Trip to NanYang Poly!
Took a bus at 2.15pm to Nan Yang with the Life Science Society members for soap making lessons.
Arrived at:
While i was riding the bus, i noticed . . .
And,
And many identical cars driven by army men. Or so it looked like.
Anyway, we've reached! Got off the bus,
And started making soaps!
Started stirring the main ingredient - melted butter - with the help of my two groupmates.
Added NaOH, and ethanol. But not without colouring and fragrance oil!
Finished!
Then went to other groups to look about. A bit nosy, i admit.
Then we waited for the 'thing' to cool solidify.
*Grumble* Oh, hehehe. Stomach's hungry ;p . Found out that there was refreshments just for us. :D So grateful~.
Curry puffs, sesame mochi? and spring rolls.
And when we went back to the lab/room,
the 'thing' became from
this
this
to this
[Mine's the furthest right-hand side]
...... Even after adding the strawberry fragrance oil, .... it still smelt like puke. Whatever. I didn't really wanted to use it as a soap. It may be poisonous, you know!
Oh, it's close to 5.15pm now. Got to go~. Said Thank you to our instructors. Then went off.
At: ~
And finally, the conclusion:
It was an enjoyable experience. The instructors were very helpful and funny, even gave prizes to those who answered his questions correctly. It was great, a reward for studying for our exams :).
And an extra,
