Motivation Quotation......

Aku meminta kepada Tuhan setangkai bunga, segar, Ia beri kaktus berduri. Aku minta kupu-kupu diberinya-Nya ulat berbulu. Aku sedih dan kecewa. Namun kemudian, kaktus itu berbunga indah sekali dan ulat itupun menjadi kupu-kupu yang sangat cantik. Itulah jalan Tuhan, indah pada masaNYA! Tuhan tidak memberi apa yang kita harapkan. Tapi Dia memberi apa yang kita perlukan. Kadang kala kita sedih, kecewa dan terluka. Tapi jauh di atas segalanya Dia sedang mengatur yang terbaik dalam kehidupan kita.............................................

Fight for this 'love'


Cheryl Cole - Fight For This Love on MUZU.

credit to my phd mate for introduce this new song......i have to fight fight fight for this journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too much of anything can make you sick
Even the good can be a curse (curse)
Makes it hard to know which road to go down
Knowing too much can get you hurt.

Is it better? Is it worse?
Always sitting in reverse
it's just like we're going backwards.

I know where I want this to go
Driving fast but lets go slow
What I don't wanna do is crash nooo.

Just know you're not in this thing alone
There's always a place in me that you can call home
Whenever you feel like we're growing apart
Let's just go back, back, back, back, back to the start.

Anything that's worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quiting's out of the question
When it gets tough, gotta fight some more.

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's' worth having, it's worth fighting for oh-oh-oh

Now everyday ain't gon' be no picnic
Love aint a walk in the park
All you can do is make the best of it now
Can't be afraid of the dark.

Just know you're not in this thing alone
There's always a place in me that you can call home
Whenever you feel like we're growing apart
Let's just go back, back, back, back, back to the start.

Anything that's worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quiting's out of the question
When it gets tough, gotta fight some more.

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's worth having, it's worth fighting for oh-oh-oh

I don't know where I'm heading
I'm willing and ready to go.
We've been driving so fast
We just need to slow down
And just ro-o-o-o-o-oll.

Anything that's worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quiting's out of the question
When it gets tough, gotta fight some more.

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's worth having, it's worth fighting for oh-oh-oh

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
It's worth having, it's worth fighting for oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Inductive-Qualitative

22nd meeting

Not too much progress at this moment ..just quick glance explanation the theories to my supervisor, that I will support for my findings...sounds it look simple but it will be hard time for me to do the justification and discussion for this research.Then, after that,I had attended research methodology's class for 8th times(supposedly.... but I did missed 3 times since the class already started on 29th Sept) where will be end on this coming 15th Dec. Actually the class purposely for registered Msc IT student, however, my core supervisor asked me to sit in for ensure my deep understandings on how to research in information system perspectives.So far what I am doing now, just on track within perspective of information system. Now,I'm still struggle to start write up...Normally many people said to start write up stage is very critical part in this 'journey' especially in beginnings...hopefully I will be able to write up soon...not too much left....I believe I can do it insyaallah I can do it......wish me all the best....

Next 23rd meeting- 8.12.09

try to solve my 'barriers'

- always feel lazy when the study time come....- have to think my family here(my girls and my spouse) and also at Malaysia...insyaallah I'll get the spirit back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- tendency to being sleepy especially after my girls sleep in the night...hardly effort to stay up or burn in the midnight oil..- now at this moment need time to change my style although it still doesn't work all the time....how?????try to sleep early with them and wake up early..but as I said previously, it need time to achieve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- not in good health either myself,my spouse or girls - always ask to the Merciful to avoid uncertain 'health' for us......with some effort or prevention action too...
- lots of things to do and sometimes don't know which is the priority....- always plan and plan and keep evaluate the plan either it works or not
- home sick feelings - when feeling homesick compulsory to call my mom...yes...it can be some favourable action too...for me ..I don't know the other people...
- nobody never understand my situation...only family understands me(mom and my sister) but only phone call my bridge with them not face to face(not use skype at the moment)...that is challenge!!!!!!!!- I'm 'redha'...since after I read the TPB and SCT...and Alhamdulillah I can accept with this situation..
- hardly consistent with the planning....so worry with this challenges - keep trying to change not drastically, but gradually since I'm already 30 years(should be more matured) not 3 years old girl anymore......
- don't know how to struggle..if I can, I wish to spend my phd time almost 12 hours per day...but normally plus minus 5 hours only...- I think it's better that I keep consistent rather 'all out' too much..I have to consider my brain and minds too..'they' need to rest for certain time to avoid me become depress or stress.....Phd is not everything in this world but to get Phd really need supports from everything surrounds me......

anybody argue with me or have other solution????..do tell me..I'm do appreciate it............

