Weekends always pass by so fast....

If only we work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Then we'll be off on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Why not off on Friday or Monday you will ask.... Well, a mid-week break is good, doesn't it? Whatever the case, it will not be happening.... Not now, not the near future.

I went Singapore Science Centre yesterday... Been a decade since I went? Can't remember... only remember that I used to go there for school excursions. Can't even really remember how it looks like then....

But now! It has changed so much, kind of like a maze now. Divided into various categories and all linked up....

Anyway, it's FOC, that's why I'm there. Hahaha... I'm a typical 'cheapo' human.

That's Brian at one of the interesting exhibits. Head on a platter.... wahahah..... why huh?? do you know how this is possible????

Now, it's me at one of the exhibit at the "aviation" corner... but it's a run-down helicopter. Think Science Centre should 'update' some of it's exhibits...

There was a demo on "Tesla Coil" and we had a look.... For those wondering what that it, here is a little portion describing.... Full details, please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_coil. (My favourite encyclopedia)

A Tesla coil is a category of disruptive discharge transformer coils, named after their inventor, Nikola Tesla. Tesla coils are composed of coupled resonant electric circuits. Nikola Tesla actually experimented with a large variety of coils and configurations, so it is difficult to describe a specific mode of construction that will meet the wants of those who ask about "Tesla" coils. "Early coils" and "later coils" vary in configuration and setup. Tesla coils in general are very popular devices among high-voltage enthusiasts.

A little "explosion" demo.....

Overall, quite an interesting little 'trip'. Seriously, I have forgotten almost everything about what was taught in school about science. Biology, chemistry, physics.... I can't imagine that I have actually studied those stuff in those days... they all seem so foreign to me now.

Something "sad" about this....

Can you spot the mistake?

OMG, I was complaining to Brian... embarassing spelling mistake? and it seems to have been there for some time... i wonder if anyone did complain. And i was thinking whether i should write to them about this.

I think i enjoyed this the most.... wahahhahaha....
