I'm in the cul-de-sac thinking

It’s earlly in the morning and I still wide awake fellas.

Since I have plethora of time, then my nocturnal refuses to conquer my bed time. So what am I doing in this early morning? Well, I spend my time with my reading activities which is a part of my routine. So my times is used wisely. Am still waiting for the faculty to give my thesis for the correction. Hopefully they can give it as soon as possible coz I will fly again to Kuching, which almost certainly in the midst of November due to biz trips (agian and again). As far as I disquiet, the faculty still has not got any readers for it. Gosh! Wow, the time is moving so swiftly and the scariest thing is, we are heading to the end of year. Now, UKM is having its exams weeks. I will fly to Kuching once Pembuak kek has finished her exams. Pembuat kek has one more paper to go which is Statistics Methods- the subject that makes me not that really dull to the scientific calculation. After pembuat kek finished the last paper, then I have few days to spend with her. I’ll be in Kuching almost for 2 months. I bet I miss pembuat kek like crazy! In the mean time, while waiting for pembuat kek to end the last paper, I am spending my times to do my reading on several topics which I would start to engrave especially for the purpose of my PhD. By the way, talking about the end of this year, I find my self that I have been doing almost 70% of my plans which have been planned for the year 2008. For instance, I put my speed up to read more and more (even faster) for many issues and disciplines. I bet that am in the same track to the previous ‘Josh; (read my resolution for 2008 by navigating the December’s post for the 2007) who comes with the aim to become more independent all the ways he wants to be, especially, when he is being in the horizon of knowledges. So I think I can be more and more articulate to discuss everything under the sun compared to previous ‘Josh’.

Well, I have 2 rough topics to be chosen for my PhD proposal which are 1. Writing and Speaking development methods using Linguistics Tools (Under the filed of English Linguistic and TESL) Or
2. Sustainable Index for the rural areas development : The case study: economic and transposition index in agriculture areas ( Under the filed of Urban and Town Planning).


I have a reason for each topic I have made. I come with the first topic because nowadays we always face the old state of affair about people who have the problem to master the English. Some of them have a good sound of English but connection of the flow of writing with the vocabulary is almost suck. Yet, some of them are good in writing but then the connectivity of ideas and words used are so bored and a bit indistinctness (does this state of affair make you think that you are good in the language?) Let me count, how many years have you spend your time to study the language? Sorry for my outspoken mind- I was an editor for an instructor who has a Bachelor, Master and PhD from the UK and yet the English is so upside down! She is good in speaking but then in writing, the syntax is so upside down!The most horrible thing is, when the person is so educated then she or he keens to create unknown sentence structures which is going to be fitted in a page. Not to mention with full of the ambiguity of vocabularies in the pages.That why, we cant understand what the hell they are talking about. So, I come to my own entomologies of idea where, even you may sound almost perfect to the language but then when the flow of your language (words (vocabulary), meaning(semantic and pragmatic) and the flow of writing-the system of writing) is not strong or being in the “same page” with each other, then it means that there still a lack of English essentials in you. Am not talking am so good tho. Yet, am still studying more and more on how to improve my self. So, here I come with a linguistic device to construct a model which can help us to be more like “mat salleh” when we need to speak in English. Hence, Teacher Emy Kadam says that Linguistic has less prominent to gratify me with the future prospects. Eventhough Emy has English as her major but then she is currently not teaching English tho. So kesian kan but no need to me to dialouge her "kesian" in my blog..ahakss.Shall we go for the next line?

