Bukan Result Biasa



Begitu banyak cerita,
Ada suka ada duka,
blajar yang ingin ku tawu ja,
Bukanlah exam semata mata
Dua keinginan beza,
Masalah pun tak sama,
Ku tak ingin diganggu,
Mengapa mereka slalu bertanya,
 
Hidup bukan di atas kertas,
cara belajarku getaran yang sama,
Tak perlu di paksa,
Tak perlu di cari,
Kerna ku yakin dgn jawabnya,
Andaiku bisa merubah semua,
Hingga tiada orang terluka,
Tapi tak mungkin ,
Ku tak berdaya,
Hanya yakin menunggu result jawabnya....
Janji JPA terikat setia,
Masa merubah segala,
Mungkin Masa kan berlalu,
Ku tak mahu mereka tertawa,
Diriku hanya insan biasa,
Miliki naluri yang sama,
Tak ingin mngulang,
Tak ingin membyr hutang,
Jiwa ku sering saja berkata
Andai ku mampu baiki semula,
Ku pasti tiada yang curiga
RESULT kau hadir 
Tiada terduga
Hanya mampu ngaga tgk jawapannya

Then masuk balik game center tuu usha2 ada x pakcik2 yg kerja kat situ. nk mintak tolong.
"encik x ko g ar tnya pakcik tuu..." kata paan n yus
"awat lak aku..." kata encik x
"ko terer nihongo" kata paan
*encik x wat muka xpuas ati kat aku...*
(monolog dlman manusia bernama farhan : " alamak encik x marah aku...abis ar..huhu")

so at last bro yus yg g tnya...aku wat dunno je..maklum la ..japanese aku takat ley kata " aishiteru, koishiteru, gomen2" gurai je..hehe...

lastday of November

Last day of November marks...

err..marks nothing..

ironically the last day of this month is the first day of the week that is Monday. Where here, I really hate Monday!
Why?

well, cuz Monday is pack with kelas til nite ( here at Japan daylight is so short ). If Tuesday or Wednesday or whatever day are packed with classes, I will hate them eventually. bla..bla...bla..I hate that I hate this.

Biasa ar manusia..sume xsuke apa yg dia dpt. cube dia xdpt nikmat tuu..baru dia nk terhegeh2.

So, IT'S NORMAL OK!

Then today after my Calculus (2) class, I straight went to the cafe to have my meal. At the counter, I get ready with 300yen to pay but that akak charge me 400yen. I was wondering what just change?
The size of the fish it more likely to be the same as usually..nahh, cant be the fish price.
then i looked at the resit yang aku pegang tu...bukan pe..ternampak je..
eh ni asal misoshiro sup ni harga dia 130yen. Usually it was like , 30yen cm2..
So aku tgk ar kat description resit tu ...

"eh ni bukan kanji babi ke?" damn!

pas makang (aku xmakan ar babi tu..aku tau pe korg pikir) aku nmpk ar sempai aku so tnya ar..ni ada babi ke?
then they said that this must be that akak kat counter tuu misprint or just her mistake that punch-in the wrong item price in my resit.

WTF!

arghh..takpe ar..aku nk cepat..so aku xmakan ar benda alah tuu..

Fukui-ken will sooner get cooler and cooler day by day.

Plus wake up every mornin' was is difficult.

Well that is all about the weather, i anonymous , report from Fukuiken Fukuishi, Japan.

watafak

Going thru the whole japanese education program seems to be interesting for the firstime. In fact from the start, meaning that before coming here; Wow that's great; this great, all those feeling grown and keep on going. but, well at least to me, I don't it suit me. maybe because of the dot dot dot writing and character make me even harder to grasp the engineering knowledge.

I like Japanese language as my extra language but not as a medium to learn engineering i guess...well maybe this is just a start for me this year. (it's already 2nd sem although *sigh*)

Today during the Sagyou class just really make my whole day worst. I'm i on the right course; Engineering? kikai in Japanese means mechanics. So should we do something more intelligent rather than duk kikis besi bulat wat bentuk hexagon? watafak.


