Assalamulaikum
wrt wbt and hi!
Wahhh, I have
another 1 week for MIS750 (4 days to be specific). We had our test last Saturday, 21st
November 2015 and our final exam (assessment) will be held this coming
Saturday, 28th November 2015. All the best to kawan-kawan MBA UiTM
(KPTM in-house program), TERUSKAN BERSEMANGAT!!! Honestly, I like the idea of
reciting dua’ before we start the test just like we did last Saturday. After we
strive for the best (dalam kesibukan untuk tanggungjawab yg lain….), to Allah jua
we surrender.
Emmm. I want
to share about my experience with technology, or technology that are close to
me. Well, I did mention earlier
that I am a technology illiterate. You’ll agree with me, I guarantee. Hehe..
1) Car
The technology of
car started since 1886 when the first motor car was invented by Karl Benz. He
was a mechanical engineer from Germany and the origins of Mercedes-Benz car was
his! I found The History of Cars, that visualized car’s history in
an interesting manner.
The first
Malaysia car, named as Proton Saga was produced by Proton in 1985. Later, Perusahaan
Otomobil Kedua Sdn. Bhd. (Perodua) was established in 1992 that focused on
manufacturing of compact cars. In 2007, Perodua produced it 7th
model that was Viva. My Viva La Vida is using Dynamic Variable Valve Timing (DVVT)
engines, the jointly develop technology by Toyota and Daihatsu. Based on my reading from the page of Perodua Viva Club (VIVAC), as posted by Hyuga, if driving Viva in a straight line, after reaching 3000rpm we can
feel the car will move faster even if we didn't accelerate. It is because, the
timing of the engine will activate because we want more power and it made the
engine runs faster. But, when we don’t need extra power like driving in the
city, the timing of the engine will be activated to limit the output power of
the engine. That is the beauty of DVVT technology, a comprehensive engine
control system that allows us to do things a lot better. For examples to overtake
other cars faster and more safely, and less effort to climb hills. DVVT is also
fuel economical and environmental friendly. Go greenla ni.. hehe.

2) Spectacles
I started wearing spectacles when I was 13. Since than, I have
changed spectacle for 4 times, and the last time I did was 3 years ago. I never
bought spectacles from other optical store except Focus Point (loyal
sgt.....kn?).

| My mata... hati, jiwa. |
According to Museum of Vision, the technology
of spectacle believed to be started in Italy, between 1268 to 1289. Only later, when
we were being introduced with contact-lens but you’ll be surprised by the fact
that contact-lens were first manufactured in 1887! Since than, the rapid
development of contact-lens technology resulted to the introduction of
electronic contact lenses that could display information to the
wearer and provide continuous medical monitoring. The post entitle Contact Lens Computer: Like Google Glass Without the Glassess provide details about the technology if you are interested.. Wahhhhhhh........ I am so impressed (ok, the 1st time I wore contact lenses was
during my engagement, the last time I wore it was during my wedding
receptions...I am not planning to wear it again...so far)!!!
Have you heard about Prof. Muhaya and her Lasik Centre...? Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) can be considered as the permanent alternatives to spectacles or contact lenses. The LASIK surgery, known as laser eye surgery or laser vision correction, is performed by using a laser or microkeratome to reshape the eye's cornea in order to improve visual acuity. In Malaysia, LASIK surgery offered by KPJ Center for Sight, Prince Court Medical Centre and Vista Eye Specialist (just to mentioned some..). Oooo, say NO to spectacles ye..? Tapi.. I always feel that those with spectacles looks genius. So, I’ll stick to that... Ehem!
3) Mobile phone.
Haaa...
This device is litle bit lagendary. Hahaha! I bought my 1st mobile phone in
2002, Nokia 3330 and I used it for 10 years! It cost me about RM800 during that
time. The network technology for Nokia 3330 is Global System for Mobile
communications (GSM). GSM is a digital mobile telephony system that supports
voice calls and data transfer speeds up to 9.6 kbps, together with the
transmission of Short Message Service (SMS). ‘You have no space for a new
message’ is the most common message appear on my Nokia 3330 screen. My most incredible
experince with Nokia 3330, there was one time that the phone slipped from my
hand. But.... I can still continue the conversation when I picked up the phone
at the ground from level three. Hebatkan...?
Only in early 2012, I changed (kerana terpaksa
kurelakan...hehe) to Samsung Galaxy Young when my Nokia 3330 was not functioning well anymore
(that was the time when my ibu fallen ill too...). Samsung Young was introduced
in October 2011 with the technology of GSM and HSPA. HSPA supports the very
efficient provision of voice services in combination with mobile broadband data
services. Based on my reading on Advantages and Disadvantages Samsung Galaxy Y, the
end-user can expect to enjoy data throughout speeds of at least 1Mbps. Don’t be surprised that, Samsung Galaxy Young stays with me until now...... which
currently having a problem to update WhatsApp. 'This version of WhatsApp became
obsolete'..bla, bla, bla. Tapi bila nak update... 'This device doesn’t have
enough space to download'.. bla, bla, bla. Haa.. Ni semua tanda-tanda la ni.
Huhu.. Tp changing phone is definitely not my priority (at least not now....). Ok, bye!

4) Online Transaction
Until today.......
I never buy goods online.
I never book ticket online.
I never book hotel online.
The 1st time I did online
banking transaction was in August 2015. Unbelievable? Believe it! And, that was
only because I was married and En. Syg will send and fetch me everyday (can you
see the restriction...?), well we just wanted to be home early after a tiring
day of working. Do you know what is the 1st bank in Malaysia that provides online banking
for customer convenience? Yesssss, you are absolutely right. It was Maybank,
with the introduction of Maybank2u, back in 2000. You may read Maybank Launches Country's First Internet Financial Portal for better understanding about Maybank’s history on
on-line financial portal. Currently, we have CIMB Clicks and Bank Islam Internet Banking (just to mentioned some..). I admit that online banking benefits me in
term of settling my La Vida installment and other bills... Pantas dan tuntas,
alhamdulillah....

Oklah, Part 1: Aida vs. Technology ni to
be continued..... till then.
Dear readers, many thanks!
