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

To Be With You 10.Don't Let Go 11.Your Eyes Don't Lie 12.Angels Of all, I like "Barriers" the most. No, I LOVE "BARRIERS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD It kinda surges through me. The others are really good too. I don't really like "Desperate". It gives me the shivers... Not David A's problem. I just don't like that word. So I feel weird at the beginning and end of the song. The middle of the song is quite nice. David A took part in the composing in 2 songs in the album. Which are: A Little Too Over You and Don't Let Go Hope everyone can support them. GAH. THIS ALBUM WAS REALLY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. Now I'm all over David A again lols. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting it to be this good. Cos you know. David Cook beat him again in sales. So I was thinking whether the album w...

One of the Things I Hate The Most

Today morning, Mummy flew to Penang to for my Ah Ma's wake, so my Er Gu Zhang is staying at my house while she's away, to ensure Daddy won't starve or fall down. Bcos I go to school until quite late. Oh yeah, lemme digress a bit first. I had my LSM3211 CA1 today, and although I didn't finish studying, I felt that it was so much better than last sem. What's different is that I tried harder to study this time, and yesterday night, I managed to stop myself from watching the latest episodes of 2D1N and 稍息立正我爱你! I know the proper thing to do is to finish studying, but I really did improve from last sem. For that, I need to praise myself, encourage myself, pat myself, because I learned that scolding myself is just going to discourage me. I have been a bad student since secondary school, and I think I've improved the most in this period of time. I am a perfectionist. I am not praising myself, because that's not a good thing. My brain used to turn off every time t...

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 ...
