On my way to being a certified driver...

Good news! I passed my Advanced Theory Test! i know it's no big deal, but i'm still glad i passed with my limited studying. My 6 bucks didn't go to waste, and i don't have to waste time travelling down to re-take :) Thanks for everyone's encouragement and 'good-luck's'. I officially managed to start a real car last tuesday, and moved it forward and backwards. It was really quite scary at the start, esp when i first stepped on the accelerator. Seemed so fragile to me...didn't know it was so sensitive, the car jerked forward when i first stepped on it. Managed to learn how to turn right too in the circuit...hur hur. My instructor on that day was really nice (i rated him excellent hahaha), he was very friendly and patient...We talked a whole lot of topics..from family, education, career to even...my height -_-''. It was really hard to concentrate while turning the car and having to conversate at the same time. But, it was generally a nice start!

Here's some pictures of events that took place during our dec holidays :)

1. FYP (Some pictures i took during the process from beginning to end)

So..this is the lab i was stuck with for 6 months..E5-B-09this is part of my synthesis procedure....the red / purple colour represents Gold nanoparticles..the colour changes with the shape of the nanoparticle. When it gets purple, the shape shifts to be like prisms or rods.
The small little round thing are TEM copper grids. Each of this is one sample, and u can insert it into a Transmission Electron Microscope to see your nanoparticles like.....this

Cute right...these is one of the samples i produced. These are GOLD nanoparticles, and they are relaly cute, of different shapes and sizes. Looks like sweets right. But haha, this isn't considered a good sample. (but then again, do i actually have a good sample?!?!)
the final report, which i painstakingly wrote it.... :) with God's grace, and much support from matt and dear friends
