Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

Static Electricity

Well, today afternoon my Physics teacher, Mrs Loi instructed us to proceed to the photonics lab to do some interesting experiments with a static-electricity charged doom which makes your hair stand all over your body. *That’s fun!

Before crapping on how we sabotaged our class chairman Jonathan Kee to be the first homosapien to try out the freaking thing, Mrs Loi showed us how static electricity can affect a bunch of artificial hair.

 
Artifical hair on the dome which is not charged (left) and charged (right).

Then she started her lecture about electrostatics and other boring stuff. frankly speaking I am so excited about Physics today is just to see some scapegoat being asked to touch that dome.


Mrs Loi briefing us what to do and how not to do when touching that dome. Or else, who knows that I’ll get electrocuted?

Jonathan Kee was asked to touch that thing but I recorded it as a video (so there are no pictures). So I took some pictures of the second huy bring sabotaged by us – Terence.

 
It’s Terence’s turn now. Look, his hairs are standing!

We asked Mrs Loi to touch that thing but she insisted not. But then after she dismissed us she hopped on the chair and started to enjoy the ultimate sensation (am I suing the correct word? Maybe I’m too sadist) of static electricy being passed around your body.


Finally took a snapshot of her touching the dome!

Today is fun, especially for Physics lesson! Did you have some sort of wierd experiments in school? Don’t keep the comments to yourself – shout them out =)

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching Lady Gaga - Bad Romance. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
