Had a very very rushy feeling this morning. I should have awoken by 6 and reached the campus by 7.10am. But I woke up at 7.25am instead. Then I panic'ed. Had a simple bath then rushed to campus in a taxi. There was a traffic jam, heck lucky that I still manage to arrive in time before the competition starts to arrange everything I've been instructed to. 

After that, we took off in a bus to Carey Island for a field trip. We're going to visit a biodiesel plant owned by Sime Darby.

After the 1.30 hour ride, we arrived safely at the destination. Here is the place where we can turn palm oil, or even COOKING OIL! into fuel that could power a diesel engine. The nice guy welcomed us with a warm smile and told us we had to take off our shoes before entering the office.

We only had our Dr Padmesh accompany us today cuz Dr Marwan had to organize the CO2 Car competition back at campus. The indian lecturer, despite new to us, was still ok. He's very nice and anything also can cam siam one. 

Inside, we took some picture, had some chats before they brief us about biodiesel and also the safety inside the plant.

Biodiesel is actually an ester made from palm oil and and alchohol. It's a good fuel to replace diesel in the future. After the powerpoint presentations, we had to prepare to go to the plant like the one in the modal above. 

We had to put on safety helmets, and hard boots. The previous group used it and left some sweats in some of the equipments. Yucks! Luckily we don't have to use earplugs here. We're armed with the best defence and off we go to the plant.

As we were approaching the plant, we were instructed to turn off our cellphones to avoid taking pictures. Confidential confidential

After returning, we were back with our busy schedule. Have to finish a report and assignment, and we have a lab experiment today also!

Had a lite lunch at McD and we continued with our work. Then we paused and went to lab. Today we're experimenting on Electrical and Electronics Systems and we were taught how to design the things on our calculator :)

We were given a board and many wires and had to do some connecting with logic gates. Back to high school thing, but more complicated. 

In high school we're having AND and Or gates, but here we're using a K-Map to make everything easier. Heard that EE are lazy people and they always make thing easier for them. 

We wanted to make something different instead of 1~9. So at last we made a small letter 'o' XD

The lower part was not clear cuz we connected the wire to the negative end. Oops

Then we're back with our work and rushed everything. Finished all the work just in time for the 5.30 bus.

It's the end of the week but we have tons left to do. Next week is the last week of study. With no much time left, there's still:

1. Elec and Electronic Exam.
2. Maths and Computing Exam
3. Finish Design for Chemical Car
4. Prepare for final presentation on manufacturing of Styrene
5. Experiment long report
6. Field trip report

GOD! give me more time
