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....

2016

Setelah sekian lama bersawang .... Harapannya agar tahun 2016 blog ini akan kembali terisi walaupun tidak kerap. Biasalah, medan untuk meluahkan perasaan....Baru perasan, tahun 2015 bermula dan berakhir tanpa sebarang penulisan, huhuhu.... Semoga tahun ini blog ini "hidup" sebagai kenangan buat pemiliknya & mereka yang membaca....

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....

To Do....

There are several things to do before 22nd June 2008. I'm quite busy now with the registration preparation, with everything else too. I did the medical check-up yesterday but the full results (especially some of the tests needed on my urine and blood) are not ready yet. The staff told me to contact Pusat Rawatan Islam Az-Zahrah tomorrow (Wednesday) to confirm whether the remaining results of the blood and urine tests are ready or not before I can come to collect it (must see the doctor again). Alhamdulillah, so far so good. My chest x-ray looks good, no drugs detected in my urine etc. UUM new postgraduate registration will be on the 22nd June (Sunday). Before the registration, I need to fill in several forms, prepare the original copy of all the certificates needed by them (academic transcripts etc.). I also need to obtain the financial affidavit from my sponsors and the letter of release from my organization. I really hope that I'll manage to settle these two important things ...
