3rd and 4th December 2008

Had the rare opportunity to travel to war-torn yet fast redeveloping Beirut, Lebanon, which once was known as the Paris of Middle East. I was there on a photography project for Malaysia Airlines Haj and Charter Department to document the Tentera Nasional Indonesia UNIFIL Rotation.

In the evening on first day at Beirut, I did a solo walk at the coast of Beirut. And came across these stunning sunset views that you hardly get to see in cloudy Malaysia.

Panduan Memulakan Pengajian di IPT

2008-12-01T14:41:00.002+08:00

Selamat datang ke Institusi Pengajian Tinggi (IPT). Perkara pertama yang anda harus sedar ialah pengajian di sini tidak sama dengan belajar di bangku sekolah dahulu. Ramai pelajar yang cemerlang di bangku sekolah dahulu kemudiannyamendapat keputusan yang mengecewakan di IPT. Begitu sebaliknya, ramai pelajar yang sekadar cukup makan keputusannya untuk masuk IPT, tetapi berubah dan menamatkan pengajian dengan cemerlang di IPT. Sebagai permulaan, anda harus tahu akan cabaran dan realiti belajar di IPT :

· Sistem semester yang diamalkan bermaksud anda akan dinilaikan sepanjang pangajian, dan bukannya pada bulan terakhir di tahun terakhir pengajian. Penilain prestasi akademik pula ialah gabungan keputusan ujian dan peperiksaan, kerja kursus, praktikal dan penglibatan di dalam kelas atau makmal sepanjang tahun.

· Pensyarah yang mengajar anda jugalah yang akan menilai prestasi anda. Oleh itu anda harus bijak memanfaatkan kepakaran yang ada pada mereka.

· Kehidupan yang lebih bebas di IPT memerlukan anda mampu mengurus dan mendisiplinkan diri. Kegagalan berbuat demikian boleh menyebabkan anda hanyut dan leka sehingga mengakibatkan banyak kesan negatif pada akademik dan diri anda.

Oleh itu, adalah penting anda memulakan pengajian di IPT dengan melakukan perkara berikut :

BERTANGGUNGJAWAB PADA DIRI SENDIRI
Sedar bahawa berjaya atau gagal anda di IPT bergantung kepada tindak-tanduk diri anda. Sama ada anda masuk ke IPT hasil dari keputusan yang cemerlang, atau dipaksa membuat kursus yang bukan pilihan pertama, kini anda harus berhenti menyalahkan orang lain dan mula berfikiran secara positif terhadap pengajian baru anda.

LETAK MATLAMAT YANG TINGGI DARI AWAL LAGI
Ramai pelajar malas belajar bukan kerana mereka pemalas pada asalnya, tetapi kerana mereka sudah berputus asa dan tidak jelas halatuju yang perlu dibawa oleh diri. Oleh itu, cabar diri anda. Letak matlamat untuk mendapat keputusan antara nilai 3.5 hingga 4.0 dalam peperiksaan setiap semester agar anda akan lebih bersemangat untuk belajar, walau sesukar mana sekalipun.

BUAT PERSEDIAAN AWAL SEBELUM BELAJAR
Banyak kandungan yang anda akan belajar merupakan perkara baru yang kompleks. Jadi untuk memudahkan anda faham pengajaran oleh pensyarah dan mendahului pelajar lain, buatlah persediaan awal sebelum belajar topik berkenaan di dalam dewan kuliah atau makmal. Sekurang-kurangnya, baca dahulu sekali imbas kandungan yang bakal anda belajar dalam kelas pada esok harinya.

HADIR DAN FOKUS 100% SEMASA BELAJAR DI DALAM KULIAH ATAU MAKMAL
Sama ada kehadiran diwajibkan atau tidak, dan sama ada penyarah anda mengambil nama kehadiran atau tidak, anda harus berasa senang untuk menghadiri kelas. Ya, mesti rasa rugi besar sekiranya terlepas kelas. Dan yang paling penting, alang-alang sudah berada di dalam kelas, berikan tumpuan sepenuhnya kerana bukan mudah untuk meminta pensyarah mengulangi apa yang telah diajarkan oleh beliau.

