Skop pengajian berbeza, research pn brbeza..

2012-01-28T22:50:00.000-08:00

Reaction..

Salam semua, entri kali ini adalah feedback kepada entri seorang kawan yg kini melanjutkan pelajaran tahap PhD di skul engineering..prbincangan kali ni merujuk kepada skop pengajian yg brbeza dan impak trhadap penyelidikan (cewah, mcam tajuk perbahasan plak)..ok lets face it people, inferens awal yg kita bley buat sebelum menilai adalah "setiap apa jua bidang yg kita ceburi,tak semestinya sama dan takde satu pn indicator utk menilai kesmua bidang"..contohnye;

1) Bidang Sains Sosial: ak ada ramai kawan yg sedang melanjutkan study dlm bidang ni, khususnya bidang social work..kebanyakan research mereka brkaitan dgn perkembangan, permasalahan social..bg ak, skop kerja mereka mudah..hnya perlu buat proposal (secara langsung chapter 1,2 ngn 3 utk tesis dh siap) dan dibentangkan (defend proposal) sebelum ambil data..yg lama tu cuma nk prepare proposal dan tunggu "q" nk defend proposal jek...ambil data and analisis data hanya mengambil masa beberapa bulan sahaja..lepas ambil data, tinggal siapkn result and discussion dan dh boleh siap study..

2) Bidang Sains: yg ni mmg ikut pengalaman ak sendiri..tapi bidang sains tu luas..mcam2 ade..kalau bidang yg perlu buat experiment, yg ni mmg susah..contohnye bidang biologi, kita perlu hasilkan aset penting research kita dl (e.g sel, ternak bakteria, ternak binatang/serangga dulu etc) barula bley study nature/application sesuatu bahan terhadap aset kita ni..kalau aset kita ni rosak/mati tgh2 study,nangis wooo..kene starting over..ok, kalau bidang kimia, kita perlu hasilkan aset kita dahulu (buat sintesis/reaction dulu) baru study macam2 parameter sebelum stdy application yg sesuai..result boleh jadi positif atau negatif..selain tu jugak kne proposed mechanism yg sesuai utk tnjukan tindak balas yg trjadi...dan bagi ak, bidang kimia adalah lebih susah antara bidang2 yg dimana kita perlu buat reaction..

3) Bidang Kejuruteraan: kalau bidang kejuruteraan pulak, mereka lebih pentingkan hasil penyelidikan, efficiency, utili dan sebagainye...reaction masih ada,tp lebih minor..application study mmg lebih, tp kurang penerangan ttg mechanism atau sebagainya..bg org engineering, mechanism tu kurang penting..efficiency bahan atau alat yg mereka hasilkan tu lebih penting..secara amnya, bidang kejuruteraan ini lebih merujuk kepada bidang applied science...masih perlu berusaha keras untuk dptkan result..

4) Bidang Perubatan/Kesihatan: bidang ini juga boleh dikatakan sebagai applied life science..mereka menghasilkan satu ubat/device bagi meningkatkan metabolisme atau mengurangkan risiko penyakit..application study mmg lebih kerana mereka mementingkan efficiency ubat/device yg mereka hasilkan..

pendek kata, stiap apa jua bidang yg kita ceburi ianya memang berbeza dari yg lain dan tentunya istimewa dimata kita sendiri..jgn jadikan bidang yg berbeza sebagai ukuran yea..

Kerja Tambahan Budak Postgrad

2012-01-23T05:00:00.001-08:00

Being as postgrad student can be considered as tough challenge..Not only research work that we have to undergo, but for instance most of our supervisor's work..for example, writing a grant proposal, supervising undergraduate students, buying chemicals or equipments for lab, making a progress report, writing a research paper and etc..that is why most of postgraduate students take such a long time to graduate coz most of the time they wasting their time with these matter+wondering about the research project..some works are not too bad, writing a grant proposal, supervising undergraduate students or writing a research manuscript could make the student firm after they graduate (of course most of they will be lecturers of researchers; some experience dealing with these things would be valuable). Nevertheless, some work could be a burden to the student..writing a grant progress report, making poster/slide presentation, doing experiment for the sake of educated people (u know what i meant..sometimes u could see yourself being used by them)

Well, for most students who used to it, it is just normal, they willing to do it..for me, "nawaitu" and 'sincerity' will be my top priority..but my advise, don't be too "multi-tasking"..

p/s: re-arrange my datas..looking good..hopefully i can publish this work soon =)

Kematangan manusia

2011-12-08T02:50:00.000-08:00

Salam..

Bila duduk termenung sorg2, ak trimbau kembali zaman kanak2ku..ak dilahirkan di kampung (typical Malay village) di bahagian utara Johor (Segamat)..Klau waktu kecil dulu, segala urusan sekolah, mkn, pakaian, duit dan apa sahaja diuruskan oleh kedua org tua ku..Menginjak ke sekolah menengah dan matrik, ak mula belajar berdikari..lebih2 lagi ms duduk asrama..kalau ada urusan persendirian, ak akn uruskan sendiri namun masih bergantung pada mak dan ayah (duit poket, pakaian, kenderaan dan sebagainya)..tapi, sejak melangkau usia awal 20, ak mula berdiri diatas kaki sendiri..segala urusan rasmi, ak yg uruskan..duit, makan dan pakaian ak cari sendiri..ak tak mau digelar 'anak yg menyusahkan org tua' walaupun ak masih belajar dan belum berkerja tetap..

Ak masih ingat waktu ak mula2 start Master, masa tu sgt susah..ak takde keje dan trpksa menumpang dibilik kawan semata2 nk sambung study..bila dpt jdi RA, gaji ak plak lmbt 2-3 bulan..memaksa ak betul2 ikat perut dan pinjam duit kawan..ak tak nk mintk dari mak ayah ak sbb ak sendiri yg ambil keputusan utk smbg belajar..mcam2 keje yg ak buat..lepas balik lab, ak keje jd pembantu klinik (poliklinik penawar) dan hujung minggu ajar tuisyen..dpt la duit sket utk buat mkn, duit minyak moto dan sebagainya..bila dpt GA (graduate assistant) dan biasiswa Bajet mini, br kurang sket penderitaan ak..ms tu hidup agk selesa sikit dan ak ambil bilik sendiri slepas setahun lebih hidup menumpang..kalau ada rezeki lebih, ak kasi duit kat mak..tak bnyak, tp asalkn dia dpt merasa duit dri ak sendiri..

langit tak selalunya cerah, bila ak habis master, ak mengalami konflik diri...ak buntu cari jalan untuk bekerja dan belajar..ak serahkan pd takdir..dgn hanya berkerja sementara sbagai RA di Skul Material Engineering dan guru ganti di SMKBJ, ak tetap dengan pendirian ak untuk sambung belajar dan dlm masa yg sama merancang utk berkahwin..bnyak pahit maung ak terpksa lalui..sampaikn ak asik trmenung sendiri memikirkan nasib..namun, sampai bila asik nk brmenung tanpa buat apa2? ak tawakal pada Allah..ak mintk kerja dibeberapa tempat dan dlm ms yg sm mintk biasiswa MyPhD...yg mana dtg dulu, itu lah rezeki ak..

Seminggu sebelum raya, ak dpt tau yg ak dpt biasiswa MyPhD tu..secara jelas, mencerahkan peluang ak utk smbg belajar dan berkahwin..Mungkin rezeki org yg brkahwin, elaun msuk dan ak dpt merancang sesuatu utk masa depanku yg sgt pasti..dan sekali lagi, ak tak mau menyusahkan orang tuaku..

Ak belajar sesuatu disitu, walau apa jua masalah yg kita hadapi, jgn cepat mengeluh dan mengenang nasib, sebaliknya berusaha dengan apa jua perancangan walaupun kebarangkaliannya kecil..siapa tahu, disitu lah rezeki kita..untuk terus hidup, kita mesti berikhtiar dgn brmacam cara dan bukan hanya duduk bersedih..pertolongan itu akan pasti dtg..yakinlah..dengan yg demikian, barulah anda semua mnecapai kematangan..

p/s: buat yg terbaik utk hari esok..biarlah susah dahulu,senangnya akan dtg kemudian..

Terms in publications

2011-11-16T15:46:00.000-08:00

Salam, hey there..

Just for a recent update, i'm now being a bit busy with the workloads so my free time has been reduce (that is why i rarely updated my blog..haha)..

By the way, in today's entry i'm going to discuss about terms that we seldom heard..
-SCOPUS cited
-ISI (Thompson Reuters)
-Peer-viewed journal
-Impact factor

Let's start with SCOPUS and ISI (Thompson Reuters):

We might wonder and seldom heard about these terms. But do we understand the terms? Ok now, SCOPUS which was launched in November 2004, is the largest abstract and citation database containing both peer-reviewed research literature and quality web sources. With over 19,000 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers, SciVerse Scopus offers researchers a quick, easy and comprehensive resource to support their research needs in the scientific, technical, medical and social sciences fields and, more recently, also in the arts and humanities. This means that i u r able to get a publication, ur manuscript is sometimes can be acess by other people using this database..Meanwhile, ISI Thomson Reuters (formerly ISI) Web of Knowledge is today's premier research platform for information in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. ISI is actually an organization which gathered all research field in one platform..The different between the two is, SCOPUS = database, ISI = website

Next, is the peer-review journals...Peer review is a process of self-regulation by a profession or a process of evaluation involving qualified individuals within the relevant field. Peer review methods are employed to maintain standards, improve performance and provide credibility. In academia peer review is often used to determine an academic paper's suitability for publication and it can be divided into two;

1) Anonymous peer review, also called blind review, is a system of prepublication peer review of scientific articles or papers for journals or academic conferences by reviewers who are known to the journal editor or conference organizer but whose names are not given to the article's author. The reviewers do not know the author's identity, as any identifying information is stripped from the document before review. The system is intended to reduce or eliminate bias, although this has been challenged.
2) Open peer review describes a scientific literature concept and process, central to which is the various transparency and disclosure of the identities of those reviewing scientific publications. The concept thus represents a departure from, and an alternative to, the incumbent anonymous peer review process, in which non-disclosure of these identities toward the public – and toward the authors of the work under review – is default practice. The open peer review concept appears to constitute a response to modern criticisms of the incumbent system; therefore, its emergence may be partially attributed to these phenomena.

Impact factor: often abbreviated IF, is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to articles published in science and social science journals. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field, with journals with higher impact factors deemed to be more important than those with lower ones.

Science master ke Master science??

2011-11-03T07:17:00.000-07:00

Entri kali ni brbincang tentang situasi yg dialami pelajar postgrad skrg.."Science master atau master science?"

Persoalan ni mula dialami oleh pelajar siswazah tinggi (yg buat masters) ketika mereka hampir menamatkan pengajian mereka..Klau dulu ms kita awal2 jumpa dgn supervisor menyatakan hajat nk buat masters, pd awalnye mmg kte ni dikategorikan dlm kelas yg tak tau apa2 (mengenai bidang yg kita akan buat), tetapi selepas 1-2 tahun bertungkus lumus menyiapkan kerja penyelidikan kita, adakah kita betul2 sudah tahu atau "master" bidang yg kita buat? adakah cukup dengan sekadar "kelentong" atau "auta" supervisor kita dan audience yg dgr presentation kita??

Perkataan "master" itu sendiri cukup menggambarkan tahap yg sepatutnya kita capai selepas beberapa tahun brgelumang dgn kerja penyelidikan kita..disitu lah kita timba ilmu melalui pelajaran sendiri (melalui pembacaan jurnal, buku atau apa2 risalah) , nasihat dari penyelia (melalui pengalaman beliau atau pengetahuan beliau), pengalaman masa sedang buat kerja penyelidikan (experiment berjaya atau tak melalui pengubahan parameters), perbincangan bersama pakar dalam bidang berkaitan, senior atau kawan yg buat bidang yg sama dan sebagainya..inilah yg secara tak langsung membuatkan kita "master" dalam sesuatu bidang..

