So, title explains it all, but I'll tell you about it later, I start from the start (of the day) and end at the end (0f the day).
So, where do I start? I know! From the beginning!
Today, I sweated it out for the first 15 minutes after I woke up, not due to exercise but to the lack of the ventilation in the room cos' my pop thinks that offing (any such word?) my fan is a damn cool and useful idea to get my lazy bum (which is not lazy at all) out of bed. Well, guess what? I got hyper, and refused to talk to my father on the way to school. And he scolded me in public. Pity you weren't there when he scolded, you should see the way his eyes pop out, just like teacher Pat. But trust me, it wasn't fun. At all.
So I deliberately forgot to say goodbye to him, then I entered the school gate.
Before I got up to the classroom, I went to return a book called "FLUSH" which I borrowed from AnYan who borrowed from the library. That book was awesome! I give you a hint. It's got something to do with toilets. Then I got up to the classroom and guess what scene met me? A completely smiley YT. I found it a little weird, afterall, she is in the company of ZB and Cass who like completely hate her now but she's still smiling.
Then I went to sit down and got out my book called "TRUESIGHT", a very nice book which I'll tell you about later. Then a few sweaty minutes later, YT was crying. What a contrast to the previous time I saw her. Her face was red and she was shouting to ZB that she was also a human to what ZB said: I'm also a human too, you know? (That's what ZB said)
Then she went sniffing, Dawne and I looked at each other, then we looked at YT, then we looked back at each other. Then, well, I don't think it'll be very nice for me to type this out in case the wrong person came along to see.
Lol. The assembly was so funny. The whatever asked us to stand up, then we waited so long is complete silence until I became exasperated and started waving, then the whatever told us to sit down "as there has been a technical problem". It was so darned funny, well, to me, at least.
Then SS started. Mrs. Koh went on to make us identify the underlying (or root. Root is so much easier to say that underlying, and much simpler to spell too) problem. I practically has to copy everything that YT typed out for the project (she was feeling quite well by then) and I had almost finished writing the 12th problem (4 words left, to be exact) and was going on to the 13th and final question when she wisked the paper away. Simple as that.
Then it was English. And I forgot what we learnt, so let's just skip the Dukar lesson, shall we?
Then next up was PE. Dodgeball again. You can guess. AnYan and I were getting a little (a little is an understatement, really) bored of that game. I got hit twice. Almost had to get out (it would have been such a relief for my poor soul).
Now we get to the exciting part. SCIENCE!!!
It was probably the most fun I ever had in any lesson at all.
So we start, Mrs Teo asked no. 1 in the group (we had to number ourselves, if you don't remember) to take the beaker of green liquid and an empty beaker to our table. No. 2 then poured the green liquid (which is actually water with algae in it, okay, don't take it seriously) into that big basin in front of us. She said we had to use the equipments on the table (a spoon, a sucker (sorry, but I dunno the name), a straw, a raffia string, a paper towel and a pair of tweazers) to assist us in the job of clearing the oil, I was wondering what the pair of tweazers was for until I gasped in horror that she was putting "litter" into our mini ocean, thus breaking up the oil and making it spread. Oh the poor poor mini ocean, mama will take care of you! Don't worry! I won't let any baddies near you!!! okay, I wasn't that bad, okay? So I had the job of taking out the litter, and once I was done with that, I got bored. I came up with the idea of using dead birds to soak up the oil (because that's what the live birds always do when they meet with an oil spill, it would be an honour that would be passed on for generations to come), well, but the problem is, we don't have birds, but feathers would have proven a good alternative.
So I got bored. Joshua kept on spooning out huge amounts of the darling mini ocean very little amount of that idiotic oil that polluted it. So I picked up the sucker, stuck it in the beaker of what was meant for oil-but-turned-out-to-be-a-mini-mini-ocean and sucked out some water, since water sinks and oil rises. I'm a genius, right? Before that, we tried soaking up the oil with the paper towel. I suggested just covering the surface of the water with the paper towel but Darren and Joshua had to go and disagree. That sucked, but ZB came to my rescue and tried dipping the remaining whole piece of paper towel (which we had not shredded to pieces before) and dunked it into the water, and that worked! Mrs. Teo said that the raffia string and the straw play important roles in clearing up that sweet little ocean but try as I might, I canno think of a use for the straw. Raffia string I understand, because Joshua pointed out that the raffia string could surround the oil and stop it from spreading, but the problem is, it has already spread to all parts of the ocean...
Then for some particular reason, Mrs. Soh came knocking on the door. We had to great her, but that did not stop us from having fun!!! Samuel showed my group how to take away the oil with a tweazer, problem is, that his brain is so puny that he cannot comprehend that in a real situation, much less this small simulated one, it would take YEARS to take out most of the oil. Hello, by then I think I'd be in my grave. Darren tried using raffia string to take out the oil, it was pretty useful, but then again, it took out very meagre amounts of oil from the "oil spill" caused by Mrs. Teo. Yeah, and imagine having to use that little sucker (not referring to anybody, referring to the equipment) to take out all the oil, by the time the time the job is done, 10 ice ages would have passed, and the oil would have killed all the plants and animals in that particular area of the ocean, and most probably, the oil would be left there, and those honoured birds would help us clear the oil, risking the risk of losing their necks, and breathes.
I think that we should all honour the birds in the Global Congregation to Combat Oil Spills (GCCOS, if you think you've flunk your history test, relax there's no such thing, if not I'd have flunk too) and give them the highest paying jobs, with a ton of fish a day for salary, then we'll feed their egos to their limits and send them off to meet their doom! Afterall, that is going to be a once in a life time experience, and a very good one for birds!
When Mrs. Teo asked my group to talk about what we did, we all pointed fingers a Darren, to indicate that he's going to do the talking, much against his own will, I think. But then agian, where's the team spirit? Huh?
Huge news. We started out with 400 ml of algae filled ocean water and was left with only (and exactly) 250 ml of algae filled water, when we only took out maybe around 70% or 80% of the oil, which is, by the way, a lot (exactly 1/80 of it minus 1), if you have me in your group.
I was bored out of my pants in the next 4 periods so don't talk about it. Oh yea, before I forget, AnYan got put into YT's group and YT got put into AnYan's group, because Cass simply couldn't stand YT, or the sight of her. That was for Science group, by the way.
JC was uneventful, unless you call getting scolded for doing an approved routine eventful.
So, I'm getting really bored, so I'll stop my post at here and forget about that book called "TRUESIGHT" that I was supposed to be reviewing for the sake of you (which is nobody anyway).
