noi. Tengok semula info then baru perasan this movie was based on true story. Lagi la Mr Hubby and I excited nak tengok this movie sampai habis coz we love eating this snack.

So, tak nak story banyak, better you guys check out this movie for yourself.

Top Ittipat himself and his most famous seaweed snack

Now he is 26 years old, earning 800 million Baht per year with his own seaweed farm at Korea.

Resistor Color Wheel

Resistor is the most basic component that all electrical engineering student must know. But when I teach semester 3 students, they still don't know what color for resistor value.
To outcome this matter, I forced each and every one to make this Resistor Color Wheel. By this, I do hope they will remember the color coding.

During my search for this idea, I came across a new way to memorize the color code. During my studies, I was thought with this phrase: Haji Pak Mat Jiran Kita Hidup Berkebun Ubi Kayu Putih

But now, there are a new phrase which is up to date: Hanya Pada Mu Jiwa Ku Hancur Berderai Untuk Kekasih Pertama

Projek Memikat Suami

I manage to read this book last couples weeks ago. This book was recommended by my colleague Hasnina. Memang dah lama giler tak baca novel. Last book was the Twillight. All 4 books I read. Novel local jarang baca sebab cerita dia kadang2 terlalu perfect watak2 yang ditulis. Tapi why not give it a twist in live. 

For me, it a good story which could give tips to newly weds on how you should take care of your hubby. So I include sekali sinopsis cerita ini. Enjoy!

Cziplee & Frixion Pen

My love at first sight to this stationary store and frixion pen starts when Mr Hubby bought this erase pen to our daughter. Pen ni senang, kalau salah boleh padam-padam. Why I love this stationary store, sebab almost what i want semua ada kat kedai ni.

This store is located at Bangsar, Jalan Telawi 4. They even have branch at Kajang. Tak sempat nak snap picture sebab too excited nak beli barang.

This is the pen that I was talking about. Here the detail from Pilot:

The erasable Frixion Ball pen is perfect for day dreaming and brainstorming, allowing you to change your mind as often as you like.

Or use it for taking notes in meetings or in class, keeping your diary neat and up-to-date, or for writing birthday cards and invites.

Contrary to other erasable pens in the market, the Frixion Ball has strong and vivid ink colour, does not scratch or damage the paper you are writing on, and allows you to immediately re-write over your correction.

The Pilot Frixion Ball is available in 9 bright colours to match your mood; black, violet, blue, light blue, green, brown, orange, red and pink.

Caution

Do not use the Frixion products when signing legal documents or cheques or for exams and other important writing.
Do not let the Frixion pens or any text written with Frixion ink be exposed to heat as this will cause the ink to turn invisible (this includes prolonged exposure to direct sunlight).
Pens exposed to heat can give the appearance of having run out of ink when in fact the ink is just not visible. If this does happen, place the pen or paper in the freezer for a short period of time for the ink to become visible again.

London Paris New York

(credit: dolcenamak.blogspot.com)

For those who subscribe Astro Boxoffice, mesti tahu movie ni kan. Gosh, I'm so into this movie. Maybe sebab heronya yang very cute and he sang all songs in this movie (hehe Mr Hubby: of course you lagi hencem). 

Plot written taken from Wikipedia:

The movie starts with Nikhil Chopra being interviewed by a reporter in New York asking him about his newly directed movie and why he chose a serious subject and he replies saying that he was asked by someone to be true to yourself and this movie shows the biggest truth about him. He then receives a message and rushes outside to catch a cab.

In the cab, he remembers how he met Lalitha at the London airport in 2005. She misses her connecting flight to New York and bumps into Nikhil while collecting her luggage. They instantly strike a cord and decide to explore London as both of them do not want to head away to their homes but enjoy their first day of freedom. During the day, they roam around in London, explore tourist locales, get drenched in rain and discuss personal ambitions. As the day ends, Nikhil and Lalitha become close but Lalitha declares that she cannot have a long distance relationship with him. While parting ways, Nikhil buys a ticket for himself and tells Lalitha that he will come to New York in 6 months to meet her. She says that they should not write to each other and he agrees to meet her in New York airport.