Theories Theories.....

Challenges time..really need to understand lots of theories for proof the findings...hopefully it goes smoothly....anybody need to share joyful of reading theories.....do email me- norintan79@yahoo.co.uk

At the moment, I try to look further,truely and deeply on -

1- receiver based theory
2- social cognitive theory
3- theory planned behavior
4- social capital theory
5- social exchange theory
6- hermeneutic theory
7- media richness theory
8- theory narrative

This coming Tuesday, I have to explain concisely all these theories to my sv....may all the best for me........insyaallah I'll use all of these theories for my research...is it too much or too little????

Don't give up dear.......

click here to listen the song :
That's The Way It Is

I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you

Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is


When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah

So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.

Perjalanan doktor falsafah

Adapted from Kosmo....

Oleh IZYAN LIYANA MOHD. DARIF
izyanliyana.mdarif@kosmo.com.my

Mereka yang berjaya menamatkan pengajian hingga ke peringkat Ph.D menceritakan bahawa laluannya bukan mudah dan penuh dengan ranjau berduri. Namun, apakah yang menyebabkan mereka nekad?

Saya perlu bijak menguruskan masa. Setiap detik yang berlalu begitu berharga dan saya tidak pernah sia-siakan. Sebab itu selama tempoh pengajian, kehidupan saya bermula seawal pukul 4 pagi. Celik saja mata saya terus menuju ke komputer untuk menyiapkan laporan tesis. Idea-idea pada waktu pagi mencurah-curah memandangkan fikiran kita segar pada waktu itu.



Menceritakan pengalaman pahit dan manis sepanjang pengajian Ph.D, peminat filem Pirate of the Carribean itu menjelaskan, pembentangan viva Ph.D merupakan peristiwa yang sukar dilupakan.

Ini kerana salah seorang penilai viva telah bertanyakan soalan secara bertubi-tubi tanpa memberi peluang kepadanya menjawab. Lebih mengecewakan penilai berkenaan kurang menyokong kaedah penyelesaian Sharifah.

Namun berkat sokongan dan doa keluarga, akhirnya Sharifah yang telah menerbitkan lebih daripada 40 jurnal berjaya meyakinkan penilai itu dan membuat pembetulan laporan tesis dalam tempoh dua minggu saja.


another information to knowledge How to finish PhD?????????????????????

New workstation...from 714 to 926....

Since last week...my workstation office already moved to new place ...which I think is better than old one...although it was the highest level in that building- level 9.......the previous one was in level 7...actually all the phd students from 714 was divided to two different room which initially I bless get room at 526 but the allocation was determined by research institute's staff...so..I just do thankful, although I get 926's room...why?
at level 9- less people than at 526, the previous printer firstly was allocated here..where in 526's room, the research instiitute have to buy the new one which it took time and all student from 526 have to come to 926 for print..... , the higher level..the more beauty scenery of the campus and also I can reduce my weight(through use stairs if I want it..but lift is provided...)

Ku mohon.....

Ku Mohon

Setiap hari
Mohon agar Kau sentiasa
Memberiku ketenangan dalam hati... kekuatan
Menempuhi segala dugaan yang mencabar ini
Pasti............ punya ertinya
Engkau beriku harapan
Menjawab segala persoalan
Hadapi semua dalam tenang

Dengan merasa kesyukuran
Ku doa Kau selalu
Mengawasi gerak-geriku
Berkatilah............... ku perlu rahmat dari Mu

( korus )
Oh Tuhan(ya allah) terangkan hati dalam sanubariku
Untuk menempuhi segala hidup penuh cabaran ini....
Oh Tuhan(ya allah) ku berserah segalanya kepadamu
Agar jiwaku tenang dengan bimbingan Mu selalu

Ada kala ku merasa hidup ini seperti kaca
Jikalau tidak bersabar
Hancur berderailah akhirnya
Tabahkanlah hatiku
Melalui semua itu... Ooh...
Kuatkanlah
Cekalkanlah diriku

(ulang korus )

Curahkanlah nikmat Mu pada hidupku
