Image Texture

Assalamualaikum.

Image Texture ~ it's my group project. We need to come out with an algorithm to read the image captured, analyze the image texture and display the result. So it requires programming. Need to produce a report too. The platform is probably using MATLAB but we haven't decide on the interface.

My assignment is out. 5 questions and submit in another 3 weeks. There is another assignment on Compression and another project on Android. So I need to discipline myself in order to ensure I manage to complete everything on time. Discipline... Motivation... Discipline... Motivation... Chocolate ice cream... ohhh so tempting... yummy!!!

It's vital for me to stay discipline. I'm a mother of two and time management is very important. Not easy to study with kids around so I need to spend most of my time at university. I've to balance my time with study and family though it's kind of hectic sometimes. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed my life now!

I adore my elder sister who is doing her PhD at the same university with me. She's a mother of four and a lecturer too. She told me, "Determination and effort must come together. To reap the fruit of success, one must be ready to work hard." She holds double Master degree in Engineering and Project Management. Her research area is Water Treatment and she receives MOSTI (Ministry of Science and Technology) grant for her research. I love you sis!

Roti canai telur? Yes, that's for breakfast tomorrow. (What am I crapping right now?) Mr. AJ said we'll have breakfast with kids at ... (maybe Satok) tomorrow morning. So good night and sweet dreams everyone!

Point to Ponder

Assalamualaikum. I found this on a friend's blog and would love to share with all.

Persistance takes discipline.
Discipline is simply doing something what you know you need to do.

I agree. And I'm giving my best to stay discipline as I aim to achieve my target this semester.

P.S. To my good friend, Rafidah; Happy Birthday, darling! Hugs n kisses from me, Iman Najiha n Muhammad.

Manusia Plastik atau Manusia Parasit?

Assalamualaikum.

Manusia plastik dan manusia parasit tergolong dalam kumpulan yang sama.

Dalam kehidupan ini, masih ada golongan insan yang tidak jujur dan berusaha untuk menunjukkan imej yang baik, sopan santun, anti-sosial, dan sebagainya. Walhal mereka cuma berpura-pura dan ini membolehkan mereka beroleh belas kasihan dari orang lain. Ada yang mengharapkan simpati dari segi kewangan, kasih sayang, perhatian, dan bla bla bla. Paling menyakitkan hati apabila mereka mengadu kesusahan yang dihadapi terutama dari segi kewangan seolah-olah mereka adalah manusia yang paling miskin di dunia ini.

Syukuri apa yang ada, hidup adalah anugerah Ilahi.

Mengapa mesti berpura-pura dan menumpang kesenangan orang lain? Mengapa tidak berusaha dan bekerja keras untuk kehidupan sendiri?

Semoga Allah S.W.T. memberi hidayah kepada golongan ini. Amiinnn...

What Is Wrong With Me?

Assalamualaikum.

I craved for Prosperity Burger...

I craved for delicious, yummy, irresistable chocolate ice cream...

I craved for food...

What is wrong with me?

Is it the hormonal imbalance in me or is it just a normal situation if you're under stressed?

I'm currently searching for a suitable topic in Image Processing area. Still blur about this research thing...

I love my new lecturers for this semester. Girl Power! As all the subjects taken are taught by female lecturers and all are Phd. holders. They're superb and amazing! Really adore them.

Now I'm doing some assignments and lab works for Image Processing subject. So good night everyone. See you soon!

Bukan Mata Tidak Melihat Tapi Hati Itu Buta

Assalamualaikum.
.
Bukan mata tidak melihat tapi hati itu buta.
.
Kita digalakkan untuk bersangka baik sesama insan namun masih ada yang cuba mengambil kesempatan di atas kebaikan kita. Berhati-hati dalam menjalani kehidupan. Terlalu mudah mempercayai kata-kata orang lain juga boleh memudaratkan kita. Ada insan yang manis bertutur kata tetapi hati tidak seikhlas bicara.
.
Mudah-mudahan Allah S.W.T. sentiasa melindungi kita dari orang-orang yang berniat jahat dan cuba mengambil kesempatan ke atas diri kita. Amiin...
.
***Suami tercinta mengingatkan diri ini agar sentiasa menjalin hubungan yang baik dengan sesiapa sahaja tetapi berpada-pada dalam memberi kepercayaan. Mudah untuk menjalin persahabatan katanya. Namun sukar untuk menjaga hubungan itu andainya ada sahabat yang tidak ikhlas terhadap kita. Terima kasih suamiku.

