[RE-WIND 2011][#1] Japan Earthquake & Tsunami [Part 1]

11 March - Japan's most powerful earthquake since records began has struck the north-east coast, triggering a massive tsunami.

Cars, ships and buildings were swept away by a wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude tremor, which struck about 400km (250 miles) north-east of Tokyo. A state of emergency has been declared at a nuclear power plant, where pressure has exceeded normal levels. Officials say 350 people are dead and about 500 missing, but it is feared the final death toll will be much higher. In one ward alone in Sendai, a port city in Miyagi prefecture, 200 to 300 bodies were found. The quake was the fifth-largest in the world since 1900 and nearly 8,000 times stronger than the one which devastated Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, said scientists. Thousands of people living near the Fukushima nuclear power plant have been ordered to evacuate.

Japanese nuclear officials said pressure inside a boiling water reactor at the plant was running much higher than normal after the cooling system failed. Officials said they might need to deliberately release some radioactive steam to relieve pressure, but that there would be no health risk. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had earlier said the US Air Force had flown emergency coolant to the site. But US officials later said no coolant had been handed over because the Japanese had decided to handle the situation themselves. The UN's nuclear agency said four nuclear power plants had shut down safely. Measured at 8.9 by the US Geological Survey, it struck at 1446 local time (0546 GMT) at a depth of about 24km. The tsunami rolled across the Pacific at 800km/h (500mph) - as fast as a jetliner - before hitting Hawaii and the US West Coast, but there were no reports of major damage from those regions.

Thousands of people were ordered to evacuate coastal areas in the states of California, Oregon and Washington. The biggest waves of more than 6-7ft (about 2m) were recorded near California's Crescent City, said the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre. A tsunami warning extended across the Pacific to North and South America, where many other coastal regions were evacuated, but the alert was later lifted in most parts, including the Philippines, Australia and China. Strong waves hit Japan's Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, damaging dozens of coastal communities. A 10m wave struck Sendai, deluging farmland and sweeping cars across the airport's runway. Fires broke out in the centre of the city.

[RE-WIND] 2011: The Year In Review

Today is Christmas. In a few days, 2011 will leave us and mark into the history books. For us, 2011 bring us much happiness, much joy. For others, it brings beautiful and unforgettable memories. I had wanted to do such post like these in previous years. In fact, I think I did before. But, only to such extent of only one post, a short one, like a summary (I think I did it for last year). Anyways, for this year, I wanted to do something different. So what if nobody reads my blog (do I need others to READ it?) Yeah, I do. But who cares. If people don't like it. So what? (Like what Pink said: So What? I am a rock star? ... (^^) ...). So, with 5 days left and we will enter the new year, I will try to Re-Wind some of those major, big, significant events, locally and globally. Some of us may heard in TV, or read it the newspaper. Whichever way you may have heard it, let us bring back to the moment the event occurred. Ah yes, I was ..... 

Goodbye

KDrama Mania [4]

It has been a month I underwent my internship.. so far so good.. as they say.. as you go along.. you would 'pick-up' little-by-little.. It does seems hard in the beginning.. but after a while.. you have the hang of it.. so.. the past month has been a bit tiring for me.. literally.. yelah.. pagi2 bangun.. and then siap2 nak pegi keje.. and then balik petang dah penat.. sampai2 umah.. makan malam.. pastu malam tu wat aktiviti2 yg patut.. furthermore.. aku tak dptlah nak tgk sebanyak drama yg mungkin spt sblm ni..'volume' nye jadi sedikit..

so.. for the following dramas.. mungkin aku kene 'stop' tgk sekejap arr.. sbbkan availability nye.. ade yg still on air..tapi kene tunggu episod tu dah ade subs.. pastu ade yg dramanye dah abis..tapi aku tak sempat nak tgk.. either sbb streaming lambat.. (sbb tgk online).. atau mmg tak sempat nak tgk.. atau tak available (online 0r downloads) lagi...so..bile2 mase berkelapangan lah kan...klu sempat tgkla.. (*_*)...so..here are the updates for march...

