On knowledge sharing and dissemination

... when circulating a working paper for comments, never put on "citations only permitted with the permission of author"

or "no parts of this paper can be used without permission of author". Rather, say "when using parts of this paper please give proper citation and help yourself". Be delighted if someone wants to quote you ... (p.7)

Senang cerita ...


kasutku saiz 4 ... or 5 ikut cutting ...

kasutnya saiz 11 ...

tu je sebabnya ... Oghang Besar Dighumah ...

~

rambutku mungkin ada yang putih (mungkin ye ... mungkin ... 2-3 helai :) ... tetapi cara macam anak tadika juga lah hehe ...

bila minta tolong beli kuih kat jiran jual kuih di baghuh jalan tu ...

senang je ... descriptive

kue bulat ... (kuih keria)

kue bendera Malaysia ... (kuih apetu ... kuih bendera Malaysia lah)

kue sesame ... (Kuih bom? jangan sebut nama kuih ni kat negara negara yang sensitif dengan kita ni ... kuih ini ada inti kelapa dan salut bijan ... emmm very sedap ... masalahnya Oghang Besar kalau makan kue ni he makan kulitnya je because he likes the sesame ... tinggal gondol inti nye je ... then he said you habis kan ye... hahaha ...)
~

sebabnya ... sebut nama kuih pun Oghang Besar tak faham so senang cerita ... describe shape, feature and texture ... :)

do you remember ...
whenever you and adik adik saw a plane in the sky in front of the house ...
emak kata ... you'd lompat lompat ...

Suka bila ...


tengok yang muda muda kerja ...

tolong isi minyak di petrol station ...

tolong cuci pinggan di warung tepi jalan ...

tolong bersih, lap meja, layan customer di warung tu ...

ini yang tak kesah ... tak ada air cond pun boleh je cari duit poket ...

tak minta minta kat orang tua ...

~

selalunya ... bila isi minyak ... kat petronas lah ye ... kalau ada adik adik yang tolong isi minyak ... ucap terimakasih sambil hulurkan token of appreciation ...
to me it is more than a token ... i hope that they are encouraged ... 
that working is good for us ...

selalunya adik adik ni tak pernah menolak ...

but yesterday this particular adik said ...

tak apa cik ... tak apa ... saya dibayar gaji ... katanya sambil senyum ...

how nice ... mudahan in your adult working life you will remain this same nice girl ...

Yang berliku itu ... adventure


ye proses yang berliku ...

turun naik ... pergi balik ...

wah ... kalau tak kuat iman ...

itulah jadi nya ... ramai orang short cut ...
how to combat rasuah ... if the process appears to promote it ...

nak pergi dah ni ... yang ke berapa kalinya

adventure in the immigration office ...

each individual experience is unique so cannot be generalised ... :)

nanti bila sempat sambung cerita ...
 Image Source: Here
(for illustration only ini hak negara oghang lain)

~
sambung ...

AlhamduLillah ... apa pun yang berliku ... kita tempuhlah ... dengan jujur ...

insyaAllah ... hati lapang bila selesai ...

itulah baiknya kita Bangsa Melayu ni ... siap dilagukan ...

"Anak dagang di rantau orang ... biar pandai membawa diri ... baik budi bahasa ..."

juga kata orang tua ... api tu jangan dilawan dengan api juga (except in forest fire when there is a need to fight fire with fire) ...

boleh saja menceritakan kemarahan orang yang tidak bertempat ... but again what's the point ... hot yang tak habis ...
...
...
so bila sampai kat officer tu dia tengah hot ... ntah apalah yang silap cakap pelanggan sebelum Allahua'lam ... hampir saja diri ini merekodkan kemarahan terlampau pegawai tersebut ... fikir pula tak beretika tu namanya ...

... duduk je lah empunya diri diam-diam sambil senyum manis ... duduk depannya menunggu habis dealingnya dengan pelanggan lain (oghang besar di rumah i have asked him, you please pergi jauh-jauh*) ... and softly i said ... sabaaaar ...

