Preparing a Christmas Present

This is the last week for classes, then there'll be 2 weeks break before exam comes. It also means that I gonna finish up all the lab reports before Friday (or on Friday). For the first lab report (Solid 2 report) that I did it few weeks ago, I spent about 2 weeks on it. Then this week I'm gonna complete 2 reports (twice work half time...). So far, Thermo 2 report is done (used about 3 days). Now I'm struggling on the lab manual, I have no idea how to start Vibration report.

Anyway, it will also be the last bible study for this semester later. Cause christmas is around the corner, we'll be having a gift exchange session. Yesterday, my whole house of people went to The Store to buy some "cheap and nice" gift. I spent RM3.90 on a green container and RM0.80 for a fake rose. Of course, I won't let things happen easily, time for my creativity art work. *Hehe*

First! Fill the container with water until half full and put it into the FREEZER!!!!

Here's the mistake, after 1 hour freezing it, I took it out and thought it was all solidified. When you notice there's bubble inside, it means that it's only the surface that turns to ice. So it needs more cooling.

It took one whole night for it to freeze totally (not sure, cause I'm sleeping). Actually it's fast for the temperature to drop to freezing point (specific heat capacity of water = 4.18kJ/kgK), but the time taking process is to the latent energy that fully changes liquid into solid (latent heat of freezing/melting = 334kJ/kg).

It will be fully in white when all water is solidified:

Then I put a coin on the first ice layer, actually anything that won't float on water will do. Fill it until almost full with water, and put it into the FREEZER again! *Mua ha ha ha* Then I go to class.

After class, which is around evening, I took it out and it seems so "nice". Then I put some small ice cubes at the sides for decoration, and place the fake rose in the middle. Sprinle some water on the fake rose, and put it into the FREEZER again! *WA Ka Ka Ka*

Tada~! Finally I complete my little christmas project. This present clearly show my personality, COLD and LOVELY. I wonder what present will I get later... Hopefully it's not those super simple things such as stationaries or mugs. I think it's quite romantic if I use this method for a girlfriend, but instead of coin, I'll use a ring or someting better.

Then wrap it in newspaper to minimize the heat loss to the environment. Actually, adding some tissue papers in between would be better. Quite worry that my present won't last for the whole bible study later, specific heat capacity of ice is only 2.108 kJ/kgK. Melting is easier than freezing.

Don't know who will be the lucky one who get my present, I'm sure he/she won't forget this.

Isaiah 12:5 "Sing to the LORD, for he has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world." LORD, I pray that we will be able to invite more people and make the bible study group grow in the coming semester to glorify your Name. Most of us are heading back to wherever we're from for this 2 weeks break. LORD, I pray that you bless us on our journeys and also we will have a good rest to prepare for the exam. Also pray that the bible study later would be able to bring more people to You, there're more non-believers joining now. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
