Got my new car!

Alhamdulillah, I got a new car through corporate car auction in Tokyo last Friday (Nov 6th, 2009).

Had to spare a parking space for that car too... and successfully got it yesterday (Nov 7th). It's just near to my university's back gate, near to Circle K convinient store. A pretty convenient place, indeed. But, have to 'kayuh2' my bicycle to go there from my apartment. Hmm... less than 3 minutes though. Hope that it's safe there.

Tomorrow, I'll go to Showa-ward Police Station to make Parking Lot Certificate (syakou-syoumei-syo). I'll meet the parking lot owner to get his permission letter that I need to submit to that police station. And also pay him JPY12,000 (lowest at that area) for monthly parking. In Japan, you need to have a proper parking lot for your car before they approve to register your name for that car. So, nobody will leave their car at a non-proper place, as every vehicle has it's designated place approved by the traffic police to park. Nice rule. Should also be applied to Kuala Lumpur in the future.

Then, I'll need to go to the police station again the evening to submit all the forms, and then go to Chikusa-ward Office to obtain inkan-syoumei-syo (Certified Seal Registration). I'll need it to register my car thereafter.

I really hope that all the procedures can be completed until Friday Nov 14th. Hmm... not sure though. Next week is also OK. I'm too busy with my thesis this week, I think.

Okay, good luck to everybody!

My favourite...

Me and myself...

I've been very rarely write new post these days. There're so many thing to do in my daily life recently. The experiments, the company management, the thesis, the journal paper, another international conference, the guys inside my company... and where should I steer the company, my love, etc. Oh, I forgot about what I need for myself in every single moment...

Been spent too much money for obtaining some new infrastructure for my company. There is cloud computing dream in me which urges me to go further and further. But, that is for my company. As I said above, it's always myself who me myself forget. Should use the money to buy a Lexus... but now, it's just a Lexus dream. I can only afford a Honda, with money pouring in from my account in Malaysia. It's worse because of the pricey Yen in recent years.

What about Abg Wan's marriage party in November? Would I be able to attend it? I never attended any marriage party in my family since I entered University Malaya... up until today, except for Kak Ra's. Shame on me. Oh God, that's too bad. But how I could attend any of it while I'm hundred of miles away... and returning is not an easy thing, with me who think "my job first, family is next". Oh... maybe I should find something to settle down and get the truth and enjoyment of life... my current condition is too bad (I think, not you think!)

Maybe this is for me...

Arrhenius Plot with OriginLab

Alhamdulillah, today, I've found the way to make Arrhenius fitting to obtain activation energy from my InGaN multi-quantum-well (MQW) temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurement.

I've been searching for the ways to make the fitting for activation energy (Ea) since last week. Thanks to Dr. Chen, he helped me to fit my data yesterday. After getting the fitting data today, I tried to do it myself using my Origin 8.0. He could help me with the fitting because he did it on his home PC running Origin 7.5. The interface is totally different, same as what I have with my Origin 6.0 and Origin 8.0. That's the root of the whole problem. But, now, it's okay.

I'll post the method here when all my data is properly calculated.

Alhamdulillah (Thanks God (Allah)).

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what?s waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
