Lab time~

And yeah~
After waited for so long,
(it's good too cause I can enjoy my holiday XD) 
finally it's my turn to start my thesis's experiment.
I got my material yesterday from my supervisor.
He is really nice le~
He got me the dried leaves.
That means I no need to dry them for DAYS.
Perhaps just put them in oven and dry for few HOURS.

So I collected 2 plastic bags of the dried leaves from him.
The scent of the plant is really strong.
My supervisor's office is full of many bags of the plants.
That's why once you entered the corridor to his office,
you can already smell it.
And you will see his door is always opened.
He said that the plant is very expensive.
So I need to take good care of it,
though I carry it like 2 big bags of rubbish -.-
Anyway still thanks to my supervisor, Prof Nik.
^^

And today I stepped into the lab and started my lab work.
I dried the leaves in the oven once again, 
though my supervisor told me that
I can start my experiment straight away.
But I still think that the leaves are not dry enough :P

I put the leaves on the aluminium foil and sent them to oven.
Like baking a cake huh?
Yes, I'm a good baker =D

After took them out from oven,
I went to 2nd floor's Oleochemistry 3rd Year's lab to blend it.
Imagine I take my sample and going up and down.
And I need to blend it bit by bit as the blender is not that big.
Somemore need to wait for others to finish using the blender 1st.
And waiting for my 'cake' to be 'baked' isn't easy too,
as waiting is kinda torturing :(

In a conclusion,
it's kinda tiring after all the 'exercises' and 
my sample is still not enough yet.
Need to blend again tomorrow~
and soak my sample in Methanol for 24 hours.
Hope everything goes smooth ya =) 


Everyone looks so pro while doing their lab work.
I also need to act pro with my lab coat on!
Hiak hiak hiak XD
