These 3 days

I will start from today. This morning I was in university trying to do experiment on my ozone generator machine again. Can you imagine that I had to take the ozone generator, the computer, my bag, and the redox meter back down from 2nd floor, C.2.03 lab? It took me two trips in the morning. So tired in the morning, especially after the Labour weekend.
Sweating now. Ah... it's not that bad. Stop complaining, but I can't help it.


However, my university supervisor told me off. He said if the ozone generator is not working, then stop wasting time here (!) Oh, alright. I then take the heavy thing down with me to work, which is at another site in Dexcel. This place is about 10 minutes drive from university if you do 100 km/hr.

I don't think my experimental set-up was very good because after today's grilling, heated discussion with my boss, I figure that it needs quite a lot of improvement to get to Masters level.

There are simply not enough information from my expereiment. The data needs to be better managed. For example, I should have listed what each data strip was, A or B, etc. I should have also listed redox readings, time in the day, and time after starting ozone generator and planned how many repeated reading I should have taken for each set of ozone sample. I should have been tidier on writing down my raw data so it can be refered to later. Jane, my supervisor suggested that in future experiment I should write all my raw data and scribble on a scribble notebook. And put the good data in another notebook. Great idea! Why haven't I thought about that?

The rain is pouring down in the afternoon, so I drive quickly to get from A to B, from Dexcel to Waikato University. I spent about 2 hours trying to track down a 1974 paper for shrinking bottle, also regarding using Indigo reagent to measure the amount of ozone present in my solution. Whew... so tired after running up and down the stairs and walking in the rain is not very good for me. I don't feel too well.


Haha... I am trying to organise a Halloween Party as well. However, people are reluctant to dress up. Why? Have some fun, people. Oh, alright. I have to concede to let them dress semi-formally. I am so soft to them.

It's Diamond_storm (Faz)'s 23rd birthday today. Happy Birthday to her! Hope she is happy. ^_^

Labour day yesterday, however, didn't feel very well because Faz's experiment did not work. Her gel did not form at all. I think she is stressed about that. We had to go to city to get nice coffee to console our broken heart. So tired! So hard to make gel. Why? Why can't her supervisor just let her use the easier type of casting gel method, huh? That just doesn't make any sense.

My younger sister had her first exam before summer, which was Physics. It went well, I suppose. She is studying for the next one, which is Biology. I wish they all go well, so she can pass them all and enjoy the summer. Of course, finding a job will be great, too.

I will send dad's CV to Dexcel tomorrow so he can find a job, too. He was telling me that he will "Bring home the Bread" in the future. Haha...it should have been "Bring home the Bacon", right?

I don't know. Met my cuz. She is so cool. I like her a lot. However, she is busy in meeting at the moment. Hope the tropical cyclone in Taiwan did not wreck too much damage. However, it's inevitable that it will cause some damage to building. Hopefully the weather will be calmer now.

How's people who are doing Ramadan now? Hope you guys are ok. Please don't fall down from starvation. Peace, eat something in the evening please.
