Yep, 11 days to the A Levels. So everyone, lets all do it man!
Anyway, today I found 2 very interesting things.
One, when I was studying organic chemistry (non-chem students please dun turn off just yet), I came across what actually was meant by trans-fat. Or maybe I very suah gu, only find out now. But anyway, here it goes. Fats, oils...they belong to the same group under chemistry, which is either alkanes or alkenes. Just that fats are the solid form of oil. Yah, so actually, trans-fat is a type of alkene. And why the name trans-fat? Chem students should know this...or else go mug it! Haha, cause there exists geometric isomers known as cis-trans isomers. And fats? Well, because it is in solid form. Hence the name. As to why is it harmful, you all know it increases the "bad" cholesterol or LDL very quickly, so do avoid eating too much of trans-fat.
Quite a surprise isn't it? Since it is unsaturated fat...
Ok 2nd thing. Maybe I will forward this link to you all through mail. Double A (the paper brand with the photo-copying machine turning into a robot) has come up with this game. Absolutely FOC. Just go register your name. And play it. Basically just feeding 3 photo-copiers with Double A paper la. If you fail to do so, it will turn into a robot. Time limit increases as more of your friends accept your invitation to play. Top prize is $3000 cash! Top 10 win only la...so in case you want to destress, feel free to visit the website. Haha, quite funny I feel. Deadline is 30th Nov, so you got plenty of time to beat the all time high score!
Yah, thats about it for today. Chem students if you haven't noticed, I placed an exta link for chem in the "the" section. Its useful, so do try it out.
Someone recommended that the phrase below sounds suitable also, so I shall quote it...sorry...I am really that "Matrix Crazy"
"I stand here before you now because I remember. I remember that I am here not because of the path that lies before me, but because of the path that lies BEHIND me. I remember for 100 years, WE have fought these machines. I remember for 100 years, they have sent their armies to destroy us. And after a century of war, I remember what which matters most.......WE ARE STILL HERE!"From Matrix Reloaded (again...haha) (Morpheus addressing the ppl)
And it duly applies to us also as a class. Jia You everyone!!! We work as one! :)
