Satu demi satu.....

Orang2 Malaysia di kariah aku(CHeetham Hill) kini semakin berkurangan....dalam tahun ni saja lebih daripada 10 famili akan pulang.Terasa hiba jugak....hari ni pun ada akak senior aku,kak ima dan keluarga yg akan 'back for good' memandangkan suaminya sudah bergelar DR....sedihle....sbb akak ni mmg pakar kek...dah tak boleh tempah kek sedap dah kat dia......kenangan terakhir dengan k.ima masa 'shopping di NEXT Mac lalu..hehehe....semalam di rumah dia ...terlupa bergambar.....

*k.ima-dua dari kiri....yg kelima-k.ita dari kiri pun dah pulang awal bulan April.......

Aku juga yang masih di sini...sentiasa memohon dipermudahkan moga2 aku akan pulang juga suatu hari nanti seperti mereka-palaing awal pun tahun depan, jangan mimpi le dalam tahun ni yer...perjalanan aku masih jauh.......halangan pun masih banyak lagi.....

.....sepertimana juga salah satu lagu dlm track di sebelah ni- Home by Westlife....
(cari sendiri ye...)

Thanks dear my sponsorship!!!!!!!!!!!!

My application to go conference has been approved under my sponsorship-
**M n **T......

Alhamdulillah tak sia2 aku mencuba walaupun tahun lepas tak dapat kelulusan atas alasan bentang poster sahaja, kali ini aku buktikan aku bukan jenis mudah berpatah arang; kebetulan semangnya aku pergi untuk bentang secara lisan....yang penting jgn putus asa untuk mencuba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hungary oh Hungary....

Insyaallah satu lagi perjuangan yang perlu dilaksanakan beberapa hari selepas Internal..

<

Segalanya mungkin

Sometimes I need different!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aku rasa tak semuanya kisah hidup aku dapat ceritakan di sini...lebih2 lagi jika ianya melibatkan maruah keluarga dan juga kelemahan diri sendiri(terlalu banyak rasanya kelemahan diri yang ada dalam diri ini...)...Walaubagaimanapun untuk panduan dan pedoman, aku cuba juga untuk berkongsi sesuatu dengan cara yang sebaik mungkin....

namun hari ini bukan hari terbaik untuk aku titipkan apa yang aku cuba kongsikan..cukuplah untuk aku menyatakan BAHAWA....tiba-tiba aku rasa 'penat' sangat dengan perjuangan ini-terasa mahu pulang seketika ke tanahair tercinta melawat nenek yang sudah lama terlantar sakit, paksu aku yang sakit kuat dan macam2 lagi yang aku angankan....ada yang meramalkan aku akan habis dalam tempoh yang ditetapkan dan sememangnya aku juga berusaha ke arah itu........ namun aku tidak pernah memberi harapan yang terlalu tinggi kerana aku tahu segalanya berkemungkinan....aku ada perancangan aku yang tersendiri dan jika yang terjadi memihak kepada perancangan A, aku tetap bersyukur...dan jika yang terjadi memihak kepada perancangan B mahupun perancangan C, aku tetap bersyukur dan yang penting sekali aku perlu meredhai dengan apa yang telah disuratkan oleh yang Maha Esa...cuma kadang2 keredhaan itu sangat sukar untuk diperolehi sebab aku tahu aku adalah manusia yang sukar tunduk mengalah pada keadaan......seperti diawal bait2 lagu ini.....

Still on the way.....

I have only 7 days before submit to school office and it still on the way....
After my sv has been reviewed on important chapter, I still have look further some important part;abstract,discussion and flow in the research findings....

Million thanks to my PR, trying her best give full commitment to me in help me enhance my academic writing skills...

Noter:7-2(weekend)=5 days...?????????????????hopefully I'll make it.....

May our journey is blessing by the Creator dear....

Today,22/4/2010 is my spouse birthday;Mr Muhammad Mat Yusof...But we do not have 'big celebration' yet since I'm too busy with my school work and preparation for IE.....however, I bless our journey will go smoothly and my dear hubby will remain loving me forever and ever same as me feeling to him...Amin.........


I'm dedicated two romantic songs for him.......hopefully he likes it....

After 28th meeting....

Just back from meet my sv few hours ago...After showing main findings cum the draft of report to her...this is the important notes that I should bear and take actions for my report and exam soon:

1- English must excellent either in report and presentation day-VERY IMPORTANT okay dear....that is the reason my works always must be proof-read!!!!!!!!!!!!

2- Figures must be clear and clarify the content of Figures- do not put the abbreviation in the Figure to avoid the examiner irritate with your Figures.....

3- Reminder for me for this exam:
a- what is your research about?
b- what is your research aim?
c- what is your research methodology has been?
e.g Content analysis & Malaysian blogs
d- how did you measure the KSB? where it comes from-
FLOW must have to ensure the examiner understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it...follow her tips, inshaallah I'll be safe with bless from my Creator......amin....................

Clear,Consistent and Standardize....

That is my challenges now....still struggle finishing my IE report and my challenges is to make my findings chapter(C.5,6 and 7) is understandable...since it is qualitative
# 'mcm research 'syok sendiri' pun ada.....'#....

that is the most challengeable for me .......I understand what I'm doing but to makes reader understand what I want to express the meanings is very hard.....(my Proofreader[Dr HH] of draft report said to me for this part okay....)

the difficulties in my stages now.....my aim to submit the report to school office is 29th April inshaallah....this coming 21stApril have to meet my sv to discuss more on findings presentation...no more final preparation yet.....mashaallah...come on girl...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to normal routine........

Just left one month from today for my internal....so off course I have to work hard to ensure I prepare my best for it..........I got knew the date and the examiners since last week from my sv and hopefully I manage to handle it calmly and wisely...

Examiners:Dr P Soberperez and Dr G Fletcher

Preparation for it:
Salford Business School
Internal Evaluation


The following criteria is proposed:

1. A 20 minute presentation of the objectives/key research questions, methodology, main findings and contribution to the literature.

2. Submission of draft chapters on the following:

- aims, objectives and where relevant, hypotheses;
- research methodology;
- data analysis and main findings (linked to objectives/hypotheses).



Again, my fear feelings come again even though already present the quite similar contents two times(3.3.2010('Mock IE) and 9.4.2010(Web 2.0 Conference))

unexpected thing happen in unexpected time

actually.......... currently, I was away from Manchester for Easter break and phd conferences soon......since last Monday, but I got something that will pending until I'll back after 12th April...sometimes, even though we've already planned wisely, but the reality is not there...the unexpected things arise and I have to be calm on that to solve it....two problems arise and one of it had been settled and one more is still on the way....I wish I could be back to Manchester as soon as possible from my easter break....erm.......it's weird, but it's true......phd oh phd...you're so meaningful to me>>>>>>>>is it????????????????????????????????????

today also was my unlucky day......something bad was happen in my most dream place.............
