Ramblings

It's been too long...
I'm having guilt-trip now...I was asked to do a favour by my brother. He wanted me to help him take out his items from his store in maplestory but I sort of forgot about it. Now, his items were stored in a bank and he can't get them out without his 13-word verification.
The only things he remembered about his account are his login ID, password and pin number... So basically, he has no way of getting what he wants because he doesn't even remember his e-mail!
So, back to the start, I'm being blamed for everything and the worst being, I thought so too! I'm an easily guilt-stricken person. As long as something that I'm involved in went wrong, I will blamed myself and be blamed by others. I will do my best to make it right. 'Sigh", this is life, isn't it?
That's what I'm doing now. Finding all means to make things right, for my brother. I think I will even go down to the customer service centre...I may even part with my money...
Why does this happens to me?? After this whole fiasco is over, I swear to myself I would not offer my help anymore. It's just too tedious for me, and me alone. Why must I be the one who did everything? Why must I be the one who is guilty when something went wrong? I'm tired already.
Great, just great...
Another note, maplstory is driving me crazy. Why must my life revolves around maplestory? I don't know myself. These days, whenever I play maplestory, the computer will auto restart. It was so irritating. I can't even properly trained my character. This is my last month of holiday. Why can't it go smoothly for me? I give up...
This whole post is dedicated to my non-existing life and maplestory.
Sure, I'm wrong, but isn't my brother? He doesn't even remember anything about his account. Am I the one responsible for it? Why must I be blamed for everything? Gahh...enough ramblings...
Till next time...Hopefully everything will be better soon...

Received sms from MOE this morning, 6.16am to be exact. I got into my 1st choice, Temasek Poly, Business/Logistics and Operation Managment/Marketing.

It's alright, I supposed. I'm not overjoyed or anything. My father had jokingly asked me if I want to appeal to other polys. Nah, I'm not doing that. I'm the one who made the decision to go there, so I'll follow through.

I'm going to give myself a chance to try out something new. So, now, it's waiting for Temasek Poly to send all the details to me via mail...Hope to enjoy the rest of my remaining holidays...

New place, new people, new opportunities

CNY 2008

It's been a while since I update this blog...

15th Feb:
Met up with some girl-friends before going to ex form-teacher, Mr Tan's house. We were the 1st to arrive. Mr Tan showed us his wedding and younger days photos. It was quite windy there. He also has a dog, very active and playful.
At around 7, another group arrived. It was getting crowded in the living room. Around 8pm, 20 or more classmates gathered there and pizzas soon arrived. Mr Tan's father also cooked finger food and spaghetti for us. Mr Tan then took out a bottle of either fruit wine or some sort of spirit. He past around some flutes around we shared the drink. I took a sip or two. It left a bitter aftertaste.
All too soon, I was going home...I had a great time there.

16th Feb:
Went Long John Silver to have lunch with 2 friends. After that, the 4 of us, 2 guys and 2 girls went to watch Jumper. The movie was cool, although quite short. We went and walk around before I went home. The 3 of them then went to AMK hub.
As I was saying, this is only the second time I went out to watch movie with friends. Besides, it was only during sec 4 that I started going out with friends.

Upon receiving the results

Met up with some girl-friends to have lunch together. Everyone was liked so nervous, including me, of course. I was starting to feel the heat by then.
We reached school with time to spare and so decided to take a tour around. It felt great to be back. After a while, we saw our biology teacher. He then started saying that our biology results were not that good. There was only 1 distinction...That was when we started panicking. I kept perspiring, my hands were sweaty...
It was time to assemble in the hall. The new principal and vice principal talked for a while, before giving the teachers the cue to hand out the results slips. It was really warm in the hall. Our English teacher came by and told some of us our English grade. I got a B3 for it! Yay!
At long last, it was my turn...
My hands were shaking so much before getting the results. When I saw the slip, let's just say my mind blank out. It was until my teacher helped me count my L1R4 that I saw the grades. I got an A1 for Combined Science! It was a miracle as the Chemistry paper was tough. Then came an A2 for Chinese! Glad that I retake the paper!
I got 4 B3: English, Combined Humanities, Maths and Biology. Combined Humanities was a little disappointing. I expected an A for it. The same goes to Maths and Biology. But the Biology paper was really difficult. I passed my A maths!! As my tuition teacher put it, Finally! I got a C5 for it!
Hooray! I'm really really happy!
So, my L1R4 or 5 subjects is 12 points. L1R5 or 6 subjects is 15.
Of course, there were people who did not do that well...
I almost cried when I called my parents. I messaged my tuition teacher too. Some friends and I wanted to go out to celebrate. In the end, we ate ice-cream at Swensens's.
This year, there were 2 students who got 7 As. Our school seemed to be the only school that allow us to return in home clothes. It was great not to wear school uniforms seeing as we were already ex-students.
Now to choose my the course I wanted...
Till next time~
Thank you