After 2 years, Nikhil rushes to Paris when he finds out that Lalitha has come there for an exchange program. It is revealed that Nikhil could never make it to New York as he had promised to Lalitha. Lalitha is at first angry with Nikhil for ditching her, however soon she makes peace with the fact and they set out roaming the streets of Paris. They still feel the same attraction for each other and end up spending the night together in Nikhil's hotel. Nikhil admits that he is in love with Lalitha. They start out to watch the film he has made for his course but Lalitha is unable to control her emotions on seeing it.

It is revealed that Lalitha had actually taken a trip to London when she also realized that she was in love with Nikhil. However, she finds him in bed with her film actress which completely breaks her heart. She resolved to get even with Nikhil if given a chance. Realizing that Nikhil is in love with her, she breaks his heart too and leaves for New York.

The film moves forward to present day when Nikhil lands outside Lalitha's house. They go together for a cab ride in New York City. Lalitha tells him that she is getting married and relocating to Mumbai. Nikhil tried his best to win Lalitha' heart. Lalitha also apologized for breaking his heart. They again spend the night together on the streets.

However, as morning dawns in, Lalitha starts rushing for her wedding which leaves Nikhil heartbroken again as he had thought he had won back Lalitha's love. He takes out his angst at her explaining to her, how she had been all wrong in this relationship. Lalitha leaves for her house. Nikhil rushes first to her church where Lalitha was getting married and then to her house only to find out that Lalitha had called off her marriage.

They again meet outside her house and decide to spend the rest of their lives together.

Menarikkan! For those who like this movie I'm sure you'll enjoy repeating it. Hmm this remind me of 3 Idiots played by Amir Khan.

sweet kan.. (credit: dolcenamak.blogspot.com)

Simpul/Tarik Mengkarung

Last night, kali kedua tahun ni kena cramp leg atau Bahasa Malaysia tarik mengkarung atau simpul biawak (mode: baru tahu). Other than this year, the last time kena was 4 years ago during preggy time. Lama tu. Tetiba ia datang berkuncung semula tahun ni. Masa zaman muda2 dulu memang selalu kena sampai dah tahu dah apa yang harus buat tuk hilangkan cramp ni cepat2.

Tapi last night, cramp yang paling lama pernah aku alami. Sebelum ni around 3 minit dah hilang, tapi semalam  almost 1/2 jam juga. Baru nak relief, cramp tu datang balik, seolah-olah otot tu lum habis cramp. Try berjalan pun tak boleh juga. Try to read article bout this. Rata2 tulis normally happen to preggy women and athletics. So, camner? I'm neither of these.

Tips to reduce this pain, minum susu before going to sleep and kalau dah kena tu picit2 itu jari kaki and tolak  tapak kaki ke atas untuk regangkan semula otot.

  

my method of reducing the cramp

siap ada ubat lagi

ni lah rupanya apabila kena cramp

Air Mata Mama

Semalam buat ke-sekian kalinya, air mata ini mengalir melihat anakku menjaga mamanya yang tidak sihat. Actually seharian semalam kepala ni sakit berdenyut dengan kuatnya. Mungkin sebab temankan student projek membuat final projek di workshop yang panastu.

So lagi 5 minit nak berbuka, ku gagah juga bertahan melayan anakku setting plate nak berbuka. Selepas berbuka memang aku tak dapat tahan lagi dan terus bergegas ke dapur sebab nak muntah. Anakku dengan perlahan urut belakangku dan tenangkan mamanya. Kemudian dia ambil air untuk aku minum. Aku kembali ke living room untuk baring. Aku pesan "mama nak baring kejap. kalau perlu apa2 nanti kejut mama".

Sambil temankan aku disebelah dia main legonya. Ku cuba memuji dia bina menara tinggi dan keretapi tinggi. Dia cakap, "mama tidur la", sambil tepuk2 aku. Memang kesian sangat tengok dia. Gugur lagi airmata ini. Hmm, mana suamiku? Kami tidak tinggal sekali sebab faktor tempat kerja yang berlainan negeri. So, kami ni weekend husband and wife. Maka, fahamlah macam mana situasiku menjaga anak. Kadang2 balik kerja kita penat. Anak ajak main bersama. Sometimes, sampai minta permission dulu ngan anak mama nak rehat 5 minit. Itu takpelah, lepas rehat and mandi, badan pun sudah cergas semula, boleh la layan anak. Tapi ni tengah sakit.

