agree? dun tell me... coz not as if i care a lot for smth tat's hanging there for yrs alr... haha

sorrie blog...

haha i've been neglecting my blog again... well it has been a good source of relief during the A's... so i must thank it for helping me get off some stress... alrite so let's start off from where i stopped...

physics!!! rite... paper 3 wasn't that hard... as in e kind of questions was expected... still reeling in surprise forces dint came out... well... man proposes god opposes... haha but i guess i'll do alrite... paper 5 wasn't tat tough but got some marks i think is confirm give to e examiner alr... like method of propulsion, etc...

but anywayz after paper 5 i went to yogi's house and played overnite... haha almost every game possible... den came back and slept thru friday and saturday morning... i juz wondered... how do i actually spend my this 2 wks properly... as in not totally on playing/shopping/lanning/god knows wad... as in u know... how to not waste away this time doing nothing to improve myself... wanted to go borrow "Watership Down" from e library to read... haha ppl muz think i'm weird to read rite now... esp after reading notes for 1 whole month... but i muz say tat book is reallie nice... so =D...

oh ya i'm starting to learn drums... well at least e beats... jonong joseph and co have asked me whether i wanna play for joseph's song on 3rd dec at fort canning.. alrite more like i volunteered to try... but seriously saying i have totally no confidence tat i can play well on tat day given e stress, the short time period, the practice.... it's like i'm having a thousand voices in my head now each giving a different perspective and outcome of every single decision i make regarding this matter... i reallie dun know.... somebody save me....

juz watched finish "gan1 cai2 lie4 huo3"... or rather part of it, e ending part coz i was watching star wars too... =P i find tat guy so dumb... it's like how obvious e girl likes him la... but i shall contradict myself yet again (like i alwayz do... take note) coz somethings may not seem obvious to ppl within (in physics terms) the line of action... but i muz quote "120 beats a minute is bad for health dude... a normal heartbeat rate is 70 per minute... raising it to 80 is already good enough"... sounds cheem eh? but i tell u... "yi4 si4 qian3 qian3 , zi4 ji3 qu4 xiang3 ba4!!!" =D

heh i shall end here now... pondering wad to do nxt... maybe i'll play for a lil while...

oh forgot smth... i went to visit my grandma todae who is sadly saying rehospitalized... now she's like half remember me half dun remember alr... but i'm not reallie especially close which i sadly declare... but anywayz she's now like, as my auntie says, her brain channels are like frayed wires... if can connect she wld be ok... if cannot she wld go haywire (nice pun)... and she keeps saying there's someone sharpening a parang knife at e right side of e bed... so she is like forbidding anyone to stand on tat side of e bed... quite cute lar... haha but nvm... seriously i prefer ppl to juz go away silently instead of suffering sicknesses like cancer... or rather i, me, myself, and the big I prefer to at least go away like tat... so take care of ur bodies ya???... dun use too much brain power of u go senile earlier... haha weird logic... like i'm already using over max power alr as ppl wld say... "coz u come from GEP wad... u muz be clever" ever heard of tyco??? guess not... =D

The End... at least for now

aiyah... Maths S

haiz... dun think i'll get distinction... i'll settle for merit =P... e paper quite ok lar... can figure out most of e stuff... juz very vexed wif e careless mistakes =S... time to chill... bb

Miserable Econs

well e antibiotics is starting to take effect so i'm gonna make this short... yes for those who haven't notice yet, i'm sick... wif sore throat and fever...

econs 1 and 2 were horrible papers... e mcq alone is like harder than past year questions lar... and i dunno wad to write for e last 12 marks of case study... cld onli point out less than 5 points for both opportunities and threats... + i forgot how to draw oligopoly graph for DRQ... yay... screw up liao... if i get C i happy alr... haha

tml Maths S... die lor... nvr prepare much... haiz....

oh yah quite surprised MRP theory totally dint appear... hmmmm... hope tat doesn't happen for physics...