Ok, for the second topic, I do have an interest to create some new improvements to the rural areas especially how to preserve the rural areas, especially the agricultures areas, to make it more sound sustainable which be able to cater the future generations. Not to deny that agriculture sector has major impact on our economic development. The degrading of agriculture productivity due to the lack of sustainable actions will make your place hunger for raw materials and by the end of the day, it is not surprisingly that , for instance, we need to do a lot of export for those sands, solid and water (for instance). If there were no all these elements, so how can we go the nation of being developed country? How we can develope our manufacturing sector? In development, we will say that particular country has a good development by taking into account the facilities provided by the goverment and also by considering the human capital index as an indicator to measure which levels of development are we. Will the architecture and engineering disipline will be the main actor in providing the good infrastructure and other facilities while we are having the shortage of raw materials? Well, I wont elaborate more on this. So ,know am in the department of digging and digging more matterials to be read in order for me to be more articulate to what i am looking for and it has to come with passion to do the PhD. Frankly speaking i do it for pleasure and not for having a big cash. If you want to be a big spender then go for the bussiness line then. Who cares?

I am still in the mood of love tho. Thinking about pembuat kek. So sweet when out of blue pembuat kek sms-ed me then asked me to listen the song by Acha (sampai menutup mata) if I am wondering what does she think at this moment. Listening to this song makes me realize that Jlo’s dialing tone has the same melody to the “sampai menutup mata” song. OMG, baru I perasan that the song is so placid and the wording is so goosebumps. Gosh, I really cant wait to me pembuat kek tomorrow and in order to answering your question by using the song as your sweet metaphora, then I will certainly respon to you by saing these:-


In every romance, there will be times of ups and downs that test the strength of our love for each other. As I've learned, each downturn only makes me want you more.Having to part with you, even for a second, is really painful for me tho. In the course of times we have been together, you have changed me a lot and it makes me more sentitive to what you like and dislikes. You have taught me the meaning of appreication, patience and humility which above all, kindness that puts yourself behind others. I do not give a shit about how many admirers I have waiting in line. It is not them that my heart desires. It is you, and only you. I hope I have not been a disappointment to you. Warrpering my warm arms all over your body, with my nose being pressed against your cheek, coddling in your fragrance and softness of love, is the sweetest feeling of love I ever have.

Nah, i really cant wait for tommorow. My mind is keep on singging the quitoxic wordings.


till then, am off for now fellas.

xoxoxox Josh.

My feeling is tagged by this Buzz

My pembuat kek gives a lovely song and which has a total meaning of her heart. What a lovely melodrama thing tho. So here i am, i share and tribute this song to all of you my readers..



Acha Septriasa - Sampai Menutup Mata

Embun di pagi buta
Menebarkan bau asa
Detik demi detik ku hitung
Inikah saat ku pergi
Oh Tuhan ku cinta dia
Berikanlah aku hidup
Takkan ku sakiti dia
Hukum aku bila terjadi

(Korus)
Aku tak mudah mencintai
Aku tak mudah mengaku ku cinta
Aku tak mudah mengatakan
Aku jatuh cinta


Senandungku hanya untuk cinta
Tirakatku hanya untuk engkau
Tiada dusta sumpah ku cinta
Sampai ku menutup mata
Cintaku sampai ku menutup mata


Oh Tuhan ku cinta dia
Berikanlah aku hidup
Takkan ku sakiti dia
Hukum aku bila terjadi

Today entertaiment buzz- To make you feel my love by Adele




When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your caseI
could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you fell my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
And I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's not doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' like me yet
There and nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love











*This song has a beautiful and placid arrangment. Yet, the lyric means so much as it flows with the rythme of love and cares. Gosh, it makes my senses keep on crawling to listen more and more for this song. I tribute this song to those who are looking for love, losing their love and in the making of love. Listening to this song makes i my seft, personaly, feel humble and 'down to earth" to the person loves you for no regret to what you are and who you are... This can be a really sweet song for the weeding scene. By the way, i tribute this song to my bebe-pembuat kek..Thumb up to Adele for bringing this song with a unquie range of voice. Good in making the simple yet nice placement of the tone and also the flow of the sound. Till then, enjoy of listening the song (by clicking the below link). Do sing together with me, will ya?