MULAKAN TUGASAN DAN PROJEK SEAWAL YANG MUNGKIN
Ramai pelajar tertipu dengan tempoh ‘lama’ yang diberikan oleh pensyarah untuk menyiapkan tugasan. Mereka leka dan hanya gelabah di saat-saat akhir. Kesannya tugasan tidak disiapkan dengan sempurna dan mencacatkan keputusan yang menyedihkan pada penghujung semester. Oleh itu ingat, bermula dari awal banyak faedahnya.

ULANGKAJI SECARA BERTERUSAN UNTUK PEPERIKSAAN AKHIR
Anda tidak perlu menjadi ulat buku, tetapi mestilah membuat ulangkaji secara berterusan sebagai persediaan terbaik untuk peperiksaan. Ramai pelajar menunggu hingga ke minggu atau hari terakhir baru hendak memulakan ulangkaji. Disebabkan itu, ramai yang mendapat tekanan emosi yang tinggi dan berkelakuan aneh hingga menjejaskan bukan sahaja peperiksaannya, tetapi mengganggu rakan-rakan lain.

Kesimpulannya, jangan mudah berpuas hati dengan kedudukan anda sekarang. Ingat, pengalaman dan prestasi anda di IPT akan menjadi bekalan untuk membina kerjaya yang cemerlang di masa hadapan kelak. Oleh itu, rebutlah segala peluang yang tersedia dan terus berusaha, berusaha dan berusaha tanpa berputus asa. Berdoa kepada Tuhan untuk memohon keberkatanNya. Oh ya! jangan lupa juga untuk aktif dalam pelbagai aktiviti pelajar yang disediakan. Selamat maju jaya and please have fun along the way!

8th September 2007 : 14R actions

MH Bunga Raya just landed

SQ triple seven, rotates very early for the lion state

White B737-200 'classic', delivering poslaju for Borneo

Just arrived from Xiamen, PR China

Gulf Air A340, very very late rotation (near the end of 14R)

Was at the Weather Station from 4.30 pm to 6.45 pm. Was expecting fellow MalaysianWings members, but was dissappointed becouse of (1) no MW members, although there were some casual spotters, (2) dust dust dust on my D70s CCD, and it couldn't be removed with the blower (need to go 'D Check' at Nikon Malaysia at PJ), and (3) soft 70-300mm G 'cap kambing' lens ... hmmm, need to buy the new 70-300VR!

Parents Moved : From Butterworth to Yan

Mature durian trees, part of the parcel!

My parents have 'pindah rumah', from suburban Telok Air Tawar near Butterworth, Penang to the village settings of Kampung Dusun Manggis, Yan Besar, Kedah. They bought an acre of land there early last year and construction of their dream house started late last year. It was only 80% complete when they moved into it about 3 weeks ago to prepare for my sister wedding. Alhamdulillah, the wedding was successful, with the full commitment of 'Sistem Pakat Yan', which a community wedding caterer, consisting of locals from the surrounding villages. It was also a good opportunity for my parents to get to know their neighbours. InsyaAllah, more photos and report to come.

Back to school training photos. This time, at Sekolah Menengah St Martin, Tambunan, Sabah. Was there for a half day Seminar Inspirasi Bijak Belajar for more than 230 students. Most of them are Kadazan-Dusun where the large majority are Christians. As always in Sabah, it is the entertainment part of the seminar that they loved the most. The school hall was a makeshift of zink, steel and concrete. Simple yet effective. The students? Well, how surprised was I, they are very very participative, for a rural school.

Me, posing for the album. The D70s was set to the 10 second self timer, on the stage with the Tamron lens.

