the cup at serangoon mac.

The usual suspects, along with me, headed towards Serangoon Mac to have lunch. While the majority settled for Fillet, I opted for something else- the McChicken. Yes, I alway seem to be the odd one out. We finished the meal rather quickly for some unusual reason and then proceeded to talk nonsense and keep a look out for a particular someone.
Earlier today, we had our chemistry SPA- Sickeningly Persistent Ass-hole assignments. I think my eyes are like cocked today cause I had apparently missed out a very important foot note in the experimental list. That there was no sulphuric acid. And guess what? I actually wrote it. There goes all the marks down the drain. Adding to that misery, I don't think I did well for the QA section as I was left clueless most of the time as to figure out what guess to test for. At one point, I even contemplated putting in all of the testers at the same time- the blue and red litmus, the yellow filter paper dipped in potassium dichromate and the wooden splint. But to actually allow the invigilators to have a good night's rest, I forgone that notion.
So, this is officially the second SPA that I have screwed up as of last year. By the way, because I used sulphuric acid, my entire equation is wrong wrong wrong. So yes, ladies and gentlemen reading this, do not commit the same err as I had.
I hate SPA.
Back to the main topic: the trip to Mac. I think the entire gang acted like a bunch of morons. There was Jonathan eating like a hamster. Then there was De wei putting in the fries into the shaker bag and taking them out again. Like...0.o? So after we have satisfied our insatiable appetites, we just sat around and waxed lyrical. But strangely though, half way into our conversation, our inner chemists took over.
It started when someone asked Jonathan to go purchase a packet of Mentos. The latter took quite a while and we were worried that he might have gotten himself lost. But, he came back. So, we decided to kick start our experiment.
It has been common knowledge that Mentos, when added to Coke, will result in a vigorous reaction; or so they say. So we tried. With the entire cup of Coke- Jonathan didn't want it anyway- we emptied one tube of Mentos into it. There was fizzling, but nothing happened. Thinking that more substrate is needed, Zheng Hui emptied the second tube. Still, nothing happened. And the last tube eventually ended up in Jonathan's pocket. The Mentos bar that costs 1.90 was gone in 1.9 seconds. Expensive time.
Hence, disappointed with the dismal results, we ended up mixing whatever we could. There was curry sauce, the seaweed powder for the fries and of course, the fries. It looked like crap. To end things off, I wrote on a piece of paper the name of the do-ers; Elmo, and dewei contributed his contact number which I mercifully removed the last digit.
Thus, the day ended; and I'm here, nothing to do, no drive to study, no drive to do anything. And I am beginning to feel guilty with all this precious time slipping through my fingers. I am surely going to regret this in the near future.
