The World From My Eyes

Well remember last time when I was working on my summer project over at the school of pharmacy I told you guys that my supervisor want to keep me working in her lab (refer to post title *Updates*). Well the research board did not agree on it so I won't get paid if I still work there. At the same time, the research institute that I was doing research during 2nd year was offering 3rd year students research scholarships to do a 10 week research project with maximum of 8 hours per week. How good was that? not only that you have to work for a maximum of one day per week, you get to do a mini research project and the best thing is that youu get paid. What more can you ask for? I really want to apply for that scholarship but I was worried that my summer supervisor would be offended as she put a lot of effort in trying to keep me in her lab. But when I told her about the scholarship, instantly she advised me to apply for it. So without hesitation I applied for the scholars...

After 3 months of not doing any sports, now I'm back on the field. Tonight was our first netball match for UQ Social Game. We will be playing every Wednesday night starting from tonight for the next 10 weeks. Actually this is our second time entering it, we entered the netball social game last year as well but it was outdoor. As the indoor fees was the same as outdoor, we thought of joining the indoor team this year. This is also part of our training for the coming NCG in July. Hopefully we can get gold this year. I've got bronze and silver for netball but now I want to add gold to the collection..hehe As for tonight's game, we lost 7-20 to Blue & White team. We can actually win this game but I guess it's the first time we (I mean me) played again after a long period of rest. My stamina really sucks..after the 1st quater I was really out of breath and started getting headache. I have to take note to start jogging to gain back my stamina after this....

Last weekend I was in Stradbroke Island (straddie) again for Biotech trip. I was there 2 years ago as a participant but now I'm there again under a different ticket, as a mentor. We left for the Island on Saturday morning. It was the same saturday as the MASCA Welcoming BBQ but as I had made up my mind to go to straddie, bye2 to the BBQ. Waiting to board the ferry to the island It was the same as I has remembered it. Except that the mentors didn't stayed at the VIP house, we stayed in the dorm just like the participants except that we had our own bathroom which was really convenient. There was nothing much for us mentors to do. We just had to assist the students in the workshops in the afternoon and participate in the trivia quiz at night where we got the highest mark. The rest are just free times that we can just relax and enjoy ourselves. Our accomodation The next day which was Sunday, we went for a walk at Lookout point. Here, we saw DOPLHINS!!...

Last weekend, it was a long weekend as it was Australia day on Monday (Australia Day tue hari merdeka dorg). So, it was a 3 days break. Yahoo!!. As I don't want to spend my holiday staying at home doing nothing, I rented a car and did some traveling. At first, I want to go to Canberra as ciktie kate bosan I changed the plan to Sunshine Coast. In the end, ciktie can't join as she have to work. On Saturday, me and Hana went to pick up the car at Valley where luck was on our side. If not, we couldn't get a car as it was out of stock already. Once we got the car, we were wondering where to go then we decided to go to Byron bay as both of us haven't been there yet. We drove south stopping at Twin  Town before headed for Byron Bay. Heading south Colourful mural at Twin Town Twin Town We went to the lighthouse at Byron bay where the view was MasyaAllah..so spectacular and breathtaking. Seriously lawa giler. The water was so clear that we can see sh...

It's been a while since I wrote a new post. This post is just update on what I've been going through lately.   Firstly, I started working in the lab since 5th January and it's been nearly a month already. How time flies. I'm starting to get some interesting results from my experiment. My supervisor said that there is something interesting with the result and with further experiments if things turn out fine, I might get my first paper published. InsyaAllah. I hope it will become a reality. My supervisor is really excited with the progress that she even ask me if i want to continue with the project when the semester starts. So, maybe if my timetable permits me to do so, I will be in the lab during the semester as well. Yay!!I'm sooo happy..hehe.. (bunyi nerd giler kan..but this is what I like doing).

Just bought ticket to London for the end of year trip!!! Airasia had a sale and the tix only costs less than RM2K. How good is that!! Winter in Europe.. Here I come!!!

How time flies. 6 weeks already gone and I'm left with my last week of work. It seems as it was yesterday that i first stepped into the sapphire lab at the school of pharmacy. Some of you maybe wondering ape la best sgt keje dlm lab nie? Well to me, the answer can be anything. Its subjective as everybody may have their own opinion about it. To me, doing research is my passion and i know that I'm doing something for the benefit of us human being. Besides that i get to meet a lot of people with different background. Who says that you don't meet people in the lab? I got more international experience while working in the lab. I got friends from the states, Austria, Taiwan, Germany, Sweden, Myanmar, France and even Bangladesh. Enough with that, i would like to share my work experience with you guys. For the last 6 weeks I've been testing cell migration in the presence of mango extracts. This is to prove that the fruit mango is good for our health. Obviously ...
