The End of an Era~ (Goodbye MPOB)

After action report of 26th JUne 2009
Its a long time after my last post, being lazy and busy and the same time,
unable to think for a while...on what to write,what to convey..

This week..signals the end of an era, an era of which I shall remember always, as I called it "The 6 month of Truth". This week..we ended our long journey of being a student at Malaysian Palm Oil Board. And I would like to share many things with those who read this.

I was just, a mere student out of college to embark on a quest of learning. Not knowing what's in store for me, not to mention what's to become of me. We (the 37th Slackers) came straight from the book, and thought that we were ready for all those things we managed to learnt be4. Yet, it was a no-man's land for all of us. I dont know, it might just be me actually.

I was...pretty so-called shocked,by being so-so serious the first week..hm it wasnt all my fault. Because the personnel there treat us quite unfriendly the first month i think.. Some even got scolded because playing songs from their laptop, wooo..quite scary the person was.

I met a Mrs Jamaliah there..hmm,and she thought I was soooooo serious again,hmhmhmh.Its not good for me then I decided to be flexible a bit. And u know, first day I called her "puan" and the next it was "kak"..ehe.Then my work begun as my SV told me "Go forth, find some patents on CBS and bring them before me!!"
And so it was..I was trained in the arts of laboratory methods and enjoyed myself.Most of my time,hmm when there's no work..(oh and its hard to find some rest,ehe) Mustaqim accompany me and we started sharing stories back then.

It was busy the first 2 months, almost everyday with the smell and the sticky goo of the chocolate splattering around my lab coat.I hadnt been able to get to know the others around and spending time.(Oh and I might call it "assabiah"). Then when it turns to March we got to know each other,might be I am the loser for being the last to get to know the other comrades around. Hmmm its quite some time, and just suddenly I cannot recall when was we started spending time,but on a few occasions, I could.

Among the first was Mior, my friend from LKM (Malaysian Cocoa Board) series of solo and accompanied visits there. We started gathering and another event was hmm Mior and my birthday celebration, not forgetting Amir's Birthday at PKNS (1st time being there,though).
We made and glad we had times for that. We went through many events, many occasions,many incidents that finally made us like bonded together.As time goes on, it was a lost to the "37th Slackers" (food science of UPM) when one after one batch of once unknown friends finished their training,until there was just us (UPM) left.

We were left by the the UniKL batch,then the UKM batch,although Us and Safina extended their time with us.Then come the replacements..We were honored to meet them. We had known them for some time, and the lists were:Ammar,Ilyas,Mochen,Izanie,Kavi@Kala,Izzah,Sofia,Suriani, and the latest two, Afif and Shahrul(Long list,huh?). Day by day, and things gone slower until the day we are to end our training days. The end was quite non-dramatic, being the remnants of us made a farewell feast for the OFTEC staffs there..Amir made a good, decent slideshow there..thanks mate,appreciate that.

Hmm,so it signalled off a final end, of our good days together,of our good friendship there.
Allow me to put a few pictures here as a token of gratitude for all of us:




and farewell,may all of us be better
"Until next time~"

To Uswatun and Safina: "U NEVER LEFT US"

The last remnants of UKM,
that resided and had been with us through our practical journey.
-Us no4 dr kiri,Safina no2 dr kanan-

Salam~

Its been a while since I wrote..
Last week, a bit,really a bit dizzy and have no mood in posting any.
So..
For this week, I'll be writing for the past week.

We lost two more friends, two wonderful and unique..each one of them..
MOst of us already know, but those who affected most were the "cheese-producing" students of under Dr. Karimah,MPOB..Those two were Uswatun Hasanah and Nor Safina.This shall be a tribute to them..

I remembered, their first days with us....
When all the students were trapped in the library..I could only see them sitting with Marone and Zaki@Max..Not knowing each other, hmm..its like they are close but cannot be reached.
Not until our life in the Bakery Lab started to rock!That we made things together,we've been doing great things together,and even spend time together in several occasions, the most memorable for them would be..the celebration of their last day at the cheese pilot plant..
Where the other comrades sang and dedicate songs for these two..
How I remembered them..
hmmm~


Safina~
She was a bit shy, and probably less talked with me,
Until the lst 2 months ago I think we started to be better..and knowing
And that I started to know that she had found great joy within this practical time,
And I am glad to be a part of the joyful things around her.
Also she always misunderstood my points and have a font in saying things half way (sorry Safina)On the other hand, she had proved she was so with us that she still came, even her time has already ended and be with us at the lab..how I am so grateful..Ha~A promise to her: A bar of chocolate..(no worries, I hold onto my words)Lastly she be4 she left..she gave us a present, no its 2 presents..Two big wall hangings (wooden decorations),tq safina~
As a token of gratitude..I'd suggested they hang one at the Bakery lab,
And the other one at the cheese plant.

Uswatun~
She was, less talkative the first months I think (btulkan klau salah,hehe)
And that she rarely shared anything with us
But we still knew that, she likes colorful things and is a very creative person
And at the same time I could say I noticed,
no.. everyone noticed she's a camera's best friend with...
With unbelievable face modes and the unique "peace" symbol,
whenever a camera focused onto her..
Also, a lot of colorful decorations she left at the Bakery lab a.k.a "Students' Lair"
During the last days, really...
So many times she shed her tears..I am so~ like loosing a life-long friend..
although beberapa bulan sj kenal.

So...my last words would be "U NEVER LEFT US"
That u two are always in our memories..we'll meet again,next sem..insyaAllah~
