Time really flies~ 2011 is here!!! Tomorrow will be the first working day in this brand new year~ How's everyone doing? Ahh.. There'll be more exciting and adventurous journey waiting ahead of me.. (hmm.. actually, can I even say that as adventurous?! haha.. let's see how it goes k? Oh btw, I mean my masters studies =))
To wrap up year 2010, generally, I'm quite satisfied with my achievement after working for a year. As I successfully set up a lab, Standard Operating Protocol and QC tests, trained lab assistants, completed my research proposal, and registered as a Master Student!
2010 is really a hectic year... But all was fun~ and i'm quite looking forward to this year as I'm visualizing myself playing a more supervisive role. Hope that my boss will really hire a microbiologist SOON!! Doing masters is already a big headache.. Really need a helping hand. Can never do all the work myself!
Alright, I'll make this a short post, tomorrow catching a flight again~ May this New Year brings everyone Joy, Happiness, Wealth and most importantly Health!!!
~L.I.S.T.E.N~ As words spoken are not merely words... They have in-depth meanings within it..

Starting of a New Challenge
Wondering what challenge am I talking about? It's my masters studies. Haha.. not exactly new as I've mentioned before in previous blog post, but till today I have not started my research project yet. Good news is.. finally after all these months, I'm starting very SOON! Most probably by December~ It's being delayed as I've a crazy working schedule~
And what more early Dec, our ex-prime minister Tun M is visiting the composting plant along with 60 other visitors. Although my role is not exactly major in this project, well.. it's still something~ ^^ I'm flying down to Sabah again next week~ So, there goes another week away from KL. I actually plan to start my masters by Oct 2010, seems like it's not at all that easy. Hopefully able to kick start by December!
Another thing that i'm so troubled with, I've never written any business proposal or some sort of documents (except for minor ones which doesn't involve large sum), and I'm still struggling on how to estimate the entire cost of my research project. As I need to prepare one as R&D that fits the company's nature of business, and get a sponsorship in my research as well. Otherwise, it'll definitely burn a hole in my pocket to buy all that chemicals, reagents and whatever enzyme standards there is.. O.o" ---> this, is really a big headache! >.<"
Well, I can't really say that I'm totally enjoying doing all these troublesome procedure (i think i have more interest in learning japanese language than in my research project in the mean time.. =.="), but.. as troublesome as it is, I'm practically pushing myself for it~ cause I don't want to have any regrets in future. There's no harm in pushing yourself to learn or do something that'll increase your knowledge and skills~ as these will be your secret weapon in the road to success! At least, that's what i believe.. ^^
Looking back in time, where my friends & I used to gather around, discussing on what possible routes that we'll take in future.. Talking about dreams that we have in mind, and worries on the bio-related field, we share our thoughts and problems with each other. Knowing that being a researcher in Msia, doesn't get a high pay (even starting pay is below average.. how depressing can it be~). And then, even before graduation, some already fixed in mind that they'll be continuing their masters studies straight away, some determined to challenge a different field, some just desire to start somewhere which is in the same field.
I still remember how lost i felt upon graduation, having to go through 4 months job-hunting process, trying all possible field related companies/universities, even joined a training programme which the actual start date kept being pushed back. And after all that stress & struggle, the taste of happiness upon getting a job offer, is still fresh in mind~ As time goes by, the milestone that I've come to today, I'm quite happy with it. Although the pay is not high compared to other fields, but i guess I'm contented because I'm involved in creating a greener world and gained invaluable experiences along the way. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed from the day I started working. But I'll never forget, the little chit-chat sessions that we spent at mamak during high school & Uni times.. And how we promised to lookout for each others back~ and cheered for our long lasting friendship during our graduation trip~ ^^
Alright, I'll end my post with this wonderful song from:

♥P@R3ntS♥
Come across this clip.. it's about how great parents' love towards their children, and how children also take it for granted. Well, when i read it through, it's kinda true. Haha.. I should be playing a better role next time as a daughter. Although i didn't really say this much, but mom and dad~ I Love you!!! ♥ ^^
Here's the video's link:
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=142049885843454
I remember there was once, my dad was fetching me home, he suddenly said this to me: "我最大的成就，就是有你们三个（小孩）！" "My biggest achievement, is having all three of you (children)"
And i could see him grinning.. And mind you, my dad is not at all sentimental type of person. That was the first time i heard something like that from him. He's always so tough and straight forward in giving comments and teaching us about life, about what's the right thing to do. But that was something that i really surprised to hear. And everytime when i'm feeling down/lazy/slacking in my work.. or when i feel that i'm so stressed and want to give up.. That comment, my dad's voice will ring in my head. So.. i'll never give up, because I don't want to let my dad down.
And my mom is truly a awesome one as well! I seriously can't imagine myself working more than 12 hours a day, and continue doing house chores after that, and with less than 5 hours of sleep everyday too.. She's really a superwoman! @.@ I'm always impressed by my mom's capability and determination! I wonder could I ever do all those repetitively for 30 over years?? >.<"
SOoooo.. the point is.. I have an awesome parents!! Love yall from the bottom of my heart~ ♥mwahh♥ And I'll always give my best, to not disappoint you.. This is a promise.. =)
