Calculators and Metal Extraction

Note: this is an ORIGINAL joke created by Jael and I.


Q: Why are 3 Casio calculators found at the bottom of a blast furnace in the process of iron extraction from haematite?




*suspense*




A: Calcium Oxide formed from the decomposition of Calcium Carbonate in the furnace reacts with the impurity, Silicon Dioxide in haematite.

CaO + SiO2 --> CaSiO3

And this forms Calcium Silicate.
Or rather, 3 Casio Calculators, if you examine the chemical formula of Calcium Silicate.

If you still don't get why there are 3 casio calculators, think of it in this way.

Let CaSiO be represented by the letter X.

So,
(CaSiO3) = (CaSiO)(3) = (X)(3) = 3X = X+X+X =Casio calculator+casio calculator+casio calculator=3 casio calculators



Wow that maths was worse than calculus.

Oh wait.

Is that you laughing at that joke? =O

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

now, back to reality!
HAPPY LABOUR DAY IN ADVANCE!

I guess this year we'll really be going through labour on labour day.
(bad pun)
Think of all the piles of notes we'll be going through...
The amount of amaths we'll be doing...
Amaths...Geog...Bio...Physics...

Oh my Holey Partially Permeable Membrane!!!!!!!!!!
(i wonder if you noticed the second bad pun ^_^ HINT: read it out loud)



Ok. Let me spread some helpful golden words of advice.
We should all think POSITIVE.

There was this quote made by Helen Keller, an insipring author, who is blind.
She said: "Keep your face to the sunshine, and you'll never see the shadows."

I first heard of this when my MindChamps instructor, Kayne, wrote it on the board. I mulled over it for a minute when he was explaining the meaning of it to us.

Alas, my unhealthy obsession with science caused this to be blurted out from my buccal cavity. (mouth=buccal cavity,for all you non-biological-folks out there)

"Uh... Then if there's a solar eclipse, this quote is technically wrong, hor?"

Kayne: "....."

Class: *stares at science boffin*

Eh... all physics students out there... I am not exactly wrong, right??? At least technically.

Oohh ya I bought this Biore Pore Pack today. Tried one. And got amused. You won't believe how many clogged pores I have. I didn't believe my sebum glands either. Though I am still disgusted at how many of those 'things' are stuck onto the pore pack, I am absolutely amazed by it.

Looking at the amount of oil my nose produces per unit time, all that oil on the pore pack could have been used to fry an egg. I mean seriously!!!

In conclusion I think biore pore packs are good. Hehe. Happy with the results. =D

Have a great day!

Nerdiness

found these jokes on a hwa chong institution chemistry website.
Read on to find out how a chemistry nerd expresses his love.
(hello mrs chan)
enjoy!

What does one do with a dead body? Barium
They should have seen the doctor first, he'd Curium.
Perhaps with a housplant, a Germanium.
And if they stole it, the police would Cesium.
Locked up for life, in Irons.
They would go crazy in jail, a Silicon.
Maybe they're into plastic surgery.
What does the surgeon do for low cheeks, Lithium.
To large gashes? Sodium.


A Neutron walked into to a bar and said: "How much for a drink?"
And the bartender said: "No charge!"


Q: Why did the white bear dissolve in water?
A: It was polar


HAHAHA!!!

and this love poem is my absolute favourite.


I am attracted to you
Like an electron to a proton
Together we form an ionic bond
Though we are opposite charged ions
I am drawn towards you
Our love is unique as an orbital
For only two electrons can fill this space
As my love for you increases
My energy level rises
I am in this excited state
Increasing the tendency to form a chemical bond
I was an element
It took you to make me a compound substance
Falling in love with you is a chemical reaction
Which cause my love for you to grow
Ours is an exothermic love
Each for giving off love not just absorbing it
Sometimes you do something especially nice
Which speeds up the chemical process
Like a catalyst in my increasing love for you
I realise we have our inhibition periods
And sometimes I am selfish enough
To be an endothermic reaction
Only absorbing your love
The feeling I have for you is so intense
It cannot be measured in kilojoules
Often I have to make a qualitative elementary analysis
To understand and love you more
But I don't expect to know your empirical formula
You are too complex a person for that
When you are gone
I am a noble gas
An inert substance
When I am without you
The world seems still
And I am at equilibrium.


Cannot tahan! Maybe Hwa Chong boys are the best potential boyfriends ever. (I think.)

