It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care
I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
That's coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
Once upon a song
Now I know your not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I can tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you
I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind
Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you

Just when to Raffles Institution(RI) for the Inner Circle Programme-Chemistry in Action. Erm..it was really fun but there are concepts and reasons behind each and every experiment we did. Just to share with you a few experiments we did and the reason behind it. But generally, most of the lab activity we did on the first day was behind this concept-Exothermic and Endothermic Changes. 'Chim' eh? Want to know what is it? Okay, exothermic is the giving out of heat energy, causing a temperature rise in the surroundings. Endothermic is the taking in of heat energy and cool the surrounding environment. To prove that, we had to do 5 'tests', each 'tests' with 2 reactants. In each 'tests', we were supposed to mix the 2 reactants together and see if the test tube feels warmer or cooler and conclude if it's an exothermic or endothermic change.
Next we build 'stalagmites' using sodium acetate and deionised water. Then we pour the sodium acetate slowly over the sodium acetate crystals on the tray. We had a competition onto which pair had the highest 'stalagmites'. Supposed the boy and I had the highest 'stalagmites' but it was so fragile that it dropped in less than a minute. Sobs.. But eventually, no pair won as the 'stalagmites' are really really very fragile. Haha.. That was cool..
Actually I wanted to post about the termite reaction that we did, but it was a little complicated that me myself don't really understand the concept behind it. But I can briefly tell you what we did. Firstly, my teacher put 3 chermical (in powder form) together. Then she placed a magnesium ribbon down into the mixture and light the fuse. Soon, the mixture produced light, heat and sound energy. Sparks and Flames shot up and a extremely hot, glowing red solid was formed.
Another one was mixing 2 chemicals together and when the teacher off the light, the 2 chemical glowed in the dark. That was an exothermic reaction. Those 2 chemicals are use in glow stick to see in the dark, eg. caves, deep in the ocean.. Jellyfish and firely produce a similar type of light too. Another one was the mini 'bombs'. Real cool but real difficult to understand.
Last but not least, the most fun and exciting, the one and only outdoor activity.. For trial, we were given 6 alka-seltzer tablets (Each group), 3 buckets of water (whole class), a NeWater water bottle. and a rubber stopper. We were supposed to decide how much water, tablet to put and how much to shake. My group had a few tries and decided to put 125ml of water, 1 1/2 tablet and shake 13 times. And we had a competition, with above, my group won! Yay! The 'rocket'-water bottle shot 3 storeys high! PRo right? Haha.. We got a lollipop and a Periodic Table of the Elements, in Pictures! Hehe..
I had real great fun and true learning experience. Chemistry is cool but sort of difficult lah.. RI students are friendly and towering. Haha.. Long post~

Yesterday was like the 2nd last day with 5 Care. 4 girls cried.. Firstly, it was Jolyn. And this was why ~ Jolyn and Khairun have been best friends for 5 years and always in the same class. That's my point. But they are going to separate next year. Jolyn is remaining in the same class but Khairun is going to another class. Being friends for 5 years definitely cannot resist the pain of being in different classes. Why? Cos first of all, they will talk lesser than before. And with less communications, friendship won't be as strong as before.
Next was Shermaine. Now why? Erm.. She said there were 3 reasons. 1st: Amanda is neglecting her. 2nd: Zi Teng is going back to 6 Care! Actually, she don't want that because of she conflict and her own reasons. 3rd: I think it's about G-boy? Not to sure about this~
3rd was Denise. Exactly like Jolyn, Denise is remaining in the same class but Farisha is going to another class. Being friends since kidergarden definitely cannot resist the pain of being in different classes as well. But another reson why she cried was because she thinks that Farisha doesn't put this matter on heart. But she was WRONG! Farisha was indeed feeling something. Spotting that her eyes were watery, I knew that she was going to cry. But she insisted that she was not going to cry. Within minutes, she went into the 'store room' and started crying. She was feeling something! Strong on the outside but soft on the inside. Remember: Everyone has a soft side no matter how strong they look on the outside.
Finally, I had a feeling of unity. Sudden feeling. Suddenly feel like crying for the class. I wonder why. Always, today a few years ago, everything was like change class then led it be, nothing special. But this year, all seems different. Everyone seems emotional. I am, as well.
Thank You 5 Care! For all the laughers and tears! Thanks for the consolation! 5 Care all the way! Though next year we may not be in the same class but classmates forever, okay?

Within each of us is a hidden store of energy. Energy we can release to compete in the marathon of life.Within each of us is a hidden store of courage. Courage to give us the strength to face any challenge.Within each of us is a hidden store of determination. Determination to keep us in the race when all seems lost.
-Roger Dawson
