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

'Content Analysis' lagu nasyid "Hambamu"[SIRI 2]


Ke arah satu perjalanan
Dalam sebuah kehidupan
Demi untuk mengecapi
Hasrat murni di dalam hati

Dalam kehidupan ini,ia merupakan suatu pejalanan menuju kehidupan yang abadi,hasrat seorang hamba allah yang soleh/solehah sudah tentunya untuk masuk ke syurga jannah Allah....

Usaha dengan doa
Masanya akan tiba
Dengan restu Illahi
Kelak pasti akan ditemui


Walaubagaimanapun, terdapat pelbagai ujian,halangan,godaan untuk mencapai babak2 kejayaan dalam kehidupan.....dengan restuNya sudah pasti kita mendapat kekuatan dalam menempuhi segala2nya



Suluhkan cahaya di hati terang (Allah)
Tunjukkan jalan seandainya hilang (Allah)
Tegakkan perjalanan yang bakal ditempuh
Tegakkan semangat bila runtuh
Setibanya di sisiMu ku berserah
Terimalahku hambaMu Allah
HambaMu Allah

Maka tika itu,mohonlah padaNya sebagai petunjuk kerana Dialah yang Maha mendengar dan Maha mengasihani....agar semangat yang makin layu tidak padam selamanya....

Sekiranya takdir menguji
Cekalkanlah hasrat di hati
Semoga kesusahan bisa
Mengajar erti terus asa

Ujian yang diberikan Ilahi seharusNya ditempuh dnegan penuh kesabaran,kecekalan; moga kita semakin kuat dan semakin beriman dengan segala ujian yang diberikan Allah...WALLAHULAM

ULANGAN LIRIK LAGU......
Usaha dengan doa
Masanya akan tiba
Dengan restu Illahi
Kelak pasti akan ditemui

Suluhkan cahaya di hati terang (Allah)
Tunjukkan jalan seandainya hilang (Allah)
Tegakkan perjalanan yang bakal ditempuh
Tegakkan semangat bila runtuh
Setibanya di sisiMu ku berserah
Terimalahku hambaMu Allah

'Content Analysis' lagu Aku redha.....[SIRI 1]


Kau katakan mencintaiku cinta buta
Kau katakan merinduiku rindu gila
Kau katakan kasih sayang tak berharga
Mengapa baru kini kau luahkan


Kekasih@Si lelaki@Si suami ini sentiasa menyatakan perasaan cinta,rindu yang teramat dalam dan kasih sayangnya terhadap pasangannya namun, adakalanya diuji dengan ujian, si lelaki ini mula goyah dari segi pendiriannya dan mula menyatakan perasaan ketidakpuasan hatinya terhadap pasangannya.....


Aku redha untukmu yang aku cinta
Demi kebahagiaan kita
Mungkin kan kekhilafanku
Aku redha cinta ini terbiasa
Ujian telah huru-hara
Mencari kelemahanku...

Walaubagaimanapun, pasangan kekasih@si isteri sentiasa REDHA dengan segala yang berlaku dan mengakui adakalanya kesilapan atau kelemahan yang menyebabkan situasai tegang berlaku berpunca dari dirinya....


Aku redha andai kau jauhkan diri
Membawa hati dan mimpi
Membiasa hidup sendiri
Aku redha walaupun dada berburai
Jiwa tak bisa menghurai
Betapa cinta padamu...

Si perempuan@Si isteri tetap REDHA walaupun si lelaki cuba pergi jauh2 dari dirinya/membawa diri/mengalihkan perhatian kepada pihak lain,atau cuba tidak menghiraukan dirinya WALAUPUN hati si isteri itu remuk dan terluka demi kasih sayangnya terhadap si lelaki/si suaminya itu....

Oh...kasih jangan kau persiakan waktu
Maafkan aku tak berjaya
Mencipta bahagia ku janjikan...

malah si kekasih/si isteri dengan penuh rendah dirinya memohon maaf atas segala kesilapan dan kesalahan yang dilakukan termasuklah jika dia tidak mampu membuatkan pasangannya bahagia......

wallahualam.......

