MY INTERN MOMENTO - PART 1

It have been 3 weeks since I'm holding on this internship !

I don't want to do intern here honestly. I went around with a chip on my shoulder for the first two week (until now actually) when I greet everybody here and ask me why I'm studying in medic/health related-field but end up doing practical in agriculture ? arghh don't ask please. Be on stable mood, I know the right for curiosity is there and I have to learn to please everybody better .

I went far for my internship. I did settle with Teluk Intan Hospital for the attachment. Everything just happened as smooth as it should be. But then I be informed that our 'poor' government implement a new policy that IPTA's student need to have proper MOu for valid attachment. Worst to happen it just a new policy and my uni is stuck with the regulations and need few years to be settled. Selangor, Perak and KL among those country who strictly following the rule. I applied for another Serdang and Kajang Hospital, they accept me but I couldn't make it unless it turn as invalid attachment. Hurghh same goes with Teluk Intan. Then time left was just very little. I even asked for extension to complete the MYUM system by looking for another place. About few weeks left and most of the national institutes are already occupied while most privates take less intern student due to the budget constraint.

There is someone who should helps us but he didn't. He should fight for us at least but he didn't. He always telling us everything at very last minute. Most of the info we had from the friends from another courses while it should be him to inform. But he didn't T_T . Then nothing I could do except trying. I begin to surrender and thinking of extending semester just for internship.

Umi and classmates really force me to try harder while I almost have no strength to fight. In the midst of completing the Final Year Project, preparing for the final exams, finishing the project report then find out the another place for internship is totally make me torn.

At the very last minute, I sent up the email to two professors in UiTM and UPM. I know it nothing meet my interest, it just very little part of my minor and It totally crazy to jump into another field. Then alhamdulillah I 've been accepted into both but then I chose UPM as it more reachable from home.

Favourite view in the ladang.

So how my work would be ?

💁🏻💁🏻💁🏻 Well my intern is kind of busy not like others (no boring /termenung status). I can say that I'm actually repeating my Final Year Project 😌😌😌.But this time I'm be given only 8 weeks rather than 2 semester !

my workout on week first

I remind everybody to recognize me when I'm back in campus. I may back with six packs ! Haha.

At week first, I so blurrrr when they assign me to plant corn. I never done with gardening. All I knew was to plant bean sprouts on the wet cotton (I did in standard four dowhh) . I never touch any farming equipment. My house got mango tree but I have no help on it. So you knowlah how 'bandar' I am. XD

First week went by with further reading ( new reading actually) on pathogenicity test and stewart's wilt disease. Then I looked for suitable soil to plant corn . Then I weight, sterilized it before compact into the polybag with the help of Madihah the final year students of horticulture. Nothing could be settle without her help. I owe you sis. Really !

soil sterilizer

Ok telling you about the soil sterilizer, I need to sterilize 120 kg of soil. So with the small girl of Madihah we did angkat+tarik+sodok all the 180 kg (together with own by madihah) and it left me with back pain and ankle spraint until now. Allah know the struggles to do ruku', tahiyyat awal and I act so nenek-nenek need to move slow when I need to stand back after sit. It also put me on many uncomfortable nights to sleep and trouble to move in the toilet.

I know I had swelling joint and I'm deserve the crying. Surprisingly, I went tougher and be silent. The college has no cleaner and cat faeces are everywhere (cat also), the food , the environment, the equipment seem like not welcoming me. I didn't cry. I'm trying to do my bestlahhh :)

Ayah came help me to tarnsfer the sterilized soil to another ladang.

Alhamdulillah I did better day by day. It already 4th weeks pun kan.

Jagung pun dah start tumbuh ! Out of 40++ seeds , 31 manage to germinate ! Yang tak hidup tu pasrahkan jelah, ataupun memang aku tak bubuh pun biji benih ! Haha
