The Tale of Peter Rabbit

I must say i really like the movie Miss Potter. This movie is about an author of children's literature from the early 1900s. I particularly like the sets and the costumes in the movie, very Victorian.

I am sure most of us have at least some memory of Peter Rabbit back from our childhood days. Be it our daily reading books or our bed time stories, its nice to see them back in this movie. Its hard to believe that the first edition of this book is actually published in 1902!!!! Yes.... and its published in colour! Very cool.....

Anyway, the original 1902 copy is now a collectors item and the last time i checked it out on the net, it is worth more then US $8000.

For those without deep pockets, there is a movie commemorative version selling for about SDG$14. It can be found in MPH or Kinokuniya bookstores. This commemorative version is a hardcover copy made to look close to the original 1902 edition with its small size.

HP4155A Parameter Analyzer

At last, my spoilt Parameter Analyzer is replaced. It had been down for about 3 weeks?! An awfully long time considering that you have fyp stuff to rush. Hell am i gonna treat this one with extra care! I can't believe that that ancient looking box cost $17,000 in repairs the last time it broke down! $17k!!!! I bet that machine cost more than my BEng if you count in monetary terms.

This is the 3rd week of school and i am still in a vacation mood with a vacation daily schedule. I am currently having 8 hours of sleep everyday, about 3 hours of tv/movies and 2 hours of gaming per day. Well, how about the rest of the 24 hours? Ok sadly to say, it is being spent at CICFAR (my fyp lab) For the record, for every 2 hours spent in cicfar, there is maybe about 20mins of productive work. The rest of the time is spent waiting for equipment, kpohing, surfing the net and well... failing experiments. Maybe thats why everybody in cicfar is so helpful. Not sure about something? Someone is there to help u. Why???? Ohhhhh maybe because there is nothing else to do anyway.......

So go figure....

Some morbid thoughts....

There seemed to be many ways to get killed in cicfar.

1. Vaccuum chamber implosion
2. Kena burned by HF acid... (very deadly, someone died of this some years ago)
3. Fluorine or chlorine gas leak....
4. Furnace exploding due to overpressure...
5. Hydrogen gas accidentally mixing with oxygen gas.... boom!!!
6. You giving a karate kick to the thermal evaporator and Mrs Ho sees you.. (ok jus kidding)

What happens if santa gets stuck up you chimney

Merry christmas dudes!

Electric Science with a twist of humour

Have you ever felt that sometimes, many thoughts and feelings are unable to accurately put in words or sentences? They are just left constantly swimming at the back of your head, occasionally coming forth to consume you... Don't it sometimes feel worst when you are alone?

I will look forward and walk ahead as i know that many a time, there's no turning back...