1st Day of Intern

1^st of march was the first day I was admitted as an intership trainee.. after a much delay.. I decided to just do it this year.. supposedly.. I should had done it in 2009… but .. you knowlah.. atas sbb2 tertentu.. aku tangguh.. klu ikutkan nak buat intern ni last skali.. bile aku dah abis amik semua subjek.. (dan lulus lah).. tapi.. sbbkan byk perubahan pd course structure.. hitung2 balik.. takpela.. tukar plan.. skrg ni klu ikutkan dah plan O dah.. and dengan result yg dah kuar aritu.. dah masuk ke plan P plak.. (rumit kan plan aku nih..*_*..).. anyways.. dalam tgh sibuk2 intern ni.. of coursela.. rase mcm takde mase langsung.. yela.. kuar keje kul 8.. keje dr 8.30 sampaila 5.30.. balik tu mmg penat… betullah ckp member aku yg pernah intern dulu.. ‘keje is keje, sampai umah mmg tak pikir langsung pasal ofis’… literally lah maksudnye.. bukan tak pikir langsung pasal keje2 kat ofis tuh.. tapi..bile sampai umah.. otak tu fokus pd bende lain.. klu boleh tak nak pikir langsung keje2 ofis tuh….*<*…

...so called 'workspace'..kadang2 wat keje kat meja lagi satu kat depan tuh...

So.. dlm coretan kali nih.. nak cite sikitlah ape terjadi mase first day aku start intern aritu.. just a few events lah that happened…

1. Traffic Jam!

Tempat aku intern ni ofisnye kat Warta Bangi.. dekat2 ngan PKNS Bangi..not exactly kat bangunan Warta tu.. dekat ngan lot2 kedai tu… so.. dari rumah aku.. klu ikut highway SILK tu.. should sampai dlm 15-20 minit.. plus-minus traffic light sumer.. nak jadikan cite.. jem plak pagi tu.. klu ikutkan mmg pagi2 jem kat highway tu.. sbb org keje Bangi/Putrajaya/Puchong dan sebagainye lalu situ.. klu sape2 yg duk Kajang tu maybe tau kat mane aku maksudkan… die start dari Sg. Ramal tu.. sampaila exit Bangi.. atau mungkin sampai exit Putrajaya.. bukan sbb ade accident ke ape.. sbb kete banyak.. tu yg slow .. so.. pagi tu mmg ‘merangkak’la gamaknye.. terpakselah bersabar je..

2. Nobody & Hot Issue

So.. sedang dlm menempuh jem tuh.. sambil2 tu of course lah.. duk dlm kete.. layan lagu.. for those who knew me.. klu naik kete.. tak lain tak bukan mesti akan pasang lagu korea.. (gune FM modulator lah.. cucuk USB..cari frekuensi..)… so.. mase dlm kete tu.. kadang2 tukarlah channel radio lain.. Hot FM ke.. Hitz ke kan.. saje nak dgr lagu lain plan.. tukar selera sikit.. not to brag or anything.. to my amazement.. radio stesen kat Malaysia ni.. dah ade yg pasang lagu korea.. daebak!..(^^)… klu ikutkan aku dah jarang dgr radio tempatan dlm kete.. tapi.. pagi tu.. Hot FM pasang lagu ‘Hot Issue’.. nanyian kumpulan 4minute… pastu tukar channel Muzik FM.. lagu ‘Nobody’ oleh Wondergirls plak.. klu dulu lagu Nobody slalu dipasang versi English nye.. tapi ni aku dgr yg versi koreanye… ‘Waah!’ aku kate dlm hati… ade kelainan.. dan klu sape2 yg slalu dgr Era FM.. diorang kadang slalu pasang lagu ‘Sorry, Sorry’ oleh Super Junior.. takpun lagu ‘Bonamana’… (I wonder bilela depa nak pasang lagu SNSD erk..**..)…

3. Cikgu!

Dalam jem tu.. tibe2 aku ternampak satu kete ni.. tak taula betul ke tak ape mate aku ni nmpak.. tapi.. org yg bwk kete tu nampak macam lecturer tax aku.. “Eh, sir duduk kat Kajang ke?”.. klu tgk nombor plet kete.. nombor plet D.. mmg die dulu pernah keje kat Kelantan…

After that.. sampailah aku kat ofis.. walaupun pagi tu aku sampai lambat.. aku ckp kat bos aku tu sori lambat sbb jem.. takpela kot.. first day boleh dimaafkan.. pasni taklehla wat lagi.. klu boleh.. huhu.. so.. aku masuk ofis.. borak2 jap.. pastu bos aku explain la ape keje yg nak dibuat.. etc..etc… mmg masuk2 tu agak blur mule2.. amende la aku nak kene buat.. tapi takpe.. bos aku ckp mmg amik mase.. nak pahamkan processnye.. softwarenye.. and so on lah… so.. hopefully.. all the best for the next 26 weeks.. (^_^)…