Tuesday, June 08, 2010

Honestly to share- Try not being lazy when look this comments>>>Still far away to go...............

COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM THE EXAMINERS
*Sorry, only comments no full answers provided here...think for your research context please;some of them is my sv's suggested answer; not my answer at all......................................

1-Dr Polly
i-Can you explain some the theories you have used and where this fills in your research?
*Needed to say the context not too much details; Need clear one sentence definition; if they are both same meanings

2-Dr Gordon
What is the main finding in this thesis?
* A list of the CSF actually is…; Needs to be shorter and more to the point

3-Dr Polly
Could you explain interpretive paradigm/ phenomenological since you seems to have done a survey
*My answer was too long, supposedly need to say very precisely

4-Dr Gordon
What is the difference between KL and Manchester? What have you found?
*my answer is not too much, but concern on Politic,
added by my sv - How in your thesis do you account for the difference in the student: Malaysian in UK(overseas country) and Malaysian in KL(home country)? How do you deal with this?


6- Dr Polly
You have used various survey tools; surveymonkey/nvivo;
What are the limitations/drawbacks of using these tools
*Supposedly answered in a practical way

7-Dr Gordon
How did you get to Chapter 7- Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 not showing the links with Chapter 7
Analysis is missing-where is this? Taken out but that is more towards the raw data
At what point do you tell the reader what you did I got to Chapter 7(but how did you get that?) Describe the whole process- summarise or synthesize the process
How you have classified and codify the data findings? Not clearly explained still in tacit way-supposedly in explicit way- as further works

8-Dr Gordon and Dr Polly
i-Data analysis needs more work
ii-How did you do that research
iii-Classify & Categorisation

9-Dr Gordon
i-How do you account for cultural difference?
ii-Do you classify the same posting in the same or different categories?
iii-Pistic/Social categories
iv-Need to be reassured that classifications correct-is it subjective-that is missing
v-You are not acknowledge your own involvement- as a Malaysian student- all these factors shaped your decision @ ‘you are not acknowledging things that should be acknowledgement

10- Dr Polly
i-Did you have ‘ethical dilemmas’
ii-Where is ethics- in chapter 4-need to be a heading/subheading somewhere-needs to be explicit
iii-If they know you are observing them, how did that affect the results?
iv-The researcher believes in ‘subjective reality’- put all this here….

11-Dr Gordon & Dr Polly-need argueable discussion in thesis
i- The whole issue servicing Web 2.0-how do you define it?
you are trying to reconcile all the differences and get your definition
ii-What would you say Web 2.0 is ? in 1 or 2 sentences
Reason : Blogs are an application are personal diary
Social Networking isn’t really Web 2.0 in its own setting
( he is asking about the broader concept)
iii- It’s a bit messy ; Define our term on your scope; You have taken your own definition I used that = synthesis of variables prevailing= 1 theories
iv- Page 182-validation
v- Not met English standard

12-Dr Gordon
i- need to say what you have done precisely
ii- English; This | linking problem
iii- Tables- question use the tables; here a lots of done would be better as TEXT
iv- this has to be as long that corrects together–look at flow| how it connects pace and flow

All these question can be my potential questions in the real exam soo.......have to practice more and more after this.......

29th meeting... yesterday....

Yesterday, I met my sv last time before my 'exam' next week. She gave some tips and check in details for my abstract, chapter 1 and chapter 8, but she still concern on my writing level espcially my english languange.Yes, I have to admit about that,even I have checked my report few times and proof-read,but the technical erros still exist here and there..Hopefully the examiners will forgive me on that reason. The most worry part is my model also have some changes after I look back in details yesterday.erm......today and tomorrow have to work extra for ensure my preparation is adequate. She said on that day, she will not say anythings as equal in next stage exam soon-viva...sounds very horrible.Hopefully I can manage to prepare any possibilities and all the justifications what I've been done in my report on that day.


Wallahualam.......

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Knowledge Sharing...Knowledge Transfer....Knowledge Exchange

Finally, I am clear with these term...(erm..in final year just then you clear??So slow okay...).....

