Update

I've been so busy with you know what. Merasa si Lukmang masuk blog i buang2 sawang in his french maid costume..hehe. My SV cakap, get something down on paper NOW don't just read, read, read...but i ni jenis suka read, read, read...sekali baca satu article will exponentially beranak ke 4,5 papers yang lain because each time i find an interesting one from the list of references, i have to have it. Lebih2 lagi sekarang ni nearly all journals are available online and pas tu boleh download and print (sorry pokok2...i know we're meant to be paperless tapi i still takleh baca atas skrin je, i nak conteng2 kat tepi jugak. When i get my degree i'll make it up by planting some trees or sponsor mana2 ada tree planting activity OK?)

Ni baru early stage of the whole thing but the sacrifices can be seen:

1. I spent my birthday, at home, calculating my sample size, OK?! Tak teringat pun nak berfoya2. Oleh tak kerana cake yg laki i beli the night before i might have forgotten about it totally. Cake saja, you'd want to say. But according to MG when he went to US in April, he got me 2 handbags yg harganya were enough to cover 10 birthday presents he said (cheapskate!). Saying that, birthday dia hari tu pun tak dapat apa2 present dari i..not because i taknak bagi but because he hasn't made up his mind apa dia nak. Latest request was for an all expenses paid trip to KB to go find the ultimate samping songket which of course would be the present. Jangan dia guna samping tu nak pi menikah lagi satu dah. So the trip is still pending, what with Kelantan banjir, MG yg sibuk ngalahkan pak menteri and of course come next year, bye2 social activities for me. (Btw, when MG got the cake and had it lit up and all, i kira, eh, napa the candles were grouped into 3 and 6? I baru nak cakap, tak cukup satu candle la! But i kept my mouth shut in time..laki i memang ingat i ni 3 years younger than him cam baya adik dia..hehe..jangan marak Esah!!)

2. Mataku yg semakin rabun dekat.

3. Miss AA, Esah...jangan marah....but the great GB trip may be off for me..huwaaaaa don't think my SV will sign borang keluar negera (utk foya2) for me. Furthermore, nak tanya bukak mulut pun i tak sanggup you...takut!

4. My friend's hubby had this idea yg buat phd ni easy kacang. Dapat dok rumah memanjang (tha's what my dad thinks also). So he wants his wife to stay at home more to look after the kids (with bibik). So my friend ni cakap to the clueless hubby, 'awak ingat buat phd ni senang?? Cuba tengok si Cik Kiah tu, dah tak rupa macam orang!'

Enough said! (But folks, i'm not exaggerating it but i think it's just me..i'm a sensitive soul. Dah 10 tahun i tak kena tegur ngan cikgu. So bila kena hari tu, 5 hari 5 malam i tak leh tido and muka stress memanjang).

Taraa..nak pi swimming dulu (boleh pulak ye?)
