Of Invisible Inks, Exhibitions and everything else in between
This post might be a tad too long for your liking. Heh.
Anywhoz, tomorrow is going to be the School Open Day. The whole class of 5C have been really busy this week, esp since Weds till today. Most of us are coming back tomorrow to help out in one or two areas during Open Day. There are going to be some of us involved in the BM, Moral, Add Maths, Physics, Chem and Art exhibition. And then got the crowd control by prefects. And the refreshments servings by Interact and Leo. And a couple of songs from Wizard of Oz.
Not looking forward to wearing my entire, makes-you-feel-extremely-flammable ;) prefect regalia tomorrow. I resent the fact that Kok Ming was the one who suggested the outfit.
Anyway, first thing's first.
Our Chem teacher's going to be leaving for UNIMAS during the month of May. Maklumlah, got better paying job bah. He's apparently going to be a lecturer in Microbiology there. Think about it. A Chem teacher and a Microbiology Lecturer. Which one better pay? LOL
The way he presented the I'm-going-to-leave message to my class was pretty cool. What he did was fill a fountain pen with phenolphtalein and wrote an invisible ink letter. FYI, Kim and Khang are in charge of phenolphtalein (invisble ink writing) in the Chem exhibition tomorrow. So he passed the invisble ink letter over to Kim.
And Kim, being the impossibly blur person she is (but sometimes she's adorable), thought the letter was just a try out message in invisible ink.
So she called me over, and we were holding up the ammonia to read the ink. Btw, when ammonia is held over the letter, the words show up in bright pink. Of course, when we found out (through the letter) that he was leaving, we were like shocked and kind of touched (coz of the letter it's not like everyday teachers who are leaving write invisble ink letters to us students right?). So we called whoever was in the Chem lab (all those preparing for Chem exhibition only) to read. Won't go into details. But all the same, it was really nice of him to write the letter to us.
Speaking of Chem, right after lunch today, Lee Lip, me, Alicia, Pivian and Ben were all in the Chem Lab. We were preparing for the Chem exhibition tomorrow: Lee Lip and me were making 1M copper (II) sulphate solution for our electroplating and chemical cell tomorrow (We took three hours to do just that!!) Alicia, Pivian and Ben were taking care of the esters and reflux apparatus thing. So anyway, at one point, Cikgu Kenny decided to leave us...
Cikgu Kenny: (about to close the door) Eh I leave you here but... don't make noise, don't steal any chemicals and don't play with anything except what you're supposed to be doing!
Us: (in unison) Okay!
The door closes.
Someone-who-must-not-be-named-by-me-if-not-I-get-killed leapt up towards where the salt crystals are and starts grabbing a few copper (II) crystals and sodium thiosulphate crystals to bring home with him. Then, at one point, we started dunking sodium thiosulphate into water (which makes everything go ice cold) and detergent and there was this green stuff coming out. And we made a hell lot of noise.
Cikgu Kenny: (edges into Chem lab half an hour later) So?
He pauses just as we all stop shouting at the top of our lungs. He looks at Lee Lip who's vigorously stirring some greenish weirdish looking solution.
Me: Well, at least we didn't burn down the lab right?
Cikgu Kenny: (sarcastically) Good on you.
While showing us how an iodine stain on filter paper can be removed completely by sodium hydroxide solution...
Cikgu: (splashes sodium hydroxide onto stained filter paper) Tadah! Magic right?
Lee Lip: (missed the entire show) What? What?
Cikgu: (makes another stain and grabs a colourless solution off the table *Note: There are heaps of diff colourless solution on the table*) *sploosh* TADAH!
The stain does not disappear. It just smudges.
We stare.
Cikgu: (looks at the solution) Oh, I use wrong solution. (grabs another solution) *sploosh* Nah!
The stain starts to fade.
Cikgu: Hah, you see.
The faded stain remains and does not disappear completely.
We just stare again.
Cikgu: (looks at the bottle) Ethanol? (mutters to himself) Did I just use ethanol?
Me: Dunno.
Cikgu: (sniffs at filter paper) I think I did. (peers for the sodium hydroxide label and grabs the RIGHT bottle this time) *sploosh* Hah!
The stain FINALLY disappears.
We just continue staring.
Oh. And just now in the exhibition lab, while we were all setting up the things...
Emm: (spots the wire thing game, you know, the one the one where you have to trace the wire and not whack it?) I wanna play!
The whole time she was tracing the thing, me, Joyce, Cas, Janet and Steven kept coming up with ways to distract her.
The moment she touched, the buzzer sounded.
All of us: (triumphantly) EEEKKKK!!! YOU"RE OUT!
Emma: (annoyed) SHUT UP!!!
Me: Cikgu, do we get any prize if we get through this successfully?
Cikgu: (guffaws) Yes, you get an exercise.
Me: ...
After a while...
Me: Cikgu we're making gold coins in the Chem exhibition, so mebbe you can take it and give as prize?
Cikgu: (apparently only heard the Chem part) Yes, we can give them vinegar from Chem to drink.
Forget it, I give up.
In the Bio part of the lab...
Joyce: Let's take this body apart and assemble it again.
After a long time...
Cas: Aiyah, so difficult wan! I bet tomorrow everyone can't do wan.
Me: (annoyed and start shaking the body a little) Oy, go in you stupid organ -
The stupid head falls off and whacks me.
I didn't know the head was detacheable wad!
After replacing the head...
Alicia, me and Joyce: (squishing organs into the body) OY, FIT IN FIT IN FIT -
The body shakes violently.
The head falls again and since I'm the one right in the middle, directly beneath it...
Me: (wails painfully as it hits my arms AGAIN) WOI!!!
Head clanks onto the table and makes a huge din.
Cikgu Anita and Cikgu Susanna: (from nearby and jumping) SIAW HUI!!!!!!!!! Haiyor!!
Me: (wailing pathetically) Whatttttttttt
While doing the Moral poster for the exhibition...
Kim: (while colouring a mother holding a baby) Cher, colour the lips of this mother and make her look HAWT!
Jas, me, Cher: (blinks repeatedly)
When colouring the Parliament building...
Cher: (wails) OMG! I make the building look like... it's so... UGLY!!
Akmal: (takes a look at it) Oh my God Cher, that is so ugly!
Cher: (wails even louder) Oh my God! I destroyed it!
Akmal: (wails even louder than her) CHERLING YOU KILLED DEMOCRACY!
Me: ...
When Satnam was down on the floor, colouring...
Sat: Oy, I feel someone poking a manila card up my arse!
We turn around and see Akmal. Akmal looks up from his manila card and notices our stares.
Akmal: WHAT??!!
A bit later...
Sat: Eh, I feel like farting. Whoever's sitting behind me will get full blast of it.
Kim and I turn around and see Akmal still sitting directly behind him.
We burst out laughing.
Akmal: (indignant) WHAT??!!!
Okay, that's all I can remember. I have a date now....
WITH MY DINNER LA IDIOTS!
