Late Night With Shariman

IT is 12'30 Am, I am still waiting for my latop to finish installing SolidWorks 2009, which take forever to install. Ain is in Japan now,in Kumamoto visiting Honda factory there, for a week. So she will be back this Saturday night. Fareehah fell asleep pretty early today...I dunno why but for the last few days she keep on insisting to sleep inside the "buaian"...I guess that is her way to deal with the fact that her mom is not arround now. But last time was different when Ain went to Thailand for 4 days. Fareehah slept besides me every night and it was easier to make her sleep back then.

Hmm...should I wait for England vs Belarus match on 2;30 am? We'll see about it later.
Suddenly I am thinking of why there are no competitor for ASTRO. Its like a walk in the park for them.They keep increasing prices on sports channel, less channel compare to typical kind of cable tv and there are no other company around to challenge them. I remember back in Newcastle,they have bt,sky tv, virgin tv, digital tv and some other stuff too that everyone are competing with each other, and the consumer benefit from that situation.I remember paying like 25 pound for phone line, cable tv and internet. Even if we converted that amount to RM which will be about RM 130, it is damn cheap.Currently I am paying RM 110 for a crappy internet service, and RM 80 for ASTRO. I hope some company like virgin media will come here and start promoting cheap cable tv, phone and internet packages that will make TM net and astro shit their pants off.

Update the Blog will You???

It’s been a while since my last post here. Lot’s of stuffs going on since then. Let me condensed some of the stories.

1. Klang Hospital Story

I like watching that drama,HOUSE… but I never tough that I will be (was) on the receiving end of emergency unit treatment center…well at least not now during my late-20’s. On the 7^th of Ramadhan Al-Mubarak, around 8.00 AM I was rushed to the Klang Hospital Emergency Unit. During that time, I felt a massive pain on my right rib, like something is going to explode and I couldn't breathe, I can barely talk and walk, I felt that my body was under fast-pace dehydration process, I couldn't feel any moisture on my throat and I am thinking am I dying?

I yelled like a crazy person for about 5 hours in the emergency unit, pain killer did not worked, even a dose of morphine couldn't shut up my mouth during that time, let alone making me fall asleep. Around 2 .00 PM after they gave me some medicine that I don’t know the content are,the pain started to ease, and I was transferred to the surgery wad.

They told me it was a cholelithiasis, caused by gallstone inside my gall-bladder.

I was surprise for few minutes, in denial stage it seems to be, but then I thought that this is not a rare thing to happen nowadays. The next day I had a Ultrasonic Scan to confirm the gallstone, at indeed there are multiple stone seen, a big one and few ( 2 small stone I think) small one.

I asked them to transfer the case to hospital in Penang and few days later I was allowed to leave Klang Hospital and went back to Penang.

Today, the gallstones are still inside my gall-bladder and I was thinking of undergoing Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, removal of the bladder. Maybe it will be done in the next few weeks from now. Well, you just never knew what will hit you, it just came like a crazy train smashing you, right on your face. Hmm…there goes one gall-bladder that I will never see again (after the procedure), just thinking...when people said things like “I felt like a part of me is missing… I am so lonely..” kinda line…do they really felt that?

2. New Baby… InsyaAllah

Next year Insya Allah they will be a new member in my family, my wife is currently pregnant (9 weeks), 2nd child it is and we are really excited about this. Hopefully everything goes well InsyaAllah. I know Fareehah will be a good sister because she has the kindness and loveliness attitude to small children.

3. KDX400

Finally my engine arrived from the US. I am so happy, straight away dismantling the engine to see the inside of the engine. This engine, Kawasaki kdx400, a 2-STROKE dirt bike, is awesome! It has this huge bore (80mm) and even without the engine head you can feel it compressing hard while cranking it. I will convert it to a diesel bike. So lots of hard works are required here.

4. 6 MONTHS as a PhD Student

It is already 6 months since I registered as a student here in USM. Time flies… wishing I have more time, wish I worked harder for the last 6 months, I felt that my productivity could be better during that time. But the truth is, could I? Or would I? Should I? I know that as a scholarship holder it is my responsibility to study as best that I can, it is my duty. But since I am a student and have flexibility on my schedule (most of the time), I think it is a privilege that I should take to spend more time with my family as well. Of course I have to cover back any unfinished work late on night (where the productivity is less,in my case). But my goal is to finish my study on time with great results and also spend quality time with my family. God knows the all works waiting for me after I finished my study. Prof. H already planned lots of great work for our team, and I guess I will be involved in lots of the future work here in USM.
