field trip


first field trip was held last weekend. it was a crazee and fun one as it was the first outing with my coursemates after so many years studying together. was so busy throughout the week that i only managed to blog about it now. very tired and lazy actually but it would be a waste if i keep it to myself. it was a 2 days 1 night trip. went to veterinary research institute in ipoh. we were brought to few labs which were parasitology, serology and bacteriology. so, lets the pictures tell the story.....


somewhere in the institute





bacteria growth on agar



bacteria growth on blood agar - cow's blood cause it's very nutritious

(how easy, we were counting like mad when we were doing microbes last sem. ish!)

all kinds of nematode parasites



trematode parasites



parasites in dog's heart, the thin strands on the hole



cacing


er, didn't pay attention when explanation was made bout this...commonly found in human i think



ahh, fellow friends aka future biology teachers


then, after that visit, we headed to gunung lang, also in ipoh, a place situated totally out of expectation. very, very relaxed there. wish i am there again and lay myself on the grass staring at the sky breathing in fresh air. aaah.....
as the trip was named, field trip, so there were tasks and report after that. what a sacrifice. surprisingly we weren't even mind bout the tasks given besides report cause the place was so relaxing that we actually enjoyed doing it. let me list out the tasks....
  • mammal observing and trapping
  • birds watching
  • insects catching and trapping
  • aquatic organism
  • sample water
  • plant collection

again, let pictures replace the words

eggs boiling vs life

first of all... *sigh.

why?

i suppose to prepare myself 2 half boiled eggs for breakfast this morning and ended up to be 98% boiled eggs. what an egg boiler failure. then while i was eating, my mind was trying to diagnose my mistake, i accidently realised that life is similar to boiling eggs.

i will not know how long it takes to boil a quarter boiled, half boiled, three quarter boiled or boiled egg unless i start trying to boil one. in reality, we will not know if whatever suit us not or we like it not unless we try it out.

when i have tried boiling, i may get the half boiled eggs right or i may get other kinds of eggs instead. similarly in life, when we already have the aims in mind, we dont always achieve what we want and sometimes we are slapped with disappointments.

but in order to get my half boiled eggs, i trying boiling and boiling until i'm able to estimate the time and get good half boiled eggs. in reality, even though we fail, we continue to fight till we fulfill our dreams.

when i keep having raw eggs as the result, i finally change my method of boiling by dumping the eggs into the kettle and let them boil with the water. in reality, when we keep failing, we will change strategies or consulting friends, family, counsellor or anyone we feel comfortable.

even its raw, i still swallow them no matter what because they are my breakfast and continue my day as i've taken a great breakfast. in reality, even though we are facing difficult times and struggling, still, we keep on going and continue living like how its suppose to be.

so i try and try, never letting the raw eggs haunt me. as i tried, i'm getting better. similarly, don't be easily knocked down but when we practise more, we will and are getting better.

then when i already good at boiling eggs using the wok but because wok is unavailable, i use kettle back. as the result, i ate 98% boiled eggs today instead of half boiled eggs. in reality, we will not always in our comfort zone. we will be facing lotsa changes and bad things may happen when we are new or relocate.

but because i have experiences in boiling eggs using kettle, my skills in boiling wont be that suckz. so, today will be the control and i will improve by tomorrow by changing the independant variable. similarly, when we have experiences, we can survive in anywhere. our mistakes today will be lessons for tomorrow.

however, i will not know what kind of eggs i've boiled until i break them. just like our lives, we will not know what will happen to us unless we keep on moving, looking forward and reach for the day.

so ya, thats what i've figured out.

bazir saja

what's so wrong teaching and learning science and math in english?
?
??
hmmmmm......???
????
?????
not that i don't know completely since its so obvious malays are the one making such a big fuss about it but really don't understand the use of those people protesting out there. what a waste of time, energy, money, tear gas and news column.
aduhai, ketidakmatangan
if simply by protesting it can decides and changes the rules and laws of the country; then every chinese, indians, sikh and the rest of the races will be marching in the town
*sigh
kalau sendiri tidak ada semangat belajar, semangat berjuang dan semangat maju diri, bahasa apa pun tak ada gunanya..... fikir-fikirlah

sign of ageing back in action

as i watched my parents heading to the car under the superb heavy rain, there was this mixed feeling of mine arose in me.
feelings of reluctant, worry, guilty and accountability rushed in me.
i didnt know why but i was really worry for my parents to drive home after dropping me in tm. main factor would be the heavy pour and besides both of them looked rather tired. perhaps bro was usually traveling with them lately but now back to the old couple traveling by themselves.
this wasn't my first time feeling so but somehow the feelings struck me again today after quite a long time.
sign of ageing i suppose.
as i getting older, its not only me stacking up my age but my parents as well, thats when i feel they will need someone anytime.
because of that, the more i feel i should be by their sides, taking care of them or at least be with them.
its scary as day passing by, we never know who's leaving who but one thing for sure, everyone is a step closer to leave the world as the clock ticks.
so, besides depending 100% on god, whenever i can, i'l be going back because i know they want me to. yes, they do! dont ever doubt about that.
and thats y my fella friends in kl, its very rare of me to go kl unless i'm with my family or special case.

it's march...bulan tiga sudah tiba

in case anyone of you are too busy that you happen to forget there's this HUGE changes that gonna occur in our beloved country, think hard....think deep.... its MARCH now,.. yea, ITS MARCH NOW, and its the month where our prime minister chose to step down. remember? he announced it last year.

so, malaysia soon to have new pm! [duh!] baguih???? tak baguih??? tak tau la. and our new pm is none other than najib..... unless.... something somewhere in the middle goes wrong. its better not to say how majority or how minority actually supporting najib to be pm but its obvious that our politic is unstable...em, very da ~~unstable~~. in such case, i suggest anyone reading this and of course you are staying in malaysia, load your stock (food esp) at home asap, at least enough for you to survive for a month.

a'ah, anda tidak dapat menjangka apa yang bakal menanti anda/ orang malaysia. setidak-tidaknya dengan adanya makanan kita boleh kunci rumah, goyang kaki, tengok dvd, makan suka hati. darurat pun tak takut. hahaha!