Before O lvls result

The time has come. Today, at 2pm, we will be getting our O levels results. The wait is finally over.
I hope to post my good news online...My aim for my L1R4 is between 10-14 points, and to pass my A maths. That's all.
I'm really nervous now...

Back to school...not

It's back to school for most students. Another year has started...
But I won't be joining them. It's great, of course. The feeling is indescribable. Almost 10 years of studies, just for this long period of break. I guessed it's sort of worth it.
It seemed a long time since I wore a uniform and school shoes. I think I would have forgot my school work for now.
There is so much to say but it's hard to put them into words.
Guess I'll just leave it here...
Work hard everyone

Countdown to 2008

Left home at 6+ to pick my brothers and cousins at my cousins' house. The car was packed full, of course. 7 people in a 5 seater car. Reached Raffles place to park the car and met up with my uncle, aunties and 1 more cousin. Went to have dinner at Sakae Sushi and were lucky to wait only a few minutes for a table for 11 people.
After a hearty meal, we went to catch National Treasure Book of Secrets at 9.40. It was quite a good movie. Towards the end of the movie, people started leaving. We too, left in order to have time to walk towards Marina Bay and catch the fireworks display. Both sides of the pathways were chock-full of all kinds of people. Teenagers, tourists, foreign workers, families like us all waiting for the moment to welcome 2008.
Luckily, we had a good spot, right in front of the fireworks, though we are on the other side. This year's fireworks display was magnificent! Pink, purple, blue, red, green lit up the night sky. Yellow flowers too. Gold sparks lingered in the air. Everyone cheered when the 1st firework was shot up into the sky. It was a good 8 minutes of display.
After that, chaos began. The pathways were sardine-packed. The worst thing was when some people started spraying those party ribbons and foam. I hated those stuff. Since there were fencing and barricades to prevent people from crossing the road, we had to detour.
But in the end many people including us, crossed the road anyway. The fencing were already pushed down by the sheer number of people. We climbed over the barricades in the middle of the road. Good thing I was not wearing a skirt. All in good time, we reached our cars and bade goodbye to each other. It was a fun day.
I hope that next time we can book a hotel room or two to catch the display as the view will be better and we will be more comfortable.
A great year aheads!

Christmas at Bintan

Woke up very early on 24th Dec. We were leaving for Bintan in the morning. The sea was quite calm and so the ferry ride was smooth. We would be staying in one of the villas at Bintan Lagoon Resort. My father, aunties and uncle were going golfing and since we couldn't check in yet, the rest of us went to the poolside. This was the first time in so many months that I last stepped into a pool. It was a good day, perfect for sun-bathing. We played in the pools for a while and swam.
Soon, it was time to check in. I was really tired and took a nap in the afternoon. My cousins and brothers played board games and decorated the whole place for the Christmas party at night. At 4+, the golfers returned. After dinner, it was time to celebrate. All of us took part in the games that my auntie prepared. Time passes slowly. The last game was what got everybody going, the grand prize being a PSP. It was supposed to be like a lucky draw. In the end, much to everyone's disappointment, the PSP set went back to my auntie who originally sponsored it. We also exchanged presents.
At last, we lit up the candle-formed Christmas tree and sang. It was well over 1+am, before we went to sleep.
The next day, after breakfast, we sang along Christmas songs. After lunch, we proceeded to the beach then to the leisure centre. I played beach volley with the adults, excluding my mother. We were picking up the ball more than actual playing. Now I got bruises on my hands. I played billiard with my cousins and brothers. The adults were playing table-tennis. In the evening, we went out of the resort to have dinner and massage. We arrived back to the villa a few hours later.
Went to poolside again after a late breakfast. It was a cloudy day so I did not manage to tan much. The golfers went golfing again. Not too long, it was time to check out. My cousins, brothers and auntie and I went to the billiard room to play snooker and billiard. Our ferry left at 4+pm, although it was rainy, the waters was not that choppy.
Have a Merry Christmas

