FOR THE L O V E OF 13!

If you have ever...

heard the resounding kiasu cries of '45 MINS TO FALL-IN!' echoing through the miniforum,
went a bit insane over an egg with your name on it,
felt inexplicable satisfaction when finally watching the body fluids leak out of said egg,
striven to apprehend raving casualties asking for your SFA certificate,
died due to fire, earthquake, chemical poisoning or slight tardiness,
vibrated in fixed positions during punishments, only in a slightly irregular pattern,
acted as if a ma'am had the eyes of Medusa,
spent countless hours walking around stiffly and stamping on the ground,
discovered that the human butt is an impossibly heavy object,
heard 'Why are y'all standing here?' and had an uncontrollable laughing fit,
looked like lost, sleep-deprived refugees in the middle of Orchard Road,
kissed a dummy with an invertible face and a questionable gender,
known a bunch of crazy, funny, wonderful and incredibly awesome hooligans who call themselves
red cross cadets,

...you belong here.

{DID YOU KNOW?}
Elements form compounds to achieve stability.
They are held together by chemical bonds.
When a compound is formed, its physical and chemical properties differ from its constituent elements.
A mixture can be separated by simple, mechanical means,
while a compound can only be separated by a chemical reaction.
