 science discovery day  Friday, March 18, 2011
Well - I haven't had this kind of fun in literally more than a year.
Today is Friday, March 18th 2011, and the Science Discovery Day in Taylor's University Lakeside Campus has just ended. It was... well... there were lots of discoveries I did make. Both in terms of knowledge and about people. Y'know.... the 'getting comfortable' side? :)
Only two other classmates (EG, KC) went, and tbh I was looking forward to it because I don't really... click that well with my class. I'm fine with EG though - I actually like his presence, whenever he notices me I guess. Popular guy :P
So I came to college at 8 and see a whole lot of blue science-nerd shirt-wearing people (I am one of them -.-). Later I find out that the participants were not only from TCSJ A-Level, but also the Sri Hartamas International Baccalaureate (IB) students. Interesting! Kinda stoned alone for a while texting Cyn and Sarah, then sat with EG in the bus.
Reached Lakeside, and hey there was breakfast waiting for us! n_____n Curry puffs, meehoon and a choice of either coffee or teh tarik (I took 2 cups of the latter). Ate like a hungry person I was. 8D Then it was to the opening speech, bla bla bla and then to the first workshop: Biosciences!
Our first activity was to make - guess what? - candy! (lol the itinerary says 'magic' candy but there was nothing particularly magical about it imo. Other from the fact that I helped make it 8D) It definitely set the mood for the day, making me all excited and adsjkdshajdashhaaaawoooo *___* most of the time lols. Heated sugar+syrup till 140 degrees celsius then added colouring. And pouring into jelly moulds was a messy, messy process, but fun as hell! Spreading our (group included EG, KC, Wilson, KC's friend and... Eng Hian was it?) hardening syrup into the mould then all over the aluminium foil. A few of us made letters - there was an L and and F accidentally made, and I immediately claimed it for my own XD (littlefuji baybeh) Got a ribbon candy too that I ate on the bus back to college.
Looooooved the first event, then the second one was boring stuff. Electrophoresis, been there done that in the earlier Chem workshop. Nothing much to talk about except we poked the agarose gel to pieces LOL.
Then at 11am, it was 'morning tea break'! But we just ate like 3 hours ago! Who cares pft. Ate a green roll and some round brown kuih (lol idk the names) and drank coffee. Mmmm.
2nd workshop: Pharmacy. The first activity was to synthesise paracetamol using some NH2-phenol. Pretty basic Chem lab stuff, the paracetamol came out in crystal, salt-like form. The lecturer was so darn serious and suffocating though. -___- Did not enjoy his presence k.
Next activity was explanations of quality control in tablets, I liked this guy in charge :D very informative stuff like how to compress a tablet, and how to test the breakdown and the dissolution of the tablets using special super-canggih machines. lols But pharmacy feels so...technical and dead and I don't really want to do it TT
1-2pm: Lunchtime! Yummy food *____* rendang chicken, briyani rice, delish curry and the sweet pickled cucumber side dish I love. Very good. Saw Sarahhhhh!!! :DDDDD Talked about life and problems and stuff. LOVED IT. :D Missed her sfm ok.
Last workshop was of medicine. The first activity was enlightening, biochemical screening of blood and urine. (plus a bonus look at a plasticized half a head and torso and leg of a German person....) Did the urine test. The results came out in receipt form LOL.
Second activity omg, the lady in charge was a total bitch and made everyone who claimed they weren't interested in medicine leave the lab. I mean, wtf is wrong with you?! I stayed just to spite her mentally. Did vital statistics, eg. measuring blood pressure. Fail though XD;
Then bus ride home. Mmm. It rained. :[ And EG left halfway. Wilson guy is interesting though. Hope I can keep the friendship.
