employed!

yeay new post!sorry for not keeping my words to always update but yeah last two weeks were super busy with exams, reports and also catching up with tv series! i think i have so much to share but firstly..i'm employed! and that is one more reason why i'm busier than the start of this semester.

so currently i'm working at The Organic and All Natural Sisu Store and Coffee Bar on the 1st floor of Waring Commons. 2 shifts in the convenient store and one shift at the coffee bar.

well so far working is not bad, ok i just work for nearly two weeks kot, heee. Sunday morning shift is the easiest because all i have to do is feel in small two ounce cups with 1 ounce of cream cheese! yup that's all i do for two hours. habis kerja brunch kt Waring commons, yeay! i mean Waring have the best brunch kot, name any breakfast you wish to have, mostly ade kot. Last week brunch-ed with Apai and Gokun and Gokun was amazed how beautiful Waring is and betapa byknya foodsss..tu laaa sape sruh asyik bgn pkul 2 je every weekends :p

tuesday shift is the least favorite, x suka stalk2 barang..i mean i dont mind stalking all the stuff but i dont like it when the stuff need to be stalk is no where to be find in the basement! pembaziran masa, pengurusan barang2 di kedai tersebut adalah amat diperlukan.

thursday shift is at the coffee bar, i lyke! firstly, because the guy i'm working with is so much fun! x pernah rasa bosan or tertekan bila order for coffee and smoothie sgt byk. I can hardly remember how to make the many kind of coffee, yg plg ingat ialah how to make a hot chocolate, heee but he was always there covering for me, yup he is baik hati. but i can say i'm quite good with the smoothies, okay x de la ssh sgt pun nk igt ape nk ltk kan ;)

overall, i'm proud of myself that i've proven that i am not choose-y when it comes to finding a job on campus..trying to be konon2 a barista pun ok what ;)

i thought of putting up gmbr2 of my workplace tp sgnla kan nk amek2 gmbr2, heee. maybe later.

stressssss

Okayyy i think i’m starting to feel the stress of being my father’s daughter since it's already the final week of my pratical where i have a presentation and a report to finish. It’s just unfair to compare me and my dad in every single thing i do. As i was doing the biostatics analysis with my data of course la x mhr sgt kan with the program, i used Minitab kottt not SAS, so mesti la blank2kan..and then she said ‘Cmne x tau ANOVA tu ape..ayah kamu kt Biology kan dah biase ngn ni smua’..dlm hati i was like..that’s my daddddd puan not me. And then she explain ANOVA tu ape which i x fhm sgt pun..but i finally understand what ANOVA is after googling it myself, which is actually the analysis of variance and i have not learn it in Stat 250, so pastilah x tau kan..ok i’m not blaming her la kan..but still commenting me involving my dad is just menyedihkan. Yes, i am sensitive. But mase mula2 start training i was more sensitive tp lame-lame kerja mcm dh lali kot menghadapi berbagai-bagai kerenah orang.

And since mase tu tertekan kan menerima comment tersebut..My co-supervisor asked me while i was looking over the SAS program, do i like working here..and then dgn selambanye i answered with my eyes still fix at the computer..’no, i don’t think so i like it here’(that what happen when i’m streesed out at work, i tend to speak in English because speaking in BM mcm lemah lembut kan), dah ah ade bebrape pegawai lain juge dlm blk tu and obviously they know my father..n dah ah ckp dgn nada yg sgt pasti plk tu kan..but i didn’t really mean it..what i really mean is ‘no i don’t think so i like working here when everyone is expecting me to be as good as my dad.’ Because i just cant ok.

:(

Okay skg sgt stressed out about presentation on Wednesday. Tolonglah no more comments involving my dad. x pun Sabrina just stop being so sensitive.

I need my happy song and a bar of chocolate too.

:((

Tuesday's lunch break

so i'm already in the third week of this practical-ing thing. monday, yesterday..urghh i hate mondays.