Nice grin, and good teeth you got there mate! Notice the half day Bijak Belajar work sheet being used by the student.

Is it me they're laughing at. Biasalah tu. Abang Fitri 'lawak'

Now this is overboard 'lawak'! Happy that they truly enjoy our 'fun and enjoyable' seminar as we advertised.

Now, its the girl's turn. Actually, this was taken during break time show.

A fisherman prepare his net to be casted into the coming waves.

"Pak Cik, lets call it a day will ya? Dah nak Maghrib dah ni. Mak Cik dan anak-anak kat rumah tak sabar nak rasa ikan yang Pak Cik tangkap kan?"

The sun setting as gentle waves wash ashore at this little known fine beach about 25 km from Kota Belud town.

Hanging bridge are plenty in Sabah, especially in Kota Belud and Tamparuli district. Mind you, this bridge is tough. Got the guts to cross it?

Shallow river, plenty of fish. But bewarn, age old strict local rules, called 'bombon' only allow fishing during certain times in a year to help breed young fish . This is a very effective yet simple nature conservation done by the local communities.

Alhamdulillah, for most of my trip, I was blessed with clear blue skies, friendly local assistants and good, or may I say lucky, timing.

You just got to try out this place if you ever happen to be in Kluang. This coffeeshop have even been featured in the magazine "Going Places" of Malaysia Airlines. It has the probably best 'roti bakar' in the country, with its own home-made 'kaya'. Don't be fooled by its simplicity, the 'nasi lemak bungkus' and was great too, not to mentioned its excellence self brewed coffee. More photos to come.

Congratulation : Winner 2006 Nobel Peace Price

Dr Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank, Bangladesh

I'm very happy and excited to learn that the "Banker to the Poor", Dr Muhammad Yunus and the institution that he founded in 1976, Grameen Bank have been awarded the Nobel Peace Price for this year. Dr Muhammad Yunus is an extraordinary visionary who went out of normal banking convention to help provide microcredit to the poorest people in Bangladesh, whom mostly (if not nearly all) are women, to start small business venture and free themselves from the trap of debt and poverty. And when you help, empower and educate a women, it actually empower and educate a whole generation of people.

Semoga Allah memberkati usaha-usaha yang dilakukan oleh Dr Muhammad Yunus, Grameen Bank dan para pendokongnya. Tahniah Dr.

Whitewater Rafting : Kiulu River, Sabah

Friday 11 August 2006 : Whitewater Rafting Level 1-2 (Beginner/Honeymoon Level) at Sungai Kiulu, Tamparuli, Sabah

Went with my sister Nurul Husna who is studying at Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kota Kinabalu. The tour company, Riverbug based in Kota Kinabalu. The location is about 1 hour and 30 minute drive from Kota Kinabalu. The whole journey, including equipment rental, safety briefing, a guide in each raft, sumptous bbq lunch and return trip to hotel costed only RM130 for me and RM100 for my sister (university student rate). The guides were very friendly and our guide especially, Apeng, was the funniest of the whole lot. It was total amazing fun... too fun that I had to be resqued after being swept away for almost 400 metres by the river currents after our raft capsized! Did some thrilling body rafting too. Because of the rain the previous night, our journey was extended to 14 km instead of the usual 7 km. Highly recommended for all. Will go back for the fun again.

Umi and Abah loves you Ameera...

