So I go to school feeling prepared cos I've done my homework. Or, during exam times, I've made my notes. And you aren't prepared cos you spent last night doing something else. So you want to borrow off me.
Sure, you can borrow. Just give it back before [subject], alright?
I gave it to you because you wanted to copy cos you suck and haven't done it. I did not give it to you so you could look at it and go "This isn't 10 lines..." or pick out individual words that are less legible than the others. Or tell me that I'm wrong when you don't have solid evidence. If I wanted an editor I would've chosen someone who's done their work. I am doing you a favour by letting you copy, so shut the fuck up and just take it.
For notes, don't complain that my notes don't make sense or are incomplete. That's because I made them for me and not for you. I use 5 different types of bullet points, and sure as hell I'm not going to explain them to you. I will leave out stuff that I understand because I don't need it.
Following up from the question I asked last blogspot; "If the world was to end next week, would you go out and get laid?", I got exclusively girls answering the question. I'll assume that these are actually girls and not guys pretending to be girls. So, it seems that they aren't so timid about sex after all. Interesting to note, all but one answered under anonymity. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing girls are much more interested in sex than they let on. However, under fear of how society will react (read: slut, prostitute, skank), they would not personally reveal this. Secondly, I can totally imagine a guy taking advantage of a girl's interest in sex, so there may be fear in that. Lastly, girls are still more sentimental beings than guys. Guys can have sex for the sake having sex; there needs no real emotional attachment to the person the guy is having sex with. Of course, that would make it so much more enjoyable, but for girls, without the emotion means no sex at all. I'm not sure if I've expressed myself clearly in this paragraph, I will make edits after English =)
I have neglected this part of the post for a while; the part where I comment about some social aspect of life. But I really need to have a name for this part... Until I get a better name, it'll be known as-
amirite?
If I come to you with a problem, I don't want you to say "I don't know what I can do about this. What can I do?". Firstly, this sounds like you don't give enough shit to be bothered to try a few ways first youself. Secondly, if I told you the exact thing that would make me smile at that moment, it wouldn't make me smile very much because I told you to. And that makes it lose all of its effect.
The main point I'm trying to make here is that, if I tell you how you can fix this problem, then I don't need you to fix this problem. If I asked you to apologise, and you did, it would mean nothing because I TOLD you to apologise, and if you meant it you would've done it before I asked you to. If I asked you to send me a good morning text every so often, it would mean so much less because it's not a pleasant surprise anymore.
amirite?
if tomorrow never comes
So on Formspring I asked the question
The girls, however, had "there are more important things than sex", they want it to "mean something". I don't recall any girls saying "yes" directly. It was very unsure, ie "I wouldn't go out of my way to get laid", or "Only if it was with someone worth it".
Just interesting to note the huge difference in interest in sex between the genders D:
Of course I would love you to answer this question if you didn't answer on Formspring. You're a-okay to answer as anonymous, just state your gender =)
And in the last post, we observed the humungous difference in the romantic ideals of girls. While some go gaga for weddings, other are like "meh clothes are cooler". I guess the views on ye olde romance are really scattered all over the place. Remember the good old days when people all saw chivalry the same way? Chivalry was always good because the man is taking care of the woman etc etc. New age: some love chivalry, some are downright offended because it's demeaning, etc. Hard to interpret much?
And in case I haven't told you yet, I'm leaving on 5th April for China yay. Bringing a stack of maths half yearlies, and maybe a bio textbook. Because looking at the chem/phys programs, we're all set. I swear we've learnt nothing new this year...
By the way, I created an "About" page that I just basically spammed with widgets. Cool story? Yes. Check it out, they're very functional haha.
Now don't forget to answer the question!
If the world was to end next week, would you go out and get laid?
If the world was to end next week, would you go out and get laid?The general response from guys was "alright", "hmm why not?" all the way up to "repeatedly!". Obviously there ARE conservative guys, but it's less than half.

