E-learning week!?!!??

So, e-learning week has kind of ended. I did some e-learning myself. I watched youtube videos and learnt how to fold some interesting things. That's e-learning right?

Anyway, in between watching FIBA33 matches, reading news reports assignments, troubleshooting the whole moodle system, marking and replying to students' queries I was folding these:

My first attempt at a paper hydralisk. Not bad, it could actually stand.

My second attempt at a paper hydralisk. It's tail looked a lot better, more reticulated, but it couldn't really stand. Something to note: in origami, use thin paper. The orange paper was high quality paper; too thick to fold properly.

Another attempt, using the left over paper to make a minute hydralisk. Very cute actually!

This is a Star Destroyer, really easy to make actually. Looks good eh? The ruler is there for scale. The small hydralisk is actually the same size as the Star Destroyer.

This one was a pain to fold. Took me and hour and had to watch the video almost 30 times. The outcome is pretty impressive! This is a Terran Wraith.

Thing to note: If I can fold these just by watching videos, I'm sure one can learn partial fractions and the modulus function by watching Heymath animations / lessons! 

Anyway, this is a picture of a fois gras dish I cooked up. (Yes, I cook. For those who have been following this blog for some time, they will know that it was once upon a time a food blog.) This is my interpretation of the dish I ate at Regent hotel about a month back. And yes, the fois gras was on BIG offer.