Exhausted....

one word describes it all... econs and physics back to back... pity those taking chem.. they had chem b4 econs... 0_0

anywayz i can predict my econs essay scores lar... 16 16 10 or smth along tat line... same like prelims... have to buck up on paper 1 and 2 lor... if not cannot touch A alr... but quite lucky wage theory dint come out coz i forgot to study it... lol accidentally skipped topic... e macro questions were quite ok... but surprisingly they gave 2 questions on policies, one fiscal one monetary... interesting... den micro die lor lol... since i was left wif 4 questions to choose from (e other 2 were 25 marks 1 part question... confirm cannot score high de) and i dint study EOS properly... so too bad got to choose e air travel question... muz say e 2nd part is pretty screwed up... dunno whether i answered e question correctly or not... pray le lor.. anywayz cannot blame e paper lar... i barely touch econs for prep... only e day b4... haha too late to do anything anywayz... onli can try harder for MCQ and DRQ and case study

physics was slightly better... considering i had a lot of practice on past year TYS MCQ... got some similar questions come out but i think mostly are new questions... quiet surprising but still ok lar... so far 2 wrong lor... predict got 5... coz tat's my average of doing past year MCQs... haha... den paper 2 was an eye sore sia... so many graphs need to read here read there den calculate... calculate liao still need to draw another graph and calculate.. wa biang eye pain from reading e small little squares sia... other than e ice melting question i pretty confident of e rest lar... oh yah and e v= (landa) f question also wrong or semi wrong lar... i onli put v is e speed e string vibrate... e rest dunno le... quite heng got 2 questions on electricity (my forte =P) den e ice one is thermometric properties i think... den got 1 on radioactivity 1 on charged particles 1 on superposition(e string one i think) 1st one was kinematics i think... e draw Vh Vv thing... can't reallie remember lar... oh yah EM and EMI also come out alr... can predict paper 3 le lor... confirm no EMI alr coz come out so intensively... lol but if come out i also wun do =D haha ideal gas sure come out for paper 3... mite have one on young's double slit.. coz totally haven't see double slit experiment come out... milikan's oil drop experiment also nvr come out... BET 10 bucks forces come out for paper 3 coz totally no forces in paper 1 and 2... quantum 1 will come out paper 3.. e photoelectric experiment... so we have 5 questions alr... hmmm analogue dun think will come out... mite have a surprise one on AC...

aiyahz but i'm not going to care so much lar... gonna study everything... but 1st come 1st serve so econs muz study 1st.. haha i bet wage theory come out for DRQ or Case study =P... lalalala

oh yah muz add smth here... to all chinese drama series lovers... dun watch happy fish II... i know it's a good show... it sure can make ppl angry watching e show... but i can tell u... i was so dulan wif e ppl's attitude i'm gonna denounce e show from now on until e characters become better... which i presume will be its ending... so if u still wan to enjoy ur day... or rather nite... dun watch tat show for god's sake...

Maths was....

i'll put it as i was left wif 1 hour + for the last question.... which was a give away anywayz... finding prob table for discrete random variable (6 marks... can u believe it??? VJ wld at most give 3...) and den approx to normal and find a value (6 marks also... wth... VJ wun even set this question... too easy)

figured i lost 13 marks alr... thanx to a screwed up wording question Q27... those who's reading this several yrs later mite wanna check it in ur TYS... must have been e curse of abin tan... stupid "wordplay" maths questions must have gotten wind to cambridge... tat's 8 marks.. another 5 becuz i remembered e hypothesis testing formulae for proportion wrongly... instead of Z = (p - prop) / sq rt ( prop (1 - prop) / n) i put Z = (p - prop) / sq rt (p (1-p) / n)... haiz hope can savage at least 2 marks... or else full wld be 13...

so estimated get 80 lor... which is actually quite good... but den... my paper one... haiz.....

nvm... i shall go sleep now b4 i take on e world again... nxt stop... Econs...

anyone knows how to get ur hair to dry faster other than sitting in front a fan or using a hair dryer...

