Gosh the lab work for this semester has started.It's already been about two weeks and this week was

the most exhausting and tiring lab work.We had to do some experiments at the highway laboratory.To our horror...my god! this time we had to do merely about five experiments.All those experiments looks so simple but in actual they were so so so tough.Just imagine we had to do a compaction of the soil about 62 blows using a 4.5kg rammer in 5 layer.

      That was too heavy as a first experiment of the day.It was the CBR test.Basically our group this time got 2 girls and 2 boys.Me and my frend Azman had to do all the compaction since the girls were incapable of doing that.At first they tried to do but...they got tired even before the level i expected.All the while me and Azman was sweating doing the compaction.After these test we had to collect the data from the data logger machine.Now, here comes the next tests.The whole team really can't imagine of it as it was already 3.30pm after the first experiment.Now we had 4 more to go and normally we would finish all the tests by 3.30pm and start to pack.With a cool mood we did the rest of the experiments.Now after the tiring compaction thing....now we had to deal with asphalt concretes.Some in molten state and some was in semisolid state.We had to dip our hands barely onto the greasy asphalt and do the tests.

      The most damn and sucking part was the data we obtained after the experiments.Each data didn't comply the standard specs and we were like in " oh my god , aah no need to go backla today " state. We regret on this thing because we had followed the procedures correctly and the data's obtained was like shit.We asked the techinician as a backup and he asked us to us mention about our irregular data in discussion in a ' sampoi ' manner.We were kind a bit relieved and finally had to do the flash and fire point test on the bitumen.Damn!!! this test was another damn thing.....it neither wanna ignite nor flash even though the standard temperature rating was achieved.In another side the time was almost 6pm and the technician was rushing back.Finally the technician also was kind ' haiyya susahla benda ini ' and he did some so called alterations to make the result come.Here we are at last the lab work of the day was done!!!...
