The Unsung: February 2009

Another Week Begins..

Once again school was filled with things to do today, english was fun as usual, we did kinetic theory on molecules for physics and we got to see our bio experiments too. Yea the about the eggs. The first thing we noticed about them was that now they smelled a whole lot more funkier, probably because the eggs that were not immersed in salt water had produced mould and bacteria, making em stink real bad. The ones that were immersed in salt water were preserved by the salt. Here are some pictures of the results

In both pictures, the eggs on the left are non-salted, the ones on the right are. Like i said, the non-salted eggs have mould floating around them.

Here are some weird pictures of the eggs without the water. And what's inside them.

Our tutorial teacher. Teacher Kai Yuan! Awesome chap, another one that never fails to amaze.

Oh yea, funny thing was the salted eggs, they had whites that were still liquid but yet they had solid yolks. Well it's like "ham dan", only much more........"ham".

Well being the hyperactive people we are, we decided to.....have some catching exeriment with the eggs. And you can guess where that got us to...

Oh yea.....satisfaction....

That concludes the bio experiment, finally. And here's another picture of Brendan!

Anyway I came home exhausted, I was eager to turn on my laptop and start unwining. I got onto Messenger but none of my frineds seemed to be online yet, so I checked my email inbox for random's sake. And by the beard of randomness I was glad I did so! Apparantly my friend from Enix had invited me and my musical posse to go and see a concert called "Final Fantasy Distant Worlds". I never knew about it before, but apparantly it's this worldwide travelling concert series meant to commemorate the 20th anniversary of FF. This is their logo:

I'm not that big a fan of Final Fantasy, I enjoyed many installations to the series but not all, I'm more of a Kingdom Hearts diehard. Even so I do know the soundtracks from Square games are not to be underestimated, and besides, from what I've been told, this concert has clips of the video game shown during mid-song. One can never get bored of seeing Sephiroth getting eviscorated by Cloud's Omnislash. The concert's dropping by at Singapore on the 22nd and 23rd of May to play at the Esplanade Theatre, hopefully by then I'll get permission to go.

Anyway for those of you who are interested, the tickets aren't very expensive. Plus this whole thang's from Japan, quality's gotta be great. You don't have to be a FF gamer to enjoy the music that it brings. Guess I'll end this post here then, Au Revoir all, AND THANKS FOR THE INVITE MR.ROCKFORD!

It's Been An Interesting Week.

Yea...this week's been the most enjoyable week in school for me so far. We had quite a few weird experiments, and we had a debate during BM class, really awesome stuff. Anyway this post is gonna include a lot of pictures, AND WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE PICTURES!! So let's get started!

Haha, my last post showed what this small bugger could do. Just make sure you're more careful when someone offers you candy.

The next few pics are about a bio experiment we did, we had to put an egg into vinegar and see what would happen to it after 1 day. Here's the pics on the day we started the experiment.

Apparently, vinegar burns away the egg's outer shell, leaving only the semi-permeable skin guarding it. The process is disgusting though, here are the pics after 1 day of being soaked in vinegar.

I'm sure most of you would have noticed the brown floating stuff in the beaker, it ain't poop fools, no one defecates in a beaker, it's just wrong. It's the shell of the egg, somehow in a liquid-ish form now. The egg now feels like rubber, we know because we had to wash em, not a very easy job, one slip or too much pressure would give you a hand full of sour yolk, and an angry bio teacher. But none of the eggs broke, and these are some pics of how weird they looked...

The yolk was actually viewable for some of our eggs, next we had to put salt water into half of our classes' beakers, the other half were only immersed in plain water.

Here's a few pics of our whole class's eggs in the chronologic order.

We also had this weird experiment about how a ring could rotate above a person's hand, was cool...

On the same day we did a few pendulum experiments, using plasticine for the bobs, after awhile a few teams including mine finished, so we got bored. AND WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS BORED KIDS WITH PLASTICINE?!

PLASTICINE SCULPTING!Here's more things we made out of plasticine.

Plasticine sculptures created by Liyon, Tze Lik, Daniel, Daphne and Andrew. Your works of art were fantastic....TILL I SQUISHED EM!!! AHAHA!!!

