hooo yah... haven't blogged for a week.
been busy clearing out the study room becoz my sister in england is moving back, and will come home this wednesday... two days from now. haven seen her for the past 2 years... sure miss her.
now a bed has been ordered, but will be here tomolo, so now the almost empty room will still echo when you talk...
argh... todays pull up training wasn't too bad, but one of my corns on tye hand poped because i slipped from the steps while trying to get a good grip... and the corn tore upwards... nah...should be okay, but then i lost a sock, so now my feet has got blisters from track training.
dinner time... :)

hiya... back from science camp...
the camp was generally on a slack tone... everyone could just stroll, slack... and play cards the whole day. some excursions and lectures were pretty cheem and *ahem* a few of us fell asleep.
the nice thing about this camp was that revada food improved tremondously. full stop. and some people are still complaining about the food... hiya... too bad they didn't eat revada food during march or june camp :) And alwyn was trying to be a Vincent, by taking 2-3 servings every meal.
there was a rocketry session, one that we had to build our own rockets to launch and compete for range and accuracy. during the accuracy round, my team's (thief) rocket flew the same distance as another one, but our rocket was pumped only 55 psi, compared to their rockets which were pumped to about 65 psi. we thought we were going to win the range round for sure, but somehow the other team's rocket went further with 80psi than ours with also 80psi. bloody weird...
then there was also a chemistry session and we tried to grow copper(II)sulphate crystals. mine turned out to be powderish so i redissolve and crystalised it again, but it had black coloured impurities in it! so i figued... bloody hell... i just mixed everything there was on the bench and the cations and anions to test...and alwyn and yongsheng joined in. and ended up with a nice vegetable green colour, then blood red colour... fun. later, i did qualitative analysis and accidentally poured one test tube of sodium hydroxide onto my thigh!! it was damned itchy and soapy.... took five minutes to wipe off. later i did a test for hydrogen on the effervesence from zinc granules in HCl and burnt my finger on the test tube... ouch day. chemistry is fun but dangerous. and oh yeah, there was a funny smelling compound that the chairman told us to do qualitative analysis on. and he later revealed that it was a mixture containing a few compounds...one of which contained ammonia.
and believe it or not... i did not bathe at all on the three days i was in camp. when i reached home i had to shower twice to remove all the dirt.
and oh yes... we were having a quiz and my team, the thieves, started of with a pretty bad start of -20 in the first round when others had about 28 or 33. even the seniors said we were gone case. then we caught up very quickly in the next two rounds and thrashed them with a score of 153 - 93 - 89. thanks to a sec one guy who memorised the periodic table to a certain number. Alex ang was even more powerful; he recited the periodic table up to radon and above... by then his face was totally red, but the quiz master couldn't hear him, and he recited it again. powerful.
from this camp i have learnt that the most powerful people tend to be the corniest as well. and never underestimate corny people. and also there is no need to worry about the sec one batch. they have two very powerful people.

hello. haven't thought of what to wirte in a blog. heck... i shall just post a Christmas song parody of "the first Noel" .
To spell Santa's name is easy to do
You write "S" - "A" - "N" - "T" and other "A" too
But no "L", no "L", Santa's name has no "L"
And he won't be too pleased if you don't learn to spell
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch water from the hill
But when neither one could find it Jill started to yell:
"No well, no well, can't believe there's no well!
We walked all the way here and I'm mad can't you tell..."
Captain Ahab took his crew, his harpoon, and set sail
And he shouted to ships: Have you seen the white whale?
"No whale, no whale, no we ain't seen no whale
Saw a couple of dolphins, And a big yellow tail."
If you listen to this tune, then you probably can tell
That you heard it before it's a song you know well
Know well, know well, it's a song you know well
And we've ruined it completely so you'll say "Oh well"
Oh well, oh well, we'll just say fare thee well
Merry Christmas to you and a Joyous Noel. :)
