The Experiment & The Mission

The Experiment
Let's just say, today I had an experiment that involves sulphur and zinc.
1) Put one spatula of each into a conical shaped filter paper and mix them properly.
2) Then, put half of the amount into a boiling tube. (small ones mind you, its such a small
amount of powder-ish substance)
3) Ignore the instructions and DON'T heat it slowly (who the hell looks at the instrusctions
THAT closely anyway??)
4) The result : FIREWORKS! - and a burnt table, plus the smell of sulphur.

*Very Important Reminder* Never, Ever, blow the little fire off the table by huffing carbon dioxide at it. This will cause the substance to emit more sparks.

*Editors note* Not recommended for students who wish to keep a good relationship with their school or science teacher.

The Mission
Objective : To watch a movie at One Utama without parents suspecting the agents.

Phase 1 -> Convince brother to join you. This is essential because you want to 'teach' him how to
use the LRT after staying back.
Phase 2 -> Get brother to tell parents that his extra classes have been postponed to Friday. And
you've got to stay back for a Librarian Meeting.
Phase 3 -> If Phase 2 goes well and there is no sign of them hinting that they might fetch you,
proceed with discussing and finalising minute details with the other group. E.g.
clothes, who-pays-for-what, sitting positions, most importantly, TRANSPORT.
Phase 4 -> Action time!
Phase 5 -> Land at mom's office with the excuse that you and your brother couldn't get a cab
and just randomly decided to take the LRT to her office.

If all goes well, you shall be having the time of your life, never mind if most of them are strangers to you.

Farewell, and Good Luck.
