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!

NAWWAL HUSNA, baru sehari pulang ke tanah air selepas tamat pengajian, dia dikejutkan dengan berita peminangannya. Demi ummi dan babah, Husna bersetuju dengan permintaan itu meskipun dia tahu sangat sukar untuk bersama dengan lelaki yang memang tak sukakan dia.

“Jangan menyesal, little girl. Awak ingat taktik awak tu bagus sangat? Awak nak sangat kahwin dengan saya? Okey, saya akan bagi tahu mama yang saya setuju. Cik Nawwal Husna, awak akan jadi isteri saya. Awak ingat awak dah menang? I promise you, for every day of our married life, you will regret what you have done today.” – Zahrain Alimin

Hidup berumah tangga dilayari berbekalkan nasihat dan petua dari kakak-kakaknya,yang lebih dikenali sebagai Master-ji dan Side-kick.

“Buat apa kalau Puan Sri berkenan, tapi tuan punya badan tidak!” – Nawwal Husna

“Una tak pernah terfikir ke, kalau Puan Sri boleh berkenan kat Una, kenapa Una tak buat anaknya pun berkenan kat Una?” - Najla

Berjayakah Nawwal Husna memikat suaminya si mamat ketul ais beku, Zahrain Alimin? Bolehkah ketul ais beku ini dicairkan?

“Sayang... Abang tak tahu bila abang jatuh cinta dengan sayang, sebab abang sibuk sangat hendak membenci sayang. Benci, benci, benci, tup-tup, in love. Bila jatuhnya pun abang tak tahu,” - Zahrain Alimin

Apabila mereka sudah menemui cinta itu, wujud pula penghalang dek rasa cemburu dan fitnah. Berjayakah mereka mempertahankan rasa cinta yang baru hendak bercambah? Ikuti cabaran dan usaha Nawwal Husna untuk membina rumah tangga bahagia!

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

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.

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