WHAHAHAHA

=D

The Way I Think

Whee

Spoofs

If you're a Singaporean, chances are you know the song "One People One Nation One Singapore".

Yeah you get which one I was referring to.

I've just recalled one spoof of this song which Mrs Joseph, my primary school teacher, taught us...

One table,
four people,
let's play mahjong!

Yup. Later Junie and I gleefully added on to the chorus.

That's the way we win money,
forever more!

Due to the horrifying yet glorifying workload which has been presented to me so far my sec4 life in TKGS, I just thought of another spoof.

One mugger,
Two muggers,
TKGS!

That's the way we score six points
for O levels!

I feel that I can really relate to the 'one mugger, two muggers' part. SAMANTHA!!! She hasn't been eating her rightful share of recess nowadays.
oh great. We have to bear with it don't we. =D

on serious issues

Hydrogen Iodide, humans!

To all my darling darlie juniors:
secondary 4 life is inversely fun. The amount of work we get can get bananas even in relatively peaceful times like January. Peaceful because there are no major exams to scare the daylights and photons out of us. But it seems queer. I actually feel that sec 4 life is GOOD FOR ME. I feel like I'm consistently hardworking nowadays. (whoops! But here I am blogging before doing my homework. =D)

hehe!

On teachers:
I like the way Mrs Irene Wong (ok, Ms Irene Wong) teaches us Social Studies. Her explanations have cleared most of my doubts about SS. (Thanks for that SEQ type 1,2,3 thing today!) I have heard students criticizing her, (eg. ms wong is boring, she cannot teach, yadder infinity) but I STILL think that her teaching is great! Imagine a 3-science student like me NOT FALLING ASLEEP DURING HER CLASS! It's a miracle itself. She makes SS so easy. Haha. We'll see how I do for next week's SS CA. =)

Ooh yes. Mrs Chan! Her chemistry lessons are great, but I don't like memorizing tables... (testing for cations, anions, gases) Tables make me sleep. (on the other hand I sleep on tables during Legacy) My favourite bit about Mrs Chan's lessons is the last 10 minutes or so... When she talks to us and motivates me indirectly to work harder. And when she tells us that we can do it. Or tells us some interesting stuff that we should not know.

And I'm taking this opportunity to thank Mrs Chan for helping me to smell Sulphur Dioxide gas. It smelt wonderful. Not. HAHA!

Mr John Lavin... Our new english teacher. He is super tall.(angmoh, what) Like one head above my puny build of 161.2m and 52.9kg. He makes me feel SHORT. But his english lessons are pretty fun and he's really nice. >_<>

Ms Yeo... ok, I was pissed off when she put me in amaths remedial for term 1 and 2. (a1 not good meh?) Very pissed off. But I later realised that... Hey, she cares for us and really wants us to score well. Sorry Ms Yeo. Took your concern in the wrong way. =( Miss Yeo has this incredible ability that enables her to know whether I've studied hard for a test or not. So Shi Hui, start doing amaths. NOW. If not Miss Yeo scold you. =P

On Friends:
Had a somewhat serious chat with Samantha today after recess. I learned that leaning on the metal barricade thingy (that prevents you from plummeting from the 4th floor to the 1st floor at 9.81m/s^2 until terminal velocity), and looking at the circular staircase while chatting is therapeutic. Sam shocked me by telling me that she feels that her classmates don't like her very much. I have the same sentiments. And it's partly because I like being alone. I've thought all along that Sam is a very sociable girl. Oh well. Samantha is like the most fructose-like girl ever.

It has been scientifically proven (and studentally proven) that sugar dissolves in water. That is why Sam should not stand in the rain, which is slightly corrosive too.

Ok enough crap. Honestly, I think that everyone in my class dislikes me or has something against me. Especially this girl who wears armani specs. You know who you are. And I don't know why they don't like me. Some say it's because I am... 'sciency'. I'm proud of that proven hypothesis, actually. To cut a long story short, I have NO IDEA why people don't seem to like to talk to me. The only reason I can think of is that I'm quiet and reserved.
Or maybe, everyone views everyone as an academic rival. And if that is true, this world would be a sad place. And I think that's true, because the world IS a sad place in the first place, because everyone wants to be in the first place. Pun intended. (btw i am NOT depressed, just voicing my opinions, and squeezing humour out of sadness)

The feeling of stress is now rendered as nothing to me. Must be the work of countless CAs every week.

