Christmas holiday

Alhamdulillah on this friday blessing day, finally I force myself to open this dusty blog of mine and write!! It's not that I don't wanna update regularly but I have nothing to write. In the end, I end-up myself blogwalking and left my blog crying silently in the end of the corner. I'm talking nonsense here...haha. 

Well, christmas is around the corner and it means holiday is coming! and this mean I will have holiday but it's not the holiday that Im so eager about. It's about the reunion of me and my friends from UMT. All three of us had the chance to further our study in UK and neither one of us had thought that we would have the chance to fly here and meet here again. Praise to Allah for He knows everything. So, we have set to meet in Essex, to be exact, Colchester, the place where cicib is currently residing. 

And it will be this coming Saturday!! How time really does fly... It was like a few months ago that we had planned this but now in just a blink of eyes, Saturday is just nearby. And thats an indicator for my plan of study too. Have I reach the timeline for my study???? Arghh...stress. Eventhough I'm stress, but my action and passion towards my work doesn't reflected by my stress at all. It means that I'm still not hardworking...muahaha. But hopefully, I can finish my study by the time given Inshallah and this prayers goes to all my friends who undergo the same journey as me!!

Enough said for now. Ila liqa' (eh tetibe arab...haha)

Finally

I had spent like almost 4 days just to do my paper correction to be resubmitted back. And I had just allocated like a glance-through-the-air for my phd... haiyaaa...but anyway, I want to share a good article on how to reply to peer review comments when submitting papers for publication

click here if you are have no work to do and feel like ah-whynot-its-not-im-going to-loose-anything here --- http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/859/2/How_to_reply_to_referees.pdf

Hilarious

I was searching for a sample cover letter for my paper resubmission and found this template which is seriously hilarious.

Dear Journal Editor, It's Me Again

By Roy F. Baumeister

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today's date

Dear Sir, Madame, or Other:

Enclosed is our latest version of MS# XX-XXX-XX-, that is, the re-re-re-revised revision of our paper.   Choke on it.   We have again rewritten the entire manuscript from start to finish.   We even changed the goddamn running head!   Hopefully we have suffered enough by now to satisfy even you and your bloodthirsty reviewers.

I shall skip the usual point-by-point description of every single change we made in response to the critiques.   After all, its fairly clear that your reviewers are less interested in details of scientific procedure than in working out their personality problems and sexual frustrations by seeking some kind of demented glee in the sadistic and arbitrary exercise of tyrannical power over hapless authors like ourselves who happen to fall into their clutches.   We do understand that, in view of the misanthropic psychopaths you have on your editorial board, you need to keep sending them papers, for if they weren't reviewing manuscripts they'd probably be out mugging old ladies or clubbing baby seals to death. Still, from this batch of reviewers, C was clearly the most hostile, and we request that you not ask him or her to review this revision.   Indeed, we have mailed letter bombs to four or five people we suspected of being reviewer C, so if you send the manuscript back to them the review process could be unduly delayed.

Some of the reviewers' comments we couldn't do anything about.   For example, if (as reviewer C suggested) several of my recent ancestors were indeed drawn from other species, it is too late to change that.   Other suggestions were implemented, however, and the paper has improved and benefited.   Thus, you suggested that we shorten the manuscript by 5 pages, and we were able to accomplish this very effectively by altering the margins and printing the paper in a different font with a smaller typeface.   We agree with you that the paper is much better this way.

One perplexing problem was dealing with suggestions # 13-28 by Reviewer B. As you may recall (that is, if you even bother reading the reviews before doing your decision letter), that reviewer listed 16 works that he/she felt we should cite in this paper.   These were on a variety of different topics, none of which had any relevance to our work that we could see.   Indeed, one was an essay on the Spanish-American War from a high school literary magazine.   

The only common thread was that all 16 were by the same author, presumably someone whom Reviewer B greatly admires and feels should be more widely cited.   To handle this, we have modified the Introduction and added, after the review of relevant literature, a subsection entitled "Review of Irrelevant Literature" that discusses these articles and also duly addresses some of the more asinine suggestions in the other reviews.

We hope that you will be pleased with this revision and will finally recognize how urgently deserving of publication this work is.   If not, then you are an unscrupulous, depraved monster with no shred of human decency. You ought to be in a cage.   May whatever heritage you come from be the butt of the next round of ethnic jokes.   If you do accept it, however, we wish to thank you for your patience and wisdom throughout this process and to express our appreciation of your scholarly insights. To repay you, we would be happy to review some manuscripts for you; please send us the next manuscript that any of these reviewers submits to your journal.

