ChEmIsTrY FoR Me

Form 4 was so called as ‘HONEY MOON YEAR’.... BiOlOgY, ChEmIsTrY, PhYsIcS was the new science subjects introduced when we step into the science stream world in form 4…Loaded with 10 subjects including this 3 science subjects and ADD MATHS!!, I still wondering y the hell form 4 was so called “ HONEY MOON YEAR”..it supposed to be called as  “ STRESSFULL YEAR!!”

@
After my elder sister finished her higher secondary, c told me that chemistry was the most interesting subject. She told me about her studies and experiments she did in lab…that when she mixed 1 solution with another it forms beautiful colors and when she add another solution the color disappears and form clear solution… A year afta, I passed my PMR with flying colors and entered the science stream world .

Among this three science subjects, chemistry was the subject I like the most. This was because I scored the highest mark for my first test in my class….haha and  Since then chemistry was my most favourite subject.I love chemistry because of my teacher, Mrs.Poh. She was a very good and experienced teacher. Her teaching skills makes me love chemistry more day by day…Her teaching makes me understand chemistry well. My favourite chapter in form 4 chemistry was chapter 5-chemical bonding. Its about forming the ionic bonds and covalent bonds. Its quite confusing but Mrs.Poh’s teaching makes me understand the concept on how to form the ionic and covalent bondings. At last form 4 came to an end and I was praying that I will get the same chemistry teacher in form 5 and my prayer was answered when Mrs.Poh walked into the class. Through her teaching and guidance I obtained good grade for my chemistry in SPM.



Mrs.Poh alwiz like to remind us on 1 thing that is ‘girls chemistry in university level is not the same as in ur school’.I was not serious with her words till I pursued my studies in diploma In pharmacy. I joined pharmacy course because of I love chemistry but I started to hate chemistry during my first semester because of CCM!..i just managed to pass my organic and physical chemistry and this make me feel so sad. But wen I was in my fifth sem I was so happy when I heard that my lecturer for pharmaceutical chemistry is Ms.grace. I just can’t imagine pharmaceutical chemistry which is full of identification test, assay which need a lot memorization tought by Mr.CCM..Ms.grace teaching was good and interesting.Ms.grace’s teaching skills tought me on how to memorize well and I scored good marks for my pharmaceutical chemistry 1 exam. Ms.grace makes me start  loving chemistry again.
 Chemisrty life is really fun especially during lab sessions. Sometimes we can hear someone screaming ‘smoke’! smoke….or….’craccckkkkkkkkkkk’….miss…I just broke the test tube…haha… and I experienced breaking a burrete during pharmaceutical chemistry 1 lab session and had to pay rm 45!!!arrrrrrrggggghhhh… Lab session is really fun but lab report is a big headache.. After all this experiences, I understand wat was chemistry all about…after studying chemistry only I realized that everything around us is related to chemistry. Chemistry is a big part of our everyday life. Chemistry are found in daily life in the foods we eat, the air we breathe, our soap, our emotions and literally every object we can see or touch. Chemistry can be a good and bad thing. Chemistry is good when we make love with it. Chemistry is bad when we make crack with it.
