The Rule of Thumb

On February 29, 2012, in Randoms, by Amir Ridwan

I’m gonna tell you the rule of thumb that you have already known yet have forgotten. I guess you know better than me, not even in jobs and knowledges, in fact about lifes. When someone bought something that he/she loves so much and feels excited about it, please don’t say something that make him/her feels down and hopeless EVEN FOR YOU THAT THING IS WORTHLESS OR NOT YOUR TASTE. Maybe you want to tell them it’s worthless or disagree but please say it on the right way. Maybe you can tell him/her “It is a good thing to have and I love it too, but you better safe your money after this”, if that thing he/she bought is extremely expensive for you. Because maybe for him/her, they have put aside some of their savings for that thing and might be managing their money pretty well compared to you. At least after you told him/her that, he/she will know that you are disagree with him/her but won’t feel hopeless, in fact you are giving them the hope. Simply said, be more positives than negatives towards people.

The Abstract

On February 27, 2012, in Studies, by Amir Ridwan

For your information, I am currently doing my internship AS WELL AS thesis. My advisor is my own aunty, Professor Madya Noor Izah Ismail Binti Ismail. She’ is a very strict advisor I tell you. She asked me the abstract of my thesis last week and tell if I cannot follow her style, just switch to another advisor. I was so worried and I quickly turn into my office table to finish the abstract. I do not have any data yet actually. I believe once you got the data, it’s easy for you to draft your thesis. I was so clumsy and end up with this simple abstract. Abstract is also meant to be simple right? :P

In financial analysis, forecasting often involves regressing one time series variable on another. However, to ensure that models are correctly specified, one need to first test for stationary, co-integration and causality. In testing for causality, the variables should be stationary. If non-stationary, one can estimate the model in difference form, unless the variables are co-integrated.  This article determines whether United States (US) currency and Malaysia (MYR) currency are stationary, and which variable causes the other, using econometric analysis. In most cases, US currency is found to cause MYR currency. This is so when the models are estimated in levels. However, when estimated in first differences, the causal relationship tends to be reversed such that MYR currency causes US currency. Further study is recommended, whereby panel data could be used to improve the power of the tests.

YES! Attitude

On February 26, 2012, in Books, by Amir Ridwan

I would like to share with you a book that was introduced by my uncle, Ahmad Azwaree which is very inspiring. This book is written by Jeffrey Gitomer basically is telling you how to get your not even positive attitude, but YES! attitude as well. I just knew that when you are saying YES!, you will automatically have confident in doing your tasks. For example if your boss is calling you, just say it YES! even you know that your boss is about to give you a task and you are lazy to get up from your seat. This is not even to give you confident, but to show your boss that you are ready and make him/her confidence in delegating the tasks to you.

So far, it helps me a lot in getting my self esteem. It teaches me how am I going to face the obstacles in my life. I love what he quoted “YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE WHEN YOU THINK WHO YOU ARE”. Yes, I believe that. I practice what Jeff tought me also like smile when you wake up because it is the first positive attitude when we wake up and insyaAllah you will feel better through out the day. I practice also when I’m about to sleep like jotting down my unsolved tasks/problems. It’s like we store our tasks/problems for a while and you will feel free to sleep. Next morning you maybe find another ways better to solve the tasks/problems due to have free and fresh mind.

I finished reading the book but I would like to bring that book everyday to be my daily life reference. Maybe 2 pages a day.

Till then, :D

P/S: Don’t worry when someone telling you somethings that will make you feel down and refusing to achieve what you want or doing something differently from others that make them feel uncomfortable, because you are already won and in fact, you are living in advance.

Time Machine

On July 5, 2011, in Apple, by Amir Ridwan

I really wish there is a time machine exist in this world. But too bad, I’m sure it won’t exist because it involves with time and only Allah can create it. You know what I meant? If there is a time machine in this world, when will be our end of the world? I bet a scientist will be mad if he creates a time machine.

Time Machine application at the dock.

But what I want to share is something similar with time machine. It involves with computer. Yeah, only Mac OS X can use this application, Time Machine.

Even we do not practice a real time machine, we still can use it in a Mac though. It is used to back up whole Mac OS X system in a particular Mac computer from time to time. So, if we have made some careless mistakes (such as accidentally deleted a very very important file) that might cannot be restored it at the present time or even cannot get back later, there is no need to be worried if we have backed up before it was deleted. Have a look at the images below;

My desktop files that were backed up

My desktop files now. (notice that some of my files I deleted)

The later image shows I have deleted some of files from desktop. If I did delete such important files, I could get it back by choosing the 4.12 A.M backed up (former image). After you decided to get back like what it was (from the images, I just backed up once, so I can only choose this back up if want to), click restore at the right bottom and you can relax while the Mac will do the rest. Cool isn’t? You can simply get your Mac back to what you love even though you have done many sins. Haha

Neyo – One In A Million

On January 22, 2011, in Musics, by Amir Ridwan

Jet setter
Go getter
Nothing better
Call me Mr. been there done that
Top model chick to your every day hood rat
Less than all but more than a few
But I’ve never met one like you

Been all over the world
Done a little bit of everything
Little bit of everywhere
With a little bit of everyone
All the girls I’ve been with
Things I’ve seen it takes much to impress
But sure enough you go it makes your soul stand up from all the rest

I can be in love
But I just don’t know
Baby one thing is for certain
Whatever you do it’s working
All the girls don’t matter
In your presence can’t do what you do
There’s a million girls around but I don’t see no one but you

Girl you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this

You’re not a regular girl
You don’t give a damn about your look
Talking about I can’t do it for you
But you can do it for yourself
Even though that ain’t so
Baby cause my dough don’t know how to end
But that independent thing I’m with it
All we do is win baby

I could be in love
But I just don’t know
Baby one thing is for certain

Whatever you do it’s working
All the girls don’t matter
In your presence can’t do what you do
There’s a million girls around but I don’t see no one but you

Baby you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this
Girl you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this

Timing girl
Only one in the world
Just one of a kind
She mine

Ooh all that I can think about is what this thing could be
A future baby
Baby you’re one of a kind
That means that you’re the only one for me
Only one for me
Baby (girl) you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this
Girl you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this

 

Ber-MODUL satu hari!

