To be honest I almost forgot that I have this blog haha. But now that I am back lets head straight to the juice :-></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Today, I am going to make a hero guide for Dota 2. I am doing this since I am too good at it and so it is an obligatory that I share some of my imbaness to you mortals haha. Just kidding!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">So first the hero introduction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Phantom assassin or Mortred by name, is an agility hard carry. What do I mean with hard carry? Ya, you can argue that almost all heroes can carry with the right item but there are just some few heroes that are good at nothing except for carrying. Hard carry just means that she really, really needs to farm and farm for items HARD early to mid game to be effective. PA (Phantom Assassin) is too item dependent to the extend that without a good farm, she is nothing more than a good feed to the enemy team. <span style="background-color: white;">Really what else can a 'no item' PA can do? Without good item she would just blink her way to death!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is the hero lore as in Dota 2. It is different from the one in Dota 1 :<</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">~~~</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Through a process of divination, children are selected for upbringing by the Sisters of the Veil, an order that considers assassination a sacred part of the natural order. The Veiled Sisters identify targets through meditation and oracular utterances. They accept no contracts, and never seem to pursue targets for political or mercenary reasons. Their killings bear no relation to any recognizable agenda, and can seem to be completely random: A figure of great power is no more likely to be eliminated than a peasant or a well digger. Whatever pattern the killings may contain, it is known only to them. They treat their victims as sacrifices, and death at their hand is considered an honor. Raised with no identity except that of their order, any Phantom Assassin can take the place of any other; their number is not known. Perhaps there are many, perhaps there are few. Nothing is known of what lies under the <span class="inline-bubble-link inline-link-active" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(102, 148, 208); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: pointer; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Phantom Veil</span>. Except that this one, from time to time, when none are near enough to hear, is known to stir her veils with the forbidden whisper of her own name: Mortred.~~~</span></span><br />
<br />
So first thin first. What ability should we pick? It is rather obvious to have the 'Dagger' first followed with a 'Blink' and then the 'Blur'. Dagger is maxed ASAP. The tricky part it whether to pick 'Blink' over 'Blur' or the other way around. My personal preference is getting 'Blur' over 'Blink' since I can jungle a lot better with it. And, the 'Ultimate is gotten whenever possible which means an early level 6 ultimate should be taken. The ultimate does wonders in jungle.<br />
<br />
Since there are a lot of possible item choice for her. I will attempt a more effective layout for this...<br />
<br />
~~~<br />
Items:<br />
<br />
1. Jungle/lane hybrid.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Hand of Midas.png" src="http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/1/1a/Hand_of_Midas.png" />
<br />
Midas.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Phase Boots.png" src="http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/1/1e/Phase_Boots.png" />
<br />
Phase.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Battle Fury.png" src="http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/a/a5/Battle_Fury.png" />
<br />
Battlefury.<br />
<br />
Try to get them before 25th minutes. Use transmute to high experience yielding neutral creeps like Centaur and the red Riki.<br />
<br />
2. Battlefury rush.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Boots of Speed.png" src="http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/0/07/Boots_of_Speed.png" />
<br />
Boots.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Ring of Health.png" src="http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/d/d0/Ring_of_Health.png" />
<br />
Ring.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Battle Fury.png" src="http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/a/a5/Battle_Fury.png" />
<br />
Battlefury.<br />
<br />
Get it around 15 minutes and start farming jungle like crazy after getting that Battlefury.~~~<br />
<br />
There are a lot more item builds but that two will suffice for now :( And get Black King Bar if you have trouble with enemy spells. Most of the time you will need it.<br />
<br />
Ok, now we will move on to the fundamentals. For farming, it is always a good thing to set our creep kills standard. With it, we will know how much to farm. For beginners, it is advisable to get 60 creeps stats (CS) by 20th minutes. But, good farmer get around 80 to 100 by the 20th minutes and 250 by 40th minutes. In some games, you just can not get such good CS due to bad team mates but try to get it. I will show you some pictures displaying its possible to get those numbers for those who are skeptical.<br />
<br />
Since I am running out of brain power to keep going, I will make the remaining sections brief.<br />
<br />
In team fights, wait for your allies to go first (Initiate) and blink to their weakest hero or the one you allies is focus firing. Do not screw up by blinking to only get your self focus fired by the opposing team. PA kills work by isolation. Kill out of position enemy heroes and you are good to go.<br />
<br />
Oh, I wish I can keep on writing but my brain just does not want me to continue anymore :( I know that this guide looks silly... But, guess what? This is my first. For those of you interested, I will make a better guide for her next time. It is 2:25 AM now really. Not optimal for me... :( Oh the snapshots!<br />

It took me a while to know that having a lot of time is not going to give me any good at all. It is how much action that we can put in a limited time that will make the difference. When we are blessed with plentiful of time, we tend to waste them. Sometimes, I think it is better to have 1 or 2 days of gap between tests and exams rather than a full week of it since too much time will cause me to become complacent of the luxury that I will just let them go down the drain without utilizing it for good. From my experience, I noticed that I do not actually need a lot of time to study since there is not much stuff to study actually. Before, I have always think that the topics for each course that I take are overwhelming. But after a while, I have come to the realization that it is not true. With this mind set, I am more relaxed :)<br />