Christmas nostalgia

It's that time of the year to look back at the time pass by.
The year 2007 has been bittersweet, more sweet than bitter, of course. I can say that I've a great year in school, given that this is my last year in secondary school. I can almost say that I missed school already, which is something coming from me. I treasured those days very much.
However, this year also proves to be a trying year. It's the O levels for me. I "suffered" a lot. I felt depressed, hopeless over this. I even cried just before going for exams.
But all these had past. Memories, be them good or bad were history. Sure, I missed my class, friends, teachers and even my school but I won't want to turn back time. Christmas nostalgia, indeed.
On a further note, I've always wanted to celebrate Christmas at a bigger scale. For example, going to Christmas parties or just window shopping at Orchard Road, not that I like the crowds. I guessed this will probably happen when I'm older. There's plenty of time for that.
This year, I won't be in Singapore celebrating Christmas. I will be away in Bintan with my family and relatives. I'm not exactly thrill about this. For one, Bintan is quite the boring place. Furthermore, there is nothing much to do there.
This year, I made a silver Christmas wreath tied with red ribbons. It was the least I could do. I also took time to wrap presents for my cousins. Wrapping presents is what I like and enjoy.
God Jul to all!e

I've been wanting to put up these photos for a long time. It's been about a week since my return and I miss Hokaiddo everyday.

Some of these photos are so real that they look fake. I tried to arrange them according to the time taken but it was a difficult task to do. As a result, some of the photos were jumbled up. Furthermore, there was just too many photos for me to put them online. So these were some of the "best" ones.

Regardless, enjoy the picture-perfect Hokaiddo!

Hokkaido, Tokyo, Japan trip 2007

26th Nov:

Stayed at home all day to do last minute packing. After dinner, We left for Changi Airport Terminal 1 in a maxi cab. The flight to Tokyo was about 6 hours long. There were small TV screens on the ANA plane but I didn't watch any movies.

27th Nov:

Reached the airport in the morning. Boarded the bus to Hanade Airport to take the flight to Hokkaido. Upon arrival, we went to have a seafood lunch. It was really delicious. There were miso soup, hairy crab and other types of seafood. We then went to sample some chocolates. The melon chocolates with almonds were really good, though I didn't buy them.

We travelled for 4 hours, the road became icy, snowflakes started falling. The farm houses and the background with its mountains and bare trees looks picture-perfect. It gives a rustic feeling and was totally different from Singapore.

We reached Tokachigawa Daiichi Hotel in the evening. Before dinner, I tried out the 'onsen' or known as hot spring, the water is rich in minerals absorbed from vegetation. This is the only place in Japan that has it. It was an experience to remember. There were different kinds of shampoo, body gel, facial wash in there. After the hot spring, refreshed yourself with the hair-dryers, moisturiser and lotion available. I tried out both the indoor and outdoor pools. The outdoor pool was better. It was cold and hot at the same time.

We put on the 'yukata' and enjoyed seafood dinner. When my cousins and I went up to our room. Our 'tatami' were already done. We will be sleeping on the floor. Quite the experience.

28th Nov:

After buffet breakfast, we took a photo stop at a lake. We fed the swans and ducks too. We stop-by at the Oketo Wood Craft Centre next. There are handmade woodcraft made by artists in Oketo town. Most of them are kitchenware and made of oak, pine and birch. We then went to the Winery shop where the adults can get to sample white wine and plum wine. I did drink a little. We also saw the making of wine. The wine chocolates were nice.

We had lunch at a small shop. The bowl had 2 sides. 1 contains soba, the other contains rice with tempura. After that, the fox farm was next. The foxes were really furry and cute. We continued the journey to Sounkyo, a hot spring resort located at the foot of Mt. Daisetsu, or big snow mountain. It was coldest that day. There was strong wind and snowfall. We went to the hot spring before dinner. I too went to the indoor and outdoor pools. The outdoor pool was different from the 1st one. This time, snowflakes were falling on our heads while our bodies were immersed in the hot pool.
My brothers and cousins built a snowman outside the hotel. They also had snowball fight with my uncles. It was really fun though I did not join in. It was a wish come true for all.

