Salam readers, writers and bloggers.

R E F R E S H

Selepas hampir setahun. Bekerja dengan tekun. Pekerja kesayangan konon.
Lupa nk update blog pun.

One habbit that I can't change...setiap kali "KEMBALI" ke blog, mesti tukar nama blog baru. Kali nie jadik  "THE WRITER" plak. Takpe lah kan, my blog, my space, and my laptop. At least bagi semangat baru nak update and share stories. Besok2 kalau bosan dengan nama blog ni, tukar lain lagi....LOL.

To my readers out there. I hope you all are doing good. Sila kembali rajin kunjungi blog nie. I noticed the CHATROOM dah "rosak". Sangat ketinggalan kan, baru nak sedar. *sigh*

A Short Update

Currently working in Genting Plantations Berhad. Based in Genting Plantations Research Centre as Research Executive (R & D) in Malacca. I will write more in the next posts.

Till then, bye2. See you soon!

Degree Practical

Bismillah.

Salam readers.

Today (16 Mei 2010) is my First Day in Second Practical (as I had go through once last year in different places). Chronology for my practical applications:-

1- apply practical for Technology Park Malaysia in Bukit Jalil, but no respons even they actually had promise to give us places. ~maybe they are busy~ (trying to give good impressions)

2- apply for Malaysian Palm Oil Berhad (MPOB) but was rejected as they had already accepted someone else earlier.

3- last strike, I deal with my lecturer for Sime Darby Plantations in Banting but sadly, I have to "let go" and pass it to my other classmates that also didn't get places yet. *sigh*

4- God knows best. I remember Plant Protection Unit in Agricultural Department Gong Pauh, and they had accepted our application! ~yeayh~

First Day Practical.

Greet with big cute smile, we quickly introduced ourself and met with Encik Zazali b Chik. He is the Head of Unit here, also acts as our Industrial Supervisor. Seriously he was really a nice person and a good presentor (as he delivered a good presentation & briefing on our assignment, work schedule and introduction to AREA WIDE CONTROL for Bactrocera Sp. (fruit flies)

My Working Schedule and Assignment

Just to share with u guys, my working schedule. :)

If I got free time, I will share facts and info on this Bactrocera Sp. Until then, thanx for your kind attention. ~bye~

Final Year Research Topics.

Bismillah.

Salam readers.

Next semester, I had to start with my final year research project. For my course, we need to run our own research (mainly on agriculture and biotechnology) and present it during the last semester, after we finished all the thesis or report journal writing. 

To choose the best one, makes me so confused. Many factors need to be considered. I had to decide on topic that i have interest in it, the one that have a bright future prospect, easy and applicable to be accomplished (as we only do final year research project for degree, not master or pHD okay), easy to be evaluated and scored, and the most important is that I myself must have a strong desire to accomplished it. :)

To make things easier, I had narrow down some scope for my future topic. I have strong interest in Entomology, or precisely pest (INSECT) on crops. I see some future on it, as according to my lecturer, Malaysia still have a lack of experts in this field. And up to date, insect had caused up to 35% loss to our agriculture and had become one of the major factor that caused big loss to the industry. I had approached some of my lecturer and discussed the topics on this field. Just to share with u guys, these are some "description" on my future topics;

a- research on the natural enemies for bagworm-ulat bungkus (Metisa Plana Walker).

i had to rare the natural enemies of this bagworm, namely as Apantalese Metisae Nixon on the laboratory. but first, i will need to identify the "effectiveness" of this natural enemies. Wether it can really be applied on field, wether it is easy to manage, and wether this natural enemies really could "destroy" the bagworm that caused a big loss in oil palm (44% loss!). if it mets all this requirement, so I will rare this natural enemy and observe it from the stage in egg, larvae, until it died.

Bagworm

b- research on pest of kenaf (Jatropha Curcas)

in Terengganu, they had started a big project on kenaf. However, our kenaf is too short and gives low yield due to the outbreak of this bug "Anomala albupilosa" and worm (I forget its name, hehe..sorry). So, my lecturer suggested me to do research on this two pests. However, it is a big topics and I can choose wether to  narrow it down to study on the population of the the pests, to study on natural enemies of this pests, or related to toxicology to observe which chemical pesticide is more effective in killing the pests, costs, and wether it gives effect on environments. 

