A dark day indeed........

salam & hi.....

Today, will be a gloomy day (supposedly) for all UKM staffs and students...For those that don't know (and those that knew) we've lost our Canselor, Almarhum Tuanku Ja'far Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

His highness passed away this morning at 11.45am at Hospital Tuanku Jaafar Seremban and was reported to be due to stroke (i believe it was intracerebral hemorrhage coz he complained of headache & without no obvious neurological deficit)..

Nevertheless, my condolences goes to the family of his highness and also to all people of Negeri Sembilan, the state will be mourning for 40 days if i'm not mistaken..

Al-Fatihah...

A really 'mathematical' poem

Salam & hi...

I just want to share with all of you this funny poem that i found as i was watching the movie, "Harold & Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay" (it's a nice movie but i wouldn't recommend it to sumone less than 18 y/o)..
It's a funny poem but the meaning of it is really deep (it's not that hard to understand)..
i guess this is what happened when you ask a mathematician to write a poem,haha..
Enjoy!

+----- Square-root Three -----+

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

A three is all that's good and right
Why must my three keep out of sight?
Beneath a vicious square-root sign?
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick
With just some quick arithmetic

I know I'll never see the sun
As 1.7321
Such is my reality
A sad irrationality

When, hark, just what is this I see
Another square-root of a three

Has quietly come waltzing by
Together we now multiply
To form a number we prefer
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square-root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed

+--------------------+

What do you think? Nice isn't it?
Now for some quick announcement:

1. I would like to say Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to all muslims especially to my medic friends in UKM; Hopefully the sacrifices that we've made (and will make) so far as we tread down this medical road is accepted, InsyaAllah...

2. This friday (12/12/08) there will NOT be any common lecture! Next friday (19/12/08) however, there IS, the title, "Research on Human & Animal Subjects" by Dr. Noor Azimah Muhammad, 4.00 - 5.00 pm at auditorium.

3. Ayah kepada sahabat kita, Marlina baru sahaja meninggal dunia tengahari tadi. Mari kita sama2 sedekahkan Al-fatihah & doakan moga roh allayarham dicucuri rahmat & digolongkan dalam golongan orang2 yang soleh. Al-fatihah..

Well, that's all folks, the next update will be coming if i ever have any new announcement to make, thank you.