Really tiring thou~! i mean here REALLY and REALLY. (plus dirty hands. not to mention - clothes)

I though all those work i will never had should done. It's not engineer at all. I wonder what happen if the student is a girl. haha. pretty hard huh?

maa..maybe it's just the BEGINNING like i said. hehh...

サイボーク技術

penulisan japanese aku..meh ar baca..hak3..

tajuk nye :

現在の技術は人間とコンピュータと結びつけることができるのだろうか。いま、人間の脳とコンピューターを接続することが可能になってきている。それはサイボークということである。サイボークのは具体的に人間の体が機械システム等と結びつき、一体となったシステムになる。サイボーク技術に革命が起ころうとしている。

 「このサイボーク技術は人間に対してどのような良い点があるのだろうか。私は、サイボーク技術のはただサイエンフィクション、つまり、SFの世界の話だと思ってる。しかし、最近それが現実になり始めていると聞いた。人間が様々な機械や道具を発明し、社会は大きく変化して来た。それは人間とはまったく違うモノである。人間は変更したり、修正したりすることは完全にできるわけはない。人間の肉体、それ自体はその間、まったく変わらない。とことが、サイボーク技術、つまり、機械と体。そして、神経を一体化して融合させる技術が生まれたことで、人類史上初めて人類の肉体が変わり始めたということである。近年技術者と医学が一堂に会する国際学会で、サイボーク技術に関する発表が相次いでいる。脳と機械をコンピューターで結ぶ神経工学という科学が急成長しているのだ。サイボーク技術で腕を丸ごと機械に置き換えることに成功した例もある。」

 サイボーク技術は人類に進化をもたらすであろうか。しかし、このサイボーク技術はどこまで世界中で進んでいるのか。それとも、おそらく、悪用されたら、とんでもない可能性に道を開くのだろうか。

 サイボーク技術は様々な体部分からできる。例えば、失った腕の人は本体の手を変わりに機械の手を利用できる。腕を動かす時、脳からその指令を伝える電気信号が流れる。電気信号は胸に届くと筋肉を動かす。そのとき、筋肉から出る電気信号を腕に内臓されたコンピューターが読み取るという仕組みである。そして、見るという視覚能力である。これは人間の感覚の中で、最も多くの情報を脳に運ぶ情報ハイウェイーである。目を機械に置き換え、デジタル情報処理できたら、この技術は無限の応用の可能性があるはずである。以上のような例はすべての脳の信号を利用するサイボーク技術である。

 脳は機械の合わせて進化するとは第二目である。サイボーク技術が人間の脳をどう変えると思わないのか?それは7年間前という事故があったをきっかけにある研究笠井ひろ子さんが行った。脳から出された、手を動かそうという信号は神経を通って腕の筋肉を動かす。コンピュータが表示しているには腕の筋肉が動いたときに出る電気信号である。この機械の手の最大の特徴はモノに触るとき、触ったかどうかが分かるセンサーを取り付けたことである。

 どれぐらいの力でモノをつかむのか、実際の生活では非常に重要。このシステムは多くの試みがなってから、「トレーニングしている間に、だんだん自分の手がここにあるっていう感覚強くなってきて、それが永遠になくならない状態」。

 結局にサイボークというのは脳とすべての機械が直結したものだ。アメリカは21世紀の覇権を握るため、サイボーク技術の研究に、国をあげて取り組んでいる。国防総省高等研究計画丁,通称DARPA。DARPAはサイボーク技術を使って、兵士の能力を極限にまで高めようと狙っている。DARPAが今、軍に底知れない利益をもたらすとちゅうもくしているサイボーク技術がある。脳コンピュータインターフェイス。脳とコンピュータを直結させ、考えるだけで、あらゆる機会を瞬時に動かせるという技術である。

 これまでのサイボーク技術は脳からの電気信号を体の筋肉等から拾っている。脳から直接信号を読み取るのは技術的に不可能だと考えられてきた。数千億を超えるともいわれる脳細胞があるからである。脳コンピューターインターフェイスは能からの指令となる電気信号を脳細胞から直接読み取ることに成功した。

Japanese Language intro 02

This time is about grammer, writing system , bla..bla..bla2..hehe

Grammar

Every language has a basic word order for the words in a sentence. In English, the sentence Naomi uses a computer has the order subject (Naomi), verb (uses), and object (a computer).

