Jaga aurat anda


Pekara ni macam biasa jer kiter lihat tak kira lah kat rumah ruma sewa, kat asrama, kat surau malah kat masjid pun ader. Ada yang pernah lihat, tapi buat tak tahu jer. Kenapa buat tak tahu dan tidak menegur? Ada yang menjawab tak tahu plak bahagian tu dikira aurat. So..sesaper yg tak tahu, dh tahu la bila tengok gambar diatas. Senang citer… sesaper yg solat mcm tu, mmg confirm dikira BATAL SOLAT. Lepas ni kalau korang tengok sesaper yg solat mcm tu tak kira la ayah,adik,abang ,sepupu ,sedara-mara, sahabat2…tegurlah mereka. Jangan plak bila nampak orang solat macam tu, korang plak lantik dia jadi imam…no..no…no…tp benda ni ader jer belaku…pernah member aku citer dia tengok orang solat mcm tu tapi ma’mum2 yg ikut ramai jer. Mungkin ma’mum2 yg ikut tu tak perasan kot atau pun tak tahu solat macam tu tak sah. Kalau korang rasa rajin nak wat amal, print gambar kat atas tu pastu tampal kat notice board surau ,masjid, sekolah … bukannya aper.. pekara ni sebenarnya ramai yang tak tahu.

Mengapa pekara ni berlaku? Sebab baju yang dipakai tu kecil atau seluar londeh. Bila sujud, baju akan terangkat dan mendedahkan bahagian aurat tu . Tapi…biasanya tak sedar bila aurat bahagian belakang terdedah sbb tak nampak (mata manusia kat depan). Nak selamat, bila dh pakai t-shirt, time solat pakai kain pelikat (pastikan kain diikat atas bahagian pusat).

Sekian, wassalam…

A day at chop shop.


Driving a car with lots of dents and scratches is something odd. If you’re a guy who really cares on your ride appearance, I’m sure you really want to fix it as soon as possible. Just imagine yourself driving a car in this condition to your workplace or school, and as soon as you parked your car you noticed that some peoples around you look at the scratch and dents on your ride and some of them came up with an annoying sentence such as “what a nice hood you have (referring to your scratched hood)”, kind of little bit of shame isn’t it? So, this is what happened to me a few months ago. I have 8 years old Perodua Kelisa with a heavily corroded hood. How the corrosion came from? Well it is a long story to tell here and what I can say it is because of poor body maintenance by previous owner (it is second hand car). I drive that car with this condition for about 4 months and I’m very shy to drive it because of its corroded hood. I try to fix it but, I didn’t have enough budget at first but then when I have enough cash to fix it, I didn’t have much time to send it to the workshop. Just after the final exam, I have lot of free time and I take this chance to fix my hood. First, I send it to the workshop at Jalan Reko,Kajang, the mechanics in charge there told me it would cost RM250 to fix the hood by replacing new protective layer and repainting it. For me RM250 is quite lot of money to spend and I tried out another alternative which replacing the whole hood with new one where I can get it from chop shop. I searched for the used hood on internet (mudah.my) for a month but sadly I couldn’t find any of it with same color with my ride. So, my last effort is to get myself to nearby chop shop which is in Kajang. There, I found a shop where it sold plenty of imported half cut as well as local half cut including Kelisa. There, I found 2 complete whole Kelisa body parts where both of them are in similar color with my ride. The owner of the chop shop offers me RM170 for used hood after trade in with my corroded hood. For me RM170 and RM250 are quite big difference, so I accept the offer from the parts dealer. However the used hood I got not as good as new painted hood but it is much better than the corroded hood.

Corroded Hood

What I want to share here is, if you want to fix your car due to minor damages, don’t straight away send it to the workshop. Try to consider replacing the whole damaged parts with used parts sold at chop shop. This alternative might safe your money.



Take a look at this 3 years old Singaporean Proton Savvy I found at that chop shop , very good condition, not even a scratch can be found on this car. If your car is similar with this car, you just straight away can equip its part without painting it. This will save you from painting cost.

That’s all from me for this time post….drive safely,don't play-play on the road and…..oh yeah, before I forgot….


:P




ENGINEERING...

Finally, I successfully finished up my 2 year 2nd semester. Next semester would be my third year of pursuing my mechanical engineering degree. When I thinking about this..Wow..I already in third year in such a short time and I will finish up my degree in just another one year and a half to come. When I remember back from the time when I was in first year until now, there a lot of things happen. Lots of experience I obtained, lots of friends I made as well as lots of things to do. Assignments, projects, presentation, group discussion, final exam… all these words are commons to me as an engineering student. Those entire things really teaches me lots of lesson not just engineering knowledge but also other things such as the meaning of the friendship, time management and the way how to deal with other peoples. For me, engineering is not just a calculation and solving the problem only but also teach me moral values. In engineering we deal with ethical and moral value as well. For example, we solve problems with the most minimum cost to avoid wasting limited raw material as well as to minimum the pollution to the environment. Also we put the safety factor as our top priority in our design which means we’re just not focusing on profit only but also to ensure the priceless human life to be safe with our design. For me, engineering can be fun since what we all do is creating something that can make our daily life task easier in other word this is what we call it as “MACHINE”.

*Sometimes engineering can drive me crazy as solving engineering related problems aren’t easy things to do. Critical thinking is something cannot be avoided in engineering.
