not-so-lucky-week...

ok its aint a good week for me.. nt good at all...

it all started out on tues.. the obessed-with-alkali day.. ok see.. we were doing this chem SPA.. to gauge the temperature change as you mix different volumes of acid and alkali together.. each bench was provided with 1 big platic jug of acid and 1 of alkali.. then as hong wei was working on the experiement, he accidentally knocked the platic jug onto the edge of the sink and spilled the alkali on the table.. my area.. my pencil case and worksheet.. i was like.... nvm... small accident... then the next moment.. i continued with the experiement.. then as i was standing up washing my apparatus, unknowingly, jia xin sat onto my chair and was pouring the alkali into his test tube.. not knowing that theres some1 behind me, i took a causual step back onto my seat.. and ta dah~.. he spilled the alkali...onto the floor.. my legs.. and not forgetting himself... i was like!?!@#$%^ 2nd accident,. and it was a big one... i had to excuse myself from the lab to the toilet to wash up.. i had to take off my socks and shoes and put my leg into the basin to wash it.. it was super soapy... after i cleaned up.. it was kinda late already.. as i was on a rush for a presentation (which i will talk abt later..) so i was rushing thru thte experiment which many had finished.. then min zhe, the last of my 3 lab partners was confidently saying that he would not spill alkali over me like what they did.. ok.. i took his words of it.. then as i was washing some apparatus again, mz was also using the same sink.. he had too much alkali in his test tube so he was like pouring it into the sink at quite a distance from the sink.. so its like.. as he was pouring the alkali, my hand reached over as well.. so it was like.... alkali on my arm....><" agrh... anyway.... after the alkaline experiment, i had to excuse myself from lessons for a presentation to some visitors which i was last-minute-ly informed. shang chin called me earlier telling me that we need to centrifudge the mushroom thingy again as the previous attempt failed.. he didnt know abt the presentation as well..well anyway.. rushed after the chem SPA for the presntation.. but the visitors were nowhere to be seen... we waited for quite some time before a group of ppl came into the LRC with yap meng seng... the presntation went quite well.. as we stick to how we presented during semi finals.. after the presentation, argon and i did the gram staining thing.. it turned out quite colourful.. ><" after smudging the slides with the bacteria.. 1st we stain it purple .. wait 2 min.. then wash off.. the stain it yellow with iodine... then wait... then stain with red/pink.. then wait.. then wash with 95% ethanol.. then let it dry... we decided to get our bags and come back to the LRC to continue.. so as i was heading towards the class.. it was already 4 plus.. i met yi cheng on the way.. who promptly stopped me from going back to class as mrs ngsh was still in class.. demanding for the imcomplete homework.. heard that she was very pissed and was taking down our parents' phone numbers... well.. so i headed back to the lab to do some cleaning up 1st... then argon called me later to tell me that the coast is clear.. so i went back to class to get my bag.. then we went back to lab.. we looked under microscope the stained slides.... see nothing..... erps... then need to redo.. but the lab is closing.. so we had to discard everything... the most unlucky thing that happened to me for the week... is i suppose the mace-drop-onto-your-back-at-an-altitude-of-at-least-2metres incident... ok lets infer from this: KB was playing with the mace. i was practising my steps. i felt pain. extreme pain.. so what can we infer? perhaps its not a good elaboration.. but the idea is there.. the mace fell onto my back.. i didnt know until ppl told me... i was first like WTF? WHO ZHAM ME SO DAM FREAKIN HARD?? other than CQ who aint there that day, no one zhams so hard.. then i was thinking on si yao... but that lord-brahma-obessed idiot wouldnt zham me if i dont annoy him.. then i thought back.. even if its zham it wouldnt casue such an extreme pain... anyway.. i was jumping with a numb expression in my face..(at least i didnt run and spin in circles like some ppl..) i was later brought to the sick bay where the st john now resides.. yu feng (as in one of the st john group leader..) was there.. and so was wangster... they tend to my wound.. in a relatively slipshot manner... i wasnt offered to sit down... and yu feng causally applied some lotion onto me (its supposed to be a painful process.. but there aint any pain.. so that means.. they did it in a slipshot manner...) and after which he also casually paste a plater (that had just dropped onto the ground..) over the wound.... oh what crap... that means the missed the entire prac that day.. cos i cant even feel my right arm.. my entire network on muscles and nerves at the wound was slightly crippled... i cant even tilt my head left of there will be pain... so i missed prac that day and the day after.. but i remain there to help the section with some of the clarification of steps that kinda thing... and since i cant strap up due to the wound.. and since wilson didnt turn up for the subsequent prac, i was playing the bassdrum for him... my arm hurts after the entire thing... of which during one of the pracs i knocked my knuckle too much onto the skin of the drum and i started bleeding and it stained the drum as well... ><'.. went to hougang constituency today for the CIP thingy... overall its kinda fun.. went for lunch with mr siao kian hong, nicholas and si yao after that.. haha mr siao waited for so long to have lunch with us.. and on top of that he was watching a cookery show with tempt him further... we had a hard time deciding where to eat.. in the end we went to bukit timah market and food centre.. over there, we also had a hard time deciding what to eat ><" so we toured almost 3 rounds around the food centre, leaving mr siao back at the table.. during the 'tour', we pass by a western stall and si yao causally walk pass it and koped a packet of chilli sauce.... erpz... then during the second 'tour', again, he kope sauce.. but now its 4 packets of chilli and ketchup... erps.. then we had carrot cake that we shared... i didnt grip the chopstick well so i kept dropping.. then mr siao kept staring at me (like how i stare at him sometimes as well as other ppl.. i realise theres quite some similarity btw the 2 of us.. the passionate but sometimes bo-chap attitude.. and the way we blog.. as in the a-lot-of-dots......... part and a few more..) and niaoing me as i drop my carrot cake... finsihed with the final act of chemistry(mixing of food...) by si yao and then head home.. well its the actual thing tmr already.. even if we are not exactly fully prepared but lets just give it the full shot!