In the corresponding Japanese sentence, the subject comes first, just as in English, but then the object appears, followed finally by the verb: Naomi-ga (Naomi) konpyuuta-o (computer) tukau (use).

The rule of thumb in Japanese is that in a sentence, the verb comes at the end. The two word orders, subject-verb-object for English and subject-object-verb for Japanese, are both common among the languages of the world. If we look again at the Japanese sentence, we see that the subject and the object are accompanied by particles, ga with the subject "Naomi" (Naomi-ga) and o with the object "computer" (konpyuuta-o).

These are called case markers, and a large number of the world's languages have them. We can see a remnant of a case-marking system even in English: the pronouns in English change shape depending on where it occurs, he/she/they in the subject position, but him/her/them in the object position (e.g., She saw him).

If we go back in history, the older English of five hundred to one thousand years ago had an extensive case-marking system similar to modern Japanese. These case markers make it possible for the words in Japanese to appear in different orders and retain the same meaning. In the sentence we have been looking at, it is possible to place the object where the subject normally occurs, and the subject in the normal object position, and not change the meaning: konpyuuta-o Naomi-ga tukau. If we do the same thing to English, the meaning of the sentence is radically altered (The computer uses Naomi).

If we have a more complex sentence, it is still possible to change the order of all the words as long as the verb remains at the end. The sentence "Naomi gave a computer to Taro" has the subject-indirect object-object- verb basic order, Naomi-ga (Naomi) Taro-ni (to Taro) konpyuuta-o (computer) ageta (gave). This sentence has the following word order possibilities, starting with the basic order we just observed.

Naomi-ga Taro-ni konpyuuta-o ageta  (subject-indirect object-object verb)
Naomi-ga konpyuuta-o Taro-ni ageta (subject-object-indirect object verb)
Taro-ni Naomi-ga konpyuuta-o ageta (indirect object-subject-object-verb)
konpyuuta-o Naomi-ga Taro-ni ageta (object-subject-indirect object verb)
Taro-ni konpyuuta-o Naomi-ga ageta (indirect object-object-subject verb)
konpyuuta-o Taro-ni Naomi-ga ageta (object-indirect object-subject-verb)

Although the Japanese language allows a multitude of word orders, the one inflexible order is the verb, in that it must appear at the end of the sentence. This is no accident. The core element in a sentence is the verb, because the verb expresses the action or the event involving the referents of the other words. Such a core is often referred to as the "head" of a sentence or a clause, and Japanese always places the head at the end of its clause. In a noun phrase, modifiers function to modify the head, as in expensive computer, where expensive modifies the head of the phrase, computer. In Japanese, the modifier always precedes the head, as expected (takai (expensive) konpyuuta (computer)). This is not only true of simple modifiers, but for modifiers that involve an entire sentence. Note that in the English sentence the computer [that Naomi uses], the bracketed portion modifies the head computer, and this modifier follows the head. In Japanese, the head-final order is invariably followed, so that this would be expressed with the modifier preceding the head: [Naomi-ga tukau (that Naomi uses)] konpyuuta. With few exceptions, the languages of the world either follow the head-final order, just as in Japanese, or the head-initial order (for example, Indonesian). Within the same language, we might see one or the otheroption for different types of clauses, as we saw for English simple modifiers (head-final) and sentence modifiers (head-initial). Japanese is consistently head-final for all types of clauses.

The Japanese verb does not indicate number or gender. The same form for the verb is used with singular and plural subjects, and no gender distinction is made. The verb inflects for tense, negation, aspect, and mood. Following are some inflections for the verb "to push," which has the root os-.

os-u (push) present/dictionary form
os-ita (pushed) past
os-anai (not push) negation
os-ite iru (is pushing) progressive
os-e (push) imperative
os-itara (if (you) push) conditional

