yawns and tries to stay remotely interested in chem.

maths test today was quite easy, but i was a bit blur. now this doesnt look too good, but i managed to complete the paper. xD

everyone please go listen to mr brown's and mr miyagi's persistantly non-political podcast v6! with or without chilli!

revising chem now. the thought of potassium hydroxide turns me off. i must endure!

for 408-ers: Why conc. nitric is the best "cleansing agent".

ans for the mol: because all nitrates which form with the cations are SOLUBLE, therefore it dissolves into the acid. Whereas if you use H2SO4, or HCl, it can form insoluble salts and is not as good (eg. barium sulphate, silver chloride).

hums and tries to recall the reactivity series cause the banmian is not giving a periodic table.

potassium sodium lithium calcium magnesium aluminium carbon zinc iron lead tin hydrogen copper mercury silver gold titanium.

oh i did come up with a nice mnemonic for rates of reaction

Catalyst Pressure Temperature Concentration Surface-area
CXXX Pee Tee Completely SXXXX

yawns. it just dawned on me that we have this equation for chemical equibrilium. no wonder dad was talking about forward reaction and i was like huh?

Kc = Product 1 x Product 2/ Reactant 1 x Reactant 2
where Kc is chemical equilibrium.

and the problem is right, which is the reactant and which is the product? shall ask the banmian. wait, wont it be even better if i asked my dad?

oxidizing agents are potassium maganate, potassium dichromate, and grp 7 elements. pahs. metals tend to be reducing agents. metals get OXIDISED. non-metals get REDUCED. yaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.

thiock seemed extremely grumpy today. sad. bryden chew was pretty perky,me and zishan saw that his hairstyle today wasnt too bad [o.0], mrs chew has a nice hair cut which makes her look even cuter [again observed by me and zishan and wenting] the purple guy today was the same as usual. i think he now knows monkey's name by heart. whoops. not bad, another step to improving his memory.

408 won 2nd for bookday! pft is also over, scorecard: 4As, 2Bs. pretty average for a netballer. Timing for 2.4 was disappointing, the run felt pretty good, the last part of the sprint was exhilarating but the 4th and 5th round was bad o.O got 13:07, needed to have done better >< [i think there is going to be a lot of complaints on the tagboard, but you gotta look at my situation you know.] looking forward to SRC!

[haha maybe we will spot you-know-who's bf there. GRINS widely] me and sharyn shall go look.

feli manda toad wenting zishan were suprised to know i was so friendly with ms hainee. well, you need to get to know her other side [like when she goes high -chuckles-], then she will be damm nice. afterall, she was the one who oversaw raffles A during schools challenge, and it really let us understand her more, such that we are now closer to her than to ms chung or thiock. the school team dont like her because she seems to be overbearing but that's just her basically. she likes to comment only larh. HAHA. and i feel quite bad when other people dont like her, because i know how nice she can be!

listening to wss story songs now! haha. this is from america.

ROSALIA
When I will go back to San Juan.

Everyone there will give big cheer!

ANITA
Everyone there will have moved here!
