Another experiment done

This is a repeat of yesterday's success. However, I have discovered that the rate of adding ozone has increased. Hmm...I hope that this will not make my experiment funny.
Anyway, it shouldn't matter because if it is on a standard curve, then the curve should coincide with each other.
Will do research to design my micro experiment whole week next week. Very busy reading research papers. Yes. Cool. Finally done something constructive.

Preparation for the New Year Celebration

Yes. It's that time of the year again. I mean Chinese New Year. Don't worry, ok? The other has already passed and you've survived the Christmas shopping. I hope everyone did.

Dad is organising the event in Hamilton this year. I hope that he can find enough people to help him. It will be on 6 February, starting around 6 to 9 or 10. The parents are going to talk everything over on Saturday.

Anyway, I think I will try to recruit some of my classmates to come and help out. Need people who can speak both English and Chinese fluently, have good people skills and socialise with others. We also need someone who can cook a lot of food at one go. We need people to buy gifts for the event, and we need to print out the names and numbers of the people who will come.

Dad has asked Mr.C to be the event organiser. She will have to call people up and organise the flow of the performances. That will be a big task but I am sure that she will do fine. She is a good organiser and has a lot of experience in this organisation already.

I will send out some invitations to my workmates, they can decide whether they want to come or not.

Better go to do my experiment now since my other supervisor is wanting repeatable results.

See ya.

Experimental breakthrough

Hahahahahahahaha
I have done it! I have done both the Indigo and ORP methods now. Yeah! YA! Cool. If I can repeat it tomorrow then I will be even happier. So excited. Cool.
The concentration used was 0.019mM of Indigo reagent and various ozone concentrations. I have done it. I think I can publish those results in my thesis. Great.
I can go to gym happily now.

Sex and the Second City: Intro: Do you have the sex?

Sex in Chicago. Interesting read. Wanna find out about sex in notebook style? Check this out.

Busy week, busy day

I was very busy yesterday. Carried out the 0.1mM Indigo experiment. Didn't work. Good thing is that it only took 8 minutes to run and I've got a decent graph so I can show that it didn't work. Cool. Will have to try using 0.01mM today because the Indigo got bleached. Anyway, I may end up using 1.25mM Indigo in the end. How absurd! I already knew that it is the best concentration. >_<
After talking to supervisor, went home with dad. Such a weird day. Dad's car was broken, and he went to Toyota mechanics. They said that the car has a light that will be on if the car has run 5000km. It will turn itself on every 5000km! So stupid. Made dad annoyed and thought car was broken, but it's not. Good. So didn't do any repair this time.
Dad called Mr.Y and told him to pick plum in Mr.L's house.
On the way to Water World, I told a joke to my friends.
"My favourite song with Linkin Park is "NUMB"."
"Really? Yeah..."
"I like Maroon 5."
"That's my favourite song." (Listening to the radio, which is playig Maroon 5's song in the car)
"I found a site that has Linkin Park in pencil."
"What? What? Did you say Linkin Park pencil? What's that?"
"Yeah...what's Linkin Park pencil? Is it a special pencil that has Linkin Park written on it?"
"No, it's a site that has drawings in pencil of Linkin Park. Anyway, if Linkin Park has a pencil, what kind of pencil would it be?"
"I don't know."
"It would be "NUMB", of course."
"Hahahahahahahaha."
Cool conversation. I didn't talk to the wall.

NZSAP paper

I am finishing my ozone concentration calcuation today. Hopefully I will be able to present this to my supervisor, both at work and in university. She is writing for the NZSAP journal.

Interesting. I will carry out more experiments in the afternoon, but now I must sort out my data. This task is tedious and slow. I hope that I had set out the experiment more clearly. However, what's done is done, I should carry on doing what I am doing and make improvements later.

The weather is extremely good today. Oh, when we were having holiday, it rained and poured nearly every day. Once we come back, the weather becomes better. Weird, stupid weather!

Fuzzyslowmo is finishing up her postal sorting work. She is sorting out the NZQA mail this year. Good on her and hope everyone get their exam papers back on time! Good luck with your study, freshmen. See you in university. They look so lost when they first came, and look at the second years, they have learned so much that they know where the classrooms are. ^_^ I met some obscure guy trying to ask for direction the other day.

Summer school has started yesterday. Met Purple Skirt in university to have lunch with her and talk about the expensive Quidam tickets. Transfer money out of own account. Mum's account is empty because of fuzzyslowmo's tuition fee has been taken away by the evil university. They don't care it's Christmas and just suck you dry. I hope I will never be as evil and bad as that. Have mercy on the poor students and their families!

May post something later but will have to get back to boring calculations on Excel now.

The rest of the day

Went to the gym and meet diamond storm. I think it was a great idea that we don't talk on MSN cuz was fighting! Ah! So stupid.

She said that she knows how to play badminton. Found out that Quidam is too expensive so not going to watch it. Just as well. Can do more sports and other stuff around here.

Read The Importance of Living and start working in New Year 2005

To live is to learn. I believe that if you want to live happily, then you can not live without books. You can not live without food and water, and perhaps lipsticks and powder, but without books you will certainly look very ugly. You will not know how to behave politely. You will not know what is happening around you so you will not act accordingly.

2005 has begun with the walking around the lake, and my working days has begun with the empty Indigo solution bottles and things to do up in university. Well, at least I found out that I have so many things to do in university that I had considered going there this morning, but I talked with my supervisor at work. Found out my workmate will not be back until the end of January so it will be virtually impossible to do any bug work until then, which is the 24th of January. Great.

Anyway, I have too many other things to do before then I should be up to my ears with work.

Read Dr. Lin Yutang's The importance of Living. Such a nice book, I have been considering buying it. Great work. I love it!

Better get going now otherwise will not get to university on time.
