Math was alright today (: Gonna get back biology tmrw bahh.
Signed up for Jiang intensive haha hope it helps (: Also signed up for WEP during Nov-Dec holidays with Shi Hui at National Skin Centre and I'm going for some Asian Civilisation Museum thing too. But then again, my aunty says she may bring me on holiday :D:D:D:D so I may cancel that one since it is only 4 days (:
I really really want to go on holiday!!
Okay, anyway been freaking out over FAM item because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and the item vetting is this friday. I can't confirm the music I'm using, can't confirm the logistics I need and the comm has been bugging everyone.
HAHA, coincidence! Yingxin just called me regarding the timings for item vetting. Grahh.
Today had bad bad cramps ): Was going to die after geog but then it became much better in the car home (:
Life after EOYs is quite relaxed so no stress except for math today.
1. Mummy and papa went for holidays for three weeks right after my exams.
2. Went for class chalet right after eoys, was really fun! Watched night movie - white out which was quite good but a bit gory and stayed up till morning talking. We ate macdonalds at 4am in the morning where I konked out for an hour haha. Went back and played monopoly with emily and changed for school. The class had NE quiz the next day.
3. Went for batch stayover at Japna's house too and baked cookies for the other batches. Had quite a bit of fun (:
4. Green Chem options isn't that bad now. At least had a bit of fun during prac blocks :D
14th October 2009:
Yay it is quite confirmed I'm going overseas right after FAM, maybe 22nd to 29th Nov :D But I have to sponsor myself. Bahh. My savings account only has quite little now, after a bit of addition here and there because I paid tuition fees and what not, maybe it will jump :D plus! I think I haven't gotten my pocket money for october ): Going to Korea with my aunty I think! It's going to be WINTER :D WOOHOO. Okay the trip's about 1100 plus others misc stuff, I still need to eat and sleep, maybe 1500 hahah shoots. Going to pay with the savings account first and pay my mummy back in installments. Haha if this is going to work out. Anyway, mummy says that if I get A+ and A for overall GPA she will sponsor a bit :D And I think i have about 3 A+ and 4 A if I don't screw up the papers I'm going to get back tmrw and Friday.
Alright shan't be too happy, scully not going then I'll be too disappointed.
A bit of fun stuff today. Got back bio, it was good, better than I had expected but I just don't see why they can't even spare one mark for a question which I got partially correct. Didn't ask for it anyway, knew he would not have given it haha.
Today went to subway for lunch and it was really funny.
1) Emily asked for honey oat cookie! when there is no such flavour!
2) We asked the guy at subway to help us cut our orange because we needed the peel for chem lesson. Haha the guy was amused and said no. Then I asked if we could used his bread knife to cut haha, then he brought the orange back to the kitchen to cut. At first I said cut into four pieces then didn't know he cut into 8, so i just grab by the top and the pieces almost dropped hahaha. So stupid. We ate oranges after our subway meal, so healthy :D
GREEN CHEM LESSON IS DA BOMB :D
It was explosion galore! Haha, in the one and the half hours we spent on the extraction of limonene from orange peel, there were 10 explosions! It was super freaky and cool. Dr ng did warn us that the tubes and cylinders may explode but we didn't think too much of it, even didn't wear safety goggles. Then when me and emily were at the electronic mass balance at the teachers' desk, hahaha BOOOOOOM and then everyone screamed and this whole measuring cylinder split entirely and flew across the classroom and the centrifuge tube inside broke haha. So we didn't think too much of it, thought it was an exception.
Then, people's tube started fizzing very vigorously and the hissing sound was so scary. Everyone around us had bubbling tubes!! Then BOOOM second explosion and then BOOOM third explosion. And I got damn freaked out, everyone took cover under their benches. Teachers from other labs came into check out our war-torn lab :D Then it was our turn. Okay anticlimax, ours didn't even bubble. Then after we replaced it again, it bubbled but thankfully didn't explode even though we were damn scared. YAY successful! :D But the drama didn't end. The bench behind us had bubbling tubes and we got a little afraid so we moved a bit further. Then me and emily were grating orange peel. Suddenly it exploded with a boom and me and emily threw our small collection of peel up a little and it all fell to the table and ground hahahha. The bench behind us almost couldn't find their cylinder!! Then explode here and there and everywhere hahah and we made a mess of the lab, dr ng asked us to stop doing anymore :D We are brave little children! Haha emily took a video of the process of explosion, it's really funny! And Krystal and I both felt something fly to our necks when people's tubes exploded. Okay super fun!
After much explosions, we went down to try out the school's solar powered - fuel cell car. It worked! For about 10 seconds ): but we had to wait for about 20 minutes for it to gain enough energy haha. :D
After lesson, the five of us - krystal, iva, emily, jiaying and I went to KOI cafe at toa payoh :D and drank nicenice bubble tea! Bought one home and jie liked it a lot :D
Shall sleep early today :D
