Be more determine

Lately, I noticed that my works productivity are going down!

Just a reminder to myself!! Do keep your works up!!

I am a sponsored student, and I have to be motivated in order to finish my study on time...

And I realized, the only enemy that I have is my own self!!!

I should fight whatever the unwanted feeling, and focus more on my study...


Dear me, always remember...study come first, the rest, come later...


I should get whatever I want!! Yeah!!!

kulit muka licin dan berkilat.. (2)

I hardly found that most people are keenly to view this entry..

Ok, as a woman, of cause most of us would like to have a flawless, clear skin, isn't it? Semua orang nak kulit yg licin dan berkilat..Uppsyy!mungkin berkilat tak berapa sesuai, sebab itu melambangkan kulit berminyak.. :P

Dulu, mungkin I boleh berbangga dan bersyukur dengan kulit muka ini, tapi setelah habis master, time disaster datang!!

Jerawat mula tumbuh, just because I'd forced my pimple out without waiting for it to heal naturally!

And then, I applied the moisturiser.. Clinique pulak tu, Obses kan!! Konon-konon nak cantik, last2 makin teruk...

Mula la zaman jerawat datang, can u imagine, after 24 years, I got pimples!!!huhuhuu...Sangat2 sedih ok!!Badan pun semakin dipam-pam!!

A disaster day! Pimples! And fatty body!!!

Bila kita yang tak pernah ada jerawat (unless time our bestfriend datang) berjerawat, diri mula jadi stress ok! Orang pun dok tanya, why OP, are you stress out?? Then, I realized, I need to do something!!

I went to clinic, met a few doctors, took an injection! Tried out their cosmetic, etc, etc!! And after few months, all the breakout are faded...Alhamdulillah....

Here, I'll share few ubat-ubatan/cosmetic yang I amik..opss, yg doktor bagi!! :)

Acnotin, kena makan 4-6 months. Agak mahal jugaklah, sebulan dalam RM150..huhuhu...tapi I makan 3 bulan je, sbb after that I jumpa Dr kat Muar, took an injection, and she gave a cosmetic products.. Don't really remember the product name...haiyooo!!!huhuhuhu

Hah, the reason why, I was changing my consultant doctor because I got some infection!! Oh, mamma mia!! 

Berdasarkan petua nenek moyang or tradisional la sangat tu kan, scar can be healed using cinnamon!! I naively applied it to my skin, and the result is very upsetting!! Habis kulit, daripada berjerawat je, jadi merah-merah!!huhuhu... (don't ever trust internet source 100% after this) 

My mum pun marah2, and teruslah kitorang try to go to a klinik kat Muar..Alhamdulillah, its getting better after met a "SHE" Doctor (I mean, doktor perempuan)...

So, after having a 7 months breakout, I am recovered from it!! But not as flawless as previously la..huhuhu...

Picture during Eid Fitr, 2012..a month before fly to Birm! Kurus sikitlah compared to last year!!

Ok, sekarang ni disebabkan kat UK, kulit makin kering, so I try to use clinique semula...Kita tengok la perubahan yang ada nanti ye..

Need another advice or just someone to talk about this skin related experience, don't hesitate to contact me!! (^_^)

Cheersoo!!

An advice for a young researcher...

(A copy paste from J Supercond Nov Magn (2012) 25:2119–2120, Author: Ivan K. Schuller)

13 rules to follow!!

1. Physics is like painting, so the key is passion.

2. Never give up, even when the situation looks desperate. . . something will happen.

3. You cannot control genetics i.e. your IQ, but you can control how hard you work. So have an illusion to drive you.

4. Do what you like, but above all like what you do. As the Spanish poet Machado said it “Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar”. Paraphrasing: the important thing is the process, not necessarily the end results.

5. Don’t worry about your pedigree. It is possible to move to first rate institutions even from lowly origins.

6. Have sanity checks of your science by explaining it to non experts. You should be able to do this, at all levels without being condescending. If you can’t explain it to non experts, it probably has no lasting value.

7. You can do excellent science, even if you are not at the top institution.

8. One can make infinite excuses why something will not work. A good scientist does it in spite of the excuses.

9. Don’t try to prove a result, but discover what nature wants to reveal to you. The interesting and exciting result is whatever nature hands you, not what you want it to be.

10. Keep in touch with your classmates; they will be your future colleagues.

11. Don’t agonize over things you can’t control; rejected proposals, stupid referees, aggressive old men, difficult colleagues. . . . File themas they come, and go to the next thing.

12. Remember that there is nothing like that solitary knowledge at night after you uncovered a secret which only you know. No other one in the universe.

13. Above all don’t try to get payment for every single thing you do. It is a law of physics that whatever you do for others eventually comes back to you. So help out those after you, the same way you were helped.