29th Nov:

I woke up at 5+ to go the the hot spring again. The buffet breakfast consisted mostly of traditional Japanese fare so I did not eat much. We visited the Sounkyo Gorge. The 2 waterfalls there had became icefalls. The snow was so thick. It was so cold there even gloves and boots could not withstand it. The scenery was as usual, picturesque.

We travelled to the charming town of Otaru. It was a lovely place, some called it romantic. I found it a little like Venice, with its canal, old shop-houses that sell glassware and music box. I bought many small souvenirs and took many pictures. The chocolates and milk ice-cream were also famous there. Some of us tried out the 6-flavour ice-cream in a cone. The steamboat lunch was great. One of my uncles ordered a spider crab to share. Its taste was different from other crabs.

We then proceeded to Sapporo. We went to a underground shopping mall where I bought a skirt. We took pictures with the Sapporo TV tower, which looks like a mini Eiffel tower. There were Christmas lights on the trees and decorations. We went to a discount shop and bought all the White Lover chocolates. The White Lover brand was famous in Hokkaido and it was only sold in Hokkaido. I bought 2 boxes to distribute to my friends next year.

After the BBQ dinner which was great because of the Kobe beef. Its taste was different from other meat and it was really tender. It was supposed to be cheaper here than other places. We checked in at Keio Plaza Hotel Sapporo. It was the nicest and grandest hotel throughout our trip. Our room was the biggest.

30th Nov:

After buffet breakfast, which was one of the best, we proceeded to Ainu Village. After the performance by some Ainu people, we went to feed the bears and Ainu dogs. Next stop was Mt Showa, an active volcano. It was sprouting smoke. We then journey to see the bears at the bear ranch. The bears will wave if you fed them apples. We stopped by Lake Toya before going to Hakodate. Our hotel was Daiwa Royal Hotel and there was hot spring inside too. As usual, it was hot spring before dinner.

1st Dec:

Went to the hot spring 1 last time and at the same time, bath. We then went to the Hakodate morning market. The whole place are people selling fresh seafood. There's live squids, sea urchins, abalones, king crabs, etc. My auntie bought a sea urchin to try. I didn't dare to eat it, but they said it was quite nice.I did try out the cooked abalone though. Some other people from our tour fished for squids in a tank and ate them live.

We then took the flight to Tokyo. Tokyo was not as cold as Hokkaido. We visited the Asakusa Kannon Temple, followed by a walk through Nakamise Shopping Street. There were lots of people.We ate our 1st Chinese meal in so many days. We checked in at Loisir Hotel.

2nd Dec:

We all parted here. Everyone in this tour had decided to stay on and extend their stay in Japan. Since we wanted to arrive early at Disneyland, we woke up very early in the morning to eat breakfast before going to there via subway. Our tour guide had very kindly helped us take our luggage to our hotel. The ride was long and tiring. It was stuffy and full of people. We had to change 3 times of train before reaching Disneyland. We wanted to go DisneySea though. The quenes were so long. Time past so fast, I only played 2 games while my cousins played 4. We stayed on to the road show and left before the fireworks as we were scared of the crowds leaving after the show. We saw the fireworks display at the JR station. It was beautiful, colourful and special. We checked in at Shinagawa Prince Hotel.

3rd:

Woke up late. Cousins, brothers, uncles and aunties wanted to go to Shinjuku, a fashion place. I didn't want to go because we need to take the subway again. I went to the many shopping centres around Prince hotel instead with my parents and grandparents. We then waited for the others to return. We left for Narita Airport at 1+. The journey took about 2 hours. We checked in our luggage and went in to do last minute shopping. The plane left for Changi Airport. It touchdown at 12.10am, Tuesday morning. I did not sleep till 3am. Home sweet home.

Summary:

I did not have any regrets joining this tour. The tour guide is funny and a good entertainer. There's free gifts. Everything is new to us, the scenery is prefect. I love Hokkaido for its chocolates, seafood, ice-cream, hot springs and most importantly, snow. It was everybody's greatest wish to see snow falling. Our wish had came true. My cousins made snow angels and snowman and had snow ball fight. Here, they are more generous in helping, whole chocolates as samples and free drinks. The people are really friendly too. They will wave to us when we leave. We also learnt more about Japan and its people. Hokkaido is a picture-perfect place even in the winter, where all the trees are bare.

