Chem trip to the Royal Society
Time = 3.20pm
17 of us, 2 teachers inclusive, were invited to the
Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition. There were 23 exhibitions such as Matter Matters, Polar Meltdowns, Creating a Colourful Life, The Dynamics of Spin, Today's Waste, Tomorrow's Fuel, The Big Squeeze and more...
At the lobby, registering and collecting our bags for freebies and leaflets
Exhibit 18 - Living with a Star: surviving near our explosive Sun

Our first stop was to the exhibit called 'How good a surgeon are you?' where we could perform a stimulation surgery!

Mr Latif played the penguin game, using a device placed on your ear and you move your head to move the penguin. it was sooo much fun!
really beautiful sculpture. I didn't check if it was real ice.
At exhibit 3 - The Perception Deception: maths made optical illusions where there is a big screen tv with a webcam :D
Mitesh in the cool "car/motorcycle"
Exhibit 10 - Journey To The Centre of the Cell
After 2 hours of walking around the exhibitions, we then set off to Mr. Latif's godmother's restaurant for curry.

Overall, it was a really great day and I only got home at 11pm! It was an amazing experience to perform the surgery, removing gallbladder :) even though it is just a stimulation. I wasn't disgusted or afraid at all, but it was boiling inside the green coat thing. :P
We also had the chance to meet
Professor Stephen Hawking. It was a real honour. i didn't know at first of how well-known he is.
Current mood: restless
Currently listening to: Ivy talking on the phone about Harry Potter
Labels: chemistry, school trips

U dunno Stephen Hawking??? he's so famous, if u meet him, it's better to write a post on him (instead of only a sentence?) !! LOL!!

So fun that you actually performed a 'surgery'.. coolies!! I hope it builds up more faith and confidence towards the career you're about to embark on. Some more got makan makan and met Hawking? How did he speak? Through the machine?
-
haha.. hmm yea. I only got to stand next to him and didn't really know wat was going on at that moment. My chem teacher took a photo of him with some of my classmates. I noticed a few words on his machine so yea, he communicates to us using that. But i only saw him for a few minutes before they continued looking around. So didnt really get the chance to talk to him.
