Invictus (Unconquered)

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley

MESCORP conference registration

Dear all,

MESCORP 2008/2010 is an undergraduate-based research work which involves a field study initiated by Multimedia University‟s engineering students. This research is a study on the influence of the new born technology, nanotechnology in Malaysia with the title "A Step into Nanotechnology: Introducing Nanotechnology‟s Influence in Malaysia".

Over the years, the term “nanotechnology” has slowly made an impact in improvising the lifestyle of mankind. It has evolved over the year, shifting to categorize any materials and constructs smaller than those created by micro-technology. Because of the gradual and slow-paced changes, we are making substantial advancements in nanotechnology almost without realizing it.



Widely used in most fields, nanotechnology’s impact ranges from medical science and manufacturing products, to the machines and mechanisms needed to produce these delicate outputs. Without a definite answer to the exact starting point, it can be concluded that none of us would have realize how advanced we are. The curiosity of the gradual and big improvement on a smaller, and about to decrease, leads us to discovering four main fields that are hugely revolutionized by nanotechnology, namely microprocessor, solar devices, telecommunication devices and memory devices. MESCORP 2008/2010 shall discuss the advancement and obstacles faced by Malaysia under the influence of nanotechnology and compare Malaysia's situation with regional countries, namely Singapore and Japan.

Below is the details regarding the conference & exhibition:
Conference Title : A Step into Nanotechnology: Introducing Nanotechnology‟s Influence in Malaysia
Date : 24th February 2010 (Wednesday)
Time : 8.30am - 5.30pm
Venue : Multipurpose Hall, Multimedia University, Cyberjaya
Admission Fees : RM10 (inclusive of refreshment for lunch and tea break, goodies bag of Garnier product, MyC! and GRADMalaysia magazines, stationery, etc and a chance to win the lucky draw!)

hmmm sleep ler

Got this email from my fren and decided to share this lesson on sleep

What killed Ranjan Das and Lessons for Corporate India

A month ago, many of us heard about the sad demise of Ranjan Das from Bandra, Mumbai. Ranjan, just 42 years of age, was the CEO of SAP-Indian Subcontinent, the youngest CEO of an MNC in India. He was very active in sports, was a fitness freak and a marathon runner. It was common to see him run on Bandra's Carter Road. Just after Diwali, on 21st Oct, he returned home from his gym after a workout, collapsed with a massive heart attack and died. He is survived by his wife and two very young kids.

It was certainly a wake-up call for corporate India. However, it was even more disastrous for runners amongst us. Since Ranjan was anavid marathoner (in Feb 09, he ran Chennai Marathon at the same time some of us were running Pondicherry Marathon 180 km away), the question came as to why an exceptionally active, athletic person succumb to heart attack at 42 years of age.

Was it the stress?

A couple of you called me asking about the reasons. While Ranjan had mentioned that he faced a lot of stress, that is a common element in most of our lives. We used to think that by being fit, one can conquer the bad effects of stress. So I doubted if the cause was stress.

The Real Reason

However, everyone missed out a small line in the reports that Ranjan used to make do with 4-5 hours of sleep. This is an earlier interview of Ranjan on NDTV in the program 'Boss' Day Out':

http://connect.in.com/ranjan-das/play-video-boss-day-out-ranjan-das-of-sap-india-229111-807ecfcf1ad966036c289b3ba6c376f2530d7484.html

Here he himself admits that he would love to get more sleep (and that he was not proud of his ability to manage without sleep, contrary to what others extolled).

The Evidence

Last week, I was working with a well-known cardiologist on the subject of 'Heart Disease caused by Lack of Sleep'. While I cannot share the video nor the slides because of confidentiality reasons, I have distilled the key points below in the hope it will save some of our lives.

Some Excerpts:

· Short sleep duration (<5> compared to those who slept longer than 6 hours per night. Paper published in 2009.

As you know, high BP kills.

· Young people (25-49 years of age) are twice as likely to get high BP if they sleep less. Paper published in 2006.

· Individuals who slept less than 5 hours a night had a 3-fold increased risk of heart attacks. Paper published in 1999.

· Complete and partial lack of sleep increased the blood concentrations of High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-cRP), the strongest predictor of heart attacks. Even after getting adequate sleep later, the levels stayed high!!

· Just one night of sleep loss increases very toxic substances in body such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-alpha) and C-reactive protein (cRP). They increase risks of many medical conditions, including cancer, arthritis andheart disease. Paper published in 2004.

· Sleeping for <=5 hours per night leads to 39% increase in heart disease. Sleeping for <=6 hours per night leads to 18% increase in heart disease. Paper published in 2006.

Ideal Sleep

For lack of space, I cannot explain here the ideal sleep architecture. But in brief, sleep is composed of two stages: REM (Rapid Eye Movement) and non-REM. The former helps in mental consolidation while the latter helps in physical repair and rebuilding. During the night, you alternate between REM and non-REM stages 4-5 times.

The earlier part of sleep is mostly non-REM. During that period, your pituitary gland releases growth hormones that repair your body. The latter part of sleep is more and more REM type.

For you to be mentally alert during the day, the latter part of sleep is more important. No wonder when you wake up with an alarm clock after 5-6 hours of sleep, you are mentally irritable throughout the day (lack of REM sleep). And if you have slept for less than 5 hours, your body is in a complete physical mess (lack of non-REM sleep), you are tired throughout the day, moving like a zombie and your immunity is way down (I've been there, done that L)

Finally, as long-distance runners, you need an hour of extra sleep to repair the running related damage.

