Day 150 Task – Checking My Master Student’s Review Paper Manuscript

This project has been pending for quite some time and I am not proud of being very late. The task is quite overwhelming because it is quite a  long manuscript and the amount of interruption i always get from numerous other tasks, keeps me to put this into a delayed but important priority, and I am personally not happy with the way i treat this project. I must get it done once and for all. InsyaAllah, this week, it will be submitted, that’s a challenge to myself.

Day 148 Tasks (b) – Submission of CEE news to UTM News Hub

I was asked by the Director of CEE to write a news regarding the Big Engineering Education Meeting recently and to submit it to the central UTM NEws Hub. This was my first time writing to the news and it is pretty much an interesting news gathering system. The cooperate division of UTM utilizes a simple WordPress news system allowing contributor to submit news, off course the news will be reviewed first before it can be officially published. I guessed I will be sending more news and updates which has impact to UTM News Hub in future since I already registered an account as a news contributor.

Day 144 Task – Preparing CEE Hari Raya Video

Early in the morning all CEE members have this Webex meeting where we are going to produce a Hari Raya video. I was assigned to prepare the video. Even though I am not any kind of expert, I was given the responsibility and I have to fulfill it as soon as possible, before evening. After the Webex meeting, I have to sit down for 2 hours just to select and edit clips. It was a 50 minute webex video and I have to select 2 minutes worth of footage. After that I seek my son’s help to make the video better. In short, I am satisfied with the video despite of the very short notice and also the business of last day for Hari Raya preparation.

Day 143 Task – Toyota Foundation International Grant Program 2020

It’s almost Hari Raya and there are plenty of house chores need to be done. Cleaning and tidying up. Because of that, I did not perform any official task today. I’m sorry. So, how does our house looks like after cleaning?

Anyway, I did read about this Toyota Foundation International Grant Program 2020 which CEE will prepare a proposal for. There was a meeting yesterday but I couldn’t join because I was having this Active Learning Discussion.  Today I had the opportunity to check out to discuss a bit with Dr. Aziatul Niza and Dr. Nurzal Effiyana about the project where I am part of the team member. OK, need to work on this after Hari Raya soon. InsyaAllah.
