...becos i felt it was unnecessary. =/
i rather write about 'brighter' things...uh
lolz and this means i can dun write about the papers i have taken...
so far i have went through Maths P1, Phy P3 and Econs P3...
and all i can say is...
...erm
maybe i can quote from the "if you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail"
ya...heh
anyway i did something stupidly smart for my Physics paper today
1st qn was on Ideal gas and i had to pick it; ideal gases is usually give away marks
obviously when i say it like dat
it actually turned out to be not like this...=.=
anyway i was using the
PV = NkT thingy
then the qn gave 27 degrees
and i sub 27 as T...
and 5mins later it suddenly struck me that T was in Kelvin and not in degrees...so i had to flip back to qn 1...O.o
however
due to an obvious lack of preparation...i don't know 0 degrees = how many Kelvin
that means i forgot how to convert degree to Kelvin
so
i juz had the "arrrrgh" feeling...
and for some reason i looked at the calculator and thought...
then i entered '100' into the calculator and i somehow rmb-ed that
the K is 200+...
so i enter 200 now...and plus 1 constantly
from 201...202...203...
210...
220...
250...
until 273...
273...
273
and it seemed so strikingly familiar and EUREKA
that's the value i wanted - 273K at 0 deg.
pretty stupid method...but i was deeply satisfied...simply becos the method was stupid
then later upon recalling that incident i realised that this happens all the time
we can forget something but we din really had forgetten about it
per se...its like when we dunno wads the solution and when the teacher reveals the answer most of us will
ORH...ya hor
dats why i felt it was a smart method later...i would call it
visual recollection
or something...
heh
but the bad thing was i ended up spending about 40+mins on the 1st qn...when on avg we shud have spent about 30?
and i actually widened my time deficit, and i recalling having 30mins left for my last 2 qns
:o
*edit
i later realised that the visual recollection thing existed probably before i was born...becos we always see in drama serials that those ppl who lost their memory will be brought to places that they've been to before to help them regain their memory or something
