Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest
Captain Jack Sparrow is caught up in another tangled web of supernatural intrigue. Although the curse of the Black Pearl has been lifted, an even more terrifying threat looms over its captain and scurvy crew: it turns out that Jack owes a blood debt to the legendary Davy Jones, Ruler of the Ocean Depths, who captains the ghostly Flying Dutchman, which no other ship can match in speed and stealth. Unless the ever-crafty Jack figures a cunning way out of this Faustian pact, he will be cursed to an afterlife of eternal servitude and damnation in the service of Jones. This startling development interrupts the wedding plans of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who once again find themselves thrust into Jack's misadventures, leading to escalating confrontations with sea monsters, very unfriendly islanders, flamboyant soothsayer Tia Dalma and even the mysterious appearance of Will's long-lost father, Bootstrap Bill. Meanwhile, ruthless pirate hunter Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company sets his sights on retrieving the fabled "Dead Man's Chest." According to legend, whoever possesses the Dead Man's Chest gains control of Davy Jones, and Beckett intends to use this awesome power to destroy every last Pirate of the Caribbean once and for all. For times are changing on the high seas, with businessmen and bureaucrats becoming the true pirates--and freewheeling, fun-loving buccaneers like Jack and his crew threatened with extinction.

15th July--> Jusco again
Ok, while waiting for food to be served, the b'day boy's family came and so the number of people added to 17 - James, Melvin, Benjamin, Angeline and Un. William. So i ordered a bowl of mee bandung and it tasted soury but delicious with yam milk as my main drink.
After dinner, we wanted to watch the Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest in the beginning. However we faced a main problem, which is the seats are completely sold out, all of them, how amazing that movie is!!! So, we changed plan and went bowling instead albeit some aren't satisfied for not being able to watch the movie. Aiks, what to do??? The whole cineplex is fully booked, how unlucky we are.
Well, some of us went to play snooker, some went Time Crisis(a shooting game), and some went bowling. After that we called it a day and you can guess what i did right after that.
Of course it's the typing of the event in my blog!!!
In conclusion:
1. dinner -- half accomplished
2. movie -- failed for specific reasons
3. extra activities -- mission accomplished

Crysocopic and Ebullioscopic
ΔTfus,A = (nB/mA)T*fus,A(RT*fus,A/Δ1sh*A) = (nB/mA)kfus,A,
where R denotes the gas constant (R = 8.314 51 J·K−1· mol−1), Δ1sh*A denotes the massic (formerly ‘specific’) enthalpy of fusion of the pure (*) solvent A, and kfus,A is called the cryoscopic constant of A, and where it has been assumed that the solution is ideal-dilute and that the solid phase is that of the pure solvent.
Similarly, the corresponding elevation ΔTvap,A = |Tvap,A − T*vap,A| of the boiling temperature at a given pressure is given by the formula:
ΔTvap,A = (nB/mA)T*vap,A(RT*vap,A/Δ1gh*A) = (nB/mA)kvap,A,
where Δ1gh*A is now the massic enthalpy of evaporation of the pure solvent A and kvap,A is called the ebullioscopic constant of A, and where it has been assumed that the solution is ideal-dilute and that the solute B is involatile.

8th July ---> Jusco Seremban
As their b'day are around the corner, we(actually Jess) decided to treat us at Pizza Hut as their b'day are at weekdays and we hardly meet each other so it is better to have a "b'day-in-advance-party" on a calm-weathered??!! Saturday....
So, here's a summary of activities done during the 5 hours gathering:-
1. Gathered near Starbucks
2. Dinner at Pizza Hut
3. While waiting food to be served, my ladyship(Jaslene) and my lord(Cheok) went to buy movie tickets(Re-Cycle)
4. Arrival of the pro footballers - Gabe, Quek and Sheng Ji
5. Start diggin' -in
6. Watched movie
7. Bid adieu!!
Paraphrase:-
In the beginning, we met near Starbucks Coffee shop where mr. XL kept miss calling me and allowing me to answer his calls evrytime he phoned..... Then we went walking here and there like souless ppl, looking for something to do or i mean we were loitering around... Neh, that's not da main point..... So we continued walking.... Haha...... Mr. XL running now and then like a child never been to a grand shopping complex with 2 storeys but 3 quarters smaller than Midvalley.... Oops, am i still ok?? I've gone out of the line.... Back to the walk, we walked and walked desperately looking for a perfect restaurant to accomodate a huge bunch of classmates/colleagues juz like gangsters(黑社会).... But our theme is still 'study non violence'(以和为贵)...
After that, after ordering some this and that, Jess and Cheok went to buy the movie tickets(鬼域, Re-Cycle).... Moreover, Yin Chien and gang went to buy cake at the Secret Recipe(i think).... On the other hand, Yaw Choong, Adrian and I were chatting bout our personal working experience with some extra infromation from Adrian saying that he once dragged his car till 200Km/H.... Amazing!!!!
Not long after, evry1 arrived, food was served, so lets chew and bite and slash them into bits...........
After dinner we went for the Re-Cycle....... It wasn't scary as i imagined coz of a personal joker(Adrian), kept adding some stupid jokes, making the whole movie funny in the end..... So the movie ended with laughter.....
11.00 p.m., I left the scenario and things after that may be continued in Gabe's blog
In conclusion
1. Dinner treat(^o^) Accomplished
2. Snooker("q") Failed
3. Movie(^o^) Passed with distinction
Names of ppl attended are perfectly illustrated and written.... Hehe

