-.-" nice "create post" page
damn, even this page is giving me problems, won't load properly. bah. nothing much going right today.
H3 econs: read at least one books a week, and they gave us four books right off the bat. i'm so sure i'm gonna be able to read all those lar... ay i'm not some candidate trying to get his masters degree lor please. i'm just a lowly JC student trying to mug other subjects as well...
oh, and class outing tomorrow? got half a mind not to go already. well i'll still probably drag myself there on yannie's account (in chinese, "kan ta de mian zi shang") but if i get anymore of a *certain* load of taurus (tm) i swear i'm gonna storm off. had enough already.
...
got a couple of stories to tell today. first one is some funny thing my dad's colleague related. you know some cab drivers are damn talkative? yeah, and usually i don't mind them, but i guess it irks some people. so this guy was returning from some late night feast "xi jiu" and the driver almost started a conversation as soon as he got in. "you know xxx international organization carried out a survey, and Singaporeans are like the unhappiest people on earth, why do you think that is so" (i'm translating this from chinese, so if it sounds a bit wrong then i'm sorry) so this guy who doesn't really want to talk snapped back "get in the car only $4.80 already, will anyone be happy?" (well, plus night charges, plus call charges yadda yadda) well it's effective. the cab driver shut up after that =D
2nd story, this one involves a bit of math but it's pretty entertaining too. also translated from chinese since i heard this from some storyteller when i was in china -.-"
there was one person A in a room, and there were twelve mosquitoes.
12 / 1 = 12
A couldn't take it anymore.
so A called in a friend, B
12 / 2 = 6
that's much better.
but the situation still can be improved, let's call in C
12 / 3 = 4
here comes D, this is getting lively.
12 / 4 = 3
now everyone's happy.
oh wait, here comes E.
12 / 5 = ??
so the four of them told E to stay out.
"piak*piak" E killed two mosquitoes
10 / 5 = 2
now the mosquitoes can be shared equally.
"piak*piak" E killed another two mosquitoes
8 / 5 = ??
everyone thought E was a troublemaker, so they chased him out.
and there you have it, division from china! come to think of it, it's a great lesson to use if you ever need to teach division to primary schoolers =D
