Note to self: I don’t think self-promotion in an exam paper is a good idea. I’ve done it twice already O_o. I don’t think I should do it in the next exam.

I’m quite glad I blogged about this. It came out in the exam. I don’t think I did a good job explaining it though (hence the self-promotion as a diversion, haha). Also, a lot of the stuff I blog on the Pressyo blog came out. Though, strangely, I blogged about it long before I even studied the subject.

Short post today. Gotta prepare myself for my Strategy and Policies paper. Reminder to self: no mention of zombies or self promotion please. In leaving, here’s a chatlog between cfgt and I last night:

cfgt says:
what time’s your exam tomorrow?

Chewxy says:
8 am

cfgt says:
why do you have so many morning papers?

Chewxy says:
all my papers are 8am papers. And this one’s in a chapel

Chewxy says:
haha irony. Me, the blasphemer, taking an exam in a chapel - sounds like a suredie situation

cfgt says:
you’re a blasphermer?

Chewxy says:
god damn you

cfgt says:
lol

I am not a mathematician. I can point you to one, though - Kurt Godel. He is dead, so I guess you gotta wait till the End Times or the scientists at Umbrella Corp to perfect the zombie creating virus. Kurt will tell you that any consistent set (such as the [censored, exam topic] set) is never complete. I may be wrong about this; and if I am, Godel will be rolling in his grave.

Intuitively though, the [exam topic] set is not complete because [intuitive explanation, with diagrams, one part labelled "crazies, and Kurt Godel's fetishes"].

(Please do note that there is a high chance that I will be wrong for whatever I wrote above. If that be the case, I hereby allow Kurt Godel to eat my body parts when the zombies arise. However, on the off chance that I may be correct in my intuitive explanation, send a congratulatory email to [my email]

And that, ladies and gentlement, is why I am so screwed for my exam. That was verbatim, word for word on what I wrote for my exam. I had no idea how to do the last 2 questions (out of 5). At all.

Best overheard statement:

I skipped Question 4 because I’ve never even heard of [exam topic] equilibrium. How the fuck am I supposed to prove that it’s equivalent to a market equilibrium?

I came back and checked the question (on Google.. my notes had NOTHING to do with that topic), and gave myself a HUGE facepalm. Turns out, THAT was the topic I was most well versed with - I could prove it in my sleep. It was just in another damn name. WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF (yes, I skipped that question too)

This monster/plant has been occuring in my dreams for 4 days in a row now. Every dream was similar: I would sit in front of a field full of these monsters/plants, and they would open their jaws, and out pops a smaller version of itself. This happens recursively until they’ve reached the skies. And then they’d stop moving, and I’d still watch them.

Every night, I’ve watched them grow with a separate person, some of them, I know. One of them, I knew, but cannot pinpoint who it is. We would just watch these plants/monsters grow and grow.

It happens infinitely, this dream. Even the dream is recursive. But ah well… All these has happened before, and will happen again, and again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again… (Gods dammit, I sound like a Hybrid)

And today, because I have nothing better to do, I shall afford you a few seconds into my brain. I was being extra mindful this morning in the bath, and I recorded these (rendered as a stream of consciousness):

Hmm how to get more visitors into Pressyo? I think I need to update the req sheet I sent to Ruben. Sigh, why is explaining markets so hard. Damn, I’m kinda screwed for my exams. Where are my marks.. dammit, why is my lecturer so slow in releasing the mid-sem marks. I guess I should be ok for the exam.. then again, if you cannot explain the simple update to the market to your colleagues, what makes you think you can write for an exam? Go read more. Oh look, my legs and hands are so red. The water must be really hot. I’m like the boiled frog… not realizing that the water is hot and boiled. Bah, what bullshits, you know that the boiled frog is just a legend, and it doesn’t work in real life. But still, hey look, steam, the water must be boiling. Don’t be silly, it doesn’t require water to boil to have steam. The water molecules just need to achieve enough energy to break free of the covalent bonds. Wait you mean Van der Waals forces. Mrs Shanti will kill you if you say its covalent bonds. Its the Van der Waals forces that are the forces in between molecules, that the water molecules have to break free from. No, its the hydrogen bond that water has to break free from to create steam. Don’t be silly… hydrogen bonds are only in acids, remember HCl. Hey, shouldn’t you turn off the water? You’re getting boiled and the water is going to overflow from the bath tub soon. Okay, turning off water now. Lie back. Relax. Clear your mind, Chewxy. Oh yea, remember to shave or else Silkrose will be unhappy about your moustache tonight. I think I should lose weight. So why didn’t you go to gym this morning?

There you go.. my stream of thought while my bath tub filled this morning. Of course, I went on to pondering other things like getting Pressyo more customers, and my business policy exams.

Also, I should sleep more.

I was busy doing my assignment yesterday. My MSN status message read: Disturb me and feel my wrath - You can choose which to receive: the sacrifice of your firstborn; flaming columns from the sky; or get turned into pillar of salt.

And yet, people still wanted to chat with me on MSN. I mean, I don’t mind the regulars (cfgt, silkrose, ruben, zybler), but wtf… that message was like an invitation to chat. But soon, late in the day, cfgt finally messaged me on MSN. Our chat log looks like this:

cfgt says:
*kacau kacau* [in English: disturb disturb]

Chewxy says:
and the random number generator has determined the wrath thou shalt receiveth!

Chewxy says:
it’s 3!!!

cfgt says:
lol

Chewxy says:
Locusts to your crops!

Of course, cfgt wasn’t disturbing me much. But I got so tickled by the idea that a person’s wrath can be randomly generated. So I fired up Python and made a damn simple wrath generator. Each time a person would disturb me on MSN, they’d get a response from the wrath generator (which oddly made them talk more -___-) Continue Reading »

I’m down with a cold now, and doing my assignments. So while I was watery-eyed and blowing my nose, my housemate admonished me for being such a tree killer. Instead, he said, I should use a handkerchief. Now, blowing snot on a piece of cloth and putting it back into your pocket is a very gross thing to me. But I was thinking, what other gross things you can do with a handkerchief?

I found a site that lists the uses of a handkerchief, and here is my list, ordered by grossness levels, when putting it back in your pocket:

1. Anything from mopping up a non-sticky, non-icky non-floor surface - as long as it doesn’t stick to the hanky
2. Tears
3. Chloroform (when using it to kidnap other people)
4. Own sweat
5. Saliva (possible sources could be because the hanky has been used as a gag - hey, read the site yourself!)
6. Own blood
7. Food and drinks (from mopping up)
8. Other people’s food and drinks (from mopping up)
9. Any food and drinks mopped up from the floor
10. Anything else from the floor
11. Other people’s blood
12. Other people’s sweat
13. Own snot
14. Other people’s snot
15. Anyone’s semen or vaginal secretions

For me, I’ll stick to using tissue paper.

I’m not one for memes, but I need to keep up my blogging habits. And since I’m too busy to actually think up new comments, I shall just copy something from my sister’s blog and post it here… Continue Reading »
