Making a rainbow

I recalled that in my secondary school I came across a science book from the school library that demonstrated a simple method of producing a rainbow without the need of using a prism. I tested out the method at that time and it worked, much to my amazement and joy. After so many years, I again tested out this method and it still worked! The 'created' rainbow showed itself on my kitchen wall as shown in Image 1. The method is very simple, simply get a basin of water and a mirror. Partially submerge the mirror, tilted at an angle, in the basin of water under sunlight. As the sunlight gets reflected by the mirror, refracted by the water and travelled out of the water, it will make a rainbow as the seven colours of white light travel at different speeds in water. Here are more methods under wikiHow : http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Rainbow. You have heard of wikipedia but probably not wikiHow : http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page.

Farm visit on 1 May 2008

Recently I visited a farm in Neo Tew Crescent (Near Kranji), it grows wheat grass, edible cactus, aloe vera, several types of mushrooms etc.
Here are some of the photos which I took :

At the bus stop outside Kranji MRT, there is this bus service known as Kranji Express which transports passengers to many farms at Kranji countryside (Neo Tew Road, Neo Tew Crescent etc). It operates from 9 am to 5 pm daily, including weekends and public holidays (it stops at the farm opposite Sungei Buloh Nature reserve as well)

George Washington's Rules of Civility

George Washington was United States first President. During the early eighteenth century when he was young, he copied out 110 Rules of Civility into a notebook. He took the rules seriously and practised them diligently with great self-discipline.

From the rules, you will find courtesy, respect, humility, morality etc, qualities and hallmarks of great men.
