i have tendered my notice of two months. but i will only be able to serve a month..so, i have to pay a month's salary to the company as compensation.. it's sad, i know.. but, life goes on..i'll be positive about that.

thinking about the fact that i'm going to leave my colleagues soon, makes me feel unhappy.. it has been exactly 2 years and 10 months..and they are the people meet, people i work with, and people i talk to. leaving them behind is like putting aside something which is very very familiar to you :(

now, i'm busy finishing up my work and responsibilities.. let's not think about the 'sad things' first.

my final task is to complete the fat content extraction using rose-gottlieb method, in selected non-solid food samples. to perform rose gottlieb method i must be physically strong and fit because i have to shake each test tube vigorously for 30 seconds.. each samples will require at least 12 replicates and each tube needs 3 rounds of 30 seconds vigorous shake to ensure complete extraction. if the results that i get are not consistent, then i will have to repeat again and again until i have a nice set of data. in the end of the day, i hope to have toned arms. ;)
