YELLOW DAY!

Its the fourth day of friendship week today. Colour of the day-- Yellow! Woohoo! My day was set when I saw the HUGE smile unfold on Lydia's face. That was it. I was happy throughout the day. Haha! Funny how someone's happiness and joy can make you so happy. I bet Lydia's STILL happy now. I shan't publicise what we did for her. For.. um.. security reasons. (lydia.. does it beat watching 5566?) heh.

First S paper briefing today. erps. They gave us a piece of work. The scholars in my class finished it just like that. pronto. And I haven't even touched it. Grrrr. Am I stressed? Yes. That's a definite yes.

First QA Practical after so long... since... hmm.. O levels? It certainly felt good to have HCl and NO2 fumes wafting into my nose again. Today was the best lab session so far. We got to experiment with concentrated acid. Like actually see how violently it reacts with KBr, the fumes, the smell that sends you coughing your brains off when you get a whiff of it.. and most interesting-ly how it turns flourescent paper BLOOD RED. It was so thrilling, and oh, the Ammonium Hydroxide.... THAT characteristic pungent smell that clogs up your lungs and you feel like you can't breathe? Wow. It was so nostalgic! Reminded me of Daphne... so much of daphne. When we actually communicated with each other during our Prelims practical to see if we got a precipitate, or a gas, or whether the litmus was bleached. Ah. Those were the days... that I miss so much.

Sigh. I guess I can't stay online for long. I got to go back to my books. yup. later then.
