What's "high quality polyisoprene"?
Friends asked why I've not updated my blog for long.. cos I'm busy with my school work! Who says exchange students are slack.. hehe maybe cos I'm a responsible exchange student so that's why! I'm definitely not mugging my time away, cos there's nothing to mug here, since there are no tutorials to do! But I've got projects for all my modules and especially for 2 of my project modules: Design Project and Risk assessment in Chemical and Biochemical industry, I've got to hand in weekly parts of the final project! And this weekly deadlines are seriously sucking up all my free time and recently we started meeting over the wkends jus to meet the project deadlines!
There's more worry when we, SG gang go London for a week, 2 weeks from now... I've got a major deadline to meet in the middle of my holidaying! And its the bulk of the Design Project that I'm doing with another girl. It's a pair work, so I guess it will really be hard on her when I leave for London. Emel's really a nice girl and she insisted its fine that I won't be around then. I would have actually felt better if she scolds me or something.. I seriously hope that I'll be able to help do most of the project before I go, but I guess its impossible because I'm not so zai!!! Back in NUS, I'll used to rely on more zai pple for hints or guidances before I complete any assignments or projects, but here, I've started to become more independent le... hmm wonder if its a good or bad thing.. haha
Ok for something lighter...
"High quality polyisoprene" took me 15 minutes to figure that out. Guess cheewei realised what it was the moment the lecturer used "high quality polyisoprene" for the experiments for our Materials Science lecture today... But I only realised much much later...
and we learnt about the scientfic properties of "High quality polyisoprene" and tips on what not to do with "high quality polyisoprene" in order for it to not to fail in its important duty that will most probably cost a life (or lives):
1. Not to use it with oil-based lubricants like baby oil else it will leak
2. Not to heat it (or else it will contract)
3. Not to cool it to sub zero temperatures like submerging in liquid Nitrogen, else it will snap and lose its elasticity
Haha have u guessed what it is? Leave it for you guys to figure it out...
Back to reading notes and preparing for my projects.. *bleah*
But one more day to our Stockholm-Kiruna trip! :) Gonna see snow once again!
Add colours to your life!!
