"Water Demand Management"

Liew

Me, Kak Satira n dont know her name..haha

Forum was about managing water demand...so basically lots of figures on what consumption, water resources in malaysia as well as overseas...Surprisingly, Malaysians are currently using water for their daily usage which is almost near to the usage of US...can u imagine that? How ungrateful Malaysians are...u know, the dicussion was also about the problems that we may face; the shortage of water supply in the next few years. So from now on, as consumers we have to be very careful and not to waste any more water. This to avoid a serious water shortage in 2014.

Not in a good mood...

Last nite, im not feeling well.feel so sick, not sure y, mayb due to the rain which makes my head ache...terrible headache!

And as i woke up today, im still not in a good mood mayb because of last nite. Ive training on shaker and i went home for lunch but before that, im already not in a good mood...i dont know y.but sometimes we do have times like this....adui..mood distracted..how can i do my job?

not because of raya, n now again, mood affected due to some cases couldnt mentioned here...

which makes we even mad and terribly not in a perfect mood just before raya!

OMG..what am i mumbling about...just wanna say that im not in a good mood today!

Lets talk about organ donation...

I know and realized that most malaysians dont want to donor their organ and havent sign up yet for the organ donation program..There are so many rumors/belief that we should not do so...hmm......I dont think the idea of donating your organ is bad after all because we have to put ourself in their shoes...imagine that we r one of them, who waits for years for heart, eyes, liver, kidneys, lung, skin, bone or even heart valves...it must be so tiring....waiting for something that would never be yours n yet must have strong faith or could dream that can continue on to live and do like what others did for their living...Parents and siblings must be sad too....as they still put some hope that their daughter/son/cousin/niece could get the organs or tissue needed...

Ive signed up for the organ donation program right after i finished my SPM n think im old enough to make my own decision.besides, my mother n brother supports me too...as they also signed up for the organ donation..for my sis, she has to wait till she reach 18. n my dad, no idea..haha

so guys, please think of it....THEY REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! SO SIGN UP TODAY!

Penang orders halt to rail track project

i dont get it....whats with the issue?

the floods in kedah, perlis and bangkok? scared that penang would experience the same condition if the railway project is still on? NONSENSE!

u can lie to orang kampung but not others.....its a project that would benefit a lot of people in future...come on...the project is not solely contribute to the floods...check ur drainage system, maintenance of the drainage system, is there enough drains and holes for water to flow out?

water in and water out....lets think on how to prevent it from happen instead of blaming others...

n if the project stops, what will happen to over hundreds of workers....its not just us, should consider others too..i dont know...its just my own opinion.

Thesis writing

damn it...ive been working on it since feb this year...still got lots of part that requires quite a number of amendments....writing up will just never finish....will have to draft it again n again till ur supervisor get very satisfied with it considering ur grammar and english as well..! ive read that, drafting n writing uip thesis would at least require 5 times. Im already at version 4 of corrections...wohooo! but thats only for chapter 1, not really a wohoooo! Still got 4 more chapters to go....what else to say! just go on n finish it on time k!

PCR again..

my DNA sample for reactor 1 and 2..

one of my colleague~ NIk

ME, IN FRONT OF biorad

the sample and my gel

the end product of it...finally i did it!

Todays work..

the gel compartment

learning on how to prepare the electrophoresis gel...

how to describe the process ya? its quite simple, just add here and there...

but must be careful lah off course because we need to use ethidium bromide, quite a dangerous chemical. After finish preparing the solution, then it will be poured into the compartment and leave it for about an hour..done for today....ill will be using the gel prepared for tomorrow's work! goodbye brainstorming lab, will come again tomorrow.
