Problem Solved....

Problem solved...I've received an email from my assistant registrar in Malaysia regarding my status.. and she said -no news from the ministry yet..so my boss asked me to take off this Monday (according to initial plan)..

So, here i am...in LONDON...we will be staying here for next 2 days before flying home...

Apa lagi, LONDON hopping la..hehehe...So, sit back and wait for my posting on Day Trip to LONDON...TUNGGU....

I'm So Confused!!!

I'm so confused.....

Hari ini betul-betul menguji ku...Terima email dari Malaysia tentang extention- result will be out by Friday...and mungkin akan cancel flight ticket jika aku dapat extention tu...and i will stay for another 2 months here..

Dulu dah bincang dah dengan Big Boss and decision dia balik dulu dan tunggu surat approval tu baru datang sheffield balik..and dia tak kisah flight ticket tu..Paul mula-mula memang tak bagi aku balik..suruh tunggu je surat tu..but kena tanggung risiko la kalau tak approved..then dia ok bila Boss kata macam tu...

Yang jadi masalahnya ialah, tiba-tiba bagitau pasal nie, nie kira last minute betul..Friday baru tau result, tiket 30 Jun (Isnin)..notis keluar rumah dah bagi pada landlord..landlord dah bagitau kalau nak stay kena bagi notis at least 1 minggu so dia boleh arrange rumah..now tinggal berapa hari??

mana aku nak duduk kalau takde rumah weh!..and lagi satu nak masuk rumah kena bayar deposit balik and sewa bulan pertama...campur-campur semua dah jadi 860pound..mana nak korek banyak tu??? and off course bendahari akan bagi cek later but bila???

Miserable...and bincang dengan Paul...he said i should stick to my plan..ignore them..coz i already set my mind to be at home by 30 June..and he said come back again as soon as i can..

Apa nak buat nie???dilema betul...Sedih...

But the best part...Paul puji-puji aku...kata dia tak sabar nak aku balik sheffield balik...kerja aku bagus..dapat result bagus..and dia kata normally susah student international nak fit into UK lab environment, UK environment dalam masa 3 bulan, selalunya ambil sampai 6 bulan..then baru boleh start kerja and produce result.. but me, fit in very fast and very well....ceh! bangga diri..tak baik...hehehe...tu je yang buat hati nie happy buat hari ini..

and one more thing aku dah hilangkan kunci lab yang Paul bagi (kunci lab sini ada security tak semua orang boleh dapat)...takut betul tadi..but dia kata ok tak pe, jangan risau nanti dia bagi yang lain bila aku balik...best betul la supervisor aku nie..sayang Paul...hehehehe...

Eh..apsal entry nie tulis bahasa melayu nie...tension sangat la nie..huhuhuh...

MONDAY....

Today is MONDAY..and MONDAY should come with it BLUES...


But not for me,


Today, I'm really in GOOD AND POSITIVE MODE...It's not because i've obtained another POSITIVE RESULT..It's because, finally i've got some brilliant idea to overcome my analytical problems...thanks to Heather and Matt...Hopefully, i could see some POSITIVE RESULT tomorrow..

What ever it is...that's what we called it RE-SEARCH...

“Come to the edge.”

“We can't. We're afraid.”

“Come to the edge.”

“We can't. We will fall!”

“Come to the edge.”

And they came.

And he pushed them.

And they flew.

Guillaume Apollinaire, 1880-1918 French Poet, Philosopher

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. – Chinese proverb

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

There you go AIN....

My Kesum

Park at Molecular Biology Building (MBB)...our favourite spot during lunch time (only apply in sunny day)..

Sorry guys for not updating my blog frequently...Really busy at work since i've got a few months left...And Kesum work is still in progress...

This is my beloved Metabolomics machine..LCT-ES-MS-TOF..

Function: To profile the metabolites of an organism without any bias...

And ta..da... the results that this brilliant machine plotted for me..It's the chromatographs of metabolite compounds of Kesum..

Ta...da...the data analysis of my Kesum sample using SIMCA-P...This is an example of good result!!!Yeah!!

And this is Gas Liquid Chromatography to analyse my targeted compounds...I've done the carbohydrate-successful...and I've tried to run standard of organic acids- not successfull yet!!! huhuhuhu... Problem with the derivatization maybe...anyone have any brilliant idea???Please email to me..

Ta..da......young shoots dah berlumba-lumba nak keluar...ini adalah kelahiran anak pokok kesum pertama yang ditanam di Sheffield- mimic conditions at Annex...

