There u have it...!XX power is showing the power in conquering people's mind.Hahaha!!
Since the very first day i met with the members of the group, i've never thought that we can be very great to get long, to get together, to laugh  together, to play sudoku together, to gossip together and blabalabla.

We are two months old guys,thanks for being in my team,thanks for being my friend. The most valuable moment with you guys is when we play doodling during Mr Barjoyai session. Where i caught red handed in drawing suka2 hati picture. They thought that i have problem in my life but i haven't had any! I share with you some moments with XX Power.

OH! Before that...Afie!I miss u So much!Hope u do well in your future undertakings!Good Luck!Dont u ever try to forget us ok!I love u.

Eco-PALF

on Tuesday, January 4, 2011
We had a finale presentation last Tuesday. Our group presentation was about ECO-PALF!!
'eco-friendly pineapple leaf fibre'. Other groups also presented their own unique products.

Some information on ECO-PALF:



Constituents of ECO-PALF:

            α-cellulose
74.44%
            Hemicellulose
13.39%
            Lignin
7.12%
            Pectic matter
2.89%
            Aqueous extract
0.58%


Natural fibre which environmentally friendly:
        Biodegradable
       Recycling agricultural waste
       Reduce the emission of CO2
       Cheap alternative and compatible to already existing synthetic fiber
       Natural-based product- not harm to human
       Low cost (abundantly available), low density (higher specific strength and stiffness) and low energy type of fibre (low carbon released).
       Can be easily process for industrial purposes without any additional cost (raw material is highly abundant).
       Make use of the undesirable part of pineapple (leaf)à good waste management practice.
       The composites containing long fibre PALF were stronger than the short fibre composites.
       The unidirectional arrangement of the long fibers à good interfacial bonding between the PALF and polymer.
       Reduction in crystallinity of the composites àreinforcing effect of PALF enhancing mechanical strength.
       The strength of the composites was found to be higher by 5.1%.
       Eco-PALF + silk or polyester = textile fabric.
       End fabric is lightweight, easy to care and has an elegant appearance similar to linen.
       More delicate in texture than any other vegetal fibre.
       The non-structural composites are suitable to use for low cost housing, civil structures such as doors, windows, furniture, etc.

Public speaking

don't be nervous pleasee!
when you need to speak in front of people...please guys,don't be too nervous. Speaking from my experience, because of i was super nervous, i forgot what i had to say. On the day of our public speaking day..i did just ok but not that good. it was just plain ok.haha.But, Nabilah did learn from mistakes! :) 




Some tips from google:

Know your material.
Practice your speech and revise it if necessary.
If you're not familiar with your material or are uncomfortable with it, your nervousness will increase.
Relax.
Ease tension by doing exercises.

Visualize yourself giving your speech.

Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear, and assured.
When you visualize yourself as successful, you will be successful.
Realize that people want you to succeed.
They don't want you to fail.
Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative, and entertaining.
Don't apologize.
If you mention your nervousness or apologize for any problems you think you have with your speech, you may be calling the audience's attention to something they hadn't noticed. Keep silent.
Concentrate on the message -- not the medium.
Focus your attention away from your own anxieties, and outwardly toward your message and your audience.
Your nervousness will dissipate.
Turn nervousness into positive energy.
Harness your nervous energy and transform it into vitality and enthusiasm.
Gain experience.
Experience builds confidence, which is the key to effective speaking.
A Toastmasters club can provide the experience you need.
