Flower Power

Just came back from chemistry tuition just now. We collected lots of flowers for an experiment to test whether the flowers can be used as an indicator to test the presence of acid of and alkali. Quite interesting actually. We actually looked like flower girls across the street who is picking flowers with a basket while singing "La la la la. Skip. La la la la. Skip. La la la la". So flower-ish. So, we jalan-jalan around the park and houses nearby to pick some flowers. After 30 minutes of picking, we went back to the house and begin with the experiment. Teacher actually got this 'mini-looking' pots and pans and kitchen utensils which are meant for 'masak-masak' whic she bought from Ikea. Kinda of cute and it can be actually use for cooking. I wonder how much is it? So we got started and we started with a type of flower, I can't remember it's name but it's a flower that we got from a house next door =). We boiled the flower and the water turned into the flower's colour. And then we poured the hydrochloric acid and alkali into the water and it actually changed into a different colour. We test this with other type of flowers for the whole lesson.

Small-looking utensils. Sooo cute!

I think it's a ginger flower.
Gotta be from a ginger plant.
