Introducing..

my awesome thesis supervisor.. Prof Dato Dr. Mushrifah Idris!

A year ago, I remember knocking door to door talking to different lecturers on thesis title. Honestly, I have never thought of choosing her initially. I am not too sure why. Maybe rumours said that she's super busy that she will not have time for her students? But after much prayer, God led me to her through a senior! It was something pretty divine and definitely last minute. However, once God led me to her, I knew almost immediately she is the one (sounds like I'm looking for a life partner huh?)! but I do not want a miserable 1 year with a "mediocre" supervisor. It's a precious one year of learning!

All glory to God, when God handpicked something for you, it never goes wrong. He knows who I can work with and who I can relate! Well, of course, He is God right? haha.. Prof has been such an inspiration for me. One word of summary about her : superwoman - a mother, wife, lecturer, head of projects. Mind you, she is definitely busy!

There are so many lessons that I have learnt from her. Always nagging us to be technical and detailed in writing (although I am still not very good at it), to read more, to think bigger and wider and the list goes on. I totally admire the immense knowledge she has, the poise she carries and yet very, very down to earth (the photo speaks a lot right?). Yes, she is very busy but I totally appreciate the time she took out for us. I remember she gave us almost a 5 hours lecture - showing us pictures for our research work, her trip to Germany, her ghostly encounter in FST and of course a very good bio lesson! (She has got no time for us?never listen to lousy rumours!)! Sometimes I think listening to her for 1 hour is better than my 10 hours of reading journals. haha.. I guess the greatest thing she instilled in me is the continuous yearning to learn more and be positive in life!

Much tears and headaches were laboured in this book. VIVA has ended today. Next week I am gonna submit jilid-ed thesis. Gosh, see how fast time flies. =/ As I reflect, I have learnt so much about myself and of course in this arena of science. I really want to thank my SUPER GOOD God for walking this season of life with me. He has placed so many amazing people to pray and support me to press on! Personally I wanna thank my family, Joyce Teh, Joyce Ngeow, Cher Linn, Kak Za, Hazizi, AMG, lengluilengchai peeps, Sok Ling, Khairi and so many more! You have played a mojor part in this process! You guys are terrific!

oh ya, did i forget to mention that she is very pretty too? haha. Secret to beauty - Jane Fonda home exercise!

What are you imagining now?

Hello, it's me Sitting in a newly organized room with a eucalyptus aroma saturating the room gives me a kind of serenity in the midst of this chaotic world. I haven't been writing for ages and I thought perhaps I could start again since writing (or blogging) does organize my thoughts. I am also surprised that I could still log in to my dusty blog and the fact that it still sort-of exists. I read a book on "The New Species" by Greg Violi and this gave me a new perspective on my identity and my struggle with the old vs new self. Did you know that our imaginations and thoughts are very powerful - making or breaking us, spurring us towards God or against God, a catalyst of our emotions and feelings? The best way to describe God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit can be this. A thought birthed in God, our Father, and it is spoken by the Word himself, Jesus, and the Spirit executes it. In creating the world, all these thoughts and imaginations of how it will turn out to...

My first in 2014

Two years have passed since my last blog entry. How fast time flies. I decided to change the blog layout just to give a gist of freshness to it. Many things have changed since 2012 - most of all, myself. I guess two years of working (or slightly more) opened up my worldview and definitely altered some perspective of life. Most of all, God has done so many things in my life! In life, nothing is constant but His faithfulness remains through it all. I am excited to see what lies ahead of me - His Glory and Kingdom. (Pardon my vague updates, I am still trying to figure out how to privatize my blog so that I could only allow personal access to this. Till then, see you next round soon, hopefully)
