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.............................................

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....

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.....

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....................

Date:13th May 2010
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;
