it made my day =)

it had been awhile since i enter any competition

until 4/4/13

when i was "asked" to enter

 a chemistry practical competition

known as Saintis Muda

(means Young Scientist, in Bahasa)

i have to tell you guys,

at first, i didn't have the chance at all,

since i was not the brightest among my friends.

just above average (admitting that i'm just okay...)

but all of my friends were already chosen 

either to Biology or Maths competition.

I really love  to enter both of these, 

but i was not qualified though.

they are better.

and i'm not.

and i'm okay with it.

=)

my entry to this chemistry competition became reality

when one of my bright friends could not join 

due to the clash date

so she requested teacher to pick me

and i am very very grateful of her.

FYI

i never won anything in sports.

just the competition that uses brain

well, maybe God spent more time on my brain

than my physique-talents.

so i guess i should just give thanks about it.

that competition made my day.

no matter if i win or not.

but i won, so, yea, it made an even greater day. 

teehee.

(trying hard not to be proud or sombong)

*

the competition basically consists of 4 stations.

acid-base titration

anion identification

cation identification

enthalpy change

yeap, that's all about it

oh! and not mentioning that we were only given 

10 MINUTES

to complete each station.

crazy?

i call it INSANELY IMPOSSIBLE.

what took an hour or so to do must be done in 10 minutes?

either you are godly, if not you knew the answer.

which i thank God that nobody cheated.

and everybody had fun.

after all, the theme this year was

CHEMISTRY IS FUN.

my partner is from another school, and he is a cute guy.

Alex, i have to admit, is quite brilliant.

and i am glad that i have him as my partner.

i do believe that both of us did a good job.

and i did no less in helping us to win.

so the saying goes in Chinese,

团结就是力量。

(unity is strength)

do you have anything that made your day?

share it with me.

i wouldn't want to just talk about me.

send me your story.

Ciao.