... wah naik volume pegawai tu balik ... puas dah sabar ni katanya ...

oh no bukan itu maksud akak ... akak maksudkan kaaaami ni yang perlu saaabar ... (sambil tersenyum ... tak taulah senyuman ku ni manis ke tidak ... Oghang Besar Dighumah tu memang menyampahlah kalau kita senyum senyum dengan bukan mahram tu ... dah yang you pun tak ndak senyum hehe ...) ... sambil pandang kat pelanggan sebelah ... sambil senyum juga ... senyum ikhlas ikhlas okay :)

kuranglah leter nya sikit (ni lelaki ni) ...

... then dah agak agak that he can by now accept my presence in front of him ... and that really i am just a very nice old lady ... i said ... adik ni elok ke Lahad Datu ni (ishhh saja aku ni pun satu hal ... tengok orang reda ... dicolek colek pula) ...

you don't say he retorted ... saya baru balik dari sana ... katanya pantas ...

oh okay no wonder ... i said ... ayat saja tak habiskan ...

... baik diam ...

maka kita pun tunggu ... tunggu ... tunggu ... tunggggggggggggggu ... orang lain lepas satu satu ... tak marah pun (me lah ... Oghang Besar Dighumah tu tok sah nak cakaplah) ... kami terlewat ... orang pun rushing nak Solat Jumaat ...

finally ... alhamduLillah he turned to me ... and said ... ha akak apa pula ...

(Baca Bismillah hanya telinga sendiri yang dengar) i passed on the required documents ... i called Oghang Besar Dighumah to sit next to me ... then as quiet as tikus kami tunggulah apa-apa pun yang dibuatnya kat komputer tu ...

then he printed something ... took it and passed it on to me  and said ... datang ambil pukul 2.45 (today Jumaat) ...

AlhamduLillah ... terima kasih banyak
 ... tak tanya dah siapa kena datang ambil although i ve to send Oghang Besar DiGhumah back to work (because someone before me asked that and he snapped at her ... siapa datang hantar ni ... oiiiii pedas betul berurusan dengan orang lelaki yang satu ni ...)

oh dear ... bunyi macam lawak je kan ... but reality was tak lawak langsung ... this is a very edittttted version :)

... but still Alhamdulillah selesai ...

~

*this bit because he was so panas he said tak suka tengok foreigners ni berdiri ramai ramai di depan (waiting for opportunity to be served) ... kenapa tak pakai no geleran ye ... this i could not fathom

~

Next JPN ...

Moment of Truth (My First impression) was MasyaAllah ... May Allah SWT give them kurnia yang baik baik ... ameen.

sambung lain hari InsyaAllah

Anddd ... nak tanya sikit ...


teringat lagi budak ulu tu hehe...

di negeri sembilan ni kan ...

semua kampung yang namanya dulu ada ulu ... sudahpun dialihnama ke seri ...

macam ulu pilah jadi seri pilah ...

ulu pelangai jadi seri pelangai ...

ulu jemapoh jadi seri jemapoh ...

nak bagi kampung ulu naik seri lah ...

cam tu lah kekdahnya ...

tapi kan ... kenapa

Ulu Bendul tu tak di Seri kan ye ... ke Seri Bendul ...

... soalan mengong budak ulu ... orang lain sibuk berfikir nak mengundi dan nak menang undi ... hehe

Image Source: Here

kejap tadi serious sedih kan ... i don't like being sad for too long ... so camni lah jadinya ... hehe

and seriously ...

sentiasa berdoa semoga negara yang disayangi ini sentiasa dalam aman dan dirahmati Allah SWT ... ameen

:)

~

Internet macam kelip-kelip ... masuk rumah kengkawan ... nak bagi salam pun tak cukup power ...

next time insyaAllah ...

Image Source: Here

dulu di kampung banyak kelip-kelip di malam hari ...

sekarang ni ... tak ada dah ... mata-mata saja yang berkelip-kelip depan TV ...