Anomala species

c- study of citrus pests at citrus valley

I dont really discuss this topic with the lecturer yet. The topic was proposed by my respective lecturer himself, and Prof Madya Dr Hasbullah has a "big name" on this entomology field. So, if i do research under him, definitely I wil have a bonus on his name.. hehe (politics). However, I can say that if I chose this topic, I will be doing all the entomology traps and observe all the pests that attacks citrus. Which means, I will have to evaluate so many species..huhu.

Citrus

hurm, I guess thats all on the topics that comes across my mind. I hope I could chose the best one. Do pray for me keyh. :)

*sorry if it sounds complex, but I had tried my best to express everything in the simplest way.

Lawatan Ilmiah Akuakultur

Bismillah.

Kali ini, saya berhajat untuk berkongsi sedikit sebanyak pengalaman diperolehi ketika lawatan pada 4 Februari hingga 6 Februari yg lepas. Lawatan ilmiah ini adalah dari kursus "Aquaculture (AQS 4063)", di bawah seliaan pasangan bahagia Mr Shazni & Mrs Shazni (Pn Shida). Lawatan selama 3 hari dan 3 malam, dan kepada 3 tempat berbeza;

1. Pusat Penyelidikan Perikanan Air Tawar (PPPAT), Jelebu.

2. Stesen Penyelidikan Akuakultur UPM, Puchong

3. AruaMotor Sdn Bhd, Rawang

Pengenalan

Sektor akuakultur adalah antara sektor yg paling maju berkembang dan mempunyai potensi yg tinggi. Di Malaysia, sektor ini menyumbangkan kira-kira 13% daripada Malaysia's production, satu angka yg cukup besar. Bayangkn pd tahun 2004 je, total aquaculture production adalah sebanyak 202, 225 metric tonne dengan nilai sebanyak RM 1, 264.5 MILLION. Tp realitinya, kita masih jauh dengan angka impian kerajaan, di bawah Third National Agricultural Policy (NAP3) yg mensasarkan total production sebanyak lebih 600, 000 metric tonne, dibandingkan dengan angka terkini pada 2007 yg hanya 220, 953 metric tonne, dan 2009 hanya antara 300, 000 metric tonne lebih. Perbezaan TIGA tahun antara 2004 dan 2007, cumalah hanya peningkatan sebanyak 18, 000 metric tonne. Masih jauh dari sasaran.

Pusat Penyelidikan Perikanan Air Tawar (PPPAT)

Bertempat di Gelami Lemi, Jelebu Negeri Sembilan. Berkeluasan lebih 300 ekar, menempatkan Kompleks Penyelidikan, Paya Buatan, Kolam Ikan, Dewan Serbaguna, Kuarters, dan sebgainya. Tiga teras utama penubuhan pusat penyelidikan ini adalah utk berfungsi sebagai pusat penyelidikan kepada ikan darat, serta pengaplikasian bioteknologi. Spesies tumpuan utama adalah ikan tilapia merah, biru, serta temoleh. Bangunan yg sgt besar ini menempatkn makmal tisu kultur,

 (spesis Rotala Indica)                         

makmal ikan hiasan,

(ikan arowana/ kelisa, salah satu ikan hiasan  yg menawrkan hasil lumayan)

makmal genetik,

makmal limnologi, makmal pengawetan ikan, makmal kesihatan ikan, dan makmal pemakanan ikan. PPPAT turut menjalankan kajian ikan kelah di Sg Petang, Tasik Kenyir. Sg Petang ini berfungsi sebagai "bank ikan kelah" dan sebagai konservasi biodiversiti.

Stesen Penyelidikan Akuakultur, UPM

Bertempat di Puchong, dan fokus utama stesen ini adalah lebih kepada ikan kelah, Malaysian Catfsih (ikan keli), Sea Bass (siakap), Malaysia Grouper (kerapu), dan Horse Shoe Crab. Banyak kemudahan disediakan khas untuk pembelajaran dan penyelidikan;

(kajian genetik)

(ikan laga/ sekila/ Beta Spescies)

Arua Motor Sdn Bhd

(proses "harvest"/ menuai ikan keli sedang dijalankan)

(katak)

sekian, terima kasih kerana meluangkan masa. saje nk berkongsi hal ehwal lawatan. jumpa lagi di post depan.. ;)