Assuming you accept this paper, we would also like to add a footnote acknowledging your help with this manuscript and to point out that we liked the paper much better the way we originally wrote it, but you held the editorial shotgun to our heads and forced us chop, reshuffle, restate, hedge expand, shorten, and in general covert a meaty paper into stir-fried vegetables.   We couldn't or wouldn't have done it without your input.

Sincerely,

(your name here)

Im so hungryyyyy

I want to eat!

Im going on a cruise!

It's hard to believe that I'll be going on a cruise trip this winter...hoho

Im being too vulnerable

I have lots of works but didnt manage to settle any of them despite the big amount of time given. Sometimes I wonder, why my momentum for my study is still not there? I have done many ways to get to that momentum; I made myself a timetable, a gantt chart, a dummy thesis, and lots more. Neither of them did work. Twice I had asked my sv about the novelity of my research since I doubt on my own study but he always give that kind of good feeling that you can do it. Sigh~ But right now, I dont feel the love and anxiety of doing my research yet. This is so problematic since Im almost a year here stuck in doing my study....uwaaaa

My Weltanschauung

this kind of weltanschauung sometimes bring adverse effect as it give chance to the free thinkers to believe what they believe...

A wonderful weekend

Last weekend, I had the oppurtunity to visit Bath and Bristol. But the most exciting part was meeting up with my gorgeous friend aka ex housemate!! I'll continue later because this bus is sure crazy. I hardly can typeeee....

I love my family

I have a big family and I love them all. I miss them so much

My father is getting serious!!

I thought my mom was kidding when she told me that my father wanted to extend the house. I was like 'oh, ok fine' as my father always act that way. It's called hangat hangat tahi ayam... heheh. But this morning, when I was ym-ing with him, he really told me about that extension and said insyallah it will be finish in June. I told him just to save the money as sooner the house will be empty. The house currently just consists of three members only, my mom and dad and my lil brother. The rest is not living there. And I cant imagine my mom and dad living alone there. But my dad said the reason was because he's going to have another daughter in his life and extra rooms are needed. And quickly I responded back, "I thought it was a son" and he reply "that too, I'm still waiting". ahaha... I can't wait for my new house...yuhuuu.

I miss my mom

I want to call my mom badly but I dont have any story to tell :(

Late and late again

It's been almost two weeks in a row that ive been late to school. This is where I arrive near noon everyday. Despite being awake early in the morning, I am still late to school. I still refuse to get ready to school. Well just a short entry... hehe. tahpape punya entry ni, haha

Teaser 1: Getting married during studying

This post is purposely for my siblings that are currently studying. Well, one of my bro/sis which I can't reveal who are they, had blurted this kind one of question. Haha... I know it's a cliché question nowadays. But, this getting married while studying is a two-edge sword. I will later on list all the pro and cons of it. Do bear in mind, this only apply to my siblings and they are in their undergraduate. I may not think this is suitable for mature students. Hehe...

p.s. btw, my bro is getting married next June. How time flies away

Im just a human

I have a sad feeling today. That's all tht I can jot down now. I feel totally devastated. I had done wrong. Hmm... just hope that I'll be forgiven with my wrong being.

Aiming aimlessly

I am just being a bullet without no bullet eyes. I have not yet strongly determined my final words yet. So just let me shoot aimlessly.

Again from the bus

I find it quite interesting to blog in the bus on the way to my school. At least I dont waste my time. I had generously captured a random picture from inside the bus to share with you guys. It is rather a long distance from my house to school where it took more than half an hour by bus. In exact duration, it is just like less than 20 minutes. This ought to be due to bus route. I wish that I have a car. If I have one, I even can go to carboot everyweek... heheh.

Enough of craps, lets go to more serious issues i.e phd research. Today I'll try my best to extract data on food patterns and trends of three countries; Brazil, UK and Malaysia. And I dont know if my sv is back in UK or not. Its been a while since the last time I saw him :p Well bye bye alligator

blogging while riding the bus

since im the most busy people on this whole universe, i cant find any ideal time for blogging except during on my way to school. so here am i blogging to fulfill my promise to noorhafhizah. we had made a captivating promise to blog everyday in english. let the contents be crap or full of devastating grammatical errors, as long as we write, we'll improve. hopefully... hehe. i've put a picture of my homemade baked-onion macroni below where im not pretty sure it can be viewed or not. well ive got the recipe from fhizah and it turn out nice enough and yummy delicious too. bye bye for now

Motivated?