On January 22, 2011, in Stories, by Amir Ridwan

Semalam aku dan budak rumah aku macam biasa akan lewat masuk tidur since today is Saturday. But kita silap, ingatkan modul tu hanya sekejap tapi tak, dari pukul 8a.m. hingga 6.45p.m. @.@ Memang agak mengantuk la sikit tapi luckily aku ada vitamin USANA Essentials. Memang segar mataku sampai ke malam kot. Pada mula pukul 8a.m. tu start dengan ceramah yang agak bosan. Aku dengan suka hati melarikan jari ku untuk mencapai iPhone aku and searched for the news today. Aku pergi ke section Business, dan aku dapati FBM KLCI jatuh dalam 1.22% ke 1547.35 mata to be exact. FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Index (FBMKLCI) adalah index yang menunjukkan movement keseluruhan pasaran di Malaysia. If I’m not mistaken la because baru belajar jugak untuk tengok index tu maklumlah semester ini kena kuat dengan general knowledge so that aku dapat score untuk setiap paper.Hehe.. Tapi I was trying to put my legs into the speaker’s shoes! Memang aku rasa kesian pulak kat dia sebab memang tak ramai yang nak dengar dia cakap. Pagi Sabtu pulak, memang ramai yang taknak dengar dan tidur. Kesian~ Then aku pun sedar untuk terus focus mendengar ceramah tersebut. Chewah!

Modul ni, sebenarnya aku tak register pun, so memang nama aku, adik dan Ammar takde dalam senarai. Kami pun bergegas ke tempat pendaftaran dan I was lucky that Adik and I are the same group in group 8. Ammar di group 9. Modul ni tentang integriti, akountabiliti dan sebagainya. So, ia mengajar aku banyak benda jugak. Seperti untuk mempercayai orang dalam memberi tugas-tugas dan hal peribadi. Aku punya fasilitator adalah miss 3N! HAHA. Rasa bersalah pulak aku pernah masuk class dia sekali je dan pindah ke class lain. Dia sangat bagus dalam bercakap di depan orang ramai. Aku suka tengok dia gelak ketawa, membuatkan aku nak gelak. Jadi sebelum start class modul tadi, dalam diri aku telah tertimbul masa ni la untuk aku participate dalam program. So, aku beranikan diri untuk bercakap dan menjadi sukarela untuk membentangkan kertas kerja kami tadi. Aku faham, walaupun kita seronok sangat study, tapi softskills tu perlu ada dalam diri so that kita boleh bawak diri kita ke mana-mana sahaja. Especially during in our work place. Yeah, I heard there are so many people out 4.0 flat but still mengangur sebab soft skills takde. So, memang fall flat la. Agak sayang kalau kita tak menggunakan masa kita belajar untuk participate dalam apa jua proram ya kawan-kawan. Macam aku perasan tadi dalam group lelaki, aku dan adik aku yang berani menampilkan diri untuk membuat perbentangan. Aku sangat berterima kasih pada budak rumah aku yang melatih diri aku jadi seorang yang berani dan tetap pendirian. Love you guys. I realized the old me was so terrible in doing presentation or to be in front of people.

Aku agak puas jugak dengan modul tadi sebab for me, it’s a productive day because aku menggunakan masa dan tenaga sepenuhnya. In addition, I got to learn some stuffs. Ayah aku selalu pesan kat aku “do what you have to do, then you can do what you want to do” Aku pegang kata-kata ayahku ini so that dapat membakar semangat aku untuk terus berjaya. I hope I’ll be doing great in this semester.

Adik: "Bang, pandang sini, nak masuk uitmlife.com"

Jadi lepas habis pasal modul, malam tu aku terserempak dengan lecturers aku A.K.A aunty dan uncle aku di restoran yang sama dengan kami. Aunty dan uncle aku ni memang baik dan suka menolong orang. Aku suka bila bersama mereka. Mereka selalu memberi aku information yang berguna dan bersembang je bila berjumpa macam orang lama tak jumpa. Maybe mereka rindu untuk bersembang dengan anak-anak perempuan mereka yang belajar di oversea dan bekerja di KL. Anak mereka, Imran sekarang menduduki tahun SPM. Wish him the best of luck. =) Jadi, selesai dinner, aku dapat tau, uncle dan aunty aku belanja kami makan. Alhamdulillah, tu la namanya rezeki. Hehe. Rugi aku tak order apple juice. GAHAHA. Just kidding.

Then we headed for karaoke. Aku perkenakan lagu Sejati dari Wings, Gemuruh dari Amy Search dan Awie, dan lastly lagu I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith. Macam biasa, karaoke adalah tempat aku menjerit dan melepaskan tension. Woohoo! Seronok jugak bila have fun dengan kawan-kawan serumah. Diorang macam adik beradik aku dah.

Amsyar sedang menunjukkan bakat terpendamnya!

Adik dan Rusydi sedang memilih lagu diorang.

So, sampai di sini saja ye!