"Master" ni bukan sesuatu gelaran yg diberi dari penerimaan ijazah atau scroll, tetapi gelaran ini kita dapat sendiri secara sulit..sulit disini membawa maksud bahawa kita dianugerakan gelaran ini bukan secara formal, tetapi informal (tanpa kita sedar) setelah kita betul2 pakar dengan bidang yg kita buat..even berapa banyak penerbitan pun belum cukup menggambarkan bahawa orang tu dh betul2 "master"..sebab skrg ni ramai jek org yg "sembang lebat" tetapi natijahnya dia hanya dok pusing2 dan "auta" jek lebih..

Jadi kepada kawan2 atau adik2 yg sedang buat master dan hampir tamat pengajian (tgh tulis tesis/tgh siapkan labwork), adakah kita dh betul2 "master" dgn bidang yg kita buat atau x? adakah kita dh bersedia utk menjawab semua soalan masa viva atau jawab soalan reviewer manuscript kita?? tepuk dada, tanya selera..

p/s: selamat jalan buat "sobat" rapat Nofrizal Syamsudin yg dh selamat pulang ke Indonesia setelah tamat pengajian masters..Selamat Hari Raya Haji kepada semua!!!

Think first before u do anything!!

Some useful chart for critical thinking skills...

Doing higher degree is not as simple as doing lab works and publishing papers, it really deals with your personal on how do you think, decide and react so that your degree is really worthwhile..

Me: Less reading + less thinking + act -----> instant result

Suppossed: More reading + critical thinking + act -----> good result

I should do more reading...

Lot of things i'm dealing now is out of my previous area..

Yeah, and one more thing, i've to do lot of discussion with people in this area..

Doctor to-be = Doctorandus??

2011-10-15T22:28:00.000-07:00

Pengistilahan calon Dr. (Dr. to-be)

Courtesy of PhDComis.com

Entri kali ni agak menarik, sebab mungkin ada ramai yg kurang tahu bahawa trdapat istilah lama yg digunakan utk merujuk kepada seseorang yg bakal mendapat title "Dr." (Dr. to-be)..

Merujuk kepada Wikipedia, Doctorandus (atau ringkasnya Drs.) membawa maksud "a person that should become a doctor" dan diamalkan di Belanda pada zaman dahulu..Konsep "title" ini merujuk kepada sistem "pre-bachelor-master's degree" iaitu selepas lulus peperiksaan utk menjadi calon pelajar PhD (doctoraalexamen) dan selepas tamat ijazah doktor falsafah, istilah Drs. ini dirubah kepada Dr.

Mengikut sumber sahih, kerajaan Belanda telah menggunakan istilah ini yg serupa dengan ijazah sarjana (M.Sc atau M.A)..Terma ini telah dimansuhkan (selepas perjanjian pendidikan Bologna) dan digantikan dengan sistem ijazah sarjana (Masters)..Selain Belanda, Belgium dan Indonesia merupakan antara negara yg pernah mengamalkan sistem yg serupa..Contohnya, di Belgium, calon pelajar pascasiswazah yg sedang membuat kajian PhD digelar "doctorandus" (cth; Drs. Jansen Spitlzberg) dan menukar gelaran itu kepada "doctor" (Dr. Jansen Spitlzberg) setelah secara rasminya mendapat ijazah kedoktoran..Di Indonesia, sistem ini pernah diamalkan dan dimansuhkan pada tahun 1990..Jadi, siswazah yg 'graduate' sblum tahun itu boleh menduduki peperiksaan Drs. dan membawa 'title' Drs. dihadapan nama mereka..

Published article without citation is worthless!!!

2011-09-24T21:49:00.000-07:00

Salam semua..

Entri kali ni akan memfokuskan kepentingan "citation of article" selepas paper kita di 'accept'..

Ok, barangkali ramai yg sedia maklum bahawa penerbitan didalam sesebuah jurnal saintifik bukan suatu perkara yg mudah..Dapat lepas drp tahap genting penerbitan sehingga berjaya memasukkan kerja penyelidikan kita di dalam sesuatu jurnal pn dh dikira bonus (tak kiralah kalau jurnal tu ada impact factor atau tak)..Namun, inti sebenar penerbitan dalam sesebuah jurnal bukanlah brmksd kita dpt masukkan kerja kita dlm jurnal tu, tetapi berapa ramai yg BACA dan berapa ramai yg MEMETIK (cite) hasil kerja kita dalam makalah akademik mereka..Inilah sebenarnya inti kejayaan penerbitan (bukan hanya kejayaan dapat masukkan kertas penyelidikan kita dalam sesebuah jurnal)..

Cuba bayangkan, walaupun kita brjaya masukkan kertas penyelidikan kita dalam jurnal berimpak faktor tinggi (cthnya; Corrosion Science), namun berapa ramai yg menggunakan atau memetik hasil kerja kita utk dijadikan panduan? adakah kertas penyelidikan kita trbiar brhabuk dalam jurnal trsebut tanpa sebarang citations?? Inilah yg brlaku kepada dunia penyelidikan sekarang..kebanyakan penyelidikan tertumpu pada hasil yg sama, dgn hanya mengubah bahan mentah (raw material) yg mungkin belum pernah digunakan..hasilnya, brlaku lambakkan kertas penyelidikan yg mirip antara satu sama lain, mengakibatkan org rmai jarang memetik hasil kerja kita walaupun br publish..

Ada yg bijak mengawal situasi dengan memetik hasil kerja sendiri untuk digunakan pd penerbitan yg seterusnya, namun sampai bila keadaan ini akan brakhir?? Kepentingan penyelidikan zaman sekarang trtumpu pada PENYELIDIKAN BARU, bukan mengolah kajian yg sama dengan mengubah bahan kajian..broaden your mind, you may see others..antara kata2 yg merujuk kita perlu brfikiran jauh (fore-minded) dan tak trtakluk pada benda yg sama..contohnya, kalau kita buat kajian tentang kimia, mungkin kita boleh aplikasikan dapatan kajian tu pada bidang lain contohnya kejuruteraan, modelling, mathematical algorithms atau sebagainya supaya menampakkan KELAINAN dalam kajian kita..barulah kertas penyelidikan boleh dapat "Top 10 hottest cited paper" dan sebagainya..

p/s: Review paper juga antara kertas penyelidikan yg sering dipetik org ramai..tapi sanggupkah kita membaca beratus jurnal hanya untuk mendapatkan satu penerbitan?? Hehe..

Battery Research Group

2011-09-21T04:06:00.000-07:00

Dari kiri: Pidot, Dr. Azmin and Jen...

Salam..entri kali ni khas ditujukan untuk Battery Research Group (based in Engineering Campus, USM)..Seperti mana yg u'all sume tau, ak pernah brkerja dgn Dr. Azmin di Skul Bahan sebagai RA (research assistant) lepas submit tesis master tahun lepas..pada awalnye, ade kisah yg menarik cmne ak boleh get into this lab..sebenarnya, ms buat master dulu ak trtarik dgn research pasal polymer electrolyte lepas dgn talk dari Prof. Frank Walsh (lecturer Uni. of Southampton, UK) ms dia dtg ke skul kimia dulu..mana taknya, kebanyakan teori ttg electrochemistry of polymer electrolyte ni hampir sama mcam corrosion..jadi, ms tu ak sedar yg ak perlu brfikir jauh untuk lebih faham dan dapat lebih bnyak idea drp pengetahuan yg dah sedia ada sekarang..

Alkisahnya, ak google nama lecturer di USM yg ade buat pasal corrosion ms nk cari reviewer utk Journal of Physical Sciences dulu dan ade beberapa nama lecturer yg buat study pasal corrosion instead of SV ak ms tu (Prof. Jain) dan Dr. Afidah..muncul nama Dr. Azmi Rahmat dan Dr. Ahmad Azmin Mohamad...mengikut kata SV ak ms tu, Dr. Azmi Rahmat ni kawan dia n it seem that dia ni jarang ada kt skul bahan..jd ak suggest nama Dr. Azmin as my reviewer disebabkan ms tu ak xde pilihan yg lain (maklumlah, awal2 hantar journal..naif sikit)..

Ditakdirkan Allah, awal 2010 ms ak join Postgrad Colloquium on Material, Mineral and Polymer (MAMIP 2010), Dr. Azmin brtugas sebagai chairperson utk oral session ms ak present..ak ms tu xtau lg yg dia tu Dr. Azmin tp lpas dgr soalan2 yg dia tny brkaitan EIS, ak tau yg chairperson ni bukan calang2 (selama ni, bila ak present, xde org pn tny..mngkin xtau apa yg dibincangkan)..lepas present, Dr. Azmin menyapa ak tny ttg paper ak di Journal of Physical Sciences tu dah publish ke blum..akhirnya, br ak tau yg chairperson tu adalah Dr. Azmin sendiri..

Bermula dari masa tu, ak cuba tgk paper yg Dr. Azmin pernah publish..ak trkejut bila tgk lecturer semuda beliau dah publish bnyk paper brimpak faktor tinggi (J. Power Sources, Corrosion Science, J. Membrane Science dll)..sejak dari tu ak tanamkan cita2 utk brkerja dgn beliau suatu hari nnt..Lepas habis tulis tesis, dlm bulan Julai 2010, ak ada hantar email pada Dr. Azmin dan Dr. Azizan Ahmad (UKM, polymer electrolyte jgk) ttg kekosongan RA walhal sebenarnya ak brniat nak belaja pasal polymer electrolyte dan bateri..Dua2 respond, tp respond dari Dr. Azmin jgk yg ak accept (mgkin disebabkan faktor lokasi..brbanding UKM)..

Brmula dari itu ak kenal dgn Pidot n Jen..dua sahabat baik yg banyak membantu ak ms kat sana..kami brkongsi idea dan ilmu (sharing thoughts and ideas)..sbb kebanyakan diorg kurang mahir asas elektrokimia..jd ak membantu sedaya mana dan diorg jgk bantu ak dari segi kefahaman ttg bateri..lama2, ak fham apa yg diorg buat dlm lab ni (discharge, conductivity dll)..nmpk mudah brbanding apa yg ak alami di skul kimia tetapi memerlukan kerajinan dan idea yg bernas..sepanjang 3 bulan ak disana, bnyk mngajar ak erti kecekalan hidup..meredah hujan sepanjang highway dari kampus induk ke kampus engineering, trpksa bngkit awal pagi dan brtolak awal utk mgelakan hujan, brteduh dibawah flyover ms hujan lebat, kehabisan minyak masa dlm perjalanan dll..ak xkisah sume tu..janji ak selamat sampai dan selamat pulang demi nk belajar ttg bateri..rmai yg tnya nape ak xpindah jek kt sn??..ada sbbnya, yg pertama; ak masih mengajar tuisyen disini dan yg kedua; xde bajet..huhu..maklumlah, penganggur trhormat ms tu..

Namun, jodoh dgn grup ni xlama..disebabkn beberapa faktor; iaitu masalah kewangan dan keluarga yg risaukan status ak skrg..tmbahan pula nk kahwin..disamping perasaan brcampur baur utk kerja atau belajar..sbnrnye, ak sgt segan dgn Dr. Azmin dan kawan2 disebabkan ak xdpt lama disana lepas dpt tawaran mengajar sementara subjek Fizik dan Matematik di Sekolah Menengah Bukit Jambul (Sekolah Kluster Kecemerlangan) yg sgt hampir dgr USM..

Ak cuba sebolehnya utk join balik grup ni, tetapi atas faktor masa kerja yg padat, ak trpaksa lupakan dan mencuba nasib di skul kimia balik..setelah proposal diterima, ak dpt offer letter dan bila tamat brkhidmat di SMKBj, ak trus msuk lab utk start kerja PhD..Alhamdulillah, berkat doa semua, ak dpt tawaran pembiayaan MyPhD dan sekali gus menyelesaikan masalah duit yg membelenggu fikiran ak selama ni..

