Hello! Second day of school after march holidays and things have started to move on nicely. School started late at 8.10am today but i still reached school at the normal time which is around 6.50. You can say that its very stupid of me going to school so early when school starts late but i rather have a ride on my parents car than to take the bus in the morning. So with so much spare time in school, i took a walk around school compound. Morning walk as Winston would say. I walked to the cage and WOW! IT WAS OPEN! Wei Liang was the one who opened it. Decided that since its open, i would go get my bag and come back up again. It was early and i had alot of time to mess around with the sound portion of the cage, my favourite part. Added a delay of 44.24ms to the rear speakers. I got 44.24ms from a equation that used the distance between the 2 speakers and the speed at which sound travelled. The result is better coherence between the 2 speaker. No more double image. So assembly is the same.

This day was very very boring. There were no lessons till 11.50am. What was there to do? Nothing but slack, stone and rot. Went to the sports complex and looked around. Berdnard, Shern Shern, Jin Zhe and this funny malay guy, who wants me to call him sexy, were gyming. Stayed on till it was around time. Before the lecture started, i took a trip to the library. Met my new class mates over there and talked to them for awhile.

Well, lectures were kind of all right for me but the good thing is school ended at 1.10pm. Quickly went home and I met Wei Jie on the way. We were talking about so much stuff like cars, taxis, aircraft, and more and more. Then i reached home.

Woah i tell you, i did ALOT of housework today. ALOT for me that is. Started with the toilets. The toilets grew dirtier day by day until i could not take it anymore. Flushed everything down with high pressure water and scrubed the toilet bowl till it was clean. The shower point area was the most disgusting part with all the hair stuck at the drainage pipe. Used tissue to wipe it up and then flushed it down the toilet bowl. Washed the common toilet and my master bedroom's toilet. Then after washing, i decided it was time to re-position my speakers. Removed them from their current positions and then started to think. I tried using maths to calculate the toe in angle for the speakers but it sort of failed. so in the end i settled with a slight toe in, which i totally did not know what angle it is, and this time i made it a point that both the speakers were toeing in at the same angle and their distance from the rear wall was the same. The result? Well initial listening is quite pleasant with the highs at the right place and the centre stage being more prominent. However, i felt that the bass became more boomy. Not very sure of my initial listenings cause i believe that it may be of a psychological effect cause i put in so much effort. Imagine using rulers and sticking tape on the floor to mark then shift the speaker here and there. After re-positioning the speakers, i had to sweep the floor cause it was super dusty after i re-positioned them. The main stuff that i swept up were loads of strands of hair. Finally, the last thing i did was to clean my fan. It was so dusty that the fan had a hard time blowing out air.

I saw this video somewhere showing mythbuster. It was an episode about subwoofers and they were trying to see if will a subwoofer destroy a car. I love it! The way they built a subwoofer, its insane. All metal with only rubber as its surround. They did not use amplifiers but instead they used the engine's transmission to push it up and down. It measured 51 inch across and its really insane! They powered it and yes it works. It produced a frequency of 16hz at a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 160+dB. Thats VERY VERY LOUD and it VERY VERY LOW frequency. Imagine this, normal hearing frequency for a human is 20hz to 20000hz and 160+dB is as if a jet engine is at full blast just over ur head. The slow motion of the 51 inch woofer flexing is just super awesome. However, the car did not explode or shatter to pieces, so myth busted.
