haha...i kinda feel miss him a bit. my second younger brother, huzaifah, went to MRSM yesterday. and i feel kinda lonely. cause there's nobody i can yell at...oh, i still have my youngest brother to fight with...hehe.
my parents were the happiest as soon as he was offered that. i can see through their faces...alhamdulillah my dad dreams to see at least one of his son to be a hafiz, may come true. huzaifah will be studying in MRSM Gemencheh which offers the ulul albab program. they will be studying academic courses and also hafaz al-quran on the same time. he was the first batch. insyallah, u can do it huzaifah.

Sample Cover Letter for Journal Manuscript Resubmissions
by Roy F. Baumeister
Dear Sir, Madame, or Other:
Enclosed is our latest version of Ms # 85-02-22-RRRRR, that is, the re-re-re-revised revision of our paper. Choke on it. We have again rewritten the entire manuscript from start to finish. We even changed the goddamn running head! Hopefully we have suffered enough by now to satisfy even you and your bloodthirsty reviewers.
I shall skip the usual point-by-point description of every single change we made in response to the critiques. After all, it is fairly clear that your reviewers are less interested in details of scientific procedure than in working out their personality problems and sexual frustrations by seeking some kind of demented glee in the sadistic and arbitrary exercise of tyrannical power over helpless authors like ourselves who happen to fall into their clutches. We do understand that, in view of the misanthropic psychopaths you have on your editorial board, you need to keep sending them papers, for if they weren't reviewing manuscripts they'd probably be out mugging old ladies or clubbing baby seals to death. Still, from this batch of reviewers, C was clearly the most hostile, and we request that you not ask him or her to review this revision. Indeed, we have mailed letter bombs to four or five people we suspected of being reviewer C, so if you send the manuscript back to them the review process could be unduly delayed.
Some of the reviewers' comments we couldn't do anything about. For example, if (as review C suggested) several of my recent ancestors were indeed drawn from other species, it is too late to change that. Other suggestions were implemented, however, and the paper has improved and benefited. Thus, you suggested that we shorten the manuscript by 5 pages, and we were able to accomplish this very effectively by altering the margins and printing the paper in a different font with a smaller typeface. We agree with you that the paper is much better this way.
One perplexing problem was dealing with suggestions #13-28 by Reviewer B. As you may recall (that is, if you even bother reading the reviews before doing your decision letter), that reviewer listed 16 works that he/she felt we should cite in this paper. These were on a variety of different topics, none of which had any relevance to our work that we could see. Indeed, one was an essay on the Spanish-American War from a high school literary magazine. The only common thread was that all 16 were by the same author, presumably someone whom Reviewer B greatly admires and feels should be more widely cited. To handle this, we have modified the Introduction and added, after the review of relevant literature, a subsection entitled "Review of Irrelevant Literature" that discusses these articles and also duly addresses some of the more asinine suggestions in the other reviews.
We hope that you will be pleased with this revision and will finally recognize how urgently deserving of publication this work is. If not, then you are an unscrupulous, depraved monster with no shred of human decency. You ought to be in a cage. May whatever heritage you come from be the butt of the next round of ethnic jokes. If you do accept it, however, we wish to thank you for your patience and wisdom throughout this process and to express our appreciation of your scholarly insights. To repay you, we would be happy to review some manuscripts for you; please send us the next manuscript that any of these reviewers submits to your journal.
Assuming you accept this paper, we would also like to add a footnote acknowledging your help with this manuscript and to point out that we liked the paper much better the way we originally wrote it but you held the editorial shotgun to our heads and forced us to chop, reshuffle, restate, hedge, expand, shorten, and in general convert a meaty paper into stir-fried vegetables. We couldn't, or wouldn't, have done it without your input.
Sincerely,