Ak masih brharap agar suatu hari, ak dpt brjumpa dgn diorg sume trmasuk Dr. Azmin utk memerah otak dan keringat bersama2..insyaallah di lain waktu..

Kurus..

Bayangkan ini adalah anda..

Salam semua..entri kali ini brkongsi pengalaman bagaimana kehidupan seorang pelajar siswazah yg sdg menyambung pengajian dlm bidang Masters atau PhD..

Sejak dari awal persekolahan, kita sudah biasa brcampur gaul dgn kawan2..maklumlah, ms ni la kita kenal dunia n perangai manusia sampai ade kes gaduh2, ketawa brsama atau nangis brsama..namun, bila kita melangkah ke pengajian tinggi, bilangan kwan sgt kurang..paling pn, kita kenal semua org dlm Fakulti atau department..bila naik ke pengajian siswazah, lagi kurang kawan smpaikn pakcik2 lab trpaksa jd kawan kita..

Mungkin, kalau yg jenis pendiam ada kurang sgt kawan..nampak sendiri aje..prgi mkn tghari sndiri, ke library pn sendiri, mana2 pn sendiri..inilah fenomena yg brlaku bila kita brgelar pelajar postgrad..perlu brdiri dgn kaki sendiri sambil fokus dgn kerja yg kita buat sampaikan tak sempat nk merasai kenikmatan brsuka ria..huhu, scary kn..manakn tidak, utk mendapat segulung ijazah sarjana atau kedoktoran memerlukan pengorbanan sebegini..

Jadi, bagi yg merasa diri anda tu sgt sepi, usah risau..anda bebas menikmati hidup ini dgn apa cara skali pn..dgn cara itu, xdelah rs sepi sgt..life as a postgrad student is not the end, but the begining of all excitement!!

Silent Killer..

2011-07-23T22:17:00.000-07:00

V for Vendetta..

Salam semua..still remember this picture? Of course this picture remind us the things happened back last 1-2 months were our country has been 'shocked' by hackers who hacked the Malaysian goverment official websites..Nonetheless, i'm going to discuss this matter in the post but the concept of being a "Silent Killer"..

For IT experts, the term Silent Killer may refer to the computer hackers..But for scientist? Do we have any equivalance with the term Silent Killer? Oh yes, we do have..As for scientist, the term Silent Killer may co-incidentally refer to responding author in a manuscript..How do they act? The author writes an astonishing manuscript that facinate the reader who read it..And in a nutshell, the manuscript become so popular that even most scientist or reader may refer to their statement and quote it as a reference.

The identity? Well, what you will guess..the identity is officially confidential and you will never know the author (is he/she old or young, fat or thin, etc)..haha joking..the same like computer hackers when 14 years old kid has been arrested recently in Southampton, UK in an offense of hacking the SONY Corp. website..he became so popular at his school because of his crime even though previously he might been refer as a shy and quite boy..

Penulisan Makalah Akademik

2011-07-22T04:08:00.001-07:00

Salam semua...syukur alhamdulilah, wlaupn br sahaja brgelar 'PhD student' namun ada perkara yg dpat ak banggakan..Penerbitan makalah akademik (academik journal publishing) yg sekarang dh mencecah ke angka 8..syukur sgt2 pada Allah..pagi ni ada seorang senior kimia yg brtanyakn tips2 penting utk menghasilkan makalah akademik..jadi, tak salah kiranya post kali ini brkongsi ttg bagaimana nk menghasilkan satu makalah akedemik yg bagus dan boleh diterbitkan dalam journal2 trnama..Bak kata diri sendiri, "A research without a publication is just like a book without its cover" ataupun yg paling famous "Publish or perish"..

Sebagai postgrad student, kita sememangnya tak boleh lari dari skop ini..iaitu, membuat eksperimen dan menghasilkan sesuatu penerbitan supaya orang diluar tahu apa yg kita sedang buat..tolak ketepi dulu soalan research kita ni bagus atau x, yg penting bagaimana kita mempersembahkan hasil kerja kita kepada orang ramai..bayangkn, seorang tukang masak yg bila dia dh siap masak dia akan hias makanannya supaya kita berselera utk makan (wlaupun rasa mkanan tu mungkin sedap atau tak sedap langsung)..jadi, pelajar postgrad juga perlu jd seperti tukang masak, mempengaruhi org lain supaya membaca hasil kerja kita...

Ada beberapa perkara yg penting dlm menghasilkan sebuah penerbitan yg brmutu..Pertama, RAJIN (rajin segala macam), rajin buat lab, rajin membaca journal atau buku, rajin brbincang dgn SV atau rakan2 lain..sebab, rajin ni lah yg merupakan core dlm penghasilan journal brmutu..kalau x rajin, ape pn x boleh..haha..Baik, kedua, selepas kita dh buat eksperimen dinasihatkan kita finalize semua data yg ada (lukis graph, buat jadual, calculation value2 yg penting, susun ikut tertib)..Pastikan pada ketika ini semua study yg brkaitan dh pun dibuat mengikut trend study terkini yg ada dlm kebanyakan journal..nanti takde lah reviewer tu komen ckap data ni tak lengkap atau kene tambah study lagi..ape yg penting, buat study2 yg penting sahaja utk justify conclusion kita, bukan main buat aje..

Seterusnya, sampailah ke bahagian trpenting iaitu penulisan manuscript..dlm dunia globalisasi ni, kita memang tak boleh lari dari menghasilkan sesuatu semuanya dalam bahasa Inggeris..ada org ckap, penulisan manuscript ni seperti seni yg kadang2 kita trpaksa bukak kamus utk cari apa mksud ayat tu (trlalu halus sgt bahasanya)..so, kita sbagai org yg memang bkan brtutur dlm bahasa inggeris mempunyai kelemahan..tapi kelemahan tu boleh kita sembunyikan dengan menyenaraikan ayat2 yg biasa digunakan dlm journal..(tips: gunakan highlighter utk gariskan ayat yg biasanya digunakan dlm journal2, simpan dlm satu buku, rujuk buku tu bila nk menulis karya sendiri)..tapi, jgnlah kita salin ayat sebijik2 dari journal yg kita refer tu..rearrange ikut ayat supaya tak brlaku plagiarism..

Selesai menulis, kita serahkn satu salinan kepada org yg memang expert dlm bahasa inggeris yg dinilai..selalunya, org yg plg dekat adalah supervisor sendiri..kadang2 pn SV mintk kita hantar ke org yg betul2 pakar utk check grammar dan susunan ayat..jadi kita mintk tlg sape2 yg pndai bahasa inggeris utk menilai manuscript kita..nanum, kdg2 trdapat kelemahan jugak kalau serah kt diorg ni, iaitu mereka tak boleh faham istilah2 saintifik atau ayat2 yg menerangkan mekanisma tindak balas tu..kalau ada duit, bolehlah serahkan kepada reader (selalunya badan2 penerbitan akan menyediakan servis ini), tapi agak mahal..mungkin satu lembar dia charge USD 50..jadi sebagai alternatif lain, kita boleh minta kawan2 utk translatekn ataupun pakai Google translate jek..

Bila dah habis semak, barulah kita pilih tmpat..pemilihan tempat selalunya brgantung kepada impact factor trkini..namun, utk menerbitkan sesuatu makalah, jgn fikir sgt tentang impact factor..cuba brjinak2 dulu dengan journal yg brimpact factor rendah atau takde impact factor langsung (tapi boleh diakses melalui SCOPUS/ISI-cited journal)..bila dah lepas satu paper kat situ, baru pergi yg tinggi sket dan seterusnya..ape yg paling penting, bila hantar manuscript ni kene bnyk SABAR..mungkin lepas sehari hantar jek trus kene reject, mungkin dah brbulan dia review kne reject sbb ada bnyk comment dari reviewer,mungkin brbulan direview tapi perlu buat pembetulan (revised) sblm boleh diterima..dan yg plg penting, ble dh hantar pada satu tempat, JGN hantar ke tempat lain..nanti jadi pulak isu berat..

Kalau manuscrpit kita direject buat kali yg pertama, jgn brsedih..hehe..cuba baca komen2 yg disampaikan oleh editor atau reviewer..buat pembetulan mengikut komen2 dan cuba nasib lagi sekali..jgn berputus asa..memang sesuatu yg normal jika manuscript kita tu direject buat kali yg pertama..bila dah buat major alteration (termasuk tajuk ditukar) baru kita hantar ke tmpat yg sama atau tmpt lain yg sama taraf atau kurang dari tmpat yg awal..klau rs pembetulan dah bagus, apa salahnya cuba di tmpt brimpact factor tinggi..mgkin dah kurang kesilapan..

Selamat mencuba!!

Budaya yang makin hilang..

2011-05-31T18:11:00.000-07:00

Beberapa bulan ak berada di sini, banyak perubahan ketara budak-budak Melayu yang dapat ak lihat..

- Bahasa, agama, budaya, adap kesopanan dan tatasusila..

Bahasa: Pepatah ada menyebutkan, "Bahasa melambangkan bangsa"..

-Budak-budak sekarang dah tak mau cakap dalam bahasa Malaysia..Itu hakikat sekarang

Agama: Pepatah ada menyebutkan, "Solat itu tiang agama", dan "Agama itu perisai diri"..

-Budak-budak sekolah ni ak tengok sepanjang disini "KURANG" gemar solat di surau sekolah..atas alasan apa pn ak tak tau..dan masing-masing yg datang solat pn "SUKA" solat sendiri walaupn mampu membuat satu jemaah..

- Surah-surah lazim dalam Al-Quraan tak mampu nk hafal..True story, ms ak jg camping ade ramai yg tak boleh hafal Ayat Qursi even Surah Al-Falaq!! Masyaallah..

Budaya, adap kesopanan dan tatasusila: Lari dari imej tipikal Melayu..dah macam orang Barat..

- Tapi, ade jek yg ok...Bukan teguran atau sindiran, sebaliknya muhasabah diri kita.."Berpijak di bumi yg nyata"..Bangsa kita ada identiti tersendiri, siapa lagi yg nk jaga kalau tak kita semua..Fikir-fikirkan

Going to be better..

Peperiksaan Sekolah: Salah Guru atau Pelajar?

2011-05-14T21:05:00.000-07:00

Buku sifir 4 angka...sekarang susah nk cari buku ni lagi..

