Biology Blooper

Okay, i'm sure some of you are worried that the biology error in the paper will cause us to slip a grade, OR increase in a grade, but i'm still dead sure that the answer should be 0.5. Look at the following:

† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
*ask yourself
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
X, being NON polydactyl, is tt
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
the probability of the child being polydactyl is ZERO
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
but, if X marries someone with polydactyl (since its dominant), won't the baby be polydactyl?
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
so without showing who's his bloody wife or her bloody husband
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
cannot determine
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
so i conclude that theres 3 probabilities
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
a) the guy doesnt marry
b) that guy marries a polydactyl
c) that guy DOESN'T marry a polydactyl
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
since the options does not have a 1/3, a) will be striked out
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
leaving
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
he either marries a polydactyl, giving a polydactyl baby, or he doesn't marry a polydactyl, thus, producing a normal baby
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
since polydactyl is a RARE genetic condition, we are NOT given any statistics to reinforce our conclusion, thus we impose the laws of elementary mathematics
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
taking the same probabilty as whether it will rain today or not in emaths,
its 50:50, it either rains, or doesn't
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
thus, concluding the ans to be 0.5 OR void
† Misère Noire † dang, i'm gonna be so lonely in sajc ._. says:
=D

Well, there you have it, so MAKE IT VOID AND MAKE US ALL HAPPY! -_-

SS WAR EPISODE III: Revenge of the Pear (translate pear square rotten to chinese)

I'm not sure whether this is true or not, but from what i heard from yaoi (yao wei), our SS teachers are waging war against one another.

It all begin, when our epic HOD made this comment at 4-3:

DISCLAIMER: the following words carries partial truth, and may cause certain disturbance to some people, viewer discretion is advised.

English:

"I am happy to say, 4-3 and 4-1 did quite well for SS, hope i could say the same for 4-2, but the teacher, haizzzz"

Point to get across:

"YOU HAVE ME YOU WIN, YOU HAVE THE OTHER TEACHER YOU DIE! YOU HEAR ME?! YOU DIE! YOU WALLOW IN YOUR PITIFUL SORROW CRYING OVER HOW BADLY YOU HAVE DONE IN SS AND FIND INDULGANCE IN YOUR PATHETIC SELF-PITY! NOW HEIL ME! HEILLL MEE!!"

-Another SS teacher walks pass-

I don't know if this story is credible or not, but i'm quite sure my guess is as good as yours, some of you might think the following:

1) what's the probability of that ss teacher walking pass when pear said that? (i don't know, but i CAN tell you the probability of kwek saying that is 1)

2) Aiyo, so careless (most probably en yeow)

3) Har har har har (insert velocity graph of a ball being released to the ground that bounces back up for sound frequency diagram), yes, its you victor

Or simply,

4) WOMG, LOL!

PS: Uni won't be blogging for a looong time, now he is currently aiming for 6~8 pts for O lvls, thus, the mugging after recharging his batteries for a week.

Au revoire~! And may T3h f0rc3 b3 w1th j0u l01 (copyrighted by Darth)

Wee~Biology was easy =D

Wow, had my shock when i first saw the paper for section B.

First Question:

Uni's thoughts: Didn't i see this on the june paper?

*scribbles happily*

Second Question (same as the june paper again):

Uni's thoughts: WOAH! DID SOMEONE SCREW AROUND WITH THE PRINTER AGAIN?!

*scribbles answers happily at the same time*

Third Question: NOT the same, hur hur

Uni's thoughts: Dang, i wished someone really did screw with the printer =l

Finished the paper at 10am, (started at 9.10), checked, (time is 9.14), check again, (time is 9.15), checked again (time is 9.15) -_- So i fell asleep while checking. Till someone woke me up, i stared at my watch hoping time had passed, (time is 9.15) =_+ wtf

So what can uni do in that span of 40 minutes? Ah, chemistry is tmr isn't it? So there i was scribbling all the stuff i can remember for chemistry. Invigilators walked passed and stared, even Miss Lam was speechless when i was writing =D So, the moral of the story is, you don't have to sleep to have fun during an exam, just scribble on a piece of paper and let the examiners stare =P

Ah well, the paper was rather easy (in my opinion), think i might get an A for bio ;p *pops a champagne bottle* Bet that crazy wayne's disapointed ;p

So anyone want any luck for tomorrow's chemistry, rub kwek's head, steal his aura and put it in your head, its way more effective (and environmentally friendly) then burning your chemistry book, dissolve it in water, and drink.

