TODAY IS THE DAY!

      TODAY IS THE DAY. Today is our THANK A MICROBE exhibition. All of us are so nervous an excited at the same time. Nervous because there were judges(lecturer) who judged our project, and excited because it was our first exhibition ever! It actually went well (according to Dr Wan hehe). Am not gonna summarise  the event but here are what I learnt from this event. 

        First, expect the unexpected. To be honest, me and my group members did not expect at all that the questions  asked by the judges, would be asked. And as the result, we could answer none of the questions. My group chose Bacillus thuringiensis as our microbe for this project. And this microbe is widely used as biological pesticides. It kills harmful insects with its crystal proteins. The question was, what is the benefit of crystal proteins for the microbe itself? I seriously never thought of that. The judge said, “This Bt wont produce the crystal protein just for others’ benefit. It must benefit itself too”. Why I’d never thought of that……….

     

        Okay the second one is, if we really want to know about something, we gotta to do a lot of research about it. We cant just know about the surface, we must know externally and internally. Yup I admit, I just find things that were asked by Dr. Wan. I mean like I just find the points stated in the module. I should have did the research in a whole.

        Thirdly, okay the first question was given by Dr Wan. And my group couldn’t answer that question. Well the good thing was, after we couldn’t answer the question, we google it right away. We did that with every judges. So at the end, we gained more information, and yes, the last judge listened to the most informative presentation by us hahaha.

          Okay the last one. Don’t ever make up stories. Just say don’t know, when you don’t know. There is no point in lying. In fact, you are not going to help yourself at all. Just be honest. People understands us, I guess?

          So yes that’s all I think. Whatever it is, this was really new for me, and really make me more confident in giving presentation in English. And I hope Dr Wan satisfied with our exhibition. Thank you Dr Wan (for the food as well hehe). Here are some of the pictures at the exhibition.
