And I can't believe it's coming true

I thought jamming yesterday was pretty good. Not superb, but reasonable I guess?

I think we still need to tighten those loose screws a bit.

We jammed a couple of random covers.

Since I've never really got to HEAR Hafiz sing, and since this is the first time we're jamming together as an actual band, I was pretty amazed by his vocal capabilities.

Haha, okay I know that sounds ridiculous, but since I'm the new member and all, it's not like I got to know everyone so well already.

We discussed a bit about the band competition (Overdrive 2006) too. What songs we were going to play and stuff like that.

The band competition sounds pretty exciting to me too. Will update in time to come!

Anyway, today is Day 1 of the whole NUS chemistry course thing.

IMO, it's not really that boring, but it's pretty lengthy (ie, the time frame of the whole event is a tad bit too long)

Everything can be finished up by 2pm I believe, but since all the professors on campus are so busy, I guess the extended prata breaks in between is a necessity.

Me and Keith paired up to to do an experiment which wants us to find out the percentage composition of calcium carbonate in eggshells.

If that doesn't ring a bell to those who just took Chemistry for an O Level subject, yes, we are doing titration.

Okay, most of you may be wondering, "WTF Bryan, isn't NUS supposed to be really high end with stuff that secondary schools don't have? What the hell are you doing TITRATION? Why aren't you synthesizing aspirin or something?"

Well the truth is, we were given a choice.

But me and Keith, being a bunch of lazy bums, decided to pick the easy way out.

Compared to the other 17 experiments we were allowed to choose from, this is A LOT more easier.

Perhaps I'm wasting my time doing titration when I could be doing something new.

But hey, it's not like this is exactly VERY new. For the first time I'm PLANNING a titration experiment, carrying it out, analysing the results, and having to present it at the end of the week.

If you ask me, this isn't all new.

Sure it might be a waste of time, but heck at least we won't hurt our brains trying to figure out how to extract caffeine from tea bags.

Oh so anyway I was on the MRT home with Keith. We took a train from Buona Vista.

And somewhere along the way we got into the link between two carriages. And to my left and right were a bunch of Caucasian tourists. Australians I guess?

And so the woman on the left said to the guy on the right, "HI!".

And me, being ever observant, and not wanting to appear UNFRIENDLY, turned and said "Hi?".

HAHAHA.

Oh well, the tourists has a little laugh. But the guy on the right was really nice.

He shook my hand and smiled. I smiled back too of course, just that I was terribly embarrassed.

And Keith was being a jackass by laughing all the time. Dammit.

Oh well I'm off to bed now.

I have to wake up in the morning tomorrow and head down to NUS once again.

Oh my science.
