History : Operation Sook Cheng

During the period of the Japanese occupation in Singapore, there was no doubt that there was racism. For example :

  • Malays- The Japanese recommended that they work in the defense and administration of Singapore.
  • Indians- The Japanese helped the Indian immigrants in their movement to gain independence for India from the British. To do so, the Indian National Army was formed with Japanese Support.
  • The British and Chinese however, weren’t treated fairly.

The Chinese were treated terribly because many of them in Singapore wanted to return to China to help fight against the Japanese. This is when Operation Sook Cheng came about.

Operation Sook Cheng was created to clean Singapore from anti-Japanese elements. All Chinese men aged 18 to 50 years old had to report at mass screening centers to be examined by Japanese officers to determine, whether or not they were anti-Japanese.

If one clears the examination, they will be stamped with the word examined on their arm. They will then need to ensure that the stamp does not get washed off.

If one does not clear the examination, they will be brought to the Changi Beach to be executed.

Throughout this whole operation, 25 000 Chinese were estimated to be killed.

Sony’s Dualsense Controller-The best controller!

Along with the launch of the PlayStation 5 last year on 12 November ( 19 November for other countries), Sony also released the Dualsence Controller. In the PlayStation 5’s  box there already is one controller. However, if you want to play couch games with friends or family, you will surely need an extra controller. Just take note that the price of the controller is $69.99(USD) / £59.99(EURO) / $99.99(SGD) which is pretty expensive considering that these days, games cost around $70( Euro). But, if you have the disk edition of the PlayStation 5, you can always buy second hand disks from others!

Despite its hefty price tag, the Dualsense controller also comes with some new features.

Built in Microphone

This feature is mainly for those that does not want to buy expensive headsets. Although the quality of the microphone is decent, it is still recommended that you should get a better microphone.

Adaptive Triggers

One of the biggest new features added is adaptive triggers. This basically means that the L2 and R2 triggers can have a force when you are pushing it down. For example, if a game has a bow, the developers can make the adaptive triggers come to play and the further the bow is stretched, the harder it will be for the player to push down the triggers.

Battery Life

With all the new features, games like Astro’s Playroom can really drain the life out of your controller. The battery life is slightly better compared to the DualShock 4 controller.

As of now, I have been only gotten a chance to play on my PlayStation 5 for an hour or two and these are the new features I have noticed so far.

Fun Facts

  • If you look very closely, the grips of the controller has the PlayStation’s square, triangle, circle and X engraved there.
  • The “share” button from the DualShock controller has been taken out and now, it is a new “create” button. When pressed, it launches a Creation Studio Tool which allows users to better edit their game clips.

3 Separation Techniques

Magnetic Attraction

Magnetic Attraction is used to separate magnetic materials from not-magnetic materials.

Filtration

Filtration is used to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid solid mixture. This mixture is also known as a suspension.

Filtration is used quite commonly in our everyday lives. For example, the filter in fish tank and air conditioner units, washing of vegetables using sieves and making tea using teabags.

Evaporation

Another method to separate mixtures is evaporation till dryness. It is used to separate dissolved solids from a solid-liquid mixture. This method is only effective if the solid that is dissolved has a high melting point. This means that it will not melt or decompose when heated.

Light Rays

Light is a form of energy that enables us to see things around us when it enters our eyes. Light travels at high speeds in straight lines. It can travel at a speed of 300000000 meters per second in a vacuum.

There is a difference between a light ray and a light beam. A light ray has a thin line of light while a light beam has a stream of light. There are three types of beams of light. A parallel beam, a divergent beam which fan outwards and a convergent beam which merges to a point.

How do you think shadows are made? It is made when light is shone at an object and some light rays are blocked by the object while others continue to travel in straight lines. An object which will block light rays is called an opaque object. the light behind the opaque object is know as a shadow. An eclipse is also formed the same way. when the moon comes between the sun and the earth, the moon blocks the light from the sun and casts a shadow on Earth.

Best Ways to Get Diamonds In Minecraft

I’m sure that most of you have tried the common strip mining method in Minecraft when it comes to mining, most of you are probably bored of mining after just a little while of using that method and not finding any of the shiny ores. Well now, after reading this post, you will probably find a way that interests you!

