HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY
TO
MY DEAREST DA JIE
LEE CHIA WEI :))
p.s she is my classmate :))
Today i really tried my best to control my laughter and i think i did good ? Anyway, i don't want people to say that i am a *crazy woman . LOL. HAHA.
Early in the morning had pe . So sianz can, but walk round the stadium with yin and Regina ( da jie skip the lesson ) and talked about the ghost stories that marvyn said yesterday .
Then later on we got so engross in to the conversation until we also skip pe . HAHA. Not really skip pe but sit at aside and talk .
Later on we went to changed and go for a break . At around 10 ? we had EVT theory . Talked about the water thingy and now i am currently doing the NEW research on the water thingy again .
Plus i found out why we have to use demineralizer already . Demineralizer is a kind of substances which removes the harmful salt in the water which will damage our rigs .
Dermineralizer is also known as water softener .
And the water that is used in Singapore are hard water . There are two different thing - permanent hardness and temporary hardness. By reading through and i think our Singapore water is permanent hardness water .
This is what i found in the net . I edited some of it to be easier to understand .
Hard water is a type of water that has high mineral content
Hard water primarily consists of calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) metal
Permanent hardness is hardness (mineral content) that cannot be removed by boiling. It is usually caused by the presence of calcium and magnesium sulfates and/or chlorides in the water, which become more soluble as the temperature rises. Despite the name, permanent hardness can be removed using a water softener or ion exchange column, where the calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged with the sodium ions in the column.
Hard water causes scaling, which is the left over mineral deposits that are formed after the hard water had evaporated. This is also known as limescale. The scale can clog pipes, ruin water heaters, coat the insides of tea and coffee pots, and decrease the life of toilet flushing units.

Today miss Karen told us that the water in Singapore is hard water and i went to look more into it . They will left scaling on the kettle ,etc ,etc . Thats the reason why the rigs need water softener . I learn the water softener in PO1 :))
It is all related to each other , ALL the subjects that we are learning now . :))
AND , the brown word are the words that i got from the net . The others i type one hor , i got study one leh . HEHE . :))
Okay, carry on . :)) After the EVT we went for the jurong island talk . YEAH THERE WILL BE A OPEN HOUSE ON 30TH AUGUST . :)) I'm going with my mates :)) I think it is only opened for the ITE students and their parents for the public i am not really sure . We have to make an entry pass to get in . So excited loh . Even though i gone there once but we just tour around in the bus and didn't get to walk around . It is my future IA place PLUS working place . YEAH ! :))
Okay, ending soon . Have to get back to my research doing . LALA.
Everyday research research no life. :((
Worst of all is that my sister don't understand that i have to do research and she thinks that i am playing games. LOL. For goodness sake i don't play online games one loh . I use computer mainly for blogging and doing research . What crap she talking . LOL.
BYE :))
P.S If you don't understand the part in the demineralizer and hard water thingy , you can come ask me :))
* only my mates know what happened to me . :))

This picture of kangin drives me and yani crazy :))
