today was a good day XP
- Tuesday, June 29, 2010 -
it was really beautiful, on so many different levels and in so many different ways =]
(perhaps, apart from the fact that it was really, really, really, cold T_T)
woke up this morning and the skies were a vibrant cloudless blue and it was FREEZING. took me ages to get out of bed ><
but yes, when i walked outside i realised there was some frost on the grass! XD and then i walked past this house where the entire lawn was frosted up:

and i'm weird, i know, but somehow it was just... such a magical moment. it was like wow! - almost as pretty as snow, but not exactly XD and you could see all these crystals of ice on the grass and flowers, and it was really really pretty ^^

then in chem we were basically bludging. we made soap! hahaha and while waiting for the soap to "saponify" (i'm probably not using the term correctly, but meh) we played with sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide and indicator XP we were trying to get a rainbow and it kind of worked (by the time i took this photo the red/pink had died already ><")

here's our "soap" HAHAHAHAHA. that's romesh's hand btw. we were all like o.O why do you hold the stirring spoon so weirdly? it was really funny, because we added peppermint fragrance to it but it looks like pumpkin soup. to the extent that when we decide to name our soap romesh goes, "duh, call it pumpkin soup!" (while intending to say soap. hmmm. doesn't make sense - have to be there to find it funny XP)

so yes, peppermint scented pumpkin soap? XP
the highlight of the day was when lee and HTL and corporal zhang randomly popped up! *beams very widely* YAY! they are evil - they said they would visit more often but hmph, this is the only time they've come back this term. lil was so excited XP hahaha, there she is taking a luvo with them XP

(my camera does weird things sometimes. but it's quite awesomely weird XP... red flare and white washed out corner o.O)
and then there was leaders! and last week of term = party XD played alot of games, but salvation was really hilarious XP

(photos courtesy of moo, who kindly agreed to take photos while i played XP) basically it's tag with slightly more complicated rules. whoever's tagged gets put into the enemy jail, and it's called salvation because if you happen to get to the enemy line and yell out salvation, everyone is set free except you, and you're put into jail in their place =(
quotes of the game were: "NOOO DON'T LET THEM GET SALVATION! GO AND STOP HIM FROM SAVING THEM!"
justin, (who managed to bypass enemy defence) "wait what's the word again? retribution?"
LOL. XD

good times, good times ^^
it's rather unbelievable that trials are in... what... just about 4 weeks' time?!! and it seems like graduation is just around the corner. there's so much reluctance already, how will i survive? T_T
and mr wong was discussing with jazz last week what we're going to be singing at our farewell assembly and we were all like, "noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo T_T don't want to think about that yet T_T"
in the meantime, i'm just going to cherish every single moment left. even the bad ones, like preparing for exams T_T
because i am so undeservingly blessed, but God is so infintely awesome <3