Curiosity
From the beginning I've liked what's going on over at Make magazine. I love their video podcast and all the crazy projects they put on display. What they show are regular people, just like you and me, doing stuff, making things, being creative. I was just reading an article titled, Life is Not a Spectator Sport by Darla Isackson in which she makes a very interesting point:
Today’s children are following the example of many adults to become watchers instead of doers, consumers instead of creators, observers instead of active participants. ... Instead of singing, they watch others sing. Instead of making up stories, they watch or listen to stories someone else made up. Instead of figuring out how to do something and developing a new skill they watch someone else perform.This is so true! There are many reasons for this, but one that stands out to me is the very focus on math and science, these left-brain, less active, and somewhat less creative activities. What's funny to me, is that while the whole schooling infrastructure is supposed to produce excellent employees, what the post industrial revolution market needs is "makers", people who creatively produce.
Paul Graham recently published an essay about the The Power of the Marginal. Near the end he makes this summary comment:
If I had to condense the power of the marginal into one sentence it would be: just try hacking something together. That phrase draws in most threads I've mentioned here. Hacking something together means deciding what to do as you're doing it, not a subordinate executing the vision of his boss. It implies the result won't be pretty, because it will be made quickly out of inadequate materials. It may work, but it won't be the sort of thing the eminent would want to put their name on. Something hacked together means something that barely solves the problem, or maybe doesn't solve the problem at all, but another you discovered en route. But that's ok, because the main value [of] that initial version is not the thing itself, but what it leads to. Insiders who daren't walk through the mud in their nice clothes will never make it to the solid ground on the other side.So what should you do? Don't just watch, do something! Don't be afraid to try. Fear kills creativity. Just do something, anything and you'll be surprised how much you'll learn and how well it will go. It's the doing that matters.
The word "try" is an especially valuable component. I disagree here with Yoda, who said there is no try. There is try. It implies there's no punishment if you fail. You're driven by curiosity instead of duty. Which means the wind of procrastination will be in your favor: instead of avoiding this work, this will be what you do as a way of avoiding other work. And when you do it, you'll be in a better mood. The more the work depends on imagination, the more that matters, because most people have more ideas when they're happy.
If I could go back and redo my twenties, that would be one thing I'd do more of: just try hacking things together. Like many people that age, I spent a lot of time worrying about what I should do. I also spent some time trying to build stuff. I should have spent less time worrying and more time building. If you're not sure what to do, make something.
Choir practice
The wanna-be President kept wanting us to sing darn boring Malay songs like "Ku Imhamku" and she just likes 4 beats!!! And the "Flying Without Wings" she too made it dull and boring.....
Spoiled the whole Westlife image!!!
So how's the practice???
Haiz, we juz keep singing, singing and singing despite the distraction from 5 ppl playing the organs(Colour of the Wind)...........
And yeah, Gabriel the man knew how to save the situation....
Giving continual High-5, making 'special' performance, etc....
Quek, Garlic, Gabe and I made a great team of High-5.....
High-5 here, High-5 there!! Yeah, clasps for the 5!!!
SO
In conclusion
Choir practice -----> failed at the end
Miss Phua -----> Did her piano practice while we sang
Gabriel -----> Entertainment leader xD
Quek, Garlic and I -> Cheer supporter!!! :p

Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince
Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts begins, and it feels like a reassuring place to return to after the strange events of the summer. Disappearances, murder and an ominous chilling mist which swirls through both the Muggle and wizarding worlds are harbingers of more sinister purpose. Voldemort's army is swelling and with it the Death Eaters are growing bloder and more deadly. Suspicious are rife, and allegiances questioned as even the safest havens cease to feel secure from the Dark wizards. As the storm gathers strength, harry must face the terrifying truth of his destiny.
Hey, this is a little summary of Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.... Hope u enjoy!!!
