Nuke Nuke Nuke.....

Singapore is considering nuclear power. This was the information i received from my dad when taking to him during a usual dad-son chat...

Wow...Nuclear power... The phrase felt strange. Remembering that the only time i actually heard or seen the phrase was from the computer game "Command n Conquer". In the game, China builds strong nuclear power plants to create energy for its nuclear weapon systems. This caused me to have a mis-conception about Nuclear power and nuclear power plants, thinking that it was only meant for weapons and war purposes.

I almost forgot about the issue until today at Effective Communications class when lecturer asked us to think of topics, to set us going for presentations. We eventually dropped the topic as it was to demanding and difficult to research on. However this sets me going and i decided to blog about this.

Thus, to fulfil my curiosity, i did some research on Wikipedia and also browsed through google. On Wikipedia, it says that nuclear power is energy produced from controlled nuclear reactions also known as nuclear fission. However , as i read on from an article on Straits-times, it reports that nuclear plants needs a 30km of buffer zone. This is also the thing that is limiting Singapore from deploying this project.

PM Lee has also said that hes not ruling out the idea as nuclear plants may be built undergrounds , ruling out the safety problems , or technology will improve and that the safety problem may change allowing Singapore to adopt the idea.

Some may fear that nuclear power plants emits nuclear radiations which is harmful to human bodies. However, there are currently unheard cases about this worry and that many countries are living well with nuclear energy.

The only problems left is, Singapore itself is not able to utilise the full about of energy created from each nuclear fission. This means that Singapore is using too little energy for us to use nuclear fission and that there will be excess energy left.

Well, I'm okay with nuclear power plants. As long as safety isn't compromised, i don't mind having cheaper electricity bills.
Hey guys, what do you think? Are you for or against Singapore using the power of nuclear to produce energy?

An Awesome Day!!!

Today was an awesome day. Had to say this because the rest of the week is really busy. Who actually say that poly students have a slack student life? Haha. I think poly life is exciting and vibrant! This may be why poly students seems to have more smiles on their faces as compared to Junior College students.(haha, little theory of Daniel)Daniel is starting to like his poly life , this may be due to his special class BM1005. :D

Its Friday today, and according to the time-table, school was suppose to start at 8am and end at 12pm. Gosh...its another of those early morning lessons that we were familiar with in secondary school. However this time its worst, its a early morning lecture for Accounting for Assets.

Woke up in the morning, fetched to school by my mom and attended the lecture. Lecturer seems like a nice guy, although he wasn't as funny as the rest of the lecturers, his lessons are nevertheless interesting. Learnt the concept of Accounting , the AED and LRC concepts and also the Credit v.s. Debit rule. Class eventually ended due to students being restless. Who could blame them, its a 2 hour lecture on a extremely "DRY" topic.

Thereafter as the Lecturer was also our tutor, we were asked to stay back in the lecture theatre. This was like adding salt to the already bleeding wound. Pain....Pain...Pain....
However, who would have knew that the lecturer was only trying to explain to us some of the rules and books that we have to buy. We were then released like 2 hours earlier. Wow, got to say....I Love the Lecturer...
We then went to McDonald's to have our breakfast, and the few of us went off to VivoCity for a movie. Shutter Island...

The movie Shutter Island, is a disappointment as we were expecting it to be a thriller genre film. However, it turns out to be some stupid psychological mystery film...Its about this man, who was a patient in this mad house island for 2 years, who killed his wife that killed his 3 children , thinking that he's discovering a dark secret of the mad house for illegally operating on patients' brains. He actually suffers from this mental illness that keeps inputting images into his brains , recycling the story of his trying to stop the mad house from operating on patients. Although we were disappointed, i was actually quite impressed with the plot.

After that we spent sometime sitting at "Kopitiam" chatting and eventually separated to return home... What a day....
Firstly, being able to end class early and secondly being able to spend time with my lovely classmates. Lovely day....

Daniel truly thank God for this wonderful day!!!