Inspite of all these sad truths, a shining, gleaming white streak that travels in a straight line at a velocity of 2.997 x 10^8m/s remains in my head. And to make things better, this streak carries photons. And this streak of photons are undergoing total internal reflection in the wires of my metal-lined brain, releasing happiness-inducing particles by the photoelectric process along the way.

It's SLS.
(the above description was pure nonsense that was made to sound cheem)

But SLS is not nonsense. It is essential ISsense. (geddit, NON is the opposite of IS. kinda.)

I really look foward to mugging with ju and sam in the library before the O Levels. Ju can help us with amaths, Sam can help me with humanities, and I can..... help to eat whatever cookies Sam's mum baked? HAHAHA! Mugging with a few (not too many) good friends is fun.

And I am already imaging myself in Hwa Chong JC and Sam in NJC... We could meet for lunch. LOL. And I will bring my science-and-binomial-theorem-loving friends along with my albert-einstein-loving self.

Ah. Goals.

we are finally unshackled

I learnt the meaning of 10 difficult words at the MindChamps talk last Sunday...
So I shall attempt to use them now in this post.
(the 10 words will be in orange)

I woke up with this weird feeling in my stomach today. It felt like something spindrifting across the sea of hydrochloric acid in my stomach, right up to my ileum.

But I thought, "oh well, I can live with it, it's not like I have apoplexy or pyrexia.", and went to school.

The second lesson was amaths. Miss Yeo was actually considering the idea of taking the period after recess, which was a COMPLETE antithesis of our thoughts of going home during recess. The class felt really abject, and so did Miss Yeo. (because she didn't have time to finish going through our Set Theory HeyMath worksheets.)

I mean, which student would like to be shackled in class for an additional additional maths lesson on the last day of our extended study programme? (pun intended)

But, alas, praise Miss Yeo in the name of science! She decided NOT to have an extra lesson, and our depressing thoughts immediately became nebulous in our minds.

I later had lunch with Jael at the coffee shop located next to Katong Hostel.
There, I saw this mentally disabled guy actually regurgitate soya bean milk from his NOSE. It was pale yellow in colour, viscous, yucky, and most of all INTERESTING.

It made me get a flashback from back in primary school, when one of my friends was drinking grass jelly when someone told her a joke. She actually failed miserably in her attempt to swallow, chew, and laugh at the SAME TIME.

Grass jelly was slithering out of her nose.

My goodness. Oh yea! Jael spotted a bogus poor ah-pek in the coffeeshop, whom I suspected to be a smart and rich guy from looking at his face. (eh I know some face-reading one you know)

He had ears which were placed unusually high relative to the top of his eyebrows. In fact, the top part of his ears were higher than the highest point of his eyebrows-a facial feature rarely seen on the faces of asians.

According to what I have read, this is an indication that the person is highly intelligent. (Look at steve jobs)

He also had eyes that were placed near to his nose bridge, a sign that he is someone who can concentrate well.

So I asked Jael, "Is he rich, successful, smart, or something?"

And she said "YA!!!".

He was the ex-principal of Dunman High School, and has written a chemistry handbook or something of the sort. And he is apparently going to work in the MOE HQ soon. Thus I don't think that he's uxorious.

Omg I felt so happy lah. My face-reading skills quite accurate hor? Hehe. With more practice, I may just be able to make face-reading my $$$-generator.

There was this guy smoking in the coffeeshop. So blardy irritating to my brain AND to my precious lungs. That reminds me. Once, when the bus I was sitting in passed by Temasek Secondary, I saw this group of secondary school boys SMOKING outside the school. What the? What audacity?! Cigarettes, cigars eg. cheroots, and all other types of things that people can smoke should be BANNED GLOBALLY! Smoking is BAD, it doesn't do any good to you FINANCIALLY and besides, it makes you real sick, which also leads to financial loss.

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

I just found out earlier than Shi Hui and Elain have gotten into the classes of their choice... 3/6 and 3/7, respectively. So.....

CONGRATULATIONS!

Hehe! And both of you ah, please go and buy a circle template for yourself! It's that plastic plate thingy with lots of circular holes on it. It's holey and you'll need it for chemistry... That chapter on drawing the electron arrangement of atoms and molecules. Dun buy now will regret later. Coz by the time your teacher tells you to buy, you'll find that it's sold out. Hehe!

And elain... Don't be sad about your blog k. Just go to google and search for the address of your blog. You're one lucky girl. It's cached, which means that you can still retrieve *at least* the first page of the posts shown on the blog. And don't treat me. I also wun treat you. Coz we must TREAT EACH OTHER!!! Set ah. Go Swensens. =D Ice cream cake. Yay!