So, myself!! Be prepared, and just follow these above rules..please...

A thought for the day

My finger keep bleeding continuously...Perhaps it's having a blood clotting problem...

Temperature getting lower day to day...

My motivation descending every minutes and seconds...

Huhuhuhu....Perhaps this is what we called the winter fever..

I really missed Malaysia...

Missing all my family and friends in Malaysia

Missing the crystal clear water...

Missing the bright sunshine...

Missing the sandy beaches...

Missing the green forests...

Missing the atmosphere and surroundings of Malaysia...

Really missed every single things, and every single person there...

Now, I just realized, we actually tend to appreciate something if we are too far away from it... And this is how we called life!!

LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN'T TOUCH BUT CAN FEEL... 

LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT INVISIBLE, BUT WE KNOW AND REALIZED THE EXISTENCE.. 

LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT SWEET BUT SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT SOUR...

LOVE DOESN'T MEAN WE NEED TO WIN SOMEONE BUT TO LOSE OURSELVES FOR SOMEONE ELSE...

A lovely weekend

Being far away from our country actually will make ourselves more closer with each other..

All Malaysian will be as a one big family, without any hesitation..

Last weekend, I spent myself with Kak Enny and her family, and with other adiks to celebrate Masyie's birthday!

Happy birthday Masyie, May Allah granted you with happiness, blessed you with His Gracious, and protected you with His Greatness...amin....

Kak Enny and her husband, abg Hafiz are very kind and generous..alhamdulillah.. I met another fantastic people here throughout my journey...

Hopefully, will be more closer with other Malaysian family here as it make me feel like being at home..with my parents, kakaks, abangs and nieces, nephews... :) Insya'Allah...

Till then..

Ukhwah fillah, abadan abada...

Motivate myself!!

A copy/paste material that actually means a lot for me.. Will try my best to be like this, and be more focus with my PhD.. but, as usually, we are only planning, but Allah is the best planner :)

Ucapan seorang pensyarah (pemenang anugerah ) yg tak sempat dihabiskan kerana terlalu sebak. Seluruh dewan terdiam. Saya tuliskan teksnya: 

5 Resepi kejayaan dalam pengajian doktor falsafah-

Pertama, dalam apa jua hal yang berlaku, saya menggantungkan seluruh nasib saya kepada Allah. Misalnya, tatkala saya bertembung dengan apa jua kesukaran pengajian, hal pertama yang saya lakukan adalah solat sunat taubat dan solat sunat hajat. 

Kedua, saya berusaha sedaya upaya untuk berbuat yang terbaik kepada kedua orang tua dan guru saya. Atas sebab itulah misalnya, saya dikurniakan Allah akan guru yang tidak hanya memimpin saya dalam pengajian tetapi juga memimpin saya ke hospital sewaktu saya jatuh sakit. 

Ketiga, saya berusaha sedaya upaya untuk sentiasa bermurah hati baik dari segi tenaga dan wang ringgit kerana di situlah antara punca kemurahan rezeki.

Keempat, saya memiliki perancangan pengajian yang sangat teliti. Bermula dari perancangan tahunan hinggalah kepada perancangan harian.

Kelima, tiada istilah ‘malu’ dalam kamus hidup saya setiap kali saya memerlukan tunjuk ajar daripada seseorang. Kelima-lima resepi inilah mudah-mudahan menjadi panduan kepada teman-teman siswazah sekalian bagi menggapai kejayaan yang lebih gemilang.

And good luck to myself.. You can do it Op, if you want...you just need to put a lots of effort and forget about all the laziness...

Stand still

Living in other people places make us feel strong sometimes...

We need to adapt ourselves with the environment, people, essences, surrounding, etc..etc..

With whatever we are working on,  we need to be more rigid, and more tougher..

And these kind of things, are not happening without any effort..

We should try our best and give all our contribution without complaining....

Because we are the chosen one...

Allah choose us to be here, as a 'khalifah', as an 'abid'..

What we need to do right now is stand still!! Because we actually need to keep reminding ourselves that all the obstacles will make us feel strong.. 

Yah, Allah always be by our side...

And the strongest ever weapon for muslim is a pray...

So, keep praying...and keep hoping for Allah's forgiveness and His blessing along our way....

"I am usually remind my self that I am the chosen one, because among all, I was choose to be here, as a student...alhamdulillah... :)"

London!!

Just a weekend vacation to accompany my 'used to be' undergrad friend during her visit to London....

It has been too long since we left our undergraduate life... But the sweet memories still remain and keep crossing my mind...

Dear Allah, please take care of all my friends, here, and outside there...Granted them with Your Bless and reward them with success and a truly happiness of life!! Amin....
