When a reaction is taking place, only molecules with energy equal to or greater than the activation energy and correct geometric alignment will then be able to react, while other molecules, with only either one of the criteria or perhaps none, can do nothing but just sit back and wait... Wait... Wait... Hoping that somehow, energy from its surroundings is added sufficiently and/or another molecule approaches them in the correct orientation, and/or perhaps some divine help--a catalyst is available to assist them... ... ...

Is it true that a non-polar liquid will never ever be able to be able to be mixed together with a polar liquid?

Valentine's de Jurong Island

As I am stuck in Jurong Island on Valentine's Day, here's to all readers:

9 Days

Yep, from tonight till next next tuesday, 10th Feb, I will be stuck either in camp or Jurong Island. Only then, on next next tuesday, I will be able to book out again for only 2 days before going back. So, it means that 9 days away from my civilian life. Somewhat like confinement like that. =(

Low morale stuffs aside, yesterday, some of the o619 peeps (Zhiyi, Sihong, Kaibin, Dexter, his girlfriend, Yong Cai, Tyson, Lisin, Novi) went to my house to play mahjong, cards and have steamboat dinner. Somewhat like a Chinese New Year celebration. Quite fun I can say. Yup, next year's Chinese New Year will be even better as I would already ORD. Free from the clutches of NS!!! =)

Yep, so that's all.
