Day 341 Task – Checking & Updating My NewRadis Account
Posted on December 6, 2020 ·
I am fortunate that I was awarded with several research grants this year and last year. To run the projects, I have appointed my student under the GRA and SRA scheme in NewRadis roughly 1 month ago. Unfortunately, the appointment require some amendment but I receive no email to notify me about this. I only realized this when I login my NewRadis account.
Although I felt like blaming the system why no email was sent to inform me about this, I am blaming myself as well because why I am not aggressive in following up on the matter. From now on, I need to regularly login to my NewRadis account on a weekly basis, perhaps every Monday, to check on any Returned Application or Pending Application. InsyaAllah, by being more aggressive, I won’t waste time.

Day 324 Task – Jurying PERTANDINGAN MATLAMAT PEMBANGUNAN MAMPAN ISKANDAR PUTERI 2020
Posted on November 18, 2020 ·
If yesterday I evaluated NALI2020 by assessing some of the innovative research in education highlighted, today I am assessing PERTANDINGAN MATLAMAT PEMBANGUNAN MAMPAN ISKANDAR PUTERI 2020, which is co-organized between UTM, JPNJ and IRDA. I am honored to be invited as jury for this time. It is not my first time as I was one of the jury for last year’s program. But this year, the methodology is very different and we all just have to adapt to the new norm.
Besides this jurying process, I also has successfully submitted a review manuscript to one Renewable Energy journal. It was such a monumental task and if this submission is approved, I can say it is one of the top of my achievement and my student’s achievement for this year. InsyaAllah. Please pray for us.

Day 323 Task – Jurying NALI2020
Posted on November 17, 2020 ·
Work is hectic as usual, but due dates on certain task has forced me to prioritized certain tasks rather than other long due tasks. Today, I allocated the first half of my day to focus on evaluating some of the projects showcased by the educators from UTM and the rest of Malaysia.
I went through a special access to read through the documentations, extended abstract as well as view the youtube videos prepared by the participants. Honestly, it is very interesting to read the innovations and ideas showed by the participants. I’m impressed and happy to see the progress. This is what develops the advancement of knowledge and technology.
After completing this task, I am going to shift to another jurying task which is the PERTANDINGAN MATLAMAT PEMBANGUNAN MAMPAN ISKANDAR PUTERI 2020, which were organized collectively by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Johor (JPNJ)and Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA). I was shocked reading the email by the organizer that just reached my inbox just now because they say that the jurying starts from 17 (today) to 19 November 2020.
I hope I can do all these tasks. InsyaAllah
