When I grow up, I want to be…

an ARCHITECT!
that was my ambition since grade school until I changed my mind during form 5
and from there, either COMPUTER ENGINEERING or COMPUTER SCIENCE was what I had in mind since I got myself into graphic design and web design right after PMR
why I picked computer engineering? for a simple reason; because it’s harder than computer science haha plus I love physics and all those electronic stuffs!

in my 2nd yr undergrad, I realised that electronics are just not my thing
but then, I realised I like programming and totally in love with networking at the top level :P – aerial? signals? gimme a break! of course I know bits here and there but it’s not my thing; totally the same as electronics
I can do it but I can’t say I really enjoy it

so what’s my point?
my point is, no matter how much I dislike (or hate) something, I’ll do fine it in – take note, it’s doing fine not doing well
of course this includes you as well; if you like something, you’ll do a great job in it ;)
isn’t that right?

jumping to my main point here…
a lot of things happened and I sort of got a grip of the reality and what really are happening now
I’m trying not to go much into detail as it’s a personal matter
hopefully things will go back as how it used to soon, AMEN

looking at how things are, there are a lot of times how I wished I didn’t pursue engineering even though that is my interest since years ago
I should have just force myself to take medicine and go through with it
or at least, I should have taken medical engineering or the likes of it
at least, I’d know what’s going on and not just stand by the side and leave it to the pro to do their job
I’m not saying it’s an easy path; but engineering itself is not that easy either
with lots of wills and hard work, it should work out somehow

whew! I’m full with regrets even though I know that I shouldn’t
things happened for a reason but… *sigh*
It hurts to see them poking the needles around like no ones business on my beloved person :(

I could go on and on with my regrets and all the if only thoughts so I’ll stop here

anyway here’s a photo for today
the photo been up in my fb page for a few days or maybe weeks already

happy belated eid adha!
how was your eid yesterday?

I was in bed; sick :(
it wasn’t that bad tbh; only runny nose and sore throat – a bit feverish the day before
it was only around the evening that things went bad; I passed out twice in a row =.= and also I had a brief fit
that was scary as I never fainted all my life before

I first fainted on my way from the kitchen to the living room
good thing my mom asked my bro or dad to see if something was falling as there was a huge BANG sound – turned out that was me LOL
I then gain my consciousness back
…and then I was back on my feet trying to get to the living room which was just a few steps away but before I could get there, I passed out again and this time I had a fit

dad was saying how I really scared him, fainting out of nowhere!
sorry dad :(

it might be the medicine that I took – too much for me to handle?
or maybe because I didn’t eat much for the whole day

dad was worried about it; until this morning and kept on checking on me if I were to pass out again
I am much better now ;)
InsyaAllah I won’t pass out again

passing out twice in a row is totally no good
I have no idea how did I fall; I have no memory of it
it happened just like that
but what I know, I bruised my knees and I think I sprained my wrist; and it’s purplish there as well =.=
I might hit my chin too
hopefully I didn’t hit my head too hard =.=

it felt like I was on a marathon when I woke up lol – aching all over!
it’s such a relief that I wasn’t holding onto any glass or such when that happened (or bang my head at the cupboard corner or something)

phew! such experience! – which I reallllllly hope it won’t happen again

here are some photos that I took at Cambridge University Botanical Garden

hopefully everyone is in good condition
and stay healthy + safe! ;)

Lego <3

feel free to view more photos at Noradila Photography page ;)

I was playing with Lego a few days ago out of boredom
my Lego army been sitting in my room; waiting for me to give any command – lol that would be scary if they were to move when I demand them too haha
so I thought why not I mess about since I had nothing better to do (I actually do, but I didn’t feel like doing it hohoho)

how insane I am with these Lego thingy? – it’s just the minifigures that I’m crazy about
check my older posts! ;)
Series 5, Series 4, Series 1, 2, 3

I kept a box of the Lego bricks when I took out my lego stuffs last year? the year before? lol I can’t remember
I have 2 boxes of them which those are what I was playing with when I was about 7? 8? years old
good thing those Lego are being kept! :D
I’d be regretting if it were to be given or thrown away phew!
Lego ain’t cheap!

so I was sitting quietly, playing with my Lego; setting the theme, as I wanted for some Lego photoshoot lol
here is my setting :P

I was using my macro filter for the close up shot ;)
and the result?