le chatelier's principle
If you haven't done chem olympiad, or just plain forgotten, Le Chatelier's principle states that:
If a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature, volume, or partial pressure, then the equilibrium shifts to counteract the imposed change and a new equilibrium is established.
Basically, in an equilibrium reaction, if you do something to it, the equilibrium system will shift to neutralise what you just did. For example,
Nitrogen + Hydrogen <=> Ammonia
If you have some Nitrogen and Hydrogen, chucked them together, it will create ammonia until it reaches equilibrium. If you then add more ammonia, the system will be like "No screw you" and then break down ammonia until you have nitrogen and hydrogen at equilibrium again. Capiche?
In super short terms: if you mess with an equilibrium reaction, the reaction will un-mess itself.
So I have been able to comment about this in real life several times. Take Superman comics for example (our table was just randomly talking about Superman in English haha). There are no super-villians in our world atm, correct? Or at least, not to the world domination level that is so lovingly portrayed in comic books. But in comics there is a Superman. And he shifted the equilibrium towards good. So there needs to be a shift towards bad to regain equilibrium. So supervillians are born. =D
A more relevant, real life example?
I guess international politics. In general I guess we see communism as "bad". I don't really agree with that but I think the US military sure does. So like when Vietname was being "bad", the US government was like OH CRAP THIS IS SO RELEVANT TO US. ATTACK!
Likewise, now that Libyans decide to overthrow Gaddafi (or however 60-odd other ways there are to spell it), US is like "WE MUST 'HELP'. ATTACK!"
So yeah that's my general understanding of the political situation.
But Le Chatelier's Principle - If there is a rise of 'bad', there will be a rise of 'good' to remedy it.
Alright yay for encryption. Only 1 person is designed to get this so uhh. Have fun!
Exact title of your last blog post, plus the timestamp
trololol'd it has outlived it's usefulness.
So mine would look like "le chatelier's principle 6.11pm". Happy wild guessing for everyone! Except for the person who this is designed for hahaha. Don't forget caps and the way my time is punctuated =)
Yeah my title looks uppercase but if you copy paste into word it's lower case 8D
Just as a random note, whengirls certain girls hear the word wedding, they instantly mega-react. You know the one. Gooey eyes, voice rises up about 2 octaves, and start going "OMG AWWWW WEDDING WEDDING WEDDING AWWW". And I get scared. Like COME ON. Seriously T.T
[EDIT:] Getting excited about shoes and other clothes can be just as annoying, Crystal =)

thanks for your help. asshole.
Firstly, please follow the blog =D. Easy link to press just on the top right here ->
I like having big numbers on the right hand side of my screen. Also this blog just deserves more followers than Suraj and Tom 8D
Secondly, to the people that want to watch me play a game, and I let you watch: just because I let you watch, it doesn't mean I hired you as my personal coach. I do NOT want to hear you tell me to get this pickup, or to go to this path, or to tilt this way. Because *I'm* playing the freaking game. It's not like I'd be suffering if you weren't there. Quite the opposite, in fact. If you like the game so much, get your iPod or whatever out. Believe it or not, I also do not want to hear how you are tonnes better than me and your highscore is double mine. Must I really explain why?
A similar thing applies for maths. This is true story. So there's this dude who is in the Ruse class at Intuition but he doesn't go Ruse. So before class I pull a chair over and sit with Ray and Crystal to finish off some non-compulsory challenge questions. I'm just reading this question, and the guy comes up behind me and asks "Hey, do you need help?". I didn't, so I replied "Nah it's alright, I'll work it out myself. Thanks." Instead of moving somewhere else, or sitting down, he just stays standing up behind me, holding his booklet with the completed question, looking over my shoulder, alternating between watching me do the question and checking with his own answer. I don't have the heart to tell him to gtfo, but having someone watch over my shoulder while I do work is SO ANNOYING. So I make a mistake and he points it out uber fast and I'm just like "...Thanks". Though what I was thinking is closer to the post name haha
Final thing that's annoying is when people generalise and say it's impossible to do something (implying that it's impossible for everyone). So I'll have Person B and Person A. Person A is the main focus of my rage. So I was talking to Person B about a hypothetical physics question. Similar to the haystack to stop a bullet question, this one was about calculating how fast a basketball spins after it bounces if it was projected without spin, at a given angle and height of ground, and the coefficient of friction was given. So Person A (who I wasn't even talking to), chimes in and says "NO THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE". This was largely barred because Person B and I were already discussing how it was possible to calculate friction force, and relate that to circular motion (possibly), and defining the perfect world assumptions. Person A was still sitting there shaking their head, probably still commenting about how it was impossible.
HOW THE HELL CAN IT BE IMPOSSIBLE. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST. JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO IT, DOESN'T MEAN NO-ONE CAN DO IT.
Alright there's my rage =D. Probably fueled by boredom from ag. Wish me luck via following the blog 8D.

