The End of 2012

It is 13 Dec now, soon we will face the 2013. There are so many prediction, assumption of what 2012 will over...some do materialized, but some will be as testimonial how prediction could never be relied on to. The biggest blunder is the 2012 will be the doomsday, the end of the world. Such an enormous efforts were carried out by certain people, scientists to predict what has been said by god, Allah, only He will know the exact moment of the doomsday.

Why many people, such as scientists are so keen to explore when the world will be ended? The reason behind it is MONEY. Many people make money by instigating fear, fear of the doomsday. Even many makes money through spreading fears, rumors and these people even go to the extent using scientific measurements or even digging into past civilization to show how the world will end.

As a scientist, I believe it is good to have this kind of prediction, instigating fears to people, beside getting more money it also promote the love to nature, earth and religion. I wonder, how long will the world able to exist with the rate of human destruction increase exponentially and seem the more we created invention, technology the more we destroy the world and its environment. Just another point of view to ponder.

Learning

What is learning?
Now before we started answering this big question let us do the opposite way.

Let start not to learn anything? Is it possible if we wanted to not learning anything? Well....in this case, I don't know when did I ever not learning anything....while eating...I still learn something, or at least I still trying my best not to make mistake while chewing my food. Well, "trying not to make mistake" is learning, cause we use our previous experience, to make sure that we will not making any mistake while chewing, munching the food. Or Else, we could bite our own tongue...or choking to death. Still we are learning.

Now, look at the term learning again...it involve the ability to recall our previous memories, experiences and even some kind of stored information in our brain. Therefore, the more we try to organise our information, knowledge in our brain...we should be a better, knowledgeable person. We become learned. Therefore, I can make a definite conclusion, that you will only stop learning....at the time you stop breathing.

So let start learning something...cause it let our body and soul, become alive...or else, it is time for you to say bye-bye.

Learning to use Blog and link to FB

Well, this is my first attempt to use Blog and link it to my FB.

Just to let you know that:
1. I am always trying to learn new things...although I have my PhD, that could be said as achieving the highest academic qualification...but without new knowledge, we will at the loosing edge. Therefore, to my children and students, please always do some kind of projects, as it always teach us new things and letting us get new "weapon" to be able to survive in the chaotic world of ours.

2. Documentation is one things that the Malays at weak at....but today we have a lot of tools to make our documentation much at ease and letting people know that civilization is actually base on the ability to document knowledge properly...so let start writing and share it with others.

New Master Student.

A new master student, Shikin has registered and I am looking forward to proceed with my research.

It is a bit difficult, as I have not receive any research grant lately and seem the Malaysian government and the evaluators for research grant failed to understand my research interest. Nevertheless, an Australian Professor, which I managed to meet at a conference last year, believed in my research interest and has sent me a chamber that can let me explore laser irradiation to polymers.

Well, hope I will manege to get research grant by April...if not, I need to wait before I could assemble the equipments I received from Prof. John O'Connor, Newcastle university.
