Moray Firth Field Trip

The best thing about learning about Geology has to be the field trips.

Previously we went to Stonehaven but the weather was terrible that time and we had to cut short our trip that day. This time round we went to Moray Firth which was much further from Aberdeen which meant a longer bus ride...i am getting sick of bus rides :(

Anyway we had a practical session on the rocks that are deposited at the region and how it affects the prediction of the quality of reservoir rocks that is present in the north sea which is rich in oil and gas and also the reason why Aberdeen is the oil capital of Europe and why I choose to study here.

It makes learning so much more interesting and it was great to get to the outdoor since the weather was so great the past few days!

It is one of the best place to see dolphins but didn't get to see any except these.

That is probably the last lesson of the semester and it will be the exams next..........but before that I'm going for my revision week holiday!!!! Stay tune!!!!

Despite the snow, ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY!

I'm such a stud! HEHE

Its always a joy to go for skiing lessons with these beautiful ladies hehe! But more on that later!

Despite the snow and wind which threatened to ruin our field trip to Stonehaven and postponed our Moray Firth field trip, we still had some fun over there, fighting the weather, learning about safety stuff and doing a short field survey. Hopefully the weather become better when we get back!

So cold the photo turned blue!

Today was our last skiing lesson :( I really love skiing. It is one of the most fun sports I have ever done! No wonder it is so popular! Why can't there be snow in Singapore!!! Anyway we finished learning how to do some basic turns and it was time to try the ultimate slope!!! Did my first jump today!!!! It was a really short jump about 1 second in the air but the exhilaration was immense!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!

Where we ski! Without snow!

Haha here is the real picture! Photoshop magic! :P

 One more physics test and full day petroleum geology course and its time for EASTER HOLIDAYS!!!!