Antara jawapan humor yg diberikan pelajar..(bukan di Malaysia)

Seperti yg anda semua sedia maklum, minggu ini adalah minggu peperiksaan pertengahan tahun sekolah2 di Malaysia..dan seperti biasa, tugas ak sebagai guru sandaran tak terlatih iaitu menanda berbundle2 kertas soalan pelajar (3 kelas utk fizik, 2 kelas utk math dan 1 kelas utk sivik)..mungkin slepas brgelar guru atau pengajar, baru ak dapat rskn perasaan seorg guru ketika menanda kertas soalan pelajar2nya..brcampur baur perasaan bila tgk jawapan yg pelajar beri...adakah ini semua disebabkan oleh guru yg tak pandai mengajar atau pelajar yg tidak study sebelum menduduki exams?

ak dapat bezakan pengalaman belajar di sekolah menengah (penghujung 90-an hingga awal 2000) dimana pada ketika itu, calculator pun tak dibenarkan semasa menjawab exam..cuma kertas kosong (utk mengira) dan buku sifir 4 angka (utk cari nilai punca, trigonometri, gandaan, statistik dan sebagainya) digunakan utk menjawab soalan matematik, fizik dan sebagainya..sebab tu lah, orang dulu2 memang pandai matematik dan boleh mengira tanpa mengunakan calculator..pelajar sekarang? 1+1 pun tekan calculator...

kalau dulu, pelajar yg mendapat gred rendah akan berasa sangat malu bila keputusan diumumkan dalam kelas...sekarang, mereka relax saja mengatakan "ala, ok la daripada langsung tak ada markah"..masa dulu jgk, pelajar2 gred rendah ni dimarahi atau diherdik sebab tak boleh nk dapat nilai yg bagus..tapi pelajar sekarang, mereka pula menyalahkan guru dengan alasan guru tak mengajar dengan betul..

sebenarnya, guru langsung tak bersalah dalam hal ni...tugas guru cuma menyampaikan ilmu dan tugas pelajar adalah menerima dan mengaplikasikannya semasa menjawab soalan..tugas guru cuma menerangkan teori, manakala tugas pelajar adalah membuat sebanyak latihan tubi dan bertanya jika tak faham..guru tak akan ajar macam mana nk jawab soalan yg spesifik, itu pelajar kene fikir sendiri berdasarkan pengetahuan teori..contohnya, guru disekolah cuma ajar macam mana nk tambah 1+1, beliau tidak ajar macam mana nak jawab soalan 2+1, itu pelajar kena fikir sendiri..

persoalannya, kenapa pelajar kurang perform ketika menjawab soalan? ini kerana penerimaan mereka kurang ketika dikelas..sibuk dengan urusan lain atau memikirkan hal2 lain di luar sekolah..kosentrasi tak ada..dan langsung tak ada minat utk dengar apa yg cuba disampaikan..berborak aje kejenye dibelakang...kalau zaman dulu, duster (pemadam papan hitam) tu dah melayang kena kat pelajar tu..igt lagi zaman ak dl, meja dengan kerusi pn pernah terbang sebab pelajar kurang beri perhatian..pelajar sekarang, ditegur pn tak boleh..lesen mereka yg paling kuat adalah ibu bapa mereka..guru cubit sket, tampar sket atau balun sket dah merengek kat mak ayah..pelajar zaman dulu, kalau kene tampar atau rotan dengan guru disekolah, takut sangat nk beritau kt mak ayah, bukan apa, takut kene balun tambahan dari ibu bapa mereka...sebab tu la pelajar zaman dulu sangat hormat kt guru mereka..nakal macam mana pun, bila nampak guru disiplin pegang rotan menuju kearah kelas, sume pakat diam...

berbalik pada persoalan tadi, sepatutnya pelajar zaman sekarang tak susah nk dapat gred yg bagus..sbb semua informasi ada ditangan mereka..soalan percubaan negeri boleh didapati di internet, nota2 ringkas juga boleh didapati di internet, kalau tak faham boleh guna handphone utk call guru brtanyakan soalan..sepatutnya mereka mudah nk dapat gred yg bagus..zaman ak dulu, handphone pn tak ade, nak cari soalan percubaan kene tanya dgn guru2 subjek kot2 diorg ada, tak faham soalan, guna public phone atau telefon rumah utk call guru, nak dapatkn sumber maklumat lebih kene pinjam buku di library sbb nk beli buku tak mampu..itu antara perbezaan ketara pelajar zaman dulu dan zaman sekarang..org dulu susah nk dah gred yg bagus, dan kalau dapat, memang mereka brusaha sehabis mungkin..pelajar sekarang nk dapat 21 A pn relax jek..dan ak sejujurnya memang tak hairan dengan keadaan ni semua..

p/s: sangat tak sabar utk habis mengajar, pasni trus brsemangat akan buat labwork utk PhD..

2011-05-07T05:24:00.000-07:00

Salam semua...entri hari ni mengimbas kembali zaman persekolahan ak di Sekolah Tinggi Segamat (1999-2003)..Masa zaman 90-an dan awal 2000, STS adalah antara sekolah terbaik di daerah Segamat dan negeri Johor amnya...Brdasarkan rekod cemerlang sejak penubuhannya pada 1926, sekolah ini menjadi impian anak-anak Segamat untuk melanjutan pengajian di peringkat menengah..dan, kerana Sekolah Tinggi Segamat jugalah, ak brada pada tahap sekarang (graduan masters dan juga calon doktor falsafah)...ade beberapa org guru seingat ak yg banyak mempengaruhi kerjaya ak sekarang dan juga peribadi ak sekarang...

1) Cikgu Arbai Samingon: Beliau adalah guru matapelajaran Matematik Tambahan (Add Maths) di STS dl..Brketurunan Jawa dan sangat bangga menjadi anak Jawa (ak pn anak Jawa jugak)..Beliau adalah bekas penanda kertas soalan Add Maths Negeri Johor dan mempunyai lebih dari 20 tahun pengalaman..kerana beliaulah ak sgt suka pada matematik, khasnya Advanced Matematics..Gaya bersahaja beliau ketika mnyelesaikan masalah matematik membuatkan ak truja dengan gayanya..beliau seorang penggemar rokok jenama Benson and Hedges (sekarang dah berhenti) dan gemar menyeluk poket seluar ketika menjawab soalan matematik..Beliau berkelulusan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Matematik dari Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia dan merupakan kawan seangkatan dengan penyelia projek Masters ak iaitu Prof Madya Dr. Mohd. Jain Noordin

2) Cikgu Muzaffar Shah: Berkelulusan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Mikrobiologi, tetapi merupakan guru pembimbing Kelab Rekacipta STS...Beliau brtanggungjawab membawa ak, hazman dan hidayah (3 H) ke pertandingan rekacipta peringkat daerah (Johan) dan negeri (ketiga)..Beliau juga telah merevolusi kegiatan rekacipta di STS sehingga nama STS sentiasa gah dalam pertandingan Roket air, Rekacipta dan Inovasi, Remote control dan macam2 lagi..masih brhubung dengan ak utk mendapatkan idea dan beliau telah menyebabkan ak sekarang sangat minat kepada dunia penyelidikan...

3) Cikgu Siti Maimon: Guru Kelas kami Form 5A dan juga guru kimia kami (Form 4A dan 5A)..brkelulusan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Kejuruteraan Kimia dari University of Surrey, UK...merupakan guru favorite ak ketika sekolah menengah..berjaya membuatkan ak sangat minat kepada subjek kimia sehinggakan rekod cemerlang sejak Form 4 sehingga SPM dengan sentiasa mengekalkan status A dalam apa jua peperiksaan trmasuk ujian..masih brhubung melalui Facebook..

4) Tn. Haji Kadir Rajak: Guru Matapelajaran Matematik Moden ketika brada di Form 5A..beliau juga brjaya membuatkan kami tidak bosan ketika subjek matematik diadakan..sentiasa memberikan idea atau rumus mudah supaya kami dapat ingat dan menyelesaikan masalah matematik dengan mudah..juga brjaya membuatkn ak dapat mengekalkan status A dalam setiap ujian dan peperiksaan (mahupun SPM)..masih brhubung, sebab rumah beliau dekat dengan rumah ak di kampung...

5) Cikgu Siti Hajar: Guru Kelas kami (Form 4A) dan juga guru subjek Biologi semasa kami di Tingkatan 4A dan 5A...seorang yg open-minded..kdang2 gaya bersahaja beliau menyebabkan kami tidak kering gusi...berjaya membuatkan ak minat dengan subjek Biologi..dan ak sentiasa mendapat A dalam setiap apa ujian..(masa tu memang minat bio, nk jd Dr. la katakan..huhu)..beliau juga brtanggungjawab menghantar ak, ina dan hidayah ke Pertandingan Kuiz Sains Nasional, serta menghantar ak, sara dan hidayah ke Pertandingan Kuiz Sains Alam Sekitar...beliau masih di STS dan dah nk pencen..dah lama tak dengar khabar...

6) Cikgu Normah Bahruddin: Guru matapelajaran Fizik kami (Form 4A dan 5A)...beliau berkelulusan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Fizik dan Masters Fizik dari universiti di Amerika..memang hebat speaking English..walaupn dulu kami belajar dalam Bahasa Malaysia..dulu ak memang kurang minat fizik tapi beliau brtanggungjawab membawa ak ke Pertandingan Kuiz Fizik Kebangsaan..anak beliau, Allahyarham Razak (Jack) merupakan kawan baik ak masa belajar Add Math di tempat tuisyen Cikgu Arbai..Razak meninggal selepas kemalangan jalan raya seminggu sebelum keputusan SPM keluar (al-fatihah)..beliau sentiasa berusaha membuatkan kami minat dalam bidang Fizik..sekarang ak dapat rasakn perasaan beliau bila ak mgajar Fizik di SMK Bukit Jambul..tak sangka segala ilmu yg beliau berikan ak masih dapat igt dan gunakan untuk mengajar...beliau sekarang di SMK Seri Kenangan Segamat (sekolah elit)..dah lama tak dengar khabar..

Sungguhpun dimana cikgu2 semua berada, ak sangat trhutang budi dengan jasa cikgu2 ni semua..tanpa diorg, sapelah Mohd. Hazwan Hussin sekarang..Selamat Hari Guru dan Selamat Hari Ibu juga kepada mama, Zabedah Md. Aris yg merupakan bekas guru juga..

Time flies..so fast

2011-05-01T02:20:00.001-07:00

Without noticing, it has been a month and a week i'm in SMK Bukit Jambul...Even though my life now becoming so hectic, but i do enjoy teaching here...sooner or later, it's about a time for me to leave SMK Bukit Jambul to pursue my dream..I'm sure, maybe most of the students are not comfortable with my style of teaching, but believe me, i'm trying as hard as i can to make sure they can absorb all the essence..for instance, teaching is not my profession (i'm a chemist by profession)..but i loved to share my knowledge with all people around me which keep me insane and down-to-earth...goodluck for your exams kids, with all bless..

Salam, hye there..dah lama jugak ak x update entri2 sejak konvo ari tu..nwey, just for ur information, i'm now working as a teacher at SMK Bukit Jambul (bout 5 min from USM).. they assign me to teach Physics and Mathematics since the responsible teacher is on leave (for 3 month)..yup, temporary i'm a teacher...nak cerita tentang sekolah, SMK Bukit Jambul merupakan sekolah cemerlang di Pulau Pinang (sekolah terkawal) dimana pelajar yg mendapat keputusan cemerlang (straight A's) di pilih untuk masuk ke sekolah ini..pendek kata, sekolah budak pandai..hari pertama mengajar, agk susah sket nk sesuaikan keadaan dengan persekitaran yg baru dan pelajar2 (budak2)..pengalaman ak mengajar sebelum ini hanya terhad kepada pelajar undergrad (masa jd Graduate Assistant) and budak Form 4 and 5 (tuisyen)..and mengajar kelas sudah tentunya mencabar..why? sbb disinilah ak boleh ukur kemampuan ak mengawal pelajar n seterusnya menyampaikan ilmu..bercerita pula ttg subject yg diajar (Physics), actually my previous background is Chemistry..tapi dah disuruh mengajar Physics, kenela mengajar wlaupn dah lama tinggalkn Physics...and after few days ni, boleh brtahan lagi..xtau la cmne nnt (hahaha)...by the way, budak2 kt cni panggil ak " Cikgu Hazwan 125 z" sbb ak bawak moto Yamaha 125z..diorg mmg excited tgk pagi2 ak dtg 'rem2' moto...n of course la budak lelaki yg bnyk tnya pasal moto ak...padahal moto buruk jek!!!

hmm, cukup la update untuk hari ni...honestly bdan ni sgt penat sbb pagi2 bangun awal pastu balik ptg..mlm plak part time keje klinik Dr. Akbar n home tuition...i should take some time to rest!!

