Force of Attraction as a function of Distance and Mass.

Using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation,

F=G m1 x m2/ r x r,

Theoretically speaking, the force of attraction between us should be relatively weak, reason being:

1) The distance between us is considerably great.
2) Our masses are relatively average.

Hence if the possiblity of staying together is directly proportional to the force of attraction between us, the probaiblity would therefore seem relatively low.

But there are always exceptions to the law. =)

Last Day in Frankfurt, 29/10/06

With a stroke of luck, Andre and I discovered that Cirque du Soliel was having their performance right outside his house! I've never been to a circus in my entire life, and fate would have it be such a good one (albeit rather difficult on the wallet. =))!


The theme this year is "Drahlion"; predominant acts were chinese acrobatics. Definitely performers with a class of own, but I think their winning formula is a avant-grade presentation of the acts. A heady mixture of CGI, strong vocalists and musicians casted each performance with a unique favour.


I began my journey in Germany at Helga's place....rather fitting to have it end there as well....like a full circle.

Helga on my right, Andre on my left.

To be honest, finding myself in Singapore once again was not really easy to register at first. Something felt out-of-sync (nothing to do with the haze really). But this blog is perhaps acting like a pensieve (have you read Harry Potter?!), drawing and recording the past experiences in germany. I've got this feeling, the moment I finish this entry, I'll revert back to normal...and be ready FOR WORK! =)

CALL ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO EAT MEE POK!!!!!!! 93693768!!!!

P/S Somewhere in the beginning of this blog, there was a picture of Andre as well. I think, if I put them side by side, they could probably past for a before-and-after ad promoting a makeover agency. *bleah.

Trekking in Switzerland 19/08/06-20/08/06

Leaving the pics to speak for themselves......

Ok, so it's supposed to be a practical related to biology.....Some cool pics of the animals we saw during our visit to the host university's museum. Courtesy of Dr Ulrike Engel.


See horse in their private moments


Worm. Looks like a rather succulent meal.....

Banyuls-sur-Mer 3/10/06-13/10/06


As a last practical stint, I went down south to Banyuls, a rustic town in france with a mixture of french and catalanish influence. Was damn cool, both the course and the people there. A fitting finale to the exchange in Europe. =)


This is the boss, Professor Thomas. W Holstein. I think I was secretly in love with him.


From left to right: Uli, Martin, Meike and Nadja. We did trekking on a saturday.... taking a pause on the way up to a tower called Madeloc.


We made it! To the top of the Madeloc!


We travelled to Collioure, and got bored. Hence the pics of our feet.
From the left: Nadja's, Meike's, Martin's and mine.


On the next day, some of us went trekking again....







....The rest went diving and snorkelling.




Anna, Holger, Andrea and at the microscope, Phillip (pretending to be hard at work)


Martin and Holger. Very artistic pic, in my opinion.


The harbour of Banyuls at night.




Loved them all. =)
