Just came back from expedition not long, problems already started arising. It was the grouping for HACCP project. There was a miscommunication but it was solved. The miscommunication was the not main problem. It appears that there are issues with one particular person. I will not mention names here. Yup. Still, I insisted on my decision. Firstly, I will try to think of others before me. Second, once I made up my mind, save your effort in changing my decision. I will not change my decision. It was rather saddening that so many people have issue with this person yet they do not speak up. We are all friends, we should communicate better with each other compared to others. If there is any issue/problem/unhappiness, we should have a nice talk with each other and not hiding feelings to themselves. Let's think about it. In a long run, that person may know and get hurt. Why? Cause that person's best friend/clique actually is not happy with him/her but they do not speak up. Worse still, they say it to others and she get to know it later. The meaning of having friends is to help one another, accepting one's flaws and strength, speaking freely when in a clique. When I first heard about it, I felt saddening. I said this a lot of times, "Please say it out if you are unhappy with anything. We are all friends. We are not mind readers, that is why we have a mouth to speak up." I always stress this to my friend. Let it be negative or positive comments, I will still take into consideration and make changes if need to. This is because we are not perfect but we can be a better person. Beside sad, I feel so helpless. Everyone is against one person but I know nothing about it but now. If only I have know it sooner, I can attempt to change their thinking. Since it reach this stage, I will take a step at a time to solve this issue. It may be hard but I believe that it can be solved.

Well, I came back from the expedition last night. Overall, the expedition was fun and at the same time, I learnt and refresh what I have learnt from the previous expedition I went. There are lots of lesson to be learnt from this expedition. New friends were made and I even found my primary school classmate.
21 June 2010
We were preparing logistic stuff and having team-bonding session. For me, I feel that the people from ADC were rather friendly. We set off in the night to our desinated checkpoint which is a mosque. The mosque's location was near to the location we were trekking. On the way there, we were in high spirit and singing away. Some were resting. For me, I was chatting away with other people.There a movie titled 'How to Train Your Dragon' being played during the trip but it was not in 3D =P
22 June 2010
We reached the mosque at 0400 hrs. We rested for another 2 hours before setting off to the foot of the mountain. I wasn't sleeping and again, I was chatting away. At 0600hrs, we woke up and prepared food. We had mashed egg with bread. For my group, we prepared breakfast and moblie lunch as we are one of the 2 groups to trek up the waterfall source. There was a lorry that picked us up from the mosque to the base of the mountain. It seems that we were supposed to go Jerankang waterfall instead of Berkelah waterfall. When we reached Jerankang waterfall, it seems that it was occupied by the Malaysia NSmen. They appears to be having training and so we travelled to Berkelah waterfall. I heard from the ADC people saying that Jerangkang waterfall is better. But it was occupied, so oh well. Leon and I were in different group but we are in the group that supposed to trek up first. On the way up, it did shower a bit but it did not last long. When we reached the camp site, we set up our parsha (I don't know if it is spelled like this). After that, we trekked up to the waterfall source. It was long but fun when on the way up. The scenary was nice especially the course of the waterfall. We saw pitcher plant and some reptiles as well. We reached the waterfall source after 3 hours or more of trekking. Most of us reached there smoothly but Sherry was not feeling well when close to the waterfall. But she recovered from dipping her feet in the cooling water. We have corns, bread as our lunch. We trekked down to prepare out dinner. We did river tracing. Leon was my partner in river tracing as I do not know how to swim. He helped me a lot. I almost drifted with the current but luckily, Shida stretched out her hand just in time. During the process of river tracing, Leon lost his glasses as well. I managed to grab her hand and get to shore safely. We had a star gazing session at night and a team bonding game as well. I regret that I actually slept during the star-gazing session. But I was really tired and I was awake for the night. I did night sentry duty as well. It was fun as I chatted with people who were on different night sentry duty.
23 June 2010
In the morning, we had a morning dip in the water and played 'Washing machine'. It was so fun especially the person that was being passed got thrown into the river. After that, we went up from our camp site to a gentle river. We played games as well. It is simple but fun. We keep splashing water at the person as he/she loses. So funny. There was a gala night! The theme was 'Flintstone'. It was rather funny but we all enjoyed it. I bumped the wrong person during the skit and the gas lamp toppled. I felt bad back there >< . Again, I did not sleep at night. I went to the sentry area and chatted. Andy was there as well. He cooked food and prepared drinks. Iksun was there as well. He also preparing food. But Iksun was there before Andy. I was eating, drinking and chatting along with Khairil and others. Andy accidentally spilled hot water on the the cliff and it flowed down, injuring Dion. But she is alright as she had double layer of pants. Around 0300 hr, I was tired and I headed back to the boy's area to sleep.
24 June 2010
We packed up our stuff and cleaned up the area.We trekked down to a calm stream for a 'short bath'. We trekked straight down after that. We reached the base and the lorry was there once again to pick us up. We went back to the mosque again to have our breakfast and wait for the bus to pick us up. Meanwhile, we changed into dry, clean clothes. I slept during the bus trip. We stopped by a shop selling local foods and I bought one box of biscuit. Queenie, Sze Sze and Leon borrowed money from me because their wallet were in the lower compartment of the bus. We joked about me being a ATM machine. That was funny. Lunch is next after the short shopping. We had burgers. I was not that hungry so I ate a burger only. Sze Sze was correcting my standing posture and Pei Shan was advising me how to correct it. After that, I asked both of them to try on Andy. His facial expression was like priceless. He was like in pain but showing a funny facial expression. Until, Young, Andy and Royston was like lining up for Pei Shan to massage or to see if there is any incorrect posture or injuries. To my surprise, she actually is sensitive. We headed straight campus to unload logistic stuff. We washed the groundsheet. I liked getting sprayed at. There were pizzas and drinks offered by ADC people as it was Melissa's birthday. Queenie, Sze Sze and I stayed back to chat about the expedition.
It is really a great expedition. If there is a chance, I would go for it again! Pictures are uploaded in facebook.

