UPM rangkul 3 anugerah utama MTE

Salam...this is a news taken from Utusan Malaysia (7th of March 2009)...The innovation in my master's project (Fruits Grater and Peeler) has been awarded The Very Best Award...Praise be to Allah...:-)...

SERDANG 6 Mac – Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) merangkul tiga daripada empat anugerah utama pada Ekspo Teknologi Malaysia (MTE) 2009 yang berlangsung di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC) baru-baru ini.

Naib Canselor UPM, Profesor Datuk Dr. Nik Mustapha R. Abdullah berkata, anugerah tersebut adalah Best of The Best Award, The Very Best Award dan Women Innovator of The Year.

Menurutnya, pameran tiga hari bermula 19 hingga 21 Februari lalu turut menganugerahkan UPM dengan enam pingat emas, sembilan perak dan 15 gangsa.

‘‘Ketiga-tiga anugerah tersebut semuanya dimonopoli oleh penyelidik wanita dari UPM.

‘‘Untuk Best of The Best Award diterima oleh Prof. Madya Dr. Sabira Khatun dari Fakulti Kejuruteraan UPM melalui reka cipta alatan yang digunakan sebagai infrastruktur rangkaian tanpa wayar yang lebih selamat,’’ katanya pada sidang akhbar di sini hari ini.

Katanya,
Dr. Siti Mazlina Mustapa Kamal dari fakulti yang sama telah memperoleh anugerah The Very Best Award dengan hasil ciptaannya iaitu
pemarut dan pengupas buah-buahan serta sayur-sayuran.

Tambahnya, anugerah Women Innovator of The Year diperoleh Prof. Madya Dr. Paridah Md. Tahir dari Institut Perhutanan Tropika dan Produk Hutan UPM melalui penciptaan mesin pemampat beroda yang dihasilkan daripada batang kelapa sawit.

Katanya, kejayaan mereka merangkul ketiga-tiga hadiah utama tersebut menunjukkan para penyelidik wanita UPM telah menunjukkan prestasi yang membanggakan.

‘‘Wanita sangat tekun bila melakukan penyelidikan. Kejayaan ini juga menunjukkan peranan mereka dalam bidang penyelidikan semakin menonjol,’’ katanya.

Nik Mustapha berkata, pada penganjuran kali ini Kementerian Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi selaku pengajur telah mempertandingkan empat anugerah utama selain pingat emas, perak dan gangsa.

Sebanyak 460 projek penyelidikan dipertandingkan dan UPM menghantar 31 projek penyelidikan berasaskan pertanian, sains kesihatan, bioteknologi, kejuruteraan komputer, senibina dan pendidikan.

‘‘Pameran ini disertai 55 organisasi yang sebahagian besarnya merupakan institusi pengajian tinggi awam dan swasta, institut penyelidikan dan sekolah-sekolah sains seluruh negara,’’ katanya

Above is the picture published in the newspaper...can't see my face from this angle...but I've circled my tudung with white...I wore purple tudung on that day...Tak nmpk muke pun xpe la...janji nmpk tudung...:p...hehe...Yang berdiri kat depan ni semuanye penyelidik wanita...The Power of Women..:-)...
The same news has also been reported in Buletin 1.30 on 8th of March...Although the press only highlighted my supervisor as the inventor, but I don't mind...I'm still happy since this project has gone this far...2 years ago, I've cracked my head until midnight to finish up the design ideas...Alhamdulillah,today the machine has been successfully developed and won 3 awards...

My main objective now is to complete my Masters studies...May Allah bless me...Aminn...:-)...

Working out my brain...

Assalamualaikum...
This entry is just a medium for me to relax my mind after focusing on my journal writing for the last 4 hours...in fact yesterday i've spent about 2 hours on this paper...

This is the lifestyle of the academicians cum researcher in a well-known public university such as UPM...being in the list as a Research University (RU) requires all the academic staffs to be productive in their research area...As a young academician, i need to start adapting myself to this hectic lifestyle since I'll become a lecturer insyaAllah in 3 or 4 years time from now after completing my doctorate studies...

Being a full-fledged academician is one of my dream...The satisfaction is undescribable...but the total happiness comes from Allah S.W.T...The Most Gracious,The Most Merciful...may Allah shows me the right way to achieve my dream...La haulawala quwataillabillah...

May Allah bless us all in whatever we do...amin...believe that happiness will come after hardship by Allah's leave...

NiGht Out With Hubby...:-)...