Alhamdulillah ku bersyukur kepada Allah kerana telah kurniakan anak yang dapat memahami diriku yang serba kelemahan ini. Pernah juga aku dengar beberapa orang bercerita, Allah akan kurniakan anak perempuan apabila ibunya akan menghadapi kesusahan dikemudian hari. Ini semua ketentuanNya. Allah maha mengetahui segala-galanya.

Sekali lagi air mata ini gugur kerana memikirkan permintaan anakku untuk mempunyai adik. Memang ketara sangat keinginannya memiliki adik sendiri. Tak mampu ku menjawap segala pertanyaannya. Diam sahaja yang ku mampu. Alah telah mengatur segala kehidupanku. Ku pasrah dan akan berusaha apa yang termampu.

Doa Isteri Solehah

Ya Allah

Kau ampunilah dosa ku yang telah ku perbuat

Kau limpahkanlah aku dengan kesabaran yang tiada terbatas

Kau berikanlah aku kekuatan mental

Kau kurniakanlah aku dengan sifat keredhaan

Kau peliharalah lidahku dari kata-kata nista

Kau kuatkanlah semangatku menempuhi segala cabaran-Mu

Kau berikanlah aku sifat kasih sesama insan

Ya Allah

Sekiranya suami ku ini adalah pilihan Mu di Arsy (Al Marfu’atun ‘Ilmi)

Berilah aku kekuatan dan keyakinan untuk terus bersamanya

Sekiranya suami ku ini adalah suami yg akan membimbing tanganku dititian-Mu

Kurniakanlah aku sifat kasih dan redha atas segala perbuatannya

Sekiranya suami ku ini adalah bidadara untuk ku di Jannah Mu

Limpahkanlah aku dengan sifat tunduk dan tawaduk akan segala perintahnya

Sekiranya suami ku ini adalah yang terbaik untukku di dunia-Mu

Peliharalah tingkah lakuku serta kata-kataku dari menyakitkan perasaannya

Sekiranya suami ku ini jodoh yang dirahmati oleh-Mu

Berilah aku kesabaran untuk menghadapi segala kerenah dan ragamnya

Tetapi Ya Allah

Sekiranya suami ku ini ditakdirkan bukan untuk diriku seorang

Kau tunjukkanlan aku jalan yg terbaik untuk aku harugi segala dugaan-Mu

Sekiranya suami ku tergoda dengan keindahan dunia-Mu

Limpahkanlah aku kesabaran untuk terus membimbingnya

Sekiranya suami ku tunduk terhadap nafsu yang melalaikan

Kurniakanlah aku kekuatan-Mu untuk aku memperbetulkan keadaanya

Sekiranya suami ku menyintai kesesatan

Kau pandulah aku untuk menarik dirinya keluar dari terus terlena

Ya Allah

Kau yang Maha Megetahui apa yang terbaik untukku

Kau juga yang Maha Mengampuni segala kesilapan dan ketelanjuranku

Sekiranya aku tersilap berbuat keputusan

Bimbinglah aku ke jalan yang Engkau redhai

Sekiranya aku lalai dalam tanggungjawabku sebagai isteri

Kau hukumlah aku didunia tetapi bukan diakhirat-Mu

Sekiranya aku engkar dan derhaka

Berilah aku petunjukkan kearah rahmat-Mu

Ya Allah

Sesungguhnya aku lemah tanpa petunjuk-Mu

Aku buta tanpa bimbingan-Mu

Aku cacat tanpa hidayah-Mu

Aku hina tanpa Rahmat-Mu

Ya Allah

Kuatkan hati dan semangatku

Tabahkan aku menghadapi segala cubaan-Mu

Jadikanlah aku isteri yang disenangi suami

Bukakanlah hatiku untuk menghayati agama-Mu

Bimbinglah aku menjadi isteri Solehah

Hanya pada-Mu Ya Allah ku pohon segala harapan

Kerana aku pasrah dengan dugaan-Mu

Kerana aku sedar hinanya aku

Kerana aku insan lemah yg kerap keliru

Kerana aku leka dengan keindahan dunia-Mu

Kerana kurang kesabaran ku menghadapi cabaran-Mu

Kerana pendek akal ku mengharugi ujian-Mu

Ya Allah Tuhanku…

Aku hanya ingin menjadi isteri yang dirahmati

Isteri yang dikasihi

Isteri yang solehah

Isteri yang sentiasa dihati

Amin Ya Rabbi Allamin
