Balloon Bomb!!!

Yesterday i had the most interesting chemistry lecture.. The lecturer walked into the hall with two balloons and he tied it to something and let it float while he lectured.. i thought he brought the balloons just for fun until he asked the whole room whose birthday it was that day.. nobody admitted so a guy just volunteered. the lecturer gave him a candle on a stick that he lighted.. i was sooo blur as to wad was happening until this guy poked the candle at the balloon and "BOOOM!!" the balloon exploded into a flame ball and disintegrated!!! i was sooo shocked that time and the whole hall was just quiet in shocked silence.. then the guy poked the other balloon and it exploded as well.. later the lecturer explained that the balloon was filled with hydrogen and bla bla... i thought that was a really cool way to spice up the lectures.. haha.. wonder if malaysian secondary schools will have such fun teaching methods.. =P

Another thing was this bus ticket website. Its like watching the stock market when i tried to book the ticket and u know why?? the bus ticket prices keep changing like everytime i clicked refresh!! it changed from 1 dollar to 9 dollar to 19 dollars in just 5 minutes time!! so funny eh? then i spend about 30 mins refreshing the website to get the 1 dollar ticket but the time i wanted stayed at 19 bucks while the others fluctuated like crazy!! its just amazing eh how kiwis think... in the end i have to settle for the 9 dollar ticket.. haha...

that's all for now... till next time.. cheers!

if i'm not mistaken, it's helium in the balloon, not hydrogen. that's why it exploded...
