3rd day
1. No bio cuz a few ppl were on a geo trip. Discussed my course work with my teacher and she revealed a room with full of sciencey stuff in it. Instead of borrowing something useful for my course work, i borrowed 'A Brief History of Time' by Stephen Hawking and i was pretty happy about it somehow.
2. Maths lesson wasnt too bad..learning about matrices so i could do most of the questions =)
3. Talked to my family and i was speaking mandarin most of the time..glad that i havent completely forgotten it ^^
4. Chemistry class was exciting. No teaching involved as the 'geo ppl' were still missing in action. So....we bent glass =P
- cut through center of hollow glass tube using glass cutter *this is the hard part x..x*
- heat the broken ends and wait for it to cool
- burn the center of glass and wait for it to soften
- and when the moment is right..pull it apart to form a 'strand' of glass
- cut the strand
- TADAA you get a dropper by just adding a rubber top to the 'unburnt' part hehe
Then we tried to make a U-tube..bending the glass to 90 degree angles. The first one i did was not too bad but it wasnt hot enough to bend. The second one was 'too hot' to bend so it was too soft. Im not sure about the 3rd one hahaha..ran out of time..
5. Fresh air from rain
6. A call from home
7. Had a nap before supper..my eyes hurt..makes me tired =(
8. Received pictures of my cat from Ruyee xD
