I am so unlucky..

Today is an unlucky day. Ask me why!

I was so tired that I can barely concentrate. I spent last night doing my script. I think the silly debate is take too much of my time. I didn’t really accomplish much this week.

During the free period after bio, lady luck started to frown on me. We were discussing the debate and editing Denise’s script. My back started to ache and my muscles failed me due to fatigue. Liyen was trying to make a point about something, I don’t know what.

Chem practical was worst!!! We had to do thermochemistry. That sounds easy yeah! Just add sodium hydroxide to the mixture and take note of the temperature change. A piece of cake! But something was amiss. The hydrochloric acid, I added to sodium hydroxide did not give me a change in temperature. Bizarre! Qian Yin also did not get any temp change. We thought we added the wrong things because both of the solutions are colourless. So we did it again. But failed. This time, I spilled acid on my chair and so happened Qian Yin kicked my chair and the acid spilled on her leg and splattered on my leg. Wonder what it is like coming into contact with acid? I can tell you it is itchy.

Then Mr Tan came in the lab. I told him we couldn’t get any results. He gave us red litmus paper to test if it is an acid or alkaline that we added. The solution in my burette was acid, so it is Hydrochloric acid. Then we test again with red litmus paper to determine if the solution was sodium hydroxide (alkaline). Indeed my speculation was true. It was not sodium hydroxide. In the presence of an alkaline, it turns red litmus paper blue but it didn’t. It was an acid. Don’t know how the lab tech prepare solutions. They can even make such serious mistake. No wonder I can’t get results.
Of all people, my bench. Mr tan then marched into the preparation room to complain.
We had to get the results from the others.

I lost the cap for my liquid paper in the lab. Shoots! I grouchily went for GP. The moment I sat down the chair broke. Can you believe it? Even the chair isn’t on my side. So unlucky!!!

Daijing forgot to bring money for the present. Charles wanted to lend me. I don’t need the money, it is Daijing!!

After school, I went with Daijing to Plaza Singapura to get Miss Wee’s wedding gift.
On the way to the interchange, we boarded the same bus as Huili, Madeline and Jie Yin. One of them mentioned how intense the debate is going to be tomorrow, with me fighting with Gabriel. Hah!

We really went on a shopping spree. Bought snacks, 2 boxes of chocolate, CD, a pair of precious moment chopsticks that comes with the thing to rest the chopsticks for Miss Wee. We walked and walked from PS to Orchard. Still looking for another gift for Miss Wee. We even went to TIMES, thinking of getting her a book entitled ’sex goddess’ or ‘how to handle a man’. After walking so long, we ended in Takashimaya. And so we found a couple cup, one for the husband and one for the wife. Words on the cup wrote in Mandarin,”I love you because you are a gem” and “ I will love you till I am old” something like that, all those cliché.

Then, Daijing and I rested at a bench to eat the chocolates. Her legs were aching after the long walk. We sat outside Crystal Jade to rest. Then, I mentioned about how I can envision us in 20 years time. Instead of sitting at benches we would be sitting in a Coffee house after shopping. I really got a wild imagination.

I am so exhausted. Must still prepare for tomorrow, my speech during gavel and for the debate. Mrs Toh wants me to speak to the JC 1s. Tomorrow also got Bio test. Hmmm. This is so draining, I am going to kill a few brain cells.
