[[ PHYSICS

10:24 PM

for the past few days, i've been having these REALLY negative emotions about physics. i've even thought about dropping physics. but now i guess i'm okay. nobody can help me pull myself together. so i should just stop hoping that a miracle will happen. it's up to me to focus and buck up. now.

i took english literature in sec 3 and 4. believe me, it's fun! sometimes it gets ULTRA boring. especially when i'm always the one who never finishes the book on time. I'm awfully clueless when the angmoh teacher asks us to pick out important quotes and stuff from the pages we were supposed to read eons ago. i remember how absurd i was. we were supposed to finish reading the book "The Bonesetter's Daughter" by the end of sec 3 december holidays. ( i think)
but i only finished the book in july. no wait. i didn't. i finished the book before prelims. ahha. that's how lazy i was. but the book was good. really interesting. a typical Amy Tan book about mother-daughter relationships transcending cultures (American and Chinese). but it got a bit slow when the main character Ruth reached Hongkong.

Talking about physics, there's this excerpt in the book i found really interesting :D

"Ruth thought of a book she had helped write a few years before, The Physics of Human Nature. The author had recast the principles of physics into basic homilies to remind people of self-defeating behavioural patterns. 'The Law of Relative Gravity': Lighten up. A problem is only as heavy as you let it be. 'The Doppler Effect of Communication': There is always distortion between what a speaker says and what a listener wants it to mean. 'The Centrifugal Force of Arguments': The farther you move from the core of the problem, the faster the situation spins out of control."

they kinda make sense don't they? i especially agree with the gravity one and the centrifugal force one. well. cuz i don't know what the doppler effect of communication is. hahaha.
okay i have to go restart my computer. some automatic updates thing. =/
