Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me :)
This song is dedicated to all the Ph.D. candidates (including me )who wants to turn on the spirit of our research :)Believe in yourself.. you can do it!

What i have done in past 1 year for my PhD studying ??
![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BZPw6YWCIAE4UwT.jpg)
The times flies too fast. Week by week past like a blink of an eyes..What i have done in these previous time? Does it adequate enough to graduate on time, within the time frame? There are a lot of obstacle facing by me in my PhD journey such as below:
1. Far from my supervisor ( i m living at the northern part of Malaysia,Perlis, while my sv at Northern part of Malaysia,Shah Alam), It would take 7 hours travel hours to meet with my sv.
2. I m a wife and have one child. I have to take care of my husband, wait until my lovely daughter to fell asleep, then i can continue my work. But i have a whole day 8.00am till 5.00 to focus on my phd while my little daughter sent to the nursery.
3.Cost of travelling, collect data and meet an expert. I have to travel to KL, if i want to meet some expert in my courses.
4.Sometime, my daughter fell sick, fever, chicken pox, and many more, it would craving my time to be sacrifice...
5.My husband would sometime become one of the obstruction as well ,he would ask me to watch movie with him, everyday, so i had decided to move all my work station at another room. phewww..
But, overall. i think that i can manage well all those problem with strong determination that i will get my PhD no matter what happen.
Luckily, i have done this part :
1.Data collection have done.
2. Acquired a grants that will support my PhD.
3.Defense research proposal
4.Start doing the writing..writing and reading..
Hopefully god would ease my way, on getting my PhD on time :)

Paper Submission Target - Chapter Two
Here is the target journal that i would like to submit my paper.. "Frontiers of Earth Science" for my chapter two of PhD thesis. The details about this academic journal is such as below..The deadline of mine : end of September 2014..(must put in the milestone so that i would be more discipline ).
Aims & Scope |
FESCI publishes original, peer-reviewed, theoretical and experimental frontier research papers as well as significant review article of more general interest to earth scientists. The journal features articles dealing with observations, patterns, processes, and modeling of both inner spheres (including deep crust, mantle and core) and outer spheres (including atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere) of the earth, It aims at promoting communications and sharing knowledge among the international earth science communities. There will be thematic issues periodically featuring particular areas of earth science. The scope of this journal covers a broad range of earth science topics, including, but not limited to, physical geography, geology, geophysics, meteorology, oceanography, climatology, ecology, biology, global change, hydrology, environmental pollution, biochemical cycles, natural resources management, ecosystems and sustainability, land use/cover/change, environmental assessment and monitoring, remote sensing, instrumentation technology, data acquisition/processing/
|
Paper Submission Online
Manuscripts should be submitted to the journal at Paper Submission. Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, it will undergo language copy editing, typesetting, and reference validation in order to provide the highest publication quality possible.
So,now..have to collect all the relevant information regarding my topic, and having fun writing a literature review :)
