The following are some of the thoughts that I have been thinking about for the past few days. It concerns the analysis of forces. A lot of people look at the equations of gravitation and equations of motion and see nothing extraordinary about them. More often than once, we equate both equation and go on to solve without thinking what is actually happening.

Firstly, the equation of motion F=ma. From this equation we see a cause and effect relationship. A force is a cause. What does it cause? It causes a object of mass m to accelerate.

Next, we look at the equation of gravitation. F= GMm/r^2. Looky, looky, what do we have here? Now, the cause is 2 objects of masses M and m respectively. And the effect? Why, yes, the force F.

So we see, 2 equations, different causes and effects. Aha, when we equation the 2 equations to solve for acceleration, we are actually linking 2 cause-effect chains. Masses cause a gravitational force, which in turn cause another mass to accelerate.

There might be a question now, for the gravaitational equation. What if Mass isn't a cause? But an effect? Ooo, unthinkable consequences. Gravitational forces generate mass? Worth furthur thoughts perhaps.

Obsessiveness.. Funny how love closely models the other emotion..that of, insanity. That's the defining mark in humans i suppose.

Here I am to blog again, not because I have blogged yesterday before, but because I am just bored. Was just thinking about the class affairs. Is it for better or for worse? Hard to tell. After a year, I would say its better and its still bad. Better because I think there is better mixing between cliques. Still bad because I am just like starting to get to know some of the people better. Eh like tianju rightly puts in a lightly amused manner, "Is this a get-to-know-me session?", I find even after 1 year, I hardly know much about the newcomers.

Oh, lets not talk about the fact I already know the RVians in the class pretty well. Knew 3 of them since Sec2, knew 2 of them since Sec 3, knew 1 of them because she's in the same cca as my bro. But overall, almost all rvians have the pretty the same 'cultures'. Influence from rv I suppose. In that respect, I know them better than frens from other sec. sch.

Haha, perhaps it is fate that the class was endowed with clumps of people with differing mindsets and interests. Naturally, cliques and 'gangs' of differing interests appear. And perhaps its due to high concentration of rvians in the class, that the class guys and girls are largely immiscible. They dont mix that well together. So much so, that even the CIP trainer can tell that there is a very obvious gender segregation in the class.

I suppose our class is slightly better off because there are still people who are actively trying the pull the class together. These people have never given up hope that the class might be strongly united one day. Perhaps we are trying to do this so hard is because we have experienced an alike situation, and do not want it to happen again. Obviously, united-ness can only be achieved when all participate. Its like a collection of molecules in solid state; every molecule participates in exerting a strong intermolecular force on all its neighbours. A few guys trying to pull everyone else together can only act like a catalyst. Facilitate but cannot take the place of the intermolecular bind.

One more year to go I suppose. I dunno whether I am sad or happy for this.

Looks like everyone is spending excessive times at home being bored, stoning or just plain staring-into-space. At least YH isnt, he is spending every day outside, 24hrs almost.

So, my turn to spam my own blog. My spend my waking hours nowadays, in such a manner. Wake up at 9, eat breakfast, stone my way till 2.30pm, eat lunch, play Dota till 8.30pm, eat dinner, watch DVDs till 11pm then sleep. And so I have been spending my days as such.

....Any one fancy going out say for bball or soccer or badminton during one of these weeks? sian..

Haha, its been so long ever since the last time I have updated my blog.. PW is finally over..nothing between me and relaxing anymore, at least not for another month or so.

Class chalet was held during Nov 1-3. Some wondered whethered it was a flop. In my experience, all chalets are almost like that, mostly spontaneous stuff, on-the-spur of the moment. Instead thinking of the result, what the chalet has achieved, think instead of the process. After its all about company, and I think i enjoyed the company of friends during that period, and that in itself is more important than what the chalet has achieved(practically nothing).

Immortals are boring creatures, because with a snap of the fingers they can achieve anything they want. Therefore, they alone understand truly how important the process of doing things, over the result. Contrary to what we think, immortals envy us in this aspect. I suppose sitting in the clouds day after day just brooding about philosophy and twiddling your thumbs is an extremely boring prospect. It is funny how mortals yearn to be immortals, and immortals yearn to be mortals.

Knowledge, in the respect, is like immortality. You are curious, and therefore you hunger for knowledge. After achieving that knowledge, you realise that having knowledge is not any better than those innocent blissful people.. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

Dota-ing now, signing off till then.
