story told on 11:05 pm �
uber cool... hehe... 2day i did my 2nd chemistry practical... cool but kinda complicated as we reli need to be precise... very precise... hokay so... da prep of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was a killer... da stupid alkali solution reli gave me a headache... to prep 250 cm3 of NaOH we were given solid sodium n distilled water... ok... to cut short (read: lazy wanna explain) after prep da solution... hav to titrate wit monobasic acid HX... question was to find concentration of da HX acid... *skippin all da nonsense* this was wat i did AFTER i finished da experiment... da balance NaOH solution i poured in phenolphthalein (da indicator) bout 1/5 of da phenolphthalein bottle... *its a lot...!* da whole solution turned, well, this...


this is wat u get when u pour TOO MUCH phenolphthalein into an alkali solution... u get ribena... or grape juice...?

i couldnt resist take a pic of me goin mad... ok ok... tht sounds so wrong... hehehe...


me+chemicals=mad boy tryin to take over the world... (jus kiddin!) *note da evil face*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok... this happened last week (on thursday)... my 1st physics practical... considered an easy 1... mainly becos i jus hav to measure stuff n calculate... hokay so... 1 of da things i hav to measure is volume n mass of cookin oil... from da volume n mass i can get da density... so when my teacher took da cookin oil out... i was horrified... ! omg... horrible... totally horrible... looks like da oil has been kept 4 ages...!! *vomittin* managed to get a pic...


look at tht monster... u don wan to know how it felt like when i held da body of da bottle... *vomits even more*

as all of u know (i assume u all DO know) tht cookin oil is transparent n yellow in colour... but this is absurd... how many generations hav this oil been passed down...?! it looks moldy n da worse part is... (drum roll) it startin to coagulate... *screams n runs away* man... tht was reli horrible... take a look... this pic was take from da top of da bottle... from da mouth of da bottle...:


see da white 'dots'...? tht is da coagulated oil... *eewww* u cant even see da bottom... *faints*

wat u cant see is tht there is MORE coagulate oil at da bottom... here is da punch line... da pieces r HUGE...!! so big i don think it can be poured out... its dat BIG... da reason y u cant see it is becos da oil is so 'muddy', it 'hides' da coagulated pieces... unfortunately... i didnt get da chance to document it when most of da oil was poured out... when its was poured out, u CAN see those pieces... don let me get started on da smell... ntg can describe it except tht it smells like rotten, moldy oil...? hahaha... ok... i better stop... i think im gonna lose my appetite... even though its so late at nite... i betta go... chaoz...
