i find science forums are quite hopeless... there are too many people who don't know the facts yet argue their cases with all the time they have spent on this planet... the people who know their stuff are sick of arguing with them... newbie to the forum think that those who are wrong are right... the correct one tries to stop them but the wrong one would engage in personal attacks to draw the new ppl to their side. the correct one is so pissed that he leaves, leading the newbies to think that he is wrong...

So, everyone. Forums are the WORST source of information. if you want to progress in life, get books that your teachers recommend. they are recommended for a very good reason. and they are certainly worth the cost. C'mon, you get what you pay for. Study from a forum and you'll be wasting the time of your life.
updates:

RI got grand slam in NUS physics open house competition. Sent 2 quiz teams and 1 projectile team. Got 1st and 2nd in quiz and 1st in projectile... w00t.

I got into NSC. hurray. more mugging. but i get to go on tv. The stuff there seems more fun and creative than other science challenges, but a crucial element of luck required. questions are... weird.

This quote teaches us its easier to gain an upper hand when u catch ppl by surprise. Dunno how to apply it in life though.

Quote:
"All under heaven see beauty as beauty only because they also see ugliness.
All announce that good is good only because they also denounce what is bad.

Therefore, something and nothing give birth to one another.
Difficult and easy complete one another.
Long and short fashion one another.
High and low arise from one another.
Notes and tones harmonize with one another.
Front and back follow one another.

Thus, the True Person acts without striving and teaches without words.

Deny nothing to the ten thousand things.

Nourish them without claiming authority,
Benefit them without demanding gratitude,
Do the work, then move on.

And, the fruits of your labour will last forever." - Verse 2, Tao Te Ching by Lao Zi.
Reality
Your wise quote is: "Reality bites with a
variety of sizes of teeth"(-Tony Follari)
As a person, you think life is just plain
painful, horrible and everything else you don't
like. Happy people confuse you. Alot. I mean,
why are they so happy anyway? You are depressed
and perhaps utterly alone and live life rather
montone. You feel there is no reason to really
be here and feel helpless.

some dude at the bishan mrt thought that my suspicious-looking bag was a bomb or sth. i was helping ali carry his metallic water bottle (which read: "fuel bottle" with a corrosive, flammable danger signs on it) inside, then i decided to go to the toilet, leaving the bag at a very inconspicious corner. When i came out, it was gone. after a short while we checked with the station control centre and they told me that an auntie brought it to them thinking it was a bomb or sth.

"May we have your attention please. Please do not leave your belongings unattended. If you see any suspicious articles, please inform our staff or call 999."

hmm. i thought posters at the mrt station said that if you see any suspicious articles, DO NOT TOUCH IT. keep people away from it and inform the staff immediately, or call the police.

nvm. i thank the cleaner auntie for being vigilant. now i feel safer in the bishan mrt station knowing that there is such an observant auntie. i'm serious.

Alas! I have found the ultimate truth of the universe! And I shall share my insight with all you guys!


A = B


Hah! No one can disprove it!

I also hereby disallow people to redefine A or B, in methods such as A!= C, C = B. This is plain wrong, because i have already defined A=B, and it is always true, so that claim must therefore be false!

Everything else is uncertain! Only A=B is the ultimate truth! Live your life to the fullest with A=B, and you'll always be on the right track!
