Bismillahhirrahmannirohim..

Assalamualaikum dear readers, 

First of all, let me introduce myself.

My name is..it's a long one. But, I like to introduce myself as 'Wani'. It's a common name in Malaysia, but I like my name as it is. I can't imagine to be called something else.

Anyway, I'm at my early 30's and currently living in Hiroshima, Japan with the love of my life and a  baby daughter.

I'm specialized in molecular biology/medicine and majoring in cancer research, specifically anti-cancer research.

My passion is teaching, that's why I set my mind to do higher degree so that I can end up being an academician. Little did I know, time have changed and the road to be an academician is not as straightforward as I once told. However, I should let you know that this has not break my spirit to one day I could stand in a big lecture hall, and pour my knowledge out to the younger generation.

I obtained my PhD at a rather young age, in my late 20's. 

My journey in getting the doctorate is not the usual ones which we often heard from other Malaysians. Worry not, one day, I'll share the story with you. 

After completing my PhD, I worked for University of Malaya in Hiroshima University for a collaboration project as a post-doctoral researcher. An effort I made for our little family.

Now, my contract has finished and I decided to stay in Japan for a moment longer to raise my family.

Like I said, my passion is teaching. Although I'm not given the opportunity (yet) to give a lecture in a lecture hall, I don't want that to stop me from pursuing my dream, doing what I love to do.

Alhamdulillah for the era we are living in right now. 

I hope I can use this medium to share my knowledge, to teach a little thing or two.

So, folks, I guess I'll be seeing you here.

Welcome to my virtual lecture hall :)
