Cookies

TOday 1st time baking cookies!! overall the session of making it was fun!!
I doing this because my sensory assignment required to corporate indigenous ingredients in the food. But.....
the taste of the cookies don't not have the indigenous ingredients therefore i need to change the way of conducting the different test.

HOw to do different test ??!!
Well... there are few methods to conduct the tests.
Example: Triangle test
You need to set up 3 digit coded samples and together with 3 samples. The samples are 2 same ingredients and another one is different ingredients. Next step is you let your test subject to taste and see whether they can find out which samples is different from the 2 same ingredients samples

Basically this the concept of doing different taste.

Will continues update what ingredients i used in the next blog!!

Open Day UniSA

Today 3 different locations of university or college are having open day including University of South Australia (UniSA), University of Adelaide (AU) and TAFE SA.
It is very convenient to visit these three locations because free shuttle bus are provided to attend open day events.
For UniSA Open Day, it is held at City West Campus. Myself and few of my friends are volunteering to help out in the open day as a general position. I given role as lecture monitor where I being allocated to work in one of the lecture theater. Basically I just need to make sure everyone line up without blocking the hallways and count the number of people attending the presentation session. As the lecture theater being filled until maximum capacity, we need to put out lecture full sign. If there are people required to attend, they will have to attend the repeating session. Furthermore, there are no repeating session for that particular session, we need to direct them to go specific division inquire about the program. Sometimes, there are people who wanted to attend the presentation which is not the place we in charge, we need to direct them to the correct locations as well.
In that lecture theater, there are four people working including myself. I get to know new people from there.Among the three people, one of them is the staff of UniSA. Meanwhile, Alice is a recent graduate and Rattha is still a student in UniSA.
After I have finish my shift, lunch is provided. My shift was from 8.30am until 12.30pm. Few of my friends get second shifts after they finish their first roles.
Overall, this is a new experience for me to help out in the open day event.

Study Period 5 2009

TOday is the first day in the month of August. New semester just begin after three weeks of holidays after final exams. Next week will be week 2 of this new semester. I still telling people which I got 1.5 year to go before i can graduate.This same respond also happened around same time as last year. Due to unsatisfactory of my results, I am required to extend my study plan until 2010.

During the results were released on 17 July, I felt very disappointing on myself because the results were very bad. At that time, I cried for the second time. I still remember that during my first semester studying in Australia last year, same thing happened as the result was released.

That day, my friends came over my house and they have given me encouragement. Thanks for the encouragement. I will overcome the problem I facing now.

Therefore, for this semester I have to do well. Since college time, I been searching suitable study skills to improve my studies. There are many different ways to study which used by different individuals. Hopefully, I managed to score in this current semester.
