Teenage Pregnancy
>When I was walking home from tuition with Ameerul, I saw this pregnant lady from far holding the bottom of her 'pregnancy' dress
>As we walk closer, I saw her face. It was so familiar
>I then noticed that that girl was actually a school drop out from my school
>I gasp with buldging eyes. The phrase 'Teenage Pregnancy' printed out from my head
>It is sad how teenages can mess up their life just by making wrong decisions
>If she didn't had done such a thing, she would have taken her O'Levels this year
>God knows how well she fair for her N'Level, or whether she did it or not
>This ex-Red Cross cadet has changed

Dysfunctional Familes
>I walked a bit further and had to cross the road
>From far, I saw this mid 20year old half-naked guy at the void deck take a dust bin cover and hit it on a late 40 year old man
>I thought that guy must be crazy and made a loop around
>I had to see what happen
>I then saw the victim on the floor with another man
>Aftering ensuring the young man wasn't there anymore, I approached the victim
>Luckily his breathing and pulse was there and soon, he regaiend consciousness.
>He also survived with no injuries
>I learnt that the young man was his son, and the reason he hit him was that the old man had just quarrelled with his wife
>In my opinion, both parties are wrong. The old man shouldn't have quarrelled with his wife, especially when it's Mother's Day, and that young man shouldn't have injured his dad. He could have just confronted him. The old man said he wanted to report this matter to the police. By then, I made my way home, as I only wanted to make sure he is alright

Chemistry Practical (Before the war)
> I reached school and saw that there's nobody at the old foyer..Shocked and panicked
> They were already in the AVA lah...
- -gasp-! Ming Li forgot to bring her calculator!

> Then there's the potassium chromate lah and sumthin else...Dunno lah
> I don't think i'll fail for Chem prac mebbe 70% for just the practical?...hmm...

Tomorrow will be my Biology practical...I'll be studying for the whole of Biology anywayz...So much to study liao...21 Chapters!

..::ease of discharge::..

The ease of discharge follows the ions of the elements in the reactivity series, with the most recative metal being the most difficult to be discharged and the least reactive metal, the easiest to be discharged.

For the anions, the ease of discharge (ease increases) is shown below

Some..............Sulphate
Naughty..........Nitrate
Children..........Chloride
Borrowed........Bromide
Iodine.............Iodide
Hurriedly.........Hydroxide

..::reactivity series::..

The reactivity series is specially designed such that the element on the top is the most reactive while the bottom is the least reactive. The acronym sentence created helps in remembering the elements in order...

Pasir.............Potassium
Ris...............Rubidium
Students.......Sodium
Can..............Calcium
Make............Magnesium
A................. Aluminium
Crazy...........Carbon
Zoo...............Zinc
In..................Iron
The...............Tin
Large............Lead
Huge............Hydrogen
Chemical......Copper
Science........Silver
Garden.........Gold

Yes...Go Pasirians!...You can do it!...Pride and Resposibility!

..::hydrogen::..

[ 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O ]

Pure as water, I refreshingly started anew. I have promised myself not to go beserk again...
The hydrogen from cracking of dirty fossil fuel has now reacted with pure hydrogen. I hope this invigorating start of a new chapter would not switch lanes...
