#Throwback

Still remember, during my form 4 study, i already have the mind of inventing something. One day my MRSM Muar is helding like a 'Pameran Innovasi Day' something like that I can't remember the exact name. We, form 4 students have to pick a topic whether documentation base or scientific and innovation base, or many more sadly i can't remember all (short term memory loss). And we have to form a team of four or five person then come out with a topic to present during that day. We are compose of all girl in the group and choosing a topic on scientific and innovation based sebab masa tu sape yang pilih topic tu memang gempak brilliant habis lah sebab susah and have to create or invent new thing scientifically. haha. So lepas fikir fikir fikir we dont have the idea on what to invent. Biasalah girl kan mana kreatif minded sangat. Then, im going back to my hometown for the midsem break. Satu hari tu kitorg balik rumah nenek, dia nampak banyak sangat jerawat cucu dia ni, then dia suruh amik daun ketapang kat belakang rumah tepek kat muka tu biar hilang jerawat. This is like traditional method to reduce acne lah. So tiba-tiba idea datang for the invention. *ting ting (bunyi idea). Why not I choose as the topic cause i think no one ever produce the acne solution from daun ketapang. So I came out with the title 'Daun ketapang as an antiseptic' and suggest it to my group mate. Peh idea dah macam tajuk-tajuk thesis research kat U dah kan. Dorg pun macam wohooo gempak gila tak pernah tau pun benda ni so they agreed. Tapi tajuk  'Daun ketapang as an antiseptic' macam buruk je bila fikirkan balik at least tukar la nama tumbuhan tu ke nama scientific dia kan sebab tak scientific langsung but u know lah baru form 4 what to expecttt? haha. Then pum pang pum pang sampai hari presentation. We did expect to win at least for the 3rd or 4th place. But we didn't manage to get it. Because you know why?? Salah nama tumbuhan. Nama tumbuhan yang sepatutnya adalah 'Daun Gelenggang' bukan 'Daun Ketapang'. Silapnya masa sy dengar nenek sebut daun ketapang sebenarnya dia sebut daun ketepeng. ketepeng tu is like nama pasar bagi daun gelenggang lah yg dorg suka suka hati cipta kan. I misheard it as 'Daun Ketapang' yang sebenarnya daun ketapang tu wujud tapi tumbuhan lain. So we lose just for that mistake. Big mistake from the start actually. huh. Epic failed!
