As light as a packet of feathers..

Available in many sweet colours..

Well loved by kids from all over the world..

The feel of sweetness as it melts in ur mouth..

When u are feeling sad, stressed etc. , a packet of it will add some sweetness to u, just like how it works on me =) I was curious of how a basin-like machine can turn solid sugar crystals into cotton form, so went to do some reading up and share with all of u.. so..... Read On! ;P

This well loved sweet stuff has been around since 1904.. Thanks to uncle William Morrison and uncle John C. Wharton.. hahaha! Actually the whole process is very simple..

The machine has a small bowl, into which the sugar crystals are poured into it. Heaters near the rim melt the sugar and it is spun out through tiny holes where it solidifies in the air and is caught in a large metal bowl. The operator then twirls a stick or a cone around the rim of the large bowl, gathering the candy into portions.

Happy New Year Everyone!

2008 has just ended and a brand new year is here again =) Pace of life is getting faster and faster each year.. Perhaps, the amount of workload increases proportionally to age.. haha!

2008 has been a wonderful year for me.. As usual, there were ups and downs throughout the year.. Loved the 'ups' period and of course hated those 'down' periods.. but well, i have indeed learnt alot from all these experiences.. Wanna thank those who gave me support when i'm down and those who brought laughter, joy and happiness to me =)

Some highlights of the year:

OITP in shanghai - This was the first time i was away from home, for 7 weeks, experiencing a new culture & cold weather, with 8 other fun-filled classmates of mine and a new friend, Husna =) oh, and with 2 teachers too..Had a great time with them all, exploring new places together, taking stupid videos and tonnes of photos, cooking dinner, groceries shoppin @ carrefour, helping each other and learning to be more independent too..Friendships were drawn closer too during the 7 weeks.. it was a very valuable experience and all the memories will be kept in my heart =)

Final Year Project - FYP has let me have an experience of what research work will be like. Very independent, troublesome yet fulfiling when u get results. It is very different from routine lab practicals. furthermore, i had so much fun tgt working together with d.zihao and justin.. because it is 3 person per group, so any 2 can gang up and take turn to shoot/irritate each other.. lol.. hope everything going fine for us =)

BBFL - It was so great to come up with the idea of meeting every last friday of the month.. Reali loved this idea.. i'm so glad that our friendship is still as strong as ever.. Most memorable gathering so far was the one we baked and had steamboat at ivy's house.. buddies for life! cheers!

My birthday - d.zihao granted my wish of a ferris wheel ride. somemore it is the biggest and newest ferris wheel in singapore.. =) Received a photo album from fruity friends and my classmates.. so sweet and nice! thanks so much!

Dinner & Dance - Never get dressed up so nicely before and finally tried contacts ;) And also, get to see some of my classmates dressed up so nicely and shuai too! Had so much fun that night! now i dare to show people my D&D photos, sec 4 graduation dinner photos shall be kept in the dark forever.. but something sad was that hofai left us and went back to Hong kong *sigh*

Nonetheless, A brand new year is here! New hopes, energy, wishes etc are here too! We should leave all unhappiness and negative stuffs in 2008 and create more happiness & gain more in 2009 =)
