Usaha Notes are up!
Hey guys! Just to let you know that I've posted up the links to the Usaha Notes, if you need them.
Byes!

The long awaited photos
I'm really sorry for posting up these photos so damn freaking late! Gah! *slaps myself*
These are some of the photos from the COH camp. Enjoy!
Firstly, we went to a restaurant to have our lunch before the camp...
(I was crying there because of the chillies)
Then, we set up our campsite, which was situated at Sir Vincent's yard. We became Sir Vincent's free grasscutters...
And because this was a last minute camp, we had to buy ingredients for our food during camp.
Yea, so then we cooked our food, yada yada. Then late at night, we had to build a flagpole, and so we did. There's our so-called suspended flagpole!
We had no flag, therefore, we used a gunny sack instead.
The next day, we tried to build a gateway for our Malam Kebudayaan:
We had a small orientation activity (around the playground in front of Sir Vincent's house)
Electrifying activity, where we get to play with 240 Volts of electricity!
I have no idea what I was doing. I was probably testing out something I read from the net that if you are not grounded, current would not want to flow through your body.
Skipping the lunch, at night, we had our 4 Scouts+4 Scouters Malam Kebudayaan, featuring Balloon Bombs (which are just balloons filled with stinky Butane gas)
and something I'd like to call the Mushroom, which is essentially a huge light thingie.
There's the fire!
Yea, so all of us had fun. Played games, sang songs, you know, the usual stuff in Malam Kebudayaan. So, the next day, we cleaned up the campsite. You should know how "cleaning up" looks like, so I'll just get on to the juicy part of that morning.
We had extra kerosene on our kerosene stove, so we erm... poured it away into Sir Vincent's longkang. Well, since kerosene's a flammable substance, what better way to use it than burning it and hoping it would burn down his house (haha, joking joking).
So, at the end of camp, we posed in front of a palm tree.
That's all! Happy holidays everyone. Oh, and if you want the Usaha Notes, check the side bar on the right!

Science in Scouting: Halogen Bulbs
Now, if you haven't noticed already, we have our own spotlights which utilise the good ol' Halogen bulbs.
These halogen bulbs are funny little creatures. They don't like people touching their body. They also despise dust particles, well actually, they just hate things touching their body. One single speck and holy cow! It blows up, literally!
See, halogen bulbs have a very sensitive glass bulb. Now, since it is named Halogen, it means that it uses halogen gases, like Iodine and Bromine.
This type of bulb gets very HOT! You can actually fry an egg from all that heat. Normally, the heat is evenly distributed over the glass envelope. If there is a single speck of dust or fingerprint, it will concentrate more heat over that region. This weakens the glass and can actually melt it. A bubble may form because of the gas pressure. Ultimately, the bulb fails, sometimes violently with an explosion.
Seriously, don't even try to touch a Halogen bulb's glass envelope. Just touch the contacts. If the glass is contaminated, clean it thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and dry it before use.