:)



Akak berdosa ... katanya ...


rasa hati gundah gulana ...

semalam dalam sibuk sikit jumpa rakan mengundi ... dia membantu rakannya calun DUN berkempen ...

sebenarnya ada urusan lain ... but dek ada rasa yang tak terungkai dalam hati ni terkeluarlah pertanyaan ini ...

akak tak mengundi kat sini nanti ... mengundi kat kampung  ... cuma akak nak tanya pendapat dari hati ... bagaimana tentang sifulan ... akak sangat waswas ... hati akak tak yakin tentang dia ... habis macam mana ...

jawabnya ... akak kena yakin ... kalau mengikut fiqh salah tu ... kita tak boleh menerima berita cara begitu ... fiqh kata bagaimana cara dan syaratnya baru kita boleh terima sesuatu berita seperti itu ... jadi kita tak boleh waswas kalau bukti tidak menurut hukum fiqh ... katanya ...

kalau akak waswas ... akak berdosa tu ... sambungnya lagi ...

ohhhhhhhh ... nak mengundi pun boleh jadi berdosa ni kalau kita pangkah yang lain sebab waswas dengan yang sorang lagi tu ...

adoi macam ni ... tak nak gi ngundilah ...
 
:(

update sikit ...

baru lepas lawat blog blog kempen ... yang rational rational sikit ... tiada cacian ... and both the sides can speak out dalam rumah yang sama ... masih beradab ... hmmmm ...

 undilah dengan bijaksana ye ... our nation ... our ups and our downs ... think about the poor, the poor and the pooor ... okay :)

Ulu betul budak kampung ni ...

Image Source: Here

tak budak pun ... dah graduate ... baru mula kerja

... pada suatu hari budak tu berjalan-jalan dengan rakan kerjanya di Kuala Lumpur ...

malam tu bermalamlah di rumah rakan kerja ... 

esok boleh saja pergi kerja bersama ...

pagi-pagi bangun mandi siap itu ini ...

masuk ke dapur ...

tengok tengok adik-adik rakan kerja ... sibuklah bersarapan nak pergi sekolah ... buat minuman sendiri ...

makan roti ... itu ini ... buat sendiri sendiri ...

rakan kerja pun sama jemput kita sarapan ...

budak kampung ni pun dalam tercengang cengang ... dan penuh kehairanan bertanya ...

emak mana? sebab emak mereka ada malam sebelum tidur jumpa ...

rakan kerja jawab ... oh mak tidur ... lepas subuh dia tidur semula ...

adik adik sarapan sendiri sendirilah ye ... budak kampung tu tanya ...

ha ah kami dah biasa dari dulu ... pandai buat sendiri ...

and budak kampung tersebut sangatlah berasa takjub ...

because seumur hidupnya till that precious moment she thought that ...

ALL MOTHERS ALL OVER THE WORLD
MAKE BREAKFAST FOR THEIR CHILDREN ...
JUST LIKE HER OWN MOTHER ...

how ulu ... and naive ... hehe ... 

kawan-kawan kalau nak gelakkan budak kampung tu gelak lah ... budak kampung ulu tu okay je ...

I lost it in first year ...



today Google is celebrating something ... and as usual insyaAllah ... curiosity does not kill this cat ...

it's about this guy ...





of course i remember him ... and many similar others ... in mathematics

equations ... equations ... equations ... functions ... transform (bukan PM Najib's transformation ye) ...


e^x = \sum_{n=0}^\infty {x^n \over n!} = \lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{1}{0!} + \frac{x}{1!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \cdots + \frac{x^n}{n!}\right).(please see actual formula in link above)

 
anddddd ...  I lost it! 

I lost to Calculus in Year 1 of Bachelor years ...

i just scraped through ... and got through AlhamduLillah ...

~

let's see what about mathematics that are so out of this world ... for some ... but part of the daily menu for others ...

~
when i read through wikipedia's history of Euler (sounds like oiler) ... i realized this interest and expertise was nurtured ... it was part of his Daily Menu so to speak ...

he was brilliant no doubt ... great memory ... but he was also surrounded and guided and his brain stimulated by masters in that and related fields ...

since young the brain was challenged at all times ... to think!