Alhamdulilah..lepas dua tahun study, Sabtu ni ak layak membawa title "M.Sc" di belakang nama..ramai yg cakap perjalanan master ak sangat cepat..dan alhamdulilah, ini semua rezeki dari Allah..Ak teringat kata2 dari seseorang senior;

"Kebijaksaan tidak boleh diukur dari gred atau CGPA beliau, tetapi kebijaksaan hanya boleh diukur dari bagaimana beliau berfikir secara kritis dan boleh menyelesaikan masalah"

Ak sangat bersyukur kepada Allah..Bukan mudah nak sampai tahap macam ni...Namun, ak belum puas..Ak nk tunjuk kat orang kampung yg orang susah macam ak ni mampu dapat PhD..Bukan nk menunjuk2, tapi nk menyedarkan diorg sume yg orang susah boleh berjaya tanpa bantuan diorg..

Bezoeken tot Atjeh (A visit to Aceh)

2011-02-21T02:46:00.000-08:00

Straits of Malacca..

Last week i spent about 4 days to visit Banda Aceh, Indonesia.. This is my first visit to Aceh and Indonesia as general..Pak Asnawi is the responsible person who brings me here for a first time..We start our journey from Penang early morning (6.00 am) and our first destination is to Kuala Lumpur (LCCT)..A massive construction was still going on at Penang International Airport, and i do think that after it finish, it could receive numbers of international plane to Penang..We are have our breakfast outside the airport (there is a Malay stall) selling local dishes..I ordered a plate of Nasi Lemak and a cup of Teh Tarik and it cost me about RM 6!!!!

Mie Goreng Khas Aceh at Lhoknga, Banda Aceh..Tasty!!

We arrive at LCCT around 9.45 am..and we directly fetch a bus to go to KL Sentral (RM 14 for two ways) and from KL Sentral we take a train to KLCC..Actually Pak Asnawi haven't been to KLCC before, so we spent some time taking photograph around KLCC..It is quite hot nowadays in Malaysia, so we plan to have our lunch early (actually not to early, but we are to hungry!!)..After we arrive at the 2nd floor of Suria KLCC, i realize that my Ringgit notes are running out!!! Damn, it spent to much to change my money into Rupiahs..Fortunately, we still having our lunch there, with only RM 13 remaining..Pak Asnawi buy a bowl of Penang Laksa and a set of chappati..this is the most memorable time with Pak Asnawi where we share our lunch together!!

Masjid Raya Baiturrahman, Banda Aceh with Hadyll (Pak Asnawi's son)

Right after we having our lunch together, we have to go back to LCCT since our flight from LCCT to Banda Aceh will be around 4 pm..After arrive at LCCT, we perform solat jamak takdim before checking in..This is actually my first international flight experience at LCCT, usually i just take international flight from Penang...There is not much problem with the Immigration or Customs for locals, but for foreign, it takes some times..So i have to wait Pak Asnawi for about 15 min before we could hanging around together again inside the airport..haha..

Arrival at Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport..Tired!!

Inside the bording hall, there is Gummy store where we can try the jelly r gummy beads before buying it..so since Pak Asnawi plans to buy something to his children, we take this chance to taste all the gummy beads and pickle..haha..Flight to Banda Aceh takes about 2 hour and we arrive around 6.00 pm (Indonesian time, delay 1 hour than Malaysia)..As soon as i arrive outside the Sultan Iskandar Muda's International Airport, i can smell strong gassoline odor..(because most Indonesian still use a gassoline stove to cook)..Along the way from airport to Pak Asnawi's house (at Unsyiah campus), i was serve with panoramic view of Paddy field and village environment..

Heading back!!!

Our arrival was welcomed by Pak Asnawi's youngest son, Haniff (2 years old) and Hadyll (11 years old)..Pak Asnawi has a huge family (6 daughters and 2 sons) but only 5 were available at that time (Oya, Muna, Ida, Hadyll, Haniff)...They are so close to me and called me "Om Hazwan"..as a retreat, i buy them ice creams just to make them happy..My short visit covers a visit to Masjid Raya Banda Aceh, Kapal Apung (Tsunami historical site), Lhoknga (enjoying the beach and fried noodle), Unsyiah, Penayung..One thing i would say about their food, the food are real delicious and cheap..but if you want to bargain, the price are the same like in Malaysia..Other experience, i enjoying their Tahlil environment, kenduri etc..4 days for me is not enough and insyaallah i would pay my second visit to Banda Aceh next time...

Bukan mudah..

2011-02-11T00:28:00.000-08:00

Bila ak dok trmenung kejap, ak trfikir bahawa bukan mudah untuk ak sampai ke tahap seperti sekarang..sperti entri-entri ak yg lepas, ak bnyk kali cakap yg ak ni bukan lah pandai sangat pun seperti org lain yg boleh petik gred bagus ms belajar..hakikatnya, ak bnyk belajar dari kesilapan..dan itu yg mematangkan ak sampai sekarang..ak memang komited dengan apa pn kerja yg ditugaskan, walaupn kerja sebagai tukang bersih pinggan (dulu merasa kerja kutip pinggan di KFC)..ak mmg sgt jeles dgn keluarga org yg mampu sbb anak-anak mereka tak perlu fikir tentang sumber kewangan, asalkn diorg nk belajar..ak pula hidup brdikari diperantauan..nk mkn nasi mesti cari duit walau kerja apa sekali pn..ak brsyukur pada Allah kerana mengurniakan ak hati yg sgt tabah walaupn ak kdg-kdg tak sanggup menanggung beban yg dtg..ak sgt menghargai ilmu yg masih kekal dlm kepala ak sbb dengan ilmu yg ada ni ak mampu hidup brdikari dan boleh cari duit walaupn tak bnyk (cukup untuk makan jek)..ak igt lagi cerita2 org bijak pandai sekarang tentang masa silam mereka ms study dl..kebanyakkan mcam pe yg pernah ak lalui (mungkin ms dulu tak ramai org yg senang)..skrg ni ak memang berasa tidak adil untuk brsaing dengan mereka dan kebetulan advantage (dari segi gred dan duit) ada pada diorg..ak hanya brbekalkan pengalaman dan pengetahuan yg tak seberapa utk brsaing..honestly, ak skrg sedang menempuh keadaan sukar (walaupn dah habis master) samada brkerja atau sambung belajar..

p/s: mood down sket..

Interview di AMREC (Advanced Material Research Centre), Kulim

2011-02-09T18:44:00.001-08:00

Di luar bilik sekritariat AMREC...calon-calon tengah tunggu panggilan

Di luar perkarangan Jalan 2/3 Kulim Hi-tech...AMREC is just opposite INTEL and beside MIMOS

English essay writing test...

Along the Highway BKE (Butterworth Kulim Expressway)..

I love to see it green!! (paddy field)

Interview went well..but i don't put a high hope on it..(underdogs..haha)..no, it just because the position applied for fresh graduate (as far as i concern, they only ask a degree qualification only), whilst i'm too advanced to apply that position (MSc graduates; that's what they said)..but honestly it is my first arrival to Kulim Hi-tech and i was amazed by how Kulim turns into a massive material place!! theres a lot of semiconductor factories, solar cells, computer gadgets, research centre and all based to material research!! hoopefully, insyaallah i will pay my second visit there again (it got lucky la..haha)

p/s: just went to temporary hiatus for PhD study, because money is important nowadays maa, if not tak dpt la nk kahwin tahun ni jugak!!

Finally!!!

2011-02-01T05:09:00.000-08:00

Finally i've submitted 3 copies of my M.Sc thesis...feels like healing from all burden carried on my shoulder...I'm planning to further my studies, but in the same time, i've to think how to get more money..so that i could save some for my wedding (sponsors are welcomed!! =))..

By the way, let us pray to all the flood victims in Johor, especially in Segamat, my hometown..Mum called me this morning saying that it is the worst flood that most of Segamatians have experience..Hopefully, the city could recover from the mess resulted from the big flood..amin..

p/s: I'm taking a break for a few weeks since viva..it such a long days i haven't meet Dr. Azmin..huhu..maybe next week i will plan to go to Eng. campus and discuss about some serious things..

Catching up!!

2011-01-18T21:38:00.000-08:00

Smlm (18/1/11) merupakan hari yg brsejarah buat ak kerana dengan rasminya ak layak membawa kelayakan M.Sc dlm profile diri ak...yaa..ape lagi, semalam merupakan hari dimana segala penat lelah ak membuat research dan belajar trbayar..tp sebelum trbayar mestilah ada harga dulu n harga tu kalau kte pndai tawar-menawar, kte ak puas dgn barang yg kte beli..harga disini bermksd seminar viva dan barang yg dimaksudkn tu adalah ijazah sarjana (masters)...

Mengimbas detik ketika seminar viva semalam, ade bnyk yg ak sesalkan..penyesalan yg paling nyata adalah, ak xdpt nk menahan emosi ak ketika brtubi-tubi komen yg diutarakan..sebenarnye viva semalam ok, sume examiner brsetuju bahawa research yg ak buat mencapai objektif sehingga menghasilkan beberapa jurnal..Soalan berkaitan fakta teoritis dan data tak bnyk diajukan..kata mereka dah lengkap dan tak ada apa yg nk dibangkang..namum, emosi ak agak trganggu ketika internal examiner memberi komen yg agak pedas tentang susunan ayat dan bahasa yg ak gunakan..brtubi-tubi..di page ke page lain..sampai ak trfikir yg ak menghasilkan tesis atau novel inggeris yg bnyk kritikan nya..

Wlau bagaimanapun, ak sedar yg tak semua insan tu sempurna..even kalau hebat sgt pn research, belum tentu org akan faham apa yg kte ckap kn...semalam ak agk stress ttg hal tu, tp hari ni ak fikir balik yg semua tu adalah antara asbab bagaimana ak nk jadi insan yg lebih kamil..mmg x dinafikan, org brdarah jawa macam ak ni tak mampu nk mengarang english dengan baik, namun ak dah brusaha..biasalah ade merah2 dlm tesis tu..

Tarikh akhir utk submit 3 copies sbnrnya 6 bulan dri sekarang..tp oleh sebab ak kn mengejar konvo bulan 3 ni, ak mesti hantar sebelum 31hb ni...harap2nya ak sempatlah hantar...moral from the story; wlau apapn yg brlaku, kte mesti tenang menghadapinye..kalau xtenang, jdla stress...

Goodluck Mohd. Hazwan Hussin!!

2011-01-11T04:04:00.000-08:00

Update: Br jek menyiapkan Research Manuscript untuk dihantar ke Corrosion Science (IF: 2.3), ada st lg journal yg menunggu utk di"alter" (none other than journal Zn-MnO2 yg diberi boss mggu lpas utk ak btulkn)..phuff..nwey, mggu dpn ak akn mnduduki peperiksaan oral M.Sc ku (VIVA)..so, mggu ni kne prepare something n ak dah mintk cuti dri boss, he said ok..haha...

Saya Melayu juga!!

2011-01-07T17:42:00.000-08:00

Mantan Perdana Menteri Malaysia Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad pernah menyuarakan kebimbangan beliau kepada masa depan org melayu dlm bukunya "The Malay Dilema" serta puisi "Melayu Mudah Lupa". Bukan beliau saja yg memikirkan masa depan org melayu yg tak menentu. Sejujurnya, ak merasa bertuah kerana lahir sebagai seorang melayu (walaupn brdarah campuran Melayu Patani di sebelah emak dan Jawa di sebelah ayah) dan bragama Islam. Natijahnya, ak sendiri memikirkn perkara yg sama iaitu masalah org melayu. Ramai orang melayu yg lancang brsuara ketika kaum lain mempersoalkan "Ketuanan Melayu" atau dasar "Keistimewaan Melayu" sampai brperang mulut dan brgaduh. Hakikatnya, masyarakat melayu zaman kini hampir musnah disebabkan sikap org melayu sendiri. Apa tidaknya, kita lantang brsuara kalau org mempersoalkan hak kita, tp pada masa yg sama kita sendiri brsikap buruk sesama kita. Contohnya, cuba kita pergi ke pejabat kerajaan atau pejabat pihak berkuasa tempatan yg rata2 nya di jawat oleh org melayu. Kalau ada urusan yg memeningkn kepala mereka, mereka lantas marah tanpa menggunakan adap yg sopan. Cuba kita lihat kaum lain, Cina dan India..Wlaupn mereka ni bukan brsaudara, tp mereka sama2 menyelesaikan masalah dengan cara yg baik. Ak tak faham bahasa Tamil atau Mandarin, tp dari intonasi percakapan mereka jelas membuktikan mereka beradap dan membantu sesama bangsa. Tak macam kita.

