My Babies

We had this joke when we were working on our samples. We called them 'our babies'. 
They were my babies: the geopolymer samples.
I kept them for more than one year to study their behavior under some circumstances. 
Need to measure their performance everyday in a year, even on the weekend. 

I remember vividly when I and hubby had to take a bus on a very shiny and hot summer weekend to measure their changes. What a sacrifice!


They were measured. Their photo were captured. Their story was published. 
Eventually, they were thrown away from their storage in the curing room. 
My babies were gone.

Pekanbaru,
