YO HCSE!


All you chem muggers, chew on this.


On Reaction Kinetics:

->When the rate of reaction is proportional to the square of the concentration of the reactant, it is second order with respect to that reactant.

->When the rate of reaction is proportional to the concentration of the reactant, it is first order with respect to that reactant.

->When the rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactant, it is zero order with respect to that reactant.

->When the rate of reaction is zero, your reaction is officially out of order. =D


taken from the chem notes of the demented cellist


Just in case some of you have forgot, the next rehearsal is TOMORROW.(Sectionals. GG me.)


Would like to raise a minor issue regarding cleanliness. Please empty the dustbin when it's full, not wait for me (or a very few specific other people I might name) to come and do it. The Strings room is already a lot cleaner now I don't see people leaving their food and drink around the strings room, and I'm thankful for your help. It has to go OUT of the strings room though if you don't want to attract insects, and there's always the library to go to if you don't want to(or can't) clutter up the dustbin in the toilet nearby.


In other news...


Fung Man Lok has recently transcribed a score from Pirates of the Carribbean for string ensemble. He and a few others of us are still fixing bugs with it, but it should be done shortly. Anyone interested in playing it for Teacher's Day? XD


A Nokia phone was dropped from the Strings room last Friday down into the Central Plaza. It hit the ground with a loud bang, breaking into many parts and attracting the attention of many onlookers downstairs, as well as a class waiting for their teacher outside the Strings room. More astonishing is the fact that the owner reported it to be working barely half an hour after the incident, having put the phone back together again. Moral of the story: Buy Nokia.


Mr Chan Wei Shing's cat is cute.=p


The currently writing cellist is late for dinner and his parents are raisinng a din. Therefore I shall wish you all a fun day tomorrow before I am dragged away from the com.


Hope we won't have to wait for people to start rehearsal tomorrow! (*cough cough*)(*stares at viola section*)=D

Hi All,

I know you all are very eager to see the strings room cleaned up properly and many of you have come up to me asking for a spring cleaning. So as I mentioned during rehearsal, this cleaning session will be held on next Friday, at rehearsal time as there is no rehearsal on that day.

So the quartermaster requests your assistance at a quarter past 4 in our quarters next Friday. I hope to spring-clean the room from top to bottom, including the scores with the help of the librarian... Especially the Beethoven "Spring" Sonata, the Vivaldi Four Seasons "Spring" Concerto and all those little coils of metal that have fallen out of your pens.

Hope to use some of your assistance in making the Strings room a more hygienic place to work and slack in.