I attended the seminar keselamatan, which is x tipu bosan gler at first..plik how can the penceramah which was once a rersearcher that travel all over the whole bleh choose to tukar and do occupitonal safety plakkk~ dah ah tertinggal hp di rumahhh, x mengantukkkk, x de break, 3 hours seminar striaghtttt...mmg experience pure bosan ah yesterday.

then after lunch it was time to get all the data yg bersepah-sepah di berbagai buku dan kertas together...PENING~
aiyaaa i should have known better to keep all the data in one place kemas2..and i should have already put everything dalam table cantik2 last weekkkk..tp tu la suke sgt proscatinate kan..so disebabkan i think i might just SCREAM if i go on trying to put the data together, i decided to pack my things and wait at the punch machine at 4.40!haha..dulu gler ah berazam x kan makan gaji buta, but i dont think i'll do that again kot~

and today tanam plantlet again!sukaaa..altough sakit belakang ah kan skit.. then continue to susun2 data again, x rase nk jerit dah because hari ni tuesday not monday :)

practical-ing (part 3)

Second Week:

I was done setting up experiment #3 in week one. So i set up the other experiment in week two. I was determine to finish everything by last week because i wanted more time to do the observation, u know to see any significant changes in a plant development does not take a day or two, weeks or even months maybe. So i was like doing my work dengan tekun dan pantas. I don't do the 10.00 am minum pagi and i went to lunch at 1.00 instead of 12.45 and go back at 5.30 and not 5.00 like stated on my punch card..haha, pekerja cemerlangkan!

setting up the experiment was quite simple yet time consuming except for the MoFATTnye apparatuslah that was hard...i had teary eyes while doing it..bukan sbb tertekan or somethg tp sakit..once i've got the picture i'll let u know which part of setting up the apparatus was sakit k.
see the connection made from the filter to the tube and from the tube to the flask? oh yes i just use my hands to fit the tube into the filter AND flask..it was super hard because the tubes were keras (i think because this apparatus need to be autoclave sbb tu kene tebal kot, not sure myself)..and then kene psg the strip mcm kt plastic bag tu again with the same hand..count urself ah brape sambungan one mofatt tu ade..then multiple it with 18 k..and imagine doing it with a cut on ur index finger..and u were only like three days in lab..and u start to imagine will the other experiment be as hard as this one...menangis ah kan..~

my index finger went blue and a bit swollen already half way.

mase mula2 not familiar with cutting the small embryonic callus to even smaller ones, i cut my finger twice and because i constantly use my fingers (duh of course ah kan) to set up other experiment, it started to bernanah a bit, my mum dah bising ah kan, she does not really like the idea of me going to work during cuti, she said i should just rest at home.

i think i enjoy myself learning new things but yeah there's a lot to do.. sediakn media, the radas and all, and everything need to be autoclave dulu which may take half a day, and then kene sdiakn the embryonic callus, kene bersihakn die, kene potong into smaller pieces, kene timbanglah (to know it grow ke x nnt) and then transfer it, everything is done in a sterile condition making it a little bit harder - then kene seal the flask, tuib or petri dish and then kene label plk, then kena wat paper work die, if like sepuluh je petri dish per experiment x pe, tp ni smpai berpuluh-puluh or even hundreds (exp #2,3) so it took me two days each to set up exp #2 and 3. after label kene amek gambar lagi for the record and then kene pndah all the sample to bilik pertumbuhan lagi, haaaa a lot of work kan.

tp pindahkan plantlets into the giffy pot kt nursery was fun!that was my first target mase start practical, to tanam pokok in the nursery!haha..x tau la knp mybe because i dont enjoy spending a lot of time in lab that much kot.. i planted 80 plantlets, 20 from each different stage.

so yeah, alhamdullilah berjaye set upkan everythg last week! yes! tinggal observation je nanti, altough mcm byk je observation kene wt tp at least x yh spent mase dlm laminar flow cabinet je!
:)

practical-ing (part 1)

the offer letter, the punch card, the day0ne name tag, the student id card, the stationary

hu'uh i'm very busy lately, so sorry if i'm not keeping things posted..haha.
i've started my practical at MPOB for two weeks now.busy amat. although i end my work at 5, usually 5.30 baru kuar.

well, MPOB stand for Malaysian Palm Oil Board, it was formerly known as Palm Oil Research Institute Malaysia (PORIM). They do a lot of stuff with palm oil-researches, production, helpings the peladang, well as you may guess i'm doing my practical under the research division of course - Biological Research Division (Advanced Biotechnology and Breeding Center) , under the Tissue Culture Unit to be exact.

i go to work with papa at 7.30 and go back home with mama at 5.30 because papa have been so busy lately slalu blk lmbt. So usually mama will always be the first one to hear everything that happened at work before i tell it again to papa the next morning on the way to the office~
:)

the laziest thing about practical is the reportttt la kan of course, aiyaaa bila ntah nak start.
