The Michigan people are here. Fung Ming, Wei Heong, Elaine and Huey Fang are staying at my place tonight. Glad to meet them for the first time since we parted at KLIA. I think they r playing some game called LIFE in Kenneth's room.



Was on the phone with my brother for around an hour. I've not called home for nearly a week and he was telling me stories about the religious retreat that he attended with our parents during the 3-day long Maal-hijrah weekend. One in particular that kinda spooked him and his friends is about the room that they stayed in is actually haunted. He said he felt someone was fiddling around with his hair when he was sleeping.



In Professor Powers' lab today, we had a our first tried of the chemical boat. To produce roughly 4 atm of pressure in side our 20 ounce bottle, we used 0.1 L of the vinegar acid and 8.4g of sodium bicarbonate. Prof Powers told us to try the bottle-strapped styrofoam on the floor and it wildly jetted for around 2ft for approximately 5 seconds. Some liquid jettisoned out. Tested the spray of substance on the floor for its pH level and discovered that they were at pH 6.8. Could be the product of the reaction.