Hello...semalam lepas kerja, mintak hubby tolong bawak pegi bangi jap...nak pegi 'melawat' butik Hajaba...nak tengok2 tudung...sebab ade tudung baru dah sampai...so dalam kul5.30 tu kami bertolak dari UPM and sampai sane nak dekat pukul 6...bile sampai sane, kami tgk mmg bykla tudung baru sampai...tujuan dtg Hajaba sebab nak belikan tudung utk org lain..bukan utk diri sendiri...tapi takde sgt tudung yg berkenan di hati...except for the new design yg baru sampai...mule2 ingatkan nak amikla satu for me...tapi after discuss dgn hubby,akhirnye i beli jugak design baru tu...but not for me...utk org lain...kirenye nak bagi hadiah kat org lain la ni...hehe...lepas tu rase sedih jugak sebab takde satu utk diri sendiri...finally,cari punye cari,jumpe la satu tudung tu...so dptla sehelai...:-)...hubby kate, nak bandingkan dengan semua tudung kat Hajaba tu,tudung yg i tgh pakai lagi cantik...hehe...credit tu my dearest Ninie...:-D..
So,hasil belian tudung adalah 4 helai...1 for my supervisor...2 for other people...and 1 for me..:-D...

Dalam butik Hajaba

Ok...after grabbing a few tudungs from Hajaba,we headed home to have dinner and to perform maghrib's prayer...at 8 p.m., we headed to MidValley Megamall pulak....because hubby wanted to buy some books at MPH...and i also wanted to buy something for myself...PLUS,hubby nak belanja tgk wayang!!!...after 2 months married, last nite was the first time we watched movie together...sebab terlalu busy...weekend pulak takde je kat umah...so,hari bekerja je la yg tinggal....kami nak tengok cerita Upin & Ipin...hehehehe....so bile sampai,kami beli tiket dulu,pastu pegi ke MPH...

Dah 4 bulan tak dtg MPH Mid Valley...huhu...

Mase hubby tgh pilih2 buku, i 'mintak izin' jap nak gi Metrojaya...nak beli barang...hehe...pegi Metrojaya sebab nak pegi Benefit Cosmetics counter...comel je kaunter Benefit yg warna pink tuh...sebenarnye this is the first time nak beli barang kat Benefit...sebelum dtg ni,i dah buat research sikit pasal makeup base...I nak cari makeup base yg sesuai utk kulit i yg agak oily sikit nih...so,menurut kajian,Benefit ada satu produk yg sesuai utk kulit berminyak...mule2 berminat nak beli Strode Cream from MAC..tapi tak jadi...hehe...so akhirnye,beli dr.feelgood from Benefit...It is blended with Vitamin C to help smoothen away the fine lines and at the same time leaving skin feeling and looking more silky, flawless and matte to the touch..hehe...harap2 sesuai la produk ni...:-)...


dr.feelgood balm from Benefit

Benefit ade keluaran terbaru..CORALista...sejenis blusher powder..promoter tu siap pakaikan lagi kat muka..cantikss...hehe...tapi tak beli pun semalam...sebab i punye Dior blusher pun byk lagi...bape tahun lg nak abis pun taktau...hehe..tapi bole dipertimbangkan jugak nak beli since CORALista tu warna peach...hehe...sebenarnye my Dior 2-way-cake-foundation pun dah tinggal sikit...rase mcm nak try yg lain sebab dah lame sgt pakai yg ni...since mula2 kerja dulu...boring la pulak tibe2...hehe...so survey jugakla Benefit punye...tapi tak beli jugak sebab ingat nak balik umah dulu buat kajian lagi..hehe...nak tanye pendapat ramai org terutama my cousin, Hana..seorang makeup artist yg berbakat...:-D...sesiapa yg ade pendapat,bole la share dgn saye ye...:-)...

Btw, MAC ade buat party smlm kat Concourse area..mmg happening la..sempena nak lancarkan koleksi baru MAC HelloKitty...ramai gile org...semua dressed-up in black...hehe...i pun pakai black...tapi sebab ramai sgt org,malas lak nak join...semalam MAC anta sms jugak kat phone utk inform pasal bende nih...tapi nak masuk kedai MAC pun ramai....so batalkan je niat...tapi sempat la amik gambar lepas org semua dah balik...:-)...


Hehe...waktu amik gambar ni dah pukul 10 mlm.sebab tu org takde...tapi kami ade lagi sebab nak tgk wayang pukul 11.15 p.m...