Block of the Week: Diamond Ore | Minecraft

The first way and my most favorite way is by caving. To do this method you will need to have about 2 stacks of torches and then using your pickaxe and mine in a straight line until you find a cave. If you want, you can go to the sounds setting and enable  subtitles to help you in your search! Once you find a cave, make sure that you search every where and maybe, you might just find yourself diamonds in a vein of 8! Just make sure that you mine those diamonds with a fortune III pickaxe and make sure that there is no lava underneath the diamonds!

The next way is by trading with villagers. Although when you trade with villagers, you can’t actually get diamonds. Instead you can trade with them to get diamond armor and tools. This method however is quite lengthy as you will first need to get a steady source of emeralds. The villager jobs that give diamond armor are the armorer, tool smith and the weapon smith. The armorer needs a blast furnace, the tool smith needs the smithing table and the weapon smith needs the grindstone.

End City in Minecraft

The last way that I am going to talk about is exploring. When exploring, just make sure that you have enough food! You can get diamonds by finding buried treasure from a sunken ship, by finding a jungle temple and even a desert temple. The most common place to find diamonds while exploring is in a end city. However, it is more likely that you will get really good enchanted diamond gear instead of actual diamonds. Some end cities also have ships that has something that’s really over powered-The Elytra!

Electrical Systems

Before we start, look around your house and count just how many electrical appliances, circuits or parts are in your house. Electricity is a form of energy. It can be easily changed into other forms of energy. Electricity has two main sources-Power stations and Batteries.

Electrical Components make up electric circuits. Some common examples of electrical components are wires, batteries, switches, light bulbs. All the components must be connected properly for it to work. A circuit diagram shows how an electric circuit is set up.Circuit Diagram | MyDraw

A circuit has two formations. Series and parallel.

An electric current is the flow of negatively charged particles called electrons. The S.I unit for electrons is ampere (A). An electric current flows the path set up by the circuit. If there is a gap present, the electric current cannot flow through and an open circuit is formed. The instrument needed to measure current is called an ammeter. Ammeters must always be connected in series for it to work.

The Hypixel for Cracked Minecraft Players-Jartex

I’m pretty sure that if you’re reading this, you have Minecraft. The Cracked one, or you are just finding an alternative server to play with your friends that use Cracked Minecraft. Jartex is a Minecraft server, but instead of needing official Mojang accounts to play on, it has tweaked some of the settings on the server files these servers are usually referred to as offline servers. Now, official or not, anyone can play on the server. But if you are popular and play on these offline servers, others can use your user name and instead, impersonate you and harm your reputation.

When going on for the first time, you will be asked to register using the /register command and then when ever you login, if you are lucky, you can log in without entering your password. Most of the time, you will need to login with the /login command. After successfully logging in, you will be spawned on a island. It is really well built and that ”spawn island” has a game rule enabled so that none of the blocks can be broken.

The server has a total of 11 game modes. The most popular ones being survival, creative, bedwars and skywars. My personal favorite is bedwars!

The server also is somewhat lag-free. Usually I can speed bridge across towards my opponents bed without any problems but on some occasions, the blocks may disappear!

3 Of The Fastest Ways To Level Up in Minecraft

If you have ever played on a Minecraft survival world, I’m sure that you have encountered one of the most annoying problems while trying to get the best gear available-Not having enough levels. In this post, you will finally be able to get past this problem and get the best gear!

The first way  to get massive amounts of experience is by breeding animals. The process is quite simple. To start, just build a simple pen using fences and gates. Then bring in 2 animals using leads or by holding a piece of their food.

  • Sheep-Wheat
  • Cows-Wheat
  • Pigs-Carrot, Potatoes, Beetroots
  • Chicken-Seeds

Once the animals are in the pen, breed them using the food that they eat and then you will get the XP. At first, progress will be slow, but once you breed the animals regularly, the amount of XP will increase.

The next way is by trading with villagers. If you are close to a village, then I suggest that you start a wheat farm and then trade to farmers for a profit. If you are really in great need in levels or just need that one level to get a level 30 enchant, then I suggest that you use any bones laying around in a chest, craft it into bone meal and speed up the process. At the same time, when you trade with the villagers apart from getting experience, you can also get a lot of emeralds!

And this... is why you build an Enderman XP Farm : Minecraft

The last and quickest way to gain XP is by building an ender men farm. Of course this means that you will need to beat the ender dragon first, but the amount of XP you get from this farm is by far more than any other method. To build it, you can refer to this video by BlendsCraftYT!
