Finished my mid-term presentation for my laboratory in the evening... :) This is the first time I did it in English. Usually, I did it in Japanese, but today, Josephine and Pum did it in English, so ME TOO! I'm a foreign student, not a Japanese! Doing it in English is far more easier, but the problem is we cannot expect questions from the Japanese students, that's why all my previous presentation in the laboratory were made in Japanese.
About the presentation... hmm... just showing my old data. Six-month-old data. So, Even egawa sensei didn't ask me because he already knows what the content is. My new data is still very confidential at the moment. Probably, Egawa is the first guy who will see it, haha... I've gave him some hint about it a couple of days ago. So, he expect me to show him the data. Haha... most part of the analysis has finished, just a few corrections that I'm working with. Insya'ALLAH, at least another paper for this data alone... Insya'ALLAH :)
Okay, have to get some sleep. So tired because as usual, had seminar after the presentation, had some shopping at Jusco after that, and had hot-pot with my friend at home... haha! Too much activities in a single day... too tired.
See ya'!

Happy Hari Raya to All
Maybe it's still not too late to wish Happy Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all Muslims around the globe. I don't have much time to spend time blogging here these days, but I really miss this site. Called my family back home in Malaysia, but seems everybody's too tired with the celebration and open house... so nobody wanted to speak with me... hmmm. Okay, till then. Wassalam.

Turn off indexing and speed up Windows XP
If you don't use Windows XP's built-in search often (like every day), disabling indexing can significantly speed up your PC.
By default Windows XP indexes files on your hard drive and stores them in memory to speed up its' built-in search. But if you rarely use Windows search, turn off indexing to free up memory and CPU horsepower for the files and applications you actually do use. A few simple how-to steps after the jump.
To turn off indexing:
1. Open up "My Computer."
2. Right-click on your hard drive (usually "C:") and choose "Properties."
3. Uncheck the box at the bottom that reads "Allow Indexing Service to..."
4. Click OK, and files will be removed from memory. This removal may take a few minutes to complete.
To disable the indexing service:
1. In the "Start" menu, choose "Run."
2. Type "services.msc" and press Enter.
3. Scroll-down to "Indexing Service" and double-click it.
4. If the service status is "Running", then stop it by pressing the "Stop" button.
5. To make sure this service doesn't run again, under "Startup Type:", choose "Disabled."
Windows search will still work if you perform these steps, but it will work more slowly than if indexing was enabled.