So,lepas beli makanan utk dimakan (lapar tetibe), masukla wayang pukul 11.15...pukul 1,wayang pun abis and terus balik rumah...rase seronok sgt...dah lame tak tgk wayang...ade la 4 bulan termasuk 2 bulan sebelum kawin...mak i tak kasi keluar selalu time nak dekat2 kawin dulu sebab nanti tak manis...hehe...tapi bile dah kawin lagi seronok keluar,balikla lambat mane pun tak kesah sebab dah suami isteri..pastu terus balik umah sendiri jer...jadi kesimpulannye,perkahwinan ni adalah sesuatu yg indah and membawa keberkatan...:-)....

Ok,till then...nak pi masak sikit for lunch...:-)...seronok betul hidup org yg tgh study leave ni...hehe...tata...

Cherating...The Story...

Hello all...i'm back from Cherating...not much to tell...my hubby attended a writing course and i did my writing too...journal writing...baru half je...hehe...at the same time,i've checked a thesis draft of undergraduate final year project...memberangsangkan jugak diriku ini berkerja...department lain punye course,i pulak yg berjaye buat keje...

The first day we arrived there, we was so shocked to see the renovation process carried out at the lobby area...gosh...really demotivated at first...then i asked whether the hotel has spa treatment there,but the manager told me this hotel was under renovation and the spa was closed...huhuhuhu...tak tercapai impian nak ke spa...but maybe this is a good sign for me to finish up my writing without any distractions...hehe...btw, the sea view was superb!!!

Me on the day of arrival...

We didn't have much activities on the 1st day...hubby went out for swimming with his colleagues and I stayed in my room watching TV...by 6 p.m., i was so starving...there was no food in the room...try to find the hotel menu but was unable to find it..huhu...so i just waited patiently for hubby to come back...at 7.30 p.m., hubby finished his activity and both of us got ready to have our dinner together with other colleagues at 8.30 p.m...the dinner was great...we ate at 'kedai ikan bakar'...basically it's a seafood restaurant...kami makan dengan semangatnye ikan siakap,udang dan sotong...yumyum...at 10 p.m. they had a briefing and i waited for my hubby at the lobby area while surfing the internet...I have met a new friend there...her name is Kak Az...she is Dr.Tuah's wife...and she just got back from liverpool...we had a nice chat that evening about life and family planning...hehe...Then, after all the staffs of the Dept.of Mechanical Eng. finished their briefing session, we all went to our room and SLEEP la...penat gile travel for 4 hours...

On the 2nd day,we had our breakfast at 7.15 a.m...Then hubby went to the seminar room and I did my own work at the resort's cafe...at first i tried to eat all the foods available there...but after i felt like getting 'gemoks', then i stopped...hehe...the surrounding was so peaceful that i can concentrate on my writing...i started to write from the design construction part...extracted from my thesis...but it was not as easy as it sounds...i have changed the structure of the word so it will look different from my thesis...saje2 je seronok nak merumitkan kerja yg senang..hehe...

At 12.30 p.m., all of us had our lunch at the same cafe...after filling our stomach with lotsa delicious foods, me and hubby strolled along the beach...aziz (hubby's friend) was with us too...hehe...around 1 p.m.,we got back to our room and tido...hehe...

Me and hubby...

(^_^)v...


At 5.30 p.m., hubby wanted to play water polo with his colleagues and i followed him to the swimming pool...

Going out in the evening...

At 8.30 p.m, all of us had our special dinner together near the beach...the atmosphere was so good...and the foods were delicious too...:-)...


On the 3rd day, after having my breakfast, i continued to do my work...i decided to read the thesis draft of an undergraduate student...i love the environment at the cafe...maybe because i love the table runner...very english looking...hehe...it made my brain works twice more effective than it used to be...hehe...i'm feeling like buying one...a table runner with checked patterns might suits our dining table at home..hehe...(^_^)v...

Muke rajin...:-)..

So comfy...hehe...

Btw...the orange colour thing on the table is my 'bekal makanan'...hehe..i bought it from one of my colleague...brand: Tupperware...hehe...really cute...it comes together with 2 food containers and also a fork and a spoon...and all are in orange colour...heheheh....i have put some foods inside the containers so that i'll have something to eat during our journey back to KL...hehe...

Ok...we headed to KL at 1 p.m...and arrived safely at 5.30 p.m...alhamdulillah...this was a really enjoyable moment..i wish there will be other occasions like this in the future...

That's all for now...feeling sleepy rite now...till then....tata...
