Prof Leslie shall discuss on why maths is a big scam. ( hehehhee )
Now, everyone knows that 1 + 1 = 2.
But, 1 x 0 = 0.
Those are what you have learned in primary school.
In secondary school, you learn...
a + 1 = 3
Therefore, a = 2.
Yes yes, the zeroes are still common. But alphabets are introduced.
After secondary school, this is what you learn..
a x b = c
Therefore a = c/b
The only numbers you will face is 0. And lots of alphabets. Or else its Greek alphabets.
The point here is :
Maths ( lower to higher )
numbers ---> numbers + alphabets ---> alphabets and zeroes.
Crap, my logic only processes 1s and 0s. Try to feed to a CPU alphabet values, it will crash on your stupid face and go "BOOM!" ( who knows you might start to look like Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie or something. Turning handsome//beautiful cause of an explosion? xD )
Question : Why are we moving away from known value numbers to unknown value alphabets? Makes sense during learning, doesn't make sense when you think about it.
x represents an unknown value in different questions.
in Question 1, x can be 12. In Question 2, x can be 0. In Question 3, x can be P/(2ac + 4bd)
So.. wtf is 'x'? Is it just 'x', or is it 0, or is it P/(2ac + 4bd) or is it 12, or is it just some imaginary number that we use imaginary numbers to calculate with?
X is an alphabet -_-"""
Its weird to me how maths can evolve to such an extent. I mean, to calculate an unknown value, yes we can say that 1 + 2 = x, what is x?
but x + y + z = 3???
Weird isn't it

Long time no update
Been really busy, and the hostel's internet's a bitch as usual. Doesn't really feel private. As though the institution is reading every word as i type it now.
Anyway, been busy with assignments, mcDs, mcEs, KFC, Pizza Huts and basketball. Yes you read it. Don't have to zoom back. Its basketball.
I don't know what to say about the sport. Sometimes it feels like my face is getting more action than my hands. Enough said.
Oh maybe add another note. Makes me feel short.
If you would like another, make it 'Fuck right?'.

Sem 2's freaking hectic. Projects for EVERY subject. WHAT THE FUCK.
And my grades seem to be slipping. =/
One word to summarize 2 months. Pissed-off.

Professor Leslie has an interesting question to ask you people.
Question :
Imagine yourself logging into eBay ( or anywhere ) and auctioning yourself off, how much do you think people will bid for you?
If you gave a figure you're comfortable with, it's too much.
If you gave a figure that you'll probably get if your organs were all harvested and sold off to China, you probably got it marginally correct.
If you gave a figure that matches the pirated DVD sold near your house, damn right!
Anyway, the entire point is just to show you how much you need some self esteem. I just crushed all you have into sand, unless you are a shameless bitch who thinks you are worth more than you are :P
Crude, but someone's happy from reading that. ( At least me )