Adapted from Boyd et al(2007) from the 8th ECKM proceeding paper, they clarify the difference of these term.......

Yes, I admit from the first year that they are slightly difference between knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer( based on stand of Prof Charles Egbu-my phdmate's sv) but before this I just ignore and still assume they are mostly same- this stand exist since I found too many papers claim that is same but it not......so now I got some ideas to make some arguments in my LR......erm...just wanna back to my LR's writing after leave it since last May 2009...fuhhhhhhhh...

Knowledge Sharing

Hopefully......

Honestly I do not like these question ponder out to me....sorry have to say.....

- when your Internal???is it okay?????how may questions???
- when you will submit the report?
- when your viva?(very complicated question....)
- when your study leave end???
- do yo will extend???? why????
- you finish??how many years you spend for the phd???) the time is not important..the
most important is get phd okay.....


all of these questions makes me tense ...so hopefully nobody will ask about that anymore unless I'll inform here...because nobody wanna face tense with all those questions.......and all of us (who have same journey like me wanna smooth journey....okay...) but allah know the best for us...so we cannot deny on that....even we plan the best but she know the better for us...


at this moment like these preview album...hopefully my lovely sis will buy for me and will reach at me soon....

Though time...???

After get rest for some period..now my work must be shift to gear 2 or gear 3....and start to think wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly......

start tomorrow until the end of March is my though time since I have to do the most hard job(literature review writing continuation/extended from IA report) I think ( for me ) and I have to do it unless you cannot get the phd..wallahaualam......

Today and tomorrow, my day time was full with NVIVO training session at school and in the night..try my best to finalise the research methodology draft chapter writing which is still not firm yet??could I???yes..of course..it keep change here and there...and now I start think on argue with the some of book authors..but do not know how to make it in sentence???that is my weakness part..critical and argument writing..............

hopefully this point will help me...inshaallah..thanks sis faiez


1. What is inspiring about the reference? How does it attract you?
2. Do you agree or disagree with the author? Provide your reason for agreeing/disagreeing.
3. If you embrace the author’s opinion, how will this inform your research?




My analysis stage also still not finalise yet...since after attended the NVIVO session today.....I get the new idea how to applied this software to support my findings...... even though my sv already satisfied with what I'm doing at this moment...I cannot feel comfortable with her style because until on our last meeting my objectives also had been changed...I think that is normal in phd journey ...the most important!!!!!always check back with our work( quote from Dr Sudi Sharifi-during attend her qualitative training session last week)..since in her training session also, I've found some of arguments of my research with her stands....(and I still keep thinking that she will be my potential examiner during the IE...oooooppppppsssssss...wallahualam...)

Insyaallah most porobably my crazy plan will work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This coming year 2010 will full of 'crazy' planning in my family to ensure my journey will meet the 'full-stop' of it with the non-stress way as soon as possible(what is that???) erm..I think it shouldn't be reveal yet until the plan works at least 50%...just left almost 12 months than now,I'm trying not promise to myself to struggle finish my journey before 31 December 2010 ....BUT I must fight, fight, fight, fight with all the barriers(lazy,weather,english competency,commitment as wife and mom etc etc)- try to be positive person as you can ....Sometimes...I admit that, usually I always try to be 'different' from others since I was in secondary school until now...

Just to let know that at this moment........TOO MANY WORKS I HAVE TO FINISH IT WITHIN IN THIS COMING 3 MONTHS...IT SOUNDS SO HORRIBLE,TERRIBLE AND SICK HEAR OF IT to others... but I try my best to make it reality.....among that of works of course-

1- data analysis; require me to learn new things and spend a lot of time
2- data validation; again I have to refresh my skills in SPSS although just to validate the findings
3- write up stages..- this one really makes me 'crazy' and I have to plan plan plan and plan by single time and single chapters
AND MANY MORE phd 'works' TO HANDLE IT......

After this, maybe this blogs will not updates recently...
just let all of you know that I'm 'busy' mood in highest level....

note- I'm always wish that I'll not crazy in reality but for the sake in get the spirit to do my work...so lots of 'crazy' rewards on my mind.....

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
