Its friday again what-do-ya-know.
And I have to say, its been one hell of a forgetful Friday. lol.
In the morning James told me message some stuff by recess, and [yeah RATHER SUPRISINGLY], i forgot.
Then, during geography in the humanities room, we were doing mapwork, and i was almost about to take the whole map out when we left till i was reminded that it had to be collected and returned.
After recess was CHEM in the lab. One part of the QA involved getting a few drops of conc. HCl. And, 2 things here. First, i went there with only a test tube, no holder.Another 2 things to elaborate on this. Thankfully, I wasn't caught by patricia for not bringing a holder along, and thankfully i didn't let any of the acid be in contact with my hand when i added it to the test tube. Imagine, one drop trickling down the outside of the test tube and it would have been youch! Second thing, when i went there, i took conc. sulphuric acid, not HCl. Stupid right. And I was heating it gently and with CX were testing with moist litmus paper after moist litmus paper, and no effect. like WTH was going on. Only after awhile [and that was about 5mins!] did i realise i took the wrong acid.
That's not the end. After the whole prac session was done with, i left my pencil box in the lab. yes, i took A calculator, THE paper, and A pen[not -cil box]. Left the rest of it there. And it was so malu infront of patricia and weiting and sherhan and jj they all. man....................

On that forgetfulness theme, let us all not forget that one week has just silently passed us by. I sure didn't think I did much. yet i feel sleepy every night. yet i can't bring myself to study much during the day session. So, I think this transition time is fast running out, its time to get serious again guys.

Back to the chem lab. and the practical was quite interesting. The volumetric thing was very weird. It wasn't just the normal titrate this with that. It invloved adding this and adding that and THEN titrating this with that. And haha, its tricky, the pale yellow thing. its like the yellow keeps getting fainter and fainter, and you just don't know where to stop. Luckily i was SLOW, and this was worsened by the fact that my pipette filler was once again screwd. at LEAST patricia BOTHERED to change one for me. Also, CX was fast. so she overshot hers and i caught up. ha! And then the indicator thing was kinda redundant, but oh well. The QA was fun. The choking gas, and the highlight was the oxygen relighting glowing splints. For once, it was like pretty obvious. Haha.

This week has been kinda slack. In class its joking and all. At home I've tried reading zhitongche for one. Hai, gotta find some way to do better for chinese. Im really scared i ll fail for prelims. So I can take no risks, since from my viewpoint chi is worth 2pts, [passing it rather], and that is an impossible deficit to overcome if they aren't clinched.

On Tues night i woke up to watch champions league. Arsenal are back on form, and Henry suddenly scores 2 headers. [he still sucks at heading im sure]. More importantly, we're back on form. That's the confidence the win over Man U in front of their own fans gives.

And on that note, I believe what we're going through these days, is simply a mentality thing. About the O levels and all. Let's face it, the O levels is easy. Comparatively, there's no two ways about it. It's getting the job done, believing you can do well, that's the difficult part. People from double science classes, or pple struggling in trip. sc classes, often see it as such a challenge [not saying pple like me aren't], when, by virtue of being able to enter ANDERSON, we should all perform very well for the Os. So, its finding belief and confidence, and most importantly, peaking at the right time, I feel. I think any talk of consistency is now nonsense, since the prelims are all over already. There's one and a half months, and certainly, how the time is spent in the last 2 weeks, of that period, will be pivotal.

lastly, remember my entry before last, where the focus was on Mrs Chong and how we should lay off her?
Well, she's given us chocholates, and hey she's filthy rich, but it still takes effort and thought to buy chocholates okay!
And let's be honest, she's been able to relieve our stress with some very entertaining stories hasn't she.
Maybe that's not teaching, but we students from 4/7 are smart enough not to need teaching right..............=p
