Comfort "food"

I love the phrase “comfort food.” It speaks of the things that are so good, so familiar, so right, that they can always bring a smile to your face. For me, comfort food usually includes some form of beef and potatoes. Hamburgers and French fries. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravy. Also, chocolate in almost any form imaginable. These are the foods that speak to me and say that all is well with the world. (I’m not saying they’re the most healthy!)
Unfortunately, all is not well with the world, and no amount of hamburgers and French fries can make it right. Real comfort is not the byproduct of specific foods any more than it is the result of alcohol or drugs or money or pleasure or power. It is a much deeper need that requires a much deeper solution.
Paul told the church at Rome that the search for comfort can begin in the pages of the Bible. He wrote, “Whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope” (Rom. 15:4).
God has given us His Word to draw us to Himself. Through a relationship with Him, He provides the comfort we need to live in a broken world. — Bill Crowder

Water Treatment

The bacteria growth is negligible.... after chlorine is used to kill the bacteria in the muddy water....

Tuesday 19th 2008

The smell of the fermented corn was terrible. The rest of the microrganism are also growing. Hence the terrible smell. Nonetheless, some students managed to distill out the alcohol from the mixture of corn, alcohol and water. Had a tiring but fun day.

Science Talent Management Programme 2008

Science Talent Management Programme 2008 is a collaboration of our school, Chai Chee Secondary with Bedok Green and Bedok South Secondary. Every Tuesday, 5 students from Chai Chee, together with me, learn Science together. So far, we have made yoghurt, extract ethanol from corn and cleaned muddy water. The students will then return to school to teach the rest of the Lower Secondary classes as a post exam activity. More stories to come....
