today had half a day off and early lab..
suddenly felt like it den went to cut hair in sch..
cos 6pm still got lecture ahahahah..
siao lor..
den went to let Master Khor see palm..
they all say he very accurate but I see only some parts are more accurate lah..
others - just take it with a pinge of salt..
LOL~~~
in fact I feel that it is very ex and wasted my money...
will never do it again..

this two day very leisure life..
yest went to watch movie and eat dinner den still got the time to eat "dou jiang you tiao"
hahaha just becos we felt like it..
today still can play pool and talk rubbish in school..
man such a lax lifestyle..
I need to stop this and start mugging..

okay I will start now...

a bad day for lab!

today had the last organic lab...
really suay until....................................................................

first of all..
all the apparatus so dirty..... like full of remains of wadever reagent..
just as i tot i was lucky to find a clean (relative to the others)...
I found that it was broken while washing it..
so I got another one den wash it..
realise that it was leaking during the separation...
ARGHHHHHHHHHH...
gotta change another one (which is laggi dirty)...
and i lost some reagent cos of the leak..

den need conical flask..
I cant find the ones that are required cos people take finish already..
nevermind...
I finally find the conical flasks and wash and bake them in the oven..
some other people kope my conical flask from the oven and i cant find them when I needed it..
ARGHHHH...

den during filtration..
my filter paper never even filter off anything..
all the activated charcoal went right thru....
had to filter another time..
happen AGAIN!!!
so had to filter again....
this time I use 4 pieces of filter paper lor...
ARGH>>>>> waste my product and time..

at the end of it all...
still kana acid burn on finger...
now got a damn blister...
and I realise I do feedback for the TA I oni do one..
cos they print 2 pages per side on the paper..
den I oni did one side (which is oni for 1 TA)...
the other TA must think someone hates her...
dun even want to do the feedback for her..
hahahaha!!

hai~~~~~~
not my day for lab..
and I really need to start to mug..
really really..
really really really...
okay mayb I shall start tmr..

I am so stressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need some rest!!!

gonna collapse..........................................

i want retail therapy*****************

konk out~~

evonne is the best, evonne beats the rest!!!!

disgusted

I find this video disturbing & saddening..
do take some time off to watch it..
when I watched it,
I felt that Man are so cruel & it saddens me..
the last part traumatised me alot
I cried watching them die..

finally ended another day with GEM tutorial..
honestly speaking... try starting lessons @8am and all the way to 6pm..
No joke..
plus if lessons are normal I really dun mind...
lessons like GEM tutorial are what I deem a complete waste of time..
like we go there to discuss qn that are not really related to the module..
what is more disgusting is the people there..
in order to get more attention or marks for participation I dunno..
they can ask you questions that are really far-fetch..
like in a tone that try to shoot you down with your answer or something..
at the end of the day, I learn nothing and I have wasted 2Hours..
Science people are much more practical..
get some results out of the tutorial..
have some stuff to substantiate what u say..
irritated with gem..

n officially,
I have:
3 tests (each 10%) coming up,
2 lab rpts due,
3 assignments (one 5%, one 15% & the other 20%),
not even including study time..

HOW TO FIT IN SIA????!!!!!!
******faints~~~~

an analogy to a relationship with a third party

over lunch cum dinner today, 8 scholarly organic chemists came up with this analogy:

in a relationship (as in boy gal), it there exist a third party (let's say another gal), this other gal likes this guy even tho he is already attached.

thinking of an Sn2 reaction mechanism,

so this is like saying the gal is the nucleophile (a specie that is nucleus seeking) while the guy is the electrophile (a specie that is electron loving).

so the electrophile will attack the nucleophile, from the backside 180 degrees away (unknowing to the existing girlfriend).

the guys existing girlfriend (who is the leaving group) will have to be kicked out of the picture.

how well the leaving group leaves will depend on several factors:
(a) the situation/environment (the solvent)
(b) the character of the leaving group (more independent = better leaving group)

unfortunately, there are many technical terms in this analogy so I hope ppl reading it will not find it disgusting..

my dull & boring life

written for the purpose of practice and module requirement. lol. just tot i did put it on to share cos I think it is quite funnie to say urself until so nice and wonderful when I am not!!!