Finished temperature-dependence photoluminescence (PL) measurements...
So tired... finally finished TD-PL just now, from 5K to 300K (10K increment for 5K-100K & 20K increment for 100K-300K). There's 5 samples to measure... actually, it's not the sample which make it hard, but the temperature increment which make it very boring measurement. At first, I had to put my samples into a cryostat, cools the cryostat using liquid Helium until it reaches 5K, and increase the temperature according to the measurement parameter using a heater. And, there's a lot of waiting to get the temperature stabilized, before doing the photoluminescence (PL) measurement.
What makes it a tiring measurement is... there was problem with the diffusion pump when I vacuum the cryostat last night (after putting my sample in). Even after waiting for 2 hours, the pressure still at 2 x 10^(-2) Pa. It should be around 1 x 10^(-4) Pa after 40 minutes pumping...
Then, when it reached 5K this morning, I found that the He-Cd (helium-cadmium) laser [used to excite electron in MQW (multi-quantum-well) structure of my sample] didn't reflected properly / passing properly through mirror / lenses on the optical configuration. The worse thing is I found 2 laser spot on my sample, even though there's only 1 laser used in the configuration. I think somebody has accidentally touched the mirror/lenses on the optical table... I was soooooooooo ANGRY!!! But, who? Arghhh...
Fortunately, I fixed the mirror direction on the optical table to get 1 laser spot on my sample... fortunately... seems like it's ok. Dr. Ishikawa must be sooo angry if he found that thing happened again. Everybody who do PL must be angry if he/she found the laser is reflected to different direction... it's normal thing in this field. But, who did it? Hmm... no idea... maybe those guys... (no more comments)
Okay, I've to go home... so tired. I've to spend many hours to analyze the PL data...
Just hoping I could sleep well tonight... Insya'Allah.
~~~ So happy to see a mail from Chongqing in my mailbox just now :) ~~~

Yet another ω-2θ scan...
Doing omega-2theta scan for my MQW sample on GaN substrate. Got the BEST result I've ever collected for my MQW structure! And hope this is among the best result in the world! Alhamdulillah... berkat bulan Ramadhan.

Japan Applied Physics Society Fall Meeting
Japan Applied Physics Society Fall Meeting is being held at Chubu University, not so far from Nagoya. I also went there to listen for special symposium on GaN research today. The speakers are Prof. Akasaki (Meijo Univ.), Prof. Amano (Meijyo Univ.), Prof. Shuji Nakamura (Univ. of California at Santa Barbara), and a guy from Toyoda Gosei (sorry, not remember his name) who is managing opto-electronics department there.
Frankly speaking, I've read/seen most of the contents in their presentations, but listening to their presentations gave me a perspective that they've devoted all their life for what they've done. They also have pride in what they're doing... that's very obvious. Although there's not so much I could learn from their presentation, at least their hard work gave me some glory for what I'm doing.
The most important presentation is about LED and LD on m-plane GaN which is scheduled for tomorrow at 9AM. I'll be there, for sure.
Met Prof. E* as soon as I returned to the laboratory this evening. There's a lot of thing on schedule to be done... but not to say anything here. Also got sample from Suzuki-san. And had some discussion with Nomura-san about the sample I asked him to grow on tomorrow. Now, actually, I'm doing XRD (x-ray-diffraction) scan for the sample I received from Suzuki-san just now. The characterization will finish tomorrow morning at 7:30AM (it takes 12 hour)... so tonight will be another sleepless night for me. I've to finish it before 8AM as it takes around 1 hour to go to Chubu Univ. from my university, by train and feeder-bus, to listen for the m-plane GaN LED/LD tomorrow morning at 9AM.
Okay, good luck for everybody! :)

Toki Premium Outlet Store
Yesterday, I went to Toki Premium outlet store in Toki-city, Gifu Prefecture with my room-mate (Kucai). I first thought that it was impossible to make it yesterday since the weather was raining hardly. But, we really made it! Haha! Kucai drove his car along the entire journey which took 2 hours for each single trip. Stopped at Sushiro (an Osakan sushi restaurant) at Tajimi-city (in Gifu Prefecture) on our way back to Nagoya. Happppy! :)

Moved back to my old room...
As what I've been told by Prof. E* yesterday, my group members and I have to clear the room we're now which is owned by Assoc. Prof. I*. Today, Prof E* told me (and others in the room) to move to my older room, which is owned by him. So... since morning, we moved... until around 3PM. I appreciate Shu-san and Pum-san, both who helped me cleaning the (new) room and moving my goods. So tired... I should've finished my Hall measurement if there was no moving today. At 4:30, I watched Shu-san's presentation for his PhD entrance exam, together with E* sensei and Pum-san. Alhamdulillah, I could learn a lot from his presentation (and actively gave my ideas to improve his presentation and experiments). I also told E* sensei that I'll attend the conference in Malaysia next November, and all my ideas to improve my LD (aready made discussion with my junior, Maki-san yesterday) . There's a lot to do with it, but I feel very happy as my involvement with this research would be a very valuable experience for my own life and future industrial breakthrough... Alhamdulillah :)
The room I've to leave... really miss this place...
My new place... syukur dgn setiap kurniaan-Nya.

Don't know why... this blog is jamming...
Today I found out that the youtube video I shared in this blog using the "Sharing" panel inside youtube, which failed to appear at the time I shared them, just appeared... but with 4 videos appearing continuously in the posts. No... they looked not as I thought it should be... so I deleted them all. Actually, I don't want this blog to be a collection of videos. I have a large collection of videos at youtube... this blog should be a blog, with my own writing. I write to improve my own english writing (most of the time)... not to show my writing to others. This blog itself is only known by me and a only few people... no more than 10 persons. Blogging is a personal thing... the more viewer you got, the harder for you to write about them. I keep thing about myself private most of the time... :)

Grapes-picking in Okazaki
Have to take some time to update this blog. Actually, I'd some nice activities this week. After having tough time last 2 weeks, I went for a grape-picking at Okazaki-city, Aichi (JP). Okazaki is a city within Aichi prefecture, the same prefecture where Nagoya-city and Toyota-city are. It sounds close to Nagoya, but... when going there by car using normal road, it took 3 hours per trip. That means we spent 6 hours being stuck in a car just to pick some grapes to eat. Haha... maybe buying grapes at a supermarket next to my apartment is easier. But hey... we love something challenging, right!? At least I could get some relief from stress I had (mostly from laboratory jobs). Haha... see the pic? Everybody's smiling :)

Ustaz Azhar Idrus - Sesungguhnya Manusia Itu Dlm Kerugian
An Islamic preach from an ustaz from Kuala Terengganu (Malaysia) in my nostalgic Terengganu slang... impressive!
