Pic of the day: Max blowing ice through a straw at YK in Macs.

Just found some nice websites on del.icio.us.

Medical Myths:

1. The belief that we only use 10% of our brains appears to be completely untrue.
2. Reading in dim light does not damage your eyes.
   
3. And there is little evidence to support the banning mobile phones from hospitals on the basis of electromagnetic interference.

haha. Haven't done chinese book report.

Briefly... Two days of induction comm.
Day one - Amazing Raze

More like amazingLY boring race - walking from RI to MacRitchie and back again was hardly fun.... Scholars were not too enthusiastic anyway. Talking to Alan, XZ, YK and LL was meaningful though.

Day two- Soccer + Water Bomb fight

Spent two hours making water bombs... There was a mad rush for water bombs even though we tried our best to ration them slowly. All the comm members were real wet from backstabbing even before it started(Mr. Law too). Probably the most fun part for me.

And now for a pic of my new laptop desktop. Yep it uses Ubuntu. Very cool.


Hah aren't you jealous now. :p

Reflections on a year past

Well lock leong asked me today about what I think has changed about myselfin the past year. I gave a brief if somewhat incomplete answer and i feel that I owe it to myself to write about how i have grown as a person.

 

Basically in the area of schoolife  (past and present)- I made new friends and lost touch with old ones(sadly). I feel more at home in my CCA now than ever before - a result of holiday trainings? I feel that I have been influenced by my friends in many more ways than can be written here. Dom lo,joel, xian zheng, lock leong, my juniors and seniors in cross and science club. Moulded me into a different(i can't say better for sure) person. The year was fun, and I will miss my class.

 

Personally, I feel that maybe I have grown to think more before I act and I might have become more responsible and social. The biggest disappointment for me this year is probably the drama challenge and my friends will probably know why. But there were good times as well - fooling around at the corner of the class with friends, cubing during recess and lunch, getting into RA and SMP...

 

As always, it has been a year of ups and downs - i certainly feel that I faltered academically towards the end of the year but it doesn't hurt me now as much as it did.

Arp 87 is a stunning pair of interacting galaxies. Stars, gas, and dust flow from the large spiral galaxy, NGC 3808, forming an enveloping arm around its companion. The shapes of both galaxies have been distorted by their gravitational interaction. Arp 87 is located in the constellation of Leo, the Lion, approximately 300 million light-years away from Earth. Arp 87 appears in Arp’s Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. As also seen in similar interacting galaxies, the corkscrew shape of the tidal material suggests that some stars and gas drawn from the larger galaxy have been caught in the gravitational pull of the smaller one. This image was taken in February 2007 with Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 detector.
