Here's an interesting thought. If you put two of the same type of words together, sometimes, instead of adding extra emphasis, you change the meaning completely. Take for example the word "giant". Gigantically giant would just mean that something is really, really big. But what about the word "pathetic"? Something that is pathetically pathetic would be so pathetic at being pathetic that that thing is no longer pathetic to a large extent (that's what the aim of putting two similar words together; adds emphasis, hyperbole, whatever). Interesting, right? So if I say my work is pathetically pathetic does that mean I'm a show off? Ok, well, probably the above musing is utter rubbish. Pathetically pathetic could also mean that something is pathetic to the extent that it is pathetic. Confused? Haha.
Anyway, I couldn't think of much to talk about besides lots and lots of rants, which is something I don't feel like doing at this point of time. Hence, I decided to post a portion of my utterly random poem which I'm supposed to slam during english.
Ouch. Haha. I hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly.
Um it's supposed to be based on an emotion (try and guess, it's easy), but I thought I'd have a little fun.

The carpenter was busy making furniture
When suddenly, the toolbox dropped
From the table onto his foot.
Argh, screw it.
The teacher was desperately teaching a class
Of rowdy, noisy, hyperactive young boys.
Repeat after me.. A, B, C, D, E...
Eh, can you people shut the F up or not.

I bet you all know what emotion that is. It's the feeling of experiencing life to the fullest isn't it? Heh. Anyway. still no response from SAFRA (I guess the Conveynor must be like some really old guy who checks his email once a month :P), so I shall wait, lala. I also tried to install maple because I was really bored and wanted to escape from reality big time. However, there was some major conflict between the tablet pc and it's multiple antiviruses, and the increasingly gimmicky Wizet game client, hence I am here posting this.
Ok, I saw this really nice adidas bag which is black and blue, but DO NOT PANIC. Adding amylase can reverse this and turn the black nice and iodine-yellow once more through the digestion of starch. Bio test is coming up in week 8! Haha I don't want to get anything close to Paul's mark (shan't disclose), so I'm working extra extra hard, lest I get 30 again, like this CCT that just past.
Maths is easy too.
Lets play the circle formula game.
Find the radius and center of a circle given the formula
x2 + y2 +4x + 8y + 3 = 0
k here goes.
rearrange terms to form: x2 + 4x + y2 + 8y + 3 = 0
complete the square for x and y: [x2 + 4x + (2)2 - (2)2 ] + [y2 + 8y + (42) - (42)] + 3 = 0
complete completing the square: (x+ 2)2 + (y+ 4)2 - 4 - 16 + 3 = 0
calculate the remaining stuff outside brackets to make it look like formula (x - a)2 + (y-b)2 = r2
continuing.. (x +2)2 + (y + 4)2 - 17 = 0
blah blah.... (x + 2)2 + (y + 4)2 = 17
now.
the radius of that really strange circle is sqrt 17
and the center of the circle is (-2, -4)
IS THAT CORRECT? Maths geniuses please come and correct me asap lest i learn the wrong thing for TA nex week!
