This is one of the experiment we did in Inorganic Chemistry lab, it's about isomerism in coordination complexes, where we have to prepare trans bis(1,2-diaminoethane)bis(thiocyanato)cobalt (III) thiocyanate, sounds gibberish huh?? same to me.. the best part I found in this experiment is when we took the end-product we get for IR test, when the demonstrator asked us what do we get, we just went blank. 3 hours of laboratory works, from preparation to washing up the apparatus, honestly we had no idea what we have. What I can see is some white crystals.
Took this one when me and a friend of mine heading towards London on the 1st of February for the Chinese New Year Celebration. Since technology that advance, we decided to have a go with it. Fancy a trip to Inverness from Canterbury??? Where on Earth is Inverness? Again I have no idea, and I doesn't want to know as well once we get to know about the price.
Chinese do like "8" do we? It's either we are lucky, or the restaurant had been putting "88" all over the tables, this one was taken when we are in London having Dim Sum for lunch. Fatt fatt..
Lastly, I went to labs with the Forensic Chemists people, where they are busy doing their lab while I sat around chatting with my friend, well of course I went there not just for the sake of chatting, I have lots of assignments and lab reports on my list, but one of their experiment tops my list! Luminol! After 2 failures of attempt, the 3rd attempt finally paid off with the luminences of about a minute (maybe less).

Fatt fatt..On the morning of Monday, I had to drag myself across the snowy City towards the Bus Station, it's about 8.20am at that time, Monday 8.20am!!!!!! Just to get to University for the 9am lecture. But the snow made my day.

Where's the light I'm looking for when I'm in the dark?

the thing is damn nice man..what is it for actually..the luminol thing
I actually not quite sure what the experiment for because I didn't do the experiment, it's not for Forensic Science students but for Forensic Chemist, I went there just to poking around..
The experiment is about luminescence of luminol, which it luminescence for about 15-20 seconds only. In Forensic context, it is used to detect dried blood or washed blood, it will luminescence for some time, enough time for you take photos, and won't show up that distinct like you see in C.S.I. .
