yay~ finally submitted my 1st draft on friday. tho kinda incomplete, cause there's still another set of data not completed yet, and i have no idea on how to vomit out a 2-pages conclusion. hahaha.
the 1st draft is basically essence already. cause i vomited it out from tuesday nite till thursday nite. apart from completing chapter 4, i actually amended chapter 1-3, so even though it's only 1st draft, it's my best. haha XD
it's all by the grace of God. praise and glory to the Lord =))
i was super relieved after submitted my 1st draft and played whole day yesterday and went to church in the evening XD but there're tests coming up. oh no~~~
glad to have a bunch of seniors who really take good care of me well and brought me around to have fun XD met a new friend too! a PhD students from electrical. haha.
people nowadays tend to ask, "where would u go after graduating?"
and i have a new plan last nite after attending church's service -- it's all by the will of God. wherever He wants me to, i'll try my best to obey it =) and then i would not have to worry about anything, because wherever i'll be, it's His will and so i believe He'll provide me with all kinds of necessities and i'll only have to stand there to get blessed XD
woohoo~ i experienced His abundant blessings once again today! weeeeheeeee~
around 10sth in the morning, my supervisor texted me saying that our 1st draft should be readied by now. and the 1st draft is inclusive of all chapters. and i was like, "OMG?"
seriously, i'm only at data analysis, haven't even get to analyze my data. and my intro, literature review and methodology need further amendments. i was like, "+_+"
then i consoled myself that God will be over all these. so i was like, "=)" again. haha
after class, before going to meet the PhD student, i received a message from my american friend, Chris, whom i know through Facebook, that he has prayed for me so that God will provide me whatever i want. i did share with him what i'm facing now. he's a good guy. we've been sharing all these while, just that i didn't contact him last year, for no reason =.= and connected back again cause i was looking for solution for Mann-Kendall test last week. so yeah, he's prayed for me =)
so i went to meet the malay guy, Naim, at 3pm.
after a brief intro, he has no idea of how to help me and turned to ask another two PhD malay girls, and so i was like, "oh God...."
okay, at least the two did explain a bit... but basically the discussion was equal to 0. and i started to be nervous cause they were going for a meeting at 4pm, with that, i felt abandoned.
blessings came...
before they really left, they chatted with a guy in front of a computer. well it turned out that that guy is rather familiar with regression analysis than Mann-Kendall test, and my data can be analyzed using regression analysis. so Naim and i moved over to approach that guy. from the conversation, i learned that he's also a PhD student, at the same time a lecturer.
i really really really thank God for his existence!!!
the amazingness is, he's seldom around in utm. it's so happened that he dropped by this afternoon just because he had to submit his PhD draft and amazingly he went to the computer lab to online!!!!!!!!!!!! while listening his explanation, i was like, "oh God, you're really great!" seriously...
i told him my situation and it's quite urgent cause i have to submit draft this friday.
he told me to find related papers to support my research. he can help me with the data analysis, as long as i'm able to get related papers. again i was like, "wow~ God, you're more than amazing!" haha!
it's so happened that his degree thesis was about regression and his current PhD research is about time series. i was more than "wow~" already. then he explained to me the details and also how to avoid from being killed by M16 during thesis presentation and shut those panels' mouth from asking me questions. haha! you should know that it's more than "wow wow~" hahahaha
see, my God is really amazing. He's really something! thank God for His mercy!! He knows that i dragged my work but still provide me and bless me, just because i call upon His name. how can you not "wow~" on my God? hahahahahaha!
seriously appreciate Chris and Carol's prayers on my thesis!!! i'm so blessed with these brother and sister around =D
thank you, Lord!
oh my heart, do not forget the blessings of the Lord in spite of all circumstances. =)
when God shuts a door, He'll open at least a window for me.
i've got a feeling
that i'm going to encounter Him fully in these coming weeks!
well, i was just being blessed by Him.
the PhD girl under the supervision of the maths lecturer i've found isn't able to guide me with my data analysis. she said she'll find another one to guide me. statistically, there's a probability that she won't be able to find any. BUT, by the grace of God, she found one!!