Ramblings

What bad luck...to think that there's something wrong with my computer at this point of time...
I'm leaving on Monday for Japan. Why did the computer choose this time to "breakdown"? Actually, the hard drive was sent for upgrading, but it still meant that I can't go online. Sigh...
It's been about 3 days since I last used the computer. What do I do during this time? Just laze around and sleep. I haven't even started on intense training for my maplestory character yet. I've said before, after my Os, I'm going to train my character. More than 1 week had past and I didn't do anything.
Let's get to more important stuff...
I will be leaving for Japan with my family and relatives on 26th Nov. I think I will be back before 5th Dec. Hope to have lots of fun and take plenty of photos which I will post them online. Wish there will be snow too!
Of course, let me get back the hard drive by tonight...It's better to use that than my father's laptop.

Prom nite

Wednesday:
I met 2 friends at Causeway Point. We were going to look for shoes, then me and my friend were going for manicure. It was quite an experience for me. I did the french manicure with nail art on my thumbs. It was too much to pay if I did nail art on every finger. The outcome was a little strange, my brother said it looked "Gothic". My base was a shimmering light blue with black tip. I liked my thumbs best. We were sitting there for more than an hour waiting for our nails to dry. The next time I'll do this will probably be my next prom. It is just too expensive.
Thursday:
Our big day! A group of us met at my friend's house 1st. Some of them wanted to style their hair and put on make-up. I only put on eye-shadow, mascara, and lip-gloss. I wore a blue dress with diamond necklace and bracelet as accessories. We took photos before we went. Everybody looked really good. At 6pm, a friend's father came to take us to the hotel. We reached there quite early, though many people were already there.
One of my friends got nominated for prom queen. We were saying we'll vote for her if there's voting. Dinner was supposed to start at 7pm, but in the end we only got into the ballroom at 8pm. Some girls dressed elegantly while some guys from other classes dressed in a "hip-hop style". Our table was all the way to the back.
I took a look at the menu, and was surprised to note that there were prawns and fish among the dishes. I didn't expect that. There were some games going on while we dined, but we didn't participate. The dishes were alright, I supposed. I ate quite little.
My friend got 3rd place for prom queen. At 10.30pm, the prom had came to an end. Many people went around taking pictures throughout the night. I took quite a few myself.
Some friends wanted to go K-box but I was going home by 12+. In the end, the guys and us walked all the way from Holiday Inn Park View to Cineleisure Orchard. The girls were complaining about their feet. I had a few blisters too and they really hurt. The price for K-box was too high, and so we didn't went in. Furthermore, there were no movie screenings at that time. Even if we watched, the timing will be too long. After much delay, we didn't do anything at all. The guys went for their movie with a few girls while the 5 of us went home by taxi.
I reached home at 12.30 and had to call my father down. That was the reason I had to go home "early".
I could not sleep though. Regardless of some unexpected circumstances, the evening went quite smoothly. I had a great time.
Happy holidays~

Biology MCQ

Woohoo! Final paper down!
It's the end of O lvls! Yay!
Wow! Time sure flies. I still remembered at the beginning of the year, our teachers were always reminding us about the Os, about how we must study hard because the Os determine our future...Now, our teachers told us how glad they were for us, if the papers were alright of course.
Well, I can't say if I'm really happy now that the Os are over. There are greater things to worry about...sign...
Sure, there will be no more mugging, but now my parents are bugging me about finding a job. I'm not saying I will not find a job, it's just that at least let me have some time to enjoy my newfound freedom before I go back to my cage again. Truth be told, I would rather be a student than to work. Whatever...when the time comes, I'll do something about it.
Now that the Os is over, I really should have fun with what is left of my secondary school life, which is soon going to be history. I'm already considered an ex-student of my secondary school.
Memories, be they pleasant or unpleasant, will all be in the past. What matter most, is now.
So, I will have fun hanging out with my friends and really enjoy the upcoming prom.
Back to Biology MCQ. Most of the questions were alright. There were about 5 questions that I'm not too sure. Thank goodness I changed some answers in the end, because I think those were the correct ones.
Everything has come to an end...

