rushed.

Dear blog

Today was a hectic day for me, not because i did anything. But because i thought there was something but wasn’t. In the morning, i could afford to slack and reach school a bit later, like 10mins later? Dr Subra came in and we proceeded with separation on the chromatotron. By the way, a chromatotron looks something like this…

Yup. Like that. I had to dissolve my sample in a solvent first, then prepare another solvent for the run, prepare increasing polarity solvents and also the fraction round bottom flask (12 of them). Did everything and went over to the room with this machine. Seemed alright at first, till something went wrong with the separation. Guess what? The solvent that i used to dissolve my sample was wrong! Like OMG =.=” A poor separation would occur if something like that happen. Nevertheless, we continued on with the fractions. The colour of the fraction would determine any compounds present though which is yellowish in colour. After that, i was instructed to do TLC (thin layer chromatography) to check the components of the fractions collected. True enough, the separation was not that good but there was a certain degree of separation somewhat =X
After doing all those crazy stuff till 2pm (way pass my lunch time, and my stomach was growling), i finally rushed down to grab a plate of chicken rice and gobble it down my throat >.< Took the lift back up and continued the procedures, TLC remember?
Then from 3pm to 4pm, there was a SOLID talk on David, the founder of Udders ice cream. His journey was a thoughtful one, i was pondering over his lessons that he enforced. Hmmmm? It’s good to know what you aim for eh?
4pm. I chiong back to lab to finish up the stuff – transfer and combine the different fractions, washed up and left around 530pm cause i thought i had training for Smoosh. I smsed Andrew that i’ll be late, then 5mins later, he called come to say that i do not need to attend today’s training because there were overwhelming responses today =.= Like so ARGH! I rushed so many stuff and had to compromise certain procedures and ended up like that… Had nothing else to do, so i phoned back home for dinner lor. Took a slow stroll back home =)

Woots. Such a tiresome day. Oh not to mention the gig rehearsals tomorrow and actually performance on friday. Item check: print medical report. A whole long list of stuff-to-do and i’ve yet to start on anything. Dam screwed… ARGH!

I need somebody to hug. Nevermind, i’ll go sleep first. Sigh, money no enough. I’ll probably ask my parents for it again =X Till next time we meet, night night!
