Complexity meets simplicity..
yesterday marked the worst lab session of all time. the beginning of my nightmare which is also the most tragic thing that can ever happen during an experiment. was happily drying one of my products at the evaporator when the unthinkable happened... my entire round bottom flask dropped into the basin of water! argh! i doubt anyone can understand how it feels. the effort i have put in for 7 hours gone down the drain! called the TA for help, who actually scooped up whatever he could for me but.... my product is contaminated by impurities! his suggestion then was to get a new sample from the office. hello?! it's already 430 and lab is supposed to close at 6. and after what has happened, will i still be in the mood to repeat the whole procedure all over again? bleahx.. i was already close to tears okay! what more when he's going to deduct my marks for doing that though it doesnt make any difference since either that or he's penalising me for poor yield! there goes my 36% and it wasnt even half my fault. roar! in the end, the lab staff asked me to continue with whatever i managed to rescue but the amount recovered was a pathetic drop. thank God he also assured me he will give me my pure compound the next lab. phew! but it also means my marks are deducted once again! x_X i am so dreading the next lab...
i'm craving for mooncakes. black sesame mooncakes... pandan mooncakes.. yam mooncakes.. durian mooncakes.. ice cream mooncakes... yummy! i dont exactly fancy traditional ones because i have a phobia of them. thanks to my mother, who used to stuff me with loads of home-made snow-skin mooncakes that fail to make the mark. still, at least she bothered to make them so i should not complain much. though it isnt of hotel standard, the love they contain far surpass that sold commercially. ahaz
