Simple Plan- I'm Just A Kid
_______________
I woke up it was 7
I waited till 11
Just to figure out that no one would call
I think I got a lot of friends but I don't hear from them
What's another night all alone?
When your spending everyday on your own
And here it goes

[Chorus:]
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me
Tonight...

And maybe when the night is dead, I'll crawl into my bed
Staring at these 4 walls again
I'll try to think about the last time, I had a good time
Everyone's got somewhere to go
And they're gonna leave me here on my own and here it goes

[Chorus:]
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me

What the hell is wrong with me?
Don't fit in with anybody
How did this happen to me?
Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep
And every night is the worst night ever

I'm just a kid (5x)

I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world.

I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me tonight

I'm all alone tonight
Nobody cares tonight
Cause I'm just a kid tonight
_______________
-im just a kid who's in stress...haha...

Yesterday, you asked me something I thought you knew.
So I told you with a smile 'It's all about you'
Then you whispered in my ear and you told me too
Say 'If you make my life worthwhile, it's all about you



And I would answer all you're wishes, if you asked me to.
But if you deny me one of your kisses, don't know what I'd do.
So hold me close and say three words, like you used to do.
Dancing on the kitchen tiles, it's all about you.Yeah...

That's our Teachers' Day performance by Contemporary (Ameerul, Afiq, Asyrani, Azri, Azfar and Jazimin)...Guess I'm the only 'J' out of the 'A's...hmmm...Anyway I think its a good performance overall though many poeple say that my piano couldn't be heard...Some even thought I wasn't really playing but only immitating...I guess onli the stage people could hear(thanks Ming Li for hearing me out)...

There was once when there was some technical difficulty only to find out Rhadji didn't turn on his guitar volume or somthing like that...so me, Hakim and Ming Li had to bravely come out of stage and entertain the crowd...We were some clueless so we just did some clapping...Well, only some botehred to clap...anyway I was dissapointed in myself 'cuz only when I got home then I could think what better ways to entertain the crowd...it goes something like:

Jazimin: Hey Ming Li!
Ming Li: Hey Jazimin!
Jazimin: Well you sure look pretty today and you too Hakim!
Ming Li and Hakim: You too!
Jazimin: Hey do you know what our school vision is?
-Ming Li and Hakim deep in thought-
Hakim: Is it PRIZE?
Jazimin: Well...it has PRIZE but the main vision is "Great Pasir Ris Waves-Shaping Learners, Creating Leaders"
Ming Li: Oh yeah, yeah...it's on the wall outside the AVA theatrette
Jazimin: Yupz, so why not we make some Great Pasir Ris Waves here?
Hakim: Ok!With pride and zeal that is!
Jazimin: So Pasirians, we not we make a wave from the back of the hall to the front and then from the front of the canteen to the back?
Ming Li: Ok, so at the count of 3, we will do from the hall to the canteen
Jazimin, Ming Li and Hakim:1, 2, 3!
-Great Pasir Ris Waves-
Ming Li: Ok, thats all we have, Happy Teachers' Day and enjoy the concert!

[silicon oxide or silica is used to absorb water]




this is what is extracted when crude oil is being fractionally distilled
-petroleum gas
-petrol
-naptha
-kerosene
-diesel oil
-lubricating oil
-bitumen

the ones at the top have shorter chains than the ones at the bottom beacuse since they have shorter chains, they have a lower boiling points and so can condense at the top.Bitumen will not boil to the gaseous state but instead flow out of the frationating column
well...u can ask ameerul on how to remember the fraction order...yeah...

WHY? Red Cross Youth is a uniformed group and we deserve to have a POP...its tradition! Just that we didn't have it when Royce sir's and Chung Hang's batch step down...but we had it when Yong Cheng sir stepped down...so, why can't we have it this year...my idea is very grandiose: where we invite people from other school, people from other UG, head of departments and even principal and Vprincipal...why not? haighz....guess i have to talk Mr Halim out...

Apocalypse
I woke up this morning with great reluctance, but thank God its the June holidays. Otherwise I'll start my short skit and act like I'm sick just to skip school. I wore my specs and then stared blankly at the ceiling, thinking of what to do. I guess I have to continue on my mountain height homework.

After bathing and having my non-so-mouth-watering breakfast, I dragged my body to the study room and chucked myself on the chair and started doing my homework. My mind wasn't focused on the Physics 5Year Series exam paper but instead on life.

I was thinking of me in a place I have always dreamt of. A place by the calming sea, a place where the flowers bloom and a place where people really enjoy themself. Just imagine yourself in board shorts, sleeveless shirt and a black neck band, sitting on the floor of the beach while watching children playing merrily. Then came a group of college students in their beach attire and starting to play a game of beach volleyball. Just imagine.

Unfortunately I came back to reality and saw the sky turning dark as the clouds marched in. Instantaneously, I got up and started closing all the windows myself since nobody else is at home. Today is different. Very different. Strangely, the clouds that conquered the sky began to rotate in a circle. Flocks of birds were then seen flying in the same direction and residents came out of their homes, looking out to the sky in curiosity. Drops of water started to fall and soon the morning was dark and stormy. I felt fear hugging me. A fear that something bad might happen. I threw myself on my bed and clutched my favourite pillow. Strange 'whooshing' noises began to be heard. "God, help me...I'm really scared." My heart began to pump faster as I felt a cold sensation runnning from my toes to the end of my hair. I dared myself to peep out of the window. I was very much taken aback when I saw people walking lazily towards the carpark. I got scared. Really scared.

After a few minutes of torture by the sights and sounds on that very morning, I saw the world starting to fall on me. The ceiling began to crack. I took this precious moment to reflect. The sins and good deeds I have done. Tears of fear ran down my shut eyes. I remembered, the moments of folly and the moments of joy. I remembered, of all the ups and downs my family went through. I remembered, about the days that I wasn't on good terms with the members of my family. I remembered, of the days when we came back together again. I cried even louder as I reflect on the things I did to my mom. The tears and joy I brought her. There's just so much things I haven't done for her. Too much. I regret. I should have been a more filial son. But it's too late now.

The time I wished would happen like in another few years time came too soon. It's here. Here now. The last day. The apocalypse.

>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

> 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...
