App review for ipad
I mainly used my ipad for my labwork and also for my reading
It is such a convinient to read paper from my ipad as i can do my reading while i do my polishing
And also while i am in bed
I also do major editing for my lab report and presentation
And it is easier to carry around to show my work to my sv too

So here is my heavily used apps




1. Goodreader (paid): must have!!! I read my textbook (pdf) in good reader because i cam easily annotate on it, and even leave bookmark so that i can revisit important info shud i need them again in future. most of ipad user swears by this

2. Dropbox (free) : cloud computing at its best. I used it mainly to transfer file from my desktop to ipad. You can install uploader in your mac/pc too so it will sync perfectly

3. Papers (free) : for my journal collection. Since i have papers on my macbook pro, i can sync my papers from ipad to mac. I also can used this for citation. This is like endnote but much better. Mac only

4. Mendeley (free): like Papers, but for windows. I dont like the intrrface, but my main pc at work is windows, so this is the only alternative. You can do citation too if you install the desktop app in your pc.

5. Merlin: kinda like microsoft project. Used it to record my progress. Mac only





6. Penultimate (paid): i bought this because sometimes i do notetaking with my pen. So this is in my opinion the best notetaking apps, plus it works perfectly with my ipad pen.

7. Ps express (free): for simple picture editing. Sometimes i uploaded some graph or figures for my presentation, so i usually edit it using this.

8: Keynote (paid). Must have. It is for powerpoint presentation. I love all the simple feature. Plus i also used keynote on my mac.

9. Pages (paid): Must have. This is the microsoft words for mac and ipad

10. Wunderlist (free) : to do apps. Very useful if you have lots of stuff to do adn you can sync this to your desktop too. I used this on my macbook for sometimes, but they just released the ipad apps. Must have.

11. Blogpress(paid): for blogging.

So this is few of many apps i have downloaded. But for work purposes, this is the main things that i think a must have in ipad especially for researcher.

Will update more later.

tadi sensei suruh pergi ikut bebudak nih pasang anvil

aku tukang tengok je laa

taknak aku kang debu2 masuk mata

dah laa main ngan power drill

takde masa aku nak join

so kerja aku jadi tukang pura2 interested

anyway

dah sebulan dah dekat nims nih

how was it?

i love it!

walaupon duduk dalam cubicle ciput jek

tapi rasa tenang jek duduk sini

dalam group aku ada 2 orang je pompuan

sorang budak master

just when i thought MSE was mainly dominated by women

not in here

sebab tuh siap ada incentive for woman researcher

ntah laa

but aku suka dan selesa duduk sini

my senpai (almost all from China)

is very helpful

in all sense

harap2 perasaan aku ni kekal laaa

got good news this morning
finally the email i have anxiously wait for last few months finally arrived
punyalaa panjang doa aku before bukak the said email
and imagine how happy i am
bila baca ayat

This letter is to inform you that you are
qualified the document screening of XXX , have been selected as a
recipient of the travel award to visit XXX take the interview for
the XXX graduate research assistantship as well as the entrance
examination to the Graduate Program of Materials Science and Engineering
at the XXX

Alhamdulillah!
syukur kepada Tuhan

terus call akmal..tapi tetiba ada awek jepun plak jawap
so sms je laaa..kena bagitau mak jah ni dulu sbb dia tolong aku suma tuh, kang dia cakap aku derhaka plak
pastuh baru bgtau mak aku
(teruk tol aku nih..akmal dulu baru mak hahaha)

at least one hurdle dah lepas
now next step, kena contact Prof T plak
and kena show my determination
nak kena korek balik slide master dulu
and prepare new slides for entrance exam

Prof T nih dah laa grad from northwestern univ, big ten U tuh
cam aku gak ah hahaha
no wonder english dia superb
dia punya research pon very fundamental
more on phase transformation, sma,

aku pun looking for something very fundamental
not application
sbb aku rasa inilaa benda aku paling susah nak faham masa belajar dulu
dislocation, band gap energy, fermi level, diffusion
tapi bila tak faham tuh laa makin kita nak tahu kan

doakanlah perjalanan aku nih smooth
amin
mungkin inilah hijrah aku :)

banyak lagi nak buat
serabut bkn sbb tak reti buat
tapi sbb takde resources suma tuh
susah laaa

on lab:

• nak confirmkan pasal Raman neh a.s.a.p.. rasa cam gi USM jek...kalau bleh gi time CNY lagi best...sambil jalan sambil buat lab
• after Raman kena wat AFM plak..neh pon kalau bleh siap dalam dua minggu pertama Feb
• lepas AFm, buat both vickers and adhesion test..then tengok under SEM
• pastuh compile2, siap yeay!

on writing

• deadline utk ICAME and AMPT
• start writing my research methodology (proper one! esp on surface pretreatment etc etc)
• dah bleh compile esp XRD and SEM, rough estimation
  

XRD and SEM results are inconclusive
not sure whether all are NCD
o mixture

really really need Raman to distinguish esp between the crystallite and NCD
