Hell.

Sorry for deserting my blog for quite some time as I'm busy preparing for my Mid-course Examinations. The blog will be quite inactive until the exams are over, which is on 31st of March. I hope I can survive in these few HELLISH weeks. Urgh!

Speaking of the word 'HELL', I got an interesting article to share:

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington Engineering Mid-term. The answer was so profound that the Professor shared it with colleagues, and the sharing obviously hasn't ceased...

Bonus Question: Is HELL exothermic (gives off heat) or Endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote Proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let us look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you.", and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze."

This student received the only A.

SLD Camp.

I'm so freaking exhausted. Both physically and mentally. Mid course examination is just around the corner and yet I am still fooling around at the college, busy with society's work, chit-chatting with friends, playing basketball, and online gaming. Everyday I just rather go to the facebook than to face the books. =(

I do study ocassionally but I certainly know that I do not study hard and smart enough. I just roughly go through the notes without actually understand the theories and formulas. Time is running out and I have not started to work on my tutorials and past year papers. Anxienty, fear and stress have begun to set in.

Anyway, I'm off to Student Leadership Development Camp (SLDC) tomorrow. I got a mixed feeling about this. Should I feel relax because I can take this opportunity to release stress? Should I feel excited about making new friends and the interesting activities they are having? Should I feel unhappy that I lose three days for academic stuff? Hmmm...

No offence to this SDL camp but I find that the picture below is unbearably hilarious.

What does SLDC here stands for?

Anyway, hope to have a blast in this camp. I shall switch from hyperactive mode to nerdy mode after the camp. LOL

Five Balls.

30-seconds speech by Bryan Dyson, the CEO of Coca-cola:

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME. GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST.
