VIRTUAL MICROBES - UPM & UKM

Hi everyone.

Haven't post anything for months I guess, and I miss writing (like writing my own diary about what happened for each classes huhu)

Online Meeting

So lets start, we have an assignment called Virtual Microbes & it is a collaboration between UPM and UKM microbiology students. We have been divided into several groups for this assignment. We need to examine a case study and determine which virus contributes to that symptoms. After 2 progress reports, we need to come out with the final products which are the infographic and montage video about that particular virus. This assignment is mainly about VIRUS. Slightly different from what I have to struggle with from the first year. 

The overview of Norovirus (google)
 Thankfully, we have done all the online meetings & progress reports. The infographic is nearly done and the montage video is about halfway to go. 

Our first progress report

This entry would be my reflective journal, I will share what I feel and the struggle(s).

At first, I feel excited to do this task because I know I will be making new friends from UKM. Who doesn't like meeting new people? Huhu. And my group members are all nice and friendly! They are very cooperative and understand each other since we have different schedule. When we missed the 3rd deadline due to the tests, they don't ever hesitate to make the online meeting at 12am! Because I know some people would just, pufff! missing in action. They are so nice, glad to know them.

Dr. Wan also very helpful. She guides us about every little things even those are supposed to be done by our own. I know most people would say, "each university students should do everything by your own because you are no longer a primary/secondary student" but Dr. Wan always, like 24/7, willingly helping us. Dr. Wan even whatsapp us during midnight to keep us on track. If you are reading this Dr. Wan, thank you so much for all the guidance you have given to us, and we are very sorry if we ever troubling you during your weekends :( Thank you so much Dr!

And of course, for the nonsense rumours about third year students that I heard, I feel disappointed. I cannot understand how they could say all bad things about us. I hope it's not true.

In a nutshell, this assignment is very good and I'm able to learn many things from UKM students and we could teach them on how using the online apps. Critical thinking, effective time management, leadership and friendship are the most valuable things I learned from this assignment. Maybe I couldn't get any chance to experience all this when I stepped into working place.

Sometimes I think this assignment affect my time with my family, but, there are tons of benefits if I look from the positive side. Get rid of all negative thoughts- 

That's all for this time.

It feels weirdly nice to write again after so long. Take care of yourself and enjoy every second of your life. Cheers!
