The Song and The Intrigue of Black Holes

I give up on that topic. Yup. I'm going to talk about something more... erm... related to us as a whole. Something everyone would understand.

We sang samantha that song today lah... very lame sia. At first chunling was writing the lyrics then she tell sam that "it's just computer club stuff."
After geog class, we RANNNNNN down to class and hid away in some secluded corner outside the class to practice.

Then chunling came... with sam! Ya. I laughed lor. The whole thing was a pretty silly idea, but nonetheless will make ppl very gan dong de! =)

"Think of commando's pineapple head"

I cannot make myself sing. It's too funny for me to bear.

Today when I reached home, I went into the study room. I amazingly discovered a pretty big house lizard on the wall near the table!!! Freaky huh. So I retreated into the toilet to change.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the bus I was reading that same old book again. Yes I know I'm a boring person. This chapter was about how black holes can stop time... or rather about time itself!
Imagine you are a little photon. (light particle)
If you went to the edge of a black hole, you may be kinda stuck there. (that is, if you're lucky enough to be exactly on the EDGE.)

(edge--> I mean in the event horizon(the place where stuff are in danger of getting sucked into the black hole), near the black hole but not exactly IN the black hole.)

You will not lose or gain any energy. So you will not get out of the hole, nor will you get into it. You will be just stuck there. Applying this to clocks, means that time will stop.

I'm thinking of setting up this 'cheat-money' beauty centre.

ADVERTISMENT BREAK:

The ULTIMATE dream of many women...
To stay young forever!
But how do you do that?
Pills and cosmetics just don't work forever.
Well, now you can, with AstroBeauty's
COSMOCOSMETICS Treatment!
Come to the AstroBeauty Centre now,
Prices start from a MERE $100,000!

Oh my gawd... I can imagine all the tai tais coming now. In fact I just heard the phone ring!

If I could send an extremely vain woman to the edge of a black hole, and leave her stuck there, won't I be granting her lifetime dream of staying young forever?
But oh wait now.
How to get her out later leh?
Hahahahaha.....
At least she paid me 100k for this 'treatment'.

DISCLAIMER
'You may come back to earth safely after this programme. not.'

Hahaha! So bad right. So the moral of the story is "Don't risk your life for vanity."

Yep. Study hard! =D

Believe in yourself!

This is a post for Samantha!
Yes, especially for you.

You don't have to get an 'excellent' from the -toot- person!
The opinions of others may not be true.
In this case, this person is talking crap lah.
Why should you be "excellent"?
So what if others can get the "excellent" remark from -toot-?
To me, it doesn't mean anything.

Being my scientific self, here's an equation!

eft=c2

excellent from -toot- = crap square!

You're already a good person!
You don't need lame remarks from -toot-!
Yeah that -toot- go and say that kind of thing to me.
He insulted Albert indirectly!
He's gonna get it from Albert one day!!!!!
I hate him. Stupid lah go and insult my idol Albert.

So you see?
This -toot-'s comments and opinions are all crap.
He doesn't even show ANY respect for the GREATEST physicist of all time!
Just proves the -toot-'s IQ, EQ, and immaturity.
Hmph.

Jiayou k?
You can achieve your dreams!!!
Be yourself, because it's the best thing to do!
All the best for the finals!

From the members of SLS

yay!

Although I feel very ashamed of myself for writing down the wrong facts during the geog CA today, (coniferous forest trees can grow up to 40m...lol) I'm glad, yes very GLAD that I don't have to listen to Mdm Seah talk about contour lines anymore.

I see contour lines everyday okay... my room the drawers etc. all got that wavy line design thingy. Em... Don't mean to insult mdm seah. Just that I hear until sian le. Mdm Seah actually taught us pretty well lah.

Somehow I feel kind of depressed today because of the weather. Hot weather makes me like that. :( And furthermore, my back is feeling depressed too, because my bag was REALLY heavy today. The road back home was like walking on Venus without a spacesuit on.

But alas, all my books are back home! =)

Oh... the personality test Julia showed me right... its pretty interesting. I chose A. It said that I am the type who is not affected by words, but more by actions. Even a little present or card can make me very... em... touched,or gan dong bu yi, as stated by the text.

Thinking over it in the bus, it's true. A guy can tell me stuff like "Oh my beloved thee, I will love you with all of my heart, all my life. Will you marry me?" and I will STILL be unaffected. Sorry. (were you disgusted???)
I don't want to marry someone as immatured as you, thank you. Whatever lahz... Maybe at first, I'll be very disgusted, but I'll manage to pick my wits back from being too disgusted.

