Well, there are so much to write today.

Yesterday I showed the NCT paper to Mr Yeo and tell him about the capacitor question. He tell us something surprising. The paper standard is much higher than A level, it had some H3 question. Today something funny happened. Our timetable is changed without our knowledge. We suppose to have Physics lesson before History lecture. Some of us ended up not attending the lesson and had to arrange "make up lesson" tomorrow. During the break before Chemistry STAR we did something that could be considered retarded. Pikachu photo taking. Don't ask me why the hell we had a Pikachu here, the story will be damn long. I'll upload the photos if I had the time later. We tried to do the IJC paper. It was tough as hell....

See, even Pikachu does mug.

Brick Thieves Die Horribly as Building Collapses

A pair of ladies who had been stealing bricks from a building were mortally surprised when the building fell on top of them, killing them and crushing a further 13 as it toppled into a neighbouring restaurant.

The thieves, apparently a group of five farmers who had migrated into the city of Liuzhou in China’s southern Guangxi province, had turned to stealing bricks from a derelict building nearby, digging into its walls to extract the bricks for sale.

However, it appears that they stole one too many bricks, for the entire building suddenly collapsed, toppling onto a neighbouring restaurant and crushing 13 of its patrons horribly, though they escaped death.

The brick thieves were not so lucky – firemen picking through the rubble discovered the crushed remains of two women in what was once the building. What happened to the rest of the group is not clear.

NCT was #@%$^%

Honestly, I dunno how to describe this. The Physics paper stunned me. The worst MCQ paper ever. The capacitor question stunned me. It wasn't in our H2 Syllabus (please correct me if I'm wrong). The dynamics questions were not easy. Overall it was much harder than all the prelims and A Level questions I have tried. The Chemistry paper was much easier than I expected. There is a lot of mole concept question but little of organics, but there is something strange in the questions. All the question that involve molar volume make me cringe because there is no answer in the MCQ. Reverse engineering shows that instead of using 24 as molar volume, 24.4 should be deployed. What the... Overall it was "easy". Get what I mean?

BERSERK MODE ON!!!

Honestly I'm not fully prepared for the NCT yet and time is really drawing near. I have abandoned the statistics poster since no one in the group bother to do it. Meetings that had been carefully organized so that everyone could attend had went to the astray since some of us was incredibly busy with remedial that was decided at the last minute. The entry deadline is tomorrow, there is no way we can finish it.

My preparedness for NCT was really terrible now, I have not finish Physical Chemistry, let alone organics. For Physics I need to re-read some more complicated chapter like dynamics, EMI and Quantum. Condition for Physics should be better since I did some question from the prelims paper.

Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

~Speech given at Harrow School, Harrow, England, October 29, 1941. Quoted in Churchill by Himself: The Definitive Collection of Quotations, ed. Langworth, PublicAffairs, 2008, p. 23, ISBN 1586486381

A short Story

Once upon a time,there was a teacher who taught at a top-notch school,with top-notch students.
One day,while she was traveling,her carriage knocked down a young boy who just happened to pass by the road.The young boy looked ragged.He was dressed in rags,looked dirty,so much that no one would even look at him.When she got out of her carriage to survey the boy's situation,she saw that the ragged young boy was clutching a package,tightly wrapped in rags,as though bound by tight ropes,to his chest.The boy quickly recovered after falling,and was dusting himself with his spare hand when the teacher appeared.Alarmed by the fact that the boy was still able to stand up after being run over by a carriage,the teacher asked.'What was it that was so precious that you have to risk your life to protect it?'
The boy replied:'It is hope,Miss.When I was down and out,a person never gave up on me,even when the others have already long done so.I may not be rich,or smart,or even comparable to the rest of other people,but there is one thing.Within this bundle here is hope.As long as I continue to live,I will never let go of this hope,no matter what it takes.This is the hope that my teacher and some of my friends gave me.When everyone,myself included,thought that I would never make it,not now,not ever,my teacher and friends never gave up on me.They encouraged me,and supported me.At first,I thought that all their effort was useless,but it touched me.They saved me.Now,I will not disappoint them.I may disappoint others,but not them,and not my family.This bundle is this important.'
And with that reply,he went off,leaving behind the shocked teacher.

Kinda disturbing, but funny

Two Russian tourists paid a very high price for breaking the American law which bans sex with porcupines.

Staying in Florida on vacation, two Russians from Saint Petersburg decided to check whether they are able to circumvent such an unusual law or not.

Consequences appeared to be very sad. The poor fellows had to take needles from their genitals and treat inflammation for several months.

Having arrived in the USA, the Russians were given the book about the craziest American laws. For example, in Colombia sex - other than in a missionary position - is forbidden; in Kentucky it is forbidden to bring a lion to a movie theater; in Florida it is strictly forbidden to have sex with porcupines!

As it is known, forbidden fruit is always sweet, especially for Russians.

Doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center made the following diagnosis: 'needles of a porcupine in genitals'.

At first 32-year-old Anton and 30-year-old Eugenie had a good laugh at the senseless law written by local authorities. And then, after helping themselves with whisky, they decided to break this funny law.

“We came here to the USA to have fun!” said Anton and the two friends started their searches for the so called American "hedgehog". It took them less than an hour to find the animal.

With victorious shouts the drunken friends dropped their pants and started making unambiguous movements with their hips. Having sobered up the following morning the friends realized that they need medical help. So the animal-lovers had to go from the airport straight to hospital, Life.Ru reports.

Doctors of well-known medical center Cedars-Sinai diagnosed the case as ‘needles of a porcupine in genitals’.

“The most positive thing about the situation is that the Russian tourists did not have to stand trial in Florida. They left the state just in time,” said the doctors at the medical center.

Now American laws do not seem so funny to Anton and Eugenie. After returning to Moscow they had to get acquainted with Russian urologists: porcupine needles caused very strong inflammation.