But after this episode on resume writing and biodata drafting, I realise that no employer will want to hire me. I've got no relevant experience, I have no interest relevant to the job, and no special skills that they may require..............................

all I have is a piece of shitty degree that is worthless even if i want to do lab research and no lab tech not included. :)

sad to say... my life is like that..

today i overheard someone saying that she join chemistry cos of her passion for it. but that was in freshmen year. after that passion wears off but you are stuck in it.. so sad for her.. I mean i am still very interested in chemistry. but in this society passion means nth if you dun have the grades and degrees to back up your passion.. the reality of this world is harsh and cold.. but I guess it is the way of life and I have to live with it..

i think i need to start thinking about my future.. when it is so bleak and uncertain..

a day out*****

For those who are looking for a nice laugh,
you may want to try and watch Mr. Woodcock!
I find it quite hilarious and help me get rid of some stress...

me and dear went to try Ice Monster @ P.S.
personally I feel that it was quite expensive leh..
we had a mango Pork Floss Crepe and a Red Bean Milkshake..


actually the food not that bad lah..
Just that i feel that the Red bean milkshake is quite expensive.
$4.oo for a cup... not too worth it..
But the crepe was okay.. $4.50..
lol..

becoming like a food critic..
anyway got a new shop at PS.
called Cottons Up I think..
sell clothes that resemble TopShop..
but at half the price..
Cottons Up is from Australia I think..
cos the price tag got the website with a "/au" at the back..

been looking for a Job Advert that may be one that I want to apply for when i graduate..
I realise so hard..
many actually require at least 3 years Job experience..
so sad~~
Im gonna be a jobless soul...
So I must pull up my CAP score this sem in order to qualify for UROPS man..
if not somebody have to feed me when i graduate..

Quoting wad Darence said.. "so hard to make a degree"
I totally agree...
sigh~

cravings satisfied!!!

no school to today but went school to mug anyway..
ming hui and mabel had a 1.5hrs talk with Kwahme..
haha and I can sense that it is actually a waste of time..

actually the main idea of the day was to satisfy ming hui's craving for sashimi..
so we board a bus over at SDE..
bus number 188..
sounds familiar??!
I tot so when i board the bus but ming hui say must drop two stops later to switch to bus 10..
since she is the west side gal................
I tot I better keep mum and dun say anything about buses..
den I ask her need to press bell??
den she suddenly say........ "NOOOOOOO!! I think 188 goes to harbourfront!!"
******** how blur can we get man!!!
hai~~
but quite funny tho...

so we had our sashimi...
this is how our table look like after the dinner...
cluttered..
and pease take note of the TWO!!! red plates!!
so expensive!!!
this lifestyle is too much to handle..
must save more spend less...


den we went to shop for her shoes...
but in the end...
I bought one too!!!
but I love it!!!
it's a pair of RED canvas slip ons...
and ming hui din make and effort to dissuade me at all...
nice job..

now Im swooning over my new shoes...
*happy**

a day of no feeling**

after a hectic week.. pace of life has suddenly become slower..
at least I have the time to blog u see..

today had Organic Chemistry test..
I totally have no feel for it..
take like never take...
I would say that the test was hard..
but i think is because I never put in enough effort..
so I think I must start studying now for Week 11 test...
If not again not enough time den come and regret..

anyway, my tuition career is officially over..
Shanying has finally finish her PSLE and I am relieved...
tho she say thatvery difficult..
but wad's done cannot be undone..
so just wish her all the luck that she may need..
manage to take a photo with her..

now that no more tuition must save money le cos income less le...
booo hooo

k lah.. gotta run..

so high***

after a day of organic lab..
i feel so high..
must be sniffing too much hexane / ethyl acetate / ether / or a mixture i dun noe...
super duper tiring and my legs are sore..
from you noe standing for 7 hours..
so many procedures to do and it seems never ending..
doesn't help with the strong fumes and stuffy air!!!
but surprisingly,
much to my amazement..
after lab go physical lecture...
got to do some complicated calculations i can get everything right!!!
(usually i cant get it right..)
WHAHAHHAHAHA!!!
so i concluded that it must be the fumes getting me high..
mayb i should get a bottle of chemical to sniff before exams LOL!!

man i got so many stuff to do until i dunno where to begin..
i need helppppppppp~~~

some thoughts over today

Today got super blue blue blue monday blues!
wahahahaha!!
now still suffering from it despite the monday being almost... over.

classes were all draggy..
es2007s was okay except that the report was extremely difficult to pen down..
we had a lot of verbal ideas but none came to be really writtable because we din have our lappie and the required statistics and stuff...
lots of excuses I noe but nobody really can spare the extra energy (considering what lil we have to begin with....) to try and form sentences..
so we just chin chai wrote a few stuff and left things as it were..

next up...
everybody's favourite ******** CM2121!!!!
not that I dun like this lecture or what...
but it's just that I feel that the class today was such a drag as we were just given questions and do..
and he never really explicitely tell us the correct ans...
had a hard time trying to catch what he is talking about...
ARGH!!!

soon time is up and classes are over!
yippie!
tmr is organic lab..

oh yah and not to mention...
the whether is damn hot!!
yucks!

gotta do my stuff (lotsa it to be done!!)
