Cargas Margas Camping Trip

Salammmm 1 Malaysia

Sebenarnya dah lama nak post pasal benda ni, tapi oleh kerana kesibukan mendadak sebaik sahaja balik dari trip ni sampai lah sekarang jadi lambatlah post ni dipost di sini. wehiuu..

18 - 20 Februari lalu satu lagi camping trip anjuran bekas supervisor praktikel aku, Encik Elisa Mohd Isa atau lebih dikenali dengan nama 'Abang El' telah dianjurkan dan kali ini bertempat di Teluk Segadas, Pulau Pangkor. Ini dah kali ke-2 aku mengikuti camping anjuran Abg El ni selepas camping Kaki Rantau yang dia anjurkan 2 tahun lepas di Pulau Tinggi, Johor. Seperti biasa, camping Abg El memang tak pernah menghampakan. Dari segi aktiviti, makanan, tempat tidur, hiburan, semuanya tersusun rapi dan mantopp! haha

Seramai 11 orang attend camping ni, 3 orang datang lambat gila sabtu petang tu baru sampai. Aktiviti yang kitorang buat kebanyakannya seperti di Pulau Tinggi dulu. Mandi laut, snorkeling, fish feeding barbeque dan sebagainya. Yang lainnya camping dulu dengan yang ni, kitorang dapat naik jetski! Abang El tu 'extreme' sikit orangnya, dia boleh beli jetski sendiri pulak. Jetski tu pun bukan jenis yang biasa sewa kat tepi-tepi laut tu. Dia cakap jetski yg dia beli tu untuk long distance riding so speed dia lagi tinggi, lagi laju dan lagi gila lah cara dia bawak. Haha. Tapi untunglah kat kitorang, dapat jugak merasa naik menatang tu :p

Kelengkapan camping. dalam kotak tu semua makanan :D

Naik bot dari Marina Cove, Teluk Batik. Dah macam pelarian daa.. :p

Lagi satu, bezanya camping anjuran para-para student dengan mereka yang dah bekerja dan bekerjaya ni, bekalan makanan memang tip-top dan berlebih-lebihan! Barbeque sahaja makanan-makanan dia dah mewah. Malam 1st, barbeque sotong, udang, ikan yang mantopp. Malam 2nd, barbeque ayam yang lagi mantopp! Semua makanan tu banyak lebih. Aku dengan member aku Zahir je la yang jadi tukang habiskan. Best gila. Haha.

My shot of the event: Abg El with his jetsky ;)

Snorkeling dan Fish Feeding Lagi! Naik jetskwi dengan si pemandu extreme :p Model-model series baywatch, takpun Hawaii Five-0 :p

Secara keseluruhannya, camping ni memang best. Best gila! Next time kalau ada lagi memang nak join. Sesiapa nak join pun amatlah dialu-alukan. Betul..tak tipu..hehehe.

Perihal Event, Bola dan Uni

It was just 3 weeks of new semester but lots of assignments and presentations has been given to us as it was already in the middle of semester. duhh. haa. neverlytheless, everything is going on okay so far.

Shout Awards last Friday was fun. The performance was entertaining, the crowd was superb and the show was done smoothly. And the best part is I was a crew of the event that night! Haha. It was for free, no payment was given to me for working that night but I dont know why I love working for event like that. Maybe because for me I think not everybody got a opportunity to work in such of environment like that, you know the broadcasting environment where what you're working for will be seen or watched by millions of people whether at the stadium itself or on television. Not by IT people atleast. Plus, hey I got a chance to be a photographer on that night. Hee I am glad photos i've taken are at Shout Awards website. Ade jugak contribution :)

The next day. It was Neko's Engagement Day. First of all, congratulations to both of you and family! :) Sorry2 I couldn't make it, dah ade janji dengan rakan nak pergi tengok bola. Dah janji awal2 ><... It was Malaysia XI vs Man Utd. Already bought the tickets about a month ago and hell yeah there goes my RM68. Hee. Nevermind, nice game that day. The game ended 2-3 with a victory to Man Utd. Malaysian team was not bad, the passing, ball control and confidence level have improved a lot since last time I watched they played, if I'm not mistaken the one they were beaten by Vietnam where the bloody goalkeeper did a silly, unacceptable mistake, that leads to the victory of the Vietnam team. geh.

