Cheated from death for the second time...6 Muharram (2 Dis), 6 pm

There is no scary story in my life than being cheated from death twice as a passenger to a friend who rode the motorcycle. The difference is that in 1993, my friend was in panicky state after seeing a lorry emerged at the corner. Both of us thrown down the cliff. Fortunately, I only had a fracture on the left knee and few bruises here and there. My friend escaped unhurt. I remember I was walking up in the sky, before the seven steps I heard my name being called up, only then I woke up from a short faint. It had taken me to September this year to end my phobia riding a motorcycle which I recovered after visiting Vietnam in that month. Since then, I had started to feel the fantastic feeling of riding a motorcycle again. Today, December 2nd 2011 at 6 pm, after only three months ending the phobia, the nightmare happened again.

On 29 Nov., when my former boss called me whether I was free to joint his short visit to Sidratul Enterprise at Kuala Kangsar Perak, I gave him the positive respond.

Generic Hypothesis

"Personality types have moderately affected the relationship between passion and academic career choice." This hypothesis is a generic hypothesis since there is no specification on what type of personality we are referring to. They are many types of personality being researched.

ADAPT vs ADOPT

My supervisor told me to beware of using questionnaire that is adapted or adopted. If the questionnaire is adapted, it means it's not original. The questionnaire has been changed to suit the context of the latest author. Therefore, we need to seek the original questionnaire from the first author. In the case where the author is adopting the questionnaire it means the questionnaire has been used as it is from the original author. Hence, we may use as it is or adapt it.
