The past few days have been a whirlwind, leaving me little time to breathe, let alone write. I've initiated a few drafts, but lacking of the right mood to finish them. Hopefully, post ni berjaya sampai ke hujung instead of staying in drafts forever. Hehe.
Anyway, FRGS application season is here again. Based on the lessons learned from previous applications, I will submit another proposal this time. Believe it or not, this is my fifth time applying for the FRGS. No luck so far, but I'm not giving up! I'm learning with each application and looking forward to refining my proposal.
This round, I will carefully review my previous proposals, incorporating the feedback provided by the KPT panel. I recently had a productive personal consultation with Dato' Isa, a member of the Science domain FRGS panel. He meticulously examined every aspect of my proposal and provided invaluable guidance on how to strengthen it.
Following the discussion, I gained valuable insights into the shortcomings of my previous FRGS applications. These insights will be crucial in refining my current proposal. I have carefully noted all the advice received and will dedicate significant effort to polishing my application before submission. Semangat sikit kali ni and I want to put all the efforts I can to make the project work.
While previous rejections didn't significantly impact my research output due to my students' success with other funding sources, I'm now driven by a personal desire for professional growth. Successfully managing my own FRGS project will be a significant milestone, allowing me to expand my research expertise beyond guiding student projects.
Well, based on what I have been experiencing with my unsuccessful research grant applications, I can say that we all mess up sometimes, especially when we're not sure where to go in navigating our life. It's totally normal! The important thing is to learn from our blunders and use them to grow. Don't beat yourself up. Instead, just dust yourself off and keep moving forward. Here's to our success! 💪
