Scientist And Research

In order to give me some encouragement, someone told me about the research world beyond Malaysia. In some countries, they got roughly about 10% of the citizen who are the scientist. If the population in that country is 30 million, the people who are working as scientist is about 3 000 000. One of the reason why the government want most citizen pursue their study. Imagine how many scientist are in China. That must be a large number right. So awesome. He told me that India and Pakistan got many researchers and they are actively doing their researches. Some of them even move out to USA to get better recognition for their works. However, it's kind of sad since India and Pakistan is not in a good relationship. Imagine both of them are in peace and the scientists able to sit down together and have a discussion. Must be amazing and damn great. They can have great research to be studied for. Well. Maybe some other countries are terrified about this and make sure that these countries do not going well together. But the scientists, they still can meet each other. They got conferences, seminars etc. to be attended. 

Research is all about improving the quality of life.

Street Cafe

Kind of crazy as I decide to have a meal at Street Cafe (Sunway Pyramid). Kind of broken right now, still waiting for my allowance. Maybe it's still in process. Hope it will be settled soon.

Still Editing

Meet my supervisor to discuss what the panels said during the presentation session yesterday. He kind of satisfy since panels gave some constructive ideas. So, still need to edit my previous research proposal and add in the suggestions given. Also meet a student who is also under my supervisor. A degree student who is conducting final year project. She is a nice girl. Apparently, we are doing kind of similar thing but different target compound. Yeah, still on betulinic acid.

Stress Is Gone

Today is the day. Kind of worry about what kind of question that the panels may ask me. Went to the graduate school quite early about 8.45 a.m. but my turn is at 10.30 a.m. However, I presented my research proposal after 11.00 a.m because of previous candidate took longer times. Everything went smoothly. We had a discussion about my research instead of Q&A session. I prefer it that way.  Panels throw out some ideas and suggestion for my research. In other words, not much questions they asked me. Really relieved about that. I will meet my supervisor and discuss more on this with him.

Clean And Clear

Most of the time, I sit in front of my notebook. I don't like to see my table in messy condition. So I always make sure that everything is in order. Sometimes, I also eat here while watching on-line movie/tv show or korean drama. One of the reason why I gained weight.

Original Or Not

Discover some books that may help throughout my study. But somehow, all of them are not locally published. It would cost me a fortune to have that books. Searching through my library portal but it's not located at one place. I need to travel to get that book. 

Here are the list of book:

- Biochemistry
- Fundamental of biochemistry
- Principles of biochemistry
- Essential of biochemistry
- Biochemistry for dummies
- Understanding NMR spectroscopy
- Introduction to enzyme and coenzyme chemistry
- RSM: Process and product optimization using designed experiments
- March's Advanced organic chemistry: Reactions, mechanisms and structure

A book cost USD 100. In Malaysia's currency, it's about RM300 per book.

Life Without Internet

Youth these day barely can survive without internet. Yeah, that's me. The wireless connection at my home got some problem. Since it's public holiday, it gonna take some time to be repaired. Need my mail box to be checked. Need to settle everything as soon as possible. Need to follow up with the person-in-charge of a seminar that I want to attend. Hope the wireless connection gonna be okay tomorrow.

Cute Cupcakes

Accompanied my friend to buy stationery in Popular book store. Sadly, she can't use her book baucer as the store only allow about 20%  for stationery. Very pissed off because they put on the notice at the cashier counter. Damn fuck, of course none of us would notice it unless when we want to pay. They should put it at the entrance (at least). Wonder why they do so. But one thing is sure, not many people would spend their baucer at that BOOK STORE especially those final semester student. 

Wandering around in the mall. Suddenly, stop at a small booth selling cake and cupcakes. Remind me of a Kdrama.
