Dear friends, kalau korang pernah jenjalan ke sana, boleh kongsikan bersama di sini...Sambil Liza google2, bleh dpt info drp kawan2 :

1. Kami akan bertolak 25 Dec (Sabtu) dan balik pada 28 Dec (Selasa).

2. Transportation : Kereta ke Johor dan public transport ke Singapura.

2. Kami peruntukkan 2 hari max ke Singapura and the rest akan berada di Kota Tinggi dan JB.

3. One MUST place to go ialah USS.

4. Yang lain belum pasti sebab tak tau jalan.

Benda ni berlegar-legar di minda,

1. Dari Johor ke USS naik apa? Tune Hotel JB (Call : 0133861001) ada offer shuttle bus ke USS, sangat murah tapi belum decide dgn my hubby.

2. Kalau naik bas dari Johor, berhenti kt town, but then camna nak access ke Universal Studio? Berhenti kat stesen apa?

3. Apa tempat-tempat menarik yang dekat-dekat antara satu sama lain, so that boleh cover percutian dalam satu hari jer...

Percutian kami ni dikira budget destination. Walau budget sikit, masih nak berjalan. Yang penting ingin mengambil pengalaman, biar luas pandangan...

If u are planing go to USS, they provide shutle bus from MRT station (forget which MRT station) to sentosa island where USS is located.Have a good journey there:); 23 December, 2010

BABY(MAMA AMANA&ARIEF) said...: bestla jalan2... tak de duit lebih waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa; 23 December, 2010
ayu said...: dear liza,
meh nak cerita sikit tentang travel ke USS by public transport ye..

klu naik bas dari JB ke sana, ayu tak sure berhenti kat mana..tapi , klu dari kl ke singapore akan stop kat golden mile complex.. situ naik cab mmg senang..tapi, agak mahal la juga..

so, better naik MRT..cari MRT terdekat.. so, tuju ke arah Harbourfront.. dari Harbourfront plak, berjalan sikit ke Vivocity Mall n naik Sentosa Ekspress untuk ke USS , turun kat Resort world.. Sentosa ekspress ni pergi 3 tempat je, Resort World (USS), Imbiah Lookout & Beach..

kalau nak jalan2 ke tempat lain plak, ayu cdgkan ke Arab Street n Bugis Street.. AS mmg syurga kain pasang..mmg murah2 gak..BS plak ala2 Petaling Street, so souveniar kat sana mmg murah2.. tak pergi Orchard Road n Geylang, tapi kawan2 yg pergi pun kata kat sana mmg murah..

juz sedikit nasihat daripada ayu, kalau nak bertanya direction, dapat cari org melayu lagila bagus daripada cari org cina singapore..diaorg tak frendly..& agak sombong...

detail ttg apa yg menarik di USS, liza boleh tengok kat blog ayu ye...enjoy betul2 kat sana ye dear..mmg best sgt222222222.... harap2 liza boleh sampai awal pagi (buka pukul 10 supaya boleh lama lagi di sana..); 23 December, 2010

btw, akak rase selamat ke pegi during chinese new year..???; 18 September, 2011
Liza said...: Wawa, kalau nak p time cuti, kena ptrepare awal2 tiket USS (kalau nak masuk la) sbb mmg chinese new year ramai org... Better beli dr 3 bulan awal la... bab selamat ke tak, kena sentiasa hati2, kat mana2 pun ada risikonya..; 18 September, 2011
wawa wadzir said...: ouh...okay cmtu...okay2..pngangkutan kat singapore..better gune public transport or kereta sewa..?? budget kami ciput jer..hehe; 18 September, 2011
Liza said...: Wawa, akak bukan expert pun psl Singapore ni. Tu first time p.. Kalau nak save budget, better guna public transport sbb MRT dia dah systematik. Tak risau hujan ke hapa sebab semuanya berbumbung / tunnel.; 20 September, 2011

Why There Is No Change in Temperature During Melting? Yong

One experiment has been carried out to investigate the specific heat capacity and latent heat of water during heating process. The students observed that the temperature is kept constant during phase change, whereby the temperature showed 0 celcius for a few minutes until all the ice melted. They thought that something went wrong in their experiment. So they asked me. These are my explanation :

During the phase change of a solution, it is the ice that is undergoing the phase change. When a phase change occurs, as in the melting of a solid, the thermal energy goes into separating the molecules, "breaking the intermolecular attractions", so to speak, (hydrogen bonds, in the case of water), and not into changing the temperature of the solution. That is why the temperature constant at melting as well as boiling. The energy is used to weaken the molecular bond, has to work against the atmospheric pressure and used to separate the intermolecular bond between the solvent.