Think about it. I never really talk seriously to you two face to face before. (i mean sh and elain) Hehe.

Today, my mummy bought lots of coloured pens and markers for me. Spent around $33.65 in total. The set of "Clean Colour" markers cost like $22.75. So expensive right. But my mum said that she tested alot of the pens and felt that the Clean Colour markers were the best. But I feel real bad. They are like so expensive. Some more she recently blew 4k so that I can go for the MindChamps Success 4 Life course. I FEEL DAMN BAD. Nevermind. I can make it up to her by doing more housework I guess. =D The markers and coloured pens are for the MindChamps course that begins next year. (my classes are on Sunday) I believe that I can gain alot from this course.

I WANT to gain alot from this course and unlock my full potential for the O levels.
Hwa Chong JC! =D
That's where all the nerds are.
That's where my father was.
That's where I want to be.

Edha's moving to one of the top private schools in Australia now. And she says that the yearly school fees cost an exorbitant but expected S$10,000 per year. (not per month, relax)

Private school mah.Maybe the facilities and the teachers are very good leh?

ALAMAK! HCJC is a private school is it? Wah lau den my parents have to waste money on me again ahhhhhhh!!!

=d

I've got lots of homework to complete.

ok lah. I'm off to eat my super crispy 1A black pepper chicken currypuff. =D

all the best in finishing your homework!!! =D

Nerds are the most successful people in the world (who can sustain their success too)

Found this quote from Wikipedia by searching for the word "nerd".

"…what they lack in physical strength they make up in brain power. Who writes all the best selling books? Nerds. Who directs the top grossing Hollywood movies? Nerds. Who creates the highly advanced technology that only they can understand? …Nerds. And who are the people who run for the high office of the Presidency? No one but nerds."

I so agree with this statement!!! (Because I obviously lack physical strength, if you have seen me during PE lessons. I have flat feet, a ridiculously poor stamina AND sense of balance while standing in a moving bus. My reflexes are worse.)

Just look at the richest chap in the world: Bill Gates.

Is he good looking?
NO.

Does he dress fashionably?
Er?

Is he smart?
Hell yes! He was from Harvard.

Is he physically strong and good in sports?
I haven't seen any sources from the internet discussing about this topic. So I assume that he wasn't great at it.

SEE? Bill Gates is obviously a nerd. HEHE.
Once, during a PE lesson, we were playing softball. (which I absolutely abhor because I am so blardy slow in running)
And I overheard Victoria saying that people who are good in sports are all good in their studies.
I say, IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE? This is just a poor hypothesis which has not been proven. -_-
I strongly believe that mental power is more superior than physical strength.
Physical strength is not permanent, it will leave you when you're older.
And oh yes.
Beauty perishes after you become old. (that's for all the bimbos out there)
Only brain power stays with you for a lifetime.

Yes, models and sportspeople may earn huge chunks of money pretty fast if they're good,
but can their talent be used to their financial and social advantage forever?

=O

So hey,
what's so bad about nerds? =D

help!

I need a tagboard!!! =D

The Return of the Heng

You all remember who's Mr Heng, don't you?

Well.

Okay. So I was walking out of the 1/2 classroom today after the physics practical.

I turned left, towards the pathway leading to the side gate.

You all know the carpark place that is directly next to our school, behind the green netting thingy?

Yeah!

I saw Mr Heng with some other woman there. He still looked like how he looked the last time we saw him.

Hmmmmm I wonder what's up with those 2... =/

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
I shall leave it to your imagination. =p

hehehe hello

This first post is dedicated to elain.

it was she,
who inspired me to set up this blog.

and

it was because,
of some silly survey that she wants me to do.

BUT!!!

I've been thinking about setting up my own blog for a long time already.
A blog that belongs to me and only watashi!!! =D
A virtual place where I can rant on about life and how science can be applied to life, etc.
A blog I can manipulate. (?)

Sorry! Enough rubbish. Now I shall explain why I chose this blog address!

Well it's because:
1) I have been obsessed with science since I was a kid
2) I like albert einstein
3) I like LIGHT! (and brightly lit places)
4) Light is made up of photons (which explains why I HAD to put the word 'photons' in the address)
5) And I feel that nowadays, time is passing me by at a ridiculously fast rate, relative to my bio-clock. (which explains the existence of the word 'velocity' in the address)

SO THERE YA GO! =D
