august 2010

month : AUGUST 2010

august turned out to be my super duper hectic month. despite it being the fasting month, i was also struggling with my research work. i had a dateline to catch, plus classes to attend (not to mention the assignments) and lab to assists. 

1. research : most of the hard work (literally) was done in august. it was a full month for me, 8am-5pm. after breaking fast, pengsan depan laptop. haha.
2. classes : a bit annoying cause the lecturer keeps canceling the class at the very last minute. could have gotten work done but ended up with nothing. *sigh*
3. lab : teaching is quite fun (especially if they don't know anything and you know everything :P) first two weeks i was just assisting, but from the 3rd week onwards, i was on my own. was a bit tough at first cause i was caught off-guard, but i got the hang of it. 

fasting month brought back memories during my under graduate years. bazaar was never a miss. oblong, kek batik, murtabak. yum! here in parit buntar, it was a different variety of food all together. in the end, rambang mata jugak la nak makan apa for berbuka. hehe.(i don't have pics tho. was too busy + tired to do so)

towards the end of august, i had two visitors from up north! hihi. what a surprise! ;) they came all the way by bus! (my sister said i was lucky to have them, they traveled all the way from north by bus during fasting month! penat ok??)

our first stop was sg. petani. mission: mencari baju raya alida + tudung raya tapi mission was not a success for alida. I bagged two tudung for myself :P 

 

next stop: jusco perda for berbuka. we had thai food. sedap la jugak. alida found her baju kurung here. lawa ok! balik pon dah lewat malam. super tired from all the walking. but knowing us, even when the lights were out, we were still chit chatting away, just like old times ;) sahur was a different issue all together but i somehow predicted it. bangun minum air je. cet. buat penat je pk nak mkn ape the night before. 

day 2: we went to sunway carnival, watched a movie to kill time before sending them off. wanted to karaoke, but...... puasa lah! pfft! sent them off with a heart full of happiness and sadness. happy for the time we had together even for a short time, sad for the time spent had to end so quickly ;(

fasting month wouldn't be complete without breaking fast with friends. so before everyone left for their hometown, we gathered at this restaurant in kuala juru. seafood restaurant. simply delicious! ;)

anyways, these are basically what happened in august. 

next : september :)

well, along with this entry, i would like to wish everyone a belated

selamat hari raya + maaf zahir batin

OSHA

july came and left in a blink of an eye. i was looking forward to July for such a long time but it came and went by with me not enjoying much of it. *sigh* ok.minus the shopping *whoops* *sigh* 

it is august already.marks my 8th month here in USM. yet i have no result to proof anything. i hope i do get something this coming week. august would be a super duper hactic month for me. earlier mornings, later evenings. all of which is to catch up on those few months of waiting and not doing anything. 

yesterday we had a talk on OSHA (occupational safety and health). it really creep-ed me out, like literally. i know i've expected all these dangerous things way back when i was filling up my MSDS forms for the chemicals i was using and i did detect a few chemicals of which are super dangerous - carcinogenic *gulp* but then yesterday when we were told of all sorts of things, well that really freaked me out. imagine having my school as the most to have accidents occuring, and you'll start to wonder if it is due to the environment or the students themselves. 

last year (latest case), a girl crushed three of her right fingers while using the cold press machine. her three fingers are now (currently) a few mm short. and her nails are distorted. hello. hands and fingers are super important to girls! nak sarung cincin (during engagement or akad nikah) must have pretty pretty fingers cause people will start snapping thousands of pictures of u! 

anyways. yes. dangerous and harmful. and you may never know what would happen to you, i mean besides the short term effects, those chemicals and materials that give you long term effect, you wouldn't know till you're in your 40s or something. but i can confidently say that during the year when we played with alumina and aluminium (4th year powder metallurgy lab), the effect is really obvious now. i tend to forget things, which i hardly did last time. so annoying. pfft!! 

i'm not liking this!

i'm thinking twice. of everything now. 

the effects. is it worth it?

oh well.

just gotta be extra extra careful ey?