Orang melayu juga sangat terkenal dengan sikap suka mengkritik. Ini tak boleh, itu tak boleh..Tp kalau sampai diri sendiri, semua boleh..Peliknya sikap org melayu ni kdg2 macam ombak..sekejap tinggi dan sekejap rendah..tak ada jati diri atau pendirian yg kukuh..Sebab tu la bangsa lain mudah take advantage keatas kita!!! Oh ya, melayu juga sgt terkenal dengan sifat malas..buat kerja pun macam melepaskan batu ditangga..lepas tu brmegah dengan kerja yg tak seberapa tu...sy yakin org melayu yg baca blog ni pn ak brfikir bahawa kita juga sama dengan yg lain..malas dalam segala hal..kita kutuk org cina tak mandi pagi, tp kita yg mandi pg ni lepas datang kerja pergi minum teh dl, ngular...masa boss pnggil pn terhegeh2 dtg..cuba kita tny boss2 kita, kaum apa yg bnyk sekali kes2 memeningkan kepala..jawapan nya msti org melayu..

skrg ni,banggakah kita sebagai melayu kalau kita sendiri yg menghancurkan ms depan bangsa kita?? fikir-fikirkn la wahai keturunan melayu..

Originality in PhD

2011-01-05T03:46:00.000-08:00

As cited from "So you want to get a PhD" by Dr. Kamarul Zaman Ahmad:

What does "original" actually mean in the context of a PhD? Well, originality can comprise of any one or more of the following items;

1) Carrying out empirical work that hasn't been done before

2) Making a synthesis that hasn't been made before

3) Using already known material but with a new interpretation

4) Trying out something in this country that has previously only been done in other countries

5) Taking a particular technique and applying it in a new area

6) Bringing new evidence to bear on an old issue

7) Being cross-disciplinary and using different methodologies

8) Looking at areas the people in the discipline haven't looked at before

9) Adding to knowledge in a way that hasn't been done before

p/s: cuba berfikir sejenak, adakah kita dah mencapai salah satu dripada matlamat diatas?

Menjelang perlawanan akhir Piala AFF Suzuki antara Malaysia dan Indonesia yg bakal brlangsung di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil (26/12) dan Stadium Gelora Bung Karno (29/12), media hangat mengatakan pertembungan antara dua rival ini. Bosan jugak ak dengar roomate ak ari2 pasang Metro TV News...ari2 nk kutuk Malaysia ni sebagai pencuri (maling) kepada kebudayaan negara diorg seperti batik, tarian pendet, lagu Terang Bulan, lagu Rasa Sayang eh dan macam2 lagi..persoalannya, nape media Indon sengaja nk mencetuskan perasaan geram dan marah pada bola sepak?? cuba fikir secara logik dan secara orang yg brtamadun, perlukah nk kaitkan bola sepak dengan perselisihan faham negara?? stupido...org2 indon yg dtg blaja kt sini diberi biasiswa, keamanan, kerja dan brmacam lagi..knapa perlu emosi sgt2 samapai nk ganyang malaysia?? ak ade ramai kawan orang indon, jgnla smp hubungan baik ni trjejas..

p/s: bosan dgr Metro News TV n Kompas..wtf media indon

Kalau ada peluang, jangan jadi malas!!

2010-12-14T04:36:00.000-08:00

Ak teringat masa buat FYP dl, masa tu ak xmampu ada laptop sendiri (ak bkn jenis yg suka paksa family ak beli itu ini..)..so, ms nk tulis tesis ak pn trpaksala menumpang tulis kt laptop kwn2 ak, senior2 ak n tunang ak...actly diorg pn kne tulis jugak, tp ak akn tny diorg bek2 dl waktu diorg xguna..kalau diorg ksk, ak pnjm la..wlaupn trpksa brsengkang mata tulis tesis tgh2 mlm (sbb waktu tgh mlm diorg xguna..), ak sgt brpuas ati ble dapat A utk projek FYP ak..ak dpt laptop pn ble dah start buat master, hadiah dari ayah n mak lpas ak konvo...

Begitu jugak ms tulis paper..waktu awal2 ak mula menulis paper, ak cuma try hantar ke journal2 tempatan (Journal of Physical Science)..alhamdulilah, percubaan pertama trus diaccept n ada minor alteration jek..So, ak cuba trus ke journal impact factor tinggi utk result yg lain(Electrochimica Acta)..br satu minggu dah kne reject sbb scope research ak xsesuai ngn journal (kate editornya..)..Pastu ak hantar ke Corrosion Science, kne reject jgk (sbb katanya english xbest)..then, ak hantar ke Material Chemistry and Physics..masa tu dah 4 bulan paper ak direview..tp yg paling kecewa sbb editor trpaksa reject sbb comment dri reviewer pertama bnyk yg against wlaupn reviewer kedua ckap ok..sedih ms tu (yea la, dah 4 bulan..mmg brharap sgt accept..)..tp dari situ ak dipujuk oleh Dr. Jain..walaupn dia xpernah beri tunjuk ajar cmne nk tulis n hantar paper, tp sokongan moral dia yg buat ak jd brsemangat.."takpe Hazwan, kamu tengok balik comment tu n baiki mana yg boleh..pastu hantar lagi"..Dr. Jain mmg sorg yg sibuk (dia Timb. Dekan Jaringan Industri) n xde ms nk check paper ak, dia mmg brharap ak boleh 100 % brdikari..selang satu minggu ak betulkan n tambah bnyk fact (ms tu dah diperingkat akhir tulis tesis..so bnyk yg ak cut n paste ke dlm paper tu..) n hantar ke Material Chemistry and Physics semula lepas 60 % alteration dri yg asal..tajuk pn tukar, suggested reviewer pn tukar..alhamdulilah, ms raya ak dpt berita baik (ada comment tp minor..) n ak brnazar puasa kalau paper ni accepted lpas hantar revised manuscript..sebulan pastu, dah accepted..

Macam tu la kehidupan..bila mana ada kemahuan, mst ade jalan..tp yg plg pntg, "JANGAN MALAS"...ak prnah brpesan pada adik kecik ak (stdnt final year Food Tech UPM) ble laptop dia rosak n merungut suh beli laptop baru.."adik, ko tau x dl, ak FYP tulis tesis pn pinjam laptop org or buat kt CC..bkn nk suh ko galak meminjam, tp kn ade ikhtiar lain selain beli baru.."..dan syukur laptop dia dah ok lpas dibaiki..ade jugak org yg suka brmegah2 ckap dia seorg student master, tp ble ak suh tulis paper, awal2 dah ckap xnk..ble ade org volunter nk buatkn pn sikit pny liat nk ksk soft copy..smp nk kne paksa2..

p/s: Kalau malas, apa pn xkn menjadi..as a result, kte xkn dpt ape2...fikir2kn la..

Don't let 13 May re-occur..

2010-12-05T02:25:00.000-08:00

Namewee...Half people love him while another half hate him so much..

I just wondering if there is a place where nobody do a stupid things as an expression to their feeling..In every country, we could never escape from racial-things problem..Just name it, no other country who never faced this problem..As we all agreed, Malaysia was build from multi-rational people (major races: the Malays, Chinese and Indian) created by the notorious Britain. Despite all this, before Merdeka, the Brit starts to introduce Identity Card (or I.C) for all citizen as a strategy to fight against communism..Since then, we can't argue that this country are belongs to a single race (that is the Malays) and what did the Brit worried so much besides their importance in British Malaya (tin, rubber, palm oil, gold) are the UNITY of all races. Hence, Tunku Abdul Rahman (former Prime Minister) meet all races leader and unite to convience the Brit..12 years after the independence, Malaysia was shock by a tragic race riots (or known as Peristiwa 13 Mei)..People killing each other for no specific reasons (http://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristiwa_13_Mei).. I really didn't want this things happen again..In contrast, eventhough nowadays there is no killing, but sadly people from all races trying to condemn the constitutional laws of Malaysia..As cited from malaysiandigest.com, Namewee (pronounce as Nem-wee) and Siti Inshah (principal of SMK Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, Kulai), both creating a racism statement verbally...As a result, both Malays and Chinese keep arguing each other and no longer respect the diverse culture as a Malaysian...I'm strongly opposed racism, so that other people..So stop arguing, stop doing stupid things, watch your words, don't settle things emotionally and let just live happily and together build Malaysia as a leading multi rational nation..

Rabun dan migrain

2010-12-01T05:26:00.001-08:00

Sejak akhir-akhir ni ak sgt kerap diserang migrain...mengimbas kembali kejadian pertama ak diserang migrain adalah masa Form 4..mmg ms tu ak xjg waktu belajar, mkn and tmpat belajar...itu juga adalah punca nape ak dah brmata empat sekarang...migrain mnyerang x kira waktu n tempat...antara tanda-tanda kene migrain yg penah ak alami adalah sakit kepala yg tramat sgt (macam kepala ni diketuk dgn tukul), sakit tengkuk sblah kiri atau kanan, penglihatan yg jd kabur smpai rasa trpaksa kecilkn mata and sakit bahu...ak still igt lagi, ms skolah dl kalau ak diserang migrain ms tbe2 jek..pg tu sihat jek gelak2, pastu tbe rs mcam tegkuk ni ditarik n pening yg trlalu sgt...so, ak akn cabut skolah awal n balik umah mrenggek kt mum ckap sakit...even tdo bukanlah ubat yg trbaik utk migrain...kalau pening2 lalat, tdo jek dah cukup utk pulihkn pening tu...kalau org migrain ni dah biasa telan Panadol Actifast atau Ponstan 500mg (Mefanamic acid) yg merupakan analgesic utk migrain disamping minyak cap kapak yg disapu kt tengkuk...cara pemakanan atau alergik pd bau wangi juga boleh myebabkan migrain (Sumber: Wikipedia, migrain)...Mmg btul kata Dr., klau kte kerap diserang migrain, mata kte makin lama makin rabun..mata ak pn dah jd rabun teruk...rsnye power dah approaching -400 kot...jd pesanan pd korg sume, jg la pemakanan n membaca la ditempat terang..

How to write a paper (Part 2)

2010-11-27T19:22:00.000-08:00

continued from previous..

Introduction must be consise and not to long (average 3-4 paragraph, but sometimes it depends on the length of the manuscript); For better understanding, below are some criteria that can be considered in introduction:

Paragraph 1: State the current issues related with your work (e.g. News-cover or current agenda). Tell a brief story about your raw material used or previous studies.

Paragraph 2: Explain why your raw material are used in the studies (e.g. the mechanism or physical/chemical properties, the accepted range, special features).

Paragraph 3: Suggest the reasonable mixture to obtained a maximum value of efficiency (if any) and give reference from previous studies.

Paragraph 4: State the objectives, analysis or characterization method, parameters (conc, pH, temp, pressure, dope percent etc).

EXPERIMENTAL

In this chapter, the author should list down all the methodology, equipment setting, range, related equations (if theres an equations, please make sure that you give an explanation about the abbrevations or symbols) in past-active tense. Usually, in experimental, the author shouldn't tell any observation happen eventhough it is important. Consider that you didn't expect what will happen (e.g. The solution were shaken using orbital shaker (IKEA, Sweeden) at 300 rpm for 1 hour until the colour changes to brown...wrong).

