Hi hi, haven't had much time to update cause exams are drawing near. Actually just prelims but somehow this year it's too quick. Syllabus is not done yet and there's much to do.
Went to USS with the cousins and no I didn't take the battlestar ride - I don't expect to enjoy it at all haha. So anyway in the evening there was a rainbow and the castle was a perfect foreground for that!
Still quite interested in the Transformers ride cause there's this thing about how we perceive motion using visual reference frames and how we can only feel acceleration but not constant motion - so the ride was a very skillful application of this - the apparent motion was very very real, though the vehicle didn't move much actually. No time now to fully find out what this is all about, it's just fragments of what I've learnt before. Perhaps after prelims.
Forty two degrees - brilliant physics authored by the brilliant God
CNY this year was good - not too busy (only two visitations) but still fun with all the cousins.

Found this article in a science magazine, found it funny:
"Bubble wrap provides several different sensory rewards. First the bubbles are soft and smooth, which encourages your hand to stroke or explore the surface. Each bubble is also slightly yielding and just squeezing one gently between your fingers is quite sensual. Add a little extra pressure and the bubble pops. The noise is disproportionately loud compared with bursting other things of similar size found in nature, such as seedpods, and there are no negative consequences. There is no goo or smell or mess, just a loud pop and a squashed bubble. This encourages us to try again and the fact that the bubble stays squashed provides a small sense of achievement."

Deepening our relationship through seasons
The various seasons of our life help us to develop different aspects of our walk with God. There are just some things we cannot learn without a change of things (environment), like how it is difficult to learn about God's provision when we're in abundance (because firstly we don't have the need to ask, secondly we don't directly attribute the answered prayer to God).
So don't waste the seasons of your life by hoping for a 'better one', but learn through all seasons.

And we can have a Doomsday party before our Christmas party this year!
