Hey guy's I've been having requests to put up my whole IHS essay up here, but noooo I'm not risking it. So I'll just put up one paragraph for you to refer to XD May not be that good lol, but it's the best I've got.

---Self righteousness is a justified reason for conflict when the "right" which the "self" is fighting for saves lives and prevents or stops human suffering. One such example is when America entered World War 1. Initially, America was a neutral country not participating in the war. However, Germany started attacking neutral shipping, including merchant ships, with their submarines, causing loss of life and goods. This, coupled with Germany's secret British-intercepted proposition with Mexico to invade America, drove American public sentiment about war to a breaking point, leading America into participating in World War 1 so as to prevent Germany from causing further misery and death. At the end of the war, Germany was defeated and the attacks on neutral shipping stopped, America had fulfilled her goal. As the starting of the conflict prevented more potential loss of life, self-righteousness is a justified reason in this context.---

Rawr! I'm in serious need of mugging. And we've just got piles of homework. Like, today we got five past year papers to do or something... Disgusting.

Haha I was watching the videos off school nationals. http://schoolnationals.mediacorptv.sg/videos.htm
Note - See that yellow boat? I touched it before. Haha. Got into loads (okay, actually it was just a scolding) of trouble for touching it. Erk. It's not like I damaged it or anything, just that I shouldn't touch other school's stuff. But that was like, two years back?

Mmmm... Now that there's no more canoeing, I feel the mug bug coming on me. Eww. I just finished chinese tuition, going for maths tuition in ten minutes. So...

CYA.

Okay, back from tuition. Lemme just tell you about something that happened during chemistry practical test today...

Truthfully, I already knew the answers to the practical. Everyone knew. Haha. Zinc sulphate and copper(II) carbonate. But of course, I couldn't just write the answers or things will look suspicious.

Haha on the first try I put the SAMPLE M (made up of soluble+insoluble salt) into water, didn't stir properly. Then when I filtered it I was afriad the salt didn't dissolve properly, so I got rid of the filter paper, washed everything and went to get more SAMPLE M and filter paper.

I was kinda rushing on the second try already, because everyone was ahead of me. Hurriedly stuffed the filter paper down the funnel. GUess what? I found green stuff ending up in the beaker the funnel was dripping into. The green solid is copper carbonate, which does not dissolve in water. It's not supposed to get past the filter paper!! So guess what? I did it the third time.

Haha and the stupid green stuff ended up in the beaker AGAIN. I was really quite agitated. So I just took what was left of the residual green stuff and the filter paper and continued the experiment. Got rid of the stuff in the beaker. I was desperate kay?

Okay after that things went quite normally, managed to do the filtration properly on the fourth try, after finishing the residue parts...

But due to lack of enough filtrate after try number four, I did a fifth filtration. Urgh. That's like 15 spatulas of SAMPLE M wasted. Haha oh well I paid for it in lab fees anyway...

Hey girl, I wanna catch your wave. How many times have I done it already? =]

Bye again.