Degree. Ntahla so far ok la kot. Ade jugak subjek yang still tengah blur2 tapi macam dah makin nampak. But I dont know recently I have I feeling..I feel like changing my course. I dont know. Truth to say, I was hoping for Network course before the result came out. Kind of interestes in Network, because Networking course involves more in technical stuffs rather than reading2 stuffs. But then dapat ISE, bedal je la. 1 je benda yang amat dirisaukan, boleh ke aku bawak course ni? hmm..but then 1 side of me was thinking, mesti ada hikmahnya kenapa dapat course ISE ni. And even if I want to change course, I would have to wait for next semester to do so and I must start from the beginning. It's like I will be wasting 1 semester though. Cam bazir je. Takpe, bak kata ade sorang senior I ni (tapi dia budak network), try dulu 1 sem dgn ISE ni. Kalau result ok, teruskan je. Yeh ;)

Tomorrow got perjumpaan with the DEAN. She wants to meet all new students from our faculty. Saturday got a UiTM program called Program Pemantapan Wawasan at Intec. It is compulsory to new students like us. Ada qiamullail lagi pule. Ahad ada familyday fakulti pule. Weekend ke ape ni, next week ade 2 presentation kot o.o

hee

till then ;D

UiTM Perak Homecoming & AIM16

It's 7.50pm and i'm still at the office! Dahhh. hahaha. It's not that i x suka balik rumah or what. It's just..i am used to it since my school time. Abis skolah dulu 1.45pm tp balik around 5pm almost everyday. Buat ape? Kat mane? I was a president of this editorial board at school name Garudamas and there was my favourite place to be everyday after school. Buat keje oh :D haha xpun pegi dating. Cheh, cerita lamaaa...

Last week on Wednesday me and couple of friends went to our beloved UiTM Perak, to enjoy ourselves after 4months doing our practical training, to visit our beloved friends there and to watch the fellow friends doing their practical presentation. Haa bila sampai je UiTM memang rasa gumbira sangat. Jumpa kawan2 lagi. Perasaan yang sungguh x dapat dibayangkan. Haha best oh. Bila lagi nak pegi uitm perak tu. Sampai2 rehat jap + makan then keluar pegi fakulti kitorang FSKM (formerly known as FTMSK). Lepas tu gerak gi Fakulti AD, ada student fest. Malam keluar dengan rakan2 lepak ipoh. Haha ipoh tak berubah sangat. Cuma kali ni kalau pergi jusco ipoh parking dah x free dah!!! Ipoh parade parking dulu RM1 skarang RM1.50!!! Cuci kereta dulu rm3 skarang rm4!!! Haha. Ape ni, semua naik. Dah r menteri besar ade 2! Hahaha...Tengok wayang, si koo-choo-koo-koo wolverin. Tiket wayang x naik pulak kan. hahaha. best2. Pastu gerak pergi kedai mamak vengae tengok bola.

From that homecoming i can say that there's not much change in uitm. Bangunan, landskap semua sama. Lecturer ade la berubah sket. Miss Aizura and pn ana salwa dah pindah. Students pun ade gak perubahan. Esah part 4 is now 1 of the MPP people, couple dgn fatin. Azfar dan Ecah.
Ade la lagi..hahaha.

Here are some pictures from the silver campus:

ala2 arshavin..hee

AIM16. Kemuncak segala-galanya. Haha this time around i've been incharge to be a photographer for gua.com.my! I've been assigned for it with 3 other pro photographer. And my job is not just to be a photographer, but also a runner to get each everyone of the other 3 photographers' card during every commercial break. Tired, but fun. I really enjoyed it. And what makes me feel happier is that some of my photo were actually get chosen to be published on gua.com.my website. hee. walaupun pakai kit lense je..hehe :p Hope will be able to add equipments for my camera real soon, and hope they will call me to be a photography for other event too!

Photography is fun but my priority is still on my computer science skills. Still working on my ads System. It's getting tougher and tougher though. Kali ni kitorang kena main dengan oracle database, to compare the existing ads that available in new media's database with the one that belongs to the database that is always been updated with new and new ads. The reason is to recognise that new ads so people from new media know which are new ads and which are not. So..yang mempayahkan kitorang ialah nak cari camne nak buat process2 trigger and scheduler and procedure kat database tu. So far dah try kat google but still blum dapat. Nevermind, will try working on it tomorrow. Haih.