ZzZzZzZzZZZZZ.....

rite....

yes i so agreez i still need a new brain... new update on IBM's Big Blue aka e supercomputer mentioned in my last post... it clocked 70.72 trillion calculations per second... and is now 1st in the world... congratulations...

but then the size of that huge metal chunk is 225 sq meters... hmmm maybe i need a bigger head too...

i need a better brain... and guys u can throw away those cable modems...

read e news yet? Spain has built a mega comp, second biggest in the world... capable of 40 trillion operations per second (you'll finish maths paper 1 (15 questions) in 0.000000005625 seconds... considering e operations to be read question, understand question, average 10 operations to get the answer, write answer, move on to nxt)... like e speed is not enough... the storage capacity is 128 terabytes... for those non-physics/computing students... 128 terabyte = 128,000 gigabyte = 128,000,000 megabyte = 128,000,000,000 kilobyte = 128,000,000,000,000 byte = 1,024,000,000,000,000 bits (computing students correct me if i'm wrong here... kinda forgot alr =D) 1 byte = 1 character (be it a, b, 1, 2, @, #, *, wadeva)(am i right here also computing students???) in short for those who are non maths... 128 X 10^12 = A LOT...

considering that the human brain can do anywhere from 2 to 20 million billion ( maths again... 10^6 X 10 ^9 = 10^15) calculations per second... 40 trillion (maths again... 10^12) wld be a very good comparison... becuz we dun usually reach 20X10^15 anywayz... in fact it's a very high estimate of a human brain...

as for storage wise... from e source i obtain all these info from... e latest estimate (as e article seems to suggest) is 4X10^8 bytes... which is, u know is, 10 thousand times less than tat of tat stupid chunk (not chunk... massive chunk) of metal put together...

i still wan a better brain... sorrie mother nature... =P

btw e source is here

oh a side note i found smth more interesting... read this it's abt man and cable modems =D

i need a better brain...

UN certainties

life is full of it... so is physics... so is my maths paper 1... e uncertainty that i will pass is 20% while tat of whether i will get A is like >50%... perhaps i'm being double minded too much... dun punish me pls... i'm juz a mere mortal..

anywayz i dun reallie care alr lar... it's over and i thank god for it... gotta work harder for stats i guess... juz hope i dun do better for Maths S than normal Maths again... econs is gonna kill me... e thot of the heavy week nxt week and nxt nxt week almost drove me to sleep on e cab ride home... tat's bad...

anywayz some self evaluation here... guess i shldn't juz depend on practice to boost confidence... nxt time need to cover answers and check onli at e end of e session =S...

certainly less games wld work... but i know tat's off my limits... too low discipline...

oh yah i remember smth this afternoon... it's abt our squad song in NPCC.. well our sec 2/3 NCO's squad's song was "guang1 huai2 fang1 shi4"... coz i remembered e song den i remember this... but i forgot my squad's song alr.. hmmm maybe i'll ask arnd... if i remember too... i love my bowl =D

okayz... time to go relax b4 a few more days of intense mugging... at least there's 2 TV premieres tml... JP3 and laura croft... still trying hard to convince my parents to tape JP3 instead of laura croft (they argue tat tapeing laura croft den can watch "ren wo ao you" aft tat watch JP3, if not watch finish laura croft den watch e ending of JP3 a bit "bu san bu si") my theory is watch laura croft and tape JP3 at 10... den sleep early watch JP3 nxt morning (my theory is based on my intense interest in JP series =P)... so =S god knows..

go watch my Gundam seed tataz

Pre Maths... Mad Maths...

ok shall not say anything other than i had another weird dream.... abt bugs infestation...

i dun know y... dun ask me... perhaps it's juz mugging... it gives nightmares(not the horses u see at night) while being a nightmare itself... =S

bad news 1: i dint know newton repson and linear interpolation were in paper 1
bad news 2: i dint know probability would come out... according to someone... but i dunno leh
bad news 3: MY MOUSE IS PEELING!!!!!!! omg... it's barely a year old and it's got a tiny scratch of abt 5mm long 2 mm wide at e side... and it's dimensions are growing each day... thanks to my itchy fingernails.. =S

omni news: 2 more hours to maths... actually more belonging to e bad side... coz it means 2 hours closer to NS and 2 more hours more to jittering... good news is it's gonna be over in 5... u do e MATH...

torture of da day... Gundam Seed ep 28 JUZ FINISHED AND I CANNOT WATCH IT TILL I COME HOME!!!! =S =S +S...