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

why the sad face?
PMS! lol

my dad was asking who on earth would love Lego as much as I do? weird people do exist
I could only LOLed at that haha

I’m not sure myself why I’m into Lego
maybe because it makes a good subject to take photo of?

I was saying in my previous posts that I’d post up the flower photos that I took at Cambridge University Botanical Garden
previous posts; Cambridge University Botanic Garden
and Cambridge University Botanic Garden Part II
tbh, I’m not sure which photo to post first as there are way too much! (not really; but you don’t want to see all 27 photos at once, right? hehe)

if these are not to your liking, feel free to view the other photos at Noradila Photography page ;)

I really am missing taking photos of flowers!
days ago, I went around Alor Setar and was trying to find a place where there’d be a lot of flowers!
too bad I couldn’t find one; even couldn’t find a place when I googled about it
meh!
come on Alor Setar! Taman Bunga please!
of course there’s one at Gunung Jerai if I’m not mistaken
but driving up there? errr that is another story haha I don’t have the guts lol :lol:

oh well~
here goes some of the photos ;)
I do have lots of my sis photoshoot yet to be posted
and also Lego photoshoot
but all these are already in my fb page hehe

Geranium sinense

p/s: hrmmmmmm~ I feel like going to take some shots of the beach. Kuala Kedah anyone? I’ll see if the weather this afternoon is good, then I might go! ;) I went there last week I think but it started to rain like crazy the minute my bro and I went out of the car BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! such bad timing! lol

I’m GRADUATING again!

if you’re on my fb list, you’d know this news already – well, I supposed?
anyway, just to let you know, the final result was out on the 27th Oct 2011
and… things went well and…

I got a distinction!!!

w00t!! Alhamdulillah, all that hard work paid off ;)
so I’m graduating, obtaining Master of Science, MSc with Distinction
ehe~

my graduation is in December
if nothing goes wrong, I’d be going to my graduation ;)

if you’re wondering what’s next; well… I’m still thinking about it
I’ve already got a PhD offer that I’ve already deferred for 2 years; I was offered to do PhD right after my bachelor degree last year but since I wasn’t sure about it, I opted to do MSc which I’ve just completed ;)
I might want to try applying for other uni which I’m still considering – proposal! proposal! proposal!

…and I’m also considering of getting a job first; work for a few years and only then continue with my PhD
I’m not sure which option is to my liking :lol:

tbh, I did want to get a PhD before turning 25 years old haha – pretty young, isn’t it? :P
but since I didn’t do PhD last year, it’s impossible now :(
maybe PhD before 30? haha

either way, I’ll see how things go ;)

anyway! done mumbling :P
I promised NG that I’d post up my MSc Project – Energy Efficient VOIP that I did – I got a distinction in that, so hopefully it gives some hints to other people that are of the same field as me; in their undergrad or postgrad ;)
I’ll also explain a bit of my BEng Project – Enterprise Network Simulation where I managed to get a 1st Class Hons the year before
- I won’t talk about how the network works yadda yadda yadda but only on the ways of implementation ;)

pstttt I’m not trying to brag here; just to let you know that I did get pretty good marks in my projects so you can take my words for it; or even apply some stuffs that I did in here to your project (if it’s related)
do take note that I said in the video, for MSc, you need something EXTRA that you didn’t talk over with your supervisor. That gives you the extra marks and takes you a level above anyone else and the likeliness to get a better grade – try and impress your supervisor and examiner ;)

for my undergrad project, I managed to do all the if you could do… things that my supervisor said he would like to see if possible
he pointed out things that could be achieved but not ways of doing it – make sure you know how things work for the extra bits as well; I was asked to explain about it during my viva
whenever your supervisor said if you could do… take note of that
that is a hint! ;)
go crack your head open and make sure you can do what your supervisor wants to see – no matter what it takes; you’ll get good grade

here’s the video ;)

p/s: did you catch my grammar mistakes? ehe~ :P
and take note! it’s not the MAC address but MAC type – I accidentally said the wrong thing lol
