Tested assembly code from slides in Module 8 of Microprocessor class

This was taken at noon on 18 December 2024, while I was testing assembly code from the slides in Module 8 of the Microprocessor class.
Despite having taught the class last 13 November 2024 before their Test 1, I still encountered students last 9 December 2024 asking why their code wouldn't compile in the Keil uVision software. This demonstrates that many of them haven't even attempted to compile the assembly codes from the earlier notes after being taught.
I was asked to compile the assembly codes because the lecturer wanted me to demonstrate to the students how the code is compiled. You can see that I test the assembly code page by page. This approach saves time and avoids creating multiple project files. I can also comment on the code line by line as needed to show examples incrementally. Alternatively, one could create separate projects for each page—this is entirely up to the individual testing the code.
This is essentially part of my consultation work, which happens behind the scenes. Often, people perceive that I do "nothing" because I’m not working on the front-end tasks. Many assume this work is simple and easy for others to do, especially with daily practice. However, I recall when someone took over my role in 2015 and complained about the amount of work and hassle involved—even though they were confident initially. It’s worth noting that even this person, a male, found the workload challenging. It seems my tasks only look easy to others.
Until then, enjoy testing assembly codes in Keil uVision software!

Using 5 meter power extension to charged up laptop during class

This is taken last 9 December 2024. Where I used my power extension that have 5 meter cord length to charged up my laptop. 
This is during 2 hours class of microprocessor subject. Need to use laptop to take notes and check up notes during class in session. Now already started programming session. So, it is best to try simulate the code for faster verification during class in session.
Until then, have fun in using suitable cord length to your power extension for your usage.

USB and USB-C port for charging in Super Nice Bus Express

This is taken on the morning of 17 August 2024. Where I take Super Nice Bus Express to go KL for work travel.
I was impressed with the USB and USB-C ports available at the back of the bus seat. Very convenient for me to charged my devices. Just need to remember to bring charging cable.
I wait at bus stop in Shell Sri Putri. As the Super Nice office is locked. Fortunately by 9.35 am the Super Nice Sri Putri personnel call me. Asking if I know where to wait for the bus. As the bus just leave Bus Terminal Tun Aminah. 
Thankfully I am able to board the bus smoothly from the bus stop. And arrived safely in TBS.
Learn new way to go to KL other than Larkin Sentral.
Until then, have fun exploring new way to travel to KL.

My review on my heat proof baking pad.

This is taken last 12 August 2019. Before I start to cook my steamed rice.
Able to withstand heat up to 220 degree.
Size 40 cm x 30 cm.
Here can see I folded my heat proof baking pad to fit it into my 2.5 liter pressure cooker. I used the baking pad last 15 November 2019 to line under used ceramic bowl. In order to avoid any scratch to my precious non stick inner pot.

 The cooked rice with black glutinous rice.
Until then, have fun in cooking steamed rice.

Measuring part of head skin of my volunteer after consistent usage of my self made herbal hair tonic.

I used my skin condition measurer since last 11 March 2019.

Condition: while subject 1 still wearing hair tonic B.
Parted hair part:
 Top part, middle section.

Measurement of skin condition after he wash his hair with shampoo from hair tonic B in the morning.



Parted hair part.

Top part, middle section.
After wash from hair tonic A.2 in the evening only with water.
Parted hair part:
 Top part, middle section.
It is quite a challenging experiment when the volunteered subject 1 did not follow my SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).
Which is to clean hair from hair tonic using mild shampoo.
It hinder me from getting correct measurement from my data collection.
Still, I have to make do since it is done voluntarily by subject 1.
As I can only get weekend data from myself due to my condition wearing hijab in daily basis until my daily work is done.
Quite a project that I have done last time. Nowadays, hardly have time for such. Well, time well spend.
Until then, have fun in taking data from your volunteered subject of experiment.

My verdict after using my 26 cm/10 inch LED ring light.

This is taken last December 2022. Where I  am experimenting on LED light for photography. 
Worth the investment. As I am able to take good pictures despite the room lighting is poor using only my Samsung J7 Prime phone.
The light from the 26 cm LED ring light disperse evenly close to the object. Basically I can put my phone with the light within less than 6 cm from object. Enable me to get close up picture shown below.

Not easily achieve when using my 8 cm LED ring light. As I need to put both of light and my camera further in order for the light to disperse evenly to get the picture that I wanted. 
For this, I use my dual Britney Spears perfume as the object.
Until then, have fun in using good LED light.

My review in traveling with Mayang Sari bus express

This is taken on the noon of 10 September 2023. Where I book bus ticket Mayang Sari bus express from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) to Larkin Sentral. 1 pm of one way trip. What nice about this Mayang Sari bus express is the availability of 2 unit of usb port for charging in the middle of the joined seat.

The look of 2 usb ports in the middle of the joined seat.
This is a bonus for me. As I am able to save the usage of my power bank and use this usb port instead to charged up my phone on the bus. Just need to remember to bring usb cable. 
Until then, have a safe time charging while traveling.

Discussion on final year project after PCB short course

This is taken on the noon of 19 November 2024. After the PCB short course ends. In Vecad lab pantry. Where this student interested to do his final year project related on semiconductor. As it is the industry that offer higher salary pay at the moment. 
It is quite an extensive discussion. As this student is Mechatronic student. But there is still a way to achieve it. Since normally Electronics engineering students that able to get works in semiconductor industry. Especially those who do related final year project with semiconductor industry. 
Until then, have fun in deciding your final year project.

PCB short course for capstone students

This is taken on the noon of 19 November 2024. Where I have to assist on PCB short course for capstone students. 

Total of 23 students. The short course was held in the smart classroom level 2 in Block P04.

This is the briefing in the PCB lab.
They are final year students. The capstone subject is supposed to prepare the students for their final year projects. Especially the one who used hardware. 
Until then, have fun in attending PCB short course in your university.
