Nur Amalina

Salam,

Korang igt lagi x kisah Nur Amalina ni? atau nama penuhnye Nur Amalina Che Bakri..yang berjaya mendapat 17A1 dalam peperiksaan SPM 2004. Selama ni sy penah terdengar khabar angin n ura-ura yang Nur Amalina ni dah kne 'tendang' dari Edinburgh University atas sebab gagal dalam pelajaran. Bkn sorang dua je yang bercerita tentang ni tp ramai..oleh sebab ramai yang cakap Nur Amalina ni dah kne 'tendang' then aku pun percaya la..ye la kalau sorang dua mungkin skeptic sket.

Nur Amalina berjaya mendapat biasiswa Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) utk sambung belajar di Edinburgh University dalam bidang medical.

Hari ni sy terbaca dlm website Bernama..nampaknye Nur Amalina masih lg belajar di sana dan jgk beliau merupakan antara pelajar yang terbaik. Di sebabkan beliau mendapat result yang sangat gempak..beliau di offer oleh pihak universiti utk amik 1 lg degree dalam bidang Pharmacology with Industrial Experience. Bila Nur Amalina tamat belajar..beliau akan mendapat MBChB dan jgk B Med Sc. Akronim utk ape tu..pandai2 la tnye uncle google key :).

Ntah macam mana boleh kuar cerita yg tak betul ni..boleh di katakan salah satu cara nak menjatuhkan imej Nur Amalina ni. Kepada yang pembuat cerita..dah-dah la tu..kenapa la ko nak memburukkan orang lain sesama Islam..jauhkan la rasa iri hati tu. Just improve yourself sudey..tak payah nak mengada nak jatuhkan orang lain.

Astro HD

Salam,

Berita baik kpd pelanggan2 Astro yg memiliki set televisyen yg mampu memainkan High Definition (HD) content..Astro All Asia Networks secara rasminye akan memancarkn siaran HD terus ke rumah anda pada hujung bulan Disember ni.

At last dapat jgk merasa siaran HD kat Malaysia ni..selama ni ramai yang beli tv yg mampu memainkan kandungan HD tapi masalahnye kandungan tu wujud dlm kuantiti yang kecil je. Antara kandungan HD yg lain tu adelah Blu-ray..tapi berapa byk isi rumah yang ade Blu-ray player.? Harga pn dh mencecah 4 angka. Lebih dari kemampuan kebanyakkan isi rumah di Malaysia ni.

Skrg ni tv dah canggih tapi siaran masih di tahap sub-standard analog..sebab tu gambar di tv LCD tu blur dan jgk pixelated. Di jangkakan dekoder baru akan di lancarkan Astro yg mempunyai port HDMI yakni kabel yg mampu menyalurkan signal HD video & audio.

Harap2 Astro takkan menaikkan harga langganan untuk pengguna..dan jgk dekoder tu dpt di tukar dgn harga yg berpatutan..kalo bley free lg bagus kan hehe :).

IT..Fail.

Salam,

Just saw this news article on the internet today. This article shows dat our IT security is very weak. Who should be blamed if there is data theft.? moreover the data is critical and confidential.

Sy amat bersetuju dgn mantan perdana menteri kita..Tun Mahathir Mohamad..we have 1st world infrastructure but 3rd world mentality. Ni adelah salah 1 contoh yg jelas dan nyata huhu :).


Slipper shocker at high-tech server chamber

JOHOR BARU: The state treasury’s server room, equipped with high-tech features to prevent theft, was not that secure after all.

A pair of slippers was being used as a door-stopper despite the fact that the room was fitted with a biometric thumb print reader!

Auditors made the discovery during a visit to the server room in Dec 2008.

According to the Auditor-General’s 2008 report, backed with a picture of the slipper at the door, all the other necessary features such as fire extinguishers, backup data in the server, equipment for uninterrupted power supply, anti-virus software and firewalls were available.

The report stated that the biometric entry system for the server room was not fully enforced.

This was among the problems identified when auditing the management of the state’s standard computerised accounting systems applications, known as SPEKS.

The report also revealed that overall, the SPEKS system was not up to mark and had not achieved its objective.

On the security management for SPEKS, the report showed this was also not satisfactory as users did not regularly update their passwords which could lead to hacking of the system.

SPEKS was developed at a cost of RM59.07mil to realise the Federal Govern-ment’s need for a uniform computerised accounting system in all 11 states in the peninsula.

The project development cost for Johor alone was RM6.22mil.

The development of the system covers 11 modules, which connects the state treasury with all relevant agencies.

Infatuation

Askum,

I learn a new word and definition today..Infatuation.

Does this word ring a bell? For those who doesn't know:

Infatuation -
is the state of being completely carried away by unreasoned passion or love; addictive love. Usually, one is inspired with an intense but short-lived passion or admiration for someone.
(Taken from Wikipedia)

Logically the definition above is somewhat same as Love..but it is not Love. Love as according to Wikipedia is:

a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person.

I wonder whether the feelings whenever we seeing someone is just an Infatuation or Love. Fortunately, I've found out an article that can explain this.


Is What I'm Feeling Infatuation or Love?

There are some feelings we have when infatuated that we don’t have when we’re feeling love. Some of the “symptoms” of infatuation are; feelings of panic, uncertainty, overpowering lust, feverish excitement, impatience, and/or jealously.

When infatuated, we are thrilled, but not happy, wanting to trust, yet suspicious. There are lingering, nagging doubts about our “partner in infatuation” and their love for us. We’re miserable when they’re away, almost like we’re not complete unless we’re with them. It’s a rush and it’s intense. It’s difficult to concentrate. And most infatuation relationships have a high degree of sexual charge around them. Somehow being with them is not complete unless in ends in some type of sexual encounter.

Do any of these “symptoms” resemble feelings of love? Hardly. So why do we become infatuated? Where does it come from? Perhaps it’s biological.

When infatuated we experience a surge of dopamine that rushes through the brain causing us to feel good. Norepinephrine flows through the brain stimulating production of adrenaline (pounding heart). Phenylethalimine (found in chocolate) creates a feeling of bliss. Irrational romantic sentiments may be caused by oxytocin, a primary sexual arousal hormone that signals orgasm and feelings of emotional attachment. Together these chemicals sometimes override the brain activity that governs logic.

The body can build up tolerances to these chemicals so it takes more of the substance to get that special feeling of infatuation. People who jump from relationship to relationship may be craving the intoxicating effects of these substances and may be “infatuation junkies”.

When the chemical flood dries up, the relationship either moves into a loving romantic one or there is disillusionment, and the relationship ends.
