Time really flies.., let's have a retro for what i have done in the year 2006...
Writing-up for thesis, correcting drafts...
Worked for CEBAR, involved in administration work, doing posters, and involved in promotion exhibitions. It's a good experience to know the what the public think of biotechnology and to deliver the message on biotech contribution to the society. Submitted my thesis for examination, finally after so many months...
Doing book translation, English to Chinese for two books... "How to Earn US Dollar in Your Pajamas" and "Pensonic", the latter is not on shelf yet... A good accomplishment for me (thanks to Adrian of Kanyin) and a good try... However, not becoming rich as no royalty for me... :p
Still a part-time patent drafter for a company (Thanks to Cheong Yee)... Got to now that actually to patent a stuffs is not that difficult, just have to follow the rules and depends what aspect you want to patent something... So consider earning some extra money to support living expenses...
Applied for TIGP, passed the interview through skype and got the offer... No GRE is required and TOEFL requirement has been waived (Thanks Jessica and DNA)...
Applied for Monbusho Scholarship, passed the English proficiency test and got the interview, but didn't turn up as decided to go Academia Sinica to damaging my head permanently... (I should write DNA's name on my answer sheet..:p)
As one of the organising committee of International Symposium on Molecular Farming in Plants 2006 (ISMFP 2006), successfully organised in June 2006. Get to know the how capability a secretary is, lots of things to be done and accomplished.., luckily Norul, Tengku and Huei Wearn are there... Always "serba-boleh", and got a "Amoi" during lucky draw (Thanks to Prof. Yasmin)...
Thesis examiner reports came in, only minor correction need to be done. Finished binding and "fight" for the dateline to attend convocation...
Finally convocation on 9th August 2006 in University Malaya, and received the scroll from Dr. Raja Nazrin Shah, prince of Perak State. Many thanks to those attending my convocation, and thanks for the gifts...
Prepared for leaving, busy with packing luggage, sending stuffs back hometown, discarding unused stuffs, farewell with friends and stay with family...
Really appreciate all my friends and family who are always with me, you are wonderful!! Thank you very much! (Too many to list...)
Leaving Malaysia, went to Singapore then flied to Taiwan... Leaving my cactus with Win Cheong and Michelle... Thanks to Fe Lex, Francis, Kar Woh and Prof. Wong for hosting everything...
Starting the life as a new foreign student in Academia Sinica, Institute of Molecular Biology... Started from zero and knowing new friends.., survived and adapted well as culture and language not much different from Malaysia...
Attending classes and seminars, doing assignment, studying, loitering, dreaming, blogging and etc... Went to Guess Guess Guess studio, really great experience! (Don't worry Chuen Yi, i'll bring you and Chee How there when you in Taiwan next time...) Of course do visiting around Taipei with friends from Malaysia...
Actually Academia Sinica is a good place for doing research, all the facilities and environment and very encouraging.., make TIGP as one of your choice to permanently damaging your head.
Won an iPod Video, very very lucky! Thanks to Agilent Technologies...
Prepared for mid term exam and seminar, but now, final exam.., good luck!
(I was very lazy to do exercise, but then now i'll exercise at lease 3 times in a week, consider a change for me...)
Happy New Year 2007!!!
Wish everyone have a prosperous, productive and fruitful new year!
Best of health, wealth, wisdom and luck in everything!
