SBS Hund's Rule

I thought I was almost going crazy with Chem until something happened today that DID make me go crazy. Something that is so ordinary you might have been surprised at how crazy it can get. Taking an SBS Transit bus.

See, everyone takes the bus everyday. Okay maybe not. But for those who do, am I assuming that all of you are driven crazy? Hell no right? Okay some are, but my point is that it usually doesn't happen. Anyway here is the far from ordinary bus ride, and let me tell you why it made me go crazy.

When I stepped on the bus, this was how the situation was like. Not drawn to scale, so don't come and kpkb me by saying "the seats in front are shorter in length" than those at the back. I KNOW IT. So shut up.




In case the legend is too small and in case I've missed out anything (I think I did) - I'm the red guy who just boarded. And the blue Xs mark those idiots who were sitting down. I mean duh. Okay apart from the standing blue people, the rest were sitting down. Double duh.

As you can see, everyone's taking the aisle seats. And there is one stupid idiot just standing at the exit for I don't know what. Maybe he just loves to count the number of stages off the EZ-link card reader. Or maybe he just loves to explore the geometry of having a circle there with a line across the middle. It's inexplicable how bloody inconsiderate these guys can get.

So I thought, "shit it's gonna be difficult to find a seat" when things just became worse.

Doesn't this formation look kind of familiar? I mean if you take each block of seats to be an orbital?

Then I thought SHIT. CHEMISTRY AHH SAVE ME!!

Don't you see the seating arrangement is sooo frightening? Those bloody people obviously represent electrons in an orbital, while I, a new electron will have to decide which idiot I have to pair up with. And not to mention the seats at the back are at a higher energy level because I have to walk to the back of the bus to get to them.

And how do you walk to the back of the bus?
By using legs, of course.

And how do your legs work?
Because there is digested food in your blood going there.

And what does that do?
It gives you ENERGY to walk.

Hence, I can conclude that the orbitals at the back do indeed require more energy to get to than the front. Thus the higher energy level. And those idiots on the bus are really Chemistry freaks because they follow Hund's Rule so very strictly. How irritating it is when you find out that each idiot is spread out evenly on the bus, such that each seat contains at least one idiot and you have to make your choice where to sit?

It's like, you don't even know anyone and you're forced to be paired up with them like some electron. Kinda like orientation, huh? Well at least orientation you're in the same school but here you're only in the same bus. So what's the best choice here? When you're thinking of electrons, think as how electrons think.

Actions speak louder than words, so I did what I thought.

Electrons repel. So I just stood in the middle of nowhere thinking to myself how unlucky I was to think of Chemistry when I was just supposed to be innocently taking a bus ride. Bloody Hund is an idiot.

The Chemistry teachers might be right after all. Chemistry is damn applicable to your life.. and unfortunately at that.

On a side note, Bayley House had just won the Inter-House Track & Field Championships yesterday for the second year running! And woots, it's to preserve our winning tradition from last year! It feels so good to be back in the winning habit eh? And having lovely yellow face paint on.. well, my face. Except for a certain idiot saying that "eh there's something on your face". Haha Zhenghong I KNOW. Face paint is good for disguise, already half the people couldn't recognise me when I went back in it. So next time you fail your Chem test or something, you know what to look for.

And on another side note (since there are always two sides to everything, including notes) - happy birthday Adnaan! Ya that fagut kinda closed Cockexpress down but then again he wasn't really updating it so.. more space in the Internet!! Ya whatever once again happy birthday turtleman.

That's it byebye.