Now if you don't something bad will happen, such as having your little sister wander into a schoolbus full of blind deaf school children, and that schoolbus will be T-boned by a cement truck going 75 miles per hour carrying 9500 pounds of cargo =D

Wee~ Screwed we are =D

Ah well, had a really refreshing 12 hour sleep after the physics practical which is horrendously practically terrible practical =D

Teacher: So how's your practical?
Uni: EXCELLENT! I'M SURE ALL OF US CAN ACE IT EASY! *coughs* sacarsm (very audible for the teacher)
Teacher: What? 4-1 leh! How can like that?
Uni: 4-1 is useless if the teacher is useless at teaching us practicals =l
Class: *stares in shocks and horror seeing uni tell the truth*

Ah well, no offence, but mdm shariffa THEORITICALLY (according to her, how many ppl scored distinction for physics) produce Theoretical A+ students, but i'm sure they PRACTICALLY fail practicals =l

Mehh, shan't talk bout sad stuff, talk about today~

Amaths was easy, yet horrible, somehow, my pudgy fingers seem to push buttons wrongly and all my calculated values are like damn different from kwek's =_= Ah well, i only minused 20marks (according to kwek) at most (working marks not included) =P

Makan-ed with xuan qi after that, haha, she's like damn wasteful, the nice nice ba chou mee she didn't even finish, and she ended up pouring soup into it to play around =_= Should send her to africa sometime, hmm...

So went to sing post to study after that since she didn't wanna go to her "dream workplace" for some apparent reason. Song ying ps-ed us, so left me and her =l Met Wayne again at sing post and we studied together (with ming jia and the xin yi) So study study, we saw that same purple-shirt-1-dollar-sprite-ordering lady who looked like someone from "The Ring" but ate macdonalds (yeah, more obese). Woah, damn horrible sia, she wear the same clothes for 3 days since we've studied at sing post, scary @_@

Well, doing a quick blog, so shan't rant anymore, and lets hope i can ace the bio paper tmr =l

Today, chemistry practical, tomorrow, APOCALYPSE!

Yeah yeah, i'm sure most of you guys out there who has given up on the subject physics is probably DAMN RELAX about tomorrow since a particular science teacher has been so HARDWORKING and DRIVEN that she DOES PRACTICALS so often that her students are so CONFIDENT.

*cough cough, sarcasm*

Well, there are somethings you can do to reduce the chances of screwing up tomorrow's practical exams. Here are 3 easy steps:

Step 1: Have a good night's sleep.
Step 2: Pray to God so he'll grant you wisdom yadda yadda etc
Step 3: Put a baby jesus statue in your bag and hang a jesus keychain by your pencil box

Ooops, wrong script, applicable only to christians, well, for us PAGANS and ATHEISTs, here's one simple line:

MUG OR DIE YOU NOOB!!!ONEONE!!ONE!!111!

Nah nah, jokes asides, but seriously, what CAN we study for physics practical? We don't even have a physics mock exam =_= Lets see what the MOST EXCELLENT PHYSICS TEACHER WHICH CAN PRODUCE 80% DISTINCTIONS IN 4-1 said:

"Whaaat yew ngee?! I've done so MANY practicals with your class and now you tell me you're not confident?"

*sacarsm lock on*

Here's what the expert who has been studying physics for the whole of today gotta say:

Xuanqi: The trend for experiment design questions is to get density o_o

...and i think lens might come out tomorrow, i just got a feeling..

------------------------n o s a c a r s m i n t e n d e d ----------------------------------------

Thats funny, i had a feeling electronics would come out, then again, i had a feeling that a chimpanzee put into cold sleep was revived and ran rampage around the chemistry lab during our practical too.. hmmmmm

Some question that may come out for the experiment design for chem

Ok, since xuan qi asked, and i can't msn nor call her (because she busted her bills) i'm just gonna state some ways of the question being phrase. From someone who's not as good (as kwek), here's some SUGGESTIONS (by that meaning i will not be held responsible if you wrote this and got it wrong) for the experiment design qns.


Example:

X Forms a compound of MHCO3 which decomposes on heating according to the following equation.

2MHCO3 -> M2CO3 + CO2 + H2O

Given a sample of MHCO3 and the usual apparatus (meaning no super advanced science invention that you can cock up and claim it exists) in a school laboratory, suggest an experiment(normally other then the one you do for titration) which could be use to find the atomic Mass of M. You should include measurements you would take and show how you would use your results to obtain a value for the relative atomic mass of M.

So the answer wld be sth like this since they already give you the equation:

Heat a known MASS(not sample) of MHCO3 and collect the VOLUME (don't use amount) of Carbon Dioxide gas produced using a GAS SYRINGE (remember to name your apparatus and please stop commenting on how poor the school is that it doesnt have one). Using Volume/24dm^3 = NO. of Mol, you can find the mol of MHCO3 should double the amount of carbon dioxide (due to the equation) So once you know the Mol of MHCO3 and you have the mass of it, you can find the relative atomic mass of M by Mass/Molar mass = Mol.

Points to note, always remember to use the MOL concepts, the equations given and that few experiments we do. Always compare the MOLs in the equation, then you can find your ans.

As for the design the experiment crap, it appears in many ways, such as if you get a mass, you just say you obtain the mass by mixing acid and sth, you dry the residue btw filter papers and weigh the mass of the residue. Then using Mass/molar mass = mol, you can find the mol and blah blah.

So yeah, good luck =)

Aftermath of first prelim week

Dang, today's practical is HORRENDOUS, TOTAL MAYHEM, DISASTROUS!

Biology-

Cut your dam onion rings and draw them.

