my i'm blogging a lot these two days

today my father left for china for the dunno-what(h)-time. but this is the first time which i actually hugged him to say goodbye, cos i left home at 9 to go to the science centre and he would be leaving at 10. dunno why. just had this instinct to hug my father. we have nvr been close. since i was 3 i nvr touched him again. so its been like 13 years which i didn contact(physically and mentally) my father at all. felt real nice after i hugged my father.=)

science centre was in a state of mess. it was like, there was this huge sign that said, "this way to science centre main entrance" and in front of u is a huge mess of rubble, wooden boards and very dusty air. lots of construction going on. so the 4 of us, the snail, the emu, the penguin and of course me the rabbit stepped gingerly across the open-air carpark, and navigated our way to the main entrance, which was pretty invisible, hidden behind all that dusty air polluting the grounds of science centre (okay okay i'm exerggerating! can feel the mr-i-want-to-strangle-u glare from penguin, fellow high-er, hot lover of singapore, every crook and cranny of it, future minister of environment, future pioneer of some conservatory of energy for singapore=); the "errrrrrrrrr" look from emu, fellow slacker and shoulder partner, future miss practical 2008=); last but not least, the shock look from snail who, as usual, a bit blur in such situations, but nevertheless fellow lamer and my secret date on may occasions)

had a lot of fun in science centre before the talk. read/watched some sad videos on downs syndrome, breast cancer and muscular dystrophy...felt reallie sad for these people. =(
sometimes life just isnt very fair...

then we had the talk. forgive me but i got kinda lost in the talk. at first the lecturer went page by page...then suddenly, i dunno maybe due to time constraints or smth, he started skipping pages! so he would like, "okay i shall skip these" then his fast fingers go "clickclickclickclickclickclickclick...." then u can hear very loud paper shuffling sounds as the entire hall starts flipping the notes frantically, trying to catch up... i left the lecture theatre feeling confused, lost and very gong. and very hungry!

then here is the interesting part. emu and penguin had to call their mum to see if they needed to be home for lunch. so snail and i occupied ourselves in the sound exhibition...very fun. click and hear the sounds in diff places. we went out after a while to see what is the poons' decision. we got a shock cos they disappeared! like, poof? we went around looking for them, but they were nowhere to be found...xiao1 shi1 de2 wu2 ying3 wu2 zong1!! snail was calling them...but no response.

where were u two?!?!

so in the end we gave up, and we started walking ard by ourselves. we were on an unexpected secret date again! =D

we came to the chem gallery, after walking around numerous exhibitions. apparently i think it was still under construction, cos it was pretty small, and some exhibits were banned from visitors. most exhibits were very cool. there was this fractional distillation column distillating water from ethanol/alcohol. very interesting, huge fractionating column, but there wasnt much action going on there. so we left after stoning for like 5 seconds. then there's the exhibit which we got so engrossed with...the "freeze shadow" one. its the reaction between zinc sulphide and light which gives u the frozen shadow, cos that's the part where u cover. zinc sulphide is a phosphorescent, otherwise known as glow-in-the-dark material. so while the part covered had a frozen shadow, the rest of the screen had a nice green glow. haha very fun!! snail and i spent like 5 minutes posing away in front of the light and watch our shadow freeze. the light's very blinding though. advisable to close ur eyes. =)

the other thing we fell in love with was the ecogarden. the chicks were so cute! there were 4 of them, and a number of unhatched ones. the 4 were prancing abt, drinking and sleeping, lazing around in the incubator. snail and i were discussing what would happen to the chicks after they hatched. we finally decided that they would probably end up in seng choon egg farm or smth, laying eggs for the community.

there was also this TV thingy, which u can like see urself on screen. it was so exciting! snail and i were turning the camera, seeing ourselves on screen and laughing away. then i typed "lee huijun is a snail" into my phone and put it chao near to the camera. then the entire world at science centre could see! haha snail was frantically trying to cover all the tv screens to hide the truth. heh heh heh. okay i noe i'm mean!!=P

SCIENCE CENTRE IS FUN. WE LOVE SCIENCE CENTRE!=))
k that was a LAME ending...
