I decided to change my blogskin to something that is neater. Navigate by clicking on the different blocks on the picture.

I went to Nus for science focus on 12, 13 and 14 November.
The first day was really boring. Let me blog about the second and third day instead.
After a morning lecture on relativity, we were grouped into groups A, B, C and D.
Then we went to our respective venues.
Our first stop was this interesting toy that we had to build ourselves.
The idea is to remove an aluminium pole and allow the wooden board on top of the rod to drop down, in the process launching a metal ball through a parabolic path.
If you got the right position of the cup, the ball lands into the cup.
Then, we watched the instructor make ice-cream within 5 minutes.
He added condensed milk, carnation milk, chocolate chip and liquid nitrogen.
He stirred and stirred... until ice cream came out!!!
The ice-cream tasted a bit weird though.
Next up, we went to this science experiment room and played with the stuff inside.
I had a few embarrassing incidents. +.+
OK well it was quite fun.
As eq and i were walking down the stairs to the canteen, we saw person X asking us where he could put his bag.
So eq kindly told him that we left it in the previous classroom.
But in the end X had to carry his bag around and wandered around like a lost sheep since the room was locked LOL he looked totally sad and lost!
So i dubbed X as victim-of-eq since then...

We ate at the canteen later on and suddenly thought of meena!
So meena popped up to join us.
Then out of randomness, the victim-of-eq approached us and declared that he was taking a bus ride around nus.
Once he was out of sight, we started saying that he looked almost ready to get lost on the bus and panick.
And we thought nothing of it afterwards.

************************

30 minutes into our next practical lesson, the hapless victim-of-eq rushed into the lab.
"We got all the way to the... bus interchange... We were so scared on the bus just now... cos it went out of nus...Then had to take a bus back... Took us 30 minutes..."
I almost burst out laughing.
And eq later remarked "...They looked super noob just now i knew it!..." omg very mean! XD

Yes it's a cooking show.