Back to post! I have just added 2 new song to my music player on the right. Pyramid by Charice and Until You Were Gone by Chipmunk. Both songs are pretty catchy. Hope you will like it.
Today was the due date of Analytical Biochemistry. I was relieved that the assignment was done with the help of other members. I think this got to be the best group I had ever work with. Full corporation, straight-forward, no hidden opinion. It's good to have this kind of group as it makes the work done much faster. A BIG THANK YOU to you guys! You guys have worked hard, Thanks! Now left, MBT and Industrial Microbiology project is left. MBT, I hope that it all turns out well. Hoping and believing...
As for Industrial Microbiology, the group can be only consist of 5. The clique is 6 which means one have to join other groups. In my mind, I'm ready to let the other 5 stay as a team while I join other group. For the past one year, it was always Joshua that joined other group which I feel that it is unfair. It is always him. So this time, I will be the one joining other group.
COMMON TEST IS COMING. So is the expedition. I'm so looking forward to the expedition but not common test =X Haha. It has been two year since I trekked Mt. Belumut which is about 1010 metre tall. Here is a URL on Mt. Belumut : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Belumut. I trekked this mountain when I was secondary 2 and as a NCC member. I still can remembered the trekking process. I'm a nature lover actually soI like this kind of activities. I am not going alone as Leon, Sherry, Fara and Queenie are going as well. There had been 2 days of bonding session. I made new friends as well. Bottom line is I'M SO EXCITED AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE EXPEDITION xD This time, we will be trekking Berkelah Waterfalls. I did a bit of research on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkelah_falls and http://www.waterfallsofmalaysia.com/Nfalls/txn19bkld.htm
Seems to be nice =)

Nice cooling weather to start off the day. Apparently, I was lazing on my bed for few minutes before I wake up. So cooling.. I was still half asleep when I was having my breakfast. Luckily, I got my coffee to keep me warm and awake.
The Molecular Biology and Technique (MBT) practical follow-up was a disappointment. It turned out that none of my classmate has their cells glowing in the dark. Still, our agar plate have sign of growth on it. For 7 weeks, we have been working on it. Taking all the precaution, still we failed >< . Oh well, just forget about it.
Stupid Analytical Biochemistry (ABC) assignment is due soon, this Friday. My group is almost done, just left with my research area and the video. The video gave quite a bit of problem but it was solved. No potential problem seems to be ahead of us. Hope that it turn out fine.
I went home by taking bus 76 and I actually overshot my stop. Well, I was sleeping on the bus. So tired this few days... Zzz
