An analog signal is a signal that is written as it is recorded, without having anything encrypted.
A digital signal is an encrypted signal that needs to be decoded, a digital signal only gives a positive or a negative signal, 0s or 1s.
The Analog Kid is about a kid who is overwhelmed with straight-forward emotion. Digital Man is about a heartless, calculating man - putting logic before emotion.xamel1975http://www.blogger.com/profile/09937991344022104052noreply@blogger.comBlogger33125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205973584107295479.post-21885145875520423562012-10-16T16:31:00.000+08:002012-10-16T16:45:36.423+08:00Baby Musa's Dictionary<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He's 1 year and 3 months old now...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pada zaman dahulu, ada seorang Sultan dan memang dah jadi kelaziman, Sultan punyai seorang Bendahara. Sultan dan Bendahara ni memang baik. Sultan tersebut juga ada kegemaran iaitu berlawan pedang. Lawannya adalah adik Sultan itu sendiri.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tapi Sultan ni tidak setangkas adiknya. Lalu dijadikan cerita, satu hari, sedang Sultan bermain pedang dengan adiknya, secara tidak sengaja adiknya terkelar betis Sultan tersebut. Darah mengalir dan bila sembuh nanti, pasti akan berparut.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Terdetik kat fikiran Sultan tu, "Adik aku ni, nak rampas takhta aku ke? Sanggup dia kelar betis aku!".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lalu Sultan tersebut merujuk pada Bendahara mengenai peristiwa tersebut.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Sesungguhnya, adinda Tuanku tidak ada niat nak merampas takhta Tuanku. Namun, patik pasti, kejadian ni ada hikmahnya...", jawab Bendahara tersebut.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sultan tersebut bertanya lagi "Apa hikmahnya?".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ada lah hikmahnya...", jawab Bendahara tu lagi.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sultan tak berpuashati lalu bertanya lagi soalan tersebut dan setiap kali ditanya, begitu jugalah jawapan Bendahara tersebut.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sultan tersebut murka lalu memerintahkan Bendahara tersebut dipenjarakan.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beberapa bulan kemudian, Sultan tersebut pergi memburu. Kerana leka sangat dengan memburu, Sultan tersebut tidak sedar yang dia dah termasuk kawasan orang asli. Orang asli ni dikatakan kanibal dan sesiapa orang luar yang masuk akan dikorbankan untuk dimakan. Orang asli tersebut dapat menangkap Sultan, manakala hulubalang Sultan pula, lari lintang pukang.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sultan merayu agar dia tidak dikorbankan. Bermacam alasan yg diberi namun orang asli tersebut tidak menghiraukan rayuannya. Tiba saat untuk dikorbankan, seorang dukun dari golongan orang asli tersebut memeriksa Sultan tersebut. Tiba-tiba dukun tersebut marah lalu memerintahkan Sultan tersebut keluar dari perkampungan mereka. Dukun tersebut memberitahu, Sultan ada kecacatan pada betisnya, maka tak layak untuk dijadikan korban.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sultan tersebut keluar dari kampung tersebut lalu pulang ke istananya. Terus sahaja Sultan tersebut berjumpa dengan Bendaharanya di penjara lalu menceritakan kejadian yang dilaluinya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Telah patik katakan, Tuanku. Ada hikmah pada setiap kejadian. Sekiranya adinda Tuanku tak terkelar betis Tuanku, pasti Tuanku dah dijadikan korban.", kata Bendahara tersebut.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sultan tersebut sedar akan kesilapannya lalu membebaskan Bendahara tersebut.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kemudian Sultan bertanya, "Apa pula hikmah kamu dapat bila kamu dipenjarakan?".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Tuanku, sudah semestinya seorang Bendahara sentiasa berada di sisi Sultan. Sekiranya patik tak dipenjarakan, sudah tentu patik akan ikut Tuanku bersama memburu dan turut sama akan ditangkap oleh orang asli tersebut. Tuanku mungkin lepas kerana kecacatan Tuanku tapi patik mungkin tak selamat kerana patik tiada kecacatan pada tubuh patik", jelas Bendahara tersebut.</span>xamel1975http://www.blogger.com/profile/09937991344022104052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205973584107295479.post-46814910706809166572011-11-09T16:22:00.003+08:002011-11-09T16:33:22.406+08:00Salam Eid'ul 'Adha<span style="font-family:arial;">We went to my dad's hometown, Kota Bharu during Eid'Ul Adha recently. No '<em>Qurban</em>' from our family... just an '<em>Aqiqah</em>' for baby Musa. My younger brother also took part in '<em>Aqiqah</em>' for his daughter. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2ldgKkv-mO4/Tro5qTWPLEI/AAAAAAAAAFY/PtemSvPD9TQ/s1600/Aqiqah%2BMusa.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672910079537392706" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2ldgKkv-mO4/Tro5qTWPLEI/AAAAAAAAAFY/PtemSvPD9TQ/s320/Aqiqah%2BMusa.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> The ritual took place at Gunong, a district somewhere between Bachok and Pasir Puteh, Kelantan. The local's dialect are hard to understand, even for me who understand Kelantanese dialect :).<br /></span>xamel1975http://www.blogger.com/profile/09937991344022104052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205973584107295479.post-88383224774053412382011-08-18T16:47:00.001+08:002011-08-18T16:50:19.124+08:00I watch "Ancient Aliens" for LULz!<span style="font-family:arial;">Ada Astro? Subscribe Learning Package? Tgk History Channel? Or History HD? Kalau tak tgk pun, mesti perasan this show, kan.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Tergerak aku nak cerita pasal show ni sbb mmg, seriously, aku tgk show ni mmg utk suka2 je. Aku lebih suka tgk The Universe.'Dokumentari' ni memaparkan kisah2 sejarah from Alien/UFO perspective. Fine. Tapi pada yg tgk tu, aku nasihatkan, jaga2 sikit... sbb possibilty utk tergelincir akidah tu, ada kalau tgk 'dokumentari' ni. </span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Last night, episod pasal Underwater World... pasal ruins yg ditemui bawah laut dan tasik. Contoh mcm , 'Bimini Road', Atlantis (purely speculation), Dwarka, etc. Mcm Atlantis, misalannya, dikatakan bahawa 'Atlantis' itself is a huge spaceship. They come to this 'conclusion' sbb Plato states that Atlantis disappeared overnight thru thick fire and smoke - which suggest that the 'Atlantis' spacecraft takes off. Ketiadaan peninggalan kota Atlantis 'supports' this theory. </span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Part tu boleh tahan lagi...Few episodes before that, they suggest that Nabi Isa a.s. is possibly an alien hybrid (Na'uzubillah!) . Ni sbb Mariam mengandung tanpa hubungan sexual dgn lelaki - so possibly alien dah buat artificial insemination ke atas Mariam lalu melahirkan Nabi Isa.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Benda2 mcm ni, kita kena jaga. Aku sure ada some people dah termakan dgn 'facts' drp show ini.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">But for me, the fact yg dibentangkan sgt weak dan kurang credibility. Sure, the people in that show ada title P.H.D... tapi most of them are not really credible utk memberikan fakta mengenai sejarah, etc. Dan most of the people in that show pun, majoritinya adalah author dan publisher buku teori UFO / Alien.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">But, at least ada jugak la some educational value dlm show ni. Thru this show aku found out pasal Pumapunku ruins (interesting to read!), Dwarka myth, and few more obscure ancient civilization.</span>