Exactly 1 year ago at Hospital USM Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Alhamdulilah, my lovely wife, Suzana safely gave birth to a wonderful girl that has changed and filled our lives with happiness and fullfilment. We named her as Ameera Sofya Binti Mohammad Fitri. Semoga panjang umur, hidup diberkati Allah, jadi anak yang solehah dan cerdik, cerdas dan cergas yang akan menyumbang kepada agama Allah, umat Islam, keluarga, bangsa dan negara. Kami semua sayang Ameera

(Ameera have been with the grandparents in Besut for more than 1 week now. Word from there is that she is getting plummier! My wife is concentrating on her Master's thesis and I'm constantly on the move for duty. More updates and photos about her in the coming days/weeks)

19 July 2006 : Seminar Pecutan Akhir Peperiksaan

Yes, another seminar in Bukit Nenas Kuala Lumpur. This time, the seminar was attended not only by the exam year students of Form 3, 5 and Upper 6, but the Form 4 and Lower 6 students also came in large numbers. Coming to St John reminded me of my Penang Free School days, because both school shared many similarities such as being over 100 years old, founded by the British, boys school (with some Form 6 girls!) and urban. A special thank you to the teachers who came and stayed back during the seminar despite it being a Saturday. Thanks also to the students who helped coordinate the seminar and assisted the technical works.

The reception was very good. Was a breath of fresh air to deliver the Bijak Belajar module as compared to the Pecutan Akhir Peperiksaan modules. Dr Shukri did the Pecutan Akhir Peperiksaan seminar for the Form 3 and 5 students of the same school the day before my seminar. Thanks to all those whe were involved. And a special thanks for Cikgu Jaffri for sharing the photos with me. Again, good luck to the students. Mula bersedia dari sekarang.

12 July 2006 : Seminar Pecutan Akhir Peperiksaan for Form 3 students (preparation for PMR)

The seminar started a bit lat than usual due to the school choir training. However I managed to finished on time by 1.00pm and to make way for the evening session. The student reception was very good. I enjoyed delivering my seminar there. To the students, keep on 'banyakkan latihan, fahami soalan & fahami jawapan' and good luck for your PMR exams.

Actual Date : 2nd July 2006
Night photography with Imran Khan, fellow member of MalaysianWings.Com. All photos were taken with Imran's Panasonic Lumix FZ30, swapping SD cards at every new composition.
We first went to Universiti Malaya 'lake' to capture the scene of the imposing TM corporate headquarters. Imran wanted to capture the Petronas Twin Towers at night, so instead of bringing him to KLCC (where his FZ30 widest focal range of 35mm might be a little bit limiting), I brought him to Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. Not surprisingly, this is his first visit to the lake and my first visit there since... maybe 15 years ago!
Imran is back for good from Dubai, and will continue his A-Level studies at a preuniversity college at Lembah Beringin, Selangor. Good luck Imran.

Work : Registration through EPerolehan

2006-06-30T11:05:00.000+08:00

Renew my company's Akaun Pendaftaran Kontraktor oleh Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia. Had 2 choices, (1) Do It Yourself on the internet at EPerolehan, which is a project under the Multimedia Super Corridor, or (2) outsource to various business consultant (full time or part time) in the street with additional consultation service fee. To save cost, and to maintain 'control' (in management vs leadership, control is very much a management thing) over the whole process, the company decided to ask me to do the whole thing. Luckily other staff gave ahelping hand. Process not completed yet, still have to submit documents to the Ministry of Finance and make the registration payments.

Reading : Enlightened Leadership

2006-06-29T23:28:00.001+08:00

Book cover image from www.amazon.com

Title : Enlightened Leadership : Getting To The Heart Of Change
Authors : Ed Oakley and Doug Krug
First Published : 1991
Publisher : Fireside, Simon and Schuster, New York

Currently reading seriously. Focuses on how to lead organisational change 'from the inside-out'. Was very surprised that the book was first published in 1991 and is still very relevent in today's rapidly changing world. Initially got interested in the book because of the positive (of course, if it were not positive it wouldn't be printed up front) comment by Stephen Covey.

Not so heavy and not so light. Some interesting graphics in it too. Highly recommended for change consultant.

Bought at real bargain price at Popular Bookstore, Butterworth. What can you say, a book of very high quality at RM17.80!

The authors Ed Oakley and Doug Krug are now consultants at ELSolutions Inc, USA.
