Yesterday wasn’t that good a day. It must hav been the worst [last day of term] day. I spent the whole morning worrying and panicking about the English assignment since the instructions weren’t clear and I didn’t really know what to do (and yesterday was the deadline!). The day started with a disciplinary action in the hall (not on me!), and then it was our physics practical. It was quite easy, as little knowledge of content was needed. After breezing through the practical, we rushed for PE. Since the NAPFA tests were over, and it was already the last day of the term, Mr Romi allowed us to do any sports we wanted. I joined the pple playing basketball. Did fine, but got scratched on my right hand by. Someone. Violent. And later, my nail on my left thumb started bleeding. And it was caused by. someone. Violent. My nail got slightly separated from the flesh. It was painful, so I couldn’t play anymore. Wth. Did my best to wash the wound, but there were still traces of blood. During recess, on my way back to class, I suddenly remembered leaving my uniform on the canteen bench. Sprinted back, and found nothing. I asked around, but to no avail. Decided to run around the school asking. Chanced upon a band (called XD if im not wrong XD) playing at the atrium. (marcus was in the band) So I stopped to appreciate the music. Coincidently, I saw Shaun, and greeted him. He passed me my uniform. I had an ‘omg, how lucky am I’ kind of expression. Thanks a lot, Shaun!  After enduring the thumb pain throughout recess, it got better during lessons. I was thinking how fortunate I was to hav injured my left thumb instead of the right, cos I wouldn’t be able to write then. X)
Lol, during english I sat beside yh for the first time since we changed the seating plan last week. Haha, didn’t blame him for causing me slight lonliness, cos he was sick. And phew, Ms Koh told us that there was extension for English assignment! To next Friday. =D
Chem was quite good, we learnt a lot of interesting stuff from the sour teacher. “Primary School kids also know this”.
After a quick lunch, I chionged to chem lab to test out the chem car that we built on thurs. lol. We kept changing chemicals, from peroxide, to citric acid, to … to acetic acid (vinegar). Why. Why must it be acetic acid?! It stank. We tried very hard to refine our method of release, but… nvm. I shant say too much about this as we didn’t do that well. But the process was fun lar. And we gave the lab techs a really good “aroma-therapy” when we were done. With fatigue, I carried the car and stuff home.
Ok, maybe the day wasn’t THAT bad. Cos some things came out quite well. But for the last day of the term, it’s bad.
Today, Jack and I got to ngee ann poly for the chem car competition. Saw many familiar faces there, and tried to calculate the chances. Gave up trying halfway. And wth, my pro grp member, DoubleH, fell sick. Arg. So we held on tightly to luck, and… yay, we didn’t reach the 10m required. I think 3 teams from ri didn’t too. Cant blame us. We used only two days to build the whole thing, get the formula and chemicals, test and blah. A team reached 10m, but wasn’t top 16, so… oh well. Should’ve sent the science club. X( And in the process, the acid entered my injured nail, and I got a hot, burning sensation. Lol. We received a debrief and analytical session from Mr Koh, and learnt our lessons. We then observed the the other schools’ cars to learn more. Nygh’s teams were omg pro. Many of their teams entered the semis and about 3 of their teams made veryveryvery accurate calculations about the distance. And they dominated the whole competition, sweeping first and second prizes with them. All of us were impressed, and some even promised to return the next year (for the first prize). We went home stinky, again.
