A Day of Learning

Today was quite an interesting day. Learnt quite many things. Both intellectually and socially.

During physics lecture, this ang moh French dude came and give us a talk on his research.. basically its related to STM (not Short Term Memory.. Scanning Tunneling Microscope). He showed us some cool flash movies he made (damn nice la! 3D somemore.. sia la..), some scanning tunneling molecule videos. Although the atoms dont look very clear and quite fuzzy, it was quite cool sia.. Haha.. then he told us the new fields being explored.. quantum physics methods of trying to create a circuit (hence a CPU), making an atom turn, and hopefully turn another larger atom beside it, and slowly end up turning a huge thingy (wah. imagine a puny atom turning a huge wheel.. imba.)

Yeah.. many cool stuff.. We were given this 2 page handout (colour-printed in quality paper!) and a pen (which doesnt work LOL).. Dr Christian Joachim was a very interesting speaker.. but his French accent quite hard to follow at times.. the China scholars sitting a few chairs away kept giving a strained and pained look.. Damn hilarious XD

After his talk, he was given some souvenir thingy from the school.. I took 2 pictures when some French teacher was giving him the souvenir, she even asked him to come back next year! (But I wont be here liao... damn..)

Wah.. everyone get this super high quality COLOURED paper.. he must have spent a bomb printing it.
The pen that doesnt work.. Thank ar..

Dr Joachim scratching his throat.. maybe he talk too long without a break and without drinking water, thats why his throat so itchy.

Also.. today.. I found out 2 ways to improve concentration in class.. Of which, the first is probably obvious but I have be heck-caring.. and the 2nd one? Something Mervyn invented during Math tutorial. Haha

1) Talk Less Learn More (TLLM) - States the obvious. Lol
2) Lift Legs = Awake + Abs! (LLAA) - Involves sitting at the end of the chair and trying to lift your legs horizontally straight without falling off. Trains your stomach muscles and definitely keeps you awake. Hence you will learn more. Give it a try. It works 99.9%, given a 0.1% p-value.


Hm.. I think I pissed someone off 2 days ago.. Till now the person still act damn differently. Its like total personality change. And I have no idea what the heck I did..
Gorden confirmed it today, heard he kanna also when he asked about it.. What I do sia.. Someone tell me -.-

Anyway! Can't wait for the first Mardi Gras jamming practice now that Fawwaz has been giving the green light to continue taking part and Ryan is becoming our lead singer! Yay!! No more random-zhao-siangs Davin being lead singer, though probably still hear me being the support singer XD
