passion

now, dancing has always been my passion. last two years, i used to perform a traditional dance for every event in petaling jaya. getting money wasnt really a problem. even thought it was like RM50 per show, at least it was still something. its a start, no? hehe. so, finally i had another feel of a traditional dance performance, once more. it was last saturday. practiced a day before the actual event. it was for my ex school's international understanding day. getting up on that stage, made me feel, happy.. its like, now a days, people tend to not find traditional dances as interesting as the mordern dances. its culture people! & whatever it is, its still our duty to not let our culture fade away. but i was happy that most of the audience were happy with our performance. i think, me and my team did quite a good job, showing people how 'interesting' traditional dances can be (':

here are some photos of last saturday (;

 The before look

The after look

haha. yes yes. i know. whats up with the pose? me and purani here, as you all can see, we ARE posers. she's my junior by the way. nice and very ganas. haha. dont you dare mess with her. she BITES :p hehe. oh well.. back to the dancing thing, i really hope i can find people who are intrested in traditional dances in taylors. its a BIG opportunity to learn something new for a change, no? so, why not right? we, as the future generations of malaysia, must somehow help sustain the importance of traditional dances. woohhoooo

Yu-Na Kim

it was a saturday morning, during breakfast. my dad switched the channel to discovery channel & thats when i first saw her. the famous figure skater Kim Yu-Na. she's starting to be my role model. i admire her work & the fact that she's no quitter. eventhough she had intentions to quit figure skating, she didnt. i can bet she fell more than 1000 times, & yet, she's still standing, till today. i mean, come on, ice skating ait something that comes to you easy. so, she started ice skating when she was 7. despite coming from a not so wealthy family,  her mom actually sacrificed & worked really hard for her to achieve her career. and to think that professional coaches and skates are EXTREMELY expensive. can you imagine how much her mom sacrificed for her? for a second there, i felt really really lucky, having parents who can actually afford to send me to college. moving on, i just really admire her hard work. shes now a heroin in korean history, making the country proud of her. there's this one time, she suffered a back injury 3days before the BIG competition which was going to be held in Russia. with the bad condition shes suffering, she went on to Russia for the country & won a gold medal. She went to Russia as an ice skater, & returned as a star.

when you watch her skate, she seems to be as if shes very comfortable. the way she expresses herself, one word, incredible. check out one of her video performances by clicking here.

A dynamic ferrofluid sculpture

now, i know what you might ask. whats ferrofluid? Ferrofluids are basically a composed of nanoscale particles of a diameter usually less than 10 nanometers of magnetite, hematite or other compounds containing iron. Its tiny iron particles covered with a liquid coating is enough for thermal agitation to disperse them evenly within a carrier fluid, and for them to contribute to the overall magnetic response of the fluid. 

Ferrofluids are also known as materials with properties of more than one state of matter, which are usually solid metal and liquid.A typical ferrofluid may contain by volume 5% magnetic solid, 10%surfactant and 85% carrier.

True ferrofluids are stable, which means that the solid particles do not agglomerate or phase separate even in extremely strong magnetic fields. However, the surfactant tends to break down over time (a few years), and eventually the nano-particles will agglomerate, and they will separate out and no longer contribute to the fluid's magnetic response. Ferrofluids will eventually lose their magnetic properties at sufficiently high temperatures, known as the curie temperature.

The Creator

Its amazing to just lay your head down on the green green grass, surrounded by green sceneries,especially at night. Ever wonder the colour of the final mix of the universe if the entire sky were smeared out? There my friend, it's a masterpiece. Breath taking, ain't it? Thanks to Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry, they determined that their survey of the color of all light in the universe added up to a slightly beigeish white.They call her "cosmic latte"...(of human skin tones and the actual colour of the universe, oh the irony!) Look at the cluster of stars, dominated by bright gold stars, can be seen with the naked eye in a dark sky in the tail of the constellation of the Scorpion. Take a brief look at those dark dust clouds and literally millions of unrelated stars towards the Galactic center. where do they head to? Surrounding the stars is a spectacular reflection nebula made of fine dust.
