Sweet Coffee, Tea and Ice Cream

Sometimes is good to take your time to do things..

In this modern society.. fast = efficient, time = money, but who got spare a thought for health, who really will pace down for a moment to appreciate the surrounding?

Guess is hard, people nowadays have very little patience for slowness. They just want everything to be fast fast fast.. Please, spare a thought for those who really want to slow down for while and enjoy doing something.

Long weekend is just useful for emotional therapy...

Yumei's grad project showcase

Date: 26th May 2010, Time: about 8pm, Location: Lasalle

Last Wednesday was mei's grad project showcase. I can't believe that she got into Uni much later than me and yet graduated earlier than me. =P

Presenting the Cloud:

Although everyone is from different background, we were still trying to understand her project. Interestingly, it is indeed a unique concept and her explanation is simple and clear enough for us to understand roughly.

Ermm.. except for one who is not paying attention was caught red-handed! haha

There is something particularly I like about her project, which is the idea that we human "contained" ourselves too much in a either squarish or rectangular shaped room. According to yumei, it is thought of that staying in such room is not the best for human comfort. Hence it cut those squares and rectangle into various shapes resulting in curves.

Below is a blown up version of her project. It is on re-design a theatre in singapore. I think is victoria theatre.. (ps: for frends who know correct me if i am wrong.. haha)

Every which, I went to peek at other projects. I admit I was a bit excited that day, one thing is that I have my DSLR on hand, 2nd is that there are so much things that were worth for me to snap it down. Below are some interesting ones:

#1: HSBC helps you remove the pin in your head

#2: The seemed unstable yet stable chair

#3: Cotton on body

#5: Design for a purpose - for the better lives of our future generation

#6: This is suppose to be a design for a recovery room, think is eye surgery related. However, I think I am very happy if I could adopt this design for my future bedroom..haa =P

#7:Ben started shopping but ermm... these were people final yr project too (Fashion design section)

Actually there were more sections I wanted to visit. But my dearest friends were getting hungry and getting impatience haha so no choice had to leave.

Is nice to give support to our closest friend. Soon will be our turn (tys, ben and me), hopefully we can get the same support too! :)

Dr Yamane's birthday

お誕生日　おめてど！

My 1st guided experiment for summer

Below is a picture of my basic setup for a particular reaction for my summer research.

The purpose of running this experiment is intially for my mentor to test my skill. But eventually it turn out to be a guiding and teaching session rather than a test due to my inexperience despite after having 3 yrs of lab session in school. =.=!


Nonetheless, I really do appreciate my mentor for having the best patience to standby me and guided me step by step throughout the experiment. Although gotten lots of scolding from her, but I do appreciate it. Is good to have a TA or experienced chemist just beside you and impart u all the important skills and also pin pointing all the major and minor mistakes made by either inexperience and careless me..

Can you imagine? (for chemistry student only =P )

From
1) Preparing apparatus to make it dry and vacuum then nitrogen gas (this explain the existence of balloon)
2) Use of syringe to draw reagents
3) Draw THP from solvent room
4) Preparing dry ice for (dry ice + acetone) bath
5) Solvent Extraction
6) Rotary Evaporation
7) Setting up NMR machine
to
the best
7) Washing of apparatus

Honestly speaking, I really learnt alot from my mentor today, so much so that I am worrying now that I can't remember everything! Holiday can be stressful too.

Jia you ba Andrew!!

Helix

Helix Bridge

ps : Sengwei! see that the bridge do have a pink lighting side! haha. It really changes from blue to pink!

My thoughts:

Okie, the bridge is beautifully lited with a unique concept of using trying to replicate the structure of a DNA. However, on the bad side, if you actually step into the bridge you will realised there is no shelter against rain or harmful sunrays. It is also gives one a very metallic and futuristic feeling rather than what DNA suppose to symbolise --- life.

But critics aside, the surrounding there could be quite a nice relaxing spot. You can see lots of families strolling, tourist exploring, children playing.. nice

#1:

I like these changing lights.. Make me feel like jumping onto those lights with the kidszz.. but i scared I will get stomp or scared those kidsz away..

#2: Ferris Wheel

#3: Shadow shot
