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.

Update

 Ok so yesterday I went to bai nian at godparents' house. Godma asked me in front of like 6 people that I don't know whether I still want Lego. And apparently recently there was an episode where Mama introduced the Godsis as her goddaughter to someone, and Godsis asked “为什么这么见外？” Then Mama asked me if I was willing to be called her 'daughter' as well. In my brain I was thinking "wtf?". I had never registered in my mind that there was such a big difference, especially since they had no biological daughters. Hello I call you Mama and Daddy, not Godma and Godpa. So maybe it was just me who thought that it's no big diff. But sometimes the diff becomes so painfully obvious. Then I said sure. Sometimes my brain gets stuck in the present. I can't find words to defend myself. Only after thinking about it for hours, or in the shower or in bed, then I find the words coming to me. Godsis is one of a kind la. Her actual surname is Chua but she says her surname is ...

我做了一件很对不起妈妈的事

 妈妈，对不起。 我真的不想这么做的。 但是当时我真的没有办法，我也解释不了。 我以为可以几天后就可以解决，然后就跟你说。但是没想到拖了那么久，还没解决。所以我到现在都没说，然后被你发现了。 我其实这一个月每天心脏都跳得很快，砰砰地跳。虽然平时心跳就很快，但是好像比平时更快。有些天还会有一股闷气在胸口堵住。每天都在想这个事，非常的不安。太煎熬了。这种事我再也不做了。我从现在起一定先学了才轻微的尝试。 我只能慢慢地还你了。 今天看《余生，请多指教》第26集看到顾肖，唉，怎么会跟我一样呢。太失败了

Today was Science and English Paper 2. I thought the Science paper was the easiest paper so far. But apparently it did not seem so to the rest. English was okay... But the terrible thing was the summary shld be 150 words, but i got only 129. Sianz. Today I didn't bring my wallet again... Leading to slight gastric pain -.- These few days been addicted to some stuff... E.g playing with the tennis ball, kajiao-ing almost all my friends. Like in the Archie comics, Dilton had stuff to do for people while Reggie had stuff to do TO people. So probably I'm the Reggie kind. HAH And I've decided that a digital clock is much nicer against the background than an orange clock that drips citric acid. So there. De...
