LAUGH. OF. THE. CENTURY.

OH MY GOSH. A MUST WATCH. ABSOLUTELY.

I just died from all the laughing. Watch it!! No matter what!

Event: LABOUR DAY

NO ONE WORKS

Believe it or not, there's just no time to!

Would you believe that everyone spends the whole year lolling around in idleness?? Here's the proof!

Every year has - 365 days

If you sleep 8 hours a day, (122 days)

this leaves - 243 days

If you rest 8 hours a day, (122 days)

this leaves - 121 days

You certainly don't work on Sundays, (52 days)

this leaves - 69 days

And everyone takes half-day on Saturdays, (26 days)

this leaves - 43 days

If you take 1 1/2 hours off for meals, (28 days)

this leaves - 15 days

Everybody must have 2 weeks' vacation, (14 days)

this leaves - 1 day

This one day is Labour Day, when simply NOBODY works,

so you can see that you have left for work, 0 days!!

Money Reprinting: BY HAND

I just read Julia's post on the motivational talk we had on Monday and felt motivated to post this myself! xD And yes, this is ONLY going to be about the money-reprinting-by-hand activity we had.

WARNING/DISCLAIMER:

Before you stun yourself with my wonderful artistic talents, kindly remember that -

1) these pictures were drawn solely from memory;

2) NOT EVERYBODY HAS PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY, hence the quality of drawings #1 and #2;

3) even though some people MIGHT have photographic memory, not everybody has the skill to transfer the image from the mind perfectly onto a blank sheet of paper!; and

4) the chan-ness of drawings #1 and #2 were further enhanced by the blog owner's extraordinary photography skills (They're actually not all that bad, if I must say so myself!)

Now here we go xD

THE ORIGINAL COPY:

Now take a GOOD look . . .

And brace yourself, as I put forward the two

most horrifying images mankind has ever seen!

ATTEMPT 1:

Well, well! Would you just look at that!

Now let's make comparisons to the original. Here's the report on it.

Description:

Hand-drawn by - NG XING YII

Solely from - MEMORY
How they compare: #1

1. Zeti Aziz-something's face - I wouldn't say it bears much resemblance to the one in the original copy, but a good job done nonetheless! Marks: 4/5
2. Code at the side of note - Wonderfully and intricately written in 2B pencil lead, and clearly a significant amount of thought has been given to where its placing should be. Bravo to creative code given. Marks: 5/5

3. Shiny barcode thingies - A severe mistake here - it should be at the back; but nothing shall be deducted as it only serves to prove that IT IS HUMAN TO ERR. Marks: N/A

4. Somebody's signature - So beautiful in capturing its every essence (whatever that means). However, signature curves should be finer and more pronounced. A good try. Marks: 3/5

5. The number 'ONE' - Not done by artist herself. In fact, this was done with the aid of another renowned artist - Tricia Yeoh. An amazing discovery in the world of art. Marks: 5/5

6. Unidentified Scribble Object (USO) - I'm afraid no living person has ever managed to decipher this part of the drawing. It is simply too abstract for the human mind to comprehend. Marks: 4/5

7. A single heart - This must be, without a doubt, added by the artist as an afterthought to send her love to a secret lover. It was believed that in 1819 . . . [text lost halfway in the complicated process of publishing]

How they compare: #2

1. Traditional kite - Or more widely-known as the wau, this piece of art certainly puts a WOW in my larynx/tongue (whatever the speaking mechanism is made up of). Note: To some inexperienced people, it may appear as a cowboy in a hat or even very suspiciously as a pacifier. Be assured that, however, it is neither. Marks: 4/5

2. Mountains - They're so hot and fiery I feel on fire just looking at them. Certainly, it may be a little too hot, but it's fine just the same. Marks: 4/5

OVERALL:

A fine artist showing very promising talent. Be sure to ask for an autograph to sell for 10 000 000$ in the future!!

Okay that was just for laughs! xD

Now here's the real deal. Wipe that smile of your face

because this is getting serious.

ATTEMPT 2:

Description:
Hand-drawn by - OOI PHAIK CHERN

Solely from - the MEMORIES OF THE ELITE FOUR (namely Lee Huey Fern, Jolene Ng, Tricia Yeoh, and the artist herself), Ng Xing Yii, Tan Ee Vern, and African guest-star Cherylene A. Bruyns

Okay, let's face it. This was the result of the memories of the greatest minds combined. And the artwork of a very brilliant artist. Naturally, we expect this to be a perfect, flawless, mistake-less hand-reprint that we can even use to bluff Pak Cik Din with. (And trust me, he isn't an easy one to con - I KNOW.) Therefore, there will be NO NEED for an ego-boost. Definition of ego-boost: Where something is so pathetic you need something else to boost the ego of its creator.

Now, don't we all just love being eccentric!

Signing off,

Artist of the Century

Chemistry and Enthusiasm: Do they go together?

Halfway throught Chemistry tuition today, this amusing idea came to my mind. It's something I'd really like to try, just for kicks, but . . . Anyway, here's it.

Below is a part of the Chem structural paper. But that's not the point. Just take a look:

- Name the type of reaction that occurs.

Precipitation.

- Is the reaction a redox reaction? Explain your answer.

No, there is no transfer of electrons involved.

Now, let's . . . spice it up a little bit and see what happens. xD

- Name the type of reaction that occurs.

Precipitation!!!

- Is the reaction a redox reaction? Explain your answer.

NEVER! There is absolutely no transfer of electrons involved. Not ONE, not a SINGLE electron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hah! How's THAT for an answer?? Technically, the answers aren't wrong. Neither do they contain grammatical mistakes. So do you

1) get extra marks for showing such enthusiasm, or

2) get your marks deducted for simply being cheeky, OR

3) get the same marks, but the teacher finds it so amusing he/she shares it with the class for a good laugh!

So that brings us back to the question -

Chemistry and Enthusiasm: Do they go together?

I absolutely do not know, but I wouldn't dare to try it during Mid-Year le. If you ever do try, tell me! =P

ALERT!!

. . . !!!

What's that?, you ask. Well, let me tell you. It is a mole!

A FOOT mole, if I might say. That has appeared mysteriously out of nowhere! When I initially noticed it (Oh, I just had a compulsive deisre to take a peek at my foot, didn't I?) I thought, "Say, isn't that just adorable!" And all of half a second later I remembered a wise old saying I once heard (or read): Moles that change colour/appear out of the blue could be a sign of skin cancer.

Ho! Is that it then? SKIN FOOT CANCER. The end of my petty existence! Or perhaps just my foot. It's one or the other! I shall have to amputate it. This means I could have 3 feet. Wait, that's not right. Two minus one is . . . oh, ONE!

However, I'd like to think it's neither. I'd like to keep the original number of all my feet. For now, I'll just go on blissfully and write another post about . . . something less sinister! =)