<br />
My point is that, we do not have to worry too much about how much time we have, instead focus on the matter of how to use what we have the best we can.A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-74876647777176848902012-02-19T19:16:00.000-08:002012-02-19T19:17:16.502-08:00Challenges in life make a better story.There is no easy way to success. No matter how prepared we are, we are inevitably going to stumble upon difficulties before we can get what we aim for. This world is meant to be challenging. Without challenge, the world will lose its purpose.<br />
<br />
In mangas and animes, we will always see that the main characters to always be in difficulties and troubles. Most of the time, the hero will make his is her huge leap towards victory after going through hardship. Stories are interesting because there are many problems and difficulties in them. Try imagining a story in which the hero has a smooth sail towards victory. It will be boring as hell.<br />
<br />
Stories like that are more suited to children, mature men like challenges!<br />
<br />
Our life will be as boring if we do not have any difficulties. So, we have to some extend be grateful to have such element that makes our life interesting.<br />
<br />
While I am writing this, I am having a difficulty like always. And after saying so much it will be shameful to me to say that I am sad for it :/A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-3704944653531598322012-02-13T09:06:00.001-08:002012-02-13T09:15:45.991-08:00Nothing really...The older I get, the more I feel that computer game is not that interesting. I remember when I am in form 4, I would play DotA non-stop for hours and still have the enthusiasm to play more. Now, that interest and desire are fading away, I found my self to play at most 2 games of DotA and that is when my mood is at its best. Most of the time, the thought of DotA do not even graze my mind.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While it is a good thing to have had less interest in DotA, I found my self not having a solid activity that I really enjoy doing to fill up my free time. Wah, now I am starting to think that I am soft! But, really, I do not like my current state. If I am to be a great person, i have to fill this void with something productive. Yeah, DotA is not a good thing to spend on in free time, but still, it is an activity. Currently, I have been hopping in and out of several activities that I do not really like just to have something to do with the free time.<br />

One of the most important thing that I learnt so far about doing change is that, we can not start soft. We need to do it hard! I will need to give a real example on this. For example, one of my goal this term is to talk English with my Malaysian housemates. I failed hard on this. There is always this big wall hindering me from talking English. The reason? I have always think that I should start slowly. My plan is to mix my native language and English for a period of time and slowly move my pace up to talk full English. Sounds good. But, you know what , it does not work. If I were to do this for years, I will never get it done!<br />
<br />
So? What should I do? What is the correct way then? Haha. Start hard! Just wake up one morning and start talking English like zombies. It is the only way! Do it (I need to write this) Do not give a shit about them! Huh, that is hard.<br />
<br />
I am actually in a program now and it is here where I just realized this. It is so big to me that I have to pull up my netbook and write this. OK, I have some time to write this. I will you how I got this idea. This program is conducted my my Malaysian friends and as a convention it is conducted in Malay. The first two speakers use Malay, but unexpectedly, the third talks full English. It is really out of the general picture. I know the speaker well and I knew that he do not really talk English. But, see, he is giving a talk in full English like a boss!<br />
<br />
That is all for now, I am going to do hard stuff now!A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-35542138794657819442012-01-27T12:45:00.000-08:002012-01-28T08:50:46.181-08:00Bad feeling...<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

I have been feeling very bad this few days. When, I started the campaign to change my self in the beginning of the year, everything seems to be working well. That time, I was very optimistic, my motivation level was sky high. But after a while, things start to get less favorable. After every difficulty, another one came to knock me down. They never stop coming after me.<br />
<br />
Today, I felt really really bad that I have to post this. I am not sure if things will work the way I want now. In the beginning of the year, I have set a lot of goals that I want to achieve in this term. And, although some of my goals seem to be easy to attain, they are not. I am struggling to even get the easy goals worked out.<br />
<br />
If I evaluate myself, I am rather more efficient and productive this term compared to the previous one. I play less DotA this term and I am more hardworking even. But, I realized that I am still the same old person like before. There is no significant change that I can be proud of. It is as if I am stuck with this shape even after giving so much effort to change it.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it is natural that change is not easy to attain. I think I have mentioned in my previous post that no change will come after difficulties. Sometimes, after knowing that, we felt like we can go through any level of hardship. It is good to have this kind of thought, but it will blind us about the coming problems in which we will find ourselves struggling. We will never be in ease if we are aiming for success. The thought of failure always haunts us. I am not certain whether or not I will eventually achieve my goal. But, what should I do other than hoping for the best :/<br />
<br />
I guess, it is always easier to say than done.<br />

Walk the talk they say. In my first term in university, I have learnt that I will get tested on what I claim. May it be a statement to self or a blog post. It is like if I say that we should be patient when other people throw stones at us, the next day or week, I will find my self got hit by a stone in some sort of way.<br />
<br />
In my first term, I have made comments and statements for a lot of things. And I am very positive that most trials and troubles I got myself in, are all related to what I say or claim before.<br />
<br />
I have found my self tested just now and it is a tough one. Luckily, I can hold my self off from doing stupid things. Compared to the last term, I am more resistant to trials and tribulations now XD I am not that repulsive any more. But still, the point is that the words say will manifest themselves in physical reality! And we will be tested to see how far does our words hold their truth.<br />