(unlike my tendency to avoid thinking ... that's why I lost it ... hehe)
~

a bit about him ... and what he did ...


Euler is the only mathematician to have two numbers named after him: the immensely important Euler's Number in calculus, e, approximately equal to 2.71828, and the Euler-Mascheroni Constant γ (gamma) sometimes referred to as just "Euler's constant", approximately equal to 0.57721. It is not known whether γ is rational or irrational.

hmmm ... i think i would be remembered by my Irrational Number ... the infinite no of times that i have gone irrational ... hehe

~

and the most beautiful formula ...

A special case of the above formula is known as Euler's identity,
e^{i \pi} +1 = 0 \, (please see this beauty in link above)
called "the most remarkable formula in mathematics" by Richard P. Feynman, for its single uses of the notions of addition, multiplication, exponentiation, and equality, and the single uses of the important constants 0, 1, e, i and Ï€.[26] In 1988, readers of the Mathematical Intelligencer voted it "the Most Beautiful Mathematical Formula Ever".[27] 

weiii ... formula pun lawa wei ... kenapa cikgu tak cakap macam ni dulu ... siapa tak suka benda yang lawa ye ... ish

 ~

Eyesight deterioration

Euler's eyesight worsened throughout his mathematical career. Three years after suffering a near-fatal fever in 1735 he became nearly blind in his right eye, but Euler rather blamed his condition on the painstaking work on cartography he performed for the St. Petersburg Academy. Euler's sight in that eye worsened throughout his stay in Germany, so much so that Frederick referred to him as "Cyclops". Euler later suffered a cataract in his good left eye, rendering him almost totally blind a few weeks after its discovery in 1766. Even so, his condition appeared to have little effect on his productivity, as he compensated for it with his mental calculation skills and photographic memory. For example, Euler could repeat the Aeneid of Virgil from beginning to end without hesitation, and for every page in the edition he could indicate which line was the first and which the last. With the aid of his scribes, Euler's productivity on many areas of study actually increased. He produced on average one mathematical paper every week in the year 1775.[3]

...
 ... now in this respect i was reminded of a Qur'an Hafiz who defended his PhD thesis ...

when answering queries from the examiners he would direct them to the actual page no in which the matter was discussed ... he has memorised more less his thesis hehe ...

~

i believe Quran memorising helps thinking and cognitive development a great deal ... this is why i appreciate in what's being done in Brunei Darussalam Yayasan Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah ... developing Hafiz and Hafizah and mastering the arts and the science ... AlhamduLillah ...

i am sorry i am not familiar with the Malaysian situation ... my familiarity with the Brunei situation is through my dearest sister, Hajjah R's children's experience

~

end of today's learning from history and real experience ... :)

thank you

if you are sometimes "irrational" like me ... hehe ... you can see more here ...

i love that animation about the constant Pi ... do it outside with gelung rotan or balls of different sizes (anything round for that matter ... pinggan pun boleh ... update baru lepas makan kejap ni ...:) with the children ... measure, calculate and prove ... sure they'll love it ...

What i do remember ...


why we went to school ... i am talking about primary school in this case ...

anything special in school ... or was it because it was something we have to do ...

because our parents said get up, pergi mandi, siap, minum pergi sekolah ...

semua orang pergi sekolah ... kita pun pergilah sekolah ... apa hal pula kawan-kawan semua pergi sekolah kita duduk rumah ... kalau ponteng ada rasa malu tak agaknya ...
i don't remember this feeling of malu etc... because i don't remember pontenging ... new word alright.

but i remember ...

being either first, second or third in class ... berebut-rebutlah position yang tiga among the three of us ... a girl, my kawan baik KakCik ... a boy, anak Ustaz, Mohd Rose namanya (at that time i thought what a beautiful name he had, i am not sure ada e atau tidak dalam rosenya tu) and myself ... and another good friend Zaimon ... next to the three of us, no 4 ... ini yang ingat ... beyond the four of us i no longer remember exactly who were in the class ...

