End of June

I've just gotten back from Penang island. I was there last week to attend an international symposium regarding the topic that I work on. The meeting not only opens up my eyes but also makes me think hard about what my work means to the bigger community. I can't deny that I'm a little down after attending the meeting. Nevertheless, I'm now better after taking some time to reflect upon my inner self and my initial intention to do research.

June is soon to pass. Boss told me just this afternoon that I need to generate enough data to show some depth in my study in order to be qualified as a PhD graduate. I keep my fingers crossed hard to make it to next year's graduation in October. I have not much time left. I need to do benchwork, analysis, reading, and perhaps begin some writing of my thesis chapters, despite trying to polish up my rejected manuscript and send out for another try. I should not lost focus of the bigger picture.

I'm not good at multitasking but I'll learn to adapt. I guess I'll be posting less entries here, hopefully, in order to spend more time on my work. Aza aza fighting! p(^_^)q

really it does help a lot when spent less time in social networking and blog. i think that's another reason i can focus and vomit out my thesis in a month. Keep your momentum going. Cheers!

I hv some parts of lab to clear but yet can get any progress, as well as, preparing my manuscript and started to write chapter 3.
The path is hard a bit winding though, but.... yeah, fighting!
'Gas' across the ocean being sent!
