A Challenge

Yesterday I have attended a research skill training at London 
The course was organised by the RHUL Graduate School but they have it outside campus instead.. jauh pulak tu
BUT for me paying £20.50 on train's return journey ticket was all worth it as I really enjoy every moment of it 


The trainer has came out with something I could apply for my everyday life as a student
The methods he used while teaching us were different than any other person I have seen..using colours, pictures, hands-on activities and discussion has remind me of one of my favourite lecturers in my bachelor degree, Mr. Choo
Their methods were almost similar to each other but with different styles and approaches and I love 'em!
That was why I was able to get an A for Mr. Choo's subject.. :)


I have set a challenge to myself starting from today that I want to have a straight 10 days-challenge writing about a topic that I have set earlier in order to train me to be serial writer (for my thesis of course!). The rules would be; everyday, i must only write for 15 minutes (without checking any grammar mistakes or typo error) about the topic and it could be anytime but i believe my brain will works brilliantly and producing so many thoughts and ideas in the morning, so in the morning I may write! haha..
Once the 15 minutes writing time is over, I should print it out and from there I can start checking about my writing, look out for any grammar mistakes whatsoever..


I will let you know my thoughts and the results once I am done with it, OK?
Till then,


Salam  

my fungi book! :)

Fungi Workshop

some pictures taken during Fungi Workshop last Saturday

i was on live news that night as well cause there was a guy from Channel 4 came to make a coverage for fungi slot in the 7pm live news in Channel 4 and ITV news

that guy did told us to watch for it either the same night or the day after that

it turned out to be the same day and i managed to record the slot BUT unfortunately, I had trouble to send it over to youtube and paste it here.. demn! probably the file is too big

i will try to look for other option to upload it from my hp later

This Saturday

i'm going to Fungi Workshop in London this Saturday

this is my very own initiative to join this workshop as every informative lessons i may gain from the workshop will enhance my knowledge in fungal studies even more 

the places are limited for both workshop and fungal foray and all of them are fully booked since last August!

 can't really wait for it!!

"Ya Allah, berkatilah segala ilmu yang kupelajari agar dapatku aplikasikannya di masa akan datang. Penuhilah dadaku dengan ilmu yang akan mendekatkan diriku padaMu Ya Allah. Amin Ya Rabbal A'lamin"
