Storage Studies + Headache

Hand and body massage urgently needed

Anyone who wishes to offer any services plz call me at number 0123456789

Fyp requires me to do storage studies and the basic thing about having to do storage studies include:

Having many samples to play around because its always better to have more than less

And guess how many samples i need to prepare?

*im not complaining but plz just give me a chance to express myself and i will shut up* =(

Look at the pic above and you will see that there are 2 types of packagings available

Its is for me to compare the suitability of the packaging as a protective layer for colorant

I have two samples (redbeet and dragonfruit)

Red beet of 1%, 2% and 3% concentration and df of 1%, 2% and 3% conc too

Redbeet colorant as standard and dragonfruit powder as my research project

Each sample is to be kept under 4 degrees, 25, and 40

Two packets for each temperature

Storage for 2 months

Total-i need to prepare 144 packets of cookies omg

and to make matters worse, the cute oven in the processing lab is so cooperative

The temperature can only go up and up and up even though the temperature is nicely set

So in order to prevent denaturation of color even before storage i need to watch it closely while trying to make the next batch to be put inside the oven

So many simultaneous things to be done at once

I am dead tired now. And to make matters worse

After working for one whole day from 9am til 5pm without going out for lunch,

I only managed to finish red beet 1% (24 packets)

So i still have rb 2%, 3%, df 1%, 2%, and 3% omg

I need another 5 days like this! Not to mention allocating time for initial analysis

Really need to listen to that uncle ivan to get the machine by hook or by crook

Fyp is so unfair..

im so sorry but i cant help but think why some people can have it so easy while some others have it so hard, doing labs days and nights *good luck*

Its not that im comparing but sometimes, really cant help but wonder

today thanks fion and dailou for helping me *appreciated* =)

Perhaps im having over exposure to the oven that even now, even after bathing nicely and thoroughly, i can still smell the oily rancid smell all over T.T

And to think that the week after next will be a new semester

I felt that this semester break has barely started, apart from the cny week

I know this blog post is a lousy one but ur fren here is really tired because she is really getting old. *to be continued*

Good night =)

Happy Birthday Yuwen =)

Havent been updating my bloggie for some time *wipes away the dust*

Taking the chance to blog while rewriting my proposal pitifully =.=

In lab on a Sunday because of the extraction of betalain

Pity the water bath shaker for having to work continuously for six hours because of me

And also sorry to biochem lab assistants for having to work on Sat Sun Mon and Tues, which are all public holidays

Its not our fault. We too, want to get a life.

But its not possible. At least, not in this few weeks

After starting my storage studies and completing all tests before hand, i guess i will be more free

Just hope that all goes according to plan =)

*Prays hard*

Celebrated my roommate's birthday on Monday the 30th

Age is a woman's secret so i wont reveal the age lol

Thankss for driving so far to Sunway Giza and trusting google map though we're not sure of the way. I guess have to thank the petronas guy too for drawing me a map? xD

Happy birthday =)

*make a wish* =)

Meal of the day:

Chicken chop and spaghetti

Dont know why, after internship, i started to like eating spaghetti

Especially with mushroom sauce and cheese yummy *hungry*

But just the mushroom sauce and never the mushroom haha

After dinner, its pic session =)

How can there be no pictures when fion is around? o.O xD

But pitifully, after dinner, my stomach becomes saturated T.T

Need to control my diet xD *new year resolution*

But seems like im always cheating myself cz my resolutions never seem to work omg

With Fion:

The four of us =)

New dress for me =)

Interesting birthday celebration though everyone's tired after lab

Happy birthday and hope you had a great night xD

Reflections Of Sem 7

This reflection post is a little late cz sem break actually started last week

But i am still here in Serdang pitifully

Felt that this sem passed incredibly fast

Lots and lots of things to be settled

With lab and meetings almost everyday and tests/quizes almost every week

Woke up super early every day at 615am on the average including weekends

Many many sleep debts to pay back but never had the time

Many many dramas to watch but never had the time

Only went back once the whole sem, that is during the raya hols

Really really envy my two housemates who seem to have all the time in the world

But living outside, i have more freedom

At least, i am not just confined to the room while doing my work

Can still walk around, and enjoy the scenery from my house

After staying here for one sem,

I think i can do a traffic analysis on the cars down the street lol

But of cz, living outside, the expenses will definitely be higher

With petrol money, house rental and all sorts of bills which seem to be never ending

But then again, i am beginning to enjoy life living here, probably getting used to it

Sometimes when i feel poor, i will be eating rm2 vegetarian rice for lunch and dinner

Well, its healthy and cost efficient. Most importantly, its near xD

____________________________________________________________________

This sem is also different in a way that, we spent much more time on outings

Perhaps, the time spent together will be lesser in the near future, so we are appreciating moments spent with one another

Half year from now, all of us will part ways entering the working world

Or perhaps Masters, which i am unsure of

I know that as humans, we need to look forward to see what the future has to offer

But sometimes, i cant help but wish that i could start my uni life all over again

Perhaps i will live it differently

But wishful thinkings never happen because what has passed, has passed

So get back to reality and do gantt chart for my fyp lol

Last wish for sem 7, pray hard that i will get through all my papers

*Close my eyes for 1 minute and pray*

God bless.

_____________________________________________________________________

On a happier note, cny is coming in just 4 days xD

Money money money to pay for the clothings which i have bought =P

Frankly, dad gave me a lot of money in Dec as my bday gift, and as expenses gift

Till sometimes, i feel so sorry because i am a spendthrift

So tonight, no outings so that the money will stay well in my pocket

At least till the first day of february

Wong Mun Yee remember money doesnt drop from the sky so appreciate *slaps myself*

*Woke up ad* continue blogging lol
