1 paper down and free to go... maybe
30 January 2008 - 23:22
My exam has finally ended and I think I had survived through it pretty well. I was happy to have studied the topics that were closely tested and for the first time, I actually feel comfortable doing the papers. Unlike the past, this round was much smooth sailing I say. In any case, the unexpected may sometimes happen. So the only thing to do now is to pray and hope for the best on 27th Feb when the results will be announced. Wish me all the best and to you as well.
Went out with one of sec friends today. He would like to be better known as Dass. Had a great time looking through fashion books as he was searching for one and walking around the big mall that makes you walk in circles. I mean big rounds of circles. I think you know which I am referring to. The one at the end of the Purple train line. A great place to walk if you wish to escape from the hot weather and sun.
As for now, I am waiting for the anti virus scanning to complete on my computer. It is taking forever, ever, ever, and forever and ever to end. My Window Defender is giving me minor problems as well. Keeping my laptop in shape and to the best condition is one of my top priority. I do not wish it to die on me now. It has proven its value and accompanied through my difficult times. So stay strong. If only you can read what I am typing to you.
Feeling kind of tired now. Drowning into the stage of nothingness, I have no idea what to do tomorrow. Should I start working out or visit some old friends for a drink? In any case, I think I'll get my hair cut tomorrow and visit Dass at NAFA (Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts) for his school's open house. He studies fashion design and he excels in them for the strangest thing. I always wonder how anyone can do so well in this field when he often gets mix up with numbers. Haha. No offense.
In any case, many thoughts are flowing through my mind right now. Hope that I have kept you entertain all this while. All the best to those who are still having or taking their exams soon. Don't stress, take rest ya. Take care =]
"Emotions are erected by things that can be so micro and unnoticeable. They can sometimes be so devastating and yet so magical. When will they ever happen? Only time can tell I guess."
In case you are really bored and have a love for Maths, there is something interesting below which you should check it out. Brought to you by my lecturer. Enjoy.
This is for those who appreciate the beauty of Maths!
1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
Brilliant, isn't it?
And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321
Now, take a look at this...
101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just the way I did.
Have a nice day & God bless !!
