Today was a pretty eventful day.
Morning had history test. Was quite okay. I guess. Should be able to 4.0 it.
Then assembly was just fail. I suppose it was entertaining though.
SS was quite okay. The UN are quite an upset, considering the amount of money spent on them.
Philo was just weird. Weird.
Okay. So after school.
Raffles trail for science club. Was pretty much a blast. Super fun lol. The sec 1's damn funny.
Then went for the RJ astro club first meeting.
Lol met aaron and imbas there. Then had the meeting. Then they had introduction. Lol I just said I was sec four. Then everyone laugh. Lol. :D quite amusing actually. Everyone was so serious there.
Okay more importantly, I was looking at the programmes in JC. Saw Huiyao's application sheets. There were so many. And I saw the requirements - sec 3 and 4 results must be submitted. I don't know what to do. I feel disappointed. It's a huge blow. I'm utterly disappointed at myself. How much am I missing out? And how much will I miss out as a result?
Then went back to the trail. (I ponned halfway for the astro thingey) Lol. Tee created an explosion in the lab. First time in my life I've seen an actual explosion lol. He added water to the elephant toothpaste mixture, before adding hydrogen peroxide. Then when the foam was rising, he threw in a lighted splint. Boom. Explosion, and me, Kang and Tee's shirt (lol, tee's shirt) got stained with IODINE. Luckily I managed to quickly wash it off. Lol Jlim told us off for it xD
Basically, how it works is like this. It is the same principle as pouring water on burning wax. When you have a fuel source, and a sufficiently large enough fire, when the fire comes in contact with the water the water will vaporize. In our case, the water which was added rose together with the foam up the tube, and when the lighted splint was thrown down it was ignited by the product oxygen to a bigger flame, and that instantly vaporized the water. When water turns to steam, its volume expands a thousand fold. The oxygen and foam, which were less dense than the water rose up faster than the water and hence, when the water evaporated, was blown out violently. Coupled with the fact that oxygen was on the outer side of the explosion cloud, the whole thing was a fireball. Luckily none of us got burnt. Bad mattie :D
Okay. Uhm and here Gratz to Yudder who got 2nd for 1500m freestyle! Well done la (: And gratz on getting into swimming!
Okay now emo topic.
No, it's not about Vday.
I realize that no matter how hard I try, eventually the only person you can count on in this world is yourself.
Yeah I actually realized this in sec 2. But I've tried so hard to try to accustom myself to others. It's so uncharacteristic of me. But then I get my self esteem lowered, I get used, I get made fun of. It sounds pathetic? Just try. Try and see if you live a life knowing what everyone is thinking, but not knowing to respond to how they think. And if you tell them you know what they're thinking, they get offended. I guess that's something that can never be predicted. I can know all the psychology in the world, but not erratic behavior. It's frustrating, it's killing me.
I don't know how many times I posted this up already (maybe three or four times?) but it's really reiterating in my life. Friends are nothing but investments. When they give you happiness, you keep them. When they piss you off, you just dump them. It's all about how much benefit you gain out of it. It's just that nobody realizes it. You help friends so that they will help you in the future. You help friends so that other people will believe you are kind and caring. Simply put, you never do something without anything in return. It's so blindingly obvious, but everyone chooses to look the other way. Ignorance is bliss. So was the life before the french revolution began.
Oh yeah I got selected to go for emcee training. Like o_0 me an emcee wth?
Okay, now I shall post about Vday. It's weird, but i'll decide to spend my vday this year on the things that are important to me in life now, unlike last year, which was horribly wasted on someone else -_-". Vday is so superficial. What, you mean you love for a day only? Is it an occasion where you decide to let go that burst of emotions and then subside, recede? Please. Spare me. If you truly love someone, you don't love them only on vday. It's just some excuse of a day to hang out with people you like.
Sigh. Everything is piling up on me. But I know I'll make it.
Even if I am alone.
