Wednesday, November 28, 2007 ;. Some of the museums in Chicago have free admission on 26th and 27th of Nov because it is right after the Thanksgiving weekend. My card does not have free admission to Shedd Aquarium, so we used 26th to visit Shedd, and gain free admission anyway. We planned to visit the Museum of Science and Industry and Adler Planetarium after this, and for both of them, we had free admission because of the card. But an Aquarium, and such a huge and well-organised one, who can resist?

Wednesday, February 27, 2008 ;. It was a warmer Sat this weekend, so the kids went out to play. Ds1 rode his bike with Dh and ds2 played on our swings. In the evening, we set off for SLC's Energy Solutions Arena for our live NBA match. Utah Jazz vs Atlanta Hawks. Initially wanted to buy LA Lakers vs Jazz but tickets were all sold out. Then when I became a teacher at hc, my good friend happened to be the coach of the bb (girls) team, and she asked me to try and get the teacher-in-charge post. I though...

Tuesday, October 10, 2006 ;. All along wanted to have a blog, but had no time to set it up, or post. Finally took this first step because I was inspired by Shay Piao, haha. We all had a look at his blog today, cool. I have such an illustrious history so I shan't dwell on it, unlike some pple :-). It will just make all of you wonder in amazement again, doubting that I ever got all those awards/ accolades. I think the main reason that spurred me on to finally have a blog is cos I am leaving,. About us ;.

Smart Guide to Physics: More on photoelectric effect: Will frequency affect current?
http://smartphysics.blogspot.com/2006/09/more-on-photoelectric-effect-will.html
Monday, September 04, 2006. More on photoelectric effect: Will frequency affect current? My last post said, "the simple answer is.". So what's the more "complex" answer? Dunid to worry abt tis more complex answer if u r still not too familiar with the more basic concepts. so here goes. In fact, freqency can affect the photoelectric current. but why? Just to add a wee bit more =). It's also possible for the vibrations of the crystal lattice to impart energy to the photon and increase its frequency. Subscr...

http://smartphysics.blogspot.com/2006/09/more-on-polarisation.html
Saturday, September 09, 2006. To have a good understanding on polarisation, you will need to know how polarisation works. There is actually a distinction between mechanical or EM waves in relation to polarisation. For mechanical waves, you can think of a transverse wave generated by a rope. When the slit is in the same plane of oscillation of the wave, the wave will pass through, and when it is an a certain angle, only a component of the wave will pass through, hence being polarised. Paiseh paiseh . ...

http://smartphysics.blogspot.com/2006/09/photoelectric-effect-will-frequency.html
Monday, September 04, 2006. Photoelectric effect: Will frequency affect current? A group of students recently asked mi tis question. how will the frequency affect the photoelectric current? Some students will then argue, when the energy of the photon is higher, wouldn't the max KE be higher, hence the velocity of the photoelectrons reaching the collector's plate be higher, and thus higher current? I gave this analogy when I was explaining to my students. with slight modification here :). I guess your stu...

Saturday, March 31, 2007 ;. Our last box arrived today. Those sent via surface mail. I can't even remember what I packed inside till I opened it and it turned out to be mainly the boys' toys. They were inseperable with these toys before we came so I packed them. But they had survived well these mths without these toys like the Noah's Ark, so I now feel I wasted time and money by shipping them over. Sigh. Haha, the pic below shows our stock of Campbell soups. $1 per can, Chunky and Select varieties...

Thursday, January 31, 2008 ;. It's been quite some time since we last had a family drive and outing. This Sat, since it was not snowing hard and the skies were blue, we set off for the Hardware Ranch. It is near Logan, north of Utah, about 2 hours away from where we are. The distance is not that far, but because towards the ranch, there is a canyon and the roads up the mtns are narrow and very winding, so that took a longer time. Also, the roads there were not plowed and thus we had to be careful. The bu...