It's like... okay another example. Someone says, "Oh, I will do the work later, don't worry." but DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. (I admit to doing that sometimes myself) Come on, I wanna see some action from you! Rather than telling me you'd do it, I'd rather actually SEE you do it.

My life sounds like an action/comedy movie already.

I was reading the "Einstein's Universe" book while I was in the bus and in the MRT. Yup. Although I was alone all by myself reading about black holes and cosmos and physics in the MRT while the rest of you were chatting away with the sec 3s, I actually felt... the weight of my bag going away. I like the feeling of being totally in the world of cosmophysics. Which is a good sign, as it means that I was VERY engrossed. (thanks for the 10%, albert!)

It's a pity that we don't get to see stuff like that in Singapore. If we could, I would have asked my parents to buy me a telescope! So cool huh. Then I can stare at the sky with it every night. I am anticipating that day. Just someday. *looks into the distance*

I understand how galaxies form now. Which is soo sooo cool, because I bet Mr Yap doesn't know, MUAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm so mean, hee! And Mr Yap actually THINKS that we don't know what Shearing is huh. So bad. I use photoshop I know leh. Dun belittle 2/1 hor. =D

I am again absolutely disgusted by the fact that there are people who...

-think the earth is actually SQUARE!!! People who know how gravity works should know that it would be impossible for the earth to be square.

-think that the earth is flat. -_- Earth's atmosphere has a curvature, in case they haven't seen it.

-try to actually prove that einstein's theory of special relativity is wrong. Why do they want to ruin such a beautiful theory in the world of physics?

-think that if you believe that the earth is round, you will not go to heaven. -_-

hellooo there to all,

just stopping by to say hi. not that anyone would be online at this juncture but just felt like coming online so here i am!

yupps mugging away... studied for 2 hours straight liao. not really alot though. but then i've already finished the maths paper 2003 in 45 min and have left two more chapters until i finish all the complete science syllabus. geog is currently last on my list... sooo i better get started asap.

not really much to say la but then just wanted to wish everyone [ah julia, ah xin, ah chun, reika shi fu, edha my fairy godmother and yunting and jael] all the best for the exams!

ok i shall blog more after the exams....time to go mad online by then. x) Back to the world of studies!

Our Home Economics Practical Exam!

Well the day started out pretty fine until the home ec exam.

I was chopping my pizza toppings, samantha doing the mash potato thingy, julia the pancakes and the drink.
And while we were busy chopping,

OH MY GOD! Zut zut passed by and you know what she wore today?!

BRIGHT, HOT PINK blouse okay!!! Don't play play arh!

Aiyo! I think she just fell in love or something izzit? And it was REALLY this colour... The one shown above. Normally she only wears boring colours like grey, dark blue, dark green... Ya, those kind of booooring colours. But today, she was so striking! Wha! From 50 metres away also can see! Or she suddenly wanted to release the woman in her which was hidden in her for a very long time. haahahahahahhahahaa!!!

Everything was okay UNTIL we were mashing the potatoes and making the pancakes.

Mashed potatoes--- ARGH! Left TEN MINUTES ONLY!!! It was crazy man. We should have boiled the potatoes longer lor. End up abit hard leh. :(

Then samantha and I were having great difficulties trying to mash it. I went up to the extent of taking the big knife to literally STAB the potatoes really hard so that they could be mashed more easily... I was stabbing and stabbing and cutting and chopping and stabbing and mashing the potatoes at the same time. =P With samantha's help of course. Thanks arh!

--- Re- Enactment ---
(fake re-enactment for your reading pleasure. None of ANY PART of this re-enactment is true.)
Me: DIE!!!!! *stab*

Potatoes: *puny sound* NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Me: DIEEEEE!!! GO AND DIEEEEE!!!!

Potatoes: *very soft and weak call for help* AAAH! Help usss! Nooo! We are just poor little cute potaties! Pwease don't kill usss!

Samantha: Go xin! Jiayou! I'm sure we can finish in time.

Potatoes: Nooooo! Pweazzeee dun't keel us! We are innocent!

One wise old potato who is getting smashed: Sigh... No point screaming for help. We were grown to be eaten. And besides, her friend is encouraging her to kill us. Give up hope, comrades. We cannot save ourselves this time.