My kesum...dah steady dah...sapa-sapa yang kata hidup segan mati tak mau tu...kesum nie dah tak segan hidup dah...and hopefully tak mati for time being...

Ewah...dah macam progress report la pulak...Wah..alamak terlebih sudah!!! ...so kepada kengkawan yang mendoakan saya dan kesum saya tu- thanks a lot...perjuangan tetap diteruskan walaupun perbagai rintangan mendatang...Perjuangan yang belum selesai..akan ku teruskan jua...Redah jer!!!!

Daytrip To Manchester

24 May 2008, Manchester was our next destination.Actually this trip was inspired by my hubby, since he's really eager to visit the Old Trafford Stadium..

Sesapa yang minat sgt dgn Man Utd tu, jgn jealous tau sbb kami dah sampai kat stadium tu...hehehe..

We stopped for a while (actually for shopping and photograph taken) at the Manchester Arndale before continue the journey to Old Trafford by Tram..



It was a very long journey for me (jalan kaki tau!) from the Tram station to the stadium...aiyo! habis lemak ku terbakar..anyway, we reached the stadium after 30 min walking..just imagine, ain can walk that long..it was another new record for me actually..the first one was jungle tracking- Perhentian Island (Josh, jgn gelak ye) hehehe..




Shopping sakan!!! hehehe..Megastore of Man Utd that's our real destination..my hubby bought some T-shirts, Caps, key chains, mugs and ntah apa-apa lagi ler kat situ..


And he said, he's not really fancy about MU..yeah right!!...anyway, let's photo do the talking...jangan marah ye suami ku..




The best part, before balik we went for makan-makan in Thai Restaurant at China Town in Manchester city..Thanks Mr Ghani for belanja seabass and etc..Sorry guys, gambar takde sebab busy sgt menghabiskan seabass tu sampai lupa amik gambar..almaklumla lama tak makan makanan ala-ala tom yam..

Daytrip to Chatsworth, UK

On 17 May 2008, me and my family with a friend visited the Chatsworth House, located in Derbyshire, Peak District, UK. It was a very big and beautiful English Manor, owned by Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.

A bit on the history: The first house at Chatsworth was built by 'Bess of Hardwick' (c. 1527-1608) and her second husband Sir William Cavendish (1505-57).

Infront of my house..oppss..Chatsworth House

Dare to have dinner with us??

Purple Tulips..Wah!

Waterfalls Chartsworth House

To date, the running of Chatsworth was taken over by the Chatsworth House Trust. This is a charitable foundation set up by the 11th Duke to help ensure for the public benefit the preservation of the house, its essential contents, the garden and the park.

Our dream house..hehehe..

Infront of the castle at 140 acres garden..See how big is the Manor!!

Kesum Oh Kesum-Aku Nak Nangis

Polygonum minus or Kesum

Kesum at CO2 Chamber, The Centre of Annex, Uni Sheff

Today is 2nd of June..and this project should be end by 30 June..but..i don't think i can finish by the time..so much work given,so many things need to learn and discover..OMG i'm the guinea pig since this kesum is their new and latest interest!and a lot of pressure come from both side..sometimes i want to cry..

Current issue,sheffield want me to stay for another 2 months, but UKM still look at the budget..and Mike gave me more work that i think need at least a year to complete it..even when i asked him "based on his experience, how long it will takes to complete this?", he said CLUELESS!!!

Aiyo..mati la aku stuck kat sini forever..and my hubby dah merengek nak balik Malaysia, since his bussiness a bit slow now..nak nangis..huhuhu...

Metabolomics@ Sheffield

At last, we arrived at sheffield on 1st April 2008. new experience, new knowledge awaiting for me here..alhamdulillah, me and my family survived to the extremely cold (for us maybe)weather at sheffield.now it should be spring time and the weather are very nice..sunny day..and flowers everywhere...how lovely..

But deep in my heart, bit worry...metabolomics- it's not just a complicated name or term but also a very heavy burden..to gain knowledge, to learn theory,practical and techniques and also to obtain results within 3 months..

The work that should be encountered by PhD student in 3-4years times, but for me- just 3 months..even my supervisors said i must be the iron lady if i can finish this in 3 months..hahaha...so sarcastic...

What ever it is...work must be done..return home with honours and dignity...obtaining very good result..tackle all the problems in metabolomics study...that are my aims...

Hope Allah will help me and guide me...insyaallah..

My happiness- my hubby, and my two sunshine are here to give me support and encouragement...
