went to jurong island today for the first time in my life for ICES open house. actually the whole place was quite like wat i had imagined, and the flare towers with those flames are really quite cool.
it turned out to be quite okay, started with making ice cream with liquid nitrogen
(-196 degress celcius). because its so cold, all the liquid were frozen more or less into the ice creams as the liquid nitrogen was poured in slowly. hell lot of smoke bursting out i tell u. quite cool.
then we made our own slime...which is polymerisation by adding two solutions. sian cause my slime spoiled in my bag before i manage to bring it home and show everyone o_O
the lab tour was quite okay. the equipments were considerably cool, just that i didnt understand wat the researchers were explaining half of the time...ok i admit it. much more than half.
well even thou i was the only sorang person from mjc, i kinda enjoyed it, despite the bad bladder problem at the start of the trip -.-'
geez very tired. dun think can mug today...arg.
o ya and i found out something interesting today. zhss is zirconia-hafnia solid solution
