Trimming my lemuni tree.

I manage to spare some of my time to trim my lemuni tree morning of 18 March 2019. I just used my plant cutter that I bought in 2017. Very useful and essential item in my gardening bag. At least I do not need to go back in the house to take my scythe and machete.

I myself quite surprised with the amount of branches that is on the road after finished the trimming process.

The look of my bendi (okra/ladyfinger) in 1.5 liter container.

I saw one of my bendi (okra/ladyfinger) plant bear 1 fruit today. I harvest it for my supper tonight. It is planted in 1.5 liter container. As I run out of land area to plant them. Since I am giving way to my banana plant.
This is harvested today.

This is taken last 24 March 2019.

My weekend outing to Pekan Nenas, Pontian.

We went out for keropok lekor losong hunting (fried fish sausages) in Pekan Nenas last 2 February 2019, after Zohor prayer.
Selfie on my look while waiting for my girlfriend in front of her house.

Impressed with her neighbour's pisang 40 hari  (banana) plants.

The pretty, healthy and growing look of my nona (sweetsop/sugar apple) fruit.

The look of it last 13 March 2019. Can see it grows much bigger compare to last taken 16 February 2019 [1].

Envious on the wide land size area of corner unit to Rumah Mampu Milik Taman Pulai Hijauan

Yesterday evening I cannot stop from driving on pass my house entrance towards the Rumah Mampu Milik near my residential area. It does worth to make such detour.
I am really envious of the wide land size of the corner house unit in there. It is almost 20 feet wide!! Wider than mine. Well, I am intermediate house.
Really envious of this humongous land size area beside the corner unit. Even the land size around the electric pole is around 3 feet wide. Definitely can plant many things.

The land size inside the inner side of the house also larger than the existing 2 storey terrace house, Alder type in Taman Pulai Hijauan.
The wide road gap between house gate and the main road in front of the house also wider than the one in front of the existing 2 storey terrace house, Alder type in Taman Pulai Hijauan. I think able to fit 1 Hilux parked horizontally at the gap without even obstructing the main road. So lucky for those who buy this type of Rumah Mampu Milik.
The house owners here just get their house key last January 2019. So nice.
To be frank, I prefer larger land size than house built up. As I like to plant fruit trees, vegetables and herbs for my daily consumption.
Till then, have fun in window shopping for good Rumah Mampu Milik that have ample land size area for gardening activities.

My make up look of the day.

It is just a simple daily make up look. The only difference is the make up tools = make up brushes. I am using 2 brushes from my 14 pieces custom Sigma set make up brush [1]. Which is F35 to put on my blush and E65 to draw and define my eyebrows.
Morning look around 9.45 am.

The healthy look of pisang lemak manis planted in clothes basket after 145 days.

This is the look morning of 26 March 2019. After 4 months and 25 days planted in my neighbour's clothes basket last 2 November 2018 [1].
Now the main pisang lemak manis already grow taller than the brick fence around 8 to 10 feet high. It is already bear 2 unit of small offspring.

The pretty look of my blooming strawberry flowers last night.

Manage to take pictures of my blooming strawberry flowers after reach home after dark last night. Despite I always refrain from taking night pictures of my plant due to peace of mind from uninvited ones👻 posing in it😅. But it is too pretty to pass on. Plus I am afraid the flower only bloom at night and wither next morning like bakawali plant.

That why using the correct
  • foundation colour, 
  • foundation undertone and 
  • foundation colour matching with hands colour 
is very crucial for my make up applications.

The look of my pisang relong offspring.

The look of my pisang relong offspring last 18 March 2019. Quite surprising. After 108 days or 3 months and 8 days plant it directly on soil last 1 December 2018 [2]. Well it means that the plant is growing well despite it is still young.

After this, I can start selling the pisang relong offspring. As I have less land area at home to plant it.

My consultation on UPU online course selection via whatsapp.

Part of my consultation on UPU online course selection via whatsapp last night. I just put my consultation hours in my whatsapp status to be from 11 am until 6 pm weekly only.

Asking me regarding gender discrimination in engineering field. I simply reply that no gender discrimination in electronics engineering. Just need to work hard if you are a female.
This student also asking me about pyschology course. She should ask her counselor instead of me who is electronic engineer. I only specialize in electronic engineering.

Compliment on my never aged look from my ex matriculation mate.

I was complimented by one of my ex matriculation mate today when I asked for our photos during matriculation activity last 2001 and 2002. He said that I never aged since the last time he saw me in 2001 and 2002😳😆.
The compliment caught me by surprised also😳. Still it does makes me feel nice. As it means that I do take good care of myself well and in correct way to be able to get such compliment😉💪.

