3D GIS Lab Iftar Gathering 2025

3D GIS Lab Iftar Gathering 2025

Yesterday, we’re treating the entire lab to iftar. It was a wonderful evening spent with my postgraduate students at our annual Iftar session! Great food, meaningful conversations, and a strong sense of camaraderie made it a truly memorable event.

Date: 13 March 2025

Venue: Gleneagles Terrace Restaurant, Pulai Springs Resort

In research, we push boundaries, tackle challenges, and work tirelessly towards innovation. But moments like this remind us that beyond hard work, we need time to connect, reflect, and recharge. A well-balanced journey is what keeps us moving forward.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined and made this gathering special. Looking forward to more moments like this in the future!

4TH CHAPTER: DONE AND DUSTED! (PART 2)

4TH CHAPTER: DONE AND DUSTED! (PART 2)

Referring to my previous post, I don’t see myself as extraordinary. Dato’ Seri Zaini Ujang, the former UTM Vice-Chancellor, published an entire book in just a week. What I’m doing is merely writing book chapters.

For an even greater example, Imam As-Shafie could write and complete a kitab in only three days. That level of expertise is beyond anything I can achieve.

In my last post, I shared how I completed my fourth book chapter, 5,800 words, 16 pages, and 40 references, in just six hours. That marked four chapters in two weeks, a personal milestone. The key lesson? Focus and persistence matter. Avoiding multitasking allowed me to work faster and more effectively.

Maybe our generation, myself included, has lost some of the discipline needed for deep work, or perhaps we’re too easily distracted, making quality writing a slower process. Let’s keep reminding and pushing each other to be better.

4TH CHAPTER COMPLETED – 4 CHAPTERS IN 2 WEEKS

4TH CHAPTER COMPLETED – 4 CHAPTERS IN 2 WEEKS

Finally, it’s a wrap! Chapter 4 is done, 5,800 words, 16 pages, and 40 references, completed in just 6 hours. Had to put it on hold on Wednesday, but today I squeezed in 1.5 hours to finish it strong.

This marks a major milestone, 4 book chapters completed in just 2 weeks. It wasn’t easy, but persistence and time management made it happen. One key takeaway: avoid multitasking, focus leads to faster and better results.

Every chapter is a challenge, and every challenge is a step forward. Alhamdulillah for the progress. Now, on to the next one!