Tak berapa sihat. Sakit tekak, demam sket, batuk2 and selsema sket. Tapi main bola gak tadi. heee :p

till then ;D

Hot FM Big Jam 2009

Di mana adanya event yang memerlukan khidmat live streaming, di situ adanya kami. Haaa! Seterusnya kitorang ke Johor Bahru bersempena HotFM Big Jam 2009 yang berlangsung pada 1 Mac 2009 di tempat letak kereta Festive Street Mall, Danga Bay.

Bertolak ke JB sehari sebelum event tu, iaitu pada hari Sabtu 28 Februari (birthday liana) haa. Our ‘boss’ Mr.Elisa dah gerak awal dan dah ada kat sana dah pun. Kitorang berkumpul di Sri Pentas jam 9pagi. Yang bestnya kitorang naik bas skali dengan artis plak. Terus kena ‘chop’ sebagai band ‘The Streaming’ hahaha. Perjalanan mengambil masa 6 jam termasuk berhenti makan dan sebagainya. Kitorang memang banyak tidur je la kat dalam bas tu, rehat cukup – cukup coz lepas ni kena kerja sehari suntuk untuk 2 hari.

Tiba di Danga Bay jam 3ptg. Sampai – sampai bukannya pergi hotel check in dulu tapi terus buat kerja. Masuk ke kanopi kitorang dan terus bukak video toaster, pasang laptop, set up and test streaming. Artis pulak ada sound check so sambil-sambil diorang perform kat atas stage tu kitorang test la streaming. Ada problem plak la time nak set up streaming tu. Internet yang kitorang langgan dari Maxis tak boleh buat connection plak 1 hari tu. Nasib baik ada backup Internet dari IPSAT. But still memang kena pakai 2 connection, 1 untuk streaming dan 1 lagi untuk upload content kat web. Cable dari OB plak tak boleh nak keluarkan output ke video toaster. Audio pulak tak keluar. Macam-macam lah dugaan time tu. Haaaa. Sehari suntuk tu try solve problem-problem tu. Berkat kesabaran dan ketekunan kitorang akhirnya dapat jugak la selesaikan masalah-masalah berkaitan. Cuma yang tang Maxis tu je still belum ok lagi coz memerlukan orang dari Maxis tu sendiri untuk datang check and betulkan apa-apa yang patut kat situ.

Habis sound check kitorang pun pack barang dan chow. Sebelum gerak pergi hotel singgah la festive street mall tu. Boleh tahan la, ala-ala batu feringghi tapi kureng sket sebab barang-barang dia mahal. Air kelapa dia pun rasa semacam je. Tanye member dia cakap tu air kelapa selat tebrau, sebab tu lain. Boleh plak macam tu. Habis jalan-jalan kitorang pun gerak ke hotel kitorang, The Grand Paragon Hotel. On the way ke hotel kitorang round JB dulu. Dapatlah tengok Singapore dari JB tapi gelapkan bukannya nampak sangat dan Singapore yang mengadap JB bukannya ada apa pun. Sampai hotel aku dan Zahir terpegun jap tengok bilik yang kitorang dapat. Besar gak la siap katil sorang satu lagi. Haaaaa. Penat punya pasal balik tu lepas mandi terus tidur.


Keesokannya awal pagi dah bangun. Pergi breakfast dan lepas tu terus gerak ke Danga Bay. Maxis punya problem tu still belum settle lagi coz orang dia belum sampai. Lepas dah set up balik streaming kerja kitorang ialah kena tunggu je la sampai pukul 4 sebab konsert start petang. So kitorang banyak la masa lapang dan waktu itu aku gunakan untuk berjalan-jalan ambil gambar. Nasib baik ada tag ‘crew’ so boleh access ke mana-mana, tiada gangguan daripada security. Petang tu konsert start. Yang Maxis punya hal tu tak dapat settle sepenuhnya so terpaksa lah share Internet connection dari IPSAT tu. Kitorang buat kerja secara rotate so boleh la gilir-gilir pegi tengok konsert kat depan. Petang tu hujan lebat plak tapi orang-orang JB yang datang tengok tak berganjak pun tetap stay kat situ sampai lah ke malam. Time malam aku banyak lari pegi amek gambar kat depan sebab malam banyak artis-artis best perform. Habis Meet Uncle Hussain perform maka berakhirlah HotFM Big Jam 2009. Kitorang pack semua barang-barang streaming, hantar ke lori dan kemudiannya chow balik ke Hotel. Penat kaw-kaw sampai after party pun tak pergi.

