Journey to the unknown destiny 1

<img
I have undergone 20 hrs of lecture on the research methodology. I have started to be familiar with the relevant web site, pains taking searching for relevent literature and defining my broad areas and ideas for my unknown destiny.

Originally there are 18 crew member all together. Two left the ship less than 24 hours listening to the 4 hours lecture by the commander Dr Robiah. Then in the next session one more left the ship. One new crew just joining us last week. Total number of 16 member all together.

One of the remarks made by Dr Robiah on the first day of lecture– statistically only 1 ( I meant only one ) student managed to get through after 5 years of strunggling. Oh my god!!!!. Very scary.. Based on her experienced, I salute to all my friends who managed to get through. Some with casualties of course with – Permanent head damaged – in short PhD.

After the 10 hrs of lecture we were given our first course work: to find a relevant journal- what??. journal. Never cross in my mind to search for a journal, read it and what more give a comment on it. We need to present it on the next lecture.Rupanya journal ni penting bagi orang-orang yang nak buat research. Luckily with the modern internet communication, we can get access to most of the journal in the world – but off course not for free. We need to pay for it. The publisher just published the abstract of it only.

I spent almost one week searching and browsing for the right journal. Finding the right journal is one problem, analyzing it is another problem. My god.

Lecture 2.
Alhamdulillah I managed to present the journal that I have choosen to be commented. Originally I plan to present this paper next lecture, but since 2 of the crew member declined last minute, I volunteered my self. Their reason: one said that she left her tumb drive at home, the other one said that she has choosen a wrong article.

At least, ‘done’. So, I can concentrate on the next assignment. Ni yang pening. Yesterday while waiting for Umi ( metg kat UPSI) , I spent almost 2 hours in Kedai Mamak reading all the necessary journal and article. I ordered one glass of Radix ice. Mak Oi , RM2.20 for one glass of Radix ice. Mahal betul. Before that we have lunch at one of the kg ‘restaurant’ – one piece of small ikan cencaru bakar, 2 plate of rice, kerabu taugeh and a small bowl of soup tulang ( really tulang – little meat ),2 glass of lemon ice- Guess how much……???

RM16.40 – my god. Too expensive. Mana pulak dapat 0.40 cent ni. Taubat tak mai kat sini dah next time kalu datang ke Tanjung Malim ni.Ingatkan bila bayor dapat discount 0.40cent, tak maunye.

To be continued…insyAllah
