SPA

Hi actually I didn't want to blog today but just to prove to all you fools out there that I was only joking about TCS closing down, HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!!

And if that doesn't do the trick, screw off. I'm going to do one proper post now. But then again since I wasn't planning to post, I really have no idea on what to talk about. BUT! I can blog about something close to my heart.. and as you can see from the title it's SPA, which I happen to have tomorrow.

Of course, as it is not Week 5 yet, this is only a Mock SPA. Well I really want to mock SPA since it sounds so stupid to call it SPA. After all, when one thinks of SPA one think that it is RELAXING and COMFORTABLE. And then what do you have for Chemistry SPA? Nothing but irritation and pure anger, sitting down and feeling stupid. Okay admittedly I'm the only one feeling that, but hey, it's true that it is irritating okay.

And you thought that Chemistry SPA means a nice long bath with chemicals inside designed to relax your muscles and cleanse your body? Fat hope.

So back to the point. SPA is tomorrow and I haven't mugged for it. =X And the teachers can be awful swotters for those little nitty gritty mistakes that you make. In fact, SPA can be officially renamed to be Superb Producer of Anger - since going through a SPA gives you nothing but anger. And the reason why it's called SPA is because it cunningly embodies the true spirit of uh, experimenting, in its acronyms. Let's take a closer look at each letter and you find out what SPA is really all about (other than getting angry).

Significant figures - How many bloody sf you have is of paramount importance to the marker. 1.000 mol is 1.000 mol, not 1 mol. Of course, this is going to be very important next time in real life when we decide to do our calculations on paper - it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to remember the 0s behind the decimal point. And not forgetting it might come in handy when issuing cheques so remember your 0s. Teachers love them and love to deduct marks from you because of them.

Precision - Refer to above-mentioned point on sf. 4 sf for intermediate steps is 4 sf and there will be no compromise. Any less than 4 sf, you're in for some shit and in case you didn't know, 1 mol can mean 1.001 mol. (teacher's logic, since they just MUST see the 0s)

Accuracy - Refer to above-mentioned point on precision. If that is not enough details for you, refer to notes on sf.

Ya so basically SPA is just bloody writing zeros behind. Not to mention that if you forget them, the teacher will be glad to write it in for you. Under the "marks" section.

Hence, in order to practise for SPA, there is only one way which I will illustrate to you now.

I feel so ready for tomorrow man.

Good luck to all those having mock Chemistry SPA soon. For those who are taking the real Chem SPA now, you can go away because you're false starting. Damn it, we dislike cheaters who take their tests early and then leak out all the answers.. that is so wrong man. (that is to say it's okay to receive answers, but it is bad to give them out. since two wrongs don't make a right, then don't make a right la!)

Okay I think I'm getting dizzy from all the mugging for SPA already (refer to above). Thus, I shall go face the Z'Monster now and once again good luck!
