Facebook, connecting people

With help of IT, i discovered new people that  be my new best friends.

honestly, being in all Malay school since in the primary school make me have a weird perception towards the non-malays. Even in secondary, we all have Malays.

however, when i started join the social networking, i have widen my communication with help of this IT-things

and now, i must say that, Facebook have made me gone crazy to go online, at least once a day :D

i know some people must say that, how this youngster can very addicted to go online with Facebook - and err maybe some of you think it annoying.

but it's my way in connecting people *FB's slogan.haha

i have been in boarding school since i am in form one. and most of my friends are scattered all over Malaysia, - and now, all over the world as some of the lucky bloods studying in oversea. and with FB, we contacted each other, gossiping *yeah, the all-girls school are really love doing that.haha, and also updating with others.

with FB also, i can connect with people around me, that maybe i only met them once for the time being. just like

my very first Indian friend;

erk, Shah Rukh's twin ha? :D

this is Sathiyaraj Subramaniam, a doctor-to-be. I met him in 2009 during my school's SPM History Workshop, an annual twinning program with his school, Royal Military College. 

He's my partner in this workshop and what i remembered about him is how he is very excited to share with me about the workshop.

and, that was the last time i met him.

and now, we are still meet, with FB ;)

  

Sathiya, please do bring me some souvenirs when you come back from Russia soon, okay? *i had promoting you in my blog already.haha

and also, my very first Chinese friend,

This is Ying. I met her during the 1st Malaysia Rainforest Scouts Challenge in Royal Belum early June this year. she told me to call her Ying, but instead i call her Ying Ying, refering to the lady-in-waiting in Merong Mahawangsa. she is very kind and sometime shy. but if you know her well, she can be verryyy talkative.haha

FB not only let us updating each other story, but i also learn some simple mandarin from her as this semester i have to learn Mandarin I. 

and lastly, with Facebook, i am able to find my long-lost-classmates

Thankyou Mark Zuckerberg for this awesome websites ♥

Blog blog blogging

I have started blogging last two years and half ago. 

at first, i created a blog just want to become up to date, seeing people around me blogging and spill out their thoughts on blog, that urged me to write.

Now, my two and half years old blog;

www.cheekymonk.blogspot.com

at first, my blog was just functioning as the medium where i wrote poems, *yeah, i was once a poet. haha and also to spill how tension i was to be in one of the popular boarding school in Malaysia.

time to time pass, and i am growing more matured taught me how i should share my opinions, my prinsips with the little help of this technology. Now, this blog consist of my social life, opinions, friendship and family.

I also have favourite bloggers such as;

Maria Elena

Yana Petisuara

Cik Epal

most of them are hijab sisters and i really appreciate them how they can be very pretty and creative with hijab:) they also make business online and video-logging that very help me to know the outside world - and err of course, online shopping !

and not to forget my favourite all the time art blog;

contengconteng

he has a very raw art comic with just sticky notes, crumpled paper that remind me of my childhood :)

and i dont have to waste my time to search for a comics that rarely seen in Seri Iskandar -.-'

yes, they have. but only feww =.=

see how technology help me to take me out for a while from study and study all over again?

it okay to be nerd or even geeky, but please, be beauty inside out :)

err..AM? FM?

It's always pass by in my mind. the AM radio? the FM radio? err -.- i really not sure.

since i always heard that we have Hitz.fm, Era fm and Hot fm. but rarely heard about AM radio.

According to thedifferencesbetween.net, *click for extra info :)

"AM is the older an easier of the two technologies to implement. The receiver detects the changes in the carrier frequency’s amplitude and amplifies it to drive a speaker. The simplicity of the technology made it easy to build radio receivers in great quantities. The main problem associated with AM broadcasting is the fact that it is very susceptible to various weather conditions that deteriorate and distort the signal. The simplicity of the design also limits the broadcast to a single audio channel, making it inadequate for stereo sound."

"FM is a development over AM broadcasting and it provides a lot of substantial benefits thus it is much more complex compared to AM. The first and most substantial benefit is its ability to send out two channels of information at the same time with the use of advanced algorithms. This allows the station to broadcast left and right audio channels for full stereo sound. Since most environmental factors that distort radio waves only affect its amplitude and not the frequency where FM stores the actual voice signal, the data in the FM signal doesn’t degrade as easily as AM. This also means that FM signal quality doesn’t degrade linearly as you get further from the transmitting station."

it can be summaries that;

1. AM broadcasting is simpler than FM but the difference in complexity and price are very marginal at present.
2. AM is more prone to signal distortion and degradation compared to FM.
3. FM doesn’t degrade linearly with distance.
4. AM usually broadcasts in mono which makes it sufficient for talk radio.
5. FM can transmit in stereo making it ideal for music.
6. AM has a longer range than FM

Now, i really understand why my most-of-the-time-favourite-radio-station, Hitz.fm has 'fm' at the back.

One of the rarely heard about AM radio is Voice of Malaysia  station owned by RTM.The main target of Voice of Malaysia is to portray to an overseas audience true images of Malaysia, from the perspective of the political and social benefit and to encourage foreign investment in Malaysia. It also airs local art, crafts, customs, culture and festivals to encourage people to travel to Malaysia.


that is means, AM radio has the longer waves that can be transmitted most of the countries in the world. 


by the way, lets enjoy one of the parody made by my favourite Hitz FM Morning Crewww :D

anyway, tomorrow is monday. haha :)

Radio, the memorabilia.

From time to time, the development of radio stations become highly increased all over the world.

and from early years, people connected with the help of radio.

remember the earliest used of radio during Japanese colonization in Malaya once upon a time?

radio was used as connecting tools on what happen in Malaya,  and that is why the Japanese did not allowed any of the people to have the radio because the radio is not only used to report their enormity,  but also to develop the patriotism among the people on that despondency days.

and in Malaysia, the very first radio broadcasting started during 1921. *click for the history :)

ehem, i am not to mumble about patriotism now, even we are in the Raya Merdeka mood.ehehe

i am inspired to tell my lovely readers facts on radio as i heard this one really fantastic-love-story with the radio, and of course with the help of radio station :p

here how the lovely-love-story begin;




"This man has a deep love toward the radio. especially slots when they can be friends among the listeners. During that days, when there is no facebook and the sms is only for the richest guys, these young people knowing each other by post a letter or maybe letters to the radio stations and let the deejay tell others what is their greeting on the letters. if any of the listeners want to know them privately, they will jotted down the address, and ahh, few weeks later, the blue-perfumed-paper will arrived, especially for the lucky blood.
He enjoyed the slots like seriously. and one day, when he heard the deejay read a letter from a girl stayed far in north of Perak, his heart started beating fast and his hand jotting down the address, and remember the lucky girl's name deep in his heart. and oh yeah, the rest is history.."

"After 20 years, they now have three lovely-beautiful princess and live happily in the house which he called Our Home, Our Heaven."

Him and his lucky girl :)

Do you see how the radio, which is among the earliest technology connected people. Even from strangers, and now what we call soul-mates ♥

by the way, 

He in this story is my dad, 

and the lucky-girl is my beloved, gorgeous mama :)
