While waiting for the bus just now, a well-dressed old man approached me. Holding his purple ez-link and speaking in English, he said that he hasn’t got the money for a bus ride and asked for a dollar. I gave it to him, he thanked me and made a little small talk. Within a minute, my bus came, I got on.

He left the bus stop. On foot.

Moral of the story: Pick up a skill, stand out from the rest. Differentiation. dy/dx. Then get money from unsuspecting integrals with integrity from the integrated programme.

It’s the Sunday of the third week of June and I have only just finished Physics. Force = mass x acceleration. Pressure is force over area and momentum is mass times velocity. Substituting the equation pV=nRT, and keeping in mind that Newton came up with 3 laws that no one has gone to jail for breaking, it logically, intrinsically, and mathematically equates that I am screwed for CTs.

Bringing us back to the point of pressure = Force/area. Since this equation holds, peer pressure = (peer x force) / area. And as you all know by now, the coolest kids exert the greatest peer pressure, therefore their level of peer force is abnormally high, keeping area constant, ceteris paribus, maximus gluteus. How then, is one supposed to up his peer force? Force = mass x acceleration. Acceleration is constant for all things on earth, so the only way to achieve a force of greater magnitude is to have greater mass.

WTF AM I WRITING.

1 WEEK EXTRA SCH HOLS IN LIEU OF H1N1 PLEASE KTHXBAI

This blog has been so untouched I think mozzies have been breeding and spreading malaria and dengue everywhere. Wait where do I fit in the H1N1 reference, shit.

So I came here to talk about the first ever GP test I have taken, and it is pretty much a session of examiners and question setters taking your brain out and screwing with it (and screwing it in the process, which gives rise to the expression “one screw loose”, which is kind of contradictory given that you have been screwed but now you lose one screw, kinda mathematical in a sense also, whatever) for 3 hours, with a 10 minute toilet break in between of course. More importantly, they give you a multitude of pseudo-philosophical questions to choose from, none of which I bet the teachers even understand fully themselves. Like they just anyhow permutate and combinate the dictionary until they can arrive at a question looking sentence that makes a bit of sense, then they garang and whack into the exam paper already, putting it on a large scale, where 1200 students that have proven themselves to be smart enough are insulted by questions that are usually blabbered by their senile grandmother.

Fig 1.1: Large scale- something that examiners put their dumbass childish questions upon

Okay coming back to the point, sample question include ” ‘What does not destroy you makes you stronger’, discuss the relevance or something something about this expression.” And they slap a 50 mark price tag on it. (Not really a price tag because marks ain’t a currency you stupid or what)

Now, relating to the question, it’s quite obvious that it doesn’t hold true.

Trials and tribulations. Destroy you? No. Make you stronger? No. Makes you emo.

School. Destroy you? Nearly. Make you stronger? Makes you some weak ass mugger who needs the lift to get to storey 1M.

Bullets. Destroy you? N- oh wait you’re already dead.

Viagra. Destroy you? Nope. Makes you stronger HELL YEAH

The list goes on, but the point is, the ‘what’ in this question can mean so many things- lifestyle, politics, society, culture or even your mom. One needs to be able to pause time like Hiro Nakamura in order to finish the essay.

My thoughts are messy now, just like an IKEA cupboard, but instead of being very organized its a mess. Yeah thats how my thoughts are right now. Whatever. Who cares. Main thing is first of the CTs are over, 2 days of holiday mood entails.

(and I didn’t do that question)

(thank god)