Quicky posting

Cheer up


Hai peeps,

Today am feeling a bit release due to the fact that one of my projects has been done , successfully. One of my clients agrees to do the payment and am kind of waiting for the “fruit” with both hands. Need to work more harder coz too much things I need to settle especially to makes sure that I have enough bucks to support my PhD. God’s will, perhaps am thinking to buy some properties next year. One of my friends bought 2 Semi Ds and he merged both together. So great tho and am so envy on that. Am dreaming on a Mediterranean home style. But the most imperative thing, what I learn in business line, you need to show ur result then people will take it as a positive perspective on you. That why in the early stage of doing business people will put a little bit of their investment on a car. Picture this, let’s say that you are targeting a big project and it worth to you, and in fact you are totally qualified for the project. What would u do? To convince people that you are qualified, would u show your housing grad to your client to make an attestation that you are really a bizman? Or let’s say that your property is in the making , would u bring them to the “in the making” thing? Or just showing your bank account to testimony that you own almost 5 figure income in a month? That are so scarstic and show off things to be done. Just put this state of affairs in yourselves, would u do a business affair with someone who physically has not really convinces your gut feeling? For sure you are truly make your step vigilantly when it come to trust other people coz you don’t want to be called as an asshole who is effortlessly being cheated . Especially when it comes to a big cash. Me neither! So, hopefully this coming January I can get my dream car. I’ll talk about it in the next post once if officially have in. the clue- am dreaming about a first car which is above 100K. God’s will tho. Just be patient aite?

Not that really goose bumps thing but when you do something with your truly heart and efforts and once in a while you are in upside down, then you really be pleased about every single drop of your efforts. Nah, am not in actual fact be bothered about what people think about me. The most essential thing is “I really care about what I think about them’. Coz they don’t feed you when u are starving for a stable and cozy life. Those people won’t help you with their both hands for you to hold on. A good friend doesn’t even bother about what you are b rather than to know what is happen to you. Hardly to make our plans be in the line as what we want too. Should I say, not that unproblematic to make our plan in the same page with us, literally. But then, at least, having lot of plans will help us not to depend on one plan only. So it is excellent that we can straightforwardly do some quick proxies. Talking about “replacement” , am listening to the song “Irreplaceable” by a darn funny singer. The song seems to be a prodigy to the real one. Where a lot of funny and scarstic things towards girls. Really nice and cute voice tho even it sounds a bit taboo. So of people say it is sang by Neyo but I bet it wasn’t by him.

I just had my lunch with bebe. Pembuat kek looks nice today. Really nice and supreb. compred to the weeks where pembuat kek felt so tension with the surrounding around her. Well, pembuat kek helps me a lot and i tight my heart for you, bebe. (wink) Credit to u bebe.


I guess, need to stop till here. Will catch up with your guys again once I have time to reload some bumper issues for the next posting.

Movie of this month




It’s been quite long time for me not to update with any type of entertainment buzz. Well, today, I choose “Good Luck Chuck” as the movie of the month. Some of you might raise ur eyebrow or drawn when am talking about the movie. I have been watching the movie for many times. Dane Cook is a natural romantic comedian, I guess. My credits go to him. Also Jessica Alba is really good being ‘clumsy’ as the script wants too. Well, what I can say about this movie? It is so romantic, spectacular charming for most of its’ scenes, and sometime we may wish that we want to find a love as easy and romantic and what Cook and Alba have. The love finding is so “bed of roses’ I guess. It makes me be pleased about the love I have and how I wish to be in the scene of being falling in love at the first sight or during the first date. Gosh, the movie makes me to be in the castle in the sky where I can fall in love again and again, above all, when the first time u feel the angle of love shoots a love bow in a straight line to the center of your heart (wink).

