ohh nooooo

FYP had been hectic these few days.

As of today, early in the morning I got a call from Aliza and sort of scolding..


*ring ring*

shl: hello?
ali: hello. shila! what time is u all coming?? u said 9.30?!! now what time already you know?? now 9.45 already! where are you??
shl: +aina what time we reach there??+ Ohh ermm.. we at woodlands already..
ali: HUH??!! WHERE??
shl: we at woodlands interchange! +almost shouting+cos she like cannot hear me. =.=
ali: WHAT TIME YOU ALL COMING?
shl: +aina what time??+ ermm. around 10.
ali: WHAT? 10.30???
shl: no.. 10!!!!
ali: oh ok.
shl: ok.

there was no bye or whatever. =.=
and at the point of time, the 903 bus just have to come rather late. or maybe I think becuase we were too anxious already larh. grrr. so scary can?!

when we reach the lab at 10am, we were so scared don’t know what to say. but luckily she didn't scold or something. and i just realize we didn't say sorry or what. brrrr.. and suddenly she stayed in the lab with us the whole time today. REALLY!

Anyway, when other facci (the guy with a very low scary voice) came in our lab, I told aina that we should be glad to have Aliza instead of other PI?? right arfa??

anyway I’m trying to be strong when facing Aliza these few days. and also the lack of manpower....+speechless+ I’m not blaming anyone but how can even ARFA always got SOMETHING on and have to go back early when he is ALWAYS late to turn up early in the morning?? Today he said he was otw when me and Aina were in the MRT. we reach the lab but he is still not there. He arrived about 1hr later larh. Pei, I think he put the eyelash extra long and super mega subtle that’s why it looks natural. that's why need 2hrs to MAKEUP. Walaowei.

ANW! Pei I heard you are not feeling well today. hope you feel better! Come back soon yo!

updates about muslin cloth

Hello people!

I've found something about Muslin Cloth!! We can order in online if we really really want it. But I think it's just a plain cloth though. I want to post the picture of it but I guess blogger is giving problems (as usual). So I guess you all have to take a look at it yourself. Simply just click the link below. That will do the trick. It will just take 1 min. I promise.

Besides that, I guess I've found the answer to Aliza's Golden question to Why we need to sun dry for like 1 pathetic week?

Basically, If there is moisture, there is tendency to grow molds? I guess so. That's why we need to dry it and really SUN DRY it for 1 week. Oh! and 1 week is because a typical ginger need at least 1 week to reach a moisture content of 7.8% to 8.8%, which is the standard percentage for drying the ginger.

There is another part about storing the Ginger too. I hope you guys take a look at it. Again, I've print screen the website to post it here but I just can't post pictures right now. (Blogger problems, again) So! do take note on part 2.2 Washing, "killing", drying and also 2.4 Storage in this website here.

Alright! I'm done here. Doo take a look at those 2 websites especially the drying part.

THANK-YOU-OH-SO-MUCH~*

Questioning and notes for you to ponder on.

1) For Antimicrobial testing, which test are we going to do???
Well diffusion and/or disk diffusion and/or dilutions method and/or embedding method?
*By the way, I have founded the name for the antimicrobial testing that we did in FYP 1. The method about dilution one. The method is call dilution plating.
So are we going to do all 4 methods or exclude some of them?
My suggestion was to include all 4 of them because the more tests we do, the more accurate the result is.

2) So we are not doing Garlic and cinnamon anymore?

3) For antimicrobial testing, are we going to test with extract of the raw material or use commercial ones?
If use extract of raw material, we need find protocols on how to extract it.
If use commercial ones, where to buy it and what kind to buy? Oil, capsules, powder, liquid, solid... ?

4) How many agar plate and broth solution do we need to make?
How many grams of LB and broth powder to make how many plates and how much broth?
How many plates do we actually need?
Link to Qn. 1.
If we were to do all 4 methods, dilution plating and embedding need a lot of plates and broths.
In this case, Saline have to be prepared too.
I am suggesting 40 plates and 1000ml of broth, will be discussing it on next meeting.

5) For TLC, we need to test what compound of interest for each plant?
We will be testing the active compounds of the plant that caused the antimicrobial effect of course. So we need go find journals about it.
After that we still need to ponder on how are we going to get the compound of interest to test with the compound of interest in the plant. Don't know what am I saying? I will tell you on next meeting. :S

6) Could you all please update what journals you had on hand?
Pei Yi - 4 journals
1. Antimicrobial Properties Of Extracts Of Allium cepa (Onions) And Zingiber officinale (Ginger) On Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi And Bacillus subtilis
2. Ginger 1
3. Ginger 2
4. Dilution plating
