Hi Tanji,

(1) How many postgraduate students (by research) in Malaysia? Suddenly, I've got an idea.

(2) I noticed that you have been consistently giving lots of practical and valuable advices to the research students. Not to mention that you are also Dr Notebook.

(3) If you write a 100~150-page self-help book in this topic and this book is priced under RM 20.00, most of them will benefit from your Midas touch in a lot of areas, i.e. academic, time management, communication skills, research skills, software & equipment, ethics, publications, working with RTM2, traveling, etc.

(4) Plant a tree, write a book, and have a child... that's what Jose Marti said when he was asked what every man ought to do before he dies. You worked on seaweeds (Kappaphycus and Eucheuma Sea Bird's Nests), didn't you? Because writing a thesis is not the same as writing a book, therefore, please consider the idea seriously.

(5) After publishing the book, you can get married to your girlfriend and have a child then.
