Naphthalene.

So i just came back from squash practice and today happened to be quite an interesting day. somewhat.

*wall of text down below, press ctrl + w if you don't like walls and walls of texts. ;D

**events/incidents are arranged chronologically.

First, today was actually our add maths teacher's b'day and we wanted to wish him a happy *insertagehere* birthday. instead of the usual 'good morning teacher' greeting, we planned to replace that greeting for a birthday song. and we didn't know until a classmate of mine told the whole class that it was in fact his b'day today. frankly speaking, up to this point, i'm still not sure whether dude's actually telling the truth or just pulling a fast one on us. tiam if you're reading this, this is how trustworthy you are. ;D

Problem is, dude didn't show up, potong stim betul. and was replaced by our former arts teacher. then when the class stood up, we ended up singing the b'day song to HER, and the replacement teacher just stood there. stonned. obviously. ;D then the BLACK monitor went 'it's not even her b'day dumbasses.' one student then went 'why waste such a good wish?' and that somewhat triggered the class to burst out in laughter. ;D;D;D

After that, we did a few experiments......okay fine. two. experiments. one was biology and the other, chemistry. the experiment for biology was exactly the same one we did back in form 1, yeah the one where we put the onion and cheek cell under the microscope. yes that. nothing extraordinary.

What's worth the talk would be the chemistry's one. thus the tittle for today's post.

Following the syllabus, every class SHOULD be doing an experiment about the melting and freezing point of naphthalene. so today it was our class' turn to do the experiment, right after the biology one. so we prepared the stuff and started heating it up...yada yada yada....then the naphthalene started to melt...blah blah blah...

THEN, once we reached the desired temperature, we're supposed to take out the naphthalene and put it in a conical flask to let it cool down. so the teacher gave us test tube holders to take it out, that was what i knew. what i DID NOT KNOW, was that the naphthalene was in a BOILING tube, instead of a TEST tube, which i wasn't aware then. so i just took the TEST tube holder to hold a BOILING tube.

And what happened?



What else would possibly happened if it weren't THAT?



You guessed it, i spilled the liquid naphthalene. others that think otherwise can gtfo. fortunately, it spilled on the table and not on my book. cause the naphthalene froze up almost INSTANTLY when i spilled it.

Which means to say, if it were to spill on my notebook, the naphthalene on my notebook would freeze up. and that won't be cool. not. one. bit. but thank God it didn't.

I then took a lighter and lid the naphthalene up and burn the whole class down. FTW!

How i wished that would happen. sadistic ftw.

So while the others continue with the freezing of naphthalene, my friend and i had to slowwwwly scrape off the frozen naphthalene using a spatula in which the broad flat edge WAS AS BROAD AS YOUR PINKY FINGER. not cool you know. not. at. all.

The good thing is, among the whole class, only 3 groups got the recording right. and I A- *cough* we are, one of them. ;D;D;D.

If you don't understand what i'm saying, go read the practical book. ;D

I wish i could continue on about my pathetic life but i'm just too darn tired to continue, and besides, i don't think anyone of you who read up to this point cares to know more, so i guess i'll stop here.

Okay, that's all for now. ;D

PS: if you're reading this, i'm reaaallyy realllyy sorry. i would be more than happy to fetch you but as you can see, i have my reasons. D;D; SHO SHO SORREH. call me a bad friend if you will. D;D;D;

Yours Truly.
