Phucking Long Post. But patience is a virtue, you know?

"SONIYERBITCHERNAYI!!!!!"

That's Tamil btw. Its the only word i can swear confidently, thanks to my secondary school friend.

I just got back almost all my papers. I did'nt phucking pass most of the subject! How can that be!?! Especially my Physics, my marks is so low until i myself and Mr Wong can't believe it. No, i'm not trying to self-deprecate myself on the net, but seriously I'm stiffled by my really poor results.(ok im exaggerating). So now, I have no choice lor, have to consult Mr Wong almost daily to pass my Physics. =(

Today, GP lesson got me awe-struck for a while. Mr Fahy discussed about a theory that is called "Relativist Fallacy". That topic was so intellectually stimulating that i got lost for a moment, at times not sure I fully understood the theory. But this theory seems to explain why most of us always fail essays and the ka ni na application qns.

This "Relativist Fallacy" theory was explained in an article written by Stephen Law. He explained that a truth itself may be true for some people but it might not be true for others. He then goes on by saying that people always believe that their conclusion is true simply by believing it without any substantial evidence. In other words, these people have committed a logical fallacy!

This fallacy, whether committed knowingly or not, is actually an error which a person conclude their views by going with their personal feelings. So in other words, if it is based on their personal feelings, its is not the truth at all, because arguably, their evidence is not based on actual facts but just on the individual's feelings or maybe intuition.

The funny part comes in...
If a person based on his/her personal feelings, which is actually not true to a certain extent, then how could he/she deny something that is true in the first place? In other words, if he/she said something that is not accurate but yet conclude its accurate(perhaps unknowingly), how could he/she deny something that is actually accurate especially when the accurate claim is based on actual scientific facts.

Isnt the person contradicting himself?

Some really cheem stuffs. Actually hor, i dont know if i explained it correctly or not, but this is what i understand about Relativist Fallacy. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Enough about these cheem stuffs lah! Cockanathan. J Chua came over to my hse to interview me(yes i know u would go what the phuck!). This newbie director came my hse to redo the shootings because due to his inexperience of handling the cameras and gears( he doesnt know how to use the tripod and took a couple of hrs figuring how to set up the camera properly), he has to do it again today! Anyway, i had to say about my struggle towards the higher class of society. But i dont think i ever said things on that because all I did was to introduce myself, about my school, complain about anything and play the guitar. In the end, it seems like J chua wanna market me out into the music industry coz most of what he did was on my guitars.

ok lah. going to 8pm liao, i still haven touch physics tys, later mr wong give me that hopeless look again. =/

PRELIMS END LIAO!

"Jimi Hendrix passed suddenly on September 18, 1970 while touring through London,
England. When news of the tragedy made its way to James “Al” Hendrix, (Jimi's
father) back in the United States, the wheels for a lasting memorial began to
take shape. Al Hendrix requested that Jimi's body be brought back to his
birthplace of Seattle, Washington so that a burial at a new family plot, located
at Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton could be performed... "

R.I.P Hendrix.

Prelims finally ended, concluding one of my worst nightmares. Soon, a new impending doom will be bestowed on me. KA NI NA! The phucking A levels is starting in 1 month!!! ARGHH....

OMG! I just love Stevie Ray Vaughan! His music rejuvenate my Sunday morning, at least it did made me settle down to read my oh-so-boring Physics Notes. hmm..
too bad he's gone now. =(

I changed my template, though it isn't much of a change. But i like it simple and plain, with no fancy animations or complicated javas trolling around the whole site. I just love the Blogger Beta thing, it really makes my life way easier. No more searching through the HTML codes! All I need is to click a button, type in a few words and tada, its done.

The rest of my prelims will commence next Tuesday. I dont think i will make it anyway, especially for Physics. Mr Wong should have taught us since J1 and not arrive at Term 3 this year to replace Mr Tan.

My GP is a goner man!!! I'm going to fail it badly and mr fahy is going to scream at me again! I did a question which required me to comment on the comparison between a pragmatist and an idealist. Initially, i wanted to pick the question on the war on terrorism, but I can't remember the names of some of the terrorist groups. =(

Ok this entry is actually quite pointless. I blog another one when I have the time.

Here is Tommy Emmanuel doing a Chet Atkins cover. One of my favourite songs. =)
