Note that the above 3 items are sort of related. In a very abstract manner but still related.
Gloves. They have many uses. From the more practical use of wearing them, to being balloons, whether they are air filled or water filled.
And since gloves are made of stretchy material, the do make quite good water bombs. Especially since that they make quite a nice sound (something like BOOM) when dropped from the 6th storey or higher.
I have had a glove dropping spree 3 times already. Each time was different and exciting.
1st time. Two gloves. Alex and chev and other random people. 5th floor. 3H project corner. Both gloves were thrown down one by one, and they both hit the second storey roof thingy.
The sound of it hitting the roof made such a satisfying sound that i think most of RI hear it xD. All the more reason that it should be done again. And, the explosion is extremely satisfying to hear as well. =D
2nd time. Russ and I. 3rd floor, Admin block. Near toilet.
We played a few games with the gloves. First was just throwing the biggest glove over the side. It was fun, but got bored of it after a while. The second, was where the fox sweet cover comes into play.
The fox sweet cover is made of metal. And, for reasons unknown, it is quite sharp. Hence, russ and I decided to play a suicidal game, where we filled a glove with water, placed it against the wall, and threw the lid/disk thing at it. Since our accuracy kinda sucks, we moved closer and closer to it until it finally exploded and sprayed our lower legs with water. Such fun tempting danger.
The final game was the lobbing of a glove that was not so full of water to as far a distance as possible and watching go boom a little distance away. I hope no one got hurt.....
3rd time. The most satisfying of the lot. from the 7th floor. With Alex. The first one was a small glove koped from NTU that was filled with water. Filled, but not to the maximum since we were afraid of it exploding.
And so. We threw it down from the SEVENTH storey. And watched it in glee, waiting to see what kind of artistic pattern of water it would create on the ground. But what happened was more surprising.
It bounced.
I wish i had managed to take a picture of it literally becoming perfectly FLAT before bouncing back up.
The second glove hit the 2nd storey roof. BUT DIDNT BURST. It bounced and landed on the first floor. And then burst?!?!?! >.>
We threw a few more but they somehow could not match up to the previous two. Nvm, we can always do it again =)
NTU trips are highly eventful. The one on Tuesday was really the best of all the NTU trips so far.
Reason #1: Siak Peng didnt scold me for being too noisy/sleeping
Reason #2: I wasn't noisy/sleeping
Reason #3: The lecturer was interesting and he gave chocolates, some of which were made in china. Russ ate them.
Reason #4: There were so many gloves. Boxes and Boxes of them.....ahhhh......
Reason #5: I koped a box. And helped another person kope a few more gloves.
Good times, good times.
And on a completely different subject, someone told me that siak peng said that NTU has been complaining that gloves have gone missing! I wonder why....
Thur's NTU trip was frankly dissapointing. We didnt manage to kope gloves, there WERENT any gloves, and tha talk was boring, and i fell asleep, and siak peng scolded me and there was even a test!! Sian....
But at least the trip back on both days was made SO MUCH BETTER by xiu zhen express! I thanks him and his dad for kindly sending us to bishan mrt =DDD
(If you are reading this, which i doubt you are, THANKS)
And the 7th and final trip to NTU marks the end of the CHEM DMP. CELEBRATIONS!
=DDD
PS: This post is extremely late. Ive become extremely lazy in posting. Hopefully i will post more today/tmr.
