The Oobleck Journey

Oobleck. meaning NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID
Thanks to Ten Cheer, I finally realized that I had been playing with it all along while my mum was making kuey.
Now, run along and check out this cool videos.

I also tried to make the fluid, known as 'watery dough' to aunties.
It's really fun and easy (though messy). Just get a container and add cornstarch and water in the ratio of 2-3:1. I'm not sure if cornstarch is cornflour, but I replaced it with cornflour and it worked. I also added some red food colouring and it ended up looking like strawberry ripple ice-cream.

The star [GOO!]

I put it on the cloth.

The cloth absorbed some moisture and I could pick it up easily as a solid, but soon dripped.

I put it in the freezer.

It hardened.

My body temp melted it.

I put it in the toaster oven.

It dried and hardened up. I used a fork to poke it open.

The food colouring sank to the bottom.

ODD!~ 慧田

Ytd night, I was reading New Moon until 12.30am. So actually I was reading until today morning. I cried reading the part Edward left Bella. Am I amazing, insane or a crybaby? Haha. I like Twilight! At least it's easier to imagine than Harry Potter. HP has a lot of plot and is too magical and complicated for me to imagine. And that kills the fun of reading. So I've never finished reading a HP book and remembered what I read. I need to try again. There's this Team Edward/ Jacob thing. I like both of them so I can't choose. I'm Team Bella for now. But Jadine said that she hated Bella from the end of New Moon to the end of the series. So I may change team very soon. I'm currently halfway through New Moon.

Drama addiction--

My Lucky Star 放羊的星星 It's really a great drama with great songs. I know these things don't happen in real life. But, still nice haha xD Jimmy Lin 林志穎 as 仲天騏 Yoo Ha Na 유하나 劉荷娜 as 夏之星 放羊 is quoted from 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' bcos 放羊 means to be a shepherd. In 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf', the sheperd boy cried wolf 3 times and when the wolf really came, no one believed him. 放羊 means to lie. 星星 is quoted from 夏之星's name. So 放羊的星星 means Lying 夏之星 actually hahahah Like the boy who cried wolf, 夏之星 had lied one too many times. So when she did tell the truth, nobody believed her except for the most unlikely person, 仲天騏, a runaway young master of a jewelry empire. His belief in her inspired her to become a real jewelry designer instead of a lying, scheming jewelry con artist. In the process, she taught him the real value of jewels that he is destined to inherit. P.S! 仲天騏 is a F1 car racer in the drama. And that is so awesome, cos Jimmy Lin is a real professional car rac...

birthday

Ummmmm so my friend forgot my birthday, and wished me 2 days later. Was I expecting too much? I can't really remember but I think after JC, we stopped giving each other birthday gifts? Maybe because we met each other less. But if friends gave me a present, I would obviously reciprocate. Before, at least she would facetime me to wish me a happy birthday. When it was her birthday last year, I wished her happy birthday, but didn't prepare anything. But she happened to be nearby and invited me over, and then I bought her a cake although she said she didn't need one. So I was kind of expecting something on my birthday, especially since she moved to somewhere nearby. I don't expect people to remember my birthday. I myself am terrible at remembering birthdays. Unless your birthday is on a holiday or special occasion, I have to check Facebook. But at least have an idea of which month people's birthdays are in. And I even put my birthday on Facebook. Fb even reminds you of y...
