Im DEAD.

Seriously. Why?

Reasons:
1) I have an econs test tomorrow.
2) We're tested from chapter 6 to 10
3) I have never even started reading chapter 10 once before.
4) Im still at chap 7
5) I studied chap 5 yesterday thinking it was tested
6) Not only do I have an Econs test tomorrow, I also have a maths test
7) We are tested on Vectors.
8) I cant recall a single freaking shit about vector. Whatever dot product cross product I just dont know!
9) We are also tested on bionom, poisson as well as normal distribution.
10) I haven started studying for a single maths chap tested.
11) Finally, IM STILL WASTING MY TIME HERE BLOGGING!!!

Dumb right. Unfortunately, I've recently discovered a terrible new trait that has evolved from me over time. STM! So I'm afraid that if I don't put all these memories into words right now, the past few day's happenings will just roll around from me like a penny. Or a coin.

(PS: Just in case there are people who are not good at short forms, STM means Short Term Memory)

Bridge is becoming a more and more frequent part of my life. For the past 2 days consecutively I've been playing it. And the good thing is, Im not the only one addicted to it! Addiction is DA BEST when shared with a couple of good ol friends! The more I play it, the more I see the link it has to real life. Or rather, the difference it has from real life.

For example, in bridge you can sort of guess what the person is thinking from the cards they throw and whether they help you or not. But in real life, its just not possible. Humans are so bloody complicated, what they do may not have any indication of what they think at all. I should know that pretty well. Sometimes that act of nonchalance just appears as a shield even though I really do want to care about things in general. But its that fear that caring would hurt yourself more that I just decided to build up a wall around myself. Let selective people in.

Its like a selectively permeable membrane. Except that its not true that I let in all those who I want to let in. Some people, no matter how much I want them to diffuse through that membrane, I just cant seem to let them through. Cant seem to have the courage to. Then again, I've read somewhere that "walls are built not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break through the wall". Oh wells. Those who care, you're welcome to break through this semi-permeable membrane!

I've finally understood that not all sayings are true. Surely, after yesterday's encounter, Im positive that the grass on the other side is NOT necessarily greener. Went with the whole GC group to the humanities symposium at VJ yesterday. I was expecting to be led into a super nice conference room, with air condition on at FULL BLAST. So being ks and all, I even brought along a jacket.

Turns out that me and my jacket are not meant to be. I'd just die if I actually put on my jacket. You see, instead of whatever I've been dreaming of, they brought us to this small LT which was so horribly stuffy. At first I thought that the air con was not switched on. So never mind, when they turn it on, it'll start to get freezing cold and me and my jacket would be reunited once again. So much for my imagination.

After a long long time, the air was still warm, stuffy. And when they finally brought in standing fans, I just knew that the air con has probably died. So my love for my jacket died as well. After vigorously fanning myself with the booklet they provided, we all decided that enough was enough! If they treat us guests like that(make us sweat like cows), it would be justified for us to leave at break. And so we left. Good decision I must say. Although its not as if we had a plethora of choices anyway. There were only two.

1) Stay in the incinerator-like LT and get myself toasted til golden brown(I wouldnt mind the tan though)

2) Leave the terribly hot place for a gasp of cool air as well as catch a nice air conditioned bus home.

Guess what we chose? Zero points for the correct answer-Its so damn obvious. Pack our bags and leave of course!

Oh wells, at least NJ will never torture guests like that. They torture us, Im sure, but we're their students and there is nothing we can do about it. But hey, we come all the way across the Singapore island to this remote area of VJ lugging our bags along and they just chuck us in this warm and stuffy LT like that? Oh wells, I really have no idea what to say about their hosting skills.

Alright so as to ensure that my blogging time has been at least a little productive, Im going to spam econs knowledge here. Im now at the topic of Inflation, which means a sustained and inordinate rise in the general level of price. And there are two types of causes for Inflation, demand-pull and cost push inflation. For dd-pull, its like for example my mom brings home a chicken pie. Its the maximum number that she can buy already, with the amount of money she has(You can infer that she is poor. Either that or she spent her money on something else! Tsk Tsk)

Anyway, that means the economy is at full employment. So both me and my sister are hungry and we want to eat it. My mom decides to sell it to us. Since there are two of us demanding for one curry puff, or did I say chicken pie? Yeah, so my mom decides to jack up the price. Instead of selling it to us at $1 she decides to sell at $20 so that she can have the money to buy a new handbag.

And there goes the concept--->dd increases but SS is unable to increase further so there is a shortage of goods available to meet the demands, so general price level increases so that only those are are willing and able to purchase the goods can buy it.

Alternatively though, both me and my sister can buy the chicken pie or curry puff for $1 and then divide it between the two of us to share. Each one pay $0.50. As the 881 song goes, "Each person one half, relationships won't sour", so me and my sis shall simply share the chicken pie and nobody needs to care about inflation anyway.

See? Why make things so complicated? Sharing makes the world go round. Sharing makes Inflation go down!

And goodness gracious me! As Im here talking about all these nonsense, an entire hour has just flown by! Gotta cram 4 chaps of econs into my brain in 2 hours! And not to forget 3 Chapters of maths! I can just forget about sleeping tonight.

OFF

Our Promise (:
