US Non-Immigrant Visa

Alhamdulillah. After just more than a week, today I already received my US Visa! Yahooooo! Alhamdulillah (Thanks God).

Now it's time to prepare and submit my MRS manuscript. Manuscript submission will open this Monday / March 16th. There're 2 manuscript that I have to submit... hope it's not that tough. Already finished the one for APL, now I have to make sure the data / graph I allocated for APL does not overlap with MRS.

There're so many thing to prepare in this 3 weeks time... the manuscripts, the presentation slides, the oral presentation text, and the poster for my 2nd presentation...

... and now the thing that's messing my mind is my server in Kuala Lumpur cannot be accessed... what's the problem there...? IP conflict? Not sure what's the problem. I'll contact Amran next morning. Need to sleep now...

Express visit to Osaka in 2 hours...

Just came back from Osaka for US Visa application/interview... and the good news is, I was at a place 500 km away south of Nagoya for less than 2 hours! No single second for travelling this time!

Went there by the fastest bullet train arriving at Shin-Osaka station at 9:36AM... and boarding an express train back to Nagoya at Namba Station at 11:00AM. What the heck!

I've to prepare Prof. Egawa's speech for an important international conference to be held at Nagoya University next week. So, there's a lot of time I need to spare for his 30 min speech. It's related to "Tokai Region (Japan) Nanotechnology Manufacturing Cluster Initiative" which our laboratory is gaining a lot of fund from. So, it's important to give good image for everybody's sake. Still working on his slides...

Okay, I'll post about the US Non-Immigrant Visa process in my next post. I just can't afford my time for that now. See ya'!