We also had a new tea break craze this week, the new puddings were all the rage with them being sold out everyday. I call em drugs, coz I'm addicted to them...

The drinks are nice and cold too.

Phew, anyway that's about it, just a few more random pictures and I'll be done with this post.

Once again the almighty Mr guoy returns to this blog. We now know however that he enjoys giving math homework, a gaming-expert, an overkill expert, and an ex-classmate of the famous Michael Wong Guang Liang. Rock on Mr Guoy!

Mr Simon! Our leading expert on dance and our teacher of hip-hop, he takes the art of dancing rather seriously, a trait worth respecting indeed.

That's about it for this post, I do hope ya'll had a good visual experience. Just one more picture before I leave with the usual farewell. A rather random one, but funny nonetheless.

Tch tch tch, how english degrades in this society is shocking...until next post...Au revoir.

The Society Is Still Strong

Well yea, our blog's been dormant for awhile now. But that doesn't mean we're dormant! Here's something that happened a few days back...

Sorry for the crappy video quality, I only have a 2 Megapixel Camera with me. And yes, math can get that hard. + today I decided to bring along an old friend of mine to school, really gave the class a shock. Reminds me of the days back at SMK USJ12...

Yea, really sorry for the video quality, but at least loading's fast. Anyway thanks for watching! Au Revoir...

Another Weird Day...

Haha, yes today was filled with huge amounts of randomness and stupidity. It mostly started out with Brendan making his usual stuff up, like a symphonic band of dead squirrels playing for a smore. Yes, random isn't it? But today the fun really started when we began inventing insults, some were pretty good too, I'm gonna type a few down for you to see how dumb we can get.

1. Your mother's so fat, that when she passes the television, 4 seasons of Heroes have passed.
2. Your mother's so ugly, when she walks the dog, she's the one wearing the leash.
3. Your mother's so dumb, she sold her car for gasoline money.
4. Your mother's so fat, when she got hit by a truck, the truck driver died but she didn't.
5. You're so ugly, that when your mom gave birth to you, the doctors slapped her.
6. Your mom's so dumb, when someone said she was hot, she locked herself away in the fridge for 1 week.
7. Your mom's so fat, when she gets sucked into a black hole, she clogs it.
8. Your mom's so dumb, she throws bread to the helicopters saying "Come here little birdie!"
9. Your mom's so dumb, she squirted Thousand Island Cream all over herself because she heard it was dressing.
10. Does your mom still like nature? After what it did to her?
11. Your mom's so fat, she drowned in the Dead Sea.
12. Your mom's so fat, when she broke her leg, gravy poured out.
13. Your mom's so dumb, when she tried tap-dancing, she fell into the sink.
14. Your mom's so fat, she could hide her steering wheel in her spare tires.
15. Your mom's so fat, every road she uses must be made a one-way street.

Well that's just a few of them, kind of interesting when you look at it all. Until next post! Au Revoir..

Relating to Last Post.

This is a perfect example of how misconception and over thinking can ruin a person's life. It'll be boring for quite a bit, but from 07:45 onwards, you might wanna see how that example begins to unfold. It also states that many things said by the media can be a lie, and that thinking things through constantly, can often lead to making the best decisions in life.

A Dream....