This is my comeback after a 2-month hiatus...cewah gitu. I have been away far far away from UK during that time period and it was great! I have never been that happy since I arrived UK. HAHAHA.... Opps.. I forgot I suddenly have a task to be done right now... Aigoo, bye bye alligator

Adik lina

Blaja elok elok. Jgn tido dlm kelas!! Hargailah peluang dan ruang yg diberikan. Jgn asek ngn arashi je... Nah lagu utk mu

Wanna know something?

I just can't wait to;

be flying back

to my homeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Terjawab sudah

Alhamdulillah, akhirnya satu persoalan kecil dalam phd yg tak dapat dapat di selesaikan sejak beberapa hari yg lepas sudah terjawab hasil kerajinan membaca dan membaca...

aduhai pubmed... pubmed...

baik letak link; incase kalo ape ape hal boleh retrieve balik :p

kutip buah di ladang org

Berkesempatan nk kutip buah. Sgt seronok. Langit pun biru. Cantik. Subhanallah.....

Gambar poyo-an sgt...haha.

ini nk tunjuk kcg pea.... mesti dok napok kang... sbb gmbr org yg dok pegang to besor angat... xpe kite zoom kacang pea

haaa.... inilah kcg pea... gmbr stoberi meri, ceri sume dlm fesbuk... ngeh ngeh. ade lagi satu gmbr ngn munge matahri... cntik subhanallah bunganya

wah mcm kat jepun lak..ade gmbr ngn sunflower.............

sekian.

Counting days

Seriously, dulu rajin giler nk update entry dan siap tulih dalam english lagi... sekarang satu mende pun x rajin nak buat. Yg ade dalam kepala ialah counting days nak balik je...ahaha. Kronik sungguh aku ni. Kalo la sv tau aku mcm ni, sure die kasihan dan bagi aku duit banyak utk aku balik selalu. Sbb tu tamau bgtau sv. Kalo org tanya susah tak phd tu, jwpn aku di kala first year ini adalah tak dan yg sngt penting di first year phd adalah tahu hala tuju phd kamu. Kalo itu pun x lepas, parahhhh ~~ So, bile dah tahu hala tuju, cari method berkaitan, apa yg perlu ada, mana nak dapat, n sume sume. pasal novelity research letak la tepi dulu --- yg penting kene tahu kenapa kene buat that sort of research. kalo kamu x buat that research ade effect tak pada keadaan sekeliling, dan kalau kamu buat ape effect die pada sekeliling... kalo kamu dpt jwb that soalan dlm tahap keyakinan yang tinggi, insyallah you can proceed to the next level. kalo masih tergagap macam mula mula belajar muqaddam... hmm u need a lot to read.

sambil menulih ni, kepala dok ligat fikir jawapan pada soalan sendirik. takot takot sudah lupa jawapan. almaklumla dok pikir nak balik je. alhamdulillah jawapan masih ade lagi cuma skema jawapan tidak setepat dan seyakin dahulu. ianya perlu diperbaiki. masalah setiap kita mungkin berbeza kerna kita pun bidang yang berlainan. namun objektif semua adalah same kan. phd = doctor of phlilosophy. jd bile disebut philosophy adalah sumbangan teori/idea/etc towards our field of knowledge la kan. idea kene bernas la kan... nak dapat idea bagaimana? melalui eksperimen, bacaan, data analisis, diskusi bersama ilmuan dan lain-lain... tp jgn sesekali dilupa, idea-idea juga dtg dr Allah... Dia yg memberi dan Dia juga yg menarik balik... banykkan berdoa pdNya di saat kebuntuan atau di saat idea mencurah curah...

Sekian dari saya :)

Emo

buat phd sangat tak best. nak kemas baju balik malaysia je rase. makin memuncak rase itu bile x faham ape yang dibuat. haih~ gerammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Amani

Amani 

Tangisan sanubari telah terhenti Kala suram suria memancar sinarnya Pertemuan seindah bayangan firdausi 

Menjadi zikir kasih yang suci

Lukisan dua jiwa menjadi satu Terkenang detik bertemunya kau dan aku Santun berhikmah mengingatkan diri 

Hidup dan mati hanya untuk Ilahi

Mengenggam janji cinta ini Bertemu kasih tanpa jasad Bicara tanpa suara 

Hanya tulisan bahasa indah

Mengeratkan antara kita 

Hinggalah ke akhirnya

Kau ku sanjung kerna pengorbanan Bagai puteri di kayangan Tika ku lesu hadapi hidup Kau hembuskan nafas semangat 

Penawar hati

Lagu: AMAR 

Lirik: AMAR

Resemblance

I was totally like this fellow guy for the last couple of days... and I did not do anything! But, I still did my pleasant shopping spree...gagaga...


