Design of Experiments and Design Expert

What it is all about.. ;-)

Salam..

I went to FST (Faculty of Science and Technology) today for a short course on design of experiments. Well, mainly it focuses on the usage of Design Expert software for designing our experiment according to the specific objectives that we wish to obtain.

It is very informative, especially since I sincerely think that design is first and foremost when doing experiments, and unfortunately as someone from an engineering background, I don't think that I'm fully trained on the experimental design side of experiments. Sometimes when my dad ask me questions about my research methodology, I'm quite stumped to answer the theoretical part (he always asks me about t-test, post test, and such).

"Engineers use the theories, scientists develop it" is basically what I've been taught. So sometimes it is quite hard to imagine the importance of it, which is why some exposure to this part of research methodology is very important.

Oh well, have to get back to the course. Will update on more of the importance later!

The software! =)

Thanks for reading.

And sorry if the subject bores you to death.. Hehe.. Sometimes I just open Blogger and write, and this is the result! Lol..

Me out~

I have always had some trouble expressing myself to other people when I'm sad.. Someone once said that she thought I was angry (because I kept quiet the whole time) when the truth is, I was feeling out of it. Maybe I need a shrink?

Ha-ha..

Nahh, I don't think so, at least not at the moment. Seems like bottling it all inside and let loose once in a while by bawling my eyes out crying is the best medicine for me because I felt calmer and less sad (and more melancholic) and I can keep on functioning like nothing is wrong. That, I think, is more important than dwelling on things that I cannot change without risking things that I don't feel like risking.

=)

Enough with those Kleenex-moment stuffs. Right now I'm preparing for my presentation this evening. Its a proposal presentation, and I've already did the best I could with the slides, so hopefully everything will go as planned.

Wish me luck!

My latest addition to my poems. Have been neglecting those for a while, haven't I? Well, here's something that I've written..

_ . : Wishes : . _

i wish i could go

so far, far, far and away

where the sun is always shining

and the flowers are blooming

where it rains when it gets too hot

and shines like the Northern star

the trees and the wind, hugging me

when my thoughts turn too dark

i wish i could fly

be free like the birds

laughing through the skies

spreading my wings wide

forgetting all the things

that makes my eyes blur

feeling so helpless

and shaking uncontrollably

i wish to forget

i wish to forgive

i wish to be better

a better person than i am yesterday

i wish to be strong

i wish to be good enough

to accept things as they are

to never blame, and never judge

even though sometimes i wanna cry

and cry i did

it helps to know

that i will give my all

to see another day go by

and maybe, just maybe

the birds will fly again

and I will be

free.