<br />
When I got myself in trouble, the thought of giving up will dominate me. It is very easy to fall into the valley of defeat. From my own experience, despite the fact that some trials and tribulations seem to be too bad to allow us to recover and achieve something. It is actually are not as bad and we can actually achieve what we want in the first place. Maybe you have some experience that you can testify on this.<br />
<br />
Like always, I post this because I am in trouble right now and I need to vent my sorrow up. I will never give up. I will keep moving forward. I will learn from the mistakes. Mistakes will help me improve my approach. I will remain steadfast on my stance. InsyaAllah I will get what I want. I believe that trials, difficulties and tribulations are essential to success. No success comes rolling in front of anybody out of no where. We need to strive to get it!<br />

There is a thing called pseudo work in this world. I learnt about this term from a student study guide book I found in my friend's house. The title of the book is 'How To Become a Straight A Student'. The author of this amazing book was a straight A student from an Ivy League university. I do not remember what university it is, sorry, but the writer is very credible. Other than using his own experience, the writer did interviews with other top scoring student from top universities in the US.<br />
<br />
In the book, the writer, whose name is Cal Newport raises an important topic concerning study method. He claims that students who get bad grades in their class despite having worked so hard, are actually doing pseudo work. Since, the work in this case is studying, call it pseudo study.<br />

The word pseudo may seem to be cool for some, including me. And for those who do now know the meaning of it and are lazy enough to browse through the dictionary, the word pseudo basically means not genuine or not real. An easy example, pseudo science is not real science. I can invent a scientific term out of the blue and claim it to mean something. My false scientific invention can be considered a pseudo science since it is not a genuine science.<br />
<br />
OK let us move on.<br />
<br />
People who did pseudo study do not notice that they are practicing it. When the exam comes, pseudo workers will start to study, and they did a lot of studying. But what they do not know is that they are not actually studying. For them, it seems very real, they do think that they are studying. Unfortunately for them, for an outside observer who knew about this topic, will quickly identify that they are doing nothing positive in their study. How do they do it you wonder?<br />

Having facebook open while studying will automatically make the study into a pseudo study. Contrary to popular belief, multitasking is a horrible practice for doing almost anything. It is very true that 10 minute study with 100% attention to the material of study, is way better than a full hour of studying while facebooking! You will gain very less material if you do not give full attention in what you do.<br />
<br />
For those who do not believe me, try to explain this. How can you get a 'solat khusyuk' while thinking about something else? You will never get a good 'solat' if you do not pay attention. In the similar contact, how it is possible to get a good study if you do not pay attention to it.<br />
<br />
There are a lot of other example and proof that I can bring to front. But, I do not need to since it should be very obvious right now... OK, the message is that, whenever you want to study, pay full attention to it. Do be get arrogant to think that you can handle two tasks in one go. Do it one by one. You will get more out of it if you start single tasking.<br />
<br />
It is not limited to facebooking, any activity that requires attention is not a good mix with studying. Human brain is not meant to do more than one task simultaneously. It will cripple in strength and effectiveness if forced to do so. Poor brain!<br />
<br />
That is all for now. If you want better elaboration, buy the book. Oh, and by practicing single tasking, we can even increase our intelligence. Trust me, I have got a rare book on 'intelligence increase' and it stresses on single tasking as a key to unlocking intelligence!<br />

Nobody can avoid mistake and misfortune, even the heavily funded NASA occasionally make mistakes. For a student, it is important that we know the fact that even the perfect scoring students make mistakes. I know this since I know someone who has got 100% for his average in pre-U and still, he did not get all perfect marks in his quizzes. There are several examples more but it is rather obvious that nobody can have a defect free life. This life is full of trials and errors.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Having said that, I do not mean that we can not achieve success. To achieve success is to learn from past mistakes and move on. Failures are the opportunity given to us to achieve success. There are so many lessons that we can draw from failures.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are two ways how people react to failures. One is that, he or she are more determined to achieve success than ever. The failure provides him motivational boost to work harder since now they know that, apparently their previous efforts are insufficient. This is the scoring people. They strive for success regardless what.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The other kind of people will treat the failure negatively. They abandon all hope of success and succumb to laziness, pessimism and productivity. These people are bound to more failure not because they are not capable or there is no hope, but because of the negative reaction they have towards opportunity.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is a reminder to you and especially me that we keep being optimistic with life. What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve!</div>

It is 2012!<br />

Haha, I know that it is a bit late to post anything about new year. It has been 2 weeks since 1/1/2012, but who cares. Actually, I do not have anything to rant so I picked a random topic :D Yeah, that is not nice. But, anyway.<br />
<br />
Like other people out there, I have my plan for this year. There are a lot of thing that I want to do this year. My plan is mainly about changing me to the better. I have gone through a lot of thing, good and bad. For this year, I want to use all I learnt to good use. 2012 will be a year full pf change for me!<br />

Enough with that, this year I want to be achieve greater success in my study. I have not been a decently productive student last term. The problem with me before was that I played too much DotA. I do not think that playing DotA is a bad thing but too much of it is wrong, like everything else. DotA has it's own benefits too. The good thing about DotA this year it that, it is DOTA 2! Nice graphic, no hackers and more importantly, I can track how many games I have played in DOTA 2.<br />

