Finding articles - online....

I just wanna share my difficuty to find articles related to my study from the online library - particularly at universities in Malaysia. Not to mention that the server is very slow, not all of the articles are available in fulltext because most of the libraries did not have full access to the resources due to the subscription package they chose. In return, what we can access is only the abstract of the articles.

Honestly speaking, this is one of the pitfalls of doing PhD in Malaysia. I hardly face this kind of problem when I was studying at Australia - everything you can get online, and it is very fast....I know the the subscription fees of online databases are very expensive, but it is very important for our country to improve on this in order to attract more foreign students to study here, to enroll in a research-based programs at local universities in Malaysia.

However, I'm glad to have the opportunity to resume my study here in my own country after the "tragic incident" that happened to me. I don't want to cry anymore because life must goes on....I try to forget about it but I can't. Let it be part of my life, the colors of my life. In your life, you can't expect it will always be a bright and sunny day, happy all the time, because sometimes, there will be a thunderstorm, rainy day, and anything that makes you feel sad and down. However, look at the positive side of it and live to the fullest (I'm out of topic now, hahaha).

Till we meet again, tada....

Happy birthday Fida & Aishah....

I really hope that Fida & Aishah will read this entry - especially dedicated to them. I do not prefer sending wishes through facebook or friendster (although I always use the medium) because sometimes it hangs in the middle of posting something etc .The internet connection in Malaysia is not so good, and sometimes facebook and friendster cramps with lots of users (I assumed la since payah nak bukak).... To Fida & Aishah - Happy Birthday Sweet - 28. May Allah Bless you always, may all your wishes will come true. Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to Fida & Aishah, Happy birthday to you....

Isteri Separuh Masa

Novel kedua Sury Ryana yang telah aku miliki & telah habis dibaca dalam masa hanya sehari (less than 12 hours). Nampak tak apa masalah aku skang? Aku memang gila membaca novel & amat cepat membaca novel Melayu. Cuma, untuk menjadi penulis novel tu tak le kot, takde bakat la ;-) Novel Isteri Separuh Masa baru dibeli di Popular Paradigm Mall pada 26 Mei 2012, aku start baca pukul 11.30 pagi 27 Mei 2012 (on the way fetch ayah kat airport & pi kenduri kat BBST), then continue baca masa on the way ke Hospital Selayang, masih khusyuk membaca kat Hospital Selayang & finished off bila sampai umah kat Nilai, before tido jam 10.30 malam.  Apa yang mempercepatkan pembacaan? Jalan cerita yang menarik, persembahannya yang santai tapi still ada unsur yang agak mencemaskan towards the end, gaya penulisan yang bersahaja & dekat di hati ;-) Best, sama jer rasa masa baca M.A.I.D. Kesimpulannya: sebuah novel yang harus dimiliki & dibaca pada masa lapang ;-D To...
