Post Graduate Conference

Lagi dua hari nak kena present, power point tak siap lagi. Nervous gak...mau nyer tak, first time present kat negeri orang putih ni....dia orang tak per la, bahasa dia...

dalam duk prepare untuk presentation, tekak rasa semacam nih...jangan takde suara masa present...kacau...

Post graduate conference ni adalah annual event in Medical School's postgraduate programme (PhD only). First year students and third year student kena oral presentation, second year, poster (tak aci..), involving all student within medical school, Dundee U. Setakat ni yang tau, ada tiga malaysian first year (mungkin ada lagi, tapi tak tau), sharun and amal.

Still Standing

This month sibuk dengan conference and meeting. Next week is my first monitoring committee meeting. Suppose kena hantar literature review 2 minggu sebelum meeting tapi less than seminggu nak meeting ni tak hantar lagi.Nak kena present lagi. Tambah pulak ada post grad symposium, lagi la kalut. Dalam pada tu keje lab tak kurang banyaknya. Hari tu duk sibuk nak dapatkan protein, dah dapat nak kena buat protein pull down assay la pulak.

One thing kat sini dia orang punya philosophy...work hard, play hard. Weekend...non-academic activity. Kononnya kalau keje weekend ni bulihlah cepat habis, tapi tak jugak....memenatkan lagi ada. So, sekarang ni weekend adalah carboot sale, picnic, BBQ, shopping or just stay home.

Two weeks ago attend generic skill course, Research Management. Menarik jugak. Yang paling best, dua hari tak yah g lab..hahaha...

Course ni berkenaan bagaimana kita nak handle PhD ni...Menurut fasilitator, PhD is trying to find everything about nothing....that's interesting. maksudnya, makin banyak kita tahu, makin banyak yang kita tak tahu...so just keep asking and looking. PhD is about a journey, not a destination. If we can sail thru the journey, destination is crystal clear.