Other than that, I also want to make some improvement to my self. First of all, I want to be a better Muslim. This week, my friends and I have made a checklist. The checklist contains three basic religious things that we should do daily. The idea of this checklist is to keep track and evaluate how well we are doing. Without it, my evaluation will be vague since there is no definite guideline to follow. Three checklists seem to be very little. But, the idea is that, it is better to get three done than nothing. If we were to introduce too much new things, we can be easily overwhelmed by the number. Anyway, it is pertinent that we have a system or method to do change if we want change. It will not happen by itself.<br />

Last term, I was easily got affected by trials and losses. When I did bad in anything that contributes mark to my courses, I will get a huge mood swing. Out of sudden, I will turn really unproductive for a long duration of time. It is very bad since it causes more losses. My second mid-term in the last term gone really bad due to this. I got frustrated for one thing, and I ended up losing more than I should not have lost. Just now. Just a few hours back before I wrote this, I have had a bad physics tutorial. I could not do the quiz. At most I would only lose 2.5% mark but that bad mood starts to kick in hard already :-( I tried to resist and with some success. But it keeps coming in. The good thing now is that I feel more encouraged to work harder. But that bad feeling will not go away easily apparently...<br />
<br />
My aim for this term is to get all As in all my 6 courses. If possible I wanted to get A+ in some subjects. Physics is one of my favorite subject so I really really want to get an A+ in this. I know it is like too much for a person like me but I still want it! I am an ignorant fool when it comes to this and I do not care much >.<<br />

They are unsafe due to their explicit contents. It really bothers me more since some of those anime are actually a good watch if they just put out those inappropriate contents.

No human being can escape it, even the best of us. So, it makes sense to put extra attention to it. As living human, we should think of death like we think of our life. Even if we try to ignore it, death will come to us. There is no escaping. Some of us, try to ignore death. They feel safe by ignoring it. In actuality, they are in a much worse situation than to those people who acknowledge it and be prepared for its coming.</div><div><br /></div><div>The thing that scares about death is the uncertainty of what will happen in the after life. Humans have different thoughts on this issue. Some thinks that nothing will happen, others think that we will be revived in back to the world as other being. I am lucky to be a Muslim, since Islam tells me what will really happen. In the Quran, Allah tells us a lot of reminders of the coming day, the day of resurrection.</div><div><br /></div><div>Frankly, I am scared to the bones about death. I am afraid of the grave, where I will be alone until the end of time. But at the same time I am ashamed of my self too. Why? Knowing all of these do not prevent my self from committing sins! I know that death is near, but I still in the state of inaction!</div><div><br /></div><div>In this blog post I would like to remind me and you readers to live our lives to the fullest by putting all we got to secure our abode in Jannah. MasyaAllah, try imagining yourself in Jannah for a moment. Wonderous.</div>A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-54660001633297442072011-10-31T20:00:00.000-07:002011-11-02T20:25:53.904-07:00Eye QeuThroughout my life, I have always want to increase my intelligence. Some people claim it to be impossible. They argue that it is fixed and the coding in your gene associated with intelligence would not change! That sounds very discouraging... But who gives a damn thing about their opinion? I will never accept their claim even if they can come up with a dozen of so called scientific proofs. For me science is just a generally agreed opinion. But it is still an opinion. In my life, never once (not literally) do I ever think that my intelligence is stagnated in a particular level. I believe that I can be a self made genius. Successful self made genius is for me a better type of genius since they worked their way to obtain it.<div><br /></div><div>If you searched for ways to increase your intelligence in the net, you will, unsurprisingly find a whole lot of valid techniques of achieving super intelligence. By super I mean 180+ IQ on IQ test. Is not that amazing? Currently, I have a lot of resources about this matter. Probably I have more than enough material to increase my intelligence to the genius level. But well, there is other problem that remain unresolved. It is lack of dedication and perseverance on my part. Shame on me! My motivation has gone up and down and as the result I am not consistent in doing the exercises that I have learnt so far. </div><div><br /></div><div>It is a good thing that I am back in college now. The horrible result I got in college causes me to snap out of my long slumber. Here it is as if high IQ is a must have if one wants to excel. My first term is horrible and I blame it to my lack of intelligence. For me effort is not that important if one wants success. The short cut to success is in IQ. It is proven. How many times have you got demotivated when you know this guy A or B who excel in all his classes even when he puts little effort in it. I have seen a lot of them and I want to be one.</div>A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-40707636705310297392011-09-02T20:00:00.000-07:002012-01-14T02:17:58.609-08:00Patience in DotADota has been my favorite and most played game up until now. For you who do not know, DotA is a popular game in Malaysia. I can safely say that almost every cyber cafe in Malaysia has DotA installed in their machines. To play DotA, you will need to have WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne (WAR3: TFT) installed in your computer. It is to this fact that DotA is highly accessible. If you have got WAR3: TFT installed in your computer, all you need is to download 7 MB warcraft 3 map file. Then, here you go, DotA. For you who notice, DotA is not an actual game. Actual, real, commercial game is called standalone since they can run by themselves. DotA does not. Other than being a good game, WAR3: TFT has something to do with DotA popularity; WAR3: TFT is also a good and popular game.<div><br /></div><div>DotA is a challenging game. It is highly not friendly towards newbie, new people coming into the game. Other players tend to rage talk newbies who do mistakes and the huge learning curve will inevitable horrify those new players. I have been one of them before, but to my luck, the level of play at that time is not as high as it is today. Poor newbs!