Procrastinating

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. When will I really focus on studying after so many tomorrows? Oh when there's an exam tomorrow.

Procrastinators -- The leaders of tomorrow.
Procrastinators UNITE... tomorrow.

The cactus

This story has to be traced back to a rainy day in the year 1997. A teacher gave a "bulb" of cactus as a hallux (thumb toe) to a few of her Standard One students. There was this one boy, who, is writing this passage now, was a recipient.

He started by planting the cactus in a small plastic vase. He took care of the plant pretty well (well, you can leave a cactus without much care for days and it won't die on you anyway). The cactus kept growing normally and it got a new home when it had the size of a child's fist.


Eventually, the cactus started budding more little cacti. Those little cacti repeated and continued the process of growth and budding like the old cactus experienced. At that time the irresponsible boy who started this had already succumbed to the games that made him what is him today. And so his loving mother took over the "custody" of the cacti.

Over time, the cacti grew so much that the boy couldn't recognize it. The once considerable big pot that housed the cacti couldn't support them anymore. It was too late to shift them into a bigger pot or the open land outside the house, but perhaps it might be a blessing in disguise as otherwise a land overgrown with cacti would be expected.


And now, it seems that this boy has a new hobby. The 'girls' he brought back (bought) seem to enjoy their time at the garden of the house managed by the mother. There is this girl named Azunyan who seems to like the cacti a lot.

Tickle tickle~ nya~! ♥

Will this place completely become their playground and live happily ever after? Well, who knows?

A-Level vs STPM

It is known that A-Level students will take both AS- and A2-Level exams for 3 or 4 subjects to finish their course, assuming no drop-outs in between. Hence,

A-Level = AS-Level exam + A2-Level exam

I was told that both exams are independent to each other (i.e. AS = AS and A2 = A2, and hence AS-Level = AS topics and A2-Level = A2 topics). But the truth is that A2-Level actually still requires us to remember the AS topics (i.e. A2-Level = AS and A2 topics). Assuming a quarter of the AS topics are interrelated with A2 topics,

A-Level = AS topics + (1/4 AS topics + A2 topics)
= 5/4 AS topics + A2 topics

Students have to study more on AS topics as normal humans tend to forget things. And then the error (careless mistakes by students, marking mistakes by examiners, errors in machines scanning OMR sheets, LUCK, etc) is given by:

Δ A-Level = 5/4(Δ AS topics) + Δ A2 topics, Δ A-Level > 0 (1)

On the other hand, it is known that Form 6 students will take only STPM. Hence,

Form 6 = STPM, and similarly
Δ Form 6 = Δ STPM

Assuming both courses are of similar course structures, STPM = AS + A2.

Form 6 = AS topics + A2 topics, and
Δ Form 6 = Δ AS topics + Δ A2 topics, Δ Form 6 > 0 (2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2), Δ A-Level > Δ Form 6.

Taking all fees that are involved into account, P for A-Level >> P for Form 6. I (my dad) am paying more to study A-Level which has higher uncertainty than STPM.

Conclusion: I dah kena con :(

(You may not take this seriously as I just simply bullshitted everything)

Dead

Well.. A dead blog sure is dead.. don't know what more to do with it now.

Too few incentive to make this blog a decent place.
