selesai!

ok....i have finished writing my chapter 3. So uols, I only have my chapter 7 left and 1 small part of my chapter 1 (organisation of thesis punye subtopic).

Esok, I am going to print out my chapter 5 and chapter 3. Pastu, the next few days, I plan to edit and proofread the chapters (including chapter 6 yang dah print tapi tak edit lagi). Lepas tu, buat pembetulan di mana perlu.

Then, after i dah buat pembetulan, I plan to print everything out again...so that I can read it as a whole thesis. Then, corrections again and I plan to proceed writing my conclusion. I somehow think my conclusion chapter holds the important key to the whole of my thesis because it is in this chapter that i plan to carefully illustrate my contribution to knowledge. risau la jugak because I sometimes rasa tak confident if I can get my points across.

I am still wrecking my brain in thinking how to tie everything together. So hopefully, the process of editing and rereading every chapters accordingly will help me connect the dots and direct my thoughts. :)

I sound so geeky kan.

Alhamdullillah. I really really hope to finish by this month. Now, I rasa that I should not rush myself sangat. I am now thinking of using my winter holidays to re-edit, proof read, check formats and etc and submit it as soon as the semester reopens. I just want to make sure that everything is perfect, well, to me la at least kan.

Tapi, if ada rezeki for me to habis cepat this writing, I would be really really grateful.

Ok tu jer.

Other than going to uni to print out the chapters esok, I plan to rest! and maybe go to a bazaar. tengoklah cemana. :)

Alhamdullillah.

kali pertama dalam 31 tahun!!

today, i changed my first ever light bulb. i know,mungkin uols dah biasa buat tapi this is my first time and i thought i should put it in writing.

if kat rumah, sure i lembik dan akan minta dr Sunshine yang tukarkan when he gets back from work. LOL.

tapi dah duduk sendiri ni, terpaksala kan. Last time when the lights in my room blew, i had to panggil orang lain to tukarkan cos i was heavily pregnant and tak berani nak panjat2 kerusi precariously to change it.

Tapi kali ini, i beranikan diri (altho there is the fear that I will fall sampai ingat maybe i should call my friend first in case anything happen to me, ada la orang tahu kan...wakakak...tapi i tak call pon) and stood at the tip of the chair to change my light bulb. dah la vertically challenged..LOL.

anyway, cannot wait to be my lembik self kat Malaysia nanti. LOL. I miss my husband.

tak ada mood

i brought aaron for his check up today. At 11 days shy of being 6 months, he is 6.77kg and 65cm. I think he is a tall baby because I dukung pon, kaki dia dah melonjong. His length is definitly longer than my torso. Lepas check up tu, nak beratur untuk buat next appointment tu, mengambil masa yang agak lama. I tell you, ada minah ni, siap kena reject lagi oleh klinik ittew sebab i think they are not taking in new patients anymore. Anyhoo, lepas dapat appointment baru, kena la bagi susu. Maka, by the time I left the clinic, it was close to 11. Sempat singgah buat groceries sikit and terus balik to reach home about 12.30. By the time sampai rumah, mood adalah sudah ke laut. uwaaaaaaaaaa

Jauh di sudut hati, memang ada perasaan risau ya amatz like sempatke habis ni...

tapi ada juga kata2 slow and steady wins the race (ni pinjam dari bob the builder).

So here I am, malam2 ni, trying to write because i am worried. huhu.

oklah. saja nak luahkan perasaan.

my bestfren is coming to visit me. woot woot. cannot wait. then we plan to go to venice. :)

Syukur

Alhamdullillah, all my files could be recovered!!!! Syukur sangat-sangat ya Allah. How did I do it?

I went to vienna-expat forum and searched for computer and ada this one guy recommended a person who can fix computers. I went to that guys website and tgk a youtube video he uploaded in which he salvaged a usb stick dan the files in it. Terus I felt like there is hope that my external hard drive could be saved!!! So, on Monday, I went to that guys place. Jauh juga tempat tu, but I managed to find it. Dia kata, he will try his best to fix it, dan kos maxima mungkin adalah 70euro. I pon ok ajelah....

Lepas tu, I felt like treating myself to some hot choc and cake. Masa tengah minum2 hot choc tu, dapat text cakap dah siap baiki!!! cepat ok the service. hihi.

