Vacation
The recess week is finally here! The one week break, that we NTU students get, often referred to as VACATION week by the various lecturers. However, the "vacation"pretty much stops there... With 3 tests on the week after the break, it's really a total bummer.
I've roughly planned my week already, filled with mainly mugging, working out, running certain errands and mugging and mugging and even more mugging and muggi...... I will do my best to keep to the planned schedule. And if that happens, I hope I strike the lottery too. haha.
I was mugging today and guess what GeEkY info I found out while reading my physics text. Haha... I hope this does not tarnish my ultra uber cool image and inadvertly affect my daily billion webbie hits. hahah....
There I was flipping through the front of my helluva thick text book and chanced upon some super nerd definitions. Haha..
When I was in primary school, METRE has always been associated with just the metre rule that the teacher uses to draw on the blackboard and my waistline ofcourse. haha. yes yes. I was the Fat kid.
As i got older, it was associated with distance, centimetres, metres. A term to define a measurement of something. And in some boastful and childish secondary school competitive occasions the size of an important male appendix. Haha.
Anyway, only NOW, in varsity did I find out the true meaning of a metre and it's not some easy shit as well... Haha..
Welll... in October1983, A metre was defined as the distance travelled by light in vacuum during a time of 1/299 792 458 second. Some funky shit ya? haha... Even before I was born!!! I did not even know they had calculators that had decimal points that far, let alone a stopwatch to measure time.. haha.. Wah kaos.. why not make it 1/2 second or even 1 second la... then we can even do away with kilometres as units... Haha... I hope i dont come across sounding like a nerd talking about this. haha.. Picture a CK model with a chilseled jaw, deep brown burning eyes, ripped abs and bulging.......biceps of course! whatelse! The resemblance is uncanny. Haha.
Anyway, after that piece of geeky info, I know you're just aching for more aren't you? Now you want to know what's defines second huh? I can tell, I've got this connection with my readers. And with 1 billion of you lovely readers, it's like there's a connection between us. Like a superconductor, like water and electricity. WAhaha.. what a lame ass nerdy analogy..
Ok.. A second is just, (I'm telling this just off the top of my head, obviously....... NOT), defined as 9 192 631 770 times the period of vibration of radiation from a Cesium atom. Can you believe that??? Hahaha.. Oh man.. I'm fucking serious man.. look at the numbers.. TEN Freaking digits!!! Almost the same as my bank account balance! ahhaha... who the hell could have thought of counting vibrations??? with a CESIUM ATOM no lesS!!! Even the rain man could not have done that. Haha...
Taking this course in Varsity is seriously a hazard to my cool factor. Haha... Perhaps I could look up the "Extreme Makeover" team by the time I graduate with my FIRST CLASS HONOURS. Perfect candidate man. Haha.. but start with William Hung, the Civil Engineer first. He looks like he needs it more than me. and give him some dancing lessons too. That man moves like a 100 yr old on viagra.. haha.
Got a busy day tmr. Good night and Good Luck!
