a guide to remember those darn things the teachers make us squeeze into our grey brain cells:
1. to remember partial fraction, just remember - well - me. it's LIATE to determine 'u'.
2. to chance upon my urbane crush follows a poisson distribution. it's rare and random. (jincheng would rather remember it as 'croissant' distribution. relating food to work is prevalent from food-gorging singaporeans.)
3. to feel the presence of my smiley ex-crush in college follows a binomial distribution. it's repeated day after day.
4. with point 3 in mind, it is true that n>50. since n is big, the binomial distribution can be approximated to a normal distribution by CLT. just remember that you would so love to press 'CLT + ALT + DEL' to erase those yucky redundant information you are fed everyday.
5. irritating teachers are lipids. they are unwanted and cause us to put on weight, leading to health hazards like blocking of our arteries.
6. students are like polar molecules, with electronegative elements to attract all fun stuffs (which are polar) to themselves. 'like attracts like'.
7. lipids (irritating teachers) are non-polar. we are polar. hence we are unable to form hydrogen bonds (unable to click) and are thus immiscible.
8. placing two electrons in a single orbital makes the ionisation energy lower due to inter-electronic repulsion. in this case, opposites attract. it's like putting two boys in a room. since there is no attraction between them, it's easy to make them leave the room. but if it's a lady in the room, lustful guys take forever to leave.
9. in the theory of evolution, the darwin finches evolve from the same species to finches with different beaks so as to adapt to a certain niche. why is it that teachers can't evolve into nicer humans whom we can approach? this shows that darwin's theory is not always applicable. if so, why are we learning them? my suggestion is 'don't study biology!'
10. active transport is one of the main ways cells obtain ions, for example through the sodium-potassium pump. energy is required as the ions are moving against the concentration gradient. then why is it that biology facts cannot enter our brains easily since it is more concentrated in our notes as compared to our brains? and why do these information leak out of our brains so easily? this seconds to my anti-biology theory.

it's been a dream i always had,
for the longest time i ever remembered.
patience was the advise from my dad,
then finally my prayers are answered.
in roughly four months or so,
this fantasy will become a reality.
the beautiful green fields where seeds are sown,
and the ancient architectural wonders that spell all mighty.
the arcades for shopping along the river banks,
and the boat trips that are oh so romantic.
this is going to give life an awesome spank,
and truly enrich this dilettante fanatic.

1. priyaa caught drep looking over, which made him turn away very quickly, and guiltily. i tried staring at the lower half of his body, so as to antagonise him. but sadly, he wasn't. i must work harder on this.
2. a middle-aged, blonde-hair chinese man came over to me while i was waiting impatiently for my bus at orchard. our conversation went somewhat like this:
man: do you know that you look very fierce? are you angry with your boyfriend or something?
me (puzzled and amused): no?!?! (i was thinking, 'when the hell did i have a boyfriend?')
the man then rattled on and told me about his life story. and then finally, my bus came and...
man: my name's eric. this is my number. call me.
me (even more puzzled and shocked): ...
3. a lesbian couple on the bus i boarded openly showed affection. yuck!

ms wong enlightened us that the biological term for layman's 'water bag' is amniotic fluid. the foetus is able to move about in this fluid. this led to an intelligent exclamation from siti: we are all born swimmers!
i abhor biology. i still remember what ms jillian lee, my favourite teacher who tutors my favourite subject - gp, taught us today. when tackling the vocabulary section of the gp comprehension, the degree of the word must be noted. in this case, 'abhor' is a more extreme degree compared to 'dislike'. that explains my great animosity towards biology. i find myself sitting through tutorials, not knowing a single thing ms wong is rambling. she seems to be speaking some language i cannot comprehend. therefore i conclude that one mustn't do biology if one doesn't want to:
1. pay a fortune for a whole stack of redundant notes
2. waste brain space remembering stupid names like 'corona radiata' and the like
3. think through the whole microbiological process during copulation
4. be a stupid teacher who always pms-es
happy birthday daddy! it was his birthday yesterday! i love dad.
