vol⋅a⋅tile/vol-uh-tahyl

–adjective
1. evaporating rapidly; passing off readily in the form of vapor: Acetone is a volatile solvent.
2. tending or threatening to break out into open violence; explosive: a volatile political situation.
3. changeable; mercurial; flighty: a volatile disposition.
4. (of prices, values, etc.) tending to fluctuate sharply and regularly: volatile market conditions.
5. fleeting; transient: volatile beauty.
6. Computers. of or pertaining to storage that does not retain data when electrical power is turned off or fails.
7. able to fly or flying.


So it turned out to be true that volatile does means to be able to fly as Zhi Ting has informed me. Pretty surprising since even the Great Leonard didn't know of it.


THE DAY, HAS COME.

COME MY FRIENDS, TONIGHT WE PARTY

BECAUSE TOMORROW, WE FIGHT!

So the day of judgement has arrived. I'm looking expectational forward to tomorrow's battle. Not forgetting I am also awaiting for the photos of my many comrades taken today. Also, there is also the exclusive photo of Mr Quek posing on his car! I bet that's gonna hit headlines.

Gonna make this short, but I'm still gonna rant about the devasting news and obstacles we faced today.

The clavinova's adapter/cable is MISSING! Like who the hell did that! I swear that I am so gonna kill that person or those people which did it. We hadn't notice that the cable wasn't attached until we brought it down to Dance Studio.

We thought we could use the keyboard with adapter instead, in the end, it turned out the adapter of that is also MISSING! Everything that belongs to choir seems to be vanishing on its own or by some "mystic" force these days. So darn frustrating. We end up have to hold our practice at the Archives where our good old, but out of tune because it was left to collect dust for quite a few months and have not been tuned since then, is situated at.

Had to run up and down the whole day trying to resolve the problem at hand so that we won't be wasting each others precious time which is meant for us to be all geared up for the battle ahead tomorrow. I seriously ran and tried every way I can to minimise the damage done. I'm glad we managed to made it through too. Who ever that attempted to subotage us, failed miserably. If you think we are gonna be pulled down just like that, you are so damn wrong. You can't be any more mistaken.


That is gonna be all for today. Following up are articles from NewScientist.Com

Ja-na!~

String theory: A beginner's guide

String theory is one of the most famous ideas in modern physics, but it is also one of the most confusing.

At its heart is the idea that the fundamental particles we observe are not point-like dots, but rather tiny strings that are so small that our best instruments cannot tell that they are not points.

It also predicts that there are extra dimensions to space beyond the obvious length, breadth and depth, but we do not experience them because they are bunched up in tiny spaces.

While these notions are deeply strange, the key issue for string theorists has actually been the difficulty of testing their ideas.

Edward Witten, a leading architect of string theory, works at the cutting edge of mathematics and physics in his quest for a "theory of everything". Matthew Chalmers met up with him to ask how it feels to work in an area so rarefied that it's a problem simply conveying to other people what he's up to

Star crust is 10 billion times stronger than steel

* 23:58 14 April 2009 by Rachel Courtland

The crust of neutron stars is 10 billion times stronger than steel, according to new simulations. That makes the surface of these ultra-dense stars tough enough to support long-lived bulges that could produce gravitational waves detectable by experiments on Earth.

If rollercoasters and rock concerts sound fun but leave you with a headache, a drug-free sugar pill might be all that's needed to soothe you.

Thrill-seekers enjoy a stronger placebo response than people with more restrained personalities, new research shows.