Why Alternating Current Is Used in Transformer, not Direct Current? : Haris Fikri

One student asked why ac is used in trandformer, not direct current? Actually, we can ask how does transformer work? Ron Kurtus explained inFeb 2009 as :

A transformer is an electrical device that is used to change the voltage in alternating current (AC) electrical circuits.

The fact that the potential energy can be readily changed from one voltage to another through the use of a transformer is a major advantage of AC electricity over direct current (DC). AC transformers can change power line high voltages to house current voltage. They also are used to change the voltage from house current to that used by low voltage devices. Often the AC in these small transformers or adapters is also changed to DC.

Basic principles of transformers

A transformer combines several major characteristics of electricity and magnetism to change AC voltages. First of all, you need to know the principles for creating an electromagnet and creating electricity.

Creating an electromagnet

A wire with DC electric current flowing through it has a magnetic field around it. Placing a compass near a wire and observing the needle move when the DC current is turned on can demonstrate this.
By wrapping the wire around a piece of iron, the magnetic field is increased many times due to the realignment of the iron atoms, each which acts as a tiny magnet. The iron core and wire wrapping is called an electromagnet.

Relation to voltage

The greater the current through the wire the greater the strength of the electromagnetic field. Since voltage and current are proportional for a given resistance, according to Ohm's Law V = IR, the strength of the electromagnetic field is proportional to the voltage used. Double the voltage and you double the strength of the electromagnet.

Relation to turns of wire

The greater the number of turns around the iron core the greater the strength of the electromagnet. The strength is approximately proportional to the number of turns. Triple the number of turns and you triple the strength of the electromagnet.(Experiment idea: measure the change of strength of an electromagnet by changing the voltage and/or number of turns.)

Direction of magnetism

The direction of the magnetic field is determined by the direction of the current and the direction of the turns around the iron core. If you change the direction of the current, the north and south poles of the electromagnet will switch.
With DC electricity, you must physically change the wires to change the direction of the current. With AC electricity, the direction changes with each cycle.
Thus, one end of an AC electromagnet is switching from north to south and back again 60 times per second in the U.S. or 50 times per second in some other countries.

Creating electricity

Electricity is created either when a wire is moved through a magnetic field or when a magnetic field is moved past a wire. Moving the magnetic field past the wire can be done by physically moving a magnet past the wire or by somehow changing the amount of the magnetic field.

Transforming the voltage

To transform or change the voltage of AC electricity, you use an AC electromagnet and the principles described above.

AC electromagnet

An AC electromagnet continually changes the direction of its magnetic field. This means the field goes from zero to N to zero to S and so on. If you would put an AC electromagnet near a wire, then the changing magnetic field should create a current in the wire.
Or better yet, why not wrap the wire around the iron core of the electromagnet? This is how a transformer works.

Transformer

A transformer can be a long piece of iron with wire having with AC current going through it and wrapped around the piece of iron near one end. It also has wire that creates electrical current wrapped around it at the other end. A more common configuration is a square or donut shaped iron core with the wire wrapping on both sides.

Transformer changes voltage

Output proportional to turns

The strength of the magnetic field is proportion to the input voltage and the number of turns around the core (called the primary coil). By reversing the rule, the output voltage is proportional to the strength of the changing magnetic field and the number of turns (called the secondary coil).
For example, if you wanted to increase your house voltage from 110 volts (110V) to 220V in order to power your electric stove, you could use a transformer with twice the turns in the secondary coil as in the primary coil.
