Haven't posted in AGES.

I'm waiting for fencing trial results, and writing an email to Mr Gary Ortega to request for Capoeira CCA. I won't bother about what merger stuff that's going on, I'll make him give me my cca. I even wrote a nice proposal!

I'm beginning to love my class. There's Daniel Lau(i thought he'd bully me), Benjamin Nah(my secret Maplestory boyfriend two years ago), Ziheng(incredibly amazing guy, in neither a good or bad way), Li Yonghan(really adorable kid who sometimes forgets I'm in his class again), Bryan Lim(cool badminton kid but can be full of rubbish most of the time). Then there's this really enthu girl Claris who gets most of the things done and bravely became civics rep. The other girls are pretty cool as in they have the cool look not the go around screaming and stuff look.

And if I drop to H1 Geography I may lose all of them. At least I knew how wonderful 6C would have been. I love all of you.

But what matters most is that I realize my dreams this time. I remember Max Huang's speech at the end of sec 4.

I wish my poppy seeds will arrive soon enough. Pretty things!

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And would I have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Kids of today, cherish your childhood.
"20 years from now, ppl will go "Rmb the classic by Riley Cyrus?" Oh dear god, kill me now." -Dennis Holmberg, 2009 msn personal message.

I totally agree, not with Riley Cyrus part, but with the fact that the things we see and live today may not be there tomorrow. The faces we know, the places we go. Keep a blog or a scrapbook if it helps, but for the most part, we can only keep it in our hearts and memories that are never lost.

Cherish, today.

Hello world, I survived a shock from the mains. Which was around 220-240V. I have a wound on my finger. The current must have fried its way through.

I must have touched something wrong in my atx power supply. Then the fuse blew. And I jumped back. And i checked my pulse. Still alive. But my heart feels weird now.

I hope my power supply is okay:( i spent so much time making it look pretty.

The point is, don't screw around at your mains, and don't ever turn on the mains while you screw around. That's all folks. Die another day.

I got plenty of electric shocks today, and it made my heart feel really hurt. So kids, don't try to do weird things with electricity. Especially if you're playing with the mains, go buy batteries or a stepdown rectifier. And wear rubber shoes and always keep away from bare wires when the circuit is live.

This education message has been brought to you by the nice and considerate me:D LOVEEE

I missed dance today because I was busy soldering and forgot the time}: stupid me

But anyway, I went to get christmas lights from the electrician at my old condo, got like 100 of them, blew up 5 with my grandpa, then removed them all and ready to use them as ignition for a paper fuse maybe!

Bascially, I heated the bulb and then dip it into water quickly to weaken the strength of the glass at the tip, then I used some wire cutter to snip the head up. Then I powdered a strip of sparkler(thanks to the lack of KNO3 to make a decent fuse) and then filled the bulb up as much as I could.

All I had to do was clip the terminals to my step down rectifier and push 7.5 Volts(so kind!) through that 4.5V, unknown power bulb. The filament goes crazy under the voltage and oxygen from the air and destroys itself by glowing superbright for a split second, which kicks the sparkler powder into action and starts whatever fuse/rocket/motor.


Filament on overdrive, starts a little of the sparkler powder burning


Powder catches on and blasts itself out of the glass bulb


You can now see the powder residue falling back down


Residue lands on the paper, the bulb still contains burning powder/the filament survives this long

I really don't know what happened but it seems that the first blast wasn't all it had to it, the last of the remaining powder lights


FIREWORKS:D PRETTYPRETTY!


So much powder is expelled that some burn only when it is on the paper


Sadface}: Now it's really going out


And it dies, with the spread of powder(and ignition material) pretty far (thumbs up!)

(The above all took place in 300ms or less than a third of a second)

I shall burn another tomorrow but add a ball of cotton soaked with methanol around to prove it really works. OH another eureka moment, i shall shake the powder hard with methanol and then pour all of it over a small piece of tissue paper, wrap it up so it hugs the powder and let it dry. Then we get a super pretty POOF!

Tomorrow I shall start on my control box, am very serious about that! Shall use Plywood!

DUMDEEDUM I'm so smart.

Some days ago I decided to make something for Lihong. I realized she was one of the few people who didn't receive a birthday present from me(cause she paid me back everything) I decided to make a sparkler rocket and that was what sparked the explosives precursor license application and the sudden electric dream.

I'm gonna make a control box to ignite the sparkler rocket at a distance(actually just to be cool)
I found myself in a shop in simlim tower where i got:
1) Press on switch
2)Flick switch
3)Key switch(am going to modify to make a safety/armed switch
4)Capacitors(which I realized were too low a voltage for me)
5)Mulitmeter(tired of not knowing the voltage/resistances/current
6)Step down rectifier

Now I realize I need to step up the voltage. So I'm going to get myself a step up transformer, hopefully a decent capacitor, and some random nice stuff.

