Sebagai seorang yang berbangsa melayu aku sebenarnya turut berbangsa dengan bangsaku. Dilahirkan didalam suasana orang melayu mengamalkan cara hidup seperti orang melayu. Orang melayu memang terkenal dengan adat resam dan budi bicara yang amat baik dan terpuji. Datang seorang sahabatku dari golongan bangsa Arab dan mengatakan orang melayu sangat baik, sangat baik sehingga ditindas oleh orang berbangsa lain. Orang melayu memang mempunyai pertimbangan yang agak lembut jika dibandingkan dengan bangsa-bangsa lain yang agak agresif.
Kini bangsa melayu telah menjadi satu bangsa yang agak dikenali, satu bangsa yang telah bangkit dari pegangan dan budi pekerti yang tinggi. Orang melayu sudah melebarkan sayap ke negara asing. Orang melayu mampu bersaing dalam apa bidang sekalipun. Doktor yang hebat-hebat melakukan pembedahan kritikal, usahawan yang berjaya dan juga bidang hiburan.
Daripada golongan melayu yang besar aku kecilkan pemerhatian ku kepada golongan melayu yang lebih kecil stratanya. Selama beberapa tahun aku memerhatikan bangsa melayu. Membuat mini tesis kepada bangsa ku.
"Orang Melayu pun jahat juga" terdetik perkataan jahat ketika aku melarikan putung jariku untuk menaip hasil dari pemerhatianku. Adalah penting untuk aku mengingatkan saudaraku semua bahawa tulisan ini adalah mengambarkan sesuatu yang tidak disukai daripada pandangan peribadi sahaja. mungkin juga strata yang kecil tidak memberi gambaran yang penuh kepada pemerhatian ini. Mungkin juga pemerhatian ini tidak tepat dan melibatkan kekangan yang tidak dapat saya atasi.
Di sebalik kemurnian orang melayu terdapat juga beberapa fiil yang tidak sepatutnya menjadi kulit orang melayu. Hasil perbualan ku dengan seorang rakan, "orang melayu suka mengata orang dan membuat fitnah" rakan ku mengulas. Sebenarnya memang aku bersetuju dengan pendapat rakan ku ini, fikiran negatif selalu berada didalam benak melayu, orang melayu seolah-olah ahli farmasi yang memberikan preskrepsi kepada bangsa lain. Sebagai contoh, aku pernah melihat bangsa ku mengatakan bahawa bangsa ini adalah bangsa yang pemalas, degil dan hidung tinggi dan berbagai-bagai lagi label yang kita dengar. Orang melayu suka berprasangka dan tidak menghormati orang lain. Kita sudah mula menjajah dan menceroboh negara lain tanpa menghormati adat resam bangsa lain. Kita amat berbangga dengan pencapaian kita yang sudah terkenal. Datang kawan berbangsa Arab dan bertanya kepadaku apakah keluargaku di Malaysia berada dalam keadaan sihat, adakah anak-anak kecilku berada dalam keadaan baik semasa misafirku dan adakah Malaysia berada didalam keadaan baik. Pertanyaan yang begini membuatkan aku berfikir, apakah mereka begitu mengambil berat dengan kedatangan ku sebagai tetamu di negara mereka. Mereka sebenarnya memang begitu, mengambil berat tentang tetamu-tetamu mereka. Aku pernah mendengar perihal satu bangsa Arab yang mementingkan tetamu daripada golongan bangsa mereka sendiri. Tidak pernah aku terfikir untuk bertanya khabar tentang keluarga mereka selain daripada bertanyakan hal-hal yang berkaitan kerja. Tidak pernah aku menghormati mereka sebagai seorang kawan melainkan seorang pekerja bawahan. Tidak pernah aku berjenaka sebagai teman melainkan arahan kerja. Tidak terlintas bahawa mereka adalah saudara sedunia dan ada juga saudara seugamaku. Jika dulu aku berprasangka dengan mereka sekarang aku mula menjadi kawan.
Tidaklah menjadi satu beban yang berat kepada aku untuk menjadi kawan kepada bangsa lain. Apakah tiada ruang untuk kita belajar adat resam kawan-kawan aku yang baru. Apakah mejadi satu kesalahan untuk aku berbaik-baik dengan bangsa yang lain.
Aku merasakan bahawa bangsa kita amat mulia? Aku merasakan bangsaku adalah bangsa yang terpilih? aku pernah merasakan tidak penting untuk bertanyakan hal-hal keluarga selain kerja. Kadang-kadang aku rasa aku macam yahudi yang hanya memuliakan bangsanya. Tidak pernah aku terfikir bahawa mereka adalah saudara sedunia ku.

