PMR Results...

Ok... Things tipped of when news announced 27th will be the date of... Hell? Well... PMR results... Everything seems normal, cause some are still in outstation, some in holiday mooed, some even in overseas! Until the PMR results eve, yup, started receiving loads of smsses about friends worrying about their results, (Even those top students). I was like not worrying at all, cause I already expect NO A for chinese. So i just don't care. I'm aiming straight but it won't reach dy. I saw their messages (Those messages really get me worried about my results). What you expect... Haiz... Cause if they worried i'll be more worried. But still, not much influence. Haha. Slept at 5 am. (My original plan was gotta accompany a friend, you know, those type of "result phobia" ones, cause they just can't sleep (And I normally sleep late)...



Next day, awakened by a phone ring... It was about 10.15 And you know what? Some already reached there! I was like... what the..? The results will be announced by 11am, and the're just so early! I don't know why, I not feeling like getting my results. Watched TV till 10.30 then played a game of Red Alert (Easy enemy with superweapons on only la), then we shoot off. The area was congested like... Don't worry, my father went for double parking, (Cause others already double parked and arranged till like... so straight! Haha.. If MBPJ come and write ar saman, they will earn big money...) I actually went in first... I headed straight to hall and it's really really a mess! So many people's around and so noisy and.... bla... bla... bla... I saw my classmates (Thanks to Sathya, eventually I saw Sathya first, he is tall enough to let me see between heads, haha...) So I headed straight there, then there comes lin... "Everyone took dy... You got straight la...", I was like... "What?". (At first I thought she was too happy until mad dy, jumping here and there haha... Cause she got over her BM...) Well, still got quite a lot of people not yet take their results, managed to squeze through them... Then one by one, saw them laughed, screamed (I don't know normal mic can take their extreme-high frequency or not), hugged, cheered... Nah, it just looks never ending... And those are more to girls ok? Cause most guys dy taken earlier. Lol... I was asking nearly every guy that passed by and was like all got straight! And I am the one that still don't know my result... (But aother few people did noted me that I got straight... zzz...) Then it was my turn, teacher just flipped through the papers and found my name... Well... Teoh Jia Xian... That's my name... (And did she purposely cover the grades part?), she handle the piece of paper to me... I straight away look at the bottom of the paper... "A!"... Wah... the feeling was... "mixed feelings"... Happy, relieved, (A bit disappointed with my expectations, as I expect BCina bye bye..." Haha... After my father knew my results he's like going to pavillion... Then... I think he talked to the phone about half an hour I think... But certanly it was not about constructions... I wandered around with Sui Wu... Haha... Well, some cried, some smile, some hug like... Some... Hold on... Some is queuing to buy exercise books at book store! Haha... Walau... Just took result then so fast prepare to go F 4 meh, don't scare me le... Went to the board section to see my sis next year class... Quite angry to see my sis in balau altough she got 5/7A's lo... Cause I got 7 last time and was in Jati!!! Haha... Then... Then nothing dy la... Go back la... Then sms like... Credit from RM15+ cut till left RM5. Haha...

Hmm, actually this is just parts of life.... Like what one of my friend said to me: "Straight A's or not we still need to continue our life..." If not mistaken. Yup... Its a point, (low or high doesn't matter) of life. Its not a point that makes you stops, nor a point that makes you end your life (Like a UPSR girl did so). Just take this point as reference, to advance forward. And, media did emphasis much on great and highly graded student, but remember, the student getting "E" for this year is still increasing... They do need our help too... As a friend thats caring, we are needed to play our role in society too... (What am I talking bout? Lol...)

Anyway, choz...

A toast for christmas!

Hold on... I don't have champagne for you... I actually got a toaster to dismantle... Haha... Since I received quite a lot of comments about my looooooong post. I will try shortening it... Ohya... sorry for didn't update my blog for so long... Seems a bit busy with some tuition on... (And it can become really life threatening when he/she wants to check your answer)... Some more my phone gone for a "wash"... Caused me about 3 weeks without phone which was... extremely annoying to change my sim card between my sister's and mine... (Nearly spoiled the phone as well, but she will hope so, she wants something like Nokia Xpressmusic phone) Finally got my phone back and now... Ok already la... So to some people who knows about this even earlier, kindly "resume" from "limited sms mode" to "normal mode", thanks. Lol. And hey, I checked out the Courts Mutiara Damansara and guess what? To get a don't know what brand or type phone, you gotta bring an ice cream cone and line up from 10pm to 8am. For the first 100 contestants, you will received a handphone for free... (Don't worry, some even bring their sleeping bags there, but don't ask me whether they went on the floor with people stepping on them) Anyway, I am back for the post...


Ok... Where should I start... Toaster huh? Have some picture of it first... Its a small one, very small one... Cornell CTO-2 oven.






So what's my aim? The main thing that does not function is the heater... Cause I actually done the testing and the light lit up for every wire except after passing through the heating element. And thus shows the only reason for this seldom used oven to slip in spoiled condition.
Heating element is inside some parallel holed metal casing. Its located above and below the tray.


So... Opened some screws and finally found a Torx screw that is impossible to be removed by normal screwdrivers... Had no choice and guess what I did...
It's not easy to bend it ok, I took nearly 20 minutes just to bend the cover... As it is hooked to the housing (You can see something sticking out from the removed cover)... Sharp edges nearly cut my fingers...



Inside view... Green-Yellow wire to the housing to ground off... Brown wire to the timer and output to the temperature "controller" and using yellow wire towards the heating element. It's connected in series and the electric flow through the second element which is located below and then connected to the neutral wire...



A view from another side that proves the series circuit theory.




The heating element seems nice with cover, but not without it... It's just a thin-twisted nichrome wire messing around...

So what I got from this oven is... The timer, which can hold function up to 15 min, a plug with fuse of course, and another free heating element, i don't know when i will use this again, but just keep it somewhere... Lol...

Hey, late dy wei, A 1994 Seagate hard disk from a old laptop coming up for next post, if possible...
