the outcome of my 4 months review meeting today

thumbs up!!
yeay!!

good starting, i guess?

late evening today, i received a short yet meaningful email from mr sv saying;

" I think this is absolutely splendid and is exactly what i wanted. Well done and thank you!"

it was about my review report that i've submitted to his inbox last week. Actually i am expecting some corrections and any additional points to be added in the report, but Alhamdulillah he is satisfied with that 4 pages report. Thank you Allah!

so, what's next? I am going to prepare myself for the review meeting with Mr. sv and my adviser to discuss about my project progress this coming Friday.. will do my best there~

yes Friday! = Eid-ul-Adha celebration = no cuti

update

as all of you know, I have just attended my first meeting on fungal fruiting in relation to different sort of fields (genetic, climate change etc) organised by BMS at Kew Gardens
overall i found it very interesting and as new intern, there will be lots of things to be learnt from these people
not many young people involved in this kind of activity, yeah.. most of them are seniors and old..tahap mak-ayah dan datuk-nenek.. really!

that's not the point, actually
the real point here is, these people has made a simple and viable study on mushrooms according to their research interest and later sit together in a room and shared their results within the people with the same interest that might include the locals too
i think the applying method is just cool! you don't have to be someone Dr. or Prof. in order to show your complicated methods and results to your audience..
it is just about being you -- either you're just local citizen or a researcher or an academia, they share everything

another story:
i have received a forwarded message from my sv yesterday
still about the Kew's meeting on the previous day
this time was about an interested postdoc from Imperial who has been interested with what my sv has been working on at the moment (that includes me) and came out with another theory approach to be applied together
so, mv sv has replied to the interested people, asking if he would be able to meet us and have a discussion about this
at first, i was kinda shocked, but i think this is the good way to expand network and started to think beyond the horizon..yeah, it's a good start
but before the meet-up, i need to study about that particular theory approach to get an understanding feature of it..

but, hold it!
i need to finish my 4 month progress report first..
the deadline is this Friday and a week after, i am going to have my first formal meeting with my sv and advisor..wish me luck guys!

esok

akan pergi ke Kew Gardens di Richmond
sempena Annual Conservation & Taxonomy Meeting British Mycological Society
dan akan bertemu pakar2 kulat specialising dalam aspek fungal fruiting
juga berpeluang berjumpa potential supervisor dari Norway
en. sv pun excited nak kenalkan saya dengan orang2 kat sana

nervous lagi..
huuuu..

working on manuscript

this afternoon, i am going to meet my sv to brief him about my ideas on our future manuscript
am not really sure whether he will likes it or not
but i have done my best after all
i am new into this manuscript thing, so i hope he will understand if i am still lacking in several aspects
i'm really excited to work on this project but at the same feel kinda nervous about it! am i going to produce a good manuscript? do i have enough contents to put in it? arrgggh!

...
hope everything will turn out well today..