These forms vary depending on whether the root of the verb ends in a consonant or a vowel. While the root of the verb "to push" above is consonant-final, a verb such as "to eat" has a vowel-final root (tabe-), and it takes a slightly different shape for each of the inflections: tabe- ru (present/dictionary form), tabe-ta (past), tabe-nakatta (negation), tabe-te iru (progressive), tabe-ro (imperative), tabe-tara (conditional). In languages such as Italian and Spanish, a rich verbal inflection that indicates both number and gender often allows the speaker not to express the subject if it is understood in the context, e.g., (Juan) vio ese film ((Juan) saw that film) in Spanish. In Japanese, despite the lack of number and gender inflection on the verb, it is possible not only to leave the subject out, but any other element in the sentence except the verb, so long as it is understood in the sentence. The Japanese counterpart of the sentence "Naomi uses the computer" may be expressed simply by saying the verb tukau (use), so long as it's clear to the hearer from context that the sentence refers to Naomi and to the computer.

In Japanese, ideas often expressed in other languages with separate clauses and sentences frequently take the shape of a word, albeit a complex one. This is the agglutinative nature of the language. For example, the expression in English, Naomi was made to go purchase a more expensive computer by Mary, contains separate verbs was made, go, and purchase. In the Japanese counterpart, these verbs together form one complex verb (Japanese uses "come" for the English "go" in this context) : katte-ko-sase-rare-ta (buy-come-made-was-past). Other languages that have an agglutinative verb system include Korean, Navaho, and Turkish.

Writing System

Japanese is traditionally written vertically, with the lines starting from the right side of the page. While this way of writing is still predominant, there is another way that is identical to English in starting from the top left hand side, with each line written horizontally.

Japanese is written using two systems of orthography, Chinese characters and syllabaries. Chinese characters, or kanji, were brought in from China starting about 1,500 years ago. Prior to their introduction, Japanese was strictly a spoken language. Chinese characters are by far the more difficult system because of the sheer number of characters and the complexity both in writing and reading each character. Each character is associated with a meaning; for example, the character $B9T(B has the basic meaning "to go." There are tens of thousands of characters attested, but in 1946, the Japanese government identified 1,850 characters for daily use. In 1981, the list was increased in number to 1,945 characters, and given the name Joyo Kanji List (Kanji for Daily Use). The characters in the Daily Use List must be learned in primary and secondary schools, and newspapers generally limit the use of characters to this list. Most characters are associated with at least two readings, the native Japanese reading, and the reading that simulates the original Chinese pronunciation of the same character. If the same character came into Japan at different periods or from different dialect regions of China, the character may be associated with a multitude of Chinese readings that represent different historical periods and dialectal differences. For example, the character , "to go," has four different readings, the Japanese reading and three distinct originally Chinese readings. The second system of wriiting are syllabaries, or kana, which were developed by the Japanese from certain Chinese characters about 1,000 years ago. Each syllabary represents a syllable in the language, and, unlike Chinese characters, it represents a sound but not meaning. There are two types of syllabaries, hiragana and katakana, each containing the same set of sounds. For example, the sound "ka" in Japanese may be represented by the hiragana or the katakana , both of which were developed from the Chinese character . Hiragana is often used in combination with a Chinese character, in such a way that, for example, the character represents roughly the root of a verb, and the inflection is written with hiragana. Katakana is used to write loan words from Western languages such as English, French, and German. It is not uncommon to find kanji, hiragana, and katakana used in the same sentence. Along with Chinese characters and syllabaries, Roman alphabets are sometimes employed for such things as names of organizations. For example, companies such as Honda, Toyota, and Sony often use Roman alphabets for their name in advertisements.

Japanese Language intro 01

Introduction

The Japanese language is spoken by the approximately 120 million inhabitants of Japan, and by the Japanese living in Hawaii and on the North and South American mainlands. It is also spoken as a second language by the Chinese and the Korean people who lived under Japanese occupation earlier this century.

Characteristics of Japanese

Vocabulary

Three categories of words exist in Japanese. The native Japanese words constitute the largest category, followed by words originally borrowed from China in earlier history, and the smallest but a rapidly growing category of words borrowed in modern times from Western languages such as English. This third category also contains a small number of words that have come from other Asian languages. Studies by the National Language Institute show that the frequency of these three types of words varies according to the kinds of written material examined. In magazines, native Japanese words constitute more than half of the total words, while the Chinese borrowed words average about 40%, and the rest drawn from the recently borrowed words from Western languages. In newspapers, the words of Chinese origin number greater than the Japanese native words.