Back to the movie, well, nobody will have such a significant chance as both Cook and Alba have. Cook, who is being cursed as what his mind tells him, finds his love in the most quixotic ways and totally hostile with the “terminology of cursing, literally. The traits of being gawky and klutzy of Alba makes Cook occupies his heart for her. Such a unique remarks which tells apart Alba with other chicks who only want to be fucked by Cook for the reason of meeting up with the soul mate after 1 fucking shoot. That makes the story becomes passionate comedian as both of them. Thank god that I have the movie in my pc. So I can keep on watching the movie for the soul rejuvenation. I like the song which is entitled “shut me out” by Aidan Hawken which is one of the songs for the movie. To me, the song has so simple wordings and one of the best words which create a center of attention the most are:-

If I could start all over with you again,I'd change the way the story ends.I'd try my best to help you along,If ever there's anything wrong,But I know you gotta be moving on.

Here is the link for you guys if you want to listen to the song. Believe me, listening to this song makes you want to fall in love again and again……

Besides that, Hawken has a soft tone of voice. His sweet chestura makes the song seems to be live and get to the line of the scene where Cook tries to fix the things and say that “the thing you love maybe needed to let go”. The voice which is a bit husky and it makes the wordings sound romantic to ears. Nice projection of the voice tho. Husky yet soft. Rough but with a soft and silky edge. He is not singing from his throat all the way and that why Hawken’s tone can be heard clearly even the song is so slow (melody arrangement). I am sure he uses his diaphragm more and supports his voice and this makes u can hear the full potential of what his instrument (Oral production organ) can do.

Bravo to the production teams and also to the greats romantic actors-Cook and Alba.

Loveeeeeeeeeeee it..

Kickin' alive

Hai fellas,

So long that I have not updated my writing here. Seems that all bumpers issues are not longer a bumper issue anymore. Gosh..Sorry for the sleep through winter of me. Dear gentle readers, you all might wondering what has happened to me since that I have not rare to keep posted.

I have been so busy for my viva voice for the thesis. I bet it is so hard to do a research based thesis rather than doing a project writing. Dealing with data, descriptive and inference statistical analysis drives u insane. Accumulating till know, I spent almost 18 credit hours for the thesis or even more I guess. Gosh. So pain- money and effort. Not to mention when u need to focus to one thing only. So now, am feel so leave go of for that. Btw, in the time am so eventful with the viva voice and also post-correction after my external reader read my thesis, then I have a month to inclusive those correction. Hard to match what your supervisor wants and what the external wants. So the tag” life is hard to be pleased” is totally to “down to earth” to me. Many things happened lately and these things makes me hard to start my update. So many things I want to share with you all dear gentle readers. My housmate was a victim to the dengue fever and this taman perumahan is considered as the high risk of dengue in Kajang area. What comes to my curiosity is, my areas is filled by those educated renters and owners but then I cant imagine how come the area becomes dengue’s territory? Based on my logical opinion, in the case of town planning, it happens when the density is above the limit it should be and then, the area are too close to other suburban which means that, in my area, we have in about 2-3 “taman’ near by with us and we are separated with other “taman’ only with 500m (approximately). And also garbage facilities are still inappropriate plus the density management it so weak. Not to mention that there would be more than 15 unit of shop houses left near to our place. So intimidating and bloodcurdling scenario tho. Nowadays, the vector control will be here and there to do the forging. Besides my scary story which made me so buzy for hiding from the stupid dengue, I was demanding to be an adjunct to my babe for the furniture and lighting stuffs. Oh ya, I love chandelier, especially when it comes from Egypt and you can totally be able to figure out which one is made from Egypt by looking into the types of crystal shape and cutting. So one lovely night, a chandelier which cost RM 2,800 is purchased.

Not to mention that, since July and till October, I was to busy to fly here and there (KL to Kch) for biz trips. Lately I am so tired to be on plane. Busy with my consultancy project. My cool buddies and I are doing some consultancy biz projects. Well, so many things to be considered and glad that today, almost 70% of it are totally done. At this midst of November I will be flew again to Kch. During those period, July – October, I only had few times to pay a visit to my parents which was during hari raya break. I have just spent 5days with them. Managed to pay hari raya visit to some of my close friends and also my biz partners in crime. Even that I always drop to Kuching but hardly have adequate time to pay them a visit at Kapit. It just that from Kuching to Kapit will need you to spend 15 mins on a plane or 8hours on a bus or 5hours on an express boat. So just choose which mode u would like to use. Besides that I only have a week to be spent when I go for the biz trips.

