Happy Merdeka everyone!!
Woke up quite early today. Around 7.30. Had nothing to do so turned on the TV and watched the Merdeka Parade. That is, until I got sick of hearing every song at least 3 times. Talk about being patriotic. Got a glimpse of our IB people playing the seasons drums. They looked so sad like they didn't want to be there. Can't blame them though. But the Merdeka parade was quite funny to watch. Like when they play this year's them "Malaysiaku Gemilang" the people who were actually standing in the shape of our flag would run to make a new logo. And I think they played like 10 different songs? So the people were always running around. The thing was so long winded so changed channels. Didn't watch Porpor's cultural dance though. Was going to point and laugh but oh well.
Class test 4 is killing me. All my class tests this week with the exception of Add Maths got postphoned to next week. Which means I have 8 TESTS next week. Missed out on last night's fireworks and countdown and the 1U outing today as mum says have to study for class tests. Am hoping will be allowed to go for jazz fest tomorrow night though.
Here's a little something that I found on Rachel's blog that is very interesting.
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington
chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it
with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have
the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
(absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas
cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we
need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at
which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul
gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how
many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist
in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion,
you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and
since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that
all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect
the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the
rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in
order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the
volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell
breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,
then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman
year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take
into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two
must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already
frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over,
it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine
being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
The student got an A.
