Stress management ^_^
|
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience,
raised a glass of water and asked,
“How heavy is this glass of water?” Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. “If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. “In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” He continued, “And that’s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on. “As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. ” “So, before you return home (or hostel) tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it home (i don’t want, but i have to..*huhu*). You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you’re carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. “Relax; pick them up later after you’ve rested”.
P/s: I post this story coz i’ve midterm exam tomorrow. A difficult one- Basic Genetic Engineering. So, this is a reminder to me coz i’m easily get stress.. [Surah Al-Baqarah : Ayah 121]

Begins with the name of Allah..
Salam to all.. At last, i’ve succeed in making my own blog.. i’ve got encouragement when i saw others’ blog.. eventhough i don’t really know what to post in here..

Ok, so maybe i should start with..
Trip to Malaysia Genome Insitute
This happened on 25/1 which means in friday. I went to a trip with other biotech students (don’t know exactly how many of us). We departed at 5.30am (but waited from 4.30am for the bus driver..*really frustrating*) and arrived at almost 10am. At MGI which is located inside UKM Bangi, we’ve been greeted by Miss Azlin & Miss Aisyah. Then, we went to breakfast and after that had some kind of briefing. Miss Azlin showed us some of the games like Liku² DNA board game, Dolly board game & biotech board game which were used in Nationwide Biotechnology Outreach and Awareness Program for Malaysian High School (why,its so long..) to promote biotechnology to secondary students. We were really impressed with the game & felt really delighted to get the Liku² DNA board game as a door gift~
To make story short, we’ve divided ourselves to 2 groups. My group visit to Stroma blok first. There, we learnt abt protein expression & purification, then microarray->how to spot & screen the sample. Seriously, i’m pretty blur in the microarray lab. It’s like i know nothing abt it. But then, it’s understandable coz i’m not learning it in class just yet~
This is a pic that i copy & paste from MGI..~

I felt sad a lil bit coz i don’t have a camera to take pic of all that cool things. It would be much better if i got a videocam but that’s like impossible for now. *huhu* Then, she told us that the guys from other group asked her ,”can we bring one back to uia?” At this point, we really laughed (esp 2nd year students) coz we had experienced the long waiting just to centrifuge the samples (not enough equipment in UIA which is so pitiful +.+). Then, we take a look at the sequencer, DNA analyzer & some equipments which were really amazing (esp in terms of how expensive it is) 
This is another pic that i copy & paste..~

Overall, i feel satisfied with the trip. RM5 that i paid to go there really worth coz the knowledge that i learnt is so much more from what i learnt in class. But, it would be much greater if only all my batch goes there too.. (+.+)
Hm, i think i should finish here coz it’s 4 o’clock in the morning. Hard to believe that i spend too much time just to make this blog a reality. So,till then..
Untunglah org mukmin,
smakin byk masalah smakin mustajab doa.
Tiada p’jalanan tanpa kesulitan,
tapi dlm kesulitan, ada ketenangan yg memagari tanpa kita sedari