Aint u sweet?
Hoho..the price of sugar became an issue again ne...well, i dont really have an interest in going to the details of the issue...sugar is sure good to be added into something bitter right. there's a say something like "sugaring the pills..." and many more. so the function is just to wash away the bitterness. but if u can stand the bitterness, then u dont have to use sugar at all. insyallah you will be diabetes-free :). but i cant stand the bitterness!! that's why i must have sugar...and maybe extra...erks...that's no good. for a healthy diet, you are recommended for only 75gram of sugar only per day...so? how's ur daily sugar intake? mine is worst :(. i need to practice more bitterness in my life...ekeke. well, there's a plant called stevia. click the name if u wanna know more on it.
This stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Medical research has also shown possible benefits of stevia in treating obesity and high blood pressure (source: wikipedia).
wow, that's great ne. but why on earth did we not use it?? japan had used it a long time ago. well, the answer was that it was banned in US in year 1991. it was said to have toxin and has a mutagen presence. but it was controversial and was debated. however, recently, in December 2008, the FDA gave a "no objection" approval for GRAS status to Truvia (developed by Cargill and The Coca-Cola Company) and PureVia (developed by PepsiCo and the Whole Earth Sweetener Company, a subsidiary of Merisant), both of which are wholly-derived from the Stevia plant (source: wikipedia). since japan had used it a long time ago, and had no issues with obesity (the worldwide phenomena of diet-related disease), why dont we have a try??
but, somehow it may have an impact to the US since they are currently the world largest sugar tradeholder. hoho...think about it....

I am sailing, I am sailing,
Home again cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.
I am flying, I am flying,
Like a bird cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
To be with you, to be free.
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Thro the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.
We are sailing, we are sailing,
Home again cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh lord.

My english teacher
last night, i went to surau annur. dr badrul amin delivered a nice talk on maal hijrah. he explained the meaning of hijrah. at that time, hijrah was compulsory. and it took a lot of sacrifices to hijrah. and only those who really love Allah and His Rasul will obey and abide to Allah's order to hijrah. and our prophet prays to Allah before his hijr something like this "Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku keluar dari negeri yang aku cintai, maka Engkau berikanlah kepadaku negeri yang Kau cintai"...therefore Medina is the place that Allah's love...Dr Badrul Amin said u can observe the difference between Mecca and Medina in terms of its environment, landscape, the arab people and many more...i hope i can be there someday...insyallah
and,
i met my english teacher too there, Pn Wan Hidayati...she taught me when i was in form 1-3 (i almost forgot that until she told me...ahaks) and the most thing that made me happy was she noticed me first and called my name perfectly...she really has a strong memory...thanks teacher for all ur valuable knowledge u had poured in us
but she wears tudung...this picture is only for illustration purposes

Sort of...
in the academia line, if u dont publish, u perish. well, to make it clear it's like if u dont produce paper u'll be pauper!! is it right?? who cares...im writing again because im sleepy and have absolutely zero mood to finish up my writing...in the morning the moods came excitedly and suddenly fade away in afternoon. how hard i try to write, it still doesnt help...in searching of the mood, i opened a new entry here...alhamdullillah ive submitted my second article to be checked by my supervisor this morning. but now im stucked in the evening without having the eagerness at all in writing the thesis. my due is around the corner. by hook or by crook, i must submit it early of this december. i thought i wanna write some stories during my visit to Bangkok but since the pictures were at home, i dont have the anxiety to write on that too...haha. so, what's the point of this n3 anyway?? nothing..seriously nothing at all. im just keeping my fingers working so they are not going to be hiatus as my mood are right now...and colleagues around me will be thinking im super seriously doing my work hard...aint that a hardworking girl we haf there?? haha... well, the fact is not! im not being hypocrite just being Hippocrates for a while...ekeke. well, i really wanna finish my thesis because i hardly cannot bear any longer..it's like you piggy back a 120kg kid or u're shouldering a big rock that wont go down...better finish up soon and get rid of my laziness. so, i have the mood back and im going to start writing back. writing is actually exciting but when u have lack of reference and start to find some, it'll be extraordinary sleepy...this is based on me not others experience kay...bubai.
