Internship


Yea, I started my internship last few days ago which is Monday. U might ask where I doing for my internship.
The answer is USM, Penang. So, currently I'm in Penang. I am in the Center of Drug Research. Obviously is dealing with DRUG--Dadah. My supervisor introduce me to her master student-Marina, who need assisstant in her research work. So, I will be helping her in her research.

The thing I did on th 1st day of my training was read journals. As I mentioned just now, the master student who will do research gave me those journals that related to her research work which is Hair analysis. It's about how the drug can be detected by analyze the hair of the drug absuers. I am so bored and I sms with my friends. I thought I am the one nothing to do on the 1st day of training. But, my friends also very boring. The only thing I can do are sms and read journals. T.T After tired of reading those thick journals, I sleep a while and nobody bother me. Then before going back Marina ask me to bring laptop or story books on the next day. She scare me bored.Oh, she is very nice.

The 2nd day almost the same as 1st day. I sat there and online for the whole day. I find some infor that related to the research on the morning then fb and msn chatting for the rest of the time. I'm like wasting time.><

On the 3rd day, which is yesterday- Wednesday, I got thing to do finally. I'm so happy cause Marina let me play around with those drug sample. I got the chance to use HPLC ( high performance liquid chromatography). At here, they have so many machine that we only learn in during lecture but never have chance to use it practically. The machine very high-tech, it can be take over by the computer to operate. What I need to do is sit in front of computer and click so icons then start to let it runs. Each run took 15 minutes just to do with the blank. So I sat there from 9.30 something until 12.30 for looking the chromatograph that drawn by computer. And the computer keep occur error, let me cant finish it on time to have my lunch. What a sad case. After lunch, Marina closed the computer and HPLC machine and told me that we no need to do it d since the machine cannot function properly. So after that I just sit in front of my laptop and play games and watch drama that I brought. Relax~

Today, some pelawat will come and visit the center. Marina said we will be doing the experiment in the afternoon. Yes~ I can online until the lunch time. Next week Marina will start her research experiment d. Method validation, hope that it will not be too tiring for me.

update soon^^
