REsearch..REsearch..REsearch..

haissh...just when i thought i've settled down with a title with the submission of my assigned task, i went to change it AGAIN..so RESEARCH definitely is like a never ending process..u keep on changing the content, the title, the focus, the subject...i felt like it was impossible to send in the research proposal last monday. but i was glad that i managed to submit it to turnitin just hours before the due date and submit the hard copy the following day.phewww... Glad does not mean that i was happy with my work. to be honest, i'm a bit worried about my proposal especially when dr johan said "nipisnya" when i handed it in tuesday evening. So many things have been discussed in other courses that i felt like i really needed to change my title. so there it was..on tuesday evening..a copy of my proposal with a title that has been changed for probably the fourth of fifth time..Although i was definitely not happy with the outcome(i know i can do better), i've discovered quite a number of things along the way. Probably even figured out what to amend for the real dissertation next year. Just hope that my marks will not be as bad..huhu..now i have to update this blog to include journals that are relevant to my new title..something to do with INTERTEXTUALITY and TEACHERS' BELIEF...

 p/s: Please be kind with the marking DR Johan and DR Teoh..;-)
