Hey Kiev, 

-=> Quoting Kiev Lo to Jason Wong on 07-26-92  22:44 <=-


 KL> So 5 women and 5 men, huh?
 KL> Emm... okay, okay. I'm trying to get my mind out of the gutter...
 KL> ouch! it hurts! <HeHeHe>
Hey! One of them is already Married! Out of Bounds! But then, one of the
guys is already married too so that still leaves 4 and 4. I'll keep you 
informed. :] 
They all seem like very decent people, and WELL BEHAVED!!

 KL> BTW, the way you worded that sentence was weird - "5 women and 5 men".
 KL> Doesn't everybody rather write "5 men and 5 women"?  Don't get me
 KL> wrong, I'm not trying to be sexist or anything - I'm just TOO curious
I didn't do it intentionally, however when I was reading my reply, it DID 
sound awkward, but I just couldn't figure out why. Perhaps it's just a 
reflection of how much respect I have for women in general, until they prove
otherwise. (Hope some women are reading this!:] ) And you know the saying..
"Ladies first."

 KL> What are the courses you have to take?  Are they mainly Phys or Bio?
They're Human Biology, Human Oncology, and Nuclear Science. The Nuclear 
Science course is supposedly fairly basic especially since I've taken
physics in University already.

 KL> What are Colbalt machines?  Do they have anything to do with the
 KL> spectrometers they use to separate Carbon.  
Nope, I think what you're talking about is something quite different.  
The Colbalt machines (aka Colbalt Bombs) use Colbalt-60 (I think), a highly
radioactive element. It is placed inside the machine which has high shielding
and upon activation of the machine, a shutter opens to allow the radiation to
escape in a controlled manner. This radiation is used to treat the cancer
patients. 

 KL> Please don't laugh at me if I said something stupid.
I'll try not to. :] Actually, I wouldn't ever laugh at a genuine question! 
I wouldn't like it if someone did that to me!

 KL> Nice outfit! Do they restrict you to wear only long sleeves too?
 KL> A tie?  Don't they get into the way sometimes.  I imagine they'll
 KL> allow tie clips, right?
I'm not sure if Long sleeves are a must. I'll have to check. You know, 
come to think of it, a tie would get in the way! I'll have to talk to them
about that too. 
 
 JW> WOW! 15-20 Mins! Let see....the longest run in this city would be
 JW> about.. ..30sec to 1 min. Yep....that's right. There are longer runs

 JW> Do It ". Actually, my piano gave me a book to read to help me with my
 JW> playing. It's called the "Inner Game of Tennis". Yep, I use it more
 JW> for tennis than piano!

 KL> I hope you meant you paino teacher... <grin>
Ooops, my brain got too far ahead of my fingers. 

 JW> Yeah, I find it difficult to hit backhand shots in squash and
 JW> badminton.  
 
 KL> No I meant after playing squash for so many years.  It's hard for me
 KL> to play backhands in badminton cuz in squash you use your waist a lot
 KL> but it's quite different in badminton.  That's why most of the people
 KL> will laugh at me when I play badminton - they say I'm over-exaggerating
 KL> every move. 
Actually, I find that badminton requires a lot I mean A LOT of wrist motion. 
The only way to get power behind the birdie is to use a lot of whipping
motion in the wrist. Oops...I just read your message again... you said 
WAIST not WRIST. Hmmmm... maybe I should be using my WAIST more in squash!
Actually, you can use you waist in badminton too. I think it'll add to the
whipping action if  you can get the timing right!

 KL> Fusion is of course way better than fission.  The problem is to get
 KL> those darn deuterium nucleus close enough to fuse.  They've tried
 KL> using quantum tunneling, muons catalyst and a whole bunch of other
 KL> methods to archieve this (in cold fusion).  But the chances are very
 KL> rare. 
 JW> Recently, a couple of Chemists claimed to have produced "Cold Fusion".
 JW> Have you heard about that?
 KL> 
 KL> Actually, that was in 1989.  The two chemist from University of Utah
 KL> announced they've archieved fusion reaction in room temperature.  This
 KL> incidence was later found out to be a hoax.
You're right, it was in '89, but to me, that's recent.
 KL> If those English guys successfully harness fusion power inside the
 KL> tokamak, it'll certainly be a big advancement in human history.
Hopefully, we'll see it in our lifetime.
 KL> I use Bluewave too.  But some how I couldn't get it to work with LHA
 KL> mail packets.  That's why I had to type that particular message online.
Have you tried to register BW yet? I've registered but the registration 
code hasn't "registered" with the program. I'll explain later.

 KL> I really gotta go since it 12:40 already and I have a test
 KL> tommorrow..
Hope your test went well. What was it on?

 KL> -!- Blue Wave/Max v2.10 [NR]
Notice the [NR] here? You probably know that it means Not Registered.
It should disappear after registering, however, mine is still there even
after I entered the registration code. I left the programmer a message, 
hopefully, he can help.

TTYL

... I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere!
