SP visit

Hey...blogging for the fouth day in a row now, it is rare that i have such determination...haha...anyone noticed the timing of my posts? all is just a little before 12 except the first one. Lets see if i can make it a habit till the end of the holidays.
Had maths lessons today but left halfway (without handing in my homework that i didn't do)
for the visit for SP for the physic workshop(?). It was supposed to be about solar power but turned out to be more about LEDs(something like like lightbulbs) instead. Listened to a "short" talk that lasted about 1 hr and watched a propaganda video that was trying to make us go to SP...-_- then we got to do a little bit of hands on.
We were supposed to choose 2 LEDs of the colours we like but i couldn't firgure out how to use the bread board which was supposed to be used to see the colour of the LEDs so i ramdomly picked 2 and both turned out to be red...had to do a bit of soldering to join the two LEDs together and also a resistor. didn't start off too well but i managed to get the hang of it in the end. reason that it didn't start off too well was that it was supposed to be pairwork but as there was an odd number of boys and girls, i ended up doing on my own and jiayong and kobe paired up(those two *******)
didn't turn out too bad though and then we were asked to do something a little more complicated that maded the LEDs light up one by one and run in a circle and the speed can be controlled by a varible resistor. there wasn't enough equitment so i teamed up with simin. i just started soldering then mr tan the teacher who was with us saw me and decided that i needed a hand. he took over and after more ten minutes, he gave up and me and simin managed to do it withen 2 minutes...during that time a woman came in with 3 kids who was like at most in primary school. i thought it was some extremely kiasu parent but it turns out she was a foreigner who couldn't speak english very well. i coudn't understand much of what she said when she spoke to me but she seemed to get along well with simin and they chatted for a long time. turns out she is a korean. not a very fun visit...most ppl dun think it was much fun...
