Check this video out...... My professor played it in class today and it was just fascinating. The engineers out there would like this one!

Anyone else interested in going Swan Lake? So far got the girls, kelly, and me, and we prob getting the $10 tix cos we're all feeling very poor. It's 5th Mar (Monday) night at Fox Theatre just down Ponce de Leon. I will prob be bringing my binoculars to share. Let me or Agnes know by Friday cos we're booking the tix then :) Thanks!

This weekend & some info abt Mardi Gras

Yo yo yo! Wat's up GIP(eeps)? Before the much anticipated Feb weekend outing, I've got two activities lined up this weekend - thanks to my friendly roomies!

1. Saturday Night 2/3/07
UFC Fight Night Pay Per View: RAMPAGE
Sounds boring? Well, we're heading to Hooters for the live telecast there! No entry fee, but a main course meal and beer will probably set u $20 back. Transport will be provided as my roomies have cars!! Ready to rumble?!

2. Sunday evening 2/4/07
Superbowl XLI, 'nuff said!
Gonna be a party at my apartment. Got food, beer and maybe a few chicks popping by(keep ya fingers crossed)! Haha... Witness this historic event and soak into the American culture!!! Btw, my roomies also invite the GIP babes too, so girls are welcome!

Interested? Please leave tags or comments on this blog.

MARDI GRAS
What you see on the website is only the tip of the iceberg. The party starts when everything organised finishes at night. No use going all the way for the day, cause nothing really happens in the day! (Everybody's dead drunk)
Warning: The party will be as debauch as you can imagine! Drink till morning, wild dancing, the ever-present boob-flashing and lots of hanky panky when everyone is drunk.
IMHO, the girls, for their own sake, better not go. This is because if u dun flash your ta-tas, the crowd will verbally abuse you or even forcefully grope u! And if u get drunk, consequences are unimaginable!
For guys, no use going for cheap thrills that are not safe! (Not to mention the ever-increasing gay community) If you wanna risk it (cos it's super tempting one, i guarantee there will be hordes of man-eaters there), then then the choice is yours!
For more info, can go to unofficial Mardi Gras related websites and see it for yourself!
Just my 2 cents

Nothing's over till its over - Florida

Hope everyone had an enjoyable and memorable weekend. Alot of you thanked me for organising this but the credit really goes to junliang while I'm just an information desemminator :)

Okies do load up ur pictures here, or may zip all and send to me to do a similar slideshow like Savannah. Videos too! We have a collections of individual's ski video but dunno who's camera. Yp's? Dawn's? Send to me and I'll share it all here!

Next up will be Spring break, Florida. This is a week-long event soooo need more brains to be cracked. Any volunteers??? Others who have a particular place interested to go can propose too. Like hannah's shuttle launch will be a spectecular sight. Have to consider whether to take flight or drive 12-14hrs too. Many stuffs.

Okies that's all le. Hope a florida comm can be formed soon enough to start on reasearch and planning.

Anyway thanks u all again.
U guys make my night.

Earthrace?

Did you guys see one of the Savannah pictures featuring a powerboat "Earthrace"?

We were at riverfront first night and saw this really futuristic powerboat with dim blue lights at the side. Super nice. Never seeen such boats before.

I looked at the pictures again and saw the words "Earthrace".
Then I googled for this and woah!
THIS IS A POWERBOAT ATTEMPTING TO BREAK THE WORLD RECORD!

"Earthrace is a bid to break the world record for circumnavigating the globe in a powerboat, and using only renewable fuels."

"The Earthrace aims to smash this record by completing the voyage in less than 65 days, and will mark the first time in history that an official UIM Powerboat record will be attempted using renewable fuel."

This is a website picture of earthrace, exactly what we saw that night!

Savannah Photos

Flash Slideshow

NASA sounds good..

i know dawn would definitely love to go~

NASA!

Hey.. This is a bit early, but could we go to NASA during spring break? Kennedy Space Centre at Florida.. Tours are quite ex though, $38 per adult. Get to " Tour Kennedy Space Center, see IMAX® space movies and all exhibits and shows. Also includes the Astronaut Hall of Fame and interactive space-flight simulators." There's supposed to be a shuttle launch on 16th Mar too, which is the Fri just before spring break. This one can view from outside NASA (Cape Canaveral) itself, just have to be at the right place at the right time.

Poor thing..it must have been frozen to death..God bless

Skiing is something we shouldn't miss here, moreover its the winter season now. So everybody build up your fitness and get ready for the loads of information coming up!

Stuff to whet your appetite!

Hi all, it's been a rockin' trip so far in America, which is not possible without u peeps!

Anyway, I'm extremely blessed with nice room mates and i must confess they are rather happening!

Through our nightly TV sessions (feel free to drop by GLC#302 ok? have free flow of beer too!), we chatted a lot and here's some of the things that might interest u!

- Gatech Football game (difficult to get, but will check it out)
- Skiing (already mentioned, but some places, albeit farther, have snow all year, so no worries to ski some time later...)
- Clubbing (will probably check out some clubs by february and update u guys)
- Heavy metal concerts / Underground gigs (according to preference)
- WWE/TNA wrestling live (will organise one if they happen to drop by atlanta Philips Arena or Georgia Dome)
- Spring Break (got recommendations like Cancun, Key West)
- Poker Party (organised by my roomies, will wager $ so now not enough ppl, anyone interested?) Anyway, i dun gamble, i might be the bouncer for the night! haha

Ok ok, enough distractions from the books liao, wait become the infamous example quoted by Miss Chua ("Some of they play too hard, forget abt studies, blah,blah,blah...")

Will surely jio u ppl if any of the above is confirmed!

Weather's Cold

wah today weather v cold.. my room mate left the aircon to cool again.. woke up freezing as usual.

been really busy all day and night.. aah.. i need more time..

the worst thing is that you're doing lab work with a phd student who designs flawed experiments.. day after day.. efforts go down the drain..


came back to realize my apartment's microwave's door handle is coming off.. too tired to cook dinner.. decided to kope some chicken from pern ren (from last night's reception) and made 2 taco wraps with loads of ham, bacon and cheese. hah! hannah! taco is definitely nicer without the veggie :D

eh.. why so few people posting arh? so many contributors already.. post more!..


cheers,
