2014/2015 USM Microbiology Course Structure.

USM just upgraded the 3 years course for pure sciences and most applied sciences to 4 years.
Hence, there will be a big change for their course structure.
Well, what i'd like to talk about is B.Sc. Biology (Microbiology) course structure.
Below are the synopsis:

So, i guess this big change made the course looks so much better. We can take elective and minor altogether at the same time.
Need 120 and above credits to graduate.
Previously most microbiology students mainly focused on viruses, bacteria and fungi.
However, in USM, they began to emphasized that microbiology students should know more about helminthes and protozoa too. Since these two creatures have a significant impacts towards our society and environments.
Well, i like this course so much.
Anyway, congratz to those juniors who are able to pursue this course, you all were very lucky to acquire such magnificient course structure, Well in fact i felt envious too :p
Finally, good day and good luck to all of you!

P/S: If anyone of you are interested to pursue this course and you have any doubts or enquiries, please do not hesitate to PM me. I am very willingly to solve your doubts. :)

Preparing...

Finally, i was able to register BZT211 and now my course registration eventually come to an end.
It's time for me to prepare what shall i bring for next semester and i need to begin my reading for next semester subjects as  the subjects are kinda heavy for next semester.
It's fun to take Biology subjects and this semester, I've registered for 6 biology subjects and 1 university subject (ethnic relationship)
It's kinda crazy to do like this, because it will be a serious burden for me to take about 2 major core subjects simultaneously!
I wish this semester i was still able to do well and last 2 semester.
It is excited to study Biology, but it is exhausted at the same time, Hehe.

Meanwhile, i was teaching my cousin biology too.
It's been long forgotten memory for me in form 4 Biology syllabus esp. those human physiology part.
I need to revise again and again to ensure i was able to explain well to him.
I wish i could be an excellent teacher :p

It's fun to acquire such experience though!

And it felt great to be as a teacher, Haha.

It's getting late now. I guess it's time for me to stop here.

Good night everyone~

To be continued...

Registered!

Finally, i've registered for the next semester subjects.

I want to register for BZT211- Invertebrate Zoology instead of BOE201- Biological Instrumentation.
But the system does not allow me to do so.
It said i haven't fulfill the prerequisite subjects, in fact i have already fulfill those subjects and pass all of them.
I have already informed School of Biological Sciences, and they told me it was the technical error, which will soon to be fixed.
Hence or otherwise, i can register the subjects manually in the office if this problem persists.
So, i'd feel like try it again when i return to USM.
I wish everything just can be fine.

Anyway, It has been a long journey to reach here.
Appreciate everyone and everything that support me from behind to achieve such wonderful moment and glory.
I've finally registered for the subjects i dreamed of!
Cheers~

New semester, new beginning. I must do better than what i did last sem.
I will perform the best of me during this semester.
To be continued...

Step into the new month - August.

Results announced. and I am quite satisfied with it.
Finally ended my 1st year degree with 1st class honour laureate.
Still, i wish i can do better next time for the 2nd year.
To maintain such honour.

Now it is August already, last month for me to stay here, at my hometown.
Going back to penang so soon.
Feeling like reluctant to go back  but excited for the next semester to proceed.
Quite biased yea? Hehe

Many people asked what have i done and what i plan to do in this semester break?
Part time job? I seek for perhaps but i have a lazy body. Lol
Tuition teacher? Yes, yes. I am doing this right now.
In fact i felt like i want to do sth much more significant and meaningful to me this semester break.
I'd feel like want to revise all the things that i learnt in 1st year and expose myself to the things that i am going to learn in 2nd year earlier.
So that my life will be easier in this coming semester.
Besides, for me, i am taking this course not only just to graduate, but i want to be knowledgeable, be the one true and qualified biologist or microbiologist perhaps.

This field suits me too much. I was glad that i could encounter it before i get regretted in my entire life.
3 more days to go to register course.
Still in dilemma whether to go into more applied field or more on theory field.
In fact, i'd prefer more on theory because i love to read.
Reading make me feel secured, make me feel like i have improved, compare with yesterday.
Anyway, applied field is more useful for future career.
Still considering. Indecisive.

Lastly, Nothing else to mention. Full stop here.
All the best then!
To be continued...

Relieved.

The provisonal result just annouced.
Fortunately, everything goes well.
I guess i was blessed. :)



Oh yeah, our major is fixed and the result also announced by today.
As expected, and blissfully. This is my major.

Well, next friday will be the real final result.
Again, i pray for the most success that i could have achieved.
All the best for everyone :)

To be contiuned...

p/s: from today onwards, i will be a junior microbiologist, how glad is that? :p

July...

It's almost middle of July now, my results are going to announce soon!
Well, i stayed at home for more than 2 weeks already.
Yet, i felt like i haven't do anything that's beneficial for my own.

Try to recall back what i have done so far,
Yes, i have been watching the drama "game of thrones".
It was extremely interesting and i love this drama series.
I have been teaching my cousin, as a tuition teacher for Biology.
Form 4 biology, kinda long time memories for me.
I have been playing games, conquered a mountain, etc. etc.

I planed to begin my 2nd year subjects study in this semester break.
Next semester is kinda heavy and tough.
Need to pay more initiative from now on.
Hopefully i can make it!

Next week, i wish i see all P!
Next next week, i wish i see all A! :p
Blissfully, I wish luck is always by my side.

Good night world!

Home!

After 1 year of pursuing my bachelor degree in USM,
Finally i have a break.
Will be home for about 2 months.

