Negaraku,
Tanah tumpahnya jerebu,
Rakyat hidup, tersesak dan layu,
Rahmat bahgia,
Penjual topeng muka.
Raja kita,
Kena pakai juga.
Rahmat bahgia, penjual topeng muka,

Note: Haha. Creative isn't it? I didn't write it though.Somebody else did.It's been going around on sms.First heard it when Gloria and Anne sang it last night as a games forfeit.

Dr.M mobbed by UPM students
Thank God that wasn't the headline the morning after Dr. Mahathir came to UPM to give a public lecture last Friday.Anyway, this is the picture my friend James took while standing on a chair behind me in the Dewan Besar. I didn't download this from Bernama or Bloomberg. This is original.Asli.Registered Trademark,Copyrighted(to James).I'm not in the pix though.*sigh*

Les controles , c'est fin
Oui, mon devoir cette semaine est fin.Je suis tres bonne, et le "jerebu" est fin aussi. Aujourd'hui, je suis libre parce que ce matin,j'ai mon dernier epreuve, Statistique.Ensuite, je fete le anniversaire de mon amie Hani, avec un gateau fruit a " Old Flats". Maintenant, je lir le "blog" de mes autres amis avec j'ecrite dans mon blog personal.Demain, il y a le Satay party a ma eglise, FGA.
Translation:Yess! Exams are over.I am very happy, the "jerebu" is also over.Today, I'm very free because this morning, i had my last paper, statistics.After that, I celebrated my friend Hani's birthday at old flats with a fruit cake.Now, I'm reading my other friends blogs and writing in my own.Tomorrow, there's a satay party in my church FGA.
Note:No, I'm not doing it to show off.My french really isn't at all good. I must apologise to all of you who can "parle le langue francais" fluently for my misspellings(computer does not support the proper marks) and horrid grammar.Just thought I'd practice.Someone gave me the idea,because they kept their lab logbook in a foreign language for privacy.I thought since this is a personal log, I could also do that when I want to write something private down.
In other News: The recent haze has caused yours truly to suffer from severe cough, from which I'm still recovering.

The Long Day
Haha.yay Yay.It's friday.TGIF(that's Thank God it's Friday).
I started the day at 8am and it ended at 7pm.And my mind is on overdrive from the adrenaline.Anyway,here are some highlights:
8.40am-Arrived at department.Tried to enter myco lab.Door locked.
8.50am-went for Immunology class.
10.00am-tried to enter lab again,still locked.This time managed to locate lab-mate/guardian of keys Afid,got keys from her, and went in to check on my soya beans,and Caroline's yeast.
11.00am-Spanish class.
12.30pm-went home to get project file and logbook,which I forgot to bring.
1.00pm-Lunch near library.Met jin Nee and Elizebeth
1.15pm-Awwright!I get to keep keys over the weekend.So went in to lab and did sendirian berhad stuff like weighing beans,exploring fridge for reagents,opening drawers to look for chemicals,poking around rotary evaporizer,etc,etc.
1.30pm-Appointment with Dr. Khaty( Dr. Khatijah Yusoff,deputy dean and my seminar supervisor).
2.10 -Returned to lab and re-weighed beans on electronic weighing machine downstairs in MICROB LAB 1. 600g.
3.05-rushed to Dewan Besar for a public lecture by Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad.Very nice.Didn't get to shake hands though.Too many people.I got squashed by the other students mobbing him at the end.
Shall try to post pictures taken by my friend/church-mate/IK-mate James,who I ran into there,who tried to climb on my head to get shots.
5.00pm-went to bank,lined up and checked account(finally)
5.30pm-To Library to photostate journal articles from before 2000,which were not found online.While there,read newspapers also.
6.30pm-Finally came home.Met Flo while tapau-ing McD's at 8.00pm
now-watching Fantastic 4 with housemates on Computer