A Mitsubishi AirTrek 2.0 Turbo. It's a second hand unit and the car has 92K++ on the mileage. It came with 18 inch wheel (gasp!) and repaint with metallic light blue. The original colour was silver. Other than that, everything is still stock standard.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Initial drive review:</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Feels comfortable. But the large rims might have compromise the ride comfort slightly. Despite it's large size, the drivability is very much like driving a normal car with the exception of the ride height. The real fun is when the turbo kicks in :).</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Modifications?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Don't feel like modifying this ride. It'll be a family car that we will use for long journey and weekends. Maybe the most 'extreme' modification I might do is to reflash the ECU and get back the 20HP that was detuned by the factory. Been contemplating on changing the rims into a smaller size... 17 incher perhaps.</span></div>xamel1975http://www.blogger.com/profile/09937991344022104052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205973584107295479.post-79877787196885226612011-01-06T11:56:00.005+08:002011-01-06T12:15:37.962+08:00The finalist [cont'd from "Yang Mana Satu?"]<span style="font-family:arial;">After much deliberation, we've finally have the finalist of our family car candidate.

Nothing new... cuma rehash, copy paste, ubah struktur ayat and then sell to the public. Nothing more. The writers must've watched too many romantic [comedy] movies. Too much fantasy!

One is enough for me. The 'offered package' is quite interesting too. 1 night stay at luxury hotel, fuel rebates, discounts at selected merchants, heck, some even have 'trial period' which you can 'cancel' if you're not satisfied with the package. <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:courier new;"><-</span> <strong>better read the fine lines here!</strong></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Some of these promoter went to the extent of begging you to sign up for their credit card. Being a 'gentleman' I usually try to politely decline but in some cases, I found myself on the verge of shouting at them.
