Slacking~ lalala~~~, few more hours to term test and I'm slacking. GGNESS. I'm gonna flunk. I'm so distracted that I can't concentrate on my studies. But come to think of it, distracted by what? I've no idea. Actually, I'm in "holiday mood" now, and of course with this, I don't have the mood to study. Ha Ha Ha...

What should I do to savage myself from this situation? Need some pros to help me! =/ Maybe I should spend my time to type what I had revise here? Haha. It could really force me to study as I prefer typing stuff rather than writting=X. Hmm those who not interested in my subject-based content, you can stop reading here. So... BYE! hahas...

Here I go:

Enviromental Technology - Topic 1 (Water quality and water treatment)

Physical Parameters

• Solid contents
• Turbidity
• Colour
• Odour
• Taste
• Temperature

1. Soild contents

Well. Nothing much. It means solid content in the water consist of TSS(total suspended solid), TDS(Total dissolved solid), TS(Total solid).

Units: mg/L

2. Turbidity

Turbidity is the measurement of cloudiness in the water. Cloudiness is caused by TSS where the particles are big enough to scatter light.

Cloudiness in water affects aquatic life as it blocks out light to don't allow aquatic plants to photosynthise. This reduces the DO in the water, hence fishes may not have enough DO.

Cloudiness also affects water treatment process such as UV disinfection.

Unit: NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit)= FTU (Formanzine Turbidity Unit)

3. Colour

Colour is caused by dyes, humic substances, dissolved minerals, microogranism.

Colour causes the water's aesthetic to be decreased, affects aquatic life, more expensive in water treatment.

Colour of the water is measured using a water sample comparing with colour comparasion tubes which is prepared using 0 to 70 mg/L of Pt-Co.

4. Odour

It is caused by organic and inorganic chemicals, and also decaying organic matter.

Odour is measured by dilution of odour-free water till the smell is preceptible. The results is expressed in terms of ratio.

5. Taste

It is caused by decaying mircoorganisms and high concentration of CCM (Cl-, Ca2+, Mg 2+).

Similar to odour, it is measured by dilition of taste-free water till the taste is preceptible, the results is expressed in terms of ratio.

6. Temperature

High temperature may cause:

1. The DO in water to decrease and DO solubility decreases with increasing temperature, this may affect marine life
2. Affects metabolism of mircobes. Mircobes used in water treatment may not be able to function well as high temperature affects their metabolism.
3. Affects solubility, some mineral salt's solubility decrease with higher temperature, this may cause scaling to piping. Heavy metals' solubility may increase, and the water may carry high concentration of heavy metal.
4. The above 3 affects water treatment process as the mircobes that are used do not have sufficient DO, affected metabolism, and heavy metal is able to kill the mircobes used in water treatment processes.

Phew the physical parameters is done. The chemical properties is a headache-_-... Oh well... I think I'll go play audi now, then later continue with my chemical paremeters for water quality.

Hmm anyone interested in playing too? Because I'm alone there<_< http://www.euphro2.com/forum/ I think it's better if you enter this site using firefox as I think IE may be a little slow.

Hmm time to prepare for school. BYE!!!!

Hmm time to type a short post before I take my afternoon nap=p

Gosh I got 3 tests next week, and I have studied any of them, more ever, on monday, there's x2 exp which I'm going to train my maple character. I didn't have time to study yesterday as I went out with my friends haha. I guess I should study abit later before being hooked to my computer again=X.

Well, it's really a very short post huh? hehe... Time to nap. nightz!!

Hmm... Today during the UO1 lecture, the course manager gave out like a "award" to those who are enlisted in the director's list. Sadly, I was not inside haha... Didn't expect to be inside too, since secondary school, I've not been receiving any award, so, this time it should not be an exception=p(I got a bit disappointed when the thing they gave out was just a piece of letter-like paper-.-). Oh ya for those who don't know what is director's list, it's a title that the top 10 % of the cohort are awarded with.

Actually, I wanted to a round of dota, but it seems that i got into 3 games which was really screwed with leavers and D/c-ers. I got really bored and so decided to type a blog entry haha. Hmm.. I just got back my N73 phone from the service centre yesterday. To my disappointment, they only upgraded the firmware. I thought they would change the motherboard or something so I can have this "brand new" feel to my phone. Haha. But nevertheless, I really like my current phone. It really have lots of functions although it lags sometimes. Because of the firmware upgrade of my phone, all my previous exisiting smses in my phone were deleted, and happened so that one of the sms inside was quite important to me. It was one sms that my ex has sent me. Don't ask me what is the content as I totally forget about it. Although I still remember the aim of that sms. It just feels kind of sad haha... Anyway, I just installed something that allow me to type Japanese on my phone! It was totally so cool. I wanted to help my friend too so we can communicate in Japanese, but too bad, this phone was not compatitable with the software that I'm using now. Cant receive Japanese sms. ぜんねんですよ！Hmm, if anyone knows how to enable Japanese input on Nokia 6280 or 6288, please tell me! I'll be really thankful.

Talking about Japanese, there was one time in my class where there's a practice between students. The sensei will pick one student to post a Japanese question, and the other student is supposed to answer in Japanese. Luckily/unluckily(see how you wan to intepret it), one student of my class was called to post a question to me. I wasn't prepared. I was staring at the Student Handbook looking for new vocabulary that I had not seen before. This is what the student was asking me シンガポルじんですか？(Are you singaporean?) I answered: いいえ、シンガポルじんじゃありません。(I'm not singaporean). OMG!! I was seriously not thinking LOL. I felt dumb at that time, but... Oh well.. It's over, many may think I'm not singaporean. たいへんですよ！haha..

