ok. its official. the answer for the titration is fucking SODIUM.
bloody hell. THE CHINESE HIGH SCHOOL FUCKING SUCKS.
give us titration readings for aluminium. FUCK U SCHOOL. even if they submit answers for aluminium how much will tt help? like the whole fricking nation got sodium and we're the only suckers hu got aluminium. wat fucking trick question. other ppl got exactly sodium la dun even need to fucking use their brains. GEEZ.

on to happier things, slacked today. very very bad. initially planned to slack yesterday and today but den i remembered tmr got grad dae so... shit. damn bad. slack 3 fricking daes in a row??? no way man, tmr gota wake up earlier n do some work. this just wont do. i noe i may not but i relli gota man. shit. anywae, hc open house was pretty good i suppose. wasnt' relli wat i wud call "happening" but i met up n chatted with my seniors so tt was cool. after tt we went to watch white chicks which was pretty funny. i wouldn't sae it was worth $8.50 but it wud be pretty much worth $6.50. but strangely i dont relli feel all tt going-out-enjoying-myself hype. feeling guilty la i guess. shud be studying now not playing!!! argh.... must resist the temptation! i managed it b4 prelims. must do it now!!!! gogogo...

fuck have to retype this shit cos my post got so totally deleted la. fucking comp.
anywae, fucking bad day tdy tt is getting worst by the min. ok lest start fr the beginning.
titration was ok cos i had relli gd readings, 19.5, .7, .6, .6. all very close together and the ar of the unknown i calculated in the end was exactly 27.0. super nice. so ah duh i put aluminium was rite? exactly 27. den whoa shiok one of my best titrations. den when i come out i hear ppl telling me its sodium. wtf?? diff in ar is like 4 loh. kao. den i ask some of my frens from other schs they oso sae sodium. now chua lai cheng is saying sodium too. wtf??? n like my whole lab got aluminium la. including JOHN LEE. so now i relli duno wat to think. ok latest news i received from berd is tt we were supposed to get ar of aluminium got choose sodium cos it fits. wtf?? kana sai where got like tt one loh. tamade. den the stupid qa damn jia lat la. change so many colour. used up like 5-6 pieces of filter paper jus trying to see the colour of the damn precipitate n solution la. damn fucked up. den the extended question worst ah. they give like one eqn of this compound undergoing thermal decomposition to give co2 and h2o n come carbonate i tihnk. n den as of yet i have heard 3 diff ways of doing it la. firstly, measure mass. heat. measure mass after. den calculate frm there. havent relli run through the exact steps in my mind cos it seemed to cimple at first but now the more i think abt it the more i tihnk it might be correct la. kao. secondly, the one i did, put compound in conical flask, connect to gas syringe. heat den collect gas which shud be co2. measure volume den blah blah blah. tho i wrote it i tihnk its wrong cos there's just so much tt can go wrong. like gas is not at room temp n pressure cos of heating. (shit but actually u can let it cool rite? oh no.... i din put tt). den lastly the method which most ppl put which i think is correct is to heat the thing den titrate with acid cos acid-carbonate. sound the most correct i think. SHIIIIT. ok latest news received frm berd is tt the correct ans is collect gas. but i nvr tell them to let it cool!!! dieeeeee!!!!!! hopefully de "one step wrong rest wrong" way of marking is only clc's style n not cambridge's if not i'm screwed la. shieetttt... but relli tough loh. we practice so many extended qns and almost all are related to the question one loh. dis one TOTALLY isnt's loh. kaoz. how can liddat??? now i'm becoming more n more scared liao. they said last time tt our yr wud be the hardest cos its dragon yr n everything. i had kind of forgotten abt tt aft the prelims but now... it almost seems to be coming true. shit man. shit shit die die die.

finally... the beginning of the end.

strangely, i dont feel as nervous about tmr as i did before my prelim chem prac which, incidentally or not, was also the first paper of my prelims. hopefully its cos this time round i'm much more prepared than before and not cos i'm feeling haolian. and indeed, mrs chua has drilled as very very well with a last min session today with excellent notes (which i personally feel wud be more useful if she gave it to us slightly earlier) and i would definitely not like to let her down by not getting a good grade. hopefully an a1... n speaking of letting teachers down, all of a sudden i feel like i dont wana let any teachers down, with the exception of huang miao yin (chinese u understand...). hopefully, just hopefully, i wont be letting them down. i wud jus hate for me to come back nxt yr n see their disappointed faces telling me the while class did well except some jokers n blah blah blah. u noe how tt goes. n it kinda jus sux to noe tt all ur education in the past 4 yrs have come down to these few decisive daes. its like everytime i got a paper during my prelims i spend a few seconds thinking, "hey, i've got my future rite in front of me now. i can actually choose to go wherever i want now. i can either put in my best n go to a good jc or i can even hand in a blank script." n de i start wondering, wat if i hand up a blank script? wat wud happen to me then? n den i get all jittery and... u noe the rest. but for prelims fortunately everything went well enough for me. wat if it dussen go well for my o's? everyone's saying, "how bad can u screw up o's?" n tt gets me started thinking... wat if...? sigh. this is scary. i relli hope i'll do well. at least well enough to get into hc. i relli do wana remain there n i wud totally hate it if i had to leave after the first 3 months. tt wud totally suck big time man. haiz. n i suddenly think as thought my preparations for my o's weren't as thorough as tt for my prelims. hmmm... i've done all my science papers n i've started a little on humans... i cant relli sae i did much less for prelims but i relli jus cant help but feel like my preparations aren't as good now. sigh... i can only hope for the best.

to all those taking ur o lvls with me now, good luck and all de best to u guys! only about 1 month more till absolute freedom! c'mon we can do it! at least i hope i can. yeah! gogogo....

another... *ahem* wasted dae.

began with photo-taking which was kinda time wasting. i expected the whole buisness to end early, like abt 9 or 10 like tt but noooo... it dragged on till like 1 something lah. sian. its like they took a sec 4 cohort photo at 8am (auspicious hour) n den proceeded to take individual class photos. ours was like 2nd last class la n de stupid teocm wanted to make us wait at the terraces till then. wtf man. lucky joseph sim n joyce lim were there to talk her out of it so we went back to class to enjoy air-con first. den after tt we had to go auditorium where huang hui fen was acting cute. tok abt stuff we already noe. den siew yee peng (correct spelling?) led us for our grad dae songs n she was bitching all the way. n she's DAMN stupid la. all the song files already open up at the taskbar n she dun even noe how to click herself loh. she just stupid stupid let the mouse hover over the window n den call the mediatechies to come click it for her. GOSH!!!! she's so freaking thick. den we had rehearsal for grad dae where everyone lined up in the audi n went to kkh. n these was alot of delay so we took a long time n tan pheng tiong scolded us sae wat we all worst batch n all. err... wateva? den made us redo the whole again from the auditorium. geez man wats up with the teachers??? so we had to repeat the WHOLE thing all over again n den even after every single thing was done we still had to wait outside the audi cos the person with the keys took a freaking long time to come open it. walao. damn efficient man our teachers. luv them to bits. why must i leave this place?
n then when i came home to get a change first before going to kap, i left my heater on and laid on the bed and... haiz. shit la. slept till 6 plus. dead beat. sian. another wasted dae.

oh and for those of u hu don't noe, go Google and type "weapons of mass destruction" den click on the "I'm feeling lucky" button. very neat stuff haha. go check it out.