Wth lor, then we do as they say, the whole class stained their graph paper with onion juice

Miss Lam: USE YOUR COMMON SENSE! ONION IS STILL WET! YOU'RE GONNA DIRTY YOUR GRAPH PAPER THAT WAY! *rabbles*

Uni's thoughts: wth la, which ()@$&*!()$ came up with this sh*t experiment, draw what stupid onion size, just measure cannot meh?!

-15minutes ticks by-

Miss Lam: OH MY GOODNESS! WHY HAVEN'T YOU DRAW THE ONION?! OMG YOU TOO! AND YOU TOO! *runs around frantically in the lab*

Uni's thoughts: *stares* ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DRAW?!?! *reads* UH OH! *re-dos the experiment*

Conclusion: For those who think Miss Lam is being bothersome, no she isn't, she saved most of our asses today (kwek excluded) we're indeed screwed today, if she was not our invigilator today =_=

=======================================================

Here's a summary of how i felt i did for the prelims:

SS- phew, questions quite ok

Geog- WHO THE )(@$&*$@ SET THOSE @_($*_!@% KILLER QNS?! MAKE ME MEMORIZE ALL 26 FORMS OF ESSAYS OF TOURISM AND MANUFACTURING AND ONLY 3 CAME OUT $@()!*&%(!$

Amaths: Wah lao, my shoelace (used to measure area of graphs) forgot to add one last coordinate, 12 + 7 gone =_=

Emaths: Yay~ rather easy =D Gonna ace it >=P

Physics: Good thing the setters didn't set any D.C. or A.C.s or electronics =_= if not screwed i will be

===================================================

Upcoming worries:

Physics practical, we are screwed. Somewhere back in my mind, either something erased all my physic practical memories OR she didn't do much with us. That day, mr lim did dynamics (balancing of Metre Rule to weigh stuff), we took more then 1/2 hour trying to balance that (@$*Q(@$ ruler, end up, only a handful could complete the experiment -_-

I end with this statement: Mdm Shariffa's practicals are practically useless.

pen spinning fun!

ah well, was bored, thought this looked pretty cool o_o

PS: its my pencil case at the corner if you think i didn't do this =P it just looks complicated

BEST, FISH EVER!

Been waking up at like 7am everyday to go study with a bunch of friends, fun, but backbreaking (talk about writing with your backs bent for a few hours =_= ) So today, went to the Esplanade (Durian) to study under xuanqi's reccomendation since the bugis NLB is like, damn crowded =_=

So, we reached there at around 9.30++ am, we stood outside, staring at the sign:

"Opens from Monday ~ Friday, 11am to 9pm"

uni: =_= wth? *stares at xq*
xq: Yay~lets go Macs~

---------------------------------------------------------------

So we ended up studying at Macs with the irritating tibeten guy screaming at some black raven at Shangri-La

Now, the star of today's post, Long John Silver's NEWEST, most "DELECTABLE" dish ever!

"Breaded fish with tongue tingling sauce on rice"

Damn right, the sauce was tongue tingling, or rather, exotic. And by what the manager of Long John's mean by exotic in our context, i figured it meant "disgusting", "revolting" and absolutely "horrendous" What was supposedly honey tasted like some sauce made from a hive of dead bees ran over by a rubbish truck!

So the both of us, took a few bites and gave up. Even resorting to filling the entire bowl of food with chilli turned out USELESS and every attempt to qwell the "flavour" ended up in futile. Distraughted, we ate the nacho like thing, spying around the Long John's for victims like ourselves.

A middle aged guy walks in with 2 kids, orders ONE bowl of what we ordered for himself and bought sth else for the kids.

We stared.

uni: *whispers* another victim, let us pray for him
xq: *nod nod*

As we watched with both pity and horror, the brave soul ate...

..and ate...

..and ate?..

uni: holy sh*t, ''his appetite is as vast as the universe and his stomach is made of steel! (in chinese)
xq: O_O

that guy's a monster (or are we too spoiled) he wolfed down the food as if it's edible! No sooner, he finished it with us looking in awe.

Conclusion: Guys after NS can wolf down almost any types of food.

Oh, before i forgot, if anyone wants to play a prank at SMRT (with all those policemen running here and there) heres what you do:

Wear sth that makes you look like a terrorist, throw a box into the train, wait till the doors are closed, you put up this notice:

"There is a bomb in your train, have a nice day =) " -Saddam Bin Osama


Sit back, and watch the passengers stare back at you in fear XD

The death of Steve Irwin

Steve Irwin, aged 44, died after having his lungs/heart punctured by a stingray along the coasts of the great barrier reef, this is a great loss to all of us who loved his show =l *Sigh, if only he had listen to what his crocodile oracle had to say...

A friendly crocodile warning our late conservationist
Whatever is this stingray talking about?!
Oh...

Okok, jokes over =l Poor guy, i used to love his show so much because it helps me get over the sunday blues =l *Sigh, hope he's in heaven (i think he's a christian), playing happily with his crocodile friends (do crocodiles go to heaven?) Well, he was a good man, perhaps years later his son, Bob Irwin, will take over when i'm like 36 =l May whoever's up there bless his soul =(
