Day 141 Task – Completing Peer-reviewing process of technical and scientific projects Online Form
Day 140 Task – Reviewed Manuscript Under BCREC Journal
I almost forgot to review this manuscript but luckily I managed to submit before the deadline. Usually I will do my best to review any manuscripts submitted to me within 1-3 days. But this time, I accidentally reviewed after 7 days. My bad. Anyway, the job has been completed and as usual, it is interesting to review a new manuscript as I can learn many new scholarly knowledge regarding reaction and catalysis engineering.

Day 139 Task – CEE New Building Project Renovation Site Visit
Today, after getting permission to enter UTM, I headed directly to C09 block, which will be the new building block for Centre for Engineering Education (CEE), UTM. It is a massive, far bigger than what I have imagined before. The renovation will be monitored by Jabatan Harta Bina (JHB). We had a meeting just now with the JHB team to finalized the details requirement for the massive renovation, covering 2 floors of C09. May Allah make this easy and smooth. InsyaAllah.

Day 138 Task – Managing CEE’s AJEE Journal
I admit that it is not easy task to be a journal editor. I have to keep on managing, keeping track of the manuscript coming, reviewed, revised, camera ready and many more. But I appreciate this new experience and I am going to be there to grasp the challenge to make AJEE a Scopus Indexed journal. It is no easy task but so far, I can assure that we are on track to make that happen soon. InsyaAllah.
Today, I revisited the manuscripts and followed up several reviewers and authors. Hopefully everything will be a smooth journey.

Day 137 Task – Rest Day from All the Official Task
After a long and hectic week working at home, I decided to take a break which I need most. Even though I wanted to work, but I can’t. I realized it because I was mentally exhausted and that is the point i knew that I need to take a break again. Nothing to do. Just relax, watch some TV show, connect with my family and do some house cleaning.
Too much of something is bad enough… just like Spice Girl’s song.

Day 135 Task – The Big Engineering Education Research Meet Up
This is the first time I participated in a huge global Engineering Education meeting and more than 110 researchers associated to Engineering Education Research (EER) were here. There were several Keynote Talk that were staggered in 3 sessions on the 14th May 2020. The first session which was as early as 7am (Malaysia time) was presented by CEE Research Fellow, Dr. Nor Farawahidah Abdul Rahman. Her presentation was very interesting and can be viewed in this youtube link. The second Keynote Talk was from Dr. Kerrie Douglas from Purdue University, USA. The second session was at 6pm (Malaysia time)while the 3rd session was at 11pm (Malaysia time).
Overall, it was such an amazing session where the EER community gathered, exchange ideas and supported each others contribution. Bravo.

Day 134 Task – Not Much Progress Today
Unfortunately, unlike the other days, today is not a really productive day for me. There was this saying, “too much of something is bad enough…”. I felt that. Working too much, a lot, staring and facing the laptop kind of impacted me negatively. Hence today, I took a brief break, trying to rejuvenate and charge my power. Tomorow will be a massive day. Several staggered online meeting with EER people around the world and a plant design project seminar taking place on the afternoon.
Sorry…

Day 133 Task – Managing AJEE Journal Again
Today, I received 3 draft manuscript for AJEE journal. 2 of them were new manuscript while 1 was a correction version from an author out of Malaysia. Looking at this positive progress, it is very interesting that if God Will, InsyaAllah, we can have AJEE Volume 4, Issue 1, published in June. I’m glad and quite relieved with this situation.