thats all i have to say now i suppose... its kinda late.. and i have to report early tml.. so i guess i betta sleep now... nitez! i will end off with a quote "you dont blame others and complain abt others when you screw up; instead, reflect upon your own actions and ask yourself why you screw up, not why others screw up for you" in fact, its a bit everyone knows.. but.. 'when you point your finger at others, you have 3 more fingers pointing back at YOU' so never blame any1 but yourself shld anything go wrong.. but obviously dont blame yourself to such a negative extent.... thats why i never fling insults or complains at others on my blog.. such negative feelings shld be kept confined to yourselves and not publicised.. you dont go arnd telling a grp of ppl: 'im not so-and-so, i dont do things like him'.. its starting to get lengthy.. i betta stop... nitez...

cant help it. He irritates me. "can u help me polish my bell" as he said <.< his bell. He doesnt respect what people says in fact he doesnt give the dam fark. he does things last minute. I told him to finish fenyong since last week. If i din rmbr wrongly, he din manage to play it on the display becos he din practise much. He gave in half heartedly. And for your information, he din even finish learning so much of his pieces and he was already trying to play the flute. For your information, his semiquavers have tons and tons of problems. For what u have not noticed. Curiosity on the snare i would admit, wishing to learn. But he chooses. He doesnt understand the importance of basics.

I wouldn't say that he has yet to give in the kind of effort, but as i told u i spoke to them a day earlier. Giving them one day to pon at the last week before the display is already a privelege. So he excuses himself another day. Seeing edwin in class after school when he's supposed to come for band pracs, he runs away. this not a kind of attitude i would expect from any junior.

criticize me with ur opinions as u may. This is what i see, i dun expect juniors to take more than a month to learn 5 pieces. We could do it in a week, so the most they shud take is a month. However the month has passed, he had yet to finished. If the people were to concentrate on his bell playing, i wonder what would happen. And saying "Jiehan, i will never ever take the bells again" is not something i would accept from a junior as well. I regard all of them equally, i understand what glendon has to do, i expected him to excel over the others too. That's why i put him in the bells, thinking he's most reliable, expect u to help him on the timpani and the mallets. But i highly doubt the possibilities now, if he cant even perfect semiquavers. For ur info, liangjun has surpassed him.
