Therefore in life

My mind is full
but my might is not
courage we take
or courage we make
we thought of our future
but the future is leaving us
we tend to forget
but forget bad deeds we will not
therefore in life
utilise your time
eventhough your mind is full
AND YOU THINK
THAT YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH

Toxic people

I've attended a workshop on LEADERSHIP AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT FOR YOUNG LECTURERS. Am I still young??? Hahaha. However, the topics covered are pretty much the same for other workshops on developing leadership skill (not just for lecturers (as expected though). Anticipating my mind through the workshop I realised that certain things presented differs from any other stuff that I had gone through before. The speakers, (TNC A of UTM) were relating all the skills presented with real life experience as an academics and administrator. This is kind of a rare situation and pretty much a hands-on learning into the topics with more precise details. One of the main topics that he mentioned was the Toxic People. In any organizations, there would be couple of people with certain or specific characteristic. We are not talking about the looks and appearance although this is quite essential but the leadership qualities. Types of people are crucial in order for any organization to succeed in pretty much everything. While explaining a meeting scenario, he mentioned about the ‘Toxic People’. This brought me far away from my desk and starts to evaluate matter for my own perspective. Colleagues, friends and subordinate have been a subject matter of my quest for this toxic. Strictly, I’m not labelling anyone however just to put the puzzle into place.

How to recognize this toxic branch of life? Well, this defined by certain criteria such as:

SPRING FEST@ UTEM

05/03/2011

My friend from HEPA invited me to watch this show by the Chinese Cultural Club in UTeM. Thanks Bro Zem for the invitation. Frankly, they really know what they are doing. Eventhough its not that perfect but consider it for the angle that they are not a pro. However, they did a really good job. I can't imagine how this people (a usual student) could remember such long lines for this play. I should applause on the sound system that UTeM had because the sound quality is no where near average. It was outstanding despite the sound of breath form the actors mainly because of the micropohone positioned to near. I just wonder, when can I see the Malay play on the UTeM stage. Perhaps, not in near future.......

Feeling glad

I was wondering is it me or just the day? I should be hectic and slow today but neither that happens. Just a sudden thought of dreaming that rises to my mind. Maybe just the passion and courage that motivates me. Despite of being purely a natural human being, now I learn something which not really that new. Life must goes on doesn't matter what happen while driving through it. There are still a lot of things to do and yet to be done. Naturally, throw away the darkness and bring laughter to your life (if you may). I guess if I can do that then I'm no more natural as I could be.

2002-2004 Honda Civic Type-R

Posted on 11.29.2005 14:52 by Alex Damian
Filed under: Honda Honda Civic hatchback

The second generation Honda Civic Type-R is built at Honda’s Swindon factory in the United Kingdom, and exported to other countries, including Japan. It is the same factory that builds the Civic Si.

Features
The front-wheel-drive Type-R Civic only comes in three-door hatchback form, same as the Si, but the Type-R has stiffer body with front and rear bracing struts, and comes standard with a complete "ground effects" kit, rear spoiler, mesh grille, lower suspension and 17 inch wheels. The interior is fitted with Alcantara-trimmed sports seats, a metallic-trim center console and a rally-style six-speed manual shifter. Luxuries are kept at a minimum, with only power windows, remote power door locks and a CD player. No GPS navigation, no heated seats and no other such niceties are offered, not even as options.

The Type-R is powered by the new i-VTEC 4 cylinder engine, similar to the 200 hp Acura RSX Type-S engine, but different from the 160 hp Civic Si powerplant. The i-VTEC unit provides for smoother power delivery, unlike older VTEC engines which gave a sudden boost at a certain rpm. Like all Honda engines, the Type-R’s 197 hp engine provides most of its power in the higher rev range and is characteristically short on torque, with a peak torque figure of only 145 lb-ft, with barely anything available in the lower rev range. The six-speed close-ratio gearbox handles the power delivery. The car is built on a modified version of the current four-door Civic, meaning MacPherson strut suspension up front and double wishbones at the rear. The change from four-wheel double wishbones has noticeably hurt the handling dynamics of the Civic sedan, but it is less apparent in the highly-tuned Type-R. Large four-wheel disc brakes, vented at the front, offer decent braking performance, with ABS and EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) being standard features. The 17 inch alloy wheels are wrapped with ultra low profile 205/45R17 tyres.

The Civic Type-R has been on sale in Europe, Japan and some Middle Eastern countries for more than a year now. Rumor has it that the car will be offered in the Fall of 2003 as a 2004 model, although American Honda has been tight-lipped about any such plans.

Grim

Do the dance, while you may
run the road while dust is gray
bottom of my heart I felt sorrow
down my mind i want to throw
the knowledge I gain
the fear i keen
It would follow me
whenever I'm in pain
distribute it while you may
while people don't really crave
the essence
the bit
the section
of your truthful knowledge
you will stand with some greatness
behold the key and try to forget
the grim manner in peoples heart

In the nights - Song from BR

"In The Night"

In the city, the day is too hot
And you're hoping for relief, 'cuz your head is filled with pain,
But you get no relief, 'cuz the night is the same...
In the night, in the night you see through jaded eyes.
In the night, in the night you feel barely alive.
You live your life in darkness, you've got pennies on your eyes.
But you say that it's all right, 'cuz you've never lived a lie,
As you crawl back to your womblike existence in the night.
In the night, in the night you see through jaded eyes.
In the night, in the night you feel barely alive.
You can't see no light, but you hear those heavy footsteps,
And the little man inside twists your tormented mind.
Your mind is filled with shadows, your palms are wet with sweat.
Limbs are bound and tangled in a fatal net.
There are two things you can do.
One is turn and fight.
The other's run headlong into the night.
In the night, in the night you see through jaded eyes.
In the night, in the night you feel barely alive.
You can't see no light, but you hear those heavy footsteps,
And the breathing at your side, is it yours, or is it
Good bye!
