MY LIFE AS A STUDENT

There isn’t much story about my student life. As long as we study we should be called as student. So as a student I study. But to be a better person study alone is not enough. When you apply for any post in a government and private sectors don’t ever aspects them to ask what have you study during our university life. They just want to know what lesson have your obtain throughout your student life. Moreover, it is wrong to study because you want to get good job but study because your love knowledge. Then only you will appreciate knowledge that you had gained. Besides, never think you will stop to be a student after your finish school or university because we will never stop study and gain knowledge because experience itself is a much better teacher.

After high school, I dreamt to travel outside our own country for knowledge but it might just a dream. Instead I went somewhere that I never expected to go. IIUM. Even though I can’t achieve my dream it wasn’t wrong to dream big. So, I went to mciium for my tertiary education. In mciium, I’m just a student. Going to class, doing assignment and attending examination were my routine. Then in iium I had change my thinking. I started to realize study alone is not enough. Student life is the platform where we should enjoy our life as a teenager. Make friends, join any interesting activities etc. Thus, this last 2 years is the best time of my life where I really put effort to enjoy my student life. I still continue attending class, doing assignment and struggle for examination but I also sharpen my skill and strengthen my social life. I feel proud to be a student.

My project is basically to evaluate acute toxicity level of ethyl acetate extract of sapium bacatum. The objectives will be achieved by studying the gross and histological response of liver tissue to the compound. 4 groups of rat will be received different dosage of extract and observed for mortality within 14 days after injection. Any dead rats will be undergoing necroscopy while the rest will be killed after the last 14 days.

The road taken…

Being born in middle class family doesn’t mean you are destined to be succeeded or failed. However it does mean your life will be better than someone else in this world. That’s what I have learned so far throughout my entire life. I was born at a small clinic in batu pahat on 10^th july 1986, the year of tiger according to Chinese calendar. That was the same year my grand dad died. My name was taken after my grand mom name sutirah. Even though I was born in johor, our family stayed in terengganu. I spent most of my early life in this state. Then, when I was in form 4, I started to learn to live independently. I was accepted to study in a boarding school in kelantan. I spent 2 years there until I finished my secondary school. Again I was fortunate to be chosen as 1 of the participant for PLKN (on the 1^st first batch for the 1^st year). For no reason I continued my life in mciium. Then, iium. There wasn’t much reason why I chose iium at the 1^st place and even my current course. The reason that I can give is I love to gain new knowledge which makes me proud of having it and where will I get it isn’t my concern. My life is really simple.

my own regret...

it is more than 1 year since i post anything into my blog. i dont really know what should i put into this post. just to inform that im return to this area again as a new person :-)~

One upon a time in Singapore...

On 21^st -23^rd of June 2008, a group of 13 Biomedical Sciences students with 3 lecturers made an educational trip to Singapore. As the participants, I’m really glad to be chosen as one of them.

In Singapore, we stayed at Hotel 18 Opera. We arrived there by public bus from Kuala Lumpur. It was a bit of energy consuming when coming to matter like finding places for meal each time because we need to think about getting halal foods, which was not as easy as our own country. This experience really remind me of my dad story when he was doing his intern year in Jogjakarta Indonesia. My dad and his friend went to a restaurant for lunch. Once they received the menu, they attracted to a menu which sound like ‘chimey’ if I’m not mistaken. However, once the orders were sent to their table, it really surprised them. The meal was actually frog meat (it just that Muslim is not allowed to eat them). Within seconds, they run out of that restaurant. I really hope that similar situation wouldn’t happen to any of us. Back to my story, since some of them already been there before, it was quite helpful. In term of transportations in Singapore, we normally used taxi (…but it was originally a van that modified to be taxi…to accommodate more people like us). In my observation, there weren’t many individual cars on roads since the citizens preferred to use taxis, buses or MRT as their transports.

Since we arrived here earlier, we had a walk aroud our hotel area such as to Kg. Gelam. This place tell a story about malay in the land of Singapore. We also went to Geylang area to fill our free time before going back to hotel for a rest and sleep. Before that, we also went to some historical places to have an overview of this country history.

We began our formal activity on the 2^nd day to National University Singapore (NUS). There, we visited some of the departments under Biology Fakulty. We also got chance to have a short visited to their animal museam that display variety of fauna species which some of them came from Malaysia. One of their popular research here is designing fish that able to glow in the dark know as zebra fish (this is quite interesting part of the visit). From there, we continue our afternoon activity at the Botanical Garden. Besides experiencing with diversity of flora species (which is totally different from the previous place), we also had enjoy time to shop here even though the prices were quite high for us to afford items they sell here. We finished our first day trip by returning back to our hotel.

Third or last day was coming after all. According to our schedule, we ought to go to Biopolis that morning. Before that, we checked out first. The Valley really fascinated our eyes. The place is like the building we normally saw in most science fiction building with complicated stuffs (…it might be just me that imagine it like that). The building that we visited was known as Genome since it normally deals with genes or genetics. As far as I can comment, it really occupied with latest technology that surely cost billion dollars. Before return to Malaysia, in the afternoon, we went shopping for souvenirs. Some of us had their own time to enjoy the visit.

At the end we arrived in Kuala Lumpur at around 1 a.m. in the morning.