</div><div><br /></div><div>Ok, I do not intend to make this post to introduce Dota. My real intent is to share what DotA has taught me. In every game I play, there are hidden tests and trials. I face them often, but it is at this moment that I feel like making a written account of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, DotA teaches me patience. Losing a game-that-you-could-have-won-if-not-for-a-silly-mistake-and-a-bad-team is really frustrating. I can be easily lose my self in anger. It is a test. After losing a game, I have learnt to cope with defeat by finding a reason to justify the defeat. I learnt to be grateful for other things that I achieved in that game. Believe it or not, sometimes I will even do the remembrance to God to lessen the anger. It is shocking but the anger is real, regardless that it is gotten from a game. </div><div><br /></div><div>The lesson of patience that I got from DotA helps me to cope with similar situation in real life. In Dota winning and losing is a normal thing. It is impossible to win every game. That precious similarity that DotA has with the reality is strikingly useful for me. Sometimes, I trash talk out of anger. Trash talk is rude and it is bad. It hurts people. I tried to avoid it but it is almost impossible to be free from sin. Those moments always remind me about the best action that a sinner can do. Turning back to God for his forgiveness. Repentance in short.</div>A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-47037026768260862432011-05-11T19:01:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:41:31.463-07:00Gratefulness, the easiest way to the attainment of desireThere is a hadith that states that Allah will give more to His grateful servants. Personally, I have known this hadith for quite a time but it is only recently that I fully fathom its powerful meaning and application in success making. My understanding is a result of real life experience with the issue as well as a bit of logical thinking that I do. Out of many ways that one can achieve success, this method of merely being grateful is the best and the easiest way to achieve it. Is it as if, one do not have to do anything to get success, since no real physical or even mental effort is needed in doing it. How astounding!<br /><br />Keep in mind that there is always the right and wrong way of doing anything, and it comes to to this topic also. The right way, as far as my belief thought to be true, is to GENUINELY BE GRATEFUL of what we have and at the same time, HAVE THE DESIRE to what one wants. For example, I am genuinely grateful to have RM 1 in my pocket, but I desire for RM 1 million. The letter part of this application has the same concept as 'doa'.<br /><br />That is all for now. I have a test and a quiz to do in the next 1 hour!A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-54226187187382941122011-04-14T18:33:00.000-07:002011-04-14T19:05:39.275-07:00Great character brings out great excellenceIn my life, I have been always be a searcher of knowledge of success and it is always be a pleasure to be to share some bit of what I know to other people that want to know them. The knowledge that I know is drawn out from my personal experiences, observations and the external sources that I read and come to know with. I have been a lucky person to have the opportunity meeting a multitude of successful boys and girls in my life. My experience with them shapes and introduces evolution in my character, quality, thought, mental activity, activity, habit and action.<br /><br />Here is a story of the great. I have a friend, a friend in general despite only having no to little conversation with him, who achieves academic excellence that I have not yet seen 17 years before in my life. For those people who only know about his success will likely interpret and speculate his character will be one in which is filled with self-pride, arrogance and all sort of bad qualities that most people with great intelligence and fame have. It is easy to assume that he is a narcissist, in which he is not but this man is a man that possesses a great character and humility. He is a down-to-earth boy who never brag or even spoken about the many perfect grades he have achieved.<br /><br />I always see him in the library, doing his work like anybody else and I do not see even a glimpse of narcissistic evidences in his actions every time I meet him.... <span style="font-style: italic;">more to come</span>A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-82959134325240278442011-02-26T19:54:00.000-08:002011-04-14T19:08:14.944-07:00It has been long right?For weeks, this blog is not updated. To be frank, I feel very bad for that. Its a real proof of my inconsistency in work that I do. But, I plan and desire to change that. From this day onwards, InsyaAllah I will make an obligation to post on weekly basis.<br /><br />It has been busy weeks for 2 or 3 weeks before. I have so many things to be done with limited time on my side. Homework, studies and I am also burdened with my important university applications to be done.<br /><br />The good thing is, now I know the real meaning and power of ISTIQAMAH and I plan to embed it deeply in my mind. I even put on a sticky note with the word "Istiqamah" written on it on a wall right in front of my study desk. A position that allows me to see it everyday and hopefully the word will be implemented deeply in my brain.<br /><br />That is all for now.A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-82521485654553942212011-02-18T21:14:00.000-08:002011-04-14T19:10:20.035-07:00Envy and burning desireAs humans we always want to be the best and to have everything that other people have. In my opinion, envy is an integral part of our humanity. There is now way for any human to claim that he or she does not posses envy in our hearts. The envy part of us will always be there, it is apparent for this person and not that person due to how one's ability to control envy. Anyways, I will not go any further in that. The reason why I start my blog with envy is because it helps to support my claim that as humans we all want to surpass or at least become equivalent with other people that we found to be better than us.<br /><br />The envy, if its channeled correctly will do good to us. It will drive us forward. Our envy can create desire in our hearts to push ourselves to improvements and success. But we have to remember, there are always two ways to do things and its the same with envy. We can use envy the good way, that is by using it as a fuel to drive us forward or we can use it in the bad way. This powerful feeling is known to cause hatred in people. Hatred is not good, it will destroy us. People with hatred will never move forward. They will be limited in their tiny messy room, bounded there, waiting for their doom.