Praying Robot

Sem lepas, saya mengambil matapelajaran Mechatronics System Design (MSD), salah satu subject core di dalam Mechatronics Engineering. Antara yang menarik adalah berkaitan bioloid robot yang di 'demostrated' oleh Br. Zulkifli. Antara aktiviti menarik robot tersebut adalah solat. Robot juga bersolat?.. Enjoy the youtube..

PERSPEKTIF: KAMPUS MEDAN TERBAIK DEBAT POLITIK

Walaupun artikel ini di'publish' pada tahun 2007. Tetapi saya merasakan ia sangat baik untuk dikongsi bersama sahabat-sahabat yang masih menganggap kampus hanyalah sekdar tempat kita belajar dan berpersatuan [persatuan ala dak sekolah]..

PERSPEKTIF: KAMPUS MEDAN TERBAIK DEBAT POLITIK

ISNIN lalu, Universiti Columbia di New York mengundang Presiden Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad berceramah kepada sekumpulan pelajar dan pensyarahnya. Seperti dijangka, pelbagai pihak di Amerika Syarikat (AS) yang terpengaruh atau bersekongkol dengan Presiden Bush atau mempunyai kepentingan politik tertentu dan menuduh Ahmadinejad dengan perkara yang bukan-bukan mengecam penganjuran ceramah itu, malahan mendesak supaya ia dibatalkan.

Tetapi, ceramah itu tetap diadakan. Tidak mengapalah jika Presiden universiti itu, Lee Bollinger, memberikan ucapan pengenalan yang tidak sopan, manakala ucapan Ahmadinejad pula tidak sebaik yang disampaikannya pada Perhimpunan Agung Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) pada keesokan harinya.

Yang pentingnya ialah universiti itu berpegang teguh dengan kebebasan akademiknya dalam menganjurkan ceramah membabitkan pemimpin politik yang berhaluan bertentangan dan tidak tunduk kepada tekanan politik dari luar, manakala Ahmadinejad membuktikan keberaniannya berhadapan dengan mahasiswa, apalagi dalam keadaan yang diketahuinya akan menjadi panas baginya.

When you feel all alone in this world

Allah knowsAllah knows

When you carrying a monster load

And you wonder how far you can go

With every step on that road that you take

Allah knowsAllah knows

CHORUS
No matter what, inside or out

There’s one thing of which there’s no doubt

Allah knowsAllah knows

And whatever lies in the heavens and the earth

Every star in this whole universe

Allah knowsAllah knows

When you find that special
someone

Feel your whole life has barely begun

You can walk on the moon, shout it to everyone

Allah knowsAllah knows

When you gaze with love in your
eyes

Catch a glimpse of paradise

And you see your child take the first
breath of life

Allah knowsAllah knows

CHORUS
When you lose someone close to your heart

See your whole world fall apart

And you try to go on but it seems
so hard

Allah knowsAllah knows

You see we all have a path to
choose

Through the valleys and hills we go

With the ups and the downs, never fret never frown

Allah knowsAllah knows

CHORUS

BRIDGE:Every grain of sand,

In every desert land, He knows.

Every shade of palm,Every closed hand, He knows.

Every sparkling tear,On every eyelash, He knows.

Every thought I have,And every word I share, He knows.

Allah knows.

Kedah Menang di Ipoh

Tujuh gol dan satu kad merah menjadi santapan para penyokong di Stadium Perak di Ipoh apabila pendahulu Liga Super, Kedah mengamuk ke atas pasukan tuan rumah, Perak dengan kemenangan 5-2 di dalam perlawanan menarik malam tadi.

Kemenangan itu membolehkan Kedah terus kekal menerajui takhta dengan 16 mata selepas 8 perlawanan sambil diekori rapat oleh Selangor dan Negeri Sembilan yang juga dengan 16 mata tetapi dipisahkan dengan jumlah jaringan.