Esok tu macam biasa bangun pagi, pergi breakfast dan get ready untuk pulang ke KL. Bertolak jam 11pagi dan tiba di Sri Pentas jam 4petang. Secara keseluruhannya HotFM Big Jam 2009 memang seronok. Dapat pergi JB, jumpa dan berkenalan dengan ramai artis, makan free, hotel free, jalan-jalan free, streaming berjalan lancar. Best lah. Artis pun sempoi macam Lotter dan Aizat siap lepak dengan kitorang lagi, dalam bas buat lawak la. Overall memang best.

One FM Live Concert 2009

The next task: set up live streaming for One FM Live Concert.

Date: 14 Feb 2009 8.00pm – 10.30pm
Venue: Main Road, Sg Wang Plaza

The work started 2 weeks before the actual event date, which was on February 4th 2009 when some of the crew went to the Sg Wang for a recce. The reason for that reece is to know what exactly we need to do and the equipments we needed during the event. Our job on that event is to set up the live streaming video on the web.


1 day before the event the New Media team sent the video toaster and the streaming box to the team that is in charged for the equipment transportation. On Saturday we arrived at the event venue at 8.00am. The truck that brought our equipments arrived about an hour later. Once we get the equipments we brought it to our canopy and later performed the set up of the live streaming.

Our work on that day was not too hard and too busy to do compared to our previous event which was the Anugerah Juara Lagu ke-23 (AJL-23) because the streaming was working smoothly without any single problem and there is no commercial break during the event so we does not have to frequently switch the video during the commercial break like the one we did during the AJL-23. The live concert was held smoothly.

After the concert ends we straight away packed our things, cleaned up the canopy, rolled up the cables that we have used and sent the video toaster and streaming box to the truck. The equipments were headed back to Sri Pentas. The work ends around 12am on that day.

Overall the work progress was done superbly and thanks to Mr. Elisa and few New Media crew the set up of the live streaming for the One FM Live Concert has been done appropriately without any flaw and the streaming has been working smoothly.

Anugerah Juara Lagu ke-23

On January, me and few other people from Media Prima has been given task to set up and run the Live Online Video Streaming for Anugerah Juara Lagu ke-23 (AJL-23) which will be held at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil on 18 January 2009. The team was consist of me, Zahir, our mentor Mr. Elisa and few other member from New Media.





The crew begin their first task for the AJL-23 on 16 January 2009 with setting up the New Media room at the Stadium. These include setting up the Internet connection, get the cable from the control room, and drag the cable from the New Media room to the Red Carpet Area and others. Then the team run the test of switching and streaming the video live during the AJL-23 Dry Run Rehearsal, which was held on that night.

Same task was been done the next day, which was running the streaming for testing during the dry run and rehearsal. But in addition on that day was that there were more team member from New Media that 'turun padang' and with only two weeks i've been working with Media Prima this is the chance for me to get to know with them. I was also get the chance to watch how the rehearsal was held and watch some team from New Media doing the interviews with the AJL-23 finalists. The videos of the interview are then edited were uploaded on the web. The job was done smoothly and proffessionally by each one of them.

On Sunday, the system check is been done by the team members to make sure that the systems will run smoothly and to make sure there will be no problem occurred during the event. On that night, the team start their live video streaming by displaying the live video from Red Carpet in front of Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil entrance where artists and VIP will walk their way into the stadium through the red carpet. Later when the event started, the team control the live streaming and make sure that the video is switched every time during the commercial break from AJL-23 show to other video such as AJL-23 promo video to avoid user from other country to be able to watch the commercial video. According to Elisa, the commercial videos are not supposed to be showed to user from other country because the company of the commercial brand pays to broadcast their product/company to Malaysia only. The work was done approppriately throughout the event. The team then dismantled and packed the stuffs they have used and went home. haaa





Overall the work progress was done appropriately even though there were some problem occurred during the event. Both video toaster computer and dell laptop were having errors in their system during both the red carpet and the early start of the AJL-23 show that forced both the computers to be restarted automatically. These caused the live online streaming system unable to run smoothly at some time during the event. The team members have been doing anything they can to find the cause of the problem and fortunately they managed to solve it. As this was my first time experiencing this such of big event, i was so happy to be part of the team. A lot of thing I have learned from this event such as how to set up the video streaming, overcoming problems bla bla bla. haaaa :D
