Practical / Labs

In sec sch and JC, I'll link this 2 words with doing experiment and with the subjects chemistry or physics. Now, this 2 words have completely new meanings to me. They are no longer related to experiments, but have become programming in computer labs or any other computers I can find.

However, this sem, i took a Physics module and today is the first lab for this module, and my first 'real' lab session i had in 3 years. The experiment was pretty dumb though, to measure the speed of light. An easy experiment, but i totally lost touch, dont even remember how to use the C.R.O. Lucky this experiment is done in pairs, and got people there to help you if you encounter any problems. Towards the end of the experiment, there was sort of like a Q & A / Oral session, and freak, the question thrown at me was out of this world. Havent touch Physics for so many years, i cant even answer the simplest of question. This will be counted in the CA too.

With some cock up during the experiment, we still manage to finish the experiment in around 2 hrs ahead of schedule by 1 hr(Most, in fact all others can finish in 1 hr). Still it was quite fun to finally touch these things again.