Perlawanan antara kedua-dua pasukan ini sememangnya boleh dikata sentiasa ‘panas’ dengan aksi keras kedua-dua pasukan dan malam ini Khalid Jamlus menjadi mangsa kad merah apabila dia ditunjukkan jalan keluar akibat bentesan yang keras terhadap pemain import Kedah, Nelson Sam Martin pada awal babak kedua.

Namun terlebih dahulu pasukan tuan rumah menggembirakan para penyokong mereka apabila Khalid yang berjaya melepasi kekangan Victor Andrag setelah mendapat lorongan cantik dari Ahmad Sharul Azhar dengan mudah berjaya menolak bola melepasi jangkauan Helmi Eliza Elias untuk gol pertama ketika perlawanan baru berusia 4 minit.

Ingat lagi dengan Edmund Hillary??

Edmund Hillary, first to conquer Everest, dies

SYDNEY, Australia (AP): Friends and colleagues of Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to climb the world's highest peak, remembered him Friday as a dogged adventurer with a generous spirit.

Hillary, who together with Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, reached the summit of Mt. Everest on May 29, 1953, winning him renown as one of the greatest adventurers of the last century.

He died Friday, at 88, New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark announced in a statement that paid tribute to his courage, determination, and humble personality.

"Sir Ed described himself as an average New Zealander with modest abilities,'' Clark said. "In reality, he was a colossus. He was a heroic figure who not only 'knocked off' Everest but lived a life of determination, humility, and generosity.''

Across the Tasman Sea, Australia's acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard, standing in for vacationing Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, said Hillary's name would forever "be synonymous with adventure, with achievement, with dreaming and then making those dreams come true.''
"It was obviously a long life well lived,'' Gillard told Sky News television. "For generations to come people will study what Sir Edmund has achieved by being the first to get to the top of the world.''

Two years after his historic Everest climb, Hillary helped lead a team from the Commonwealth across Antarctica to the South Pole, carving a new path to the Earth's magnetic southernmost point.

Flags at New Zealand's Scott Base, which Hillary helped build in 1957, flew at half-mast Friday, as workers remembered his final visit to the icy continent last year to mark the 50th anniversary of the base.

Hillary, who was 87 at the time, described his visit to Antarctica as "a marvelous return,'' but said he believed it would be his last.

"We're just going to sorely miss a guy who was just a pillar of New Zealand's national identity in Antarctica,'' said Lou Sanson, chief executive of Antarctica New Zealand. "It's a sad day for New Zealand and it was just such a privilege to be able to share that 50th anniversary with him.''
Hillary died at Auckland Hospital early Friday, Clark's office said. He had been ailing for several years, but no cause of death was immediately given.

New Zealand climber Graham Dingle, who began climbing with Hillary in 1970, remembered him as one of the most determined people he had ever met, honest sometimes to a fault, and relentless in his pursuit of any goal - whether on mountains or in his personal life.

"He recently said to someone that he was quite flexible when it came to changing his plans. I think he was most inflexible - to the point of extreme doggedness,'' Dingle told The Associated Press. "That was the great thing about him, really, that once he built up some momentum it was very hard to stop him.''

British actor and mountaineer Brian Blessed, best known for his roles in Shakespearean films and plays, described Hillary as "a man of tremendous generosity, a great giant of a man,'' pointing to his tireless humanitarian work in Nepal, the tiny, mountainous country that propelled him to worldwide fame.

Hillary spent decades pouring energy and resources from his own fundraising efforts into Nepal through the Himalayan Trust he founded in 1982.

Known as "burra sahib'' - "big man,'' for his 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 meters) - by the Nepalese, Hillary funded and helped build hospitals, health clinics, airfields and schools, and raised funds for higher education for Sherpa families.

p/s: Teringat lagi ketika kanak-kanak, kami kerap berteka teki berkaitan Siapa orang pertama yang mendaki Everest? kemudia sape yang kedua? Siapa pula yang pertama mendarat di bulan. Belum terfikir lagi siapa muslim pertama ke ruang angkasa or rakyat malaysia pertama ke sana?
