Bye-bye, Diploma :)

PROUDLY ENDED MY DIPLOMA!! (2 weeks ago) Oh how I miss my little blog here. Oh my oh my taktahu nak tulis apa. Muahahahaha diploma habis. Muahahahaha!! Since I'm too suck for creative writing, should I go for interpersonal communication or human resource? or creative advertising? Hmm.. If only I can do photography. -.-"

My dearest kawan-kawan bujang, DMC6F :')

3 years doing my Diploma in Media and Communication Studies was superduperextremely diplomagasm! (Ok I just made that up) 3 years.. 2.5 years to be exact, in Lendu has taught me alot! Met tons of beautiful and handsome people, and some douches but saya sayang semua! :3 All the ups and downs, black and white, ying and yang, thick and thin, uni chums and lovestories will always be remembered. Good times, brahh. Good times :)

Dan warung D'bukit menjadi saksi perpisahan kami :') #emosi

Viva la vida was, okay. Even though kena sembur sikit sebanyak but hello, Sir Latiff kot? Handsomeee. Hihihihihihihihihihihi. :3 Heh heh but overall, our final presentation went well. OrphanCARE seemed satisfied with our job (HOPEFULLY!), report paling tebal dalam kelas, Sir Kimi and Sir Latif were happy with it, booth cantik :p , groupmates best, whats not to love? Oh btw this is the second shot, because the first one Sir Kimi simpan dalam poket dia, hewhewhewhew. :3 So far, I got all A's for all his subjects for 3 semesters so.... I love Sir Kimi. Weeeeee!! His sarcasm and evil laugh might get your nerves for some times but seemed like we all has got used to it so yeah, we love you Sir Kimi!! And Sir Latif, the sexiest lecturer alive. Can't say much later Zaza , Zaty datang bakar rumah. Zzzz

Oh not to forget, as what I promised you before, Zaheera Harun. Oh yes, that bitch is one hell of a bitch :p This young lady I knew since part one, started with the menyampah moment and suddenly became friends yang entah macamana jadi, and we started to go to class together, "jom?" "jom." each other, work together, makan together, ponteng together, cried together (kadang-kadang dgn fatin yusof :p),  stay up together, cuci mata.. zaza sorang, laugh together, shop together, dress to impress (AGM part1) together, kena kutuk together, gemuk together plus, sleepovers bagai.  Beautiful lady with beautiful attitude, cuma kadang kadang dia macam minta kaki pun ada, but it's been a pleasure to work with you for the past 6 semesters. Crime partner tak kira masa, thanks for everything my dear classmate, groupmate, housemate, and roommate :) 

Done with my IELTS as well, but but but but.. Ok, no comment. Got my new IC!! Pun no comment. Since I'm currently having some sort of "the time of my life" now, I totally forgot how to blog. Ngaaahahahaha~ Too lazy to self-shot, editing and stuffs. My goodness, what happened to me!! Ke mana sifat perasan anda, Illy?!! 

Since everything seems to falling back to places, syukur alhamdullillah ke hadrat Ilahi. Thank you Allah (SWT) for all the blessings. 

P/S : My friend needs some money for her dad's heart treatment. He deals w/ gout for years and just got hypertension,diabetes and heart problem recently. Need 25k for treatments. DM/PM me to do your part. #RT

The Antikythera Mechanism

antikythera-mechanism.gr—More than a hundred years ago an extraordinary mechanism was found by sponge divers at the bottom of the sea near the island of Antikythera. It astonished the whole international community of experts on the ancient world.

For decades, scientific investigation failed to yield much light, however research over the last half century has begun to reveal its secrets.

The machine dates from around the end of the 2nd century B.C. and is the most sophisticated mechanism known from the ancient world. Nothing as complex is known for the next thousand years. The Antikythera Mechanism is now understood to be dedicated to astronomical phenomena and operates as a complex mechanical “computer” which tracks the cycles of the Solar System.

