April had been a long month for me. It felt longer than any other months passed by. Lets check it out.. is it really 30 days? Or maybe there's any additional days for this April 2009. Anyway maybe because lots of things happen on April.
THE GOOD NEWS
My effort on writing paper for oral presentation alast paid off when my paper was accepted to present at the Physiology Meeting 2009 held in Dublin, Ireland. Alast I had the opportunity to go to Ireland. I still can remember the frustration on 1999 when I'm being offered a place at Royal College of Surgeon right after I finished matriculation but the scholarship was withdrawn due to economic downturn. However, no regrets.. After all I might not be blessed as I am today if I went there before. Allah knows best.. Ya Allah hopefuly this time everything will went well.. Dublin, wait for us on July!!
THE BAD NEWS
After being working on a paper day and night, seeking for references and corrections by corrections for days I've devoted myself to.. I sent the paper to a reputable journal last month but this April they sent me a letter saying that they are not considering the paper for publication at their journal. Well really frustrating news! But still I determine to try again, they did suggested me to sent in to other journal so that is exactly what I have done and still waiting for the result.
THE SURPRISE
I was surprise when the dean had given me the trust to give a talk to the students in their research methodology workshop. Why? Because all the other speakers are reputable professors and experienced senior lecturers from various universities. Well I think this is a good start for me to polish the skill of giving a talk rather than always giving lecture.
Alot more had happened this month but enough writing.. I just can describe that this month passed with laughter, smile and even tears.. Hopefully the months ahead promises better news..Amin.