Oops! Did I said anything about my Guzheng audition last Thursday? I guess I did not huh? Hmm, that day was supposed to be an ordinary 笛子 sectional session, and it was so concidence that the Guzheng audition was also held on this day. I initially wanted to listen to those Guzheng players, to see how good am I among those Guzheng players(Which I think I'm bad), but too bad, the audition venue was only opened to those auditioners and the main community, as well as a TP alumni whom was a Guzheng pro(judge). Later on, while I was practicing my 笛子, my friend(senior) called me to go for the audition too. I was like shocked. OMG ask me to audition when I'm not mentally prepared? Well, I did screwed up in that audition haha. I was really nervous lolx. But it doesn't matter even I'm not choosen as I still got my 笛子 =p. So, it was still quite relieving haha.

Oh before I forgot, I was also chosen for a National compeition which is about Crystal Growing. Not really sure what was it about. I've not read anything nor research anything about it which I was supposed to(Of course I will read and research sometime). I hope I won't cause any disgrace to my course as my lecturer says that my course is famous for winning awards, which is kind of stress to me haha.

Well, I think I shall stop here for now. Thanks for reading! =D... See ya all じゃまたこんど！

OMG!!!! It been nearly 2months when I ever updated my blog -_-", well guess now no one's following it anymore haha.. I got tired of playing maple, and so, I decided that I shall use the remaining time before bed time to post an blog entry.

Well, I "MIA" not because I'm busy or whatsoever, it's because of these 2 reasons:

Firstly: I'm too lazy to type an entry,
Secondly: There are alot of things happening, and something made me not to post in my blog to tell everyone about it.

Well so now you know why I didn't type a blog entry for a long long time=p.

Last week's Wednesday and Friday, I performed in the CCA recruitment drive in my school's Chinese Orchestra. It was my first time playing Guzheng in Chinese Orchestra, and I was not familiar when I first started, stuff like, when to come into the song, when to go out of the song etc etc. I was only given 2 days of practice, and more ever, I was required to play in F and G Major when I have no experience in it at all in my entire life. Well, after those 2 days of practice, I at least manage to catch up with the rest. During those 2 days, I was really stressed up, there were like no one to really encourage me. It was really a horrible feeling. Well, but all ends up well. My secondary school teacher once said to me," You work very well under stress". Guess she's right haha. But, in everything there is always a cause and an effect. I may be able to work under stress, but in turn, there would be something else. ( I won't say what though)

Oh ya! DRP in holidays! I haven't said anything about it yet. Remembered I said I was in some DRP thingy on my previous post? Because of it, I didn't really had my holidays-_-". Everyday was school school school. Arghh... My 6 weeks holiday was passed like this. Its like so saddening! T_T...

Talking about school, this year's intake has increased significantly as compared to last year, which caused me to miss my morning bus frequently! OMG! I was at the bus stop 45mins earlier and I was late for school because I couldn't get on 3 buses! The crowd was so overwhelming! Gosh I really hate this, what if I'm hate for tutorials and lectures which happens to have a pop quiz??? I'M DEAD T_T...(well not for now).

Hey sorry for my "messily" structured blog. Haha.. It's not in chronological nor in topical order, I just randomly type<_<.

Ok next, let me talk about my maple progress. Oh yes!!! I'm finally level 133 today! Woots! But I don't really have the "chionging-mood" to level my character, this is because I couldn't get my Sharp Eyes Book 2! It's so sad... I've been hunting for 1 week + already using twin coupon and also during x2 time slots. Bleh... I'm going to vomit blood... I guess there's still 13 more days before my twin coupon expires. Wish me luck! =X...

Now, back to my school life=X... This week's Tuesday, I went as usual for my school's Japanese Tutorial, and thought that I would be alone again as I was really sitting at one corner. Happens so that there's a group of people who came to my row of desks and sat there. I was happy for a moment, at least I won't feel really outcast. Other then this, there was something funny happened during the lesson. There was an activity time whereby student but go around asking for other people's name using Japanese. There was this guy(same diploma and year as me) came and like ask for the girl whom was sitting beside me. After asking, he suddenly like "act pro" and start teaching the girl like a teacher when she didn't ask anything to me taught, and after he left, the girl turn to me and say," He very show-off leh". I was like LOL... I think he wanted to give a signal to her that he was smart, and trying to catch her attention? No idea... I feel that he is just too............ thick-skinned.

Hmm.. I guess I can't really think of what stuff I could write about now, I shall end off talking about myself. In this period of time where I didn't blog, I think I changed alot. I started to feel the whole world is against me, and I didn't dare to voice out my ideas and such. I feel that I'm really rejected from the society. My friends won't very friendly to me either. If they had they chance, I think they would rather mix about with themselves leaving me out. Well, despite all these, I still act blur. Haha... No one till now really have a common interest as me or probably an equivalent type of thought. I'm also very shy and don't really dare to talk to new faces and to make friends with them. Sigh... I really feel I'm such a faiure... Oh well...

So... It's time to sleep now! 11.58pm! Gotta squeeze in the bus again tomorrow. T_T... Nightz! おやすみなさい！