Sounds of the Language

Japanese has an open-syllable sound pattern, so that most syllables end in a vowel -- the syllable may be composed solely of the vowel.

There are five vowels, /a/, /i/, /u/, /e/, and /o/. Vowel length often distinguishes words, as in to for "door" and too for "ten." The basic consonants are: /k/, /s/, /t/, /n/, /h/, /m/, /y/, /r/, /w/, and the syllabic nasal /N/. Many of these consonants can be palatalized in front of the vowels /a/, /u/, and /o/, for example, /kya/, /kyu/, /kyo/. When the two consonants, /s/ and /t/, occur with the vowel /i/, these consonants are automatically palatalized as /shi/ and /chi/. The consonant /t/ is pronounced as /ts/ in front of the vowel /u/.

Unlike English, which has stress accent, Japanese has pitch accent, which means that after an accented syllable, the pitch falls. The word for "chopsticks," hashi, has the accent on the first syllable, so its pitch contour is ha shi. Without the accent on the first syllable, hashi may mean "bridge" or "edge." "Bridge" has accent on the second syllable, which can be seen if a grammatical particle such as the subject marker ga is attached to the word: hashi ga. "Edge" has no accent, so it would be pronounced without any fall in the pitch even with a grammatical marker such as ga.

Japanese Language intro

Before learning anything about Japanese Language why not have a look a lil about the history of Japanese language. Quite interesting I guess, because I also didnt know about it. I bet Those Japanese people also don't even know. heh!

"Through painstaking research, we now have conclusive evidence for the genetic relationships of the major languages of the world. English, along with a host of languages spoken in Europe, Russia, and India, belong to the Indo-European family of languages. In contrast, there is no conclusive evidence relating Japanese to a single family of languages. The most prominent hypothesis places Japanese in the Altaic family, which includes Turkish, Tungusic, Mongolian, and Korean, with the closest relationship to Korean. According to Roy Andrew Miller, the original Altaic language was spoken in the Transcaspian steppe country, and the speakers of this language undertook massive migrations before 2,000 B.C., spreading this language family from Turkey in the west to Japan in the east. However, this hypothesis is inconsistent with some major features of Japanese, leading some scholars to turn to the languages of the South Pacific in the Austronesian family for clues of genetic relationship. A hypothesis that has currency among a number of Japanese historical linguists is a "hybrid" theory that accepts the relationship to the Altaic family, but also hypothesizes influence from Austronesian languages possibly through heavy lexical borrowing. It is also important to note that in the northern island of Hokkaido, the Ainu people, who are physically and culturally different from the rest of the Japanese, speak a language that has even more successfully escaped attempts to relate it to a single language family.

With the introduction of the writing system from China starting about 1,500 years ago, the Japanese people began to extensively record their language through poetry and prose. The language of that era, called Old Japanese, had a number of features that have been lost through time. For example, Susumu Ono has argues that Old Japanese had eight vowels instead of the five that we see today. There were also a number of grammatical and morphological features that no longer exist. The transition from Old Japanese to Modern Japanese took place from about the twelfth century, A.D., to the sixteenth century, A.D."

In Japanese language, like other language i presume, there is also a varieties of way to speech. Or in another words is dialects and social style of speech. There are a large number of dialects throughout the four main islands and the smaller islands of Okinawa and others.

Some dialects such as those spoken in the southern parts of Japan (Kyushu, Okinawa) are virtually incomprehensible to the speakers of other dialects, requiring the use of the standard (or "common") dialect for communication.

The two dialect families with the largest number of speakers are the dialect spoken in and around Tokyo, which is equivalent to the "common" dialect, and the dialects of the Kansai region spoken in western Japan in cities such as Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe. Due to the spread of the common dialect through television and radio, most people outside the Tokyo region speak the common dialect as well as the dialect of their area.

For example I give here is from the western Japan (関西弁)
>> I don't understand
Standart Japanese Language is 分かりません (wakarimasen) but in western Japan 分からへんや(wakarahenya) something like that. ^^

Seeing things in Japan part 01

drop.drip.drup.