The end.

I wish...

I wish I do have a summer sale repellent layered over me right now! I am so addicted to shopping. I am not just doing a mundane window shopping but I really do a massive extravaganza shopping here. At a point, I felt guilty that I said this will gonna be the last time but than that wish just left as a wish as I saw a huge reduce price!! I think I made a great progress in shopping rather than my study here. Huhu...

This is a such a serious problem here as I am not going to make any savings here. I need to have savings as I do not know what will happen in the future! But how, I can't stop myself from buying things with red-tag-70%-discount-sale! It is so tempting that I could go back to the shop a day after if I did not buy the goods which appeared in my sleep (a bit exaggerate here...ahaha). Or even worse, I do the on-line shopping if the items is not in-store. Serious aint I?? huhu....

Clarks -- reduced price that you can get a shoe just for £12 ++ when the original price was £40 ++, La Senza lingeries just for £5 ?? Not to mention Gap, Nike, etc. And then you have the charity shop to spoil yourself.

Well, this entry is totally for Noorhafhizah... hehe. You better be prepared! Don't do so much shopping in Malaysia, as you will absolutely can DO IT a lot here... but do bear in mind, saving is so damn important!

p.s. a quite long hibernation in blogging and studying too :(

The end.

Jap lg nak update post baru

lame dah x update... sian blog

Battle of the day!

I am seriously battling with myself right now!! I can't even focus on what I'm doing... Haihla... Can't someone just do the Phd for me??

I am back!

I am back to the reality of the hassle hectic world of mine. Just arrived back to Southampton yesterday. What a long journey.

It all started from Southampton -- London -- Turkey -- London -- Newcastle -- London -- Southampton. I will tell the details later :)

See 'ya

A soft reminder

If you read or hear any news either through the mass media, internet or anywhere do take it as a pinch of salt. You need to think wisely before grabbing and put it in your pocket...

ps. this was actually a post that was forgot to be published a few days before I went to Turkey :|

Relief

I am a bit relief after sending a brief report to my supervisor today and also after I've got the permission for few days leave. Alhamdulillah.

Blank = Blur = Writer's block?

I'm so in a tense situation right now. I'm still not finish with my work here and I have like just three more days. This is so nerve-racking that drove me a bit mad! So, I end up eating a home-made hot-spicy-curry noodle (instant maggie noodle to be exact here...heheh). I am grateful that I still can enjoy eating!!!

Well, thinking back of those couple years back, all I did was studying and studying. Alhamdulillah I have the opportunity to do that and I don't believe that I've been through all of this. Even though sometimes the tiresome and tiredness of studying do arose, but the satisfaction at the end is worth paying for. The journey towards it already brought valuable memories either it was a significant one or just a bunch of hodge-podge memories. Everything do account in my journey here.

Isn't it great if writing for an academic purpose is simple like writing in here where I can just simply pour my insights and thoughts without any formal writing!

Better go now as I am going to city to celebrate my house-mate's birthday.

See ya.

Enduring the pain

The aftermath of a dreadful trip to Cornwall, I am suffering a massive of laziness that you cant imagine!! Cornwall was great but our timing was not that great....everything was cloudy...the inevitable change of the sky due to the volcanic explosion in the north.


Well, I'm not going to traversed back talking about that trip as i'm interested more in writing down bout my research...eheh.


But I can't help myself sharing my excitement about the Britain's Got Talent final yesterday. I followed the whole episode like I was into it more than I was into my research. I wish I did my research in reality tv show. But just a few seconds ago, I just felt not to share.


Huh? Well do you guys know that US have recently demolished their food pyramid and replaced it with a plate guide? Well I don’t know too IF it wasn’t told by my supervisor. It was officially to be demolished on the 2nd June which happened to be last Thursday.


That was quite shocking news for me as it was part of my research and I was just about to criticize on the effectiveness of the food pyramid and then, it was officially demolished! Oh then it made my research easier as US the world top leader has already eliminated the food pyramid and it surely be followed by other countries too, right? And Malaysia will absolutely follow what US has done without any hesitation. Or is it not?


Why on earth did they get rid of the food pyramid? There’s a lot of justification for it. If you really like really want to know about it, check this awesome link; http://www.wphna.org/2011_june_hp0_food_pyramid.htm

La Tahzan

Jangan bersedih, meskipun kau merasa sangat sakit dengan apa yang dikatakan orang lain terhadapmu..

Jangan bersedih, meskipun apa yang dibuat belum membuahkan hasil yang memuaskan untuk dirimu..

Jangan bersedih, meskipun tatkala orang lain memandang rendah terhadap kemampuan yang kau miliki...

Jangan bersedih, meskipun engkau telah banyak kali terjatuh dan tersungkur sehingga hendak menangis..

Jangan bersedih, meskipun banyak onak duri yang menjadi rintangan dalam mencapai apa yang kau inginkan..

Jangan bersedih, meskipun saat itu kau merasa tersisih dari kehidupanmu..

Kerana ketahuilah, apa yang kau lakukan itu, jika bersedih, tidak akan membuahkan hasil,
tidak akan boleh merubah apa – apa pun menjadi lebih baik,
bersedih tidak akan menghilangkan sakit hatimu,
bersedih tidak akan menghasilkan kerja yang memuaskan,
bersedih tidak membuat orang memandang hormat kepadamu,
bersedih tidak membantumu untuk tidak terjatuh lagi,
bersedih tidak menghilangkan rintangan yang kau hadapi, dan
bersedih juga tidak membuat mu boleh diterima didalam lingkunganmu...hidup ini memang penuh dengan cubaan yang harus dihadapi,
tetapi yakinkanlah dari dalam lubuk hatimu,
bahawa Allah tidak akan menguji seseorang melebihi kemampuan dirinya,
Yakinlah setelah gelap pasti terang akan menjelang..




Ujian dan cubaan yang diberikan kepada kita, kepahitan dan keperitan yang kita rasai,
pasti ada makna disebalik itu semua,
Cuma bagaimana cara kita untuk mensyukurinya..




Jika ini ketentuan Allah,
mari kita cuba tabahkan hati,
kerana pasti tersirat sesuatu di balik yang tersurat itu…
kerana kita manusia biasa,
tidak terdaya memikirkan apakah hikmahnya..


apakah rahsianya...hidup ini terus berputar!
tiada masa untuk berlengah!
tiada masa untuk berpatah!




mari kita kuatkan hati yang serapuh kaca ini,
salutkan bersama doa tulus suci,
kerana doa itu tersimpan satu kekuatan,
kekuatan dari yang Empunya segalanya...Dan pastinya dunia bukan milik kita, untuk kita atur segalanya,
kerana takdir itu mengatasi tadbir…
tadbir dari manusia yang lemah,
takdir dari Tuhan Yang Maha Mencipta,




Simpan segala pahit dan duka, dalam surat kehidupan ini,
yang penuh sirat pengajaran.
disebalik yang terjadi pasti ada yang terjanji termateri sesuatu yang pasti jika kau ridha akan ketentuan Ilahi..
Siapa yang berbaik sangka kepada Penguasa ‘Arasy dia akan memetik manisnya buah yang dpetik di tengah tengah pohon berduri..

"Pimpinlah kami dalam menjalani kehidupan fana ini dengan kasih sayangMU yang tiada batasannnya.."

Told 'ya

Is it good to act like that??? It bitterly hurts... I'll never be that nice to anyone after this... It do hurts when people do not appreciate what you have done to them. You're act is so irrelevant and I could not tolerate with you any more. Don't you have heart?? Can't you feel the cause that you have done to me? It truly hurts like rubbing salt in the wound. I surely wont be nice after this....................... I really wish that I am with my family now T_T

Going to Cornwall

Despite the volcano that recently exploded in the north of UK, it never despair us from giving up our trip to Cornwall tomorrow. May Allah ease our journey and fill it with barakah. Cornwall was said to have a nice scenary! Well let the pictures tell us later. I have to go to sleep now. Bye.

Met him

I've done meeting with my supervisor and alhamdulillah everything went great. He gave me a clearer insight of the vague writing Ive made. He want to see me back in a couple of weeks later. And where am I at that time? Turkey. ahaha. So, what I need to do is doing the work immediately!!

5 minutes break

I am writing thru my phone right now. Awesome right?? haha... I am so addicted with my journals right now. A conspicuous example is that I just took a DAY just to finish reading an article! AWESOME right??? I hope that you wont fall under my sarcasm words upthere... Well I need to resume back my reading as a preparation for tomorrow meeting

Sleepy

I am badly sleepy. I was a sleep just a few seconds ago while reading the journal!!!

Random crap

Well it seems that I broke my own promise again of having an entry a day... But hey, at least I had an initiative to do it right? ahaks. Last Thursday, I went to a workshop called "writing your thesis" facilitated by Prof Norman Staines. I learned quite some things there especially how to boost up your writing... surely not by using a booster of course. It is by writing everyday for at least an hour consistently. He shared an experience of his colleague who was doing his Ph.D. at that time. His friend, spend every-30-minutes-a day of his time in a tube while going to school by writing down of what people he saw in the tube. By end of his Ph.D., his writing was worth a book. And surprisingly, the book hooked up a publisher and the book was published. Isn't that great? Not only he finished his Ph.D., he also got a book of his own writing. And also moneyyyy...haha. The main point here is that you need to write and write to be a good writer and as to look perfect you need lots and lots of practise. You aint gonna be a good-intelligent-superb writer in just one night. Even it's a crap with meaningless content but at least you have the gut to write something rather than just popping your eyes into others writings. But if you can bring something more meaningful content, it'll be more fantastic. Who knows that maybe your content can bring happiness/ideas/inspiring/motivation etc to those who accidentally stumbled upon your blog.

I am going to meet my supervisor this Thursday. We haven't met quite a long time. The last one was in end of last month. I had promised to do some critical review but I have not move that far yet to really criticise the strong-scientific word of others. I struggled enough to make my own words and barely how could  I find loops and gaps of other works???

I was about to tell about the UK weather when my eyes lid felt heavy and started to a up-and-down exercise. Just a brief forecast here, there's a volcano exploded, and all the airflight specifically up to the north, for instance, glasgow, scotland were shut down. Hmmm... Ok folks, see you later.

By the way, Im going to Cornwall this weekend. Hopefully we are welcome with a good weather this weekend. Bye bye.

Starting from this day, i'll be updating my blog with 3 entries a day; one will be about my life, a 5 words a day vocab, and also knowledge on nutrition. If I can spent my time browsing unnecessary irrelevant stuff like for hours, cant I spend an hour doing this right?

1st entry:
I moved to my new house! Alhamdulillah I love it. End.

Sami Yusuf - Hear Your Call (Official Video)

I'm listening to this song repeatedly....more than 1000 times I think...
If I love that song, I just keep playing that song until I'm sick of it which sure took a week! I love so much this song along with the nice lyrics in it...

Another update

Haha...How frequent do I blog? I was trying to start reading my second journal and then my eyes started to close again...OMG!

Well let's have some chit chat here. A research-related chat is preferable. Says who? Me ;)

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Right now, my depth-focus in this so-called PhD study is on dietary guidelines in Malaysia. I don't know how many outside there who realized the existence of this Malaysian Dietary Guidelines.Are you aware of that??? I am aware since I'm in this field but how about others?

If I'm not aware, I must be a dumbhead then -_-!!

Therefore,

Is it necessary that you develop this whole dietary guidelines like a crazy old-man when the messages were not even conveyed to the whole population? Huh? Developing a tool in nutrition is like playing with log-linear...haih...

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Yeah, we still need to have a guidance but the matter is how on earth do we deliver the message?

And,

Another important issue is, how will the population response to this dietary guidelines?

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Lets say, you knew that fried chicken contains a lot of saturated fat and all that stuffs... and then, one day you were give a one week of free fried chicken, dont you want to accept it? I probably will...

But the whole point here is just

"EAT MODERATELY"

and

"DO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY REGULARLY"

and Islam has teach us all that...

....eat when you are hungry and stop before you're full...

p/s: here's the link if you wanna know more about malaysia dietary guidelines click here or you can fully download it from malaysian ministry of health website.

As I started to read a few paragraphs (of journal of course), my eyes started to become small and small and there you go, I'm sleeping! Urghh... I hate this and I dont know how to cure it. I hate the me who is not committed with her works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frustrated.

There's a lot that happened last week. I'd wanted to share it a past few days but I've been quite packed with lots of stuffs. Now that I've time still I can't jot it as I have a fever. Yeah, again. Huhu... Now, I hope after I recovered, I'll focus on my PhD and promise to finish as quickly as possible...Right now at this time, I sure have a strong determination...muahaha. Well, determination is the key to success right guys :)

I'll promise to myself to share every single bits especially the one that I attended last Sunday... At least, I can revise...

Just something that I wanna share, here in UK, most of them like to use the phrase --> does that make sense?

uwaa...i dunno what i mumbling here...

miss my car a lot! and i dont know how's her condition back at home...there must be no one who wash her...well, i dont wash her too..haha...very rarely...but she stills shine! as shiny as the moonlight...

Hosni Mubarak had finally steps down a few minutes after I wrote the previous n3...

Well, today is Saturday and I'm so free as a bird...which I wanna share a song that I love since years back... im more on the instrumental value which lies in it...huahua...

The world

This world is utterly sick....

.... and I'm utterly sick of that

A motivation to move further

What a relief...haih~

As explicit as possible

I've found an article that refresh back "how to do a thesis"... here --> http://www.aber.ac.uk/media/Modules/dissert1.html

My SV wanted an outline for my study which I forgot to do it...haha. What I did was just a 7-pages of a sort-of-critical-but-not-that-critical review. Awesome right? To do a page already drove me crazy and for 7 pages... it took me 7 nights without sleeping. Fine. I'm exaggerating it. Enough with the metaphors. Suddenly, I remembered that I have an e-book of how to write your thesis by Rowena Murray. Bye, I'm going to read it now.

I am no stranger to the rain

Haha...the title up there sounds like what-the-what right? I had just met with my supervisor this morning. Sigh~ He's good but i'm so far beyond being that good. Next task to submit is this Wednesday. And have next meeting either this week or next week. If I have that high level of confidence, maybe I enjoy seeing him even everyday...haha.

But the matter is that I don't. He said that I have a good writing skill. Of course it's good because 90% of it was cut-copy and paste...haha. Well, I admit I prefer to write than to present as I'm so horrible in presenting. He said " here you can have the freedom to talk what YOU think and not to fear with what the government had implemented"....and here is where my problem arose --> I am not a thinker!! Even though my blog entitled ::Out of the Box:: but it's just a cliché...haha. I dont even put my thought out of the box...

Well, I keep writing here as to look as I am busy doing my work; and my fingers have to keep pressing the keypads. Look, I am so good in acting right? haha... I have lots of more to share but seriously I have to start doing my work again.

the end.

Huhuhu...now i know why I had that gloomy heart. It is because of the hormone imbalance that women usually have it every month. Weird right? But still, it is not that the main factor. That is just a supporting factor of my gloomy heart.
[gedikla aku nih kan blog]

I've submitted my first fresh-from-the-oven review to my SV last week and we're going to have a meeting next Monday (7/2/2011). And that sure wreck my nervous. I have to read and read more. But as I keep reading, I have no idea what on the earth I am reading. Muahaha... I just keep reading but still I can't put in a conceptualize frame of my ideas. Huh...

Urm...last Wednesday, I had went to a welcoming event for the new international students. It was a short nice one not the same as the one in my previous uni in Malaysia. Just a 6 minutes speech from the VC. I love that. And my God, all the foods there were so super delicious looking. HOWEVER, I just took the vege ones. What to do right? This is not Malaysia. Well, Malaysia is not always Halal too. Have to beware too.

I met new friends too. One from Canada and Norway. I also had quite a long chit chat with one of my colleague from Mexico. Almost one hour and I didn't finish yet my review at that time! She told me the situation of her country which encounter a big problem with the drug dealers. She was worried as these drug dealers are becoming uncontrollable and start to mess up with society. She said thanks to me for hearing all her stories as she can't bear it any more. I understand her feelings as I have no one here too to share my problems. I hope I can tell something about Islam one day to her :)

Oh...I must stop. I didn't start any of my reading yet.

miss my family n friends

uwaaa...miss my family n friends again back home there :((

By having a heart-ache and hearing season in the sun do sure hit my heart so much

oh so childish...

I feel like to slap my own face for acting like this

if I feel like wanna call them

it's always 2 o'clock in the morning!!

I'm always bad at timing...sigh~

And the ambience right now, a gloomy, windy day, do put a good effect to my gloomy heart...

oit makcik, kemas brg angkut pastu balik malaysia terus laa!! haha...

Smiling

I always smile...but sometimes it is just a fake smile. I just don't want people to notice and make the surrounding atmosphere feels bad. When actually deep inside my heart, just God knows it. I play a good act in pretending to have a good life sometimes...ahaha.

Well, that's enough for now. Why? Because it is all craps. And please H. Mubarak just do what Ben Ali has done. Just step down!! <-- out of nowhere, Egypt revolution story appeared in this n3!!

Lazy

ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE MYSELF RIGHT NOW: LAZY

if my beloved SV know this, he'll killed me!!

Huh...down again

Hey Al-Qalb, hey my heart, hey my hati, hey, hey... what's wrong with you again?? Im trying hard to understand your condition right now heart. Why are you making feel down? it really upsets me. I dont want to be smiling fakely but have a gloomy heart inside. I pray to you Allah. I cried to you Allah. You who hold my heart. I pray to You Ya Allah...guide my heart to the right path...dont ever left me even less than a blink of an eye...

My SV

I have met my SV yesterday... I have lots to tell here in this blog of what happened to me everyday but since I have to jot each inch of this in english it...it turns out to be that i have nothing to tell...ahaha...can u guys understand?? (mcm la ramai yg bacakan...kalo adepun, fhiza je kot...hehe)

Well, back to the story... We talked alot about 1 hour...opss...not 'we' but my supervisor who does the talking while i prefer nodding more and add some 'yeah', 'that make sense' and 'ok'. haha...i keep repeating the same words...i have no idea what to talk...i mean i have the idea but it seems kinda hard to deliver it... so, howwwwwwwwwwwwww? i cant keep nodding for the upcoming 3 years right? i do some of talking but i myself cant believe what crap im talking about...hoho... so, i took an inisiative to go for the english class held by my school on every friday and it's FREE :p and I'm bad in writing too... i hope after taking this class, i can speak like "OMG Asma', is that you talking? how on earth that your bristish accent is so strong" ---> berangan je lebih...kahkah.

So, Im going to my first english class tomorrow morning...I hope i can make friends there

Oh regarding my SV...he's kind and looks kinda a good supervisor insyallah that can guide me through this 3 years journey...and he loves dateline ok which means every task have their datelines...and my first task is to submit a critical review on my research by end of this Jan...and that makes two weeks more left :( Bestkan dah ade keje...ahaha
Ok, mom...bye bye...miss u...

alhamdulillah ramai sanak sedara yg menghantar. kata wana, mcm nk hntr org gi mekah. kalah family wana plus izal. hehehe... aku sgt terharu ngn kehadiran sanak sedara ke epot. tuhan je tahu betapa bersyukurnya aku di saat itu. pastu siap bg wang saku lagi. huhu... insyallah sy akan belajar baik2 di sini dan cepat2 habiskan. Ya Allah mudahkanlah urusanku. awal2 pg diorang dh bangun...kul 4 am kot....sian mereka. pastu, salam2 sume sedara, peluk cium adik2 pastu n umi n abah (boleh ke nangis mase tulih ni, walhal kat epot x nangis pun...nangis dlm hati je umi abah sbb xley nangis nnti umi abah mesti risau kan:( .....

pastu atas kapal terbang duduk kat tepi tingkap. kalo mase naik air asia, tggnu--->k.l---->tggnu mestila rase mcm sonok thp x ingt sbb dpt duduk tepi tingkap (ley kire kot bape kali je dpt duduk tepi tingkap). tp lupe, naik flight 13 jam duk tepi tingkap sgt la x best. Sebab, susah la nk kuar masuk. dahla kebetulan kapal terbang yg naik tu penuh ngn mat salleh, mcm naik kapal diorang je padahal aku naik MAS kot. yg duduk sebelah aku, kapel mat salleh. hmm....nasib badanla asma' oii...paramugari MAS mcm suke layan mat saleh lebih dr aku je gaya. haha...perasaan aku je kot. sib baik ade pramugara yg baik hati. slalu gak tanye aku ok ke tak sepanjang 13 hours dlm flight tu. siap sembang2 mase nk turun kapal terbang bile dh landed kat heathrow. haha... fmily die siap wakil australia for badminton...aku pun tatau sejauh mane kebenarannya...haha. die kate kat malaysia xde peluang, so cr peluang di tempat lain. barula aku rase mcm aku naik kapal negara sendiri kan.... lupe nk cite bout mknn, hmm makanan nmpk mcm best, xpi kalo mkn sorang2 sume bende pun xbest kan....eh ke x? so, bg la pape pun kat aku mase tu, sume aku mkn mcm xrase pape....huhu. n 13 jam tu sgt la lameeeeeeeeeeee....puas dh aku main game kat atas kpl terbang tu, tgk cite, dgr mengaji (ade ayat2 Al-Quran atas kpl..menarik kan) tgk cite mawi, etc....xsampai2 jgk. tido xyah ckpla...bape kali kot aku tido...