The look of my Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Jet Black sweet potato vine (ipomoea batatas)

The look of my Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Jet Black sweet potato vine (ipomoea batatas) last 11 March 2019.
The dark purple look of my sweet potato plant.
It cuttings was given by one of my Aunt last 12 February 2019. She did mentioned that this type of sweet potato only used the leaves to make stir fry vegetable dish. The tuber is not much for consumption. Where my findings below👇👇👇 does support my aunt's advise.

While Sweet Potatoes all come from the same parent material out of Southeast Asia, there is a big difference between the Sweet Potato you buy in the store and the tubers produced by the Sweet Caroline and the Illusion plants. Commercial sweet potatoes have been bred for over 100 years selecting for those with the best sugar to starch content (hence the name SWEET Potato), the ornamental have been bred to produce good leaves and no tubers, though they do form, they are composed of almost pure starch and no sugar; making them a poor choice for eating. So yes you can eat the tubers, but don't expect anyone to come back for seconds! Also always be careful when eating any ornamental plant unless you know how it was grown, and if pesticides or fungicides were used on it before you got it; a tuber is a storage root, and yes they store chemical as well as starch.
Till then, have fun planting ornamental sweet potato plant at home😉💪.

My review on Malaysia digital gap in fresh graduates supply and demand in 2020 graph.

I manage to get graph below on Malaysia digital gap in fresh graduate supply and demand in 2020. This graph is done last 2017 by MDEC with Frost & Sullivan.
Can see here👆👆👆 how many demand and supply for engineering field. Which is mostly -ve (negative)
The graph also shows that demand is more than supply especially for graduated students in engineering field.
As for business studies, more supply of graduated students than demand from industry. Which leads to massive unemployment for graduated students from business studies. Then they will start blaming the government for unemployment regardless it is their decision to take business studies to their target to easy score in the field of studies.
From this survey report also, can see that industry prefered 3 from 13 Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs). Which is:
  1. Multimedia University (MMU) Cyberjaya
  2. Tuanku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC)
  3. Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)

From the survey also can see that 99% students from engineering faculty accepted for industrial training or internship.
You have the right to refuse non engineering course offer. It is not like you will be kill if not accepting it. This is Malaysia, not Iraq😅😆.

Yes I know people will normally advised to take the course that you are interested with. But I strongly feel no point to pursue your field of interest when it will end up with unempoyment after graduated. That is such a waste of time, money and effort. Not to mention the effect to your psychology after that. That is why I prefer prevention than cure method.
Like me personally, I last time did set appointment and consult counsellor after get my SPM and Matriculation results. I also asked my relatives who works as engineers and have the experience to study overseas.
I also glad to put on effort and fight my right to apply my choice of engineering course last time. Despite my Mum strongly wanted me to be in education field. As it turned out I make a very thorough and wise decision after consulting consellor and engineers in practise. Cause my Mum is no engineer nor have any experience in engineering field and area. That is why it is very important to consult people who are expert and have experience in engineering field. Worth all my effort for being a fighter. As I a strong believer that I am the one who will bear to all the consequences in my life decision making instead of others. As I am the one living on my life no matter what others say and so-called-cared (my subtle term for extra nosy people) to help decide.

Also we have tips and techniques for non science stream student who wanted to take engineering course. Which will be unveiled in our talk on UPU course online selection this coming 30 March 2019.
Can choose either morning or noon session.
Morning session: 9 am till 12 pm.
Evening session: 2 pm till 5 pm.
Venue: VeCad laboratory in block P04, School of Electrical Engineering.
Fee: RM 50 per student. 25 students only per session. First come first serve basis.
Can text/whatsapp/Telegram me for more details at 0167707527 (Nurul).

I have even put effort making simple flowchart for course selection last November 2018 [6].

Till then, please be extra careful in your UPU course online selection.

My consultation service on UPU course selection for SPM 2018.

Last night, I accompany my girlfriend to help give UPU course consultation to her nephew. As usual my opinion is highly towards to electronics engineering field. my background is from Electronics Engineering, majoring in Computer from UTM last August 2007 [1].
Initial look of dicussion after food.

The listed course selection based from option listed in UPU online system.
I do asked her nephew to make list of the selected course especially the requirement and what subjects need to be taken throughout the whole program. 

Chocolate Bar Galante with whole Hazelnut and nutty taste.

Chocolate Bar Galante with whole Hazelnut and nutty taste. It is basically a dupe of Kinder Bueno chocolate bar. Bought it last 27 February 2019 with price less than RM 3 for 1 bar. Still around 24% cheaper than 1 bar of Kinder Bueno. It does taste nice. Not as rich as Kinder Bueno. Yet acceptable to my taste and needs.
