How was Malaysia?

Apa khabar org kampung?

Ikram has been thinking about cik su, mimi tok, atoks etc. since we were here..sian dia..
Two weeks in Pontian, Johor and two weeks in USJ, Subang gave opportunities to Ikram and Nadhirah to know their family.





Pic 1: Ikram melihat2 kapal terbang sblm pulang ke Malaysia



Nadhirah..first time met her relatives. Cried very loud at first but few days later, she always smiles, smiles and smiles…





Pic 2: Nadhirah with her father while waiting for departure



The food was GOOD although the price is going up…
The weather was also good, not too hot.
The conference was also OK. Had a chance to meet a lecturer that gave an idea about what I should do about my research after finishing my PhD.



What else? Oil prices…had a chance to queue up in a long line before 12.00 a.m. and we asked for a full tank. There were a lot of people and we even saw a situation where a Kancil’s driver filled diesel instead of petrol, so the driver have to suck out the diesel from his kancil.
All in all, hujan emas dinegeri org, hujan batu dinegeri sendiri, baik lagi negeri sendiri. We’re HOMESICK!!!!

PhD?
I’ve started my second year in Malaysia..he..he..
Not fully holiday in Malaysia because the first two weeks I did some data analysis to an Industry and the work is still going on. A statement from my co-supervisor’s email to the industry’s people, “Nazatul is on holiday, but…..”….Kena kuatkan semangat betul utk buat keje…
Few days before coming back to NZ, I received an email from my supervisor that told me a few things that I should do. For my own benefit actually..However, a first week here, I used only 20% or 10% of my time for doing research…Help me!!!


Good to be back to Malaysia. Wish to see all of you again. May be in NZ? Dtgler NZ..holiday..:)
