A map does not mean “only a map”, only a picture that visualizes location of objects on the earth. For me, a map means everything; everything related to geospatial information and its related attribute data. A map is a guidance that helps us to understand a place and to be well oriented geospatially.
Every time I go to new places, I always try to find a map of the place beforehand, by buying a printed map if it is available in shops, or by searching digital maps on the internet as well as visit google maps website. Few years ago, before visiting
However, having a map in hand does not always mean that you will be well oriented in a

“You have to go to the other planet!” Those are the words spoken by my colleague to me when he knew that I was accepted to study my doctoral degree in Malaysia few months ago; as a courteous response of his disagreement if I study in that country. And now, his words come true! Yes, I’m now living in the other planet named JAPAN! Maybe the words he said few months ago was a “doa” (words of worship) for me. Only Alloh knows.
Few months later, I met my Dept Geology colleague (he at that time was a HiLink Research Project official who supervises my department project funded by JICA) in my office. He congratulated me for my successful achievement in getting the Monbusho scholarship. I always remember his words. He says, getting a Japanese scholarship are very difficult for most people. But either way, it is seems so easy for some people.
Indeed, I feel my way to go to “the other planet” was very easy. Alhamdulillah, all the praise only goes to Alloh, my GOD, my KING, my GUARDIAN, my GUIDANCE. And thanks to my beloved wife who finally agree with my decision to study in “the other planet”.

Every people has a special day or even more than one. For me, today is one of my special days. WHY?……..
Today,
Today, September 25th 2007, is my special day because today is “11” days away from the date that I have to go to Kyushu University, Japan for doing my PhD. Number “1” that composes “11” is magical number for my family because my son was born on day 11, month 1 and year 1 (2001).
Today,
And today,
Alhamdulillah…………….
