top 5 favourite geek jokes

happened to chance upon the reality show beauty and the geek today on tv and it was hilarious!
during the audition (i was watching episode 1), this question was asked: "which is closer to earth? the moon or the sun?". the 'beauties' gave a variety of answers, none of which was correct of course, lol, some answered that the sun was closer, as it was bigger (actually that makes sense disregarding common knowledge, the closer an object, the bigger it appears, no?) and one contestant actually said that the moon and the sun were the same!

hahaha!anyway, below are my top 5 favourite geek jokes. enjoy!

1. Q:Why does e^x hate going to parties?A:Because no matter how hard he tries, he always fails to integrate.

2. Q: Where does bad light go?
A: To a prism.

3. Two gases are talking to each other and they see another gas walk by. . .
gas 1: man that is the IDEAL gas
gas 2: eww you pvnrt!

4. Q:What did the rock say to the geologist?
A:Do not take me for granite.

5. Q: What did Donald Duck say in his graduate physics class?
A: Quark, quark, quark

Tuition has taught me alot. Just the other day, i was going through a mcq question with my sec 2 student about the particulate nature of matter. The question was something like that:

Which of the following are matters?
i) light
ii) shadow
iii) heat energy

a) all the above
b) none of the above
c) i and ii
d) ii and iii

The answer is obviously b and i was waiting for the student to give his answer. After a few moments of silence, i prompted him for an answer by asking him what was a shadow and what was matter and hoped he would solve the question by elimination.

He replied, " The brightest light passes through the darkest shadow."

Knowing how he likes to give me nonsensical answers and asking out of the world questions. I immediately dismissed his answer and told him the definition of matter, (has weight and takes up space). However, upon fully digesting what he said, i realised that despite it being irrelevant, his answer was really meaningful and thought-provoking!

Like wow! I didnt expect it from a sec 2 or him! He told me he read the quote from a book. Hmm, that must be a good book he is reading then! I should probably re-evaluate my role as a tutor and start learning from my students as well!

Let The Search Begin!=D

hi a quick update on my life! i am now a tutor for 5 students, 1 p6, 2 sec2s, 1 sec4 and 1 jc1. initially i thought that tutoring would be a relatively stress free job that pays very very well. like 5 times bengawan's salary per hour. i would just have to 'turn my knowledge into wealth', according to edwards tuition's slogan. just turn up at my student's house for a few hours every week and watch while he/she does his/her homework. but NOOO!! money will never fall from the sky! both my sec 2 students are very intelligent and hardworking, they have been obtaining A1s and A2s/B3s consistently. their parents engaged me so as to make sure that they would obtain straight A1s and get into the triple science stream in their school. they expect me to coach their child on answering techniques, source for exam papers from other schools, and perhaps even spot exam questions nearer to exam time! also i realised that p6, sec 2 and sec 4 are very very impt years in the education system in singapore! psle, sec 2 streaming and O levels! omg! the student's lives are entrusted in my hands! stressed! my p6 student aims to score 205 for psle, thats a fine line between express and normal tech. i only have 1.5x4x8 hours before psle to pull up his dismal grades and ensures he gets into the express stream! my sec 4 student has been scoring F9 for maths since sec 3. recently she scored 3 upon 74 for a maths class test and her father hopes that i can help her achieve a B3 or 4 for O levels. 2 weeks ago i spent 45 minutes teaching her how to complete the square, and even then she needed hints in order to solve the problem... thankfully, all my students are agreeable people, and they genuinely want to learn from me. except for one who looks at the clock frequently and invites me to leave when exactly 1.5 hours have passed. hmm, sometimes i feel bad for charging so much when i dont feel i have made a significant impact on the student, so i try to spend a bit more time with the students, to reduce the cost to hour ratio, yet when the student themselves are unwilling to learn more, i cannot do anything! all in all though, tutoring is still an enriching job, i get to be the student's study mate and get a glimpse into the student's lifes, by entering their homes! haha! what a long post without paragraphs! im not practising what i preach to students about good compositions with appropriate paragraphing! fail!

edit-- i am now teaching 10 students, and working 7 days a week. very busy but fulfilling=D

im in love with the 10pm show on channel U! the GFS is super cool! go watch!=D

bengawan solo job

hi all!

work has been a super tiring event! i work at bengawan solo tampines as a temp promoter, so all day long from 12-9 i have to serve customers samples, recommend cookies, replenish samples ect ect and i cannot sit down throughout the whole time period!!! i think i have stood more during this job than like the whole of 2008! at the 6 or 7 hour mark my ankle, back and even my toes will start to ache, then i have to endure the 3 or more hours based on mind power!

anyway, i think compared to m1 and my friends, i am super fortunate to have a good boss. he is this 20 something malaysian guy who looks super nerdy and likes to joke alot! all my colleagues are nice to me too, so work is pretty enjoyable, except for the long hours and the standing.

i think i serve like 500 customers a day and have made some interesting observations. many young office ladies need nannying!!! like they would want me to stand by their side the whole time while they talk themselves through which cookie to buy.

ok, my post shall stop here today, i cut my middle finger while opening a can of loveletters today and find typing very hard now =( tata!

2009 happy new year

OMG! i am so touched!!!! thank you to daddy and mummy for the best new year gift of my entire life!!!! MUACKS!! <33333333333 loves you!

hello world!

hi!!!!!!! sorry for neglecting this blog for so long!!! but, true to my word, i am back to revive this blog!

2008 has been an awfully long year and i am so glad the A levels are finally over=D during this one month since liberation, i have been catching up with all my friends=D, relaxing and having fun. at the same time, i have been slowly losing the ability to speak and type in proper sentences and have been spamming all my emails/smses/ messages with excessive !!!!!!s and =DDDDDDDDs.

however i have been facing my new found freedom with mixed feelings... the end of school signifies the start of a new phase of life, a life with more responsibility, less fun and more decisions to make. i dread stepping into adulthood, even if i just have to take babysteps for now.

fortunately, by my side are friends who (hopefully!) share my views on growing up, and i hope the transition into adulthood will be made much easier with like-minded peers beside me during this journey!

not forgetting my dearest M1 who i will grow up and grow OLD together with, for the rest of our lives!!! ahh, the future already looks brighter lol!