Well yea, like the title of this post today would suggest. I had a dream last night. A dream that didn't seem pleasing and yet didn't seem haunting, so it's like something between a dream and a nightmare. But we'll get onto that later. I was online until about 12:30 this morning, once again helping one of my friends deal with her "boyfriend" problems, she felt really destroyed, her depression pouring out from the mere typed words on Windows Live Messenger. It had been a long talk, and only after about 1 hour of understanding and talking, did I manage to calm her down a bit just before heading to bed. But I couldn't sleep, I was disturbed by the idea as to why people do this to themselves, why they hurl themselves aimlessly and recklessly into relationships they feel sure about. I know that feeling, it's not about feeling sure, it's about feeling good. Much of society these days have degraded into beings that want pleasure for themselves, while being under the impression that they are helping others in the process. Over a period of time this form of pleasure spreads and evolves into different sorts of problems. People start thinking too much, they assume wrongly, they become paranoid of losing friends because in real fact, they never chose their friends properly, and then they get into a reltaionship, thinking that once you get someone who likes you, he/she will never leave you. Of course for those with proper guidance in life, things like this are merely things in life you know you can shun off your shoulder like dirt. But for those who are unsure of themselves constantly, they become the very thing that my dream/nightmare has told me. The one sentence of words that I will never forget, and here is what that sentence was:
"Misconception leads to many problems, and those problems lead to an individual becoming encopresistic,malcontented and opprobrious."
I woke up this morning with that phrase running through my brain cells like a disease. And I was unable to figure out as to why that sentence was chosen, so I just decided to find out what the last 3 words meant. If you have a dictionary at home, check it up, and I'm sure you'll see a pattern, these words are all rather depressing. It wasn't until I was at school that I noticed something else, that when the first alphabet of these words are put together, they spell a word extremely familiar in the current school society, a word that is equivalent to a person having a mid-life crisis, the word that is EMO.

Was it a message? Or was it just something to pass on, I don't know. But to me, people who go emo often, are people who don't treasure what they have, people who see life the way it isn't supposed to be. People who are just a step away from suffering a severe paranoia of loneliness. I'm gonna state the fact that life is short, life is indeed harsh, and life is what you make it to be. Even if you fall on a bed of roses, sooner or later, you're gonna sink in, and get impaled by the millions of thorns that are the obstacles of life. Whether you can stand it, is all up to you. You don't have to live your life the way people do or say, live it the way you see fit. Au Revoir all...

Just For Fun

I've got no news or stories for this post actually, just a quick vid from youtube for you guys to enjoy. I found it while searching for senseless videos on youtube, and this just made me laugh extremely hard for about half an hour. So enjoy...

Valentines Day

Hello people! I do hope you had a good Valentines Day this year. I know I sure did. My Valentines started from yesterday night actually, haha. It kind of ended this afternoon, but it was all worth it and fun. But it didn't end there, went to Summit with Li Yon and Ken Zhi later in the evening. We were actually going there to get our class shirts done up, but turns out the shop we planned to go to had shut down already. So instead me and Li Yon decided to watch The Pink Panther 2, Ken Zhi had personal things to attend to(actually he had to leave early). It was a great laugh, nothing we wouldn't expect from a show with Steve Martin in it. Oh yea and we saw Roy watching it too! By the way, Roy's an ex-prefect from my ex-school.

Just look at the man....pure stupidity.

I do encourage all who read this to watch it, really good humour exposure. If there was any lesson to be learnt, I guess it would be not to underestimate anyone despite how they behave, lol. Well that's about all I have to say this time. Au Revoir all!

Life In The New School

Well it's been 1 month and a half since I came to this learning establishment so it's not really new anymore. I've learned endless awesome facts here, and the students here are evolving in friendship really rapidly. We've seen some pretty gnarly stuff these past few weeks. Our chemistry classes especially, take a look at this, and to all of you who enjoy first impressions, this is not the stuff that you excrete out of your reproductive organs...

This white thick liquid, is corn flour mixed with water. Though playing with that mixture itself sounds nice, this "experiment" wasn't done to see how much we enjoyed it. This mixture strangely, is liquid-like and sticky at first, but after applying a small amount of force, it is able to almost immediately convert into a bouncy-rubber like substance. Apply even more force, like a punch, and it can feel like you're punching a brick wall. After that, i reverts back to a liquid state. Totally radical stuff, guess we humans can walk on liquid after all.

The next cool experiment we did was crystallization,we were split into groups and then we had to put coloured powder into a small amount of hot water in a cup, then lower a rock into the liquid using string. Then we left it in the chemistry lab for a week to settle and form. A week later, we went to recover our experiments. Other groups had their rocks completely encased in a thick growth of crystal, like so...

Our rock didn't change at all! Instead, crystal formed only above the rock, on the string...

It was funny that our rock was untouched, but when we went to the toilet to drain the water, what we found at the base of the cup was something truly amazing.

A cluster of monoclinic type crystals

Here's a side profile, to better see what monoclinic crystals look like. It's a bit like staglagtites in caves.

Other teams had different types of crystals formed too,
