Bukit Gasing

Everyone came into difficulties when they need to choose a topic for BIOL1030 video assignment. My group too. We can't simply pick any topic, as a real scientific data MUST be available for this project. We put lots of effort calling all GOs and NGOs we could find in the internet.

Yeah, sad to say that bureaucracy do limit our network and also succeed in putting us down. We almost gave up. Whenever we made calls, these GOs kept on holding it or passed it to someone else.

After so many obstacles, we finally made own decision to go to Bukit Gasing by our own. Depend solely on Nadzirah as my map reader (yg sgt ske buat ak cuak, kot2 la salah jln ke ape...) we managed to arrive safely. =]

But we haven't get the chance yet to really hike this secunder forest. Can't wait for this Sunday. Dr Khalitasan will assist us in our project =D

Field trip: UM

I went to Botanic Garden, UM last Saturday as part of out BIOL1030 field trip.
I saw thousands magnificent species which I once thought,"owh that's just another tree"
Now I learn to be more sensitive with my green surrounding.

Here's some pics...

Chemistry Video Conference


We had a link up session with UQ's pass leader at early as 8.am. Fuh.... Luckily the session went smoothly. This pass session was meant for CHEM1030. And our seniors were also 2 of the 4 pass leader present at that day. So proud of them. They also earn some money when they work as pass leader. But I never know the figure of their salary.... huhu... That's Micheal and Elaine, and our senior were sitting (not in the camera). We learnt a lot from them. Thanks guys! U're rock!! (quote from Azimah) =D


On the previous day, we had our FIRST prac for chemistry. (gare2 ketiadaan bhn kimia utk experiment pertame) "The extraction of caffeine from instant coffee" The entire class failed to obtain the caffeine crystal due to the fact that we never use an instant coffee. Instead, the lab ass provided us with the blended coffee, not the instant one. Sigh..... Poor us. (-_-)
