I despise the pleasure of pleasing people that I despise.

A little intelligence test for you - no cheating. Some of these questions are from an MBA entrance test. There are 10 questions. Do not look at the answers found at the end of this document, that would be cheating. Write each of your answers down, it makes a difference. Good Luck!

1. Some months have 30 days, some months have 31 days. How many months have 28 days?
2. If a doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one pill every half hour, how long would it be before all the pills had been taken?
3. I went to bed at eight 8 ‘clock in the evening and wound up my clock and set the alarm to sound at nine 9 ‘clock in the morning. How many hours sleep would I get before being awoken by the alarm?
4. Divide 30 by half and add ten. What do you get?
5. A farmer had 17 sheep. All but 9 died. How many live sheep were left?
6. If you had only one match and entered a COLD and DARK room, where there was an oil heater, an oil lamp and a candle, which would you light first?
7. A man builds a house with four sides of rectangular construction, each side having a southern exposure. A big bear comes along. What color is the bear?
8. Take 2 apples from 3 apples. What do you have?
9. How many animals of each species did Moses take with him in the Ark?
10. If you drove a bus with 43 people on board from Chicago and stopped at Pittsburgh to pick up 7 more people and drop off 5 passengers and at Cleveland to drop off 8 passengers and pick up 4 more and eventually arrive at Philadelphia 20 hours later, What’s the name of the driver?

So why don’t you grab your pen and paper and write down your answers. I will be posting the answers as a comment to avoid cheating!

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

Everything seems to be turning out like an outer mess. Focus ran away with patience, discipline dumped distractions and now it’s bugging me. well you get the idea. The more emphasis I place in saving my Chemistry, the more demoralized I feel. If there is anything we can ever blame as the handiwork of satan himself, it has to be chemistry. Something so complex was never meant to be understood by man. That’s it. I’ve come to the conclusion for today that anyone who places emphasis in chemistry and understands its workings is one with Satan. I’m Muslim and worship no such evil!

Anyway, yesterday I saw the old rojak man again. The one who sells rojak from the back of his bicycle like the karangoni man and ice cream man now do. He was sitting on the pavement next to his bicycle quitely enjoying his homemade lunch occasionally shouting and beeping his horn in between bites. He’s old and its  utterly amazing how he can cycle the heavy load attached to his bicycle by himself. I guess you have no choice when you need to make a living. If it’s thought me anything, it’s to be thankful for what I have. To be thankful that I don;t have to worry about money, to be thankful for my parents, the live I lead, the friends I have and well… that I still have about 2 weeks to change my future for the better.

I will not not hear about the lack of time we not have. Let’s face it. If you never have the time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it again? If I go down, I go down with no regrets.

Was supposed to post about graduation day too but the sever hates me today too and it won’t let me post pictures. So no pictures. In short, the girls were awesome, the friends better and the memories priceless. 

Would also like to thank Hwee MIng, Hwee Sze, Ivan, Alvin, Joel and the rest for prank calling and smsing me the entire day (even while I was at tuition). even hangging up/switching off my phone didn’t work. Thanks. Anyway more information on it available on Shan Li’s blog (and probably the other soon… I’m just too lazy to go into the details right now).

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it’s only a hundred billion. It’s less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
