LAST DAY of chemistry lab and CHEMISTRY BABIES SHOW here!!!

Today is the last day of semester 2 chemistry lab session, Which means that this semester is reaching to the end!!! This week is Week 10, 3 more weeks left...Hmm~but there is one week HOLIDAY in between!!! yahoo~~!! and then....the final exam!! WOW,the time pass like the blinking of eyes. Every week we rush for two lab reports (the sequel would be 'ngai min bao' - foccacia, puff or sandwich) XD, 1 tutorial assignments and one 'ocasssionally' biotech essay, and study for bio miniquiz each week, but sometimes really cant finish studying, 90% of my bio lecture notes still looked clean and nice without any scribble. It does take extra time if i wanna make additional notes...but my bio texbook is overwhelmed with underline.haha.Am i consoling myself? i am so sayang my books until i am not hardhearted enough to highlight it. The textbook would be 'chemically luminescent' as i would highlight almost the whole page...HAHAHA...so, underline is better for me.

In today's lab, we were given unknown solution to identify the what metal compound it belongs to. So, those who are very lucky get a light blue solution is exactly the cupric ion. Mine is a colourless solution- the most challenging!!! Coz silver ion, lead ion, calcium ion, barium ion, zinc ion, cadmium ion or magnesium ion are all appeared colourless in solution! I was playful as it was the last lab, then i open the cover and simply smell on the bottle. I was a bit excited and instantly told wen hao (my lab partner) " I guess it is zinc!! " I forgot how did he respond but he was thinking i am a bit 'siow' and simply guessing wihout doing any test. We bet ice-cream (it's Baskin Robbins ice-cream!!!) on the unknown compound, he guessed it is cadmium ion.
We were doing the qualitative test step by step, some possible ions were assured not present in that unknown solution. Until the last part - which is significant to determine whether it is either zinc or cadmium. 'Lubdub-lubdub-" haha...my heart was not beating la. I just bet for fun. There is always be a loser and a winner in a game. I dont really care. white precipitation was formed!!! It supposed be ZINC~ Haha...we get confirmation from Jane, so should be no error. Wen Hao, dont so sad ok? You can just belanja the Mc' Donalds ice-cream. BUT you said u want to belanja Baskin Robbins, then 38 gang can share the big 'bucket' of ice-cream...HAHAHA~ You all know why am i so sure it was zinc? I dont know..It's just intuition. And the moment that i smell on it i have a strong feeling that it should be zinc. Sometimes i like to bet with myself to see how well my intuition is...haha...anyway, i hope this would be the start of bringing me luck, as i was in damn bad luck in a fortnight ago~ THANKS LUCK..Hope you will shield me from anything bad from now on...

Lastly, as i dunno why my internet cable connection suddenly be so stable and fast...It's a miracle to me...HAHA...so i gonna grasp this chance to post my CHEMISTRY BABIES photos here...They were all taken in the Monash University, Building 3, Level 7, Chemistry Laboratory--- Chemistry 1022 lab experiments ---


NaOH

Buffer

HCl

Sue sue and sean sean- behind my chemistry babies

Ghost eyes ???

Both looks nice, pink and green~ i like it^^


OMG solution!!! lol~ It's DMG solution...haha