Today it was rainning.
I guess it is rahmat form god. But I neglect myself by saying that, cuz maybe i suffered a deep cut of despression. Nothing much for today, but just want to share about one of the culture or should i put it as 'routine' that is something normal going around them.

Yes, I focusing only around japan educations and university students.
>part-time job
>clubs activities
>VG

Only under my acknowledge, understanding and what I've seen; sorry if I've been wrong for these, but it seems to see that most of the Japanese students, neglecting putting the study in first priority these 3 things I've listed up here IS the most of the things that they put afford in it. Well I guess the part-time job could still be consider due to the Universities fees are quite expensive. I'm so lucky to get scholarships form my own country-Malaysia. I'm grateful of that. I would ever wonder forever why should these guys so into the part-time job. Parents?Can afford to pay the fees?Government?can't afford to give scholar or even a loan?Yes there are those scholarship and loan thingy, but yet I still in wonder why still into part-time job so much until neglect the studies. OK fine, maybe because the living cost here are too expensive. I've to admit it - It's true. -_-"

Club activities?

Yes, Interesting, attempting, LOTS of friends(girlfriends I presume ^^) 勘弁してくれよ!どっちか必要か?考えてみて

No, Not that I'm here saying that DON'T, but it just you are too into it. Every week and can't take a leave even for once, or else you are suspended form it. Exam week? Don't give a shit. -_-"
Due to that homeworks, assignment and even revisions are not able to be done. In class ALWAYS asleep for most of them I guess. Well if you don't understand there's no point I guess.^^
Well I'm not provoking or saying its bad. It just went something you do it to much especially went it is not nessesary it will end up nothing good.

VG?
Whats VG? well it is just a short form for Video games. During classes or Lectures those who sit at the back not only can simple ignore the lecturers but they even play Nitendo DS, PSP and even cards. OMG! unbelieveable. Well maybe they are all smarty pants. hehh~

Why study in Japan?

Why study in Japan?
With so many obstacles I have to face, yet I would not regret about my choice studying here in Japan.

Lets start with a story ^^

I never consider that I will be furthering my studies in Japan when I was younger. It is only can be unexpected to me when I thought about it now. When I was in my Form 4, I had a friend, very closed. We studied together throughout those SPM days. We kept the dream to countinue studies in Japan. The things that made we really want to study in Japan for Engineering is because the technologies that the Japanese had achieved very well. Futhermore we really love anime and Japanese games especially. There are the best ^^ So after my SPM, I continue study my 2 years preparation to go to Japan.

Well it may be tough for the first time studying another language especially with those weirdo and haywire writing character. Haha…I might laugh, but those times I nearly had a mental break down. But with patient and Thanks to my parents who have supported me I had finally HERE in University of Fukui.

So why?

Studying in Japan

More than 100,000 international students are currently studying at universities, junior colleges, professional schools and other educational institutions in Japan. Their number has been increasing rapidly since the 1980s, with two thirds of the students coming from China.

Language Schools

Japanese language schools exist in many cities across Japan, ranging from informal conversation schools to government recognized institutions that offer preparatory courses for students to enroll at universities.

There are language schools for all proficiency levels, and courses of different durations from just a few weeks to more than one year.

Universities

The Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) is a standard examination in existence since 2002, simplifying the process of admission to Japanese universities for international students.

The examination covers the Japanese language, science, mathematics, Japan and the World and is held biannually in Japan and selected cities outside of Japan. The examination can be written in Japanese or English (except the section on Japanese language; some testing sites don't offer tests in English).

Almost all national universities, about two thirds of the public universities and roughly half of the private universities use the EJU as admission criteria for international students, while the others apply their own entrance exams.

Naturally, most university courses in Japan are only available in Japanese, although quite a few universities offer one or more English courses at a master's and/or doctoral level. Only a handful of universities offer English courses on the undergraduate (bachelor) level.

Scholarships and Exchange Programs

Scholarship programs for international students are provided by the Japanese government, local governments, the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) and private organizations, foundations and companies in Japan and abroad.

Likewise, there are various governmental bodies, organizations and educational institutions inside and outside of Japan that offer short term exchange programs for secondary and post secondary students to study in Japan and experience life in Japan.
