Friday, February 04, 2005,11:15 PM its wierd i m sick. fnally having a cough. guess i m really down with a cold. i can feel the heat coming up BUT the thermometer says no.. i am now 36.7degrees.. another 0.1 degrees and the school will send me for inspection for SARS on a theremometer day. haha..i m the COOL rep. ^_* today went to school as usual. started the school really not very well. did a chemistry practical that requires us to get recrystallisation of an ester. chemicals involved are benzyl chloride and phenol and NaOH. well, phenol is corrosive and benzyl chloride is VERY corrosive. i think i wasnt really awake, thus i din wear the gloves. yq poured the phenol into the conical flask, somehow, he spilled some phenol on the outer sides of the conical flask. me without knowing, touched the sides with the back of my palm. hmm..well. corrosive phenol = burnt. there was a sting on my hand i started feeling the pain. immediately i rinsed my hand under the tapwater BUT, too late. corrosive so now got a burnt scar le. at the end of the lesson, like 2hr15min later, my teacher offered me burning cream. after such a LONG time. too late le la i think... i suppose i will have a scar.char says i wun but i think i will. look carefully at the burnt mark and u will know why i say so. then as if the burnt wasnt enough, i almost tripped over a retort stand on the floor. then yq hit me with his foolscrap pad and hit my ear. ha..i woke up on the wrong side of the bed. haha.. after school, stayed back all the way till4 to wait to meet char and zi for movie at lido-finding neverland. quite nice, char say it was very touching.i thought its quite touching. but i was busy coughing and sniffing in the cinema.. was kinda distracted by the subtitles and.. i kept noticing this foreign guy sitting in front of me. he was like 40+ yrs old? haha..he seems to be smiling thru out the show.. like he still has some childhood innocence in him. so cute. after movie we went paragon delifrance eat. i ate a sandwich and char ate a sandwich meal. we then drank coffee and talked all the way till 10? funny.. dunno was it i was sick and tired and my head was heavy or wat.. i had little to say. or was it that my life wasnt that interesting? or have we ran out of common topics to say that interest all? or was it the different life that we are leading now? its almost like out of fifty sentences, twenty was spoken by char, another twenty by zi and the last ten was by me. most of the time, i was looking at the crowd or plainly listening without a comment. maybe a smile or something. its been a long time, we recognised that difference in us. we said we are used to the differences so it doesnt matter anymore. but, isit all but an excuse? an excuse to make us feel "resigned"? i dunno. on the last time the three of us went out, i felt the exact same thing. we talk about teachers in our schools just that mine is different from them. we talk about our classmates just that i hardly get to know the pple they say. they talk about being treated as tai-tai and classy but i have nothing to comment on. its not that its irritating to say, even without these, there's really nothing much to talk about. we get to know more thru these topics that seem common yet uncommon, it's really ok to say them, even if its almost like the topic every time we meet. the topics really arent all that important, but it just highlights the difference in us. u know, the three of us are just like the three mrt lines in singapore. north-east line, north-south line and east-west line. we're all different in our own way, heading different ways. *maybe its wat they say: when u are confortable with your frends and u reach that kind of familarity, silence becomes golden.* but isit true?
