Goodbye 2007

Haha.. going to make it compulsory to say goodbye to each year that passes by. Memorable Moments of 2007 January : My 21st Birthday!!! Enough said right... Had a party at home. Yay! February : Did not go round to visiting my relatives this year, especially my dad's side as we had to come back to Subang. (Dad had to do something). So, obviously, our ang pau income also dropped drastically. March : Hmm... nothing memorable here enough for me to remember... April : Had my exams? Nothing exciting going on obviously... May : Went to Pulau Redang with Uni friends! Had fun snorkelling and stuff. Got sunburned. (Duh) June : Donated blood for the first time. Still am proud of it. Yay!! (Mind you, I am very scared of needles, so it is a big thing for me. Will I do it again? Uh...). Went to Kuantan with another group of Uni friends, supposedly to see turtles.. But the turtles didn't want to see us. :( July : Classes? The adrenaline rush of running from hall to hall? Library to Cant

Durians

Aahhh!! Stupid house printer had to choose this perfect timing in ruining my project report!! I have no idea what's wrong with it. It still has ink but when I print more than one page at one go, the ink disappears! So, I now have to go through a gruelling time-waiting game with it. Five minutes of wait, print one bloody "beaver's dam" page. Grr... Eight pages to go. Help. Okay, the paragraph above was not originally part of my blog today. But I just had to let it out. What I want to say about today are my food likes and dislikes. Haha. It just came to me. I have funny food tastes for a Malaysian. Know why? I dislike eating durians . I like the smell, yes, but I seriously do not like partaking in the ritual of tantalising my bud with its aromatic creamy flesh. Sorry. Once, my family decided to have durians for lunch ! (They are all durian lovers). I was like "What?!" Yuck!! Not surprisingly I threw a tantrum... Was in my teenaged years I think. I don't c

My Experiment/ Project

Yay! Today was my last day of industrial training. Had loads of fun. Here are some pictures of what I was doing. But it's not really good or descriptive of what I actually and really did. At least you get the rough picture. Pun intended. By the way, outside the lab, is a sign saying, "No photography". But then, who gives a "beaver's dam". This is the column with which I started my column chromatography using silica gel 60. A closer look... I didn't do it so well.. thus the colour is not even. When it's well done, the colour will be even and you can see even coloured bands appearing too. A fraction collector. You just leave it be and it collects your fractions for you. Another fraction collector. You must put in the weight which you want it to collect though. Then it won't overspill. Test tubes containing my fractions. See the colour change? Cool huh? Hehe. Top view. Another collection of fractions. Colour is becoming darker. Look from right to le
