Yeah, you read it correctly. 'Lepak'ing is a combination of Malay and English. It means chill-out or relax. You might think that it is very silly of us to 'lepak' when we are in a middle of an experiment. But we have valid reason to do so!
These photos was taken this afternoon. Whilst everyone was on their lunch break, my group had to do a Biology experiment, entitled "Photosynthesis"
Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants and some algae. Plants need only light energy, carbon dioxide and water to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the choloplasts, specifically using cholophyll.
Whilst waiting for the plants to photosynthesize (40minutes), me and my friends chill out and take photos of ourselves! haha
These are some photos taken when I'm doing physics experiment yesterday. The title of the experiment is Spring Elasticity.
Elasticity is one one of the physical characteristics of a solid. It shows whether a material will return to its original state when an external force applied to it is removed.
The quantitative discussion of the elasticity of a spring can be summarized according to Hooke's Law which defined as follows.
The force applied on an elastic object is proportional to the displacement of the material from its original position.
Of course its gonna be Spain! Realistically... I'm going to say Germany has the greater chance for victory. They've been on a insane dominating spree lately, while Spain has difficulty beating any opponent by more than 1-0. But World Cup is all about winning games, no matter what's the scoreline. Because at the end of the day winning is all that matters, either you win 7-0 or 1-0, the fact of the matter is - that team won, and thats that, full stop.
Having said that, of course, as a fan, who would not want to see their team scores plenty of phenomenal goals? And to see all those goals on replay. I know I would!
In my opinion, Vicente del Bosque has done a tremendous job of coaching Spain. Why?, because Spain is one of the favourites to win the coveted cup, and they had been on low-profile since the tournament started. To me, that is a sign of a winner. Take Italy and France in the 2006 World Cup. Nobody had ever thought that the two teams would ever meet in the Finals. One of the reason is that both teams played just well enough to proceed to the next stage, they dont show their might at the start of the tournament, but let it all out at the Final; because as I said earlier, winning the game is all that matters. For that Spain's coach has got to be credited.
Germany might have scored 4 goals in their last two games, but that does not mean that they can keep that track record. The Germans have been an extremely good team so far in the tournament and the
Spaniards have not yet played to their true potential. Fernando Torres has not scored yet,for a big game player I expect him to score in this tie.

Its true. No matter how many time you denied it, some of us cant keep awake when listening to lectures, especially those tediously boring lectures.
You dont believe me?
Then here's the proof ....
(the 3 guys in this pic are actually my friends!) Sorry guys..
At the start of the lecture (first 10 minutes), everyone's smiling (well, almost everyone!)
You don't have to wait long..This photo is taken 30 minutes after the start of lecture
After 1 hour...and they're still asleep!
There you go, solid evidence and can be use in court,lol. Most of us can keep our eyes open in the lecture hall, and most of us cant.I highly respect those who can survive the agony of keeping awake,even when most of the people in the lecture hall are asleep!
There are some ways of keeping awake in lectures:
- Go to the toilet and wash your face
- Take 2min and have a little walk outside the lecture hall to stimulate blood flow
- Eat something - sweets, chewing gum etc
- Use eye drops!
- Have a chat with the guy next to you
First of all, eventhough the title of my post says "Yahoo!", im not gonna talk about that multi-billion dollar company. What I wanna talk about is about the popularity of my blog. I've recently registered my blog into 'Blog-Gempak', an interactive community blogger, and in just 10minutes I get plenty of page hits! Thank You Blog-Gempak!
