Few weeks ago, I read a post in facebook about a cost of photostating that charge RM0.50 per piece of paper. Surprisingly, it happens in the government compound, in particular, the immigration department at Komplek Putrajaya, Kota Kinabalu. I thought it is fair for the operator to charge such cost.

A critic from my supervisor on my first accepted paper turns to be a tip that makes me understand better on how to improve my paper. After commenting on the paper as being so vague and out of the context, she asked me to do a summary for each paragraph I wrote. Once doing it, I found it very effective in ensuring that our idea flows smoothly. Thanks to my supervisor!