Try to avoid by adding reference or citation in this chapter. But, you may add them due to some reasons, for example, the process that you're working with is a repeatable/comparison method with slight modifications (e.g. Extraction of ABC plant was done using the extraction method suggested by John et. al [1] with a slight modifications..). The suppliers name and origin of the country must also be write (e.g. ...an exact amount of 1 g potassium perchlorate (Merck)....the FTIR analysis (Perkin Elmer 200, UK) was performed in order to..). The best practise in wrinting this chapter is to divide each analysis in a sub-chapters. This will make the author's job easy while describing the phenomenon in the next chapter (Results and discussion).

How to write a paper (Part 1)

2010-11-09T07:38:00.000-08:00

Based on my true experience, i would like to share with all of you on how to write a research paper..huhu..i'm not saying that i'm good at it, but i think it would be good to share with..

What you need before submitting a manuscript??

1) Cover letter
2) Manuscript
3)Figures
4) Tables

we will go through each subtopics in detail; First, lets start with a manuscript..

How to write a good research manuscript??

1) Lots of journals/papers/books related with your research (for citation)
2) Orders must be accordingly (Abstract, Intro, Experimental, Result and discussion, conclusion)
3) Language/the flow

In order to write a good manuscript, first things that must come across is that your work contains a lot of well-arrange data and new study have been done just to make your work more interesting (easier to be accepted). Sometime i know that we have a lot of thing to tell but how to explain it on a piece of paper??

You can start by using a proceeding papers (papers that was sent in any conference) and modify it or else you can start with a fresh one. Beware..Don't start with an abstract!! You must point out what are the subtopics that you have and correlate them to write intro and experimental.

INTRODUCTION

An intro must be short and tells briefly about your raw material, historical part, previous related study and objectives of your work..

p/s: family first..

It's just unfair for me....

2010-10-25T04:44:00.000-07:00

Hello there..everyone should be wondering why i pursue my studies until the highest level..the answers are quite simple, it is because i really love to gain more knownledge and at the same time i want to be better from my previous background...I'm not from a welthy family, my father do some self work while my mother is an OKU (org kelainan upaya; got stroke few years ago)..Ever since i finished my bachelor degree, my mum always said.."go to work, and help mum and dad.."..but i convienced them saying that pursuing studies will promise a better life..and they agreed...at initial during my master's degree studies, i suffer a lot..i still remember, i've to squat in my friend's room almost a year before i able to get a room..i do a part-time job (clinic assistant, tutor, driver) just to collect money and pay the tuition fees..i've experiencing eating a loaf of bread with a maggi me soup as my dinner..i also experiencing sleeping on floor while squating in my friend's room..and alhamdulilah, i got sponsorship from MOHE and USM pays me as a graduate assistant..i strugle to finish up my master's degree early and hatched few papers in well-known journals..i just hope maybe this is just the begining and i can easily do PhD after this..but things went wrong...this year and next year, the goverment decreased the financial support to university and limit the numbers of scholarship appliant..the effect?? of course the student, like me....i didn't score well in my undergraduate studies...but it's enough for me to do a master..so of course i wouldn't able to apply any scholarship offered..i have tried, but still no answer..the things is...it's just unfair....eventhough my CGPA are not as good as those who converting to PhD, but i can prove them that i can do work!!! I publish numbers of paper and have a well knownledge about my field..even the best student during undergraduate also didn't perform as i do...but they can easily get sponsor or financial support...maybe if there is no other option, i guess i have to forget about PhD for a moment...

Raya celebration..

2010-10-04T20:40:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday Dr.Jain invited all of his workers to gathered at his Raya open house..Most of our labmates were coming even though some can't make it (Hairul Safley, Rozaini, Tan Kang Wei, Tzy Shan)..As last few years, Dr.Jain prepared most of Malay food dishes (lots of them and i think all of you can imagine what are the common food rite??) together with their family's favorite which is kuih bingkang and talam pulut..Over the years, it is like a yearly event for me to come over to his open house and sadly this would be my last visit together with labmates..(for some reasons, i will miss he (Dr.Jain) and his family)..While spending time chatting with him, Dr.Jain encouraged me to further my PhD studies and don't think much about financial support (how could i?? everything needs money!!)..but truly, if theres a chance there must be a way to commit rite..

Last week also i meet my new SV at Material School..Dr.Azmin seems to be very nice and very warm..he and his student treated me well during my first visit..current project that was discussed mainly about batteries and to be more specific, Zn-air batteries..he give my few handout regarding on this project to make a better understanding about the basis of this research..other information, i've to search on my own..but it's ok, nama pn PhD candidate..so, 95 % of my work would be from me..and not him as he generally speaks..next week i've the second meeting with my new boss..i was invited to attend his seminar on Thesis Writing..so, that all update from now..bye-bye

Jalur Gemilang dibakar dan dihina...

Aksi ahli demonstrasi membakar Jalur Gemilang...

Sudah bara lagi kan marak..begitulah yg trjadi dengan ketegangan Republik Indonesia dan Malaysia dalam menangani pelbagai isu sensitif.. Tindakan ini brikutan penahanan 3 penjawat Jabatan Kelautan Indonesia oleh Polis Diraja Malaysia di perbatasan Bintan..Keadaan jelas kritikal bila mana pertubuhan Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (BENDERA) melakukan demonstrasi memprotes tindakan Malaysia..Jalur Gemilang dibakar dan najis dilempar ke Kedutaan Besar Malaysia di Jakarta..

Ini sekali gus menimbulkan ketegangan antara dua pihak sehingga Menteri Luar Malaysia, Dato' Sri Anifah Aman brkata Malaysia brkemungkinan akan mengeluarkan Travel Adversory (TA) untuk menghalang warga malaysia ke republik itu buat sementara waktu...

Diharapkan perbincangan dua pihak yg bakal berlangsung 6 September ini bakal mengamankan suasana yg dah sedia tegang..

I really miss her...

2010-08-21T22:12:00.000-07:00

The worlds greatest mum..

This Ramadhan, it has been 4 years since my mother got stroke. Our family life turns other way around from that point. No one except my father do the household chores, cooking, washing or else. At first, we felt it was to hard for us. The most tragic time are during Hari Raya..Since that, we wouldn't able to taste mum's cooking..Others think that we can't make it through but we denied it thou. We try our best to make mum happy even she's always sad thinking what are going to be if she's couldn't do anything. I was stubborn back before..Mum always complained about me or others (my siblings) because we were bit lazy to do household and she do it all her self. Every cloud have its silver linings..Now, we have to take care everything all of our own..not mum..she's just watching us and argued if something went wrong, but she can't do anything..mum sometimes cried for no reason..she said she's very sad because of loneliness..this morning mum called me..she asked me about how's my puasa..i said, it just fine..breaking fast at any nearby mosque and solat terawih before i ended my day laying on bed and wait for sahur time..she cried..she said why i'm not buy something for break fast instead of going to the mosque..i just answered, i want to keep my money for engagement and buy stuffs for her so that she can celebrate Hari Raya happily..she said, if she able to move her hands, maybe she will cook some of our favorite food to eat during hari raya or buka puasa...i really miss my mum...i want to finish fast so that i can payback all the past-hard-time.

saje2 xde keje bwat bnd ni...tp pnah kah korg trfikir, dizaman serba canggih ni dapat ke korg cari identiti korg snediri atau org lain cari identiti korg..hmm, skrg ni dgn internet sume jd mudah..ak pnah tringat cte Wanted (lakonan James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie n Morgan Freeman) dimana lelaki bernama Wesley Gibson ingin mencari siapa diri dia sebenar n sape parents dia..salah satu scene yg korg bley tgk dlm cte tu adalah Wesley search nama dia sendiri dlm Google n langsung xde results pasal nama dia...

soalan cepu emas, ape yg korg akan buat bila tbe2 korg hilang ingatan? mungkin internet merupakan salah satu bahan yg bley recall semula memori korg semua..tp..cmne nk pastikn bahawa nama korg akan muncul dlm layar skrin ble ditaip?? jawapan nye mstilah korg kne kumpulkn maklumat yg trdaftar secara online..Facebook, blogspot, atau friendster mungkin boleh..bagi ahli academic, publication journal merupakan maklumat yg trpenting bila data simpanan hilang atau trlupa..sbb tu la kalau taip jek nama lecturer, brratus2 hits yg kluar...macam mana plak kalau kita ni bukan academician?? kte bukan lah artis atau pelakon movie yg kalau di taip jek nama, bratus malah bribu hits yg muncul..jadi, ape solusi nya?? sama2 la fikirkan yea...

p/s: apela yg ak mngarut ni, dah la mata sebelah lebam sbb brape ari ngadap laptop..hidung plak bisul..adoi3..tesis, tesis, tesis

Sebahagian student PhD and MSc Kimia USM yg hadir

Kak Apai, Kak Bed and Kak Nani..Senpai2 yg meraikan kejayaan diorg

Kek yg dibedal..

Hari ni ak dijemput utk dtg ke majlis makan2 sempena kesyukuran senpai2 (Kak Apai, Kak Bed and Kak Nani) yg dah anta 10 copies tesis setelah usaha keras mereka selama 3 tahun..Majlis mmg meriah dgn kehadiran kwn2 PhD n Master yg sm2 meraikan kejayaan diorg...Deep in my heart, ketiga2 senpai ni sbnrnye berikan ak smangat n nasihat utk continue master pas bis degree dl..kalau la diorg xde kt USM ni, ak rs kmungkinan ak pn xsmbung master...Kak Nani bnyk tlg ak ms ak bwat final year projek bwah SV yg sm (Dr. Shafida yg skrg dah Assoc. Prof kt UIA)..Kak Nani bnyk beri nasihat kt ak cmne nk continue master kt USM ni, cmne nk kumpul duit utk bayar yuran, cmne nk apply GA, bwat NMR, bwat quotation chemical n segala macam..ak pn igt gak dl ms bwat final year dok smp tgh mlm bwat rxn ditemani Kak Nani, Mohd Hadi n Kak Izah..dl pn ms dok lab organic, ktorg bnyk plan bwat mkn2 n jln2..mmg knangan yg xleh nk lp smp ble2..Kak Nani jgk dl hired ak jd helpers ms ICYC 2008 n skali ak present projek ak kt sn..ni la conference pertama yg ak g present n pngalaman yg ssh nk lp jgk...

Kak Apai plak bnyk gle bntu ak ms final year n ms master..ktorg bwat dlm bidang yg sm iaitu corrosion inhibition of metal..dl mmg ak "bodoh piang" (org utara ckap) pasal corrosion ni..ak sndiri ms final year xtau sgt ape tu Icorr, Ecorr, Rp, Ba/Bc n segala mak nenek pasal corrosion..dl pn ak xtau gak cmne nk setup instrument (almaklum la dl ms final year, Kak An yg tlg run kn sample ak) even ms ak mula2 start master, ak xtau cmne nk run potentiodynamic polarization...Kak Apai la yg ajar ak dari A smp Z ttg experimental corrosion ni..smp kn nk jg electrode pn dia ajar...yg plg ak igt, ms awal2 ktorg bwat research psal EIS (ms tu blum ade lg yg pnah bwat EIS kt USM ni)..ms tu ktorg brtungkus lumus sm2 ngn Dr. Jain (my SV) try n cari ape setting yg optimum..last2 brjaya jgk..n ktorg msg blaja sndiri teori pasal EIS ni utk di explain secara kimia ape yg brlaku..

Kak Bed plak, eventhough ak xpnh bwat lab skali ngn dia, tp Kak Bed yg ak knal ms ICYC 2008 dl mmg bnyk tlg ak dlm melancarkn lg majlis BBQ Postgrad Kimia dri taun lpas smp la taun ni..

Ble senpai2 yg plg otai ni dah siap anta tesis, semangat ak utk abiskn tesis pn mkin kuat..Farhana pn dah ajak ak bwat majlis yg sm..tp ak blum abis tulis lg, xmacam dia yg dah bis tulis n cuma perlu bwat correction sblm anta 10 copies..ak akn cuba utk cpt2 siapkn tesis ak spaya ak dpt konvo skali ngn senpai2 Mac taun dpn..Sbb ble senpai2 ni dah xde, ak rs sunyi jek skul kimia nnt..tggl generasi br yg hampir majoritinya bkn kaum melayu..kemon Hazwan!!! cpat2 la siap!!!

