Confused over whether the article I have found for my EoM is suitable or not.
This is unsettling.

LOL watch this its damn bloody funny, for those who do not know about it yet XD
Today, during Econs, Nick, Hongxiu and I were trying to imitate Bobby Lee when given any chance to do so.
For example,
GLS: "THIS IS NOT HOW YOU DRAW THIS GRAPH."
Nick: "But sometimes I do..."
But of course its done only among ourselves. Imagine if we actually said it out aloud lol GLS will explode at us with some random nonsense like "Then your Sometimes will lead to an S for economics," or something around that level -.-
Then everytime GLS trying to make a point and teaching the class how to do it properly and explain properly, Hongxiu would be nodding his head like Bobby Lee with the damn funny expression. Can't describe it here go watch the video first XD
I was practically laughing the entire lesson, other than worrying if she would call me up to do a question together with Ewen, because neither of us did our tutorials (as usual). Rarely was Econs so funny XD
Today was a crazy long day as well, with 6 periods back to back and no breaks in between. Ewen was going on about there being some rule in RJC that says that we should not have 6 periods in a row, but apparently it is not true, and they want to breed a bunch of still-growing (Yes I am! Wooo!) youths into anorexic bamboo shoots by starving us half to death.
Today was also abseiling day for ODAC. Abseil from the tower in which we did our class camp activities, using three different methods. Fun when you're actually doing it, but not fun to hear about all the theory behind it (rues the two hour theory session on Monday that I had to endure - not sure if anyone feels the same way). It's also not exactly as fun as rock climbing, but nevertheless its a fun experience. New skill learned! Woot!
And today ends with a DotA session with Ewen, because there's apparently no homework when I asked him. If I find out he scammed me, he's going to die along with me :/

According to this new theory,
Value of a good = Satisfaction derived from the good / Price of the good
Therefore, when price of the good = 0, then the value takes on an undefined value, which can be stated as unlimited.
Therefore, free goods are the best.
Credits go to Ewen for this theory, which was discovered at a humble location called Cafe Cartel where we were feasting on the free bread provided while spending $6.40 combined for both our meals there.
Should go there more often. Always laugh like mad when talking to him there.

I finally got the last of all my test results on Friday, and wasn't really too happy that day because of one thing which I screwed up which I thought I wouldn't. Ah well life sucks :/
Anyway here are my grades:
Chemistry - B: This is the first result which I got back, and the first shock. Pleasant one though, because as far as I know it's quite alot better than the average of the school, so no complaints there. My friends, however, show me a =O face (that exact expression, just with 1000x more intensity), when I told them what I got for Chem, considering that it's honestly a rather tough paper (in my opinion). Happy happy joy joy, and now I don't understand Reaction Kinetics at all -.-
Economics - S: S for SCREW THIS @&#*$^@ paper! I know I didn't understand the case study, so failing that is a given, but failing the essay as well... that takes the cake. However, it does seem that failing the essay is the norm, which is a sign of either we are damn screwed, or the teachers are crazy markers, or both. Still, apparently, S is the average for the level, which is really really screwed up lol.
Geography - B: Another pleasant but not so unexpected B, not really a high B but still a B nevertheless. Quite a few people in our class got A apparently, so it's good to know that my class is good at Geography. Shihua got A even though she say she will fail - I'm sure you can predict your grade so far off lol. The guys who usually sit at the back of the class all utter pwnage, all scoring Bs. Woot!
Mathematics - B: After doing the paper, I know that I had 16 marks gone simply because of blanks. Hate it when you have the situation where if you don't do part (a) of a question, the rest of the parts of the questions are all undoable. Sucks, but that's the reality of maths. Anyway 16 marks gone, minus a few more marks due to careless mistakes, and tadaa A become B. Ironically, maths was one of my worst subjects in RI, so as usual my friends who hear of me getting B for maths all gave me that same =O expression (same intensity as with Chemistry), and yea just remained petrified there for quite awhile.
General Paper - C: Paper 2 was gotten back first, and I scored 30.5/50, which is essentially a B. At that point I was thinking, "OMG just score 30/50 for essay and I will get my B! Yippeee!!!" Then I got back my essay on Friday, and I got 24/50 -.- Don't really know why people consider my GP to be pro, even though I can get such marks. Aiya, at least next time I know that I should be more careful for my essay.
And that concludes the comments on all my papers. Time to wake up, people.
I realised that I suck at essays. That's really screwed because half of the papers I take require essays, and there's no way you can study how an essay is written. For me, it's just a question of mood. Good mood, write splendid essays. Bad mood, get owned by red crosses (oh wait not that Red Cross, I mean the marking one). And all the different subjects require different style of essay writing. Nonsense :/
And now for the final comment:
LOL 15%
ivan fed the world.
This is a special post because it is the 100th post, but with no special content.
Anyway, the whole of last week I have been gaming (doh it's like the end of the exams already it's time to relax), and it has been fun and relaxing. Gaming does not exactly relieve me of stress (must think of how to kill the other guy, therefore stressful), but at least its the fun type of stress. It can also be tiring (long hours spent in front of the computer playing), but this is the kind of fatigue that I enjoy.
Anyway, this week is the week that we get back almost all of our results (except for Chem, which we have already gotten back), and the one subject I'm most certain of failing is Econs. Friends from other schools might be like "Chey fail econs, I fail it 37488123947238947x already, nothing special one lah." However, much as the situation is the same here in RJC, we still do wish to pass very much. The chances of passing are definitely very low, however, due to a screwed up case study and badly done part b for the essay, which is virtually around 80% of the marks XD
Anyway, we have to learn to accept what we get, and face what we have done. One thing that I have been seeing around is this intense sense of competition I see around many of my friends. Yes, yes, yes, I know that competition is vital in order to improve (just like in Britannia the Emperor lets his children compete, and the weakest are eliminated *oops Code Geass sidetracking*), but OVER-competitiveness is the trouble I'm referring to today. I've probably mentioned this before, but we should try to compete without stating the competition. What do I mean?
Person A: "What do you think you can get for Econs?"
Person B: "I think I can get a B." ------> HAHA FAT HOPE (unless you are a Puah)
Person A: "OK I SHALL AIM TO PWN JOO."
Person B: *O_o*
Or something like:
Person A: "Eh what did you get for Chem ah?"
Person B: "I got a B."
Person A: "FUCK FUCK FUCK I JUST LOST TO THIS RETARD OMFG I SUCK /WRIST"
Person B: "Uhh..."
Person A: "Oh shit. Did I just say that out loud?"
Person B: "Yea..."
Person A: "Fuck."
Yea anyway I digress, but what I mean basically is to compete with other people (it's inevitable) in your head only, and not express the OUTRIGHT DESIRE AND LUST FOR ULTIMATE ACADEMIC PWNAGE. Relax, and turn the stress off for yourself and for others in this way. You want to improve and pwn the guy? No need to announce the need to do so! Just go and study to pwn, simple as that.
Work hard people (like you already are), and good luck for CT results this week. Sincerely.
However, I do think that I will get totally:
