~ A time to break ~

Today, i feel truly sad and disappointed..
I never feel in such a way before for these recent years..
The feeling i had just now as if i will kill someone without mercy..
I have decided to give myself a long break to cool down. I will not simply forgive that person as that person did something that i could not accept.

I am sad but i am still glad that i know someone there to look after an care for me..
I will discuss with "him" so that we can enjoy ourselves..

~ Research Work ~

~ Well, i need to re-charge myself to continue my work. Sometimes i am being lazy, i learnt to be lazy since i step into post-graduate life... hehe. I used to be very hard-working as many have said so. Nevertheless, i learn to relax "lazy" to avoid being pushed-up to the wall. In the end, i may lose my temper or being frustrated, lack of motivation and i may quit as well. These are the things that i want to stay away with.

Today i met my supervisor to discuss my coming-up plan for the study. I will measure BP while my partner starts to run his samples. I am not really into PowerLab yet i will learn to master it. (Of course it takes some times).

By the way, i have completed my draft as correct as possible with the format requested by publisher. I will pass over to few persons to proof-read and edit it whenever applicable before submission. And i did received money prize as a token of appreciation for my previous journal published. The money prize is divided among the co-authors.

It is an encouraging move to "ensure" the lecturers to write and write, and to be published in journals. I am keen on high impact factor (IF) journals. For those starters, they can opt for lower IF , to gain experience in writing. I gain satisfaction when i read my published journal.. he he.. so hopefully, my second journal will be published as well :)

I am still waiting the good news from Secretariat regarding the abstract results. As you see, the jury will choose the abstracts to be presented either orally or by poster.
If orally, the participant is fully sponsored including conference fees, accomodation and flight tickets. On the other hand, for poster presentation, the fees are waived 50%.
Of course the due date for abstract submission is 30 May 2009, therefore i do not see the possibility that i will get to know the result by end of this month, perhaps by June since the conference is in July. If i am able to go, then is a good exposure for me as i can also take a chance to visit Jakarta. he he.. cross my fingers, hoping for the best to come!

~ KL Bird Park ~



Last Saturday went to Bird Park, the world largest free-flight walk-in aviary. It is located within the KL Lake Garden. Entrance fee for Mykad holder is RM15 per adult. Various bird species were found walking freely but for those that are big sizes & fly freely, they need to be kept in cages.




Took quite alot of birds photos.. Obviously, they are the main reason for me to visit Bird Park..
Had a chance to observe the egg incubation and how the chicks out from the eggs.
Had a chance to take photo with the feathered friends.. Initially, i was a bit of afraid as i worry they might have a peck on me.. Luckily, they behaved quite well. So, we are satisfied with the results ...