19 orang aktivis Pro-Palestin syahid (kebanyakan warga Turki) apabila kapal yang membawa bantuan keperluan untuk warga Palestin diserang askar komando Israel laknatullah..

Serangan ni meregangkan lagi hubungan antara Turki dan Israel kerana percanggahan keterangan..

Serangan ini turut membuktikan dunia bahawa betapa kejam rejim Israel yang mengenakan sekatan keatas negara Palestin..

We Are Neither Robot Nor Machine!!

2010-05-21T23:37:00.000-07:00

Menarik kn tajuk..haha..

Today's entry is based on the true story..

Let me first starts with a question, "How does it feel when your boss or your SV is still not satisfied with your work and at the same time currently you're in the end stage of thesis writing?"

The answer would be;

1. Geram gle..

2. Feels like not appreciatable

3. Rs nk drop jek MSc/PhD

4. Rs mcam nk menyorok dr SV

Various answer, but the theme is more likely the same..that is "hilang semangat/lost of courage"

Bnd ni xtrjadi pd ak..Luckily my SV understands his student's matters..Tp ni trjadi kt kawan ak that supposed to submit her thesis around the corner..She have to add few studies in the short of time..coincidencely, thesis kne anta next week..padahal she's only doing MSc's degree..Kdg2 kte pn mcam trtekan, nape student diperlakukan cmni..Ketidak-profesional seseorang SV tu menilai atau meneliti skop research yg student dia dah buat boleh menyebabkan hal ni trjadi..Bwat master smp 3-4 tahun..At this point, student pn macam "phobia" nk pursue study dia ke level yg paling tinggi..Disebabkan oleh "manipulation" yg brlaku, pengajian keperingkat yg tinggi boleh dianggap sebagai menjadi "lab rats" utk SV, bukannye menjadi "associate researcher" utk SV..Memetik kata Dr. Azmin dlm blog dia, "kualiti kerja pelajar pasca-siswazah bukan brgantung kepada masa (time period) utk breksperimen, tetapi hasil lumayan daripada dapatan kajian itu"..Macam org yg brduit, kalau ade duit sket2 kan senang, drp ade duit bnyk2, nnt kne curi la..Ak prcaya, setiap org tu ade semangat "death before dishonour"..In that case, hopefully bnd ni akan jadi iktibar pada kte sume (bakal2 boss or SV) forthwith..

Nasihat yg brguna

2010-05-07T06:25:00.000-07:00

Pagi tadi ms breakfast, kebetulan jmp ngn Prof Shariff (ex-boss ak ms keje kt Pusat Dadah)..mkn skali ngn dia n sembang2 sket..dia tny prkembangan study ak..n dia ckap syukurlah dah smp tahap tulis tesis..pastu dia tny ak, "what's ur next plan??"..trgamam ak kejap.."actually Prof, saya nk pursue PhD tp sblm tu maybe nk keje dl kot" ak mnjawab.."Ok, spatutnye dlm diri u dah kne ada matlamat hidup..i u r really interested to become an academician, just go for it..jgn dok tangguh2..walau sesusah mn skali pn" terang Prof...ak mintak gak advise dri dia ktne channel yg betul utk dpt PhD melalui pengalaman dia sndiri..kebtulan waktu sembang2 tu, dtg Dr. Affendi n En. Hifni (Dr. Affendi pnah ajar ak paper Psychology n En. Hifni lecturer bio)..wlaupn dia xkenal ak, tp diorg sgt best ble diajak brborak..Prof Shariff suh ak try apply ASTS n pd ms yg sm keje jap as lecturer kt mn2 kolej or uni yg trima lepasan master..Sm gak cadangan yg diusulkan oleh Dr.Azmin (skul engineering bahan) yg brminat amik ak as student PhD dia..Dr.Azmin ada tny background result ak..ak mula2 mmg segan sbb dl ak mmg xblaja tol2..tp dia ckap dl dia pn sm,kesedaran utk jd lebih baik 2 sentiasa ada..dia ajak ak jmp utk borak2 pasal research dia..Insyallah..matlamat utama ak pas bis ni nk ade duit sket utk kahwin..hehehe

Passby and offer..

alhamdulilah, sempurna jugak majlis bbq postgrad taun ni..n unfortunately, this would the last bbq party organized by me n fellow friend..tp jgn risau, harap2 taun dpn ade la inisiatif student lain yg nk buat..Dan dekan, prof baha n prof norita sgt brpuas hati dengan perjalanan majlis..walaupn taun ni diorg ckap best sbb ade cabutan brtuah, tp ak rs taun ni ak lg penat brbanding taun lpas..sbb ak rs taun ni rmai student yg agk bz ngn hal diorg, so maybe diorg xdpt nk tlg masak2 mcam taun2 lpas..ak pn xtau nape..tp xpela..yg pntg ak puas ati..sblm ak myerahkan baton as presiden balik, ak nk bwat aktiviti yg trakhir ni nmpk kemas n ssh nk dilupakan..nwey, gud news everyone..hehehe..ak dpt offer utk bwat PhD ngn sorg lecturer ni..n ak sgt admire kt dia..tp ak msih memikirkn nye sbb ak xpasti ape yg ak jd kt ak pd ms akn dtg..insyaallah kalau ade rezeki ak akn brkerja ngn dia dlm bidang material energy (battery/fuel cells)..

My Time

2010-04-21T23:27:00.000-07:00

Hari ni dalam sejarah: ak bwat prtama kalinya sejak bwat MSc x g skul..haha (weekends or cuti balik kg - doesn't count)..nape yea?

1. sbb lately ak ade mslh susah nk tdo..disamping kepanasan yg mkin ari mkin panas..(maybe due to habit ak yg suka tdo lwat petang and ke'heavy-an' ak brasap skrg (ble la nk brenti)..

2. sbb ak bnyk abiskn ms ak bc contoh tesis (stakat ni ak ade 4 tesis contoh!!) utk beri idea cmne ak nk tulis and susun ayat..skrg ni ak mcam dah mrapu2 tulis..

3. sbb ak borak ngn slh sorg ahli The Crow tgh mlm smlm (Zarif, yg dah selamat trbang ke France).

ckap psal Zarif, ak sgt brbangga ngn dia sbb dia dah smp ke tahap yg tinggi (Zarif bwat attachment kt University Henry Point Carre). Sbnrnye, ak dlm hati kecil agak jeles ngn dia (haha) sbb dpt g sn utk siapkn research dia. Dah msuk 3 org member ak yg g bwat attachment kt oversea dlm pelbagai bidang. Ak trtanya2 jgk bilalah ak dpt mrasai pluang yg sm..tp Zarif ckap ngn ak, my time would come and it will be much better..Dgr dia ckap cm2, trubat sket rs jeles ak tu..Mmg dlm angan2 ak, ak nk pursue PhD kt oversea..cuma ak xtau ble and kt mn..haih..tp sket sbnyk prasaan ni bwat ak lg smangat nk abiskn tesis ak n truskan pengajian ke peringkat yg lbh tggi n ke tmpt yg jauh dr cni..

dl ms matrik, ak ade prasaan yg sm jgk..nk dpt 4 flat pastu nk bwat medic kt oversea..tp mngkin dah takdir, sekuat usaha ak dl stdy (smp 14 jm stdy non-stop), ak xdpt 4 flat and secara xlangsung minat ak ke medic dah pudar..tp ak tetap gembira dgn keputusan ak ke Kimia sbb ak mmg sk subjek kimia..

mungkin ape yg ak perlukan ms genting ni (utk siapkan tesis) adalah keazaman..ak mst cpat2 abiskn tesis n kawin n keje kejap (utk kumpul duit) before ak pursue PhD (selagi tgh membara)..

p/s: napelah tulis chapter 3 ni bnyk dugaan??? brserabut kepala ak nk menulisnye..

Mucho gracias!!

Last night was a horrible night for me..

The story goes like this, last night me n my gf were having a dinner at Bayan Baru..

So, while we're heading back USM, there's a road-block in front of sekolah menengah bukit jambul...

i'm acting as nothing gonna happen, but unfortunately, i just realize that my roadtax is alreadly expired...damn u

Back to School

2010-01-11T23:04:00.000-08:00

Bila budak2 dah masuk skolah,ak tringat zaman skolah ak dl..

back in 1993, ak menjejakkan kaki ke alam prsekolahan di Sek. Keb. Dato' Seri Maharajalela

Hari pertama ak dlam Darjah 1 Melati, ak diperkenalkan dgn Guru Kelas ak iaitu Cikgu Noraini..

mmg dah mnjadi satu habit pntadbir skolah utk letak guru subjek bahasa melayu sebagai guru kelas agaknye..

tak macam kawan2 ak yg len yg nangis ms hari pertama ke sekolah,ak lebih suka ke skolah n xsbar nk ke skolah sbb dpt kwn2 baru..(lagipn dah biasa dok dlm kelas yg diawasi oleh mak ak sendiri; Cikgu Zabedah bberapa tahun lepas)..

zaman skolah rendah,seriously ak sgt nakal..main parit,cocok mata member ngn pensil smp brdarah,panjat pokok rambai dkt ngn padang skolah,lompat dri tingkat dua ke bawah..mcam2 lg..balik rumah,kne balun ngn mak ak tiap2 ari..

ms skolah rendah dl sgt best sbb pg2 ak smp dgn Land Rover bapak ak (masa tu ayah ak keje kt FELCRA) n slalu kuar masuk hutan,xpn naik moto Honda Fame ayah ak brjemaah ngn abg2 ak..dl pn ak slalu g skolah nek basikal,tp disebabkan ak slalu bgn lambat,xdpt la nek basikal..

Tahun 1998, masa tu Darjah 6 Teratai..ak jadi ketua darjah yg smart ber'tai' hijau..ms tu jgak ak di tempatkan dlm kumpulan Ikan (dl ms skolah rendah dok dlm kumpulan),tp xlama pastu ak ditukarkan ke kumpulan helang (kumpulah baru yg dibentuk utk bdk2 mantap,tp ak xla mantap sgt ms tu..!!)..nwey,alhamdulilah UPSR ak sgt cemerlang ms tu,hehe..

bila igt2 balik dah 12 tahun ak tinggalkan S.K.DSM (SDSM)..tiap2 kali ak balik kg,ak mst akn tgk skolah ni walaupn logonya dah brtukar n cikgu2nya pn sume yg br2...ak ttp rindu kt SDSM smp bila2..walaupun ak dgr skolah ni dah x secemerlang zaman ak ngn abg2 ak dl,tp ak ttp brbangga utk jd slah satu produk SDSM..Nur Zahidah (ex-ketua pengawas n bdk yg dok dpn meja ak dl) skrg dah jd lawyer n join st firma (grad dr UKM),Muin'nuddin (ex-pen.ketua pengawas,anak Cikgu Maharun mrangkap kawan baik ak) skarang dah jd engineer (grad dr UTP),Khairul Zakiran (dok sblh meja ak,anak Cikgu Zaidah) skrg dah jd engineer jgk (grad dr UTHM),Rafidah (bdk plg pndiam ms skolah) skrg dah jd food analyst (grad dr UMT),Ghazalie (bdk yg sk ckap besar tp kuat nangis) skrg dah jd cikgu math (grad dr UPM),nurmohammad @ kasap (hitam manis) skrg ni dah jd engineer IT n ak?? dah hampir siap master in kimia..

p/s; mcam Chino Moreno (vocalist Deftones) ckap,
"put back in square,now that's your need and what's you don't,so let it go,
coz back in school,we are the leaders of all !!! so whaaatt!!!"
