busy week
tue - nth. slacked at home to recharge my Nickel-Cadmium battery. This is done by reversing the flow of the current through the used electrochemical cell, thus causing oxidation to occur at the Nickel cathode and reduction at the Cadmium anode, converting the Nickel (II) Hydroxide back to Nickel (III) Oxide-Hydroxide and Cadmium (II) Hydroxide being converted back into Cadmium metal, such that the battery is ready to be used almost as if it were new again. The net reaction is as follows (for the forward reaction, which has a potential difference of approximately 1.2V):
2NiO(OH) + Cd + 2H2O -->> 2Ni(OH)2 + Cd(OH)2
and now you're that bit more knowledgeable about rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries.
wed - hmm. forgot what happened. dammit. although i know that i went out. nvm. i'll post it when - or if - i remember
thu - football with the 4/8 guys! yea played in the rain at cck stadium. after tt went to lot 1 and nabbed the black pepper chicken at kfc. super spicy man. worse than mcspicy. but still enjoyable
fri - football with the s25 ppl! plus others. went to Jianning's house, and then there was thunder and lightning. damn. anyway the rain subsided, so came out to play again with some idiots, esp their goalkeeper, whos just a fat bastard
sat - went pool-ing with Leen at beauty world. hmmm 2 people a bit sian. need at least 3 next time. den went back home before meeting Christella at lot 1 for dinner at short john bronze before watching Mulan! much better than the prissy disney version. disney's always screwing up classics like these just so they will appeal to young kids. as if screwing pinocchio, snow white, aladdin and mulan weren't enough. sissies. anyway vicki zhao rocks man ^^^^ jaycee chan also damn funny. den went home to watch Man Utd thrash west pork i mean west ham!!! cheers
