Let's Go Green!: Chemical disasters

Today is a day to be remembered, where six chemical accidents just happened in a row.

For the first time in my life, I broke a lab apparatus.

Accident-prone peeps

Well, there was this delivery tube and this rubber tube and then there was me.

Trying to insert the delivery tube into the rubber tube.

Marilyn: =.=" So bo-lak hor.

Me: (glare at Marilyn and try harder)

*crack*

Us: O_O"

Once in a lifetime experience. Who knows delivery tubes can come apart like that.

But that's disaster no. 2. Disaster no. 1 is Marilyn very nearly burning the lab down when she threw the filter paper that caught fire (while collecting non-existent soot from combustion of ethanol) into the sink.

Then when we did Part 2 of our experiment, our apparatus flooded. Water suddenly travelled the other way around so we had to re-do. Teacher said this class comes up with funny problems.

Then Amanda broke another delivery tube. And had to sign Rekod Pecah, like me. :P Oh, but she was trying to pull the rubber stopper out. I think delivery tubes and rubber things don't blend very well.

But before that, Amanda and her group mistaken bromine water as ethanol and wasted one experiment wondering why ethanol is brown. -_-" So genius.

And when Marilyn walked back with a dropper filled with bromine water... well, by the time she got back to our table, the dropper was empty - she emptied it on the way back.... on the floor.

Miss Susie gave us this game to play when she sat in for our class. We had to find words which rhymes with our names. And we made this for Andrea. :)

Her name is Andrea

Which rhymes with Olivia

They both read encyclopaedia

On the way to Bolivia

Then they got diarrhoea

Which they thought was malaria

So they refer to Wikipaedia

... And then we laughed too hard that we couldn't continue anymore. Abigail had a more interesting one but we got too carried away that I can't remember any of it now... except there was something about her in jail and a pail and she got bail and then she fail and she... sails? -.-"

There was this toy gun in class today. Some people thought that it was an air gun. Some thought that there were pellets in it. And I wanted to try fire it.

Adeline J.: Fire it there! *points away*

Maxine: Can you fire it lower?

Me: I very scared la!

Maxine: Lai la! *takes gun*

Me: Wait! Are you going to fire it?

Maxine: Yes.

(Everybody took cover, even those sitting further away... you know, just in case the pellets bounce back)

Maxine: *fires*

So anti-climax ok. Nothing came out in the end.

And just to end this post, I'll tell you about our Whispering Game.

We were busy whispering.

Maxine: (whisper into my ears) Psst psst psst!