Need to work hard now coz that I do put my self in a rigid time line. At least by the end of this year (my birthday) I have something to be proved to my previous dreams, hopes and desire. What would it be? Well, am targeting to have something extra cool. Well, I do believe that we should “berangan-angan” coz we will be driven by it. But then just need to put the dreams in the same line with the efforts you want to bet. Currently I expose my self in the world of business writings and journals which expand my mind that academic makes u more ingenious and imaginative to improve and create your own comfort zone but it wont makes u rich compared those who are in the business line.And most of engineers go for business line. So I gamble my “young” fro this. Coz, for all men, by taking a risk when they are 30, it is so darn risky coz once they drop then hardly to get a stable line coz at that time you will have lot of commitments which is family, parents, financial, house , car and so forth. Let’s start when u have nothing coz may not lose so many thing to be lose when you are getting “shrink” . Psychologists say that, in the age of 30, a man has a predisposition to regret more on what he has not done when he was young and hardly to stand firm when he has chaos at that age. Well, just need to be dare to face the risk. For me, I don’t really care about what people think about me but the important thing is, just think about what i think about them. That all.

I target and dreams are, before I reach my 30s, I wish that at least I have my PhD and also be able to expand the consultancy thing.Oh ya, own a SLK 2000. Talking about doctoral studies, I will prolong it next year (July intake). Now am currently converting my field a little bit. So I guess for this coming research am might do “ecosystem sustainable planning” or “sustainable town indicator analysis” or back to my pervious bachelor field- the analysis of English sound. Too much topics to be considered. Now am trying to do which one is the most interesting to be done. Frankly speaking, am doing this doctoral studies is just for the pleasure and satisfaction and also the title “Dr” will be useful for business purpose especially in consultancy. But then I have to own up that I love teaching line. Well, for me, the PhD thing is one of the backup. Just in case the consultancy wont work as what has been planned or turn into another way around then I still have something to be sold to the contemporary labor market. Nah, that is just a planned. Men need to plan more than women coz they will be the head of a family. Anything when a family is not that having a cozy surrounding then the men will be pointed for such nuisance, So scary right when you are growing older and older into an adult. If u are a man, the by the age of 30, people will oviously peep on your achivements compared to "how many kids do you have" at that time.

Oh ya, during the my holiday at my parents’ place, I felt so cozy. And I forgot to take the pics during that time. My mum baked my favorite cake but then am so strict to my diet. So till now, I am still able to deal with my weight which is 64.5kg. The last time I post my blog, I was 67kg, mind you. Even at my hometown, I do actively jogging and swimming. Same things happen when I get back to KL just that I hit the gym and on and off will be on the tennis court. Well, doing cardio workout will help ur vein to be able to control the blood preasure and maintain the stress among those vein. So aint easy to have a good shape of body which need a serious attention. Previously, i bought one of french "body firming lotion" for men and it was Rm 380. Recomended by one of my biz partner and gosh, it gives minimum effect to my left and right side of my abs..so i stop to believe any cosmestic product which saling a fake tag-"your body shape is important to us". So fucked up right.So people, dont ever believe any kind of comsestic product which tells u that u can remove ur fat abs away. Never! Just hit the gym and that is the best solution. In fact u an help ur heart, ur hormon and tisue to be more and more healty. Doing cardio, for instance will stimulate ur bone to produce more and more new stem cells which helps u to release any pain in ur mucles by replacing any damage tissues.


The baby packs.

Nothing much I have to say here. Will update later. Till then, have a nice day ahead.
