I am proud

 


As shown from my StatCounter


The Greatest Show on Earth

I had been struck with a bout of fever (not sure if it is caused by the influenza flu virus) for about a week and the past five days were terrible time to endure (the last time I did encounter this situation is when my body is ravaged by the chicken pox virus). Truly, such a tiny living organisms can really create great impact on the multiple cellular organisation of cells with extreme coordination for the beginning part of the attack. Nevertheless, the survival of these two types of cells ensure that one will triumph probably because they had evolved in years to be able to produce chemicals we called antibodies to protect themselves. Such is the unique interesting nature of things.
As I was totally sort of out of this world at these times, the modern technology allows me the pleasure to use the luxury of free time to search for many interesting things in the internet. One that I stumble upon (not quite by accident) in these series of videos in YouTube by Richard Dawkins. I was actually worried that I had yet not finished the part of Evolution with the Form 6 students. The videos are great source of knowledge (no matter whether you are religious or not) for Richard Dawkins had put his commitment in explaining phenomena of biology based on evolution by natural selection as prostulated by Darwin.
I am fascinated by his commitment for science like most great scientists (Einstein, Feynman, Sagan - notably most of them were physicists) and here Dawkins is a biologist. I ended up buy his latest book the Greatest Show on Earth: Evidence for Evolution

Great Flood of 2012?

Half of the car park in water
Will there be flood this year? It has been 7 years since the last major flood that hits Jit Sin. With PMR at the corner, bets are that this will be the year as every Principal will faced this major challenges in their term of office. With the money from the Charity Bike Ride, maybe something can be done to the flooding of Jit Sin.

JitSin Going Green

After the PMRide, all motorized vehicles will not be allowed in Jit Sin. Jit Sin going green with all teachers will have to cycle to school..
 




Bicycle ride practice session with some able to ride while others just walk the bike
Just dreamed on... la

Ride on

Yesterday a total of 600 students and teachers were at Straits Quay to cycle with the Prime Minister ... not for the exercise but for a good deed of collecting money for the school. A noble sacrifice (for those oldies Jitsins) 1million RM is really worth it. Noble deeds are sure to be rewarded as the students will each be given a bicycle.
Which one is yours? That one la.. with two wheels.


Wow, count again the zeros

Extracting the Basil smell

Extracting the basil essential oils
R&C project for 2011/12
Aim: To extract the basil essential oils
Purpose: To use these oils as housefly repellent

Having problem with the extraction, but looks like there are some hope today as the smell can be detected in two of the five solvents that had been used.
Thanks to Zi Yang for his helpful suggestion.

In the Moon

Lanterns hanging in the air,
Candle burning bright,
ExaMachs now in despair,
yet to get all answers right,
Oh! my, sure will die,
Why, why must we try,
Just to satisfy our pride,
Better just go and cry.
