WARNING! CRAP IDENTIFIED. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I'm sorry, I crap a lot when I do long posts.

I shall blog about something I suppose everyone is very familiar with - Human Relationships. After fifteen minutes of research, LL has come up with his theory of human relationships. Credits go to all my friends and my science (Chem/Bio) teacher Miss Alana Khoo. 

Let's start with science. This would be a revision for those who have learnt it, and for those who haven't learnt it, well, you'll be learning it anyway.

Particulate Model of Matter
  • Matter is made up of tiny discrete particles
  • The particles are in constant and random motion.

  • This new-found theory states that humans are similar to these particles. When these particles come together, they form matter. Likewise, people come together to form companies and businesses and what have you. However, I won't be touching much on this issue. The particles are also in constant and random motion. This can be related to how people keep moving around, letting fate guide their paths. Since young, people have already been moving about. From the day where they leave their homes for the first time to go to kindergarten till the day where they stop moving and eventually die off.

    Matter is made up of 3 states, Solids, Liquids and Gases. (if you dont know this go jump down your bed.) But let's look at a slightly more detailed explanation of them.


    Solids
  • definite shape and volume
  • cannot be compressed
  • relatively high density

  • Arrangement of particles in solid:
  • tightly packed together
  • regular pattern
  • held together in fixed positions by very strong attractive forces
  • vibrate about their fixed positions
  • unable to move past one another

  • Liquids
  • definite volume but indefinite shape
  • cannot be compressed
  • densities lower than solids, but higher than gases

  • Arrangement of liquid particles:
  • not as closely packed as those in solids.
  • irregular pattern
  • held by strong attractive forces but not held in fixed positions
  • vibrate and able to move around one another simultaneously

  • Gases
  • Indefinite shape and volume
  • Can be compressed
  • Very low density compared to liquids and solids

  • Arrangement of gas particles:
  • far apart
  • in irregular pattern
  • not held by strong attractive forces
  • able to move about freely and randomly at high speed
  • vibrate and move around simultaneously


  • Let me relate this to something which you are more familiar with (i hope). After being in the same class for some time, the class would have been bonded very much together. Every year, at the end of the year, half of my MSN contact list would have stuff like "I LOVE [class]!" or "[class] will be together forever!" and stuff like that. When I was first introduced into the class, I was a wandering gas particle. Moving around freely and aimlessly. Then I made more friends in class and gradually it became from liquid to solid. Soon, the whole class was just so close, with the class spirit leading it as a whole. We vibrate about our fixed positions, and each person knows his duty as a particle of the solid. The electrostatic forces of attraction was what had bonded our class together. This force was so great that it was so difficult for us to separate.

    Likewise, this may be the reason why people always get emotional and do stupid stuff after breaking up with their boyfriend/girlfriend. The electrostatic forces of attraction between the two particles was so great that if one was to be separated from the other, a lot of energy would be required to bring them apart. Ever tried melting copper wires? Same case. The melting point of copper is more than 1000°C. A lot of energy would be required to bring two particles apart. Also, when someone passes away, the immediate families are usually the ones who cry the most. Why? Same reason.

    Okay I can't really be bothered to continue now, but yeah thanks for reading. If anyone wants to rip or edit this post just feel free to do so, but give me a notice yeah? I seriously need an editor in my work.
