Today was super pact for me that I must be really organized in terms of time and action. Early in the morning I delivered the talk “Problem-based learning versus Project-based learning: A Sharing” for the School of Civil Engineering which took place from 9.30am-11.30am. Simultaneously at 10am I have to be in the UNITEN Workshop for the Problem-based Learning workshop but only can attend at 11.40am. This continued until 1.1opm.

I could not join the ICSEC2020 meeting at 12pm which I am a committee. At 2pm I have class till 3pm and after class I joined in the Problem-based Learning workshop.

Today is the 2nd day of the PBL Uniten Workshop. The first day of the event was posted here. It is very interesting to be part of the team to help the lecturers master PBL. I was in charge to facilitate several numbers of Information Technology lecturers.

I was invited to give a talk, but which I regarded more as a sharing session with School of Civil Engineering (SKA) this coming Thursday. Even tough some may think that it is simple to deliver such sharing, but we must properly prepare to deliver the best knowledge and information to others. The knowledge will then be used and implemented.

Besides this preparation, there are several other tasks today that needs to be done such as:

Marking Environmental Management Assignments, review a manuscript from MAPTR, 2 hours ITE Class, Meeting at 8am for ITE-ISP-ICP project integration, Managing AJEE journal, updating ICLCA website for the coming ICLCA2021 at Okayama Japan, continue filling up my eLPPT and BEM CPD, checking turnitin of the HTGYE chapters etc etc….

As usual, there’s no just one task only today. There are literally tonnes of tasks. But the one that I wanted to highlight is the session where I gave some tips, advice and comments to my IEM Mentee who is now working at Lotte Chemical Pasir Gudang (LCPG).

He sent me his report 1 week ago but I have not had the time to sit down and focus reading his report. This morning I spent some time scrutinizing his report and had a 30 minute telephone session to discuss with him about his report.

When I first saw his report, I must say it was a nice and detail report. A very good job for a first time writing the report. My tasks to mentor him will not be a tough one as this guy is very good. I do believe he is indeed an excellent engineer. He will touch up his report to make it better. InsyaAllah.

Other tasks of the day:

• Preparing for Master Environmental Management Class tomorrow
• Updating ICLCA website
• Review manuscript MAPTR
• Managing AJEE Journal.
• Printing some Surau and Koperasi minor Management stuff.
• Filling up some eLPPT 7p points which have not been filled up.

I will be having this Master MKKH1511 Class this coming Saturday and Sunday. It is a once a month class that I am teaching under UTM Pesisir Program. I really look forward for this class because it is very interesting and the students (19 of them) are all responsive and very active, even though it is conducted online.

Well, besides preparing for this, I also have several other important tasks that needed to be done, which among them are working on my own AJEE manuscript, grading assignments for my classes and others.

When I listed my pending tasks, I have more than 20 tasks. OMG! That’s a lot. But I need to stay calm and relax. Try to get one by one settle once and for all.

Today I checked the turnitin of the HTGYE book project. It needed to be checked one by one according to the chapter. There are several chapters that exceeded 20% and those need to be massively improved fast.

I also had my chapter to be revised too and I have to do it fast. Because after this I need to check and improve other chapters too.

I also had few other important tasks today such as a progress virtual meeting with my PhD student, Abdelrahim Minalla who is now in UAE, a Concept Mapping Workshop, reviewing manuscript journal and others.
