Wow, this has really been a while. Bad news is I am working temporarily at IMR under a monthly contract,
good news is I have finally got a job in KL, at least working on what I am good at
I guess. I have heard that many fresh grads out there are having difficulties in securing a job elsewhere, lucky me. Most probably I'll be attending my viva
voce at the end of the month, so all the best to me! Hopefully the examiners will not be too picky
on my work and thesis write-up, otherwise I will need to take a long leave just to
do the correction. My plan is to submit the final copies within two days, though it's a bit
absurd but no
harm setting yourself a high yet achievable goal. Hope everything will come
in cooperation.
Different lab, different cultures as in different countries. I must admit that how the new lab is run is different from my previous lab, and of cause the hierarchy is
differed, apparently. I guess I just need to
adapt but at
same time stand still for what I think is scientifically right, by
tolerance of
cause. Hopefully people will understand. As a researcher, we should always think of 'tax payer' money instead of government money though they are actually from the same source.
Ethic is in our heart, give the best effort on what people (including yourself) have been investing
on us. The best proof will be publication from what you have researched on. The information is not only shared nationally but internationally. I personally think that this is
best approach for a researcher to give something in return to the society, which has 'shaped' you up regardless of your education level.
