Another happy moment!

Me so happy, me could cry!!!!

My one and only paper is finally published. No more article in press. Yahoo!!!! As of 6 Feb 2008. Gosh that took ages. It was available online since 27 Feb 2007. It is even listed in Web of Knowledge he he he he.. I am finally indexed. This is really the Kampung girl (Country girl) in me. That means I can be cited by others. Double yahoo.

Anyway it is properly published now. Very excited! Ha ha ha ha. Of course. It is my one and only paper! I should have written another 3 from my Thesis but but but but... Hmmm. I am so embarrassed to say I have loads of excuses. I do look up to my fellow researchers from Birmingham. They are good and I can not compare. However in my little way I have contributed to science. My paper can be found online at www.sciencedirect.com with the title 'Using intelligent software to predict the effects of formulation and processing parameters on roller compaction'. Yahoo... It really really means a lot to me. Why? because it means my work is credible. Unlike the tons of elephant dung out there. I did not do rocket science research but it is a small but credible scientific knowledge. Ha ha ha ha. The journal is not HIGH IMPACT nevermind but it is useful in its own way.

Mind you my research at Birmingham had gotten another 4 students their research grants. That is a lot isn't it. Ha ha ha... I really can hear Dr EEEvil (Rob) telling me how silly I am. But I do not care. I am happy.

I should take this as an encouragement to keep plugging on. I will write my next three papers this year if I die trying. I will also produce another grant before the end of June 2008. That is a promise. And if I fail.. I will cry. :)

Congrats chal... u deserve it for all the hard work u've done..all the best on the other papers...

I wont and never be able to do what u've done...pemalas gia sia and dont have the brain and effort...heehe..heehe
Thanks Jess. It means so much to me these papers are the lifeline of researchers.

Without it we are nothing but just a bunch of big ass Doctor liars.. HAHAHAH.

By the way, Jess I am old but I know a few things about life. Do not compare yourself with others and what they achieve. One's life is hard enough to deal with. Be proud that you are a person who is learning to deal with growing, ever changing problems and pains everyday of your life. In my eyes everyone is a success as long as they go on living. Everybody have their own type of challenges. No life is easy. It is up to us to make what we can of it. :) You are sweet and young and you have so much to give to your family. I can see you are taking each step as it comes. That is already overcoming a lot of challenges. Take care...

My two cents

There are two types of people who succeed in life, one who never gives up and one who never failed. The first one always wins but the second one will give up after his first failure. This one I claim as my own quote. The others swimming in my head are: Never quit. If you think you have lost, you have. Strive and strive again. Plug on. ~Andy Lydiatt~ Perservere ~JM~ Bersusah-susah dahulu, bersenang-senang kemudian. Listen to your teacher, ~mummy~ When you get nervous for a presentation Doc Eeevil told me to remember there are three types of people in the crowd 1) the ones who genuinely wants to know more 2) the ones who wants to guide you to a bigger idea 3) the ones who want to make you look bad. My personal principle, keep your manners and be kind and assertive when answering to all three types, you can not go wrong.

The biggest challenge

The challenges I had in my life were numerous. I come from a very average family. We had food on the table. We had the hand me down clothes. To aspire for a change in life meant I needed to work harder than I ever did. So I did. I worked hard at school for 5 years to get myself eligible for a scholarship. I faced failure after failure to get a decent grade to be able to continue for a degree. I worked hard to get my postgraduate scholarships. Went through so much downs and still I stood up again to just finish what I started. I stand here now thinking if I did all that why is it so hard to do this one thing. To forgive the unforgivable. My insides are all in pain. I want to set myself free. I want to forgive. I want to move on. Lord God in all my travels and adventure I never stopped talking to you. Today more than any other time I implore you to help me forgive.

Feeling like jello

It is a tender morning. Today is week 3 of my survival count-up. I was okay in the pass few days. What happened this morning? I do not know. I just feel very tender, panicky, scared, worried and sad. All these emotions for me and my children. I pray to God for strength and calmness. I need to release this control I have over this issue. I need to surrender to God, his Angels and Saints. They are all around me and they remind me so often that they appreciate my struggle and I need to let them help. I need to appreciate myself. I have done some wrong things and some right things. But I can not be harsh on myself for the wrong things I do. I need to focus on the right things. I am on the right path. I want to have faith. I am progressing steadily. I am moving forward. My proposal and my side income projects are there and I am working towards them. I need to stop worrying. Worrying is like a magnet for negative things to happen to me and my family. I need to focus on the positives in my li...
