"post mortem"

Yup...post mortem... *tsktsk* Just got pawned by CM1502. It wasn't a very tough paper, but I concentrated on the wrong topics, should've thought about tt eh, they've already tested all those enthalpy, entropy stuff during the midterms, why would they repeat them? Oh well, I'm just glad it's all over, hope my results won't plunge too badly.

Maths and Econs on saturday...hmm... Maths wasn't tt hard seriously, but I was slow to realise I was doing too slowly! Its really funny the previous night i even punched the numbers correctly on my calculator. 2 hrs with 8 questions, I shouldn't spend more than 15mins on each question. Sweet, I go into the exam hall feeling fine after doing the "maths" for the amount of time I had. After completing question 1a, I looked at my watch, ok, 15 mins, perfect timing (yah rite!). Only after completing 1b with about 25mins gone, to my horror, i just realised... EACH QUESTION HAS PART A & B! Oh well, at least I managed to get the answers so it wasn't tt bad. Even with a cheat sheet this question about the weather which was gone through during lect failed to catch my attention to go in nicely into my cheat sheet. I totally had no idea how to do, haha, skipped it without the time to come back to take a 2nd glance. Well, on the whole, I lost about 20marks to questions which I kinda stoned a little but couldn't do. Hope I got whatever I did correctly I guess. *shrug*

Econs was a little tougher than expected, hopefully can get A for it ba, my only redemption this sem, if not also for sem1. After finishing the exams wasn't really bothered to go through the answers with anyone lar, what's the point rite, hahaha, cos the mcqs are kinda subjective. Its easy to see why in the forums. Everyone was really enthusiastically posting past yr mcqs on the forum, with many ppl participating in the discussions. I was also one of those, haha, helping ppl hoping to get help in return, which I did get. But up til some point I stopped cos sometimes I post 1 question and get mixed responses, everyone arguing his/her own reasoning, without any "authority" to confirm what we discussed was correct, haha.

Oh well, CM is a goner, gonna start mugging for CN soon. I finish on friday! Can't wait! Hope to go out somewhere on Saturday eh, parents not home, C-A-R is mine! *muahahaha*

you are an isfj

Interesting. I did this a very long time ago, haha, can't recall what I was then le, too bad eh. It would've been interesting to see if they were different, how much I've changed through the years. Oh well, this is what I am for the moment I guess... Still trying to discover what I excel in...hmm...child psychologist?!?

You Are An ISFJ

The Nurturer

You have a strong need to belong, and you very loyal.
A good listener, you excell at helping others in practical ways.
In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music.
You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for.

You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.

What's Your Personality Type?

3pts and counting!

Just when I thought Man Utd were gonna steam roller to the end of the season to re-establish themselves as champions in the EPL, Edwin van der Sar made 2 blunders to gift Portsmouth a victory, whaha. Chelsea won a hardfought victory against London rivals Tottenham through a long-range speculative effort by Carvalho who put in a match-winning performance for the defending champions.

Seems to me that Man Utd do not have the temperament or winning mentality like they used to have a long time ago when they won a few EPL titles back-to-back. Chelsea definitely have the upper hand here. It was a pleasant sight to see Joe Cole up and running on the pitch after being out for a large part of the season. Can't wait for Owen's return on the pitch in black-and-white!

West Ham kept their survival hopes alive beating Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, a surprise result for me. I guess the European exit for the Gunners was too much for the youngsters to bear after what I thought was an over-achievement last season when they played Barca in the CL finals. Wigan are paying the price for Paul Jewell's decision to make Emile Heskey their chief striker. Heskey is one of the well-known lousy strikers I know in the EPL (hahaha, opps) and I still remember what Paul Jewell said when he signed Heskey before the season started. He wanted to help Heskey return into the England line-up. What a joke. Hope they relegate.

Finally! A Newcastle victory! Newcastle also played crap after their exit from the Uefa Cup. Good old unestablished manager Roeder sticked with the pairing of Parker and Butt and I kinda wonder whether there was deja vu when the lack of creativity and ideas in the midfield resulted in a match that bored everyone to death eh. Taylor scored a winner in the 80+ minutes with a thumping header from an outcurling corner by Milner. It was really sweet to see such classic English-style goals still ard in the EPL when most if not all teams choose to take in-curlers from corners since there's a chance it can go straight in or if accurate, anyone touching the ball could put it into the net. I'm sure outcurlers require someone who heads the ball well eh.

Well, hopefully Newcastle keeps winning and attain a position high enough to secure the Uefa Cup backdoor, the Intertoto. Sianz, Newcastle have been depending on this backdoor ever so often! Newcastle was even declared the winner of the Intertoto Cup in mid-season when suddenly the Uefa panel or whoever was in charge, announced that all the teams that qualified for the Intertoto pre-season have all exited and Newcastle was the only team left. (An announcement which shocked the world i'm sure. =.=)

butterfly effect

Remember the show The Butterfly Effect starring Ashton Kutcher in 2003? It was in my opinion quite a good show cos it re-emphasises (ever so often by anywhere, anything else) that we should never try to change history, even if we possess the power to travel through time back to the past, mainly due to the reason that changing history usually has a rippling effect.

Those stuff we could figure out by giving it a thought logically but little did I knew then tt the title already suggests that. Only after a recent IT1005 lecture where Prof Saif used Matlab and did some very interesting 3D graph plotting about Chaos Theory did I understood the "butterfly effect" which Wikipedia explains as small variations of the initial condition of a nonlinear dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system.

I just sorta wonder whether luan4 zhong1 you3 xu4 came from here as well, tsktsk.