Hokkien Mee
That's the name of my group.The others had equally exotic names.Chee Cheong Fun,Pasembor,Karipap,Char keow tiau,Chapati, Wan tan mee,etc.etc.This was taken before we drank some funny concoction(with eggs,celery,chili,garlic,carrots) ,crawled in egg,were pelted by water bombs,put shampoo on our hair,drank and spat out soy sauce,filled a cup with our spit,and other stuff.Picture taken after we drew group logo on each other with our toes.
Note: Thanks to Audrey cruise for 'egging' us on.
Misty Devotion
My group doing morning devotion outdoors.We were among the few who did it outside in the clouds and cold.But it was fun.I dunno what Soon Yen is doing,trying to prophecy? I'm partially hidden.
TSFcamp Group Picture
A group photo of us TSFers on last day before leaving.I am in front row,somewhere in the middle,with maroon shawl.See..I wasn't lying about the numbers.
Note:A big Thank You to Lemuel of HELP college for all pictures

More, Lord!
Hello, fellow friends and netizens.
I got my Project title 2 weeks ago, and I wanna thank the Lord for answering my prayers that it be something about fungus, not genetics.(refer to previous,previous,previous post)
Testimony time:(jeng,jeng,jeng)
This year,new faculty name(used to be Fakulti sains&Pengajian alam sekitar, now Fakulti Bioteknologi& Sains Biomolekul) new policy.If before we were assigned supervisors,this time we drew out by lots.So, everyone put their hands in the envelope and took out the name of their supervisor.Very nerve wrecking.So I put hand in....and got a genial old man named Prof. Madya Dr. Mohd. Noor Abdul Wahab.Affectionally known to us students as 'Mat Noor Kulat'.Favourite words include 'Lingzhi' and 'Ganoderma extract'.Also very good at making tempeh.
So after a false start with another title,and some struggles that best friend,sister-in-Christ & prayer partner Caroline(who, by divine miracle,drew out the same supervisor) and I went through,my
title got finalised last Monday.Therefore:-
Title:Effects of Fermented Soybean Cake(Tempeh) extract on the growth of Bifidobacteria in soy sauce.
In essence,I'm doing a lot of cooking,since both tempeh and soy sauce has to be made in the lab.Pure Joy.So I spent the last few days de-hulling soya beans.For those of you wondering how this connects to fungus,both soy sauce and tempeh are basically foods fermented into being by the fungi Rhizopus sp. and Aspergillus respectively.This is a triple miracle, because I not only got my favourite subject(fungi) but it intertwines with my 2nd favourite subject Food Microbiology, and finally, I'm working with Caroline.In a class of 49, what are the chances of ur best friend getting the same supervisor as you?
This is definitely the hand of God.It's a bit too much to just be a coincidence.I don't believe in coincidences.Never will ,especially after what happened over the weekend,and this is the 2nd story.
Testimony 2:
Over last weekend I went up to Genting Highlands with the Tertiary Students Fellowship of FGAKL(church where I'm serving now).It was awesome.Not because of the games(which were fun),not the food, not the speaker,not the cool weather,not even the friends(whom I love), but because of the presence of God.Jesus Christ was there.It was so strong.I saw things I've never seen before.I saw a UPM junior of mine who was usually quite and reserved,who came from an Anglican background,who usually doesn't talk much in CG,I saw her go on her knees and weep in the presence of God.I saw divine boldness come upon her when she went up on stage,took the microphone and prophesied on the camp speaker(Christian Cortes).Yes,you read correctly.I saw people who never danced or even clap during worship start jumping.I saw numbers.In years past,TSF camp never had more than 50 people.This year we had almost 140(or more,can't remember).At the beginning of this semester,as with previous years, UPM group had 30 or less regular church-goers.In Three weeks, Three weeks!, we have grown to almost 60.And will keep on growing.And growing.And Growing.Our current one bus is not enough.Next week we go to church in 2 buses.Amen.People are getting saved in our prayer meetings.Wow.*Exhale*
So,this is what it's like to live in Revival times.
What is the key?one word:Prayer.
O Lord,MORE!MORE!MORE!
