Akon & Rihanna Concert at PennState











My god i just got back from the concert and still have the bass drum beating trough my head. Rihanna had the start and she really got the crowd going. unfaithful, umberella and shut up and drive were her famous songs the pennstate students screemed over. Akon came up on stage and the crowd just couldnt stop screeming. The best part was that he wore a PennState t-shirt. I never stopped jumping trough the whole concert. akon took off his t-shirt and jumped into the crowd while singing. it was massively crazy jumping around and screeming. I still cant get over the fact that I ve seen Rihanna and Akon live in concert. Man, im lucky!!!

Home Coming Parade and Raya Celebration





">







I represented the malaysian students in the parade under the international students contigent. It is said to be one of the most anticipated activity every year. Students and children gatthered along the parade path which was from east campus all the way trough downtown and ends at the west part of campus. It was truely a great experience walking with reps from countries like mexico, japan, ausralia, UK, italy, greece, and indonesia. As we gave out candies and carried our national flag high, the students cheered and screemed all the way till the end. Right after that we celebrated raya eve in a seniors house and had good malaysian style nasi goreng.

Field Trip

























This was my 3rd field trip and it was about 10 miles away from campus. It started raining badly just as we got on the bus and it stoped when we reached the area. So the site was all wet and we had a though time reaching up at the rocks we had to analyze. This week we were suppose to make a detail strategraphic column of a portion of sedimentary rocks. We were suppose to analyze beds of rocks and include information about the bed thickness, bedding plane contacts, sedimentary stuctures, fragments of fossils, color, and approximate particle size. With those information, we will be able to find out the history behind that place and what kind of environment was it under. We concluded that those rocks showed marine environment characteristics showing that thatt part of pennsylvania few million yrs ago was covered under water, either under a river or an ocean. We manage to find mud cracks and fossils embeded in the rocks. Believe it or not, we actually managed to look at some fossils of extinct marine animals. We basically had so much fun rolling around the rocks and mud.
