Yay! The long awaited holiday has finally arrived. Time to get some decent rest, connect back to the world and enjoy the world cup vibe. (⌒0⌒)/~~
So what am I up to this during this 1st half of the year? hmm, probably the same as last year's simple routine - study all day long. hmm...so nothing much to write in this blog really..lol
University started earlier this year due to the world cup that will take place tomorrow (Yay!). In this semester, we continued with 2nd year engineering mathematics in which we deal with lots of surface integrations which most of us find more interesting than last year's topics.
In chemistry, we studied physical chemistry & spectroscopy. My favourite section is on spectroscopy where we learned the methods to identify an unknown substance using UV, MRI, etc. - similar to techniques used in CSI - a section I didn't fell asleep in :P On monday afternoons, we have long lab experiments (；´Д`) and a lab report due in a week after. For this 1st semester, I've learnt to do research and write reports more efficiently. I'm really bad at writing...＿l￣l○
My next course is called Material and Energy Balances. This course is very important since it is the most fundamental tool we need to use. Although it is "fundamental", it wasn't easy at all. I think I put the most effort into this course and I'm sure it is a good investment! (＾ー＾)/
The other 2 courses consist of a design and a lab course. No doubt these 2 courses will be my lowest marks, but I've learnt the most out of these 2. Again, my writing skills have improved!
We did a very interesting project this semester about Eskom (SA's electricity supplier) new power plant in Medupi. We were to investigate the feasibility of installing a FGD (Flue Gas Desulfurization) system into their power plant. At this moment, this coal power plant's SO2 emission does not meet both national and international legislation standards so Eskom plans to install FGD. This was the first time we dealt with a real life problem (even though we made ridiculous assumptions along the way), this project clearly identified my weakness in writing. I need to do some reading this holiday. (・_・;)
During our mid-semester break, a bunch of us went for a hike up Table Mountain via skeleton gorge. The whole hike took us 8 hrs! I was totally worn out afterwards but it was a good exercise nonetheless. Now we are just left with Lion's Head to conquer to complete the Three Peaks of Cape Town.
The International Bunch : Jiten (India), Winston (Hong Kong), David (Germany), Terry (Taiwan), Murray (Germany), Joel (Congo), Leon (Singapore) *Cam-boy*
Climbing up Skeleton Gorge...
Water Break!
Resting in cave
David was hyperactive that day...
You'll never believe there's a beach on top of the mountain...
It's really cold and windy...
Do I see a sea on a mountain?
Murray swam in it last time he was here..lol..
Joel, you're getting old..
The mighty bunch
I stopped in despair when I saw this! I really thought I was up there already!
Climb climb climb...
Strange rock arrangements...I think it look like a dog? They don't agree with me...
It does look like a dog..c'mon...
Finally, that's Maclear's Beacon! Woohoo, the highest point in Cape Town!
It is a custom to place a stone on the beacon when one gets there, so David and I placed a huge one. :P
Cheese~ at the highest point.
We took a long, flat route back to our cars.
Crossing a dam..
Last photo of our hike.
This is the school rules of my primary school in Jurong. I found it behind a notebook and I found the 1st rule ridiculously funny! "Be loyal to your school"? lol...
A few weeks ago when I cracked an egg....what's going on? ( ﾟдﾟ)WORLD CUP TOMORROW! WOOHOO! I'm going to lose my voice soon..GOAL~~~