1 more month to go to check for my 2nd semester results.
I wish everything can be fine.
Afterwards i need to register my 2nd year 1st semester subjects.

I decided to apply for the subjects as below:
-Mycology
-Bacteriology
-Virology
-Entomology
-Entomology Practical
-Biological Instrumentation
-Hubungan Etnik

Seems like a bit heavy for next sem.
I look through the sources that i need to study for next semester.
I guess it is not as easy as what i've expected.
Too many things, besides too many new things.

Need to have some rest at this moment.
Used up too much energy for semester 2.
Enjoying my holiday.
Cheers!

p/s: happy holiday everybody! :)

Let it go.

Finally, i finished my last paper.
I am satisfied with what i did anyway.

I like to advise myself:
Never look back when i step forward.
Care for the future rather than care for the past.

We shall always look forward in order to improve ourselves.
Despite looking backward to reminisce about the past.
Why don't we just learn from the past and get better in the future?

Let bygones be bygones.
Gloomy, desperate, worries, tensions.
Let all the sadness flows.
Let all the happiness stays.

Cheer up and be optimistic!
Finally, my sunshine's days are going to approach again!

p/s: All the best for those who're still taking exam!

Last paper for sem 2, 1st year.

Just finished my genetics paper.
I have finished 7 papers for this semester so far, 1 more paper to go.
Afterwards, then i will be full with liberty!

Food for thought huh...
I guess i have performed quite well and i am satisfied with what i have done.
I wish everything can goes well and my cgpa can be maintained.

Second year  is coming, i am going to be a JUNIOR SENIOR.
Besides, i am going to register for microbiology subjects so soon.
Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology.
So excited to think about that.

Lastly, I hope the last paper is easier...
Keep fighting everybody!
Long sem break is coming soon!

p/s: i will be going back to kelantan during 22 June. Will be staying there about 2 months, I wish i am not to be moulded! Should look for some jobs or prepare for next sem subjects perhaps?!

Approaching the end of 1st year.

My 2nd semester final examination is going to come to an end.
2 more subjects to go. Genetics and TITAS.
Still got a lot to study, but i felt like want to relax myself, and that's why i am here. :D

It's been almost 1 year to be in USM.
Look back what have i done so far, i realized i paid a lot of initiatives.
To approach here, with petty pace.
Life's not easy and we need to overcome more and more obstacles when we grow up.
I am getting stronger and stronger as my life. Trained me so.
Regardless academic, thought, social or whatever.
I always need to ensure myself that i was improved if compared with yesterday.

Continue with my genetics study.
Struggling with 2 more subjects still.

Good day.

Back!

Great day everyone!
It's been quite a long time i never pay a visit here....
Well... now i am back to here again for a short visit...
It's mid 2nd semester now... i'd to talk about what i have been doing during 2nd semester.
Basically these are the courses that i registered for 2nd semester...

As you can see, this semester i need to face another mathematics...
CALCULUS, it drives me crazy... i thought by doing biology degree we need not face such kind of subject any longer, but who knows it ends up like this!
i just don't like maths! :(
That's why i am suffering still in this semester!

The other subjects quite okay,
Cellular Biochemistry, i love this subject as i gain quite a lot of knowledge via this subject, it linked to medical, industrial and etc. etc. a very nice subject to study!
Genetics, this one we need to be hardworking to read more, it required a wide knowledge background,  But it is very interesting too though...
The practical for biology and chemistry is the one who really make me busy this semester, every week also need to write 2 reports, the cycle keep repeating, every week doing the same thing, i was quite fed up, but i must get used with it since this is the life of scientist perhaps!
TITAS... need to recall back form 5 history and more than that of course, i dont think i like this subject much, since it is totally unrelated with my field! :(
English... this subject gave a heavy stress to me since quite a number of works need to be accomplished in short time, like individual oral presentation, job interview, listening test and writing test, it is quite stressful and we must be well prepared in order to get great mark!

and i guess i gradually can experience the feeling of being a biologist...
I do like to be a biologist and again i want to declare that i did a right choice during the course selection after my STPM!
and i also love my life here and i love my university, USM! :D
2nd semester duration is quite short as time flies...
i thought i were just begin 2nd semester who knows, now already mid sem...
i must be more hardworking after this to avoid from being left behind!

i am excited and looking forward for the coming semester, the semester that makes a a junior microbiologist! :D
Bacteriology, Virology and Mycology...
So excited! Haha...
Anyway... Got to go... Busy busy! See ya :)

P/S: For those of you who're interested about my course or USM, u can PM me via facebook or personally email me via my email address for further enquiries. I'd get back to u as fast as i could, thanks! :D

Organic Chemistry.

Just finished my KOT 121- Organic Chemistry I Exam.
Felt like i am not talented in Chemistry.
Besides, i am also not so passionate and enthusiastic to study Organic Chemistry.
So, i wish this will be the last time i took Organic Chemistry paper.
And next semester i am going to have Inorganic Chemistry paper still.

Anyway, i felt extremely passionate to study about Biology related things.
Looks like i have made a wise choice during course selection.
Each time i also felt like want to know more about Biology stuffs.
And this kind of feeling never exist towards Chemistry during my University life.

Meanwhile, I did my Organic Chemistry not so well today.
I wish at least i can acquire 3.00 and above and i will be satisfied for that.
The coming subjects will be Academic English (Ignored) and Ecology.
I was preparing to give the BEST SHOT!
Hopefully everything can goes well.
All the best everybody! :)

p/s: Let the sadness flow, let the happiness stay.
This is the signifcance of life.
Let bygones be bygones.
Never look back once you have try your best. No more disappointment left.
