If you only once would let me

Hey. I guess I have been addicted to Rebel Yell by Toby Rand thanks to Desmond. It's a damn good video, which i think everyone should see. The lyrics of the song are quite sick though. Haha.

Went down to Park Mall yesterday to get my braces fixed. My teeth are painful once again, but i guess i don't have much of a choice. After that, ate pasta at PS and went off to school for the LA lectures. Woah. They were quite good in the sense that I was able to consolidate most of the work taught in the first year in a few years. I definitely have a much clearer picture of things now, which is good. I also got to look at the various LA mock papers, and one essay question struck me. Math is an art, not science. Do you agree? What do you think? I have never seen such a weird question as an essay topic before.

I think I would agree. But let's not go there for the time being.

I just hope everything works out well. Just trying not to get worked up, but i guess i can't help it. And many things are bugging me right now. I cleared some doubts, but new ones came about. I still don't know what to do.

To yvonne, yeah, 6A really did rock! Hopefully we can all have a better time talking and having fun during the chalet! I don't know why, but i wasn't too sad when i left my primary school. I mean, I was leaving a lot of things behind, most importantly, friends of 4 to 6 years. But to me, primary school was just so long. I was just so happy when primary school ended, thinking that there were better things to do in life. I thought it would be much more fun. But, I got to learn that the world wasn't a bed of roses.

I guess I'll have to go back to my room then.

Time sure does fly Eugene. And I like my black cbox yr. Haha.

And just something I thought was really funny. A bit stupid, but still funny.



The following is an actual question given on a University of Liverpool
chemistry final exam.

The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it
with colleagues via the Internet, which is why we now have the pleasure of
enjoying it as well.

Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?


Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law that
gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed or some variant.

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. Most of these religions state that, if you are not a member
of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not
belong to more than one religion, we can project that 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 constant, the volume of Hell must expand
proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. 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.

2. 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 Sandra during my freshman year,
that "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into
account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be
true, and thus I am sure that Hell is endothermic and has already frozen
over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows
that it is not accepting any more souls and is extinct...leaving only
Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being - which explains
why, last night, Sandra kept shouting "Oh my God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A".