another reason
Why I hate English (the subjects), and don't consider it a real subject: It is massively arbitrary, and it depends on your marker's mood/interpretation of the piece that you are analysing. Take this example -
We were studying Widower in the Country with Mrs Mayers. And we discussed why it was effective, etc, and she was explaining how each stanza was "anticlimactic" [by the way, it is spelt like that, and also pronounced "an-tee-cliy-MAK-tik"]. Anyways, so when Mrs Mayers left for long service leave or whatever it was, Mrs Mason went through the same poem with us. And when asked to discuss, someone said "It emphasises how monotonous his day is because each stanza ends in an anticlimactic way."
To this, Mrs Mason did that thing where they consider the word carefully, and then she was like "No, I wouldn't use the word anticlimactic. That's not what I would use blah blah"
So if an English teacher can't even use a word that'll get full marks with another English teacher, then who the hell can?!
This is why right/wrong answer subjects (basically everything else minus HSIE, which is also bullshit) are the awesomesauce. Because if you're wrong, it is justifiably wrong and you know exactly how you can improve.
Now I'll just employ some irony and start hardcoring 2u and 3u oral assessments =(
On second thoughts, I'll leave a tab open and then do other stuff, feeling like I'm somewhat doing English.

survival of the fittest?
The most redundant plant I can think of is the banana. It's a huge freaking herb, and it produces some lovely fruits. These fruits serve absolutely no purpose to the plant, as they have no seeds. Fortunately, they are nicely packaged in a thick skin, and taste nice and sweet. They also have enough starch to be a staple in some cultures.
So how does a plant decide "hmm maybe I'll grow some fruits that have no use for me? I'll just photosynthesise like mad to make this lovely yellow thing that someone else can take and I don't mind cos I don't need it at all".
After a quick wiki read-through, it implies that wild bananas have seeds. Whether those seeds are viable or not is unclear. I also found out that bananas are faintly radioactive because of their high potassium content. Nice.
Secondly, do nerve cells die? As in, do they die within our lifetime? It seems unlikely that they'll die, as they have to undergo cell division. And then you'll have two nerves in the same place and it will be awkward turtles. What if the cell dies before it undergoes mitosis?
In biology, the sciatic nerve was mentioned; it is the largest cell in the body. Though it is only 10 microns wide (10^-6 m), so about half the width of a strand of human hair, it is about 1m long in adult humans. It stretches from the heel of the foot up to the buttocks, where it is connected to the spinal cord. So it's a humungous cell. If that cell undergoes cell division, or dies, either way, it would be so awkward turtle for the body.
So I guess it just isn't allowed to die.
Yay appendix time. What should I name this section? Anyways if you didn't read the survey I posted yesterday, I'd just like to repeat that these are not all personal experiences, they can also be things I hear from other people =)
Here goes:
If you don't like your opinions being dismissed as PMS, then don't use PMS as an excuse for when you've chucked a rage. It's unfair that when you're wrong, it's apparently because you are biologically incapable of not being a bitch.
Ultimately, you are still in charge of the decisions you make, even if they may be clouded by hormones or whatever causes PMS. And if you apologise, it's more like apologising for your biology than your actual actions. It's kinda like apologising with "I was drunk".
kk cue the flaming.

So my template is quite fugly right now. I hate the thing that says "Home" at the top. Mainly cos I don't have separate pages haha. And I want my navbar at the top =D. Oh well, I can't complain. After ag, I'll learn how to make stuff look nice. Unfortunately, I think Blogger may be blocked in China...
I added a few blogs to the list at the side; please tell me if I missed out a participant of the blog, or if I missed your blog completely! Cos I sometimes click on my own links to look at blogs, and if I don't have it on my page, then I miss out on your blog haha.
Anyway I guess the theme of the blog atm (very roughly) is living life Like No Tomorrow. If 2012 is true, that may be something that we might have to familiarise ourselves with very soon. So, work hard, rest well, enjoy life, and live without regrets. Make new friends. Convert old enemies. Also importantly, don't make new enemies and don't convert old friends.
So for something interesting? Why not start with a good old survey? =)
Do you think you’re good enough for the person you like?
Not applicable.
Does the last person you held hands with mean a lot to you?
Not anymore
Has this week been a good one?
No it's been shit, and it's only gonna get shitter. Then it'll be okay.

ad lib
So I owe you all a welcome to my new blog.
I guess Max and I post in totally different styles, it's a bit weird to put them together on one blog. Also I really wanted to change the template from the crappy default one, but I guess I was always thinking "What if Max didn't like it?"
I will work hard on my template and learn lots of stuff over the next few weeks, but at the current point in time, there is just too much stuff to do.
I hope you peoples enjoy the new blog, but I guess I can still have some sort of fun if I just post to myself =)
Don't forget to add Max's, at ronjny.blogspot.com
