| He also has a modest interest in Gamelan ensemble (Music of the Nusantara) |
Residing in a government university somewhere south in Malaysia, he is currently going through the last year of undergraduate degree as Bachelor of Science in material physics. A curious (and a little naive) mind who intend to understand (or perhaps able to see) how the universe works from the dance of cosmic scale down to the interactions of subatomic particles.
The interest of science for this boy starts at a young age when he wondered how an alarm clock rings in his grandma's house and why transparent things like a glass of water able to split the afternoon sunlight into arranged wonders of colour.
While in middle school, chemistry has his attention when he saw how solutions able to change flavor and colours with a known reaction. (you bet he tasted some of them!) He never thought of anything else than chemistry during that time when he was obsessed with the magic of reagents and how all that works dazzle the senses.
He then discovered physics during pre-university and one book in particular changed his life - it suddenly explained all the things he had seen. (or might not, but the scale of the cosmos itself is mind boggling!). The universe never become the same again for this boy. Little did he know it, he fell in love with physics. (and beautiful people and life and cats and liquid water)
Now he picked up new interest in amateur experiments related to high voltages, particle detection, X-rays, lasers, optics, spectroscopy (the splitting of light - remembering what caught his eyes when he was much younger) and astronomy.
Here is where he will scribble all the snippets of science he encountered during his active life as a student of the cosmos.