If you want to know if you are getting adequate sleep, take Epworth Sleepiness Test below.

Interpretation: Score of 0-9 is considered normal while 10 and above abnormal. Many a times, I have clocked 21 out the maximum possible 24, the only saving grace being the last situation, since I don't like to drive (maybe, I should ask my driver to answer that lineJ)
In conclusion:

Barring stress control, Ranjan Das did everything right: eating proper food, exercising (marathoning!), maintaining proper weight. But he missed getting proper and adequate sleep, minimum 7 hours. In my opinion, that killed him.

If you are not getting enough sleep (7 hours), you are playing with fire, even if you have low stress.

I always took pride in my ability to work 50 hours at a stretch whenever the situation warranted. But I was so spooked after seeing the scientific evidence last week that since Saturday night, I ensure I do not even set the alarm clock under 7 hours. Now, that is a nice excuse to get some more sleep. J

Unfortunately, Ranjan Das is not alone when it comes to missing sleep. Many of us are doing exactly the same, perhaps out of ignorance. Please forward this mail to as many of your colleagues as possible, especially those who might be short-changing their sleep. If we can save even one young life because of this email, I would be the happiest person on earth.

mmmm chocolate age

The math is pretty trivial but I thought you guys might enjoy the pictures of chocolate – made me hungry.

You must try this!!! its just unbelievable!!

I am not sure how or why this works but it does!
Something fun to play with for a minute or two. Nice Fun!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH


Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.


1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10 (no halves))


2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator


5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 .
If you haven't, add 1758.

6.. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.



You should have a three digit number




The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).




The next two numbers are



YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)


THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Just came back form campus just now and heard some not so nice news.
Be prepared my friends.
I heard for material engineering only
7 people got A
50 people got B
and ther rest is others.
This is bad.
Pray for the best for the result hope i can achieve better result than last semester but it wil always be a dream no matter what because this semester really sucks.

Selamat Hari Raya

Here wishing all my muslim friends a Selamat Hari Raya.

Finished with mid term

Yesterday is the last midterm paper i had. Now still have a few assignment to go and and time to study for final.

Been feeling more lazy than usual nowadays.Final is nearing but still waste a lot of time doing other things. Hope to be able to study enough for final. Study mode must be initiated. Still doing quite alot of the club matters too.

Feel unmotivated to study too. Have to do a little push and focus more.Been dazing in class more than usual too. Must wakei and pay more attention liao lor if not final really will GG lor.

Merdeka

It's yet another merdeka for MALAYSIA again. It's been many years, but it is still worth looking back and think about what we have done and should have done to make our beloved country better.

Now been stuck in front of computer thinking about doing my lab report and assignment plus studying for my final. Only around 30 days left to final examination. Been getting more worried as day goes by. No matter what must persevere and rise to the occasion.

That will be all for now. Don't rreally have much to write for my blog here. It think it is going to die soon.

Hectic week

Next week is gonna be a hectic week. 2 lab lining up and 2 exam coming also. One of the lab the lab report is long winding type.


Go go go now counting down to final exam just around 40 das to go only.
6 subject to go.
With 2 subject feeling abit hopeless.

Exposure

To learn fast we gotta involve ourselves in it. To get exposure expose ourselves. Learn alot of things yesterday when we went for the survey. Getting out of our own comfort zone is the 1st step to learning.

ramdon writing

Hmm what to write... anything that goes in my mind now....
study...??? club..???? exams..???? friendship..??? commitment..????
So many things are in my brains and all of it have to settle....Will take a lot of time to settle all of these matters lor... To grow i gotta go thought all these things. Can be said i'm having the time of my life right now.Now is the ultimate test to myself in terms of time management. Need to be more studious, be more qoekacholic for the club and be a good companion to all. Doing club also cannot neglect friends which i did for once and feel guilty about it. I'm not gonna repeat the same mistake and i must make it a point to give my best to eerything i do.

A relief for my exam today

Thought that i'll GG today for fluid mechanics today, unfortunately it's ok and i could do all the question given but forgotten a few importnat things.Now i don;t fell that hopeless anymore at least i still have the chance to do.Thanks to Suleong for teaching me today, you helped me alot especially the prism.XDD

President so what

Now people always say that I'm president of ENGSOC so what.I'm still a human like you all i do mistake and learn to handle it.I admit that i have been an ass hole for not committing to my assignment and ask others to do it.For this I'm really sorry but sometimes people do need to understand my situation. I try my best to please everyone but some people just don't understand.

I have been rough on some people but my pressure are justified.I just hope that people can prioritize and work well and happy as one family.I just want us all to work together as a family and learn something new in the way.

I do need all the support i can get to be a better person.Something criticizing have a limit.It is useless to just criticize without providing a nice solution.Sometimes i may be like that but i will do my best to restrain it.

Being quiet doesn't mean I'm vulnerable, I'm just not going to start a fight by fighting.When i say something, people better pay attention.

Sometimes I'm a little irritating but i just wanna make sure everything run smoothly.Being a leader is not easy and i know it.People criticize and scold that they are useless but to be a good leader we have to learn and adept.This is what I'm doing.I aim to be able to sustain my studies and handle the society at the same time.For now the society have taken a toll on me, did i make the right choice?? I'll just know about it later.For now i just want to be a person from all expect and i will work towards it.