Life is Hectic Again

Assalamualaikum to all.

I've started my classes. More labs, reading, writing, and bla bla bla. Good news... I've found a suitable lappy for me to carry around. It's from Acer. Gonna cost me RM1800 to RM2200. I plan to purchase it end of this month. It's 11' with higher specification. Smaller but powerful. So I can carry it around in my big bag and helps me to stop complaining about my shoulder. My 14' lappy is quite heavy. Plus I need to carry it to the lab, classroom, library, office, etc.

Mmm... I've started teaching today. Had prepared everything so it's easier for me to conduct my lecture and lab. After teaching, I've discussion with my coursemate on our lab exercise. Hihihi... so funny. It's just a simple lab exercise but we really drilled out mind today. Thank u Ms. Fu!

Mr. AJ went travelling and will be back tomorrow. Sorry sweetheart! I was too tired and our kids were off to bed earlier. Will give you a call tomorrow morning k!

It's 4 am in the morning now. I couldn't sleep and my mind is still thinking about the lab exercise. It's an exercise on Digital Image Processing using Matlab. Ok. Will delay it to tomorrow morning. I need to sleep.

Good night (or morning?) everyone!

It's Never Too Late

Assalamualaikum to all...

It's never too late, or too early, to be whoever you want to be
There's no time limit
Start whenever you want
You can change or stay the same
There are no rules to this thing
We can make the best or worst of it
I hope we can make the best of it
Feel things you never felt before
Meet people with a different point of view
Live life you're proud of...

I'm a Student

Salam to all. It's Monday again...

I've started my new semester. Just received a new topic for report writing~HD Technology. Submission is before revision week. Also taking Image Processing this semester and compulsary to take Research Methodology. Mmm... need to search for a topic. Anything in mind? Not yet actually... Need to select my own supervisor and present my proposal before end of this semester. (sigh...)

Work smart... but also work hard...

I'm mentally prepared for this. Insya Allah! Mudah-mudahan semuanya dipermudahkan Allah S.W.T.

More labs this semester. Programming is included as well. My lecturer planned to let us design a board connected to a device, with coding implemented, and it's part of our project. Oh my!

What else? I've just lost 3 kg last week due to my bad gastric. I guess more to lose this coming weeks... Hihihi...

Anyway, this is student's life! I'm a student. Except with two rascals running aside (hahaha...) and lots of other responsibilities as well. I'm teaching Human Computer Interaction again this semester and I did my planning already~lab exercise, assignments, quizzes, mid term exam, final exam, etc. I hope my teaching is more exciting this semester and students will enjoy my class.

I'm also looking for a smaller lappy. 10.1' preferably but with higher specification. Not Intel Atom please. In conclusion, I need a smaller lappy with higher specification. Well, I'm dealing with programming and design but also need to carry my lappy around. I heard Lenovo had released one. So I'm waiting for others to release too. At least I've more choices...

Going to purchase refill for the printer at home. Huhuhu... Very expensive though. It's a high quality laser printer and the cost is high as well. So being a smart girl (girl?), I asked Mr. AJ to share with me~50%. Hahaha... My problem solved then. At least I can save my budget lor...

Alright, boys and girls! Mommy is tired. Need to sleep early tonight. Going to send Muhammad and my sister Farah to their school tomorrow morning, drop by at college for a while; I need to meet Mr. Lee (my colleague; he's an engineering lecturer), fetch Muhammad from school, do some reading, and bla bla bla...

Good night everyone!