---End of stupid re-enactment---

I am ruthless.
I am a murderer!
I am... THE POTATO MASHER! *evil laugh*

Eh you know what's so maluating? While I was doing that, The Ghost (I thought 7th month over liao? Howcome he still on earth?) and Mr Hay (yes sorry, he's still wearing the same old blue shirt, sadly nothing interesting like Ms. Zut Zut. So sad right.) passed by home ec room, then Mr Hay was looking at me. WHA LAO I must have looked damn idiotically violent, man. Like I really stabbing someone. =P Hahaha!

Now I think about it I also wanna laugh lah, hahahaha! Left 10 minutes only mah. I was very nervous... So afraid that we couldn't finish the mashed potatoes AND the pancakes in time. But in the end managed to lah. See we so heng right?

Oh yar the PANCAKES. Julia's pancake very nice except for the abit chao tah part. But mine leh. The one I made never flip over in time. Aiyah. So you know what happened right. CHAO TAH!!! Ya.

The SCOTCH PANCAKES I was aiming to cook became SCORCHED PANCAKES. And no, my eyesight is fine. Another example to show that one word error can make a difference. A big one.

I should say I was conducting an experiment in the Kitchen 2! I turned pancake batter into CARBON!!! OH MAN! So funny lah that time. We all 3 laughing and laughing because I was laughing very hard. Haiz. See lah all because of me wasted the batter. Haiya.

Mrs Sin: "I smell something burnt over there... Who was that?"
Us: "Hee Hee Ha Ha Hee Hee Ha Ha"

Aw MAN! I'm really bad at this for my first try. Nevermind. After the exams, I will practice! Haha. But the 3rd pancake turned out quite okay, except that it was... erm... out of shape. First one got half of one side chao tah. Hehe! At first we didn't know that there was that... frying... dunno what you call that.

You know... That thing hawkers use to fry noodles? Arh. That thing.

We had trouble turning it over at first, so we used the knife I stabbed the poor potatoes with. And ended up scratching Mrs Sin's non-stick frying pan pretty badly. Oops! Sorry Mrs Sin! We students go mad (as you can see) when given a small time frame to finish something.

Hey...

Although the drink was quite bland, it's healthy... Hahaha.

And the pizza... Not that I want to self praise (haha since when I self praise right) but I think it's nice EXCEPT that the crust was abit too hard. It became like... a Biscuit?

The mashed potatoes were great, but dunno why tasted abit bland also. I think we should have added more cheese leh. And mashed the potatoes more.

Last but not least our pancakes...delicious but erm. Chao tah. Aiyah nevermind lah. At least it's nice.

Yup. We miraculously managed to finish! Great job everyone! =)

So everyone pray hard that Mrs Sin will give us good marks... Hahaha. We already tried our best and we have no regrets, except for me, who has since regretted even TRYING to make a pancake. =D

Have a nice weekend! Study hard! =)

LOST!!!!!!

Alert!!!

In another episode of Lost. In this episode, a former rockstar and drug addict's life was depicted as the past continues tp haunt him. His name is Chad. Meanwhile, troubles continue as Claire (the pregnant girl) escapes her abductor and returns to the campsite. Plans were made to protect her and to capture her mysterious abductor alive. Jack (the doctor) and Lupe (the hunter) were in charge of setting a trap. Saaid and two others worked up a trap to trap the abductor during the night when he was thought to have struck. The next morning, they realised that their trap was damaged by the abductor's force entry. However, Claire was still safe at the camp. Jack finally agreed to Kate's decision to use the four guns he hid somewhere to good use. The plan was that Claire was to be the bait to lure the abductor while the others were in ambush. Chad was allowed to go. He was the one that had always tried to protect and cared for Claire. They agreed that the guns were only to be used as a threat to force the abductor to surrender, not to kill so as to know the reason behind the abduction. Fearing for Claire's safety, Chad secretly followed the team into the dense forest where it began to rain. Now, Claire was all alone, left to wonder in the vast jungle. Suddenly, the abductor appeared, charging towards her. I felt that he was so silly to try to abduct her at this time and this place as a girl would not have no motive as to come to the forest alone, he should have felt that something was amissed. Jack pounced onto the abductor as he was too busy chasing Claire. During the struggle, the gun fell out of Jack's hand. At this point, Lupe and the others rushed out to help. By then, the abductor knew that he was overnumbered and surrendered. BANG! There was a bloody bullet shot into the abductor's chest. Chad picked up the gun Jack dropped and shot him in anger. The abductor fell dead onto the groud. Everyone went back to camp with a heavy heart and burried the dead body. Now, they will never know the reason the abduction made on Claire and most importantly what he was doing on the island. When Jack spoke to Chad, Chad confessed that he did it out of rashness in a bid to protect Claire from all dangers and that he would let nothing happen to Claire anymore. How touching!