<br /><br />We always want to become that other person. For students we want to become the number #1 and for working men, they want to become the richest and most successful person in the world if its possible. They all have wishes but their wishes remain to be wishes and wishes only. They have powerful imagination and they always imagine their selves to be the one that they wished. Eventually, they are trapped in their fantasy and worse their fantasy caused them to hate their real life conditions. For them everything seems unfair.<br /><br />To just imagine oneself to become successful and the most intelligent and talented in not enough and it will never will. What we need is a wish, a plan and an action to make it reality. In short, in the words of Napolion Hill, author of "Think and Grow Rich", they need a BURNING DESIRE to get what they want. Burning desire is a powerful thing that can change lives and make wishes come true. It is a definition when a man is so obsessed with a particular desire of his that he spend all his energy, time, focus and mental power to obtain it. Its the secret, claimed by Napolion Hill and approved by Andrew Carnegie himself of success of the second richest man in history, the great Andrew Carnegei.<br /><br />Burning desire is what we have to have in order to become what we really want to become. It is an important part of a man's success in life. And pertaining to my first point, we can use our natural emotion, envy to generate a burning desire in our hearts and brains.A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-80784865006914598512011-02-03T19:02:00.000-08:002012-01-03T21:27:25.118-08:00How to buy electronics.<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Today, there are a lot of companies that provide so many good products. Back in the old days, there are only a few companies that stand up against the other, say SONY and Apple. Companies like ASUS, Acer, Dell and Samsung are coming to the market with a storm. Consumers find it increasingly hard to make the right decision and it can be frustrating in the majority of the time.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>When I am still a small kid, years ago, its relatively simpler to shop for electronics. Oh, before I forget, this article is about some thoughts pertaining to electronics products. Back to the topic, back in 2000-ish time, when my family go out to buy for electronics they will be presented with a small set of products to choose from. And since one product is SONY and the others are of brand that they do not have any idea of, it is very wise to pick the SONY and be happy with it. Yeah, good days. Too bad, nowadays we know too much about brands and products specifications that make it really hard to buy anything.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Actually (I learnt this in my economics class), most products are actually pretty much the same, it is the heavy marketing that creates the illusion of product differentiation. Often time, we think that ASUS and Acer computers are very-very different. It is unfortunate for us, since the things inside the computer are pretty much the same. Example, processors are from intel, graphics are from nVidia and other things. The hardware are basically the same, what making it so different is the labeling, fancier, we call it branding. And of course the pricing.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>So, now we know that most products are basically the same, it is just that they carry different brand on their polished body and the pricing that differ them. To make this article useful, I will give my personal tips on how to make decision when buying electronics. Basically, two things that we have to look for is the brand and price. Do not make it difficult by concerning much on the specifications. On the side note, specifications will decay over time, so do not bother a lot about it really. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>To make things easy, brands fall into two simple category, the good and the bad. Buy from brands that are in the good area. Oh, if there are conflicting brands, look for the price. Buy the cheaper one that satisfy your needs (specifications that is). Then, you are good to go. Haha, it is very simplistic but for the most part it will work fine. Now, time to go.</div>A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-1481398137543533132011-01-29T20:05:00.000-08:002011-04-14T19:10:36.594-07:00Journal

</p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">Basically the poem is about her life as a normal human. Like anyone else, she has to undergo difficult times in her life. In the first line, ‘my life closed twice’ means that she has gone through 2 difficult times in life and ‘before its close’ means she died afterwards. The second and third lines literally means that she wonders what life has stored for her if she were to live forever. In the next line, she hinted that maybe she will suffer the third difficulty. She continues by desiring for it not to happen because it will overwhelm her. The sixth line gives the reader a clue of the nature of difficulty she endured; in this case the death of her beloved ones. ‘Parting is all we know of heaven’ means she expects to see the deceased ones in heaven. Lastly, she thought that hell is unnecessary because she has experienced something she thought to have the same magnitude as hell itself.<br /></p></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:lsdexception></w:latentstyles></xml>A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-78988521621363415492011-01-29T16:01:00.000-08:002011-02-01T05:13:06.849-08:00Thoughts on time travelMost of us have probably know about 4th dimension, time and common visual interpretation of this dimension will be like a continuum of 2d frames adding up to form a rectangular supposedly extending to infinite length. This visual interpretation is very interesting and spectacular because it suggests the possibility of time travel!<br /><br />So what is up with the game and movie? Oh, the idea is that, this extension of frames is basically the same in computer games and movies wheres each frame is saved in a computer. These saves enables gamer and movie enthusiasts to go back and forth between the past and present which is in the case of game, load the past saved game and in the movie, drag the scroll button beneath.<br /><br />So now, we have established an idea of 4th dimension and a practical time travel mechanism. Now, let us apply it to the real world and see if our small idea works.<br /><br />Just like in the game, we will need to see if reality can save past frames. Logically, there are 3D games (reality is also in 3D) that accomplish the feat of saving instances in the game, so we can safely assume it is possible for reality as well. This is amazing but deeper thoughts unveil more pressing problem. First of all where do they save the files (past events) and how much data involved in this process?<br /><br />I cant answer the first question, but I can for the latter.