Now my mouth feels kinda weird inside cause i've been biting on my brother's water bottle thing from army. It's like a saggy container that expands as you put water inside and you put in your bag and suck the tube so the water gets in your mouth. I drink like 2 litres just for the fun of it.

My baby cousin:


Some nice design bag from shop at cathay:


I'm blowing into the bottle thing via the pipe now. Nice to hear the bubbling sound. I have decided this will be my new practical water bottle tomorrow!

Love.

P.S. Just realized I can use it as an oxygen tank.

I declare myself the champion of handstand! I did handstand from 2009 - 2010! ONE YEARRRR! I feel my arms so much stronger already.

Happy new year. Love!

这会很短，因为我很累。

在写诗。

美丽不在于让你开心的事。美丽藏在一样你无法捉摸的东西，它让你自己觉得很小，但给你生存的意义。它可以在你心里吹一粒粒晶莹剔透的泡泡，可是常常只有杀那的光芒。它是雨过天晴，也是狂风暴雨。它也绝对不是完美的。
它能做很多很多。但你永远逃脱不了，它主宰一切。

它可以是一幅画，一首歌，也或许是活生生的一个人。人能征服很多很多，但美丽的东西，永远有种让你无法抵挡的力量。
I'm so smart I keep thinking of cool things like this. Don't be jealous okay! It's bad for you:(

Went to find Derek Yeo Zi Hiang today. He seemed peeved when he saw us at Sukiyaki(or whatever that restaurant's called) Blew bubbles out of my window after getting home. They're really pretty, only more so when I see my beautiful self in them :P
Had gun duel with my brother, which involved executions and quickdraws and shots to the head. FUNFUNFUN! -clapclap-

Grace isn't back yet. She just disappeared! That's so unfair! Shall dao her when she ever does return.

I wish everyone a happy happy fun crazy drunk New Year's Eve. Spend it with your girlfriend/boyfriend husband/wife family and friends. Remember to pat each other on the head much.

And thank you all those who shared their day with me, over the phone when neither of us could sleep(but then I got tired of you so I slept HAHA!), behind the barrel(brother), behind the counter(two talkative kids at lego shop), walking around(Mike Lee, John Yu, Charles Yong, Katie)

Quote of the day: The stupidest charge the hardest -AQLH by day, Cleopatra by night
I wish more people can say sensible and random things like that, I'd have no trouble finding quotes of the days then.

Happy New Year Barbies and Kens.

Yong Xin isn't answering my calls. I don't want to make Bumbum feel lousy by calling him and troubling him so much. Shall wait.

Grace says my hands are not nice to hold}: sadface! She's probably right. I've been doing so many cartwheels handstands Kong vaults the skin on my palm keeps flaking off and it really really hurts when I clench my fist sometimes. Plus, I'm kinda worried about myself. I remember that day I helped carry the gargantuan box of paper from the gym hall down to the paperchain stash till the box handle broke. Eewei, Lester or Ben probably didn't see it but it was bleeding at the bus stop}: maybe my tolerance to pain is getting dangerously high.

However, I must remind myself that my kong vault is improving like crazy. Run, Dive, Fly, Run:D HAPPY FACE!
I must also start to learn how to dive, by going to swim tomorrow!
Parkour's really mind-blowingly dangerous at times. You don't actually notice how many things can go wrong and how many ways you can die by just losing focus, or slipping a little on your approach.

My shoulders hurt from breakfalls, my right arm has tiny tiny scratches on it, palms are just plain painful. So in sum, I'm A VERY HAPPY BOY! TAADAA!

I will vault the length of that picnic bench tomorrow. I love picnics:D just the word is dreamy enough. Oh and I have dreams of funny people I know being funny people from the past(as in from Cleopatra to Hitler ages) 

And I wanna kiss you for reading my blog. Haha how scandalous!

I'm going out later:D

You're stuck at home reading this:D

Which makes me super cool and you a poor poor boy/girl.

AWW DON'T SAD!!
I deleted yesterday's post cause Andrea pointed out a spelling error in the clause. She reads my blog to satisfy her perverse hobby of making people sad and gives baleful remarks on anything she has issues about, which is just about everything.

BUT I DON'T MIND! That's because I'm sweet loving and understanding. Okay you all know that too well!

Buhbye! (When i say buhbye i feel so pooh-ish)
I love pooh!



AWW totally looks like me. Yellow, chubby-ishly cute, and wear RAD!
