The pretty, plump and healthy look of the received pisang relong offspring.

I manage to take the parcel containing my pisang relong offspring from office after it arrive before 3 pm yesterday.

After I reach home last night, I immediately put the pisang relong offspring in large container for its temporary place before I plant it on the soil directly today.
Many thanks to my gardening buddy who share this precious pisang relong offspring with me without additional cost. Hopes he would always be in good health for such kindness.
Pictures below was taken under high mode light of my mini LED lamp [1]. Seems like it is bright enough to cover quite pitch black area of my house compound last night around 9 pm.

I was surprised to see first flower blooming from 1 of 7 okra (ladyfingers) plants planted last 28 September 2018. The height of the plant that bear flower is around 3 feet high. Basically, this one produce flower after 63 days from germination day last 28 September 2018 [1]. I planted 5 of them in a large container size 2 feet x 4 feet [2].

My review on Black XS for Her perfume from Paco Rabanne

This is the perfume that I used during my time working in Siemens last 2008-2011. 

If Vera Wang ever make a gothic princess type perfume, this is the scent of it that I have in mind.

I like the subtle patchouli chocolate sweetness scent. Which turns to sweet powdery scent after spraying it on for almost 3 hours time. Despite it is EDT type, it does have good longevity and sillage up to 14 hours on my wrist!

List of notes in the perfume [1,2]:

• Top Notes: Tamarind Flower, Cranberries
• Heart Notes: Patchouli, Hellebore Rose, Black violet
• Base notes: Massoia Wood, Black Vanilla

The set comes with body lotion.

Electronics engineering (degree) course or programme in UTM Johor Bahru

Students can choose the above programme after they finished their matriculation or polytechnic or SPTM. 

I personally would suggest for those who have good results in Mathematics, Additional Mathematics (Add Math) and Physics to choose these 2 from 3 undergraduate programme in School of Electrical Engineering (SKE) in UTM [1]:

1. Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical – Electronics) – SKEL under Division of Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE) [2] or 
2. Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical – Mechatronics) – SKEM under Division of Control and Mechatronics Engineering (CMED) [3]

Choice of concerntration under SKEL programme .

Career and courses options route after SPM

I have been asked last Saturday by my girlfriend to help advise her niece son on possible courses that suits his result and preference.

Since I am from electronics background and UTM graduate, I definitely suggest him to take electronics or mechatronics engineering in UTM. As that is the 2 programme where Siemens  Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. hired while I was with them last 2008 till 2011. Despite I am in Power Generation department, under Energy division [1].

Will make another entry on why electronics programme in UTM better from other universities in Malaysia [3]. This is based from my 3 years experience after working in Siemens Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. and working in School of Electrical Engineering (SKE), UTM for 7 years.

Since this main entry is more on selection and available options for career and courses, can refer to enclosed flowchart for easier understanding of the current flow. As the process flow now different from my time after SPM last 2000. Please bear in mind, this flowchart is done for science stream students only.

Solder and repair my broken earphone using new soldering set.

My earphone has been broken for the past 2 months. That is the last one I have. Since the broken part can be repair, I have tried to repair it using the solder iron in the lab. To my dismay, all 3 of them not working properly and need to be send for maintenance before used. I feel really annoyed with such thing. As the solder iron was bought for the student in the lab to used for their projects. But they don't even bother to maintain the solder iron after usage. They really take things for granted. Somehow, I wish they need to feel and went through what I feel as I am the one left to repair and maintain the lab equipment nowadays. Since they are already graduated.*Seems like I forget to the maintainence step to use the old oxidized soldering iron after almost 6 years not doing it all by myself😅. The forgotten skills.

Fortunately, my boss bought a new soldering iron set for his personal used during 11.11 sale. I manage to get his permission to use it to repair my earphone today. Only took me less than 40 minutes to finished solder and repair my earphone. It has been long since I do soldering works. Now the earphone is working perfectly as before.

The finished look.

The look with tape on to protect it.

Importancy cut off features in your phone charger and cable.

I went out with my girlfriend to UTC in Galleria Kotaraya to assist her renew her car roadtax today. The process took us less than 15 minutes. Quite good for a weekend errand.

Along the way, my girlfriend share with me that she have to replace her phone battery (Xiomi Redmi Note 4) to new one last week. As its bloated and very dangerous to be used [1]. Since the phone battery could be like a time bomb, which can explode anytime and anywhere if not being replaced. It cost her almost RM 300 for such replacement.

Technician who replaces her phone battery does advise her to use phone charger that have cut off feature [1]. As such feature will stop charging when the phone battery is fully charged [1]. Some how, I feel quite lost since I have given her colourful extension that have cut off feature [5]. 

She used that phone almost earlier than me when I bought my Samsung J7 Prime last June 2017 [2]. While I still used all original parts as per day it was purchased. My phone battery also still in a very good condition. Seems like my practise in spending more effort in using phone charger that have cut off feature, does helps me to save unwanted expenses in a long run [1,3,4,5]. Basically I am able to save RM 300 after almost 1 year and 5 months using my phone. Quite a huge achievement for me.

To be frank, I no longer used charger that do not have cut off feature. Since I manage to buy much when I have extra from my projects.

Till then, have fun in using and taking care of your phone wisely.

Kulat kukur or kulat sisir (mushroom), Schizophyllum commune.

I saw this kulat kukur or kulat sisir (mushroom), Schizophyllum commune on my rotten sugar cane plant today [1].

Such luck for me who never throw away any trimmed branches and leaves. The best part is since I used organic approach in pest control and care for my plants, I am able to harvest this precious food for my consumption later without any worries.

Till then, have fun in using organic approach in your garden care.