In the next episode, humans have gone mad! The guns have been misused. Someone shot Lupe! can the guns be retrieved before any more shootout occurs on the island! Watch lost to find out! Here's you TV reporter signing off!

As I promised...

BOO! Hahaha does he look scary?

What can I say man.

Hello people!

Last day of the September holidays! I don't even realise it. Maybe my brain needs a reboot or maybe a defrag! Yesterday I was doing the 2001 Maths paper 1... question 5 got problem liao... How? I'm so waayyy slow! Albert Einstein help me! Please? Mr Einstein??? I really need some of your intelligence in Maths... Can you please help me? I promise I'll put in my 100%! Your 10% is probably all I need to score As! =)

Hahaha... Ya I sure wish he was my math/science teacher. But he's dead. All good things come to an end! I guess I'll paste a pic of him in front of my face when I'm doing the assessments. Then I can feel more inspired to continue. I feel like I'm getting a brain clot when I do maths lor. Why leh. I hate it man. But I muz come to love it somehow. What a miserable, saddening, melancholic love story.And why must I be involved in this love story? =P Haha.

You see, you understand my pathetic level of intelligence? My 100% is not even Einstein's 1%. That's why if he juz can impart me his 10%, I'd be more than happy to take it into my brain!

Time for me to daydream...

Einstein: Here's the 10% of the best mathematical parts of my intelligence. It's a perfect piece. *hands it over to me with both hands with a smile*

Me: OMG OMG OMG THANK YOU!!! *Stuffs it into my own brain* Ah, I already feel smarter instantly! Thanks, Albert! *smiles a big smile*

Einstein: You're welcome! It is certainly my pleasure to make the human race smarter! *grins*

Me: Oh, oh, and would you mind being my math and science (physics) teacher?

Einstein: Oh sure! I love teaching those subjects! They should be made known to everyone.

(At this point of time, while I'm in a moment of mathematical bliss with my scientific idol who is a total genius, Mr Yap stares in utter jealousy at Albert Einstein.)

Mr Yap: Xinyi, after I have taught you all these years, you want to ditch me as your mentor for maths and go to HIM??!! You mean I'm not as good as HIM??!!

Me: Ya lah obviously lah. Eh you know the octal number of 14?

Mr Yap: *stunned* *to keep his ego, he gives a wrong answer.*

Einstein: Ahahahahaha!!! The answer is *answer here*.

Me: *laughs at Mr Yap* See?

Mr Yap: FINE! I shall QUIT working as a teacher! My student don't appreciate me at all... Sniff... *walks away* But what about my OTHER students? Maybe-

(Suddenly, all his students appear in front of him out of nowhere.)

Students: YES MR YAP IS LEAVING!!!! WOOOOOT!!! Bye bye! Enjoy your retirement! *they start celebrating* (a student spraying silly string around accidentally sprays it onto Mr Yap's head, leaving him with a afro hairdo. He is completely oblivious to it.)

Mr Yap: *more hurt* *suddenly realises that he has silly string all over his head* (he stares longingly at the BIG fruity colourful cake which the students are happily eating) *Starts to cry and runs away like a woman who was being ditched by her boyfriend.*

Mr Yap: *thinking* So mean... I'm so hungry then they dun let me eat... Humph!

--------End of my silly story---------

OMG! I wish this story could come true! Everybody go and pray hard that it will ok? Hahahaa... For me I'm juz gonna pray really hard that the first part will come true for all of us in SLS... Then maybe we should call ourselves Shan Liang Geniuses Society, hahahahaha! Ya right. Just kidding. But won't it be nice? Samantha can get the Musical part of Einstein's intelligence-he was good at the violin. Ju and GCL can get the mathematical part!

I sound so kiddy... So old already still daydream this kind of thing. Hahaha!

Anyway I found this caption he said before...

"Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love."

Means that... My hate for maths is polarised? We both are Negative. So, like poles repel! Hahaha. Looks like I'm the one who has to change... I've gotta change to have a POSITIVE attitude to maths so that we attract! Hahaha!

This post is so scientific suddenly. I'll add a pic to liven this up.

He looks so happy... Albert Einstein please help us all score As for our Streaming Exams... Thank you so much! =)

Anyway, hope you all enjoy the rest of your holidays! Jiayou for your revisions... esp. maths and science! But fret not! As long as Einstein's in SLS, he sure bao you us score good marks as long as we put in OUR 100%! Yay!

