Research progress seminar

Hari ni supposed kitaorg ada lab group meeting, but unfortunately it has to be cancelled due to some unexpected problems (our sv got stucked in PhD confirmation meeting because he's one of the confirmation's committee). My sv have a few more students under his supervision besides me. I'm the most senior PhD student, followed by Kate Andrews (from UK), Cemil Kurecki (from Turkey), Asad Sultan (Pakistan) and Melanie (Netherland).

Our group is known as Gut Microbiology Group. So basically kitaorg suma ni buat research on microorganisms that is present in animal's gastrointestinal tract. Anyway, today sepatutnya turn Kate untuk present dia punyer research progress. My turn dah lepas last week. Alhamdulillah, i've got lot of positive comments on my presentation with a minor correction need to be made. So berbalik kat kisah my lab mate ni si Kate, seminggu ni dia tak dtg lab psl nak siapkan her presentation. And today biler dia dtg and nak present her research progress, punyerlah stress muka dia. I asked her why you look so stress? She said that she haven't presented any seminar since she presented her honours project last 4 years and she really nervous melangkaui tahap pemikiran manusia normal. Err..camner tu? She also said to me that she have loss her appetite in this week because of this presentation. Gila lah...

I told her that u shouldn't be afraid and nervous because language is not your barrier. English is your first language, not like us. Dia pon setuju but dia ni mmg jenis darah gemuruh punyer species. My lab mate Cemil told her that she shouldn't be scared because bukannyer org lain pon dlm meeting tu, all of us you have already know and we have been working together for quite some time. But still, she feels so stressful. Ini baru present research progress depan lab mate, blom present utk PhD confirmation seminar nanti.

Hari ni aku belajar, semua benda tak jadi kalu kiter nervous and get stress with something yang tak perlu rasa stress. So..why should we feel stress? hmmm...
