Marine Ecosystems -Coral Reef

Instead of a Koi pond or a fish tank.

How about a Coral Reef tank for the home.

Here are some tips on what a healthy coral reef need.

Below are some beautiful corals that I have taken.

These corals were kept in a fish tank.

Looks interesting and some of the corals are as pretty as the fishes.

Bewildering illusions

I have seen these illusions many times and still enjoy the

fascinating and sometimes bewildering effects.

The pictures below will show the effects and have fun.

Aging Illusion:

How will this young man look when he ages?

The picture is being turned 180 degrees around.

Talking Vase:

You could either perceive a vase or the profile of two faces.

The outline of the vase forms the outline of the two faces.

To see the faces, the black background becomes the figure

and the vase becomes the background.

Hidden Figures :

You should see the outline of 4 human figures formed by the contours of the 5 columns.

This is an instance of a figure ground illusion where the contours that

determine the subject and the background are ambiguous.

Standing alone.

Head on a Platter :

What is happening is ..

Mirrors positioned in front of the table reflect the images of the walls and floor,

creating an illusion that there is nothing underneath the table.

Hence you see a head without a body.

He enters from the back of the display.

Have you visited the Science Centre? INTERESTING!

Getting to know Stan : Our friendly Dinosaur

Love Kids

This is for them.

An update on Stan

It seems Stan has grown a meter taller.

June 2009

Getting to know Stan...

Just had lunch at MacDonalds.

Seemed to be in a hurry to go off.

Literally... eat and run.

Didn't like me standing so close…

Looks like it's about to stare down at me..

Showing off its teeth..

Not too friendly...huh!

Showed the right profile,

now the left profile..

OK! Got to go!

rushing off.

Anyway, he did say 'Hi!'

Read his lips.

Jingles

It was dark and the lightings were not good.

I could hear him clearer than I could see him.

Dinooooo

It was dark and I was introduced to Dinooooo


from the same 'farm'.

Hmmm, I prefer dogs.

This is another one.

The Stage

In the Botanic Garden besides the lush greenery and water fountains,

this prominent iconic feature has always been like music to my ears.

On a cool performance day, the place will transport one

to a relaxing, rejuvenating and rejoicing mood

surrounded by all that freshness.

I like the roof of this structure.

This beautiful roof looks like a gigantic bird wings.

It's the Symphony Stage.

The Shaw Foundation.

Melamine in Milk

Melamine in milk is indeed a serious matter.

It has caused thousands of babies in China to suffer from

acute kidney failure with some fatalities.

Can you imagine eating this instead of eating from this.

MELAMINE : is a SYNTHETIC polymer.

Its been used in whiteboards, floor tiles, kitchen wares (like these plates)

and for many industrial applications.

Melamine resin is also known as a thermoset plastic because

it becomes fixed after moulding.

Imagine swallowing that in any amount.

How devastating.

Melamine is difficult to recycle,

So how can we ever have such a toxic,

malignant substance in our food.

A word of CAUTION:

Melamine ware CANNOT be put into the oven and microwave oven.