Oh! The irony!

.:: My Lame Poem ::.

I remember that first day when I stepped into 1/1,
I felt so out of place.
Before I knew it, a year had passed.
And now I'm in 2/1.
I've never felt so united as a class before!
And just as soon as I felt that I'd finally found a class which I belong to,
I realised that I'd have to leave this class very soon.
I wish that I could stay on longer,
but the fact is that I can't.
*Sniff*
But at the same time,
I am hoping that this year could end earlier so that I can study the subjects I really like,
for once.
Oh! The irony!

.:: end of my lame poem ::.

Did you find that lame??? Yes, right? =P Because I'm a horrible amateur poet who doesn't aspire to be a poet in the future AT ALL!

Urm. But seriously, I kinda can't wait for sec3. That is, if I DO get into triple science. You know, the feeling of studying the stuff you really like. But that would come at the expense of letting go of my friends. I guess that's life. Right?

It's as ironical as scientists making electricity out of cow dung.

Now, all I can do is study hard and work hard for this month and the first few days of next month. Time flies eh? I'm feeling lazy. BUT I CAN'T!!! Cuz I have to score good grades for my streaming, then get into triple science+geog, den go online everyday and play The Sims everyday and just SLACK OFF!!! Woot! I can't wait for that day to come man. =D

Dunno what else to say now.

Study hard and don't forget to enjoy the rest of this week!
=D
Play hard once in awhile also!

hello to everyone. so happy that our iap went well. the kids were soooo cute dun u think?

anyways in case u all didnt know, here's some of the details about our geography in drama meeting.

WHERE: Samantha's house. (I'm sure u all know where la)
TIME: I'll be at the mrt station at 11 am. Probably should end at about 3.45 or 4.
DRESS CODE: Usual. This time we're not playing badminton.
ANYTHING TO BRING: nah. except urselves and the script. (and dun bring anything else. this applies to EVERYONE.)

ok that's about it. I have to go now. See y'all on monday.

My Radical Idea. You don't have to read this because the whole idea does not have any proof.

Hi everyone!

I was reading the Longman GCSE Physics book today. I read almost the whole book. Only selected chapters lah. Like atoms, electricity, and Space.
You know, space makes me really think what's going on OUTSIDE our darling earth. Then I saw the picture of the Solar System...

And then I thought,
WAIT!
It does look a tad bit similar to the structure of atoms, doesn't it?

And the planets go around the Sun in eliptical paths. Something like electrons?

"MAYBE, just maybe..." I thought.

"There are universes within universes. The universe we live in now could look like an ATOM to the universe surrounding us. And those universes surrounding us could also look like an atom to the other universe surrounding them."

Then I thought. "Erm what crap am I thinking of. I think I'm going one atom short of an electron. *winces* Now what did I just say?! Too much science for today." *closes book and takes out maths assessment book*

And so I finished a chapter on the Angle Properties of Polygons. Quite peanuts lah.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay enough of my crap. Back to reality. I am a little ashamed to say that the human genome is actually very similar to a banana's, and a chimp's is actually 99% similar to ours. Insult or praise? Depends on the situation.



I could almost rightfully call my fellow human friends and family bananas, and say that it is almost scientifically correct.
But at the same time, I am scientifically wrong because bananas reproduce asexually from their offshoots. We homo-sapiens obviously don't. I mean, we don't grow shoots off our heads, do we? And furthermore, my mum loves to eat bananas. Doesn't that make her a cannibal if I say that homo sapiens are bananas?

You could call your pesky little brother or sister or cousin who messes up your room every Sunday a chimp, and say that you are scientifically 99% correct. Say that the difference of 1% accounts for the little kid's looks and some other stuff. Leave people speechless.

Apparently, bananas could go extinct in the next decade, so please take good care of your loved ones, and do not grow them in soil infected with soil funguses and places infested with pests.

-------------------------------------------------

So how did you all like the previous post by me? Heeheehee. Funny right? Hahaha... Can't wait for monday, can go act out the geog script. Gonna be damn funny oso. =)

Today is gonna be the Project Superstar finals... Everybody go pray hard that Kelly Poon will win k? And don't forget to vote! :) Kelly rocks! Kelly jiayou!

^_^v

And happy teachers' day to any teacher who is reading this blog! Have a nice weekend ahead!

And good luck to us, 2/1, for IAP! =)
