Hp803: ARe you ok?
Notice i Never blog anything regarding my course modules.. All these while I've only blog about my electives of literature, psychology etc.
This is for the simple reason that I dont think my fans are interested how change in U is equal to Q plus W or when it is reversible adiabatic, enthalpy equal to zero. I guess you get the picture..

Well, Lab can be interesting you know.
AFter sunday's kayaking expedition, we had lab session to start of the week. Fuel combustion was the experiment.
Using the Fireboy (a burner), to combust propane and to collect whatever left over in the air using an injection and sent for analysis.

It was then the intructor came to me and asked me,"Are you ok?"
I looked at her
"Yah....?"nodding my head, pulling out the injection from the analyiser.
"no.. i mean are you ok, physically,"She made a weak attempt to rephrase.
"ERm...,"I replied thinking through a second, looking at my other friends,"yes i'm ok.."
"you ok or not? how come your face so red,"she said at last, in a very concerned tone, refering to my sunburned face which i had after a day of kayaking at sea,"you got burn by the burner issit?"

My friends beside laught as they knew where I went the day before.

"oh! ok lah. Just now i stood too close to the flame,"I played along with the instructor,"Very hot but still alright."

At this stage, everyone was laughing to the extent the instructor herself knew her concern was uncalled for. She started laughing as well.

Today while waiting for the shuttle bus to come, we heard a loud crashing sound at the carpark across the 2 lane road. Looking up, we saw a black car which had collided onto a parked car while it was doing its reversing. The driver immidately drove off and he mounted the kerb as he was getting away hurriedly.

We immediately rmbed the car plate number. While i tried to use my phone to take the scene but only had time to pretend that i was taking video of him.
Not knowing the extent of the damaged caused, i ran across the street to have a look.
"oh my!," I thought, as the entire front of the car was gone

"I'm writing a note to the car owner,"i told my group as i was walked back.
Mag remembered the carplate vividly and recited it out...
Weijie cried out the car model
Sinyee was like"Har? what happened...."
Joel.....


"Black car S__ XXXX _ was spotted colliding onto your car while doing reverse
Alfred
XXXXXXX"
I scribbled quickly, fearing the shuttle bus will come any moment. And ran to the car and placed the note on the windscreen.
"Lets hope the owner make a police report and that irresponsible driver will get caught!" I told sinyee and joked" Sekali the owner is our lecturer and will reward us by given high grades!"

With that i spent the rest of the day waiting for the owner to contact me.

I was contacted. Nonetheless, it was the driver who did so.
Apparently, after 4 hrs, he came back to the scene of crime and found my note for the owner.
"Don't worry,"he said, twisting he tone around, evidently he is an indian,"I came back and wrote a note to the owner to admit my wrong...... ."

I froze.

It is was other time, i might think even clearly. I was having thermodynamics lecture, hence another mode of thinking.
I trusted him and put down the phone.
