HECTIC WEEK

    This is the third weeks since we, UMTian students and Marine Biology second year start our new semester and it seem like we never stop walking around and working. Well it can be classified as walking actually. The whole three weeks is really hectic actually.
    Well, for the whole three weeks, we mostly in the lab for almost everyday, analysis our sample that taken from Bidong Island months ago. Searching for zooplankton, phytoplankton, counting them one by one for each instrument we used. For an instance we used three instrument we used to collect those sample then we need to repeat the same routine over and over again. Sometime we just feel that we are eating plankton for our lunch. *sigh*. But somehow, we can consider it as a work for a student that soon to graduate. It somehow teach how we should do our work in the future. Now its hard but tomorrow it will be easy as we practiced it day by day. So, strongly we keep our faces up, no longer eyes on the ground. More sweet is we did it with smile, we have member all around. We all doing the same thing, not alone. Thats an important thing.
    Due to tiredness all day, when we just come home and landed on the bed, we can fall asleep just like that. Tiredness teach us how to appreaciate a little time to rest. Even for a minute, time we got to rest is so valuable. Thanks to that, we can no longer wasting our time. Well, sometimes because when stress is controlling the mind, it need some entertaiment. So just watched some movies or drama. But it got dragged for some hours.
    Enter the second year now made us realized that time is surely flow really fast. It just feel like yesterday we become UMT student and now we even have junior to take care for. Having junior too sometimes make us serious more. Like want to show the best thing about being a Marine Biology student. Here in our faculty, we were known for one big Marine Biologist student. So now we are big brothers and big sisters. Just keep it up! We are not alone

OUTLINE

General statement

    In this 21^st century, the globalization is thriving throughout the year, as the Digital Revolution growing massively with the usage of mobile phone and Internet. Statistic was made and it proved that by the year 2010s, the majority of people developed world had internet access and majority of people worldwide had mobile phone. Since the Internet and World Wide Web was created in 1969 and 1990, its popularity are continue to rise until it was considered as a basic of living especially for students.

Thesis statement

Internet benefitted students as it support online education and also provide world wide information. 

What you can get by swimming.

Swimming is everyone favourite sport as it give many benefits as it can mainfain ones fitness and also increase muscle strength. Swimming can be rated as among the healthiest sport as it can increase human health.

An animal

       Do you know what is coral? Some of you might already knew this but let me tell you about this fact taken from International Coral Reef Iniative. 'Coral are invertebrate animals that belong to a large group of colourful and fascinating animals called Cnidaria. Coral are important to the marine life as they provide shelters to the other organisms.

      When there is coral, the term coral reef can exist, so the coral reef whole ecosystem. In the ocean, coral reef can be seen above 50 metres depth with suitable temperature and salinity. In the ocean, coral serves as a habitat to other marine life such as fishes, giant clams, sea stars, squids and also shrimp. Without coral, these marine life are endangered because they are being protected by coral. However, even coral is an animal, they cannot feed by themselves. This is how the system works. Coral provide shelters and some of organism provide foods for coral because coral is a sessile animal. Moreover, coral also can be an indicator of pollution. If ocean is polluted and the salinity is changing, coral will be bleached. This is a sign of pollution. 

     Lets have a thought on a brilliant quote by Sheherazade Goldsmith. 'Coral reefs represent some of the worlds most spectacular beauty spot, but they are also the foundation of marine life: without them many of sea's most exquisite species will not survive'.