Geotagging
" Geotagging is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as photographs, video, websites, or RSS feeds and is a form of geospatial metadata. This data usually consists of latitude and longitude coordinates, though it can also include altitude, bearing, accuracy data, and place names.
Geotagging can help users find a wide variety of location-specific information. For instance, one can find images taken near a given location by entering latitude and longitude coordinates into a Geotagging-enabled image search engine. Geotagging-enabled information services can also potentially be used to find location-based news, websites, or other resources.[1]
Less commonly this process has been called geocoding, although the latter term usually refers to the process of taking non-coordinate based geographical identifiers, such as a street address, and finding associated geographic coordinates (or vice versa for reverse geocoding)." Source from Wiki
I bought a camera which equipped with a built in GPS receiver to participate in geotagging. The camera P6000 from Nikon is a pro-sumer model, cost me RM 1550.00. Why is it important for me to have a geotagging, probably because I wanted to the first to have the geo tag my photo at Tharjath. To tell others that I was in Tharjath. I am taking photo here. The exif data stored together with the photo is not a fake, even though we still have software to write the coordinate. I hope the the guy at the office also aware that we are staying at ultra remote area and make a proper consideration to pay us like what E1.

I was in Guang Dong before I left to Sudan...
It was the opening of school session 2009 here in Malaysia. It was a great opportunity for me to send my second boy to a kindergarten, to Chinese kindergarten. It was a year ago when I decide to send him to a Chinese school, started with and early exposure to a Chinese school started with a Tadika Suria Bakti located at Jln Merbau Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
Why go for Chinese Education?. Good question.
- As part of the integration between racial in Kota Bharu, the second largest community is Malaysia was Chinese (23.7%). Kelantan is unique to have a good relation in between multi racial. Its is normal to have witness Malay and Chinese to be a good friend, even speaking with a local Kelantan dialect. For 58 years we have reached our independence and Chinese community is growing, some of them are very good is speaking Bahasa even score a better grade in Bahasa language. There were not many Malays whose speaking and writing in Mandarin.
- More languages for my boys. It is normal for a kid to capture other languages through school mix. I hope that he will capture Mandarin, Hokkien and Cantonese later when he grow up.
- The future is in the Allah . May be he will learn something from Chinese.
- Chinese are known to have a good business skill that i wanted my kid to learn from them.
I felt like being in Guang Dong before I left to Sudan, to have surrounded by Chinese and don't understand a word from the them.

Sejarah pengkomputeran...
Saya pernah menggunakan system seperti ini pada masa dahulu, masih lagi terbayang disket liut DOS dari IBM. Komputer kepunyaan abang saya rupanya telah menimbulkan bibit-bibit minat kepada bidang computer. Pernah juga saya meneruskan pengajian dalam bidaang komputer sedikit masa dulu tetapi tidak mendapat sebarang sijil dan kelayakkan kerana saya merasakan bidang computer tidak dinamik kerana kekangan dari peralatan dan perisian.
Pada masa sekarang bidang computer menjadi semakin pesat dengan pembangunan yang tak pernah kita fikirkan. Semakin hari semakin manusia bergantung kepada computer dan Internet untuk menguruskan kehidupan. Kehidupaan juga boleh menjadi tidak terurus jika komputer disalahgunakan.
Penghasilan peranti kecil berkomputer juga merupakan rentetan dari pembangunan bidang komputer yang semakin canggih. Boleh dikatakan setiap hari gajet baru akan keluar dipasaran. Gajet dicipta untuk membantu pengguna dan saling berhubungan dengan komputer.
Ramai di antara kita yang menggunakan PDA dan peranti kecil untuk menambahkan kecekapan penggunaan masa dan tenaga.
pengajaran ayat...beli laa PDA....