there was competition among us ... strong but friendly competition and collaboration ... bukan macam BN and PR sekarang ... ish tak mau cakaplah yang ini ...

in particular fierce competition and collaboration between me and kakcik (this is my friend kakcik not my sister kakcik ye ... ramai important kakciks in my life :)

kakcik ada makciknya yang juga cikgu di sekolah tu ... so i always felt that she had an advantage ... my mother tak pernah pergi sekolah pun ... so that feeling that i must beat her to the top position was a never ending quest for every penggal, every year ... dapat hadiah juga tiap-tiap tahun but ishhh tak sama, tak best tak no 1 ...

so i worked very very very hard and alhamduLillah final Penggal, Darjah 6, i finally achieved that First in Class ... what a sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet feeling ...
because it was the culminating term and year and i didn't have to fight on to retain that position!

~

kenapa tetiba teringat sekolah rendah pula ni? ...

baru lepas interview one participant about his schooling experience ... what moved him on ...

~

would be nice to hear others' experiences too in Primary School ... not for research ... just to share if you please ...

Thank you ... :) ... and thank you kakcik for being so pandai that i have no way to go but forward ... :)

Some of the things she said ...


Margaret Thatcher died Tuesday ... but some of the things she said make sense ...

~

On Power
“Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.” 

On Convictions
"I am not a consensus politician. I'm a conviction politician."

“Consensus: “The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner: ‘I stand for consensus?”

"If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time and you would achieve nothing."

On Society
"There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families.''

“It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.”

“Do you know that one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.”

On Character
“Watch your thoughts for they become words.
Watch your words for they become actions.
Watch your actions for they become habits.
Watch your habits for they become your character.
And watch your character for it becomes your destiny.
What we think, we become.
My father always said that... and I think I am fine.” 

On Work Ethic
“Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it.”

“I do not know anyone who has gotten to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but it will get you pretty near.”

Bertih jagung ...


someone is transcribing some interviews for me ... and this is what she has to say about one recording

i have to do this one very slowly ... listening to it over and over again because i do not want to miss anything ... she is  is like bertih jagung ...

hehe ... that's cute ... yes she's a very fast talker ...

~

this one in slow motion ...

somehow this slow motion exploding corn reminds me of nadia comaneci's perfect ten


and the funny thing was, they gave her a one ... because that perfect ten could not be displayed ...

the amazing thing is just watch how cool she was ...
as if she expected no less ...
as if she knew that she deserved that perfect ten ...
no hugs no kisses ... yet she performed ...

~

that was the time when some of us may just be twinkles in our fathers' eyes :)

back to popcorn ... and here's how to make one super sweet popcorn ...

No preconception ...


No preconception, Glaser says ... more here



Most important - the FIELD NOTES

so don't forget the field notes ...

do it immediately after the interviews ...

so that we can see what emerges immediately after the conversations ...

that is extremely important ...


Image Source: Here (Click on the picture for a detailed look of this gorgeous natural harmony of life)

... but sometimes what i heard was quite out of the world ... and thence i hesitated ... to write the field notes ... that is ...

now let's fly on a pair of hot wings ...

Minah gadis dusun ...


sweet life ...

Inginkah kawan tahu siapa daku
Minah gadis dari dusun di gunung
Jauh daku berjalan menuruninya
Hanya ingin menjenguk indahnya kota
~
Amboi indah dan megah kotamu kawan
Rasa daku mimpi di dalam surga
Jejaka dan gadisnya tampan dan cantik
Gedung, tugu dan mobil oh amboi amboi
~
Tapi maaf kawan
Daku tak tinggal lama
Kekasih hatiku
Rindu menanti :))
~
Tunggu saja kiriman hasil panenku
Daku orang dusun pandai bertani
Hanya pesanku kawan jaga negerimu !!!
Sampai berjumpa lagi salam manisku
Salam manisku ... Salam manisku ... Salam manisku :)