Saturday

I had a great time shopping at Vivo city last Saturday. I was the one who spent the most money. I bought a pair of boots and a bag from U.R.S, a dress from Series and a winter coat from Winter Time.
The dress and bag are for the prom. My feet were killing me after a while as I was wearing heels. So, my prom stuff were already all settled, except my hair and manicure.
The boots and coat are for the trip to Hokkaido, Japan at the end of this month. I'm looking forward to this trip. It is going to be extremely cold, or so I heard. Almost everthing is prepared already. Ths trip cost lots of money...My coat alone costed $129, my boots $89.90.
I will take lots of photos there and maybe post them online.
But coming up is Biology MCQ!
All the other classes were already done with their Os. All that's left is us...
Let's have a grand finale!

Shopping with friends

On Wednesday, I went out to Orchard area with some friends to shop for prom stuff. We went to Far East 1st. As we were window shopping, we saw another group of girls from our class. Coincidentally, another group of girls were also shopping at Far East. It must be a good day out.
We went to so many stores, yet none of the dresses caught our eyes. I just found them not suitable for prom. Though our prom dress code is smart casual, which is supposed to be easier to find suitable clothes, it is more difficult than I thought.
We went to Wisma Atria afterwards. We were getting really tired and stopped for a rest at Ngee Ann City. My stomach hurts from all that walking and my feet were killing me.
We continued our journey to The Heeren. Since 2 friends were going home already, we decided to take Neoprint. I did not know that it cost $10 to take Neoprint nowadays. That's how long since I stepped into a Neoprint shop. It was so stressed to take Neoprints. There was a time limit to every shot. Again, we saw a group of guys from our school shopping. Everyone must have been worrying about prom?
The 4 of us then went to eat dinner. We were complaining about how we went to so many stores and yet did not even buy a thing. I reached home at 9pm. I had a great time hanging out with my friends.
I guess I will be going to Series to buy my dress. I hope the design that I want, is still in season.
Till next time

Combined science MCQ

Today's MCQ was still ok, I supposed. Some of them were tricky though. I do hope that I understood the questions and gave the answers according to what they require. I had some questions in the chemistry component that I got wrong. I hoped that's all.
Right, so now all's left is Biology MCQ. Though O levels is not officially over, the written papers were all done. The "highly anticipated" O levels has come and gone. The O levels that made me cry is finally ending. I can't describe this feeling...
On to bigger and happier stuff. One more week to prom night. Tomorrow, I'll be going shopping with some friends. I only need a dress now, the shoes and accessories are already settled. Then next week, I will be cutting my hair and doing manicure. Really looking forward to this. Can't wait to see how everyone looks.
A load off my heart...

Biology, social studies

What the...The biology was so tough today. I did the essays first, they were still alright. Then when I turned back to the front page, I was stunned. All the questions were so difficult! A lot that required in-depth thinking and writing short essays. It is totally different from what I expected.
To say I underestimated it, was an understatement. We did not even went through those type of questions in class. I'm going to die. Goodbye to A2...This was the not the "grand" finale I expected. Why do they torture us so? To set the biology together with the social studies paper was already going to the extreme, yet they still did this to us...
Why aren't we given some leeway? I'm not counting my biology in my L1R4 afterall. I always thought that my biology is not that bad, but it seems I was wrong from the start. I really felt like crying during the paper. I felt so helpless.
Who would have thought that biology would be my downfall? It was the last thing on my mind. So now, I'm left with 5 subjects to count for my L1R4.
Combined humanities should be alright, I hoped. When I did the SEQ, I was so happy that the theme I focused on came out. Hooray! I studied 3 themes, but then decided to focus on just one dued to the time constraint. Thank goodness, it came out.
SBQ was a little difficult. I did not know how to do the last 2 questions.
I worked so hard for it, only to have it go to naught.
Seeking solace in the virtual world...

Physics

I was really flustered over the physics paper today. That's before the paper, but when doing the paper, I had no emotions at all. It was kinda alright. I remembered the formulas and notes quite well. There was this question about refraction that I did not know how to do. The other questions were ok.
Actually, physics is easy. Just apply the formulas correctly and you should do well. For me, well, it was a chore. No matter how I study, I can't get them in my head. Anyway, it's over! I guessed I won't take up physics or related subjects in the future.
I made a real stupid mistake though. I wrote that people should wear lead shields and helmets when handling radioactive materials. The answer should have been thick lead shields are used to cover radioactive materials. Ahhh...
Never mind then.
4 more papers to go. Hooray!
