edit: i just thought of something. today is the anniversary (it feels weird using such a happy word on such a sad occasion) of the 9/11 attack, and everywhere security is being tightened. and yet jc students (and maybe sec sch, and pri sch students too) all over singapore have only one thing in their minds: prelims. so what if singapore gets bombed by, i duno, a Fat Man nuclear bomb and the whole island is annihilated (i.e., eradicated, totally, into nothing but mass-energy)... then would prelims matter? would prelims, a levels, getting an A in maths, what uni to apply to, would it all matter at all?

it wouldnt, right.

not sure what my point is, just that it gets scary when i remember how small i am in the world. all 6.4 x 10^6 metres of radius of the earth (sorry, the physics data is still in my head..).

but anyway, here is a moment, just to remember the lives sacrificed just because of one person's desire to make a statement.

aw man, i love the little mermaid.

today's econs paper was frustrating. most of what i studied came out, so content wasnt a problem.. in fact i had too many thoughts and ideas and everything just got mixed up.. i need to work out how to translate all those ideas into a coherent essay. =(

ah, well. hopefully i can do better for the case study. maths paper tomorrow! gehhh hope i dont make too many careless mistakes.
