That's Life

10 random notes bout Oxygen:
1) Highly electronegative
2) Able to H bond with other H molecules
3) Able to donate lone pair when attached to benzene ring when it exists an -OH grp of course
4) With KMnO4/H2SO4,heat, can break down ethene into CO2 and H20.
5) Exists as -C=O in carbonyl compounds (aldehydes + ketones)
5) Most imptly, Draws the ultra-thin line between a pass and a fail in chem promos After all, O is the most seen letter behind H and C in Org Chem.
6) Essential for respiration
7) Attaches itself to haemoglobin
8) Goes from nose -> lung -> heart -> other parts of the body...gets used up
9) Makes up 22% of the atmospheric gases (not too sure...i think it's 22%...haha...hope my sec1 geog hasnt been returned to jacq sim)

10)Keeps pple SANE!!!

Oh wells...my sudden tribute to oxygen is for two reasons...1stly of course is due to PROMOS being like last den 3 wks away. and dat i studied chem today haha. *pats myself on the back*.

2nd reason is coz i finally realized the importance of oxygen during PW lesson. Extra lesson rather. I was suffocating REALLY. Not that the stuff we were doing were vomit-inducing...not that our mentor is breathing down our necks taking away all the oxygen from us....it's coz we are in the comp lab from 4 - 6...AND THE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT DECIDED TO SWITCH OFF THE ENTIRE BUILDING'S AIR-CONDITIONING AT 5 PM SHARP!!!

how smart...n while everyone else was comfortably clad in PE/CCA Tees....poor me was in full school u....:S dripping sweat lar...not tat the written report draft happily sitting in the computer staring straight at us helped. exceeded the word limit by 1000+ and had to stay back in that bloody furnace till 6+ to shorten it. Well...i muz say everyone in our grp went kinda mad towards the end....mad as in hysterical.

Speaking of computers...had to say we cld've ended earlier without the magical work of lim kai xiong. for god-noes-wat reason, he cursed for our workstation to crash. AND IT REALLY CRASHED! was so tempted to juz swear but got girls ard so...maintain IMAGE haha (unlike phang)...N so everything was to be re-done. =X oh wells...the 2nd station we switched to almost crashed the 2nd time...wth...jinxed or wat...:S I dunno wat got over me...but i started sayang-ing the monitor n everyone started laughing....but miraculously it worked n the workstation went back to normal...i think tat says alot bout RJ comp labs...:S

well...back to the going mad part...to cut a long story short...everyone went high and crazy....after calming down on the way home...i thot i acted like i was drunk juz now...in front of 4 other girls somemore lol...hais...all tat image was gone lar...n kalpana commented "No we arent on drugs yah...we are juz oxygen deprived" haha... was really funny but on a serious note...it was really too stuffy to work. hadnt been really productive. feels like the last time i got stuck in a lift.

Oh wells...so lesson to bring back. Always treasure the oxygen we have ard us. Dun wait till we have lost it den start regretting. {back to mugging}
