Mood: Gedik!

of searching
I have emailed a lot of researchers for a placement in either molecular cancer or animal biotechnology. I went to Kota Bharu to meet a potential supervisor, but I'll say the chance is not that good. I am okay with that, because this is also important, meeting and knowing your potential supervisor because deciding whether you want to study under him/her or not.
I've also emailed this researcher A, and she replied saying that she cannot take me as her student because of funding issues. Well, then I emailed a different researcher (researcher B) under the same institution, and he replied saying that his area is not related to what I want, and yes that sounds logical. He offered in forwarding my email to Researcher A. I thanked him for his effort but mentioned that I already emailed her and she said she had funding issues. However, he still forwarded my email (which was nice of him!) and then suddenly Researcher A said she would be happy to take me in as her students and we can arrange a meeting to discuss on potential projects. I went to Kuantan on Sat-Sun and then to Kelantan Mon-Tues, and so I couldnt check my emails until Wednesday. And researcher A emailed me saying to "reply my email promptly if you want to pursue a MSc in the institute, as there are still MANY students wanting to join my team". What a way to express arrogance. Well, I can answer with "I also have MANY researchers willing to be my supervisor", but then if I do the same, I am on the same level with her. Which is saddening and terrifying. Heh. If I cannot handle her via emails, how on Earth can I handle her in person. Double terror.
I have some researchers who are interested, and I just want what is best for me. I hope I can do something without offending them. :( It is not that I am not interested, each of them has interesting studies in their own research area, it is just that I have to find the one that suits me the best. And of course I have to consider the probability of FUNDING ISSUES.
Toodles.

Alhamdulillah
Yes, Alhamdulillah. I have two good news. :)
The first one: I have been offered to pursue my Masters and PhD by USM in molecular oncology.
The second one: I have been offered to pursue my Masters locally by UiTM in animal biotechnology.
Well, once I have got the offer letters, I thought molecular oncology would be the best path for me, well because it involves molecular studies, which is what I have spent four long years for. And because USM is one of the best university in Malaysia. :)
However, as I started to email a lot of researchers for placement, I discover that animal biotechnology is not that bad either. Well biotechnology is the name of my degree, and the studies involve a lot of our native flora and fauna. Which is also good for my country, to utilise to provide the best. :)
And honestly, I dont mind getting a place for either one, because it is more than enough. Alhamdulillah, Thank you Allah, permudahkanlah jalan dalam aku untuk mencari tempat untuk belajar, Kau berikanlah apa yang terbaik untukku. Ameen. :)
And my life is getting busier starting from
NOW. ;)