"shed a tear for Jimmy Brown,
for he's Jimmy Brown no more.
For wad he thought was H two O,
was H two S O four."

well... tat's e ending for double minded ppl tat is... haha quoted from yesterday's sermon...

let's see wad i've done so far... e last 3 yrs of Maths paper 1 of TYS... been to church... went out to mug... had starbucks coffee... played MS like mad (shoot me)... saw VENUS on friday morning (for those who dint know... it appears in e early morning in e eastern sky... very easy to spot coz it's a star tat doesn't flicker and is very visible even at 7 am, most by then wld have disappeared... saw another star nxt to it also... mite be mercury but i'm not buying it...)

well... tat's all... going to start mugging econs essay... good luck to chemers tml...

Gibberish Preposterousness

ok i admit... it took me 10 mins finding words starting wif G and P meaning rubbish/nonsense/bullshit.. G was easy but P was quite rare actually... onli found 3: piffle preposterousness and poppycock... decided on pre... wadeva e spelling becuz it souned e most chim-est and much less vulgar...

but anywayz... e GP (alrite General Paper this time) compre was... ok let me recall a saying from my (in)famous RI physics teacher aka Mr Indrah NithiSivasamy(e nithi not sure spelling... going according to sound): in this world there are 2 words to describe things... sense and non-sense... sadly our GP compre belonged to e latter...

like wtf crap is choice and destiny.... like wtf is choosing ur way of life not destiny... if u wanna argue... it's a vicious cycle (there was a cycle in e compre... smth abt demand of more choice increase invention and production which increase wealth and thus increase more demand crap) ... the ability of choice for humans allows us to choose our destiny... but when we do so... we are following our chosen destiny... so are we thus bounded to destiny or are we still free from our "destiny"... sounds confusing enough??? q6 i believe... asks y we are disadvantaged from ancient greeks and class-bound societies... e answer is supposed to be becuz they have smth to blame for their current actions which is their destiny and we don't.. or smth along tat line... and why in e earthly heck is tat an advantage??? isn't tat still a lame excuse??? toking sense??? dun think so

and y e heck wld more choices be good for us... more choices = more redundent choices = more waste... if i wanna be mean... which i am todae i suppose... let's put all our compo questions into this argument... more waste = more recycling to be done aka more resources wasted in providing for more recycling... more choices = more time needed to consider = wasting resources also... more burden on govt to make correct choice becuz of higher lvl of clouding of judgement = more ppl unhappy becuz govt take so long to come to consensus = more ppl shld take over deciding how to organize their lifes... more choices = more worries over choice = more beauty products and more beauty treatment = more attention given to these stuff = less attention given to necessities of life = stagnation of humanity... more attention given to beauty = less attention given to religion and more attention given to R&D for better beauty products... ok tat's 4 topics alr... can't recall anymore... anywayz wadeva i typed was non-sense also... so for those who juz read it... sorrie but u better go back mugging... coz i'm not sense todae...

non-sense rules e world... tat's y bush is still there at e top todae... and war is going to continue... embrace non-sense now ppl... for tat will be e future of mankind...

oh btw... expect ur upcoming chem and maths and computing to be full of non-sense also... for we can't live w/o it...

and i still believe e glass will melt 1st b4 e tungsten breaks at 3700K...

happy non-sensing

Exam countdown...

Surprised tat i'm up so early??? haha dun worry i slept alr... juz cldn't bring myself back to sleep an hour b4 i'm supposed to wake up... which is actually 30 mins ago... haha

anywayz dint reallie sleep well... lots of weird dreams with familiar ppl... ya classmates, exclassmates, friends, blah blah... but weird topics keep coming up... lol shall not think too much abt it... may be an omen tat dreams are gonna come out for compre?? or compo question?? haha =P

counting e minutes now till i have to bathe.. cyaz
