Behold, the Flying Panadol

Okay. Remember the last time i talked about my lab session, making poisonous tablets and all. Today the saga continued and it really is quite interesting after all. We got to play with some very cool chemicals, and i mean really very cool. Like -196 degree celsius, because it's liquid nitrogen. First, we have to immerse our panadol in that -196 degree celsius liquid and when we measure the resistivity, it turns out to be 0. Which means it has NO resistance whatsoever.

THEN, we played with something more interesting. we put a magnet on top of the tablet and chill the tablet down to very cool temperatures before releasing it and walaa.



The magnet floats.


Below is the improved tablet with coating on and immersed in the cool solution, which may burn ur skin if u're not careful.


Thing is, if u put 2 normal magnets repelling each other, they might end up flying like that. But for this panadol over here, if u try to pull the tablet on top away, the bottom one will be lifted off the pit! Just a got a little excited coz first time seeing marh. very suaku can.

Alrite. Suddenly our experiment became very happening.

Bourne Ultimatum

After 2 of the movies came out, i finally decided to watch the third. Watched it with a lot of bourne fans so they were all singing praises when we came out. Well, i think it's a notch higher than die hard 4.0, because it is MORE realistic. And it's simply thrilling, the way that the story unfolds. So i'd say this is one of the better films i've seen, and i shall give it a 8.5/10

Another Farewell

This time it's to someone who's going overseas to UK to study acoustics. Actually i dont think he'd read this blog but oh well, went down to old brown shoes yesterday to support his last gig around town. Ironically, it's also the first time i've seen him play live.

So long and study hard, my blues hero!

that sounded damn gay but yar, he really is my guitar hero. Gawd me and yk were staring with our jaws dropped at one small corner in the pub. HAHA.

Auditions

When i stepped into the Rockers room 1 year ago, i didnt know it would be the most nerve wrecking experience i'd ever had. there were about 15 plus ppl inside the little room, and you're suppose to sit on this very old high chair with a mic in front of you.

'what song are you going to play today?' and you're off to show some skills. Some of them were reading magazines when u play and some of them sniggers. HA HA. you'd actually felt kinda awkward and like damn lousy coz you're exposed by yourself to play something which might not impress people.

Just came back from jazz band auditions just now. Well, it was a lot better than the Rockers one but it's hard to say from their expressions whether you'd get in or not. Arent all auditions like that. It's gonna be my turn to read magazines and sniggers next week. be warned. HAHA.

First Lab Session

was over just now. We had to mix some poisonous powder to a homogenous mixture under some hood, before pressing them into pellets and putting them into a furnace. That's all.

and it took 3 hours to do that. I thought it would just be a 1 hour thing and it would be done. Bloody 3 hours and wasted my zz-ing time. Most of the time was spent grinding those powders into the homogenous mixture.

but oh well, it was quite fun. Feels like i'm back to primary school playing with powders and pressing them into pellets. Well other than the fact that the powder is poisonous. HA HA.

Farewell

Just came back from a farewell party for a church fren. She'll be going overseas to study in the US and thus, the farewell party.

Wahhhh.. come to think of it i'd be gone next year too for a year in some foreign place. Guess i'll miss out quite some fun too. But oh well, life's like that and here's a sincere blessing for her to study hard in the US and God Bless!!

Flight Of The Conchords

2 piece bands are respectable. Especially this one. i particularly like their solo. HAHAHAHA.

When I Fall in Love


When I fall in love it will be forever

Or Ill never fall in love

In a restless world like this is

Love is ended before its begun

And too many moonlight kisses

Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun



When I give my heart it will be completely

Or Ill never give my heart

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too

Is when I fall in love with you.

Nat King Cole rox my sox.

Growing Biscuit

Sometimes, you just wish that you're doing it but many times, you hope that you're not doing it.

Statistics show that the more biscuit you grow, the less healthy you are.

And i dont have no bloody idea why i am blogging about this. Maybe because school is starting and i'm growing biscuit. What a nice timing.

zzzz

The Simpsons Movie

There's only one movie that dares to be ugly now that computer animation has taken over the entire cartoon industries. Oh, did i mention that Japanese still draws anime? Chio-ly? But anyways, Simpsons has always been ugly and i never really liked them. Maybe coz i didnt understand the implications behind and coz they dont have robots transforming from robots into cars and then into robots again. Despite receiving some good comments, i still have friends dozing off, not just one, but a few of them in the cinema when they watched this film. Maybe they were just tired. 6/10

Hi folks. Havent been updating much because i was busy and of course, because i was lazy. As usual. HAHA. anyways, orientation has been a bomb, FWOC-ers really rox and i think they have the energy level of duracell bunnies. On drugs.

That aside, there was one day with a certain senior performance so i shall post the pics here about it. Enjoy.


This is the MPSH before the performance started.


This is when KR acca came on stage as the first item. I like the background. Apparently the FWOC-ers spend a hell lot of time painting it. GOOD job!


Dance with their mesmerizing moves.


And of course. The KR rockers. Was sweating like a pig aft the performance and sadly, couldnt get any pictures coz my camera was stuck with me. HAHA. maybe get it from KR photo comm or sth in the future.

School is starting soon. Sian-ly lar.
