Name: Mr Lead Block
Mass : 20 kg
Function: Block high energy radiation, gamma ray and etc.
He is small but this heavy(!!!) lead block is the thing that I have to carry back and forth during my Fizik Sinaran experiments for every week *four lead blocks are needed for each experiment (4 x 20 kg = 80 kg). Perghh, luckily in one group there are 2-3 people*
The one we have in the lab is something which looks like a brick but it is made up of lead. Even though it is super duper heavy, we still need it to protect ourselves (yeah, the radiation might be very low but prolong exposure will increase the dose and become harmful to us!)
Quoted from Kak Maira in her post:
Honor my position as an ilm-seeker (though not always by choice)
Remind me about Abu Hurairah who walked under the hot sun for miles, scouring the empty desert in order to gain ilm.
Was he also the one who sold off the last of his property for papers (for him to write his notes) and lived by eating only 1 or 2 dates per day? And tied stones to his belly to combat his hunger?
For an ilm-seeker, hardship is something that we have to face in order to get the ilm. It is fine to carry the lead block forever if that is the only way to get the ilm Tini. Hoho. In the end, what I can say is : Bersusah-susah dahulu bersenang-senang kemudian.
LEAD BLOCK = MY 'TOY'.