i know He won't cast me away from His side
cause i'm His precious daughter =D
He'll shower His abundant blessings on me like heavy downpour till i say enough! haha
i'm not at home for the first time ever for mother's day!!!!!
thanks to the Ministry of Higher Education!!!!
i'm gonna be naughty as usual to surprise my mum.
planned that at the end of april.
first i bought an OGAWA mini eye massager from Jackcow.com. it's a deal of around 50% discount. so i bought it at around rm29.90
as i thought mother's day was last Sunday, so i redeemed the coupon after i bought it and have them delivered to my mum before last Sunday. LOL! to avoid troubles, i put my mum's name as the recipient XD
as i always buy things online and post back home, so mum called when she received it.
she said, "you bought things again is it?"
so i said, "that's for you haha"
then she realized and said, "for mother's day one is it?" hahaha
i know she'll be quite happy with that. cause she has puffy eyes and always grumbles about it. lol
after quite some time, she called again
mum: "aiyo... i couldn't use that thing lar... it triggers my itchy nerves and i sneeze whenever i use it! so i use it as face massager"
hahahaha!!! my mum.. lolz
and i know she loves the california maki from Ten Ichi Restaurant. so i planned for 2nd round of surprise XD naughty as usual xD
so i asked help from my pig to be my postman. wahahaha...
then my pig is more evil than me and suggested, "why not hang it on your door and scare her?"
HAHAHAHA nice one! i love it. wahahaha
so i woke him up yesterday and urged him to go buy and hang it on my door before 2pm cause kitchen closes at 2pm and my mum would be at home around 2pm
who knows mum reached home around 1sth in the afternoon. so i had to find an excuse to get her to open the door. lol. i told her that my pig would be going over there to copy dramas and movies for her XD
after my pig put the sushi on the shoe cabinet.... and ran........
me: "go open the door... alvin reached house d..."
5mins later......
mum: "where's he? i didn't see him. i opened the grill and saw no one."
then i was laughing and said, "go see the shoe cabinet"
then my mum kept saying, "u said alvin's going to copy dramas for me right?" so i kept replying, "go see the shoe cabinet" hahahaha
then only she realized that there's a plastic bag on the cabinet and was surprise and very happy when she saw her beloved!! lol.
8pcs for rm36. not expensive actually. cause sushi king can never beat this down. lol
i'm a typical chinese who dont say "i love you, mum" and not even a stalk of flower XD
but i know what she likes so i always surprise her with her favorite. haha.
the church i attended at JB here had this mother's day celebration with this song composed by my own pastor.
julie and i were crying when we heard this song =.= and i envied those having their mums at church...
obviously we miss our mums lol.
wonder if i'll be at home not next year.................
just when i'm lost in analyzing my data, a mechanical junior finally scanned the chapter of regression from a statistical book with the instructions to analyze data with excel
and while exploring my stupid excel with the stoooopid mac, i found that i didnt have the "data analysis" function in that stupid excel.
so again, i asked mr Google.
he told me to download StatPlus. and i did.
and now, i can do analysis.
BUT
i dunno how to read the results!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA
so funny.
BUT
i'm happy
HAHAHAHAHAHA
thank you Lord!!!
a prayer can really move a mountain. try it and u'll know =DD
spreadsheet for Mann-Kendall Test not found
i can't do anything for my analysis part.
job not found
path in front seems to be in a mist.
BUT
He will certainly make a way
He will always be my side
i just have to keep holding on
and have faith
i was here without His prior consent
but i believe He will bring me through all these
'cause He's Jehovah-Jireh - the God who provides
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." - Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)
it's such a comfort that whenever i face difficulties, He speaks to me through His words.
in today's "Our Daily Bread", it mentioned that when we face desperate circumstances, we tend to look to other people for guidance and comfort. they are in the same boat, however - lost in an ocean of life's ups and downs. only God is outside the boat, sovereign, stable and strong enough to calm the storms (Psalm 107:24-25,29)
We worship a God who is greater than our greatest problem.
as usual, He's my comfort, my shelter, my refuge and strength =)
5days of holidays [i don't have classes on monday and friday] and i didn't make it to go back. return ticket cost about rm500. even tho i wont the one paying for it, i also couldn't be so mean to book it =.=
new cloth for my EZ Link card. thanks to Julie =)