Lagi satu, I bersyukur, anak2 ai dah baik demam. :)

Next...is, one of my paper has been accepted to be presented at a conference in Japan. I will be presenting vitually because conference is in April. So, inshaAllah, next year, akan ada 2 paper presented at international conference and dalam proceeding. :)

Tapi kan, tetap la i tak habis2 lagi tulis pasal modernity nieeee......*ketuk kepala sendiri*

you get what you give

Hari ini, saya tidak bangun untuk solat Subuh.

Dan tak tahulah sama ada kebetulan ke apa, hari ni adalah antara hari paling sh**y yang pernah saya alami.

1. Pergi buat groceries, namun tertinggal satu barang di kaunter and only realised it when i got home. Mak tak koser nak pi kedai tu balik, lagipon what proof do i have that I tertinggal barang ittew di kaunter.

2. My laptop dan juga komputer di universiti tak boleh read my external hard drive which contains my thesis!!!!!! And altho I have some backup (only a few chapters) the ones that I have corrected atau add info non ado back up. I wanted to do it today but alas...this thing happened! Call dr sunshine, tapi terasa seperti kena marah.:( Maka call kawan di sini and she said, maybe the cable that connects the external to lappie yang longgar. Emm..mungkinkah? LAgipon it did jatuh before i guna pagi tadi. Maka decided to go to Saturn to get a new cable.

3. On the way to Saturn to get a new cable to connect my external hard drive to the lappie, bus berenti jaaauuuuhh lagi dari stesen that i want to turun. Sebab apparently now, every Samstag leading up to xmas, bus will only stop till this particular station. Maka, terpaksa I menapak (sambil ber-babywearing cik Aaron yang agak berat ittew).

Now i am home (its almost 4pm) and baru nak makan breakfast/lunch. :(

Lepas makan ni, nak test if pertukaran cable berjaya menyelamatkan external ku. Doakan yek.

Ke uols yang expert2 computer tu camana i can rectify this matter????

pasal sms

Tahu tak, when i was pregnant with aaron last year, i text Dr Sunshine almost every single morning (time malaysia), just to say good morning ke, or drive safely ke or apa2 ajelah.

Pastukan, when I got back here with Aaron, I pulak yg dapat text almost every morning from him!!!!!! *tersengih lebar*

I tell you, waking up to find a text from my husband is one of the greatest feeling ever. It may seem so simple, but, it really makes my day! :)

Lagi-lagila bila dapat text ajak pergi holiday. Ooohhh...cannot wait for it to materialise.

Ok, sekarang, kena buat kerja. :)

mulut yang laju dari otak

ok. hari ni i rasa i buat sesuatu yang mungkin akan membinasakan diri sendiri.

you see, i tengok kawan-kawan i yang dah complete phd kan, cara sorang buat kerja adalah, tulis, sv cek, pastu depa buat corrections, sv recheck, pastu dah ok baru submit, betul?

So, I pon dengan innocentnya ingat its just like that over here. Maka tadi, bila sv tanya bila rasa-rasa nak hantar my completed thesis, i kata in december as I set a deadline for myself, which is dec 5th. yes.deadline ittew adalah tarikh di mana saya yakin akan siap ketujuh-tujuh bab sahaja. read. bab2 sahaja. bukan abstrak lah, acknowledgement, update references, dan segala bagai mak nenek ittew.

tapi, rupa-rupanya konsep kat sini (or maybe konsep sv i la kan) ialah bila sv kita examine thesis kita, dia tak baca draft2 sume tu. dia akan baca the binded copy tu terus utk examination. huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....so how?? so bila dia kata bila nak submit tu, maksudnya bila nak submir the binded copy. pepandai je kan i kata nak hantar in december.....

takpe.

this means i have to work extra super duper hard.

my plan of action adalah work my butt of and submit it before xmas hols. doakan i berjaya ye uols.

p/s: risaunya nak hantar kerja yang tidak diperiksa oleh sv. mujur butiran thesis tu, well, some of it, i dah guna dan diperkisa untuk a few assginments.

caiyok caiyok!! kata mak budak yang nak tengok amazing race dulu sebelum start buat kerja
