Satisfaction
Friday, September 23, 2005
I finally went on a shopping spree after the prelimary exams had come to an end.
I bought a lot of comics and chinese novels to satisfy my monotony at home. Although I feel a stab of pain for my wallet, it's worth it.
Next day, I went to Bugis with some of my friends to shop. I bought quite a few things for myself, which includes a necklace, skirt, belt and a bag (the bag was under the influence of Miow and Lynette). Haha, I must admit my spendings was rather extravagant on that day. I feel slightly guilty for buying so many things, but I agree with Lynette that this will be the only week that we can shop until the end of the A Levels (Haha, the best excuse for my splurge).
On Thursday, I went "window-shopping" with Xue Xin in Orchard. I didn't dare to spend further, since my allowance for 3 weeks had been depleted in just 1 day. We spent hours roaming in Far East Plaza and I even bumped into several familiar faces: Eileen, Wei Har, Miko and Li Ping. Haha, these 2 days had really been very eventful and enjoyable.

After today's Physics Pape
r 3, what can I say further? The paper just rocks! I never knew that the teachers are so heartless to see many failures.
I wonder if I can do something like this to whoever who came up with the 3 papers...
Just kidding.

No 1 on Wishlist: A good night's sleep without any nightmare of Physics. I hope that this is not too much to ask...

A lesson learnt the hard way

What a hectic day! And it is all thanks to my ostensible neat dealing tactic. What a fool I have been! I'm praying incessantly now that the fib will turn out otherwise and that I won't cause someone else to experience the corollary that I should bear.

1) I Like Your Thinking A teacher asks her class, "If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?"
She calls on little Johnny. "None, they all fly away with the first gunshot."
The teacher replies, "The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking."
Then Little Johnny says, "I have a question for YOU. There are three women sitting on a bench having ice cream. One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?"
The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, "Well I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone."
"The correct answer is the one with the wedding ring on... but I like your thinking."
2) Have enough of
3) A Chemist Genius
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term exam paper: "Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat), or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your answer with a proof."
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant thereof.
One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since, there are more than one of these religions, and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell, because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities: If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Krissy Jones during my Freshman year that "it will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you", then (2) cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic.
This student got the only A.
