Bond structures

Just to illustrate the ong-ness (redness) of our Chap Goh Mei celebration, here's a photo with the mobster in the house, Eric. I'm too lazy to find other pictures to put up so I shall just to stick to this one that I so randomly picked and hope you can envisage how everything turned out that night. :)

Things turned out good btw. :D


We brought down 8 cans of cookies and kuih kapits and came back with 4 cans of pineapple tarts, sesame peanuts, egg rolls and another sort of cookies whose name I know not. =) Gone was Yi Hui's diet plan for days. Although it's still relatively unsuccessful now. I hope she doesn't see this. Haha!

It was also partly because she made Lee Weei bring cookies down to P3 when she exercised! So now Lee Weei is tagging her with many many links of fat cartoons eating cookies. LOL!

On one of such photos,

Yeong Yeong:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LAUGH DIE ME LAUGH DIE ME HAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHA yihui this one your twin ah photostate one!!

Anyway, yesterday we had Chemistry lab and guess what we did! :D



We made bonds!!

We built bond models and here below is a tetrahedral shape! :D


And this is the shape of butane, built by Vee Vien and I. :)



And this below is our benzene ring which we are very proud of. See the alternate double bonds? :D:D


Just in case the whiter background above made you see stars and shadows. Haha. I had to secretly take these pictures because we were in a lab and I'm not sure if taking pictures is allowed. But since this isn't really an experiment (teacher said so) and we didn't need to wear our lab coat, I assumed it's okay. Ignorance is bliss. :P


Anyway the one below this is called a bent shaped molecule. And though the colour may not be right, it's the shape of our water molecule. =)


And just before the class ended, we rushed to finish our very last model of cyclohexane. :)


I think I really like Chemistry experiments like this that make me feel like a kid playing with lego rather than dangerous chemicals that might catch fire at any time.


And thus Chemistry ended. On a different note, I lost 4 marks in math quiz the other day. =(

At the risk of sounding kiasu (which I am not... not really.... I mean when compared to Amanda), I was quite bumped. :(



But I suppose the chem experiment kinda made up for it. Always look on the bright side of life! That's Yong Wei with his creation of a molecule that looks like a dog. =)