Hublot | 5 Million Dollar Watch

Randolph Jonsson, gizmag.com—Hublot says that the unique diamond-crusted Big Bang watch is the most “precious” timepiece it’s ever created in its 32-year history.

So just what goes into a US$5 million watch? For starters, the 1.73-inch (44-mm) diameter 18K white gold case is packed with 302 baguette diamonds. The 18K white gold dial holds another 179 baguettes. The 18K bracelet that holds it on the lucky owner’s wrist is set with a staggering 782 more baguette diamonds, plus an additional six emerald-cut diamonds, all greater than 3 carats each. Throw in the 18K white gold crown’s 1.06 carat rose-cut diamond, plus its 12 additional baguettes and you have a market-cornering 1,282 diamonds in total, more than 100 carats in baguettes alone, and all of grade A VVS clarity.

After a year spent searching for the largest stones, Hublot, in collaboration with Geneva’s Atelier Bunter, spent 14 months total on the Big Bang's construction. This included the efforts of 12 cutters and five setters who worked on it full-time for seven months!

Alas, if you had any designs on acquiring this marvel for yourself, you're too late. The Hour Glass, a luxury watch dealer in Singapore, took that honor and plans to display it in its Asian stores. If you want a look at Hublot's finest, evidently you'll just have to follow the money.

Jarno Smeets Flies Like a Bird

humanbirdwings.net—Jarno Smeets, a mechanical engineer from the Netherlands, wants to fly.

“When I was younger, my granddad was actually working on some sketches for a flying bicycle. A helicopter, human powered by a bike mechanism. As a child I was always very intrigued by these drawings, back then I really believed that my granddad would once be able to fly on this bike. Only later I realized that this would be a very difficult thing to accomplish. The images of his flying bike have always been floating around in the back of my mind. So, for that great dream my grandpa gave me, he is still my biggest inspiration for starting this ‘Human Birdwings’ project.”

Jarno’s Grandad’s sketch

“When I was studying in England, my knowledge about mechanical and electronical engineering started to expand. I soon discovered that flapping wings without external powersupport would be impossible. During the more boring lectures I started sketching and writing down ideas about how wings could be powerassisted by actuators during their flapping movement. Back then there were no easy accessible components to, for example, collect arm movement data. The last few years a lot of exciting consumer devices, like Wii controllers and Smartphones, have been developped which changed my original ideas drastically.”

Making the wings in the workshop.

Jarno tests the flapping of the wings with the electronic mechanism with the Wii controllers. It works! He can fully control the wings with his arms.

An HTC phone and a Wii remote are programmed to work together in order to let them flap the wings at the precise movement.

Jarno talks with Bert Otten professor in Neuromechanics at the Univeristy of Groningen about the ability to fly like birds.

Sipho Mabona | The Plague

Mabona Orgami—In his latest installation The Plague, Sipho Mabona materializes the hypnotic ambivalence of money: the quotidian dollar-bill which accomplishes our daily business begins folding in on itself, gains awesome complexity and takes flight as a foreboding swarm of monetary locusts.

Money has gone from being an elementary medium of exchange to being a means of exploitation: a colossal cloud of hot money [and incomprehensible financial instruments] buzzes above the global economy like a biblical swarm of locust. Thus money as bane. Yet money per se, plain as the one-dollar-bill, always retains its basic ability to function as a pragmatic unit of accounting for goods & services. Hence money as blessing.

Each single specimen was folded from an uncut square of (US) currency sheet and took Mabona 4 to 5 hours to complete.

At 14, African William Kamkwamba Built His Own Windmill

When fourteen-year-old William Kamkwamba’s Malawi village was hit by a drought, everyone's crops began to fail. Without enough money for food, let alone school, William spent his days in the library and figured out how to bring electricity to his village.

Persevering against the odds, William built a functioning windmill out of junkyard scraps, and thus became the local hero who harnessed the wind.

If you read The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Young Readers Edition online on We Give Books, the Wimbe community lending library, where Kamkwamba’s journey began, gets a new book, up to 10,000. Despite serving some 1,500 pupils, the library currently has no picture books.
