0n air>> i haven't updated my blog for a few days. perhaps got no idea cross my mind on what to scribble. well, just came back from lectures. and how my Process System's lect swept me and my other scholarmates off our feet with his a-cut-above-the-rest knowledge. erm yeap should i say d evening's lecture which should be a yamning-wide-out period was turned on. ha-ha. and yeah. these are some interesting stuffs and not to forget the quotations that i've gained from him..
"normal adults' concentration's span is approximately 26 minutes..so what's the purpose of having 50 minutes lect?"
"d generation now misuse the word 'terrific' for something great or tremendous. but d actual meaning of it is actually terrifying.if only Charles Dicken in his time were to know how people misused the word and how terrifying f***ing nitemare u'd have."
his nostrils also flared up in pride knowing the fact that he's got scottish blood in his family's line and his name was given upon the first king of scotland.
"do you know that scotland is the only nation in the world that resisted the rome? and it'd b because the romans thought that scottishes were too barbaric and less than humans, so it'd worthless to conquer scotland.scottishes also never gave themselves to any king but to a chieftain who then would b executed if he didnt do his job well."
"there is indescribably huge difference between 25.0, 25.00 and 25.000. as these numbers simply mean 10,100 or 1000 times more accurate that 25 itself." he also said that he'd been in court for a few cases and he never lost in his case he's in. and once there was a lawyer asked him in a trial and mistaken a number like 25.0 instead of 25 and he quipped "are u saying u r ten times more accurate than me?"
"if in d exam uve done a question and when u got back to it and noticed that u did it wrongly, then if uve got no time to redo it, you may simply write down at the bottom there what uve done wrong and got no time to redo it, i'll sure give u 55% of the total marks for d q. but to the qs that u wrote crap and simply put down 'sorry, i deliberately f***ed it up. so please gimme 55% of d marks' , dont do that, i will know."
"dont b shy to ask qs in my lect. it's better to ask rather than keep in silence when u dont understand. d same goes to the other scientists or great thinkers over there. do u know that in the convention where Albert Einstein presented and explained his theory of relativity, among all of the many great scholars who went to listen, only 3 of them who actually understood what he was explaining?"
"do u know who's the most important person in this university? it's not the chancellor. he knows nothing. the most important person is the chief librarian. coz he's d most resourceful person of all. just tell him wat's ur problem of certain subjects n such and he'll tell u the books to b referred to, where they are, in which levels, which sections and which racks."
"any percentages in a system should be added up to 100% and no compromy for that. and people like the politicians who simply say bout 110% or bla2.. they'r indeed wrong. it's even worse than wrong. it's a crap. it's a bullshit."
ha-ha-ha. and lots more.
