Salam dari Monash

Hi,

Remember my last post on the attachment studies in Monash, Australia?

And now, I'm hereee......

(hoorayyyyy)

Its been a month actually.. and another two months to go! Cepat betul masa berlalu.. Pejam celik, pejam celik.. and right now I'm still struggling on my research especially on synthesis part. Oh God, how I wish I could bring my sample from UTP so I don't have to synthesize it again. But you know, bring the chemicals with you in a flight after the MH370 tragedy and a very tight security and immigration in Australia with a dog and you have to open your luggage for checking is.. I don't think so..

*please pray for me so that I can finish my research here*

Well, do you still remember on my last post, bout who gonna take care of Delisha while I'm here..?

Tadaaaaa.. my mom! Love u mum!

And lucky, my mom will stay with me for three months and my dad he went back to Malaysia alone. Not actually alone but he went back to Malaysia with my husband and MIL, FIL. Yes, my husband came with his family for two weeks here and they all flew back to Malaysia in a same flight with abah. Nasib abah kasi mak tinggal sini.. sob sob sob.. Tapi kesian jugak kat abah sebab tinggal sorang-sorang.. love u mum and dad!

I am so busy here as I'm going for study.. So, Monday to Friday is my working day so I just got Saturday and Sunday for shopping and outing. But luckily, during the weeks when my husband and family was here, there were a public holiday with a longggggg weekend. From Friday (good Friday), Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (Easter holiday) and Friday (Anzac day). Hooraayyy...

So we went several places like Royal Botanical garden, Werribee zoo, Brighton beach, Shopping at DFO, and others (tak ingat pulak) but basically in a city. We wanted to rent an 18 seater car to go to Philip Island but it all rent out.


I will upload the picture later..

See you in a next post..

Babai..

Dilemma.

Assalamualaikum,

Pejam celik pejam celik almost 1 year I'm being a PhD student. And when I look back, what is my achievement so far.

NOTHING!


To be honest, I don't know what have I done in last one year! And the answer is nothing than a bad result. Of course, some results were good but some were not. At first, I was thought that my research is quite easy and simple but it all end up like ggggrrrrrrrrr... [huh]

--------------------------------------------------------

Okay, This is a different stories.

Actually I am in BIG dilemma..


MAYBE, I have to go to MONASH University in Clayton, Australia for three months. This is for attachment studies. My supervisor wanted me to utilize the CO2 equipment in Monash and gain some new knowledge and experience in ILs. Of course this is like a golden opportunity for me to learn a new knowledge and gain an experience as much as I can. Right now this is still under application because I am still waiting for an approval from UTP but in Monash side they have approved. But I think, UTP will approve after all of my supervisor hardworks.

But the problem is, how about my family?

Do I have to leave my family here for 3 months!! I. Don't. Think. So..

To leave my husband, is one thing and I can handle it (I think). But to leave Delisha for 3 months is the other thing! This one I don't think so! Seriously. I can't imagine how my life without Delisha and I really sure she can't live without me too.. well, she still breastfeed.. I wanted to bring her but who gonna take care of her? My husband is working and he can't take leave for 3 months ( how I wish he could). Maybe at first, I will bring my parents but I don't think they gonna stay for 3 months there as they have a lotttt of things to do here. So, how about Delisha then? urgggghhhh... this question keep playing in my mind every single day.

 No, i'm not gonna leave her here. Oh, please!


Allah. Please help me..

PhD. Reality.

Assalamualaikum,

To be honest, penat sungguh menjadi seorang PhD student . Of course people always thought that PhD students always know EVERYTHING! Yes, EVERYTHING with capital letters. Like me, I am a PhD student in Chemistry. So some of my family, my friends, my students thought that I know EVERYTHING in Chemistry. So, sometimes bila diorang tanya soalan luar alam, and I was just like.. "hah,errrmmm tak sure la pulak.." Then, they will replied like "hah, kata student PhD......, takkan tak tahu..!!" and I was like ptttffffff :p

Common guys, doesn't mean I am a PhD student, I know everything!.. And doesn't mean if I cant answer, then I know nothing! Betul tak? kan!!

Well, this would explain everything. I hope:-

Imagine a circle that contains all of human knowledge:

By the time you finish elementary school, you know a little:

By the time you finish high school, you know a bit more:

With a bachelor's degree, you gain a specialty:

A master's degree deepens that specialty:

Reading research papers takes you to the edge of human knowledge:

Once you're at the boundary, you focus:

You push at the boundary for a few years:

Until one day, the boundary gives way:

And, that dent you've made is called a Ph.D.:

Of course, the world looks different to you now:

So, don't forget the bigger picture:

Keep pushing.
