All the best..!!

I really hope I can do this.. Last year, I've had Amzar, Fahmi, Nadia and Gee to help me and Syed covering about 22 sites all over Peninsular Malaysia. This year, it will be different - without Amzar who is currently a Research Assistant at USM Kubang Krian, Nadia who is currently working and Gee who is now teaching at Langkawi. Fahmi will be joining me when we head south (second league).

This year, there are about 55 sites all over Peninsular Malaysia need to cover. To date, I only got 2 helpers - Wana and Iqa, both were my former students who is recently completed their under graduate study. Syed agree to help me but he will only be available if there is no Department of Faculty activities that he is compulsory to attend.. I really need at least 2 boys to help me and Syed (once he can join me..) during sampling.. I hope I can get them before heading to Kelantan.. I need commitment helpers for the rest of the trip.. If not, I'm in trouble, man..

I really, really hope to be able to make this happen.. Wish me, everyone!!

Mega Sampling II Countdown: 20 days to go..

at last.. baru rasa senang sikit.. dua tiga minggu lepas serabut sket dengan files hilang tu (blog lagi satu..), nak buat poster untuk conference dan macam2 lagi lah.. takdan nak menulis emel atau update blog pun.. minggu ni, alhamdulillah.. rasanya semua dah back to 'normal' (apa yang tak normal tu.., sendiri agak la eh!!)

minggu lepas pi conference kat Univ. of Cambridge (yang grand itu..) selama seminggu.. mmg best.. conference tu untuk post graduate in conservation biology.. kira kalau korang into conservation, mmg sesuai sangat dengar conference tuu.. sangat menarik.. insyaAllah, kalau ada rezeki, tahun depan nak pi lagi.. hehe.. banyak benda pasal conservation dapat belajar dari talks yang mostly very good tuu.. ada yang faham, ada yang tak berapa faham dan ada yang tak faham pa per pun.. hehe.. biasa ler..

soon, my 2nd round sampling will be ON.. progress slow sket at the moment.. tak banyak progress sbb terstop dek kerana 'kesilapan yang tidak dijangkakan' (pernggan 1st, ayat ke-2) tu.. haha.. saya ter'clear' files yang agak banyak.. hingga saya hilang mood selama seminggu lebih; tak buat apa2, jadi cam orang dok berapa cerdik gitu.. hehe.. but now ok dah.. banyak yang hilang tu dah recover dah.. well.. buat smula ler.. since aritu dah tau cara nak buat, so bila buat lain kira cam 'kacang' la jugak.. cuma yang susahnya ialah nak kupas 'kulit' kacang tuu.. (baca: key-in data!) hehe.. nasib baik ada hardcopy.. kalau tak, mau meraung dengar sampai M'sia..

insyaAllah, end of this month, akan balik seperti yang dijanjikan untuk bersampling kali-2 dan terakhir untuk projek PhD nii.. harap sangat2 team aritu boleh ikut.. kalau tak, kena cari team baru..setakat ni, dah dapat kebenaran sampling dari Kedah, Penang, tp N. 9 tak bagi guna skocker plak.. pastu, Johor suruh minta dari ibu pejabat plak.. haru sungguh.. Kelantan ok gak rasanya.. saya masih tunggu banyak lagi - Perlis, Perak, Terengganu, Pahang dan Selangor..

untuk kali ni Selangor kena pi jugak.. harap2 boleh guna FRIM; since Izzati ada kat FRIM and she is currently working on freshwater fish, might as well collaborate with her.. Johor, rasanya takde masalah KALAU dapat join xpdc G. Berlumut tuu.. boleh kautim masa tu untuk sampling kat tempat lain.. Taman Negara Johor (G. Ledang) masih tak bagi jawapan lagi tapi rasanya boleh kot.. insyaAllah...