<br /><br />Let us imagine that the universe is a 2D space that has 1 cm of width and 1 cm of height. The dimension of time (in second) is perpendicular to its height and width. So if now every frame holds 1 cm^2 worth of data. In this thought experiment I will try to calculate the amount of data for time = 1 sec. Em, I don't have to think much, it is easy right. The answer should be infinity!<br /><br />This due to the fact that time is a continuum. So, mere 1 sec of time can be filled with infinite amount of frames. This is very true because I can surely tell, time = 1.0 x 10^-(9^9^9^9) exists! Is not it? Bear in mind this is for the case of a infinitely miniscule space.<br /><br />I do not know if this Gedanken is of any good but it is a good stuff to be thought of. Anyway, see you in future posts.A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-63498956382719487902011-01-29T09:38:00.000-08:002011-04-14T19:08:48.403-07:00IELTS Writing Task #2<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Writing Task #2, January 2010</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider, the rich people are getting richer, but the poor are getting poorer. What is the reason for this situation and what action should be taken to fix it?</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Outline:</p> <ul><ul><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Capitalism</p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Enforcement of zakat</p> </li></ul></ul> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> Conflict between rich and poor is a classical conflict that seems to be pervasive in the real world today. The irony of this conflict is that neither group can not survive independently, that is, basically the rich needs the poor and vice versa. So, why can not these two groups come up with a solution to end the dispute?</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> Solutions are usually derived from knowing the reasons of why things are as they are. So, what is actually the cause and root of this problem? The first thing that come to my mind is Capitalism that is a system that basically based on the idea of allowing individuals to gain and own wealth. On the first glance, there is no apparent negative consequences in it.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> But, humans are creative beings. They will find loopholes and opportunities to exploit for their personal advantages. In the case of capitalism, the flaw in the system that results this mess is this system allows people with money to gain more money by many means and amazingly the opposite happens to the poor. They are deprived of any ways of gaining money. Instead, money are drained out from these people for services and products that are sometimes unnecessary.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> Knowing this, we can know plan moves to solve this problem. As mentioned, the core of the problem lies on unfair system in which the benefited are benefiting and the poor are exploited. Logically, one of the best way to tackle this problem is by flipping out the table. That is to reverse the tide, making the poor benefiting and the rich losing. The literally best way to do it is by imposing the Zakat, an amazing wealth control system contained in Islam.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> Zakat can solve this problem in many ways. First of all, the direct result of zakat is the net cash inflow of money from the rich to the poor. Enterprise are exploitation and it is the basic of capitalism wheres Zakat is the enterprise of the poor. This inflow of money enables the poor to have more power in their life. Money can be used to set up business, buy necessary stuffs that will improve life performance and many more to mention.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>Secondly, zakat can also improves the relationship between this two groups. This improved relationship will pave the way for future understandings. When the rich starts to help the poor, the poor will feel not left out in the society and the rich also benefits by getting that sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in helping out. Basically it is a mutual understanding between these two inverse group of people.<br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> In conclusion, we can clearly see the real potential of this idea to put an end to this pressing problem. I am confident that this idea will be practical in addressing our discussed issue.</p>A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-55286043640877147132011-01-29T07:45:00.000-08:002011-04-14T19:09:13.681-07:00Eng4U Journal Entry #1<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Journal Entry #1</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Are there any books from group A or group B that interest you? Disinterest you? Why/why not?</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">There are a couple of books that get my interest, but 1984 novel by George Orwell is the book that I am interested in the most. Beforehand, I have never heard about this novel and my first impression towards the book is the opposite my current view about it. The reason for that is, I found the name of the novel uninteresting.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">My bad early expression is changed when I read the introduction of the novel in wikipedia. In my search, I found that the novel has the sort of story that I like to read. Basically the story is about a corrupt government that stay in power by false means like incessant, continuous mind control and perpetual and constant public surveillance. The main character struggles to keep things right.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I really love this kind of story. Story that tells about government and social corruption is rare and so, this is actually a rare opportunity for me. The reason why I love this novel a bunch is due to my deep interest in real politic itself. Over my teenage years, politics and social power related topics are the one occupying my top favorite things in mind.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Well, that all is for my first journal entry.</p>A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-57562117677806511272011-01-28T06:48:00.000-08:002011-04-14T19:10:51.422-07:00KEYS: Published<span style="font-size:100%;">Last year have been a really challenging one for me. Near the end of the year, trouble and problems just keep coming to me like carpet bomb bombarding Berlin in World War 2 and I really mean it. One of the interesting problem that I had been keeping my mind open at all times is the saddening truth that I am just an average good student lacking superior successes that excellent student have in their repertoire.