Life I’ve always known it to be like, The end of.

Made too many mistakes for Indian and Gamelan, but wrote longer than usual for essay during Music Paper.

Ice-cream by Rui Heng’s mom was awesome. Jane and Shunta’s mini-recital, lunch at KFC, and talking to Shunta about (OMG The As Are Over!).

MEP chalet was fun. Mahjong, Wii Sports, and Kirby is still the only character I can play well with on SSBM. Yaa~ENG! XD It’s a pity the owner of the game did not unlock Falcon.

Photog BBQ was great. Playing Frisbee in the water, discussing about Uni Apps and NS, and sharing of memorable JC experiences that we had.

Mahjong at Weijia’s. Emo Avatar, surplus of chicken meat during dinner, and Raphael hu-ing just when I was on the verge of completing my ban se + peng peng + 4 flowers. (Won a grand total of 20cents after 4 winds.)

physics mcq

At the rate it’s going, my blog will probably receive its 10000th visit by tomorrow. Hooray!

Physics MCQ wasn’t too bad, in my opinion. Considering that I’ve been getting an average of 25/40 for practice mcqs, I found that I had gotten at least 32 marks for this MCQ, which is excellent by my standards, even though I know that some are lamenting the fact that they got at least 3 questions wrong.

On to music. 8 days. I can hardly wait. Time to immerse myself in mridangams, imbals, the Les Six and whatnots.

econs

is screwed up. No more A. maybe no more B. So must mug really hard for case study now.

My sis went to this music store which was having this sale, so upon request, she helped me get Bach’s 2 books of the Well-Tempered Clavier and Debussy’s Clair de Lune. yay I’m happy I shall indulge in Bach after the A’s.

Till the next time, it’s me, woonie, signing off.

After the A Levels

I started compiling 3 lists last week, all relating to post-A’s and pre-enlistment stuff.

In order of what came to mind first,

Things to do
1. Solve the problems on projecteuler.net, which means that I have to…
2. Finish learning Python.
I forgot all the Python code formatting after learning how to code/write prgms on the GC

sigh

I really don’t know what to say anymore.

1. Hi friends,
Royce and I were discussing just the other day about having some post-int-hist fun after the history paper on Friday. haha that basically means lanning so we’re wondering if anyone else will be interested. Thus far, the interested people are Royce, Funx and I. Will be playing CS mostly, probably one match of DOTA.

We’re thinking of inviting Mr. Kung too. haha good opportunity for us to accidentally ‘kill him too many times’. Haven’t asked yet, will be confirming the number of interested parties in our class first. If there is insufficient numbers, we may ask another history class if they’re interested (:

Yup, so please state here if you wanna join in the fun! haha and I apologize in advance to the girls as this activity may be slightly male-dominated.

Alright, good luck and study hard for the rest of the papers!

Proven by GC Program

9740/01 Nov 08 Q10(ii) [© UCLES & MOE 2008]
A student puts $10 on 1 January 2009 into a bank account which pays compound interest at a rate of 2% per month on the last day of each month. She puts a further $10 into the account on the first day of each subsequent month.
a) How much compound interest has her original $10 earned at the end of 2 years?

My solution:
10(1.02²⁴) = $16.08

b) How much in total is in the account at the end of 2 years?

My solution:
Ans = 10 * Sum of (1.02^r) from r = 1 to 24.
Forget about the seq() function in calculator, and start panicking. What to do?
Prgm –> New –> (any name)
rompt X
:0->A
:Lbl B
:A+1.02^X->A
:X-1->X
:If X=0:Then:Goto C:Else:Goto B
:Lbl C
isp A
Run prgm(any name) from PRGM
X=? 24 [because 2 years = 24 months]
Calculator displays 31.03029972
Sum of (1.02^r) from r = 1 to 24 = 31.03029972
31.03029972 * 10 = $310.30_//

c) After how many complete months will the total in the account first exceed $2000?

My solution:
10 * Sum of (1.02^r) from r = 1 to n > $2000; to find least n.
2000/10 = 200
Modify earlier code, like so:
:0->X
:0->A
:Lbl B
:X+1->X
:A+1.02^X->A
:If A>200:Then:Goto C:Else:Goto B
:Lbl C
isp X
Run prgm(any name) from PRGM
Calculator displays 81.
Least complete months = 81_//

To quote Aaron Tan, “Hence [...] (proven by GC prgm)”.

—————————————

This is why I love the prgm function on my pink GC. But maybe next time, I should remember how to use the seq() function. My only regret is not putting down the source code for the examiners – bonus marks from teachers who are programming freaks. w00t.
