This title isn't that original after all if you have realised. I got this inspiration from a book I (was forced to) read some time back (for my book review homework). The book is titled "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom.
Chem lecture about Nitrogen Compounds, then PE. PE required us to do pull-ups, 12 of them, in whatever set preferable, according to own preference. Then we went for a 2.4km run. I clocked 11 mins 10 secs, which was a score for B. And the range for B is 10.21 - 11.10 ... so 1 sec late and C is on its way to town...
Then come the Maths Lecture. Its Vectors Part 2.. Vectors Part 1 already is good enough to kill half of me... now they're introducing another half to finish me once and for all :( There is this "Right hand screw rule" inside vectors. However, the way the lecturer pronounced it makes it sound like "Right hand screw you." which is very funny. GP Tutorial came after, with several people missing from class due to the Aesthetics performance coming up during mass civics. So, Mrs Chng began giving us content, updating us on the General Issues... well of course, there is the part on Gaddafi and the part on Japan.
Then came the Mass Civics period in the Hall, where we watched the Aesthetics performances as mentioned earlier. Moving on, we have the Maths peer tutoring on Vectors Part 1. Then we have the GP Remedial which Mrs Chng went thru the intro paragraph for our essays... She told me that physically handicapped and mentally handicapped should be treated as one whole group of the handicapped, and I cannot separate them and write on them separately in my essay... Before the session ended, she gave us an article to photocopy and do as remedial hmwk. So we went to the photocopy shop and asked for 5 copies.. it only costs us 15 cents... and here comes the trouble! And Mathematics alone is not sufficient to solve this million dollar question.
If there are 5 copies to be given each to 5 people and it costs a total of 15 cents.. how do we separate the cost!? You may say 3 cents each... but if you think about it again and put yourself in our shoes... you will realise the seriousness and the complicated-ness of this problem... HOW ON EARTH DO YOU GET 1 CENT COINS IN THIS ERA OF THE 21ST CENTURY!?!?!!?!??!?!?! Don't be mistaken. Finding 1 cent coin isnt the real problem... the huge task sitting ahead of us is HOW DO U FIND THREE 5 cent coins EACH (15 one-cent coins?!)
So we ended up incorporating Economics in our quest to solve this problem. We have introduced the free-rider problem! So tc, rebecca and yian paid 5 cents each.
Yian absorbed the cost for me cause he was supposed to treat us to a meal as he passed his Chinese A levels, as promised. But isn't this 3 cent meal a little bit tad too cheap?!
Okay, so this shall be the question to ponder over the weekends: Is this 3 cent meal worth it? Happy pondering and don't fall into the pond while pondering!
