u rock! i rock!

some how i feel like i shouldnt be talking about my happy moment on sunday cos whut if org yg dimention bace?? omg. malu tuh. well, lets hope die tak :D

anyways, i had my lab exam just now. ape lagi kalau bukan earth science babe. i love this lab cos i -obviously- love the content of it. we are studying sediment n stratigraphic. interesting.. the thing is, to prepare for this exam, i dont need to strain my head with all inputs/facts n stuff. basically i just need to understand how things are happening and that's it. u can do well. errr that was also the reason why i can talk to my friend for more than 2hrs tanpa rase "aku perlu studi". hahaa

sumhow, since ppl are soo shallow bout what geology is, so i want to write bout it. in particular, what i have to do in the lab just now just to give the big picture. hahaha. pasni sape kate geology sucks or said: "u r taking earth science farisa? that is so boring" kene la ketuk skit. kasik appreciation skit to our mother Earth

what i have to was to describe few rocks of my interest. and this time, we were given rocks from 5 environments : fluvial, delta, lagoon, coral reef and marine basin. well each rock have their distinct characteristics to show they belong to which environment. for example; if i see something like fossils in the rock...it can be coral reef envi or lagoon. i have to then analyse the fossil to determine which specific environment it belongs to. or maybe nampak kaler hitam je batu tu. sah die shale, which would mean it is from marine basin. senang kan?? takyah hafal any hard or tedious formula or ape2 equation. hehe

then once we got to know the characteristics of rocks, we place them dlm some cross section. we got 5 logs to put in the time frame. then i have to correlate each log to one another. log ni mcm keratan rentas tu laa.. satu line of keratan rentas dari sedalam mana nak to the surface. pastu dah siap correlate, i have to come out with a story as to what has happened to this place. interesting huh ?? so kene lukis2. which i love so much. lukis pon ape je. pantai, swamp, volcano etc... then dah come out with cerita tuh...siap lahh leh hanta. mudah. and to make things sound more interesting, i am looking at things that were alive millions of years ago. org lain mane ade that same chance. lol :P well unless pegi museum ke ape. so i'm predicting what was happening on Earth million of years ago..be it volcano eruption, ocean level increases, or ice age (nanti baru blaja) etc tgk fossil of organisms yg dahh berjuta tahun pupus.

i think that is cool. i dont know bout u. im just too curious as to was happening down there, bwh earth's crust. and what Earth has gone true. haha, mcm true environmentalist kan. lol :P and it was never bout the money. i never told anyone before why i wanted to be a geologist. i guess my dad nye paksaan tgk cerita national geographic dulu betul2 dah absorbed. cos i never liked when they were showing bout animals. but kalau sal earth nye stuff.. i will the one depan tv sorang, and my dad laa skali if he's around. then dipaksa pegi jungle trekking like giler ar. so i was pondering ape yg actualli berlaku di sini. so that's how the interest got into me. i think my dad was just trying to make us tough. tp care for nature punye attitude tu maybe tujuan juge laa, tp takde lahh suruh jadi geologist. haha, im tough and now that im going to be a geologist, i have to be even tougher. lol :P i guess ni satu my dad nye "paksaan" menjadi. cycling nye paksaan, boleh laa skit2. jogging nye paksaan pon jadi gak...tp mende2 lain...sorry daddy..we just dont get along.

have i drawn enough of ur attention to what i will be doing for living?? lol

no matter what we do, make sure it is out of interest kan??

baru beli national geographic mag tadi. huhu...ade ke die ckp sal malacca nye pirate...haaa kan dah ckp hari tuuhhh... korang bace tak??? tak fokus lahhh

lab tu da pernah buat last year. intersting at some part, weird pon ada. tp skang ni, lab lain dah.

hari ni ada field trip. skang lab dah kena collect data all around us
:elevation, assumption, velocity of river, invertebrate bla2.

gila tough, argghh, penat blaja. kalo strike tu jadi, ada rest sikit, tp makan byk silibus kener blaja sendri.

awal seyh korang blaja. kami last yr sgt lah general earth science. sbb nak kasi bdak2 art and faculti lain buleh amik gak as science kredit. huhu.

jgn la berstrike2...ade faedah ke