<br /><br />It may make you wonder what kind of excellence that I am discussing here. First of all it is really mind-boggling to even have the realization that there are people to achieve amazing feat like these. The thing is, a rare number of people can actually achieve overall mark of 99% for the semester. My education is rooted in Kelantan and there, this kind of excellence is like impossible to get. I have to say what a lucky person I am to be given this kind of exposure.<br /><br />Back to my key finding search, I have collected 3 aspects for success that I codenamed KEYS. KEYS is actually my personal idea of actions and practices that can pave the way to obtain the highest level of achievement in things that we pursue. The keys may not offer results intended results as mentioned above but nonetheless I believe these KEYS can be expanded to further increase its effectiveness and they will also can spawn new ideas for the same intention of getting advanced success in our work.<br /><br />So here they are:<br /><br />KEY #1, The Winning Sage.<br /><br />This KEY is all about positive thinking. Positive thinking is a practice of optimism and it means that if we want to achieve a to a perfect scorer (in this case), then we have to purely believe that we are one. It is basically tricking your mind to have a different idea of what you are. In my experience gained my a dozen of articles that I read, humans can cheat their mind by continuously affirms it of an idea until our mind falls to the trap.<br /><br />I got this idea from an amazing article of a women (The winning sage) that wins all luck based competitions just my her optimism of actually winning it. She will basically visualizes and affirms her self that the prizes are hers and as unbelievable as it sounds, she really win all of them. To date, she won all competitions she participate! In case you want to read the article, google<strong style="font-weight: normal;"><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong> 'world luckiest woman reveals her winning mind tricks.<br /><br />KEY #2, Allah's promise, 'If you are grateful, I will give you more.'<br /><br />Due to the complications involved in dealing with this topic, as a muslim I will just give out the original text for t</span><span style="font-size:100%;">his KEY.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">And here is the text:<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />ALLAH says, “Then do ye remember Me. I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject not faith.” 2:15212-37 If we want to live a peaceful, prosperous life free from excessive stress, let us be thankful for the things He has already given us. After all, He could take them away. And further, ALLAH says, “If y<span class="text_exposed_show">ou are grateful, I will give you more.”<br /><br />Now for the last KEY, I have to admit here that writing can be really exhausting :)<br /><br />KEY #3, Passion and dedication.<br /></span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />3RD Key should be passion and dedication. Two important factor that ensures continuous growth in what we do. Sustained effort worth thousands more that short, hard periodic sudden last minute push.</span></span><br /><br />Passion is a very powerful tool that transcends even hark work. I have to stress that I personally believe that a passionate person can out do a heavy workaholic my huge difference. This is because passion is pure interest in the work that we do, and this thing is really powerful. If one is passionate about a particular thing, one mind will be preoccupied by things, new ideas, and problems concerning one passion. This preoccupied mind can create powerful stuff because it keeps on thinking about one particular field like a mad computer. It will massively improve our fluency in those topic (the thing that we are passionate about).<br /><br />People with passion on something will love to work for the field of his or her passion. They will work tirelessly until they reach perfection. I have seen this powerful concept at work, here in my college (Taylor's College Subang Jaya). Those 99% student is passionate in their subject. These wonderful characters will never whine about workloads, difficulties and hardships they face because they are genuinely interested in their topics.<br /><br />Huh, I have to say that I have drained all my brain's juice for this post. So, I will stop here and I hope that you like and benefited from my KEYS. I also want to note that I am still working and interested in this KEYS things, so do watch out for my upcoming posts.<span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span>A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406289013382190163.post-19363213156322403912011-01-19T00:08:00.000-08:002011-04-14T19:09:32.740-07:00Selflessness, a true sincerity.In my life, I have always been so aware of my self. What I mean is, I am always feel like my presence in this world is significant and this thought will make me to sometimes be so arrogant. But that is just a fantasy. There is nothing real about it. That experience is not real, it only happens inside the mind. Having said that, it can still have a big potential to change my real life. When my mind is preoccupied with such fantasy, it limits my brain's juices to that experience.<br /><br />Consequently, with or without knowing it, I have wasted a lot of time on that fantasy. Those valuable time, if utilized on good things, will bring a lot of goodness to me.<br /><br />It is a terrible thing this fantasy is. It corrupts me and hinders me from obtaining real life achievements. The real thing. For years, I have been living in this denial. How many opportunities and potentials that I have wasted, I don't know. The good thing is, I am still 19 years old. Young. Barely young enough, that I have still have years to correct things up.<br /><br />Selflessness for me is an integral part of human life and success. I define it to be a state of not caring anything other than to care about one's desires and actions. It may confuses you. The value of this phrase can not be obtained by just reading, chanting or remembering it. The significance of this phrase can only be gained through hardship and a true desire for success. It may sound weird. I do believe it is so. But somehow, my life's current understanding to the secret of exceptional excellence is somehow wrapped and summarized within those words.<br /><br />The implementation of this idea is simple. One should not care about what others think about oneself for the only thing that one should concern about is the achievement and actions pertaining to one's personal desire. I do believe that the mastery of this skill can make oneself a true powerful character. If implemented correctly, humans can introduce a powerful change to themselves.<br /><br />That is all for now. I will continue to write later. Hope readers can grasp my points. I may not be able to articulate it perfectly, but I have put my effort in it. And that matters.A-Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10621968827762658234noreply@blogger.com0
