breather

i take a lot of breaks.
probably not really good.

i revised on ethanol yesterday.


dehydration of ethanol
ethanol --> ethene + water

*catalyst of CONCENTRATED sulphuric acid
and at 170 degrees celsius.

oxidisation of ethanol
ethanol + [o] --> ethanoic acid + water
oxidising agent: potassium dichromate(VI)
>> goes from orange to dark green.

ethanol + sodium
ethanol + sodium hydroxide --> sodium ethanoate + water


--------------

Batch Process of Ethanol:
Fermentation of Sugar (sugar cane)
glucose + yeast --> ethanol + carbon dioxide + wter
___ Yeast contains enzymes that convert sugar *glucose* into ethanol , H2O and CO2.

^ mixture of ethanol and water seperated by fractional distillation

If air is present--->creates ETHANOIC ACID.

*slow
*uses renewable sources (sugar cane)
*produces ethanol + carbon dioxide

_____________

Continuous Process of Ethanol:
Hydration of Ethene
ethene + steam (water) --> ethanol

CONDITIONS -- . 300 degrees celsius
. under high pressures
. with catalyst phosphoric acid

*fast
*using non-renewable sources [crude oil]
*produces pure ethanol

There were these two kids that played the bagpipe to amazing grace... Isn't that just awesome?! On the second night they wore kilts. LOL. ftw!!

SEASAC Badminton 09

What a trip. What... a trip. It was so jokes ^___^ i loved it so much. It was like... a mixture of a family vacation/sight seeing trip/badminton tournament haha. The driver was so lost when he was trying to find the hotel >__< poor bloke.

Well. What to say huh? So many memories~ The most funniest things that happened on the trip most likely the transformation of Steven. *sighs* must be tough being the youngest one there.

PURE KLASS <3

I wished we did that whole military thing. It would've been so funny. But thanks to the children that were to embarassed... It didnt work out T__T.

Steven: I hate french. its my least favourite subject
Mr. Chisti: Yes, that's because you're so bad at it
*the whole van goes OOOOoooooooOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOO steven has to make a comeback*
Steven: *makes phlegm noises*
Mr. Chisti: ...
Steven: That is how the french sound like to me.

SEASAC ART 2009

So it is officially one week since i was in SEASAC arts. It was a wonderful experience, drama, art, and dance crammed into 3 days ><
i opted for dance, because... who can say no to a fusion of indian/malay/chinese dancing?! dude!

Learning a dance outside of my comfort zone was really a brilliant experience, the other girls were so lovely and the teachers were really inspiring.
I wish i could pursue in dance.
but who am i kidding right? lawl~

On the night of the gala dinner we got to see classical indian dance, lion dance and our own malay dance *sofia you rock <3*

i was clever enough to need to pee and as a result, bumping into the other dancers who i got to take a snap with:



wheee~.
you jealous?
better be.
BWAHA.

Also got a picture of me and sofia before our performance:


its too bad we didnt eat.
it was a simple performance, but the butterflies kept on growing and growing O__O.


this is thian yaa fang <3 she's so cute right? our Chinese Dance teacher, the dance was so fun i couldnt stop smiling like an idiot whenever we did her dance~


me with Chi Hee. so cute that girl, i wish we had more time cuz then i'd ask her to teach me the Tell Me dance hehehe.


and this is nina ^
so pretty right?
damn tall O__O (senior basketball team)
great posture.
*envious*
beautiful dancer too~

Took photos of the mural pieces the art department did, these have to be my favourite though;



and



nice right?
really big.


i wanna do this. round up my art friends and have this massive collaboration for the sake of it. kyehe
