Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want
Day 8 (9/7/09) – Thursday
Not much research work today, but the research group cleaned up the lab. The lab is getting better and nicer. We threw away all the junks and other old stuffs.
Later in the afternoon, visited a home stay for Prof. Jahanmiri with Zura and Iman (his ex-student). The house is located in Taman Harmoni 1.
Then, had a meeting about Sustainable PG in BMD.
Day 3 (3/7/09) – Friday
It’s my third day as a student. I have read some papers (technical papers and not news papers). I was in the lab discussing and thinking how to set up my experimental rig. I’m going to use few of the parts, connections and tubings that are available in the lab. So, that means I only need few new equipments which are:
1. syringe pump (digital)
2. thermocouple
3. data logger
I can re-use:
1. furnace
2. fittings, tubings, connections etc
3. GC
Called RMC to follow up with the purchase of the syringe pump.
