Well, I thought. I know when they say there's a full moon or any sort of 'supernatural' occurrences in our daily lives, queer events start to take place, but a solar eclipse?
Cleaned the crime scene we did. Quick, quick as we can.
When our other classmates asked us how we did that part of our experiment, we could only reply, "We're not exactly the best people to ask..."
How the bottom of the tube simply broke off puzzled us. Now we had to get to the bottom of it.
The book said boil gently, didn't it? Maybe it's because we put it under direct flame. Yet the others all did the same.
Nonetheless, as we anxiously placed the bottomless boiling tube onto the rack and continued with the rest of the many experiments, cautiousness left us not every time the book mention 'boil' and 'flame'. We kept nervously laughing.
"It's the solar eclipse," Jen added, "It happened to me all day..." First she didn't bring a book. Then this happens. She claims that was why, as I am typing, the water supply at her house has been cut.
Coincidence?
Anyway, we decided that we should share the cost. So brought we the broken apparatus to the lab assistant. Now we faced the music. Did she say RM20?!
Then she asked, "Did it break while you were heating it?"
We exchanged glances. "Erm...yes."
"Oh in that case, no need to pay."
Slightly dumbfounded but awfully relieved, we hurried back to our seats and the crime scene.
Queer events on such a coinceidental day.
Come to think about it, I was supposed to go walking with a friend around the neighbourhood this evening but a sudden haze hit the streets.
What say you? Solar eclipse? (Not that we saw it, actually)
