cant you come out to play.

well new week, fresh beginning, lets mug.

[ Peace out! ]

the rules:
1. each player of this game starts off by giving 6 weird things about themselves.
2. people who get tagged needs to write in their blog of their own weird things as well and state the rules clearly.
3. in the end, you'll select 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

well liz tagged my name down so i guess here goes...

6 weird things about me:
1. i enjoy orchestra as well as rock music. screw loose somewhere there.
2. i'd like to think that the whole world is weird so that i feel normal.
3. i am a very shy person. well some people would reject violently but well thats what i think.
4. i dont eat fish/vegetables that my grandma cooks (she usually cooks dinner for the family, not to say she's a bad cook...), but i pretty much like eating vegetables and fish when i dine outside.
5. coffee does not keep me awake, it just prevents me from sleeping (there's a difference, go figure).
6. i would like to put on some weight.

well that was tougher than i thought, i think random thoughts are easier to generate. well i m suppose to choose six people to do this thing as well, but as with all these thingys, i ll just leave it to u guys. i mean if u re feeling bored or something here's something for u all to do...

i feel like ranting.

-----

i caught the truman show on i think it was star movies just awhile back. that opened some perspectives. so touching.

i cant find you. someone tell me why.

the weather over the past few days is just terrible. cloudy and rainy and all, well great for sleeping but its just affecting my mood.

my gp tutor said i have 'warped' english language. she figuratively tore my compo into bits when i had consultation on thursday. geez.

i should stay away from sappy love songs.

well i should stop now.
geez.

well its been awhile since i ve blogged, few people came to tell me it was starting to collect dust and all. so heres one..

i thought that since everybody has been mugging like crazy this week, it would be pretty inappropriate to just blog, you know like blog for fun and all. so i decided to make this post(rather try to) educational =) ok here's what i intend to do.

we understand that when a sample size is large i.e. >50, most distributions can be taken as a normal distribution. for those who dont know what i m talking about, well basically there are different ways u can distribute data (statistics of whatever, eg. rainfall per year, no. of students doing____, no. of working adults etc etc...) a normal distribution is basically, literally normal. ie. the mean value will have the highest occurance, and the data spreads evenly about the mean. (bell shaped curve about the mean). if u have no idea what i m talking about till now, nvm.

ok so if u all remembered, some time back i posted 20 random thoughts. i thought this time i post 40! yes four zero. i dont think i m actually that random, but i ll try. so what i ll try to prove from this post is that by having a relatively large number of (random) thoughts, you will(or should) find that these thoughts are actually no longer random! because it would seem as if they are normal ie. normally distributed. ok lets try this.

1. my cats decided to munch on my ipod earphones AGAIN. great.
2. i got placed in band4 (suppose to be for pple who got A,B for mid years) for maths star(some supplementary class thing). thats crazy! i cant possibly get A or B, well at least in the mid years. i suspect my teacher put me there humiliate me.
3. i have an urge to play ball.
4. The gst increase is killing me. food has become so much more expensive.
5. i need to get a RELIABLE cd burner.
6. i m gonna miss ypg this saturday.
7. i feel like a cycle to east coast (again)
8. my fattest cat is becoming more friendly. :)
9. i realised that i mugged pretty hard this week. achievement.
10. If a singaporean goes to japan and buy a singapore imported good, is that considered as a -ve in the current acc, or a +ve in the capital acc?

11. bball alumni is this sunday from 730 to 5pm. i mean, i would like to go, i think it'll be fun meeting up to ball again, but......
12. timothy(the only guy who got A for h2 chem for mid years) was sitting infront of me during lecture today, i was noticing what he was doing, i realised he wrote in extremely big fonts. so thats what i plan to do to improve my chem. big fonts baby.
13. i was surfing the net, and found some stuff, apparently saosin was put in similar catergories to bjork ? and taking back sunday. i m guessing it was their first few albums and songs.
14. A levels is in less than 4months. great.
15. i need to get a new router. my current router really just takes leave whenever it wishes to. and that can get really irritating.
17. playstation emulator is like the best invention since err, the keyboard?
18. i think i m becoming highly unfit. i havent did any really good workout since forever.
19. on the note of fitness, i gained TWO KG!!!! so exiciting.
20. g-tec pens and nice to write with, but when i use them and write fast they turn out to be horrid and illegible. which of cos drives my gp and econs tutors up the wall.

21. did you realise that 16. was missing?
22. tissue paper is now starting to come in 3ply. thats crazy la. how thick man. its starting to feel like paper or something.
23. transformers is a great movie. action packed all the way. story's pretty ._. though.
24. joel lim has been mugging like crazy. he really surprised me with all the tutorial and extra papers done-.-
25. ytd's pe was boring like crap. i was like excited to go for pe since Wednesday la. then come thursday, cher say this cannot play, that cannot play. kao.
26.live earth concerts are quite a paradox.
27. clarice will be flying back to aussie soon. i hope she brings back my kangeroo and koala bear the next time she comes back. or at least starburst!
28. on the note of starburst, candy empire is a wicked place to be. its highly distracting and blows a hole in your pocket before you even know it.
29. i m starting to feel weird again. i havent felt this way since,,,, err jan feb? cant be a good sign.
30. i m not half as excited as anybody about catching harry potter. i guess i m not that big a potter fan.

31. these random thoughts are actually easier to come out then i thought!
32. what you re suppose to go figure in the previous post was suppose to be 'what business/industry am i referring to'.
33. there are some songs that you have to abstinent from before major exams. these include: paperthin hymn (anberlin), seven years (saosin), fences(paramore), let the flames begin(paramore), grim goodbye(red jumpsuit apparatus), some fall out boy songs, tbs has a few too. well u cant listen to them because they get stuck in your head. then through out the paper it just plays over in your head over and over again.
34. i still cant believe i m in band 4. yes this piece of news has stuck me the entire day.
35. i go to chem and maths lectures for all the wrong reasons.
36. kfc meal prices have jumped from 5.95 to 6.20 (i think) thats crazy. i m gonna get so broke if i ever feel like the buddy meal thing.
37. i find myself lame. ask ls, ht and jer. man i m still laughing at my own joke like 6 hours after i cracked it?
38. bill gates is a real life savior with the whole charity work he's been doing in india. somehow though........ nvm.
39. practical arguments are often one sided and philosophical arguments often lack pragmatism. and we wonder why our gp sucks.
40. mrs sim conducted the temperature taking excercise today as if it were some national day celebration. ' wave your thermometer in your hand ...' you know like waving the singapore flag or something.i found it kinda err, inappropriate.

well that wasnt as hard as i thought it would be. i think i could go on to 50, but maybe next time.
so what do u think? follows a normal distribution? well i m thinking its starting to resemble something more like a normal, but i guess the things in life are really vast, so its gonna need a lot more random thoughts before a central mean can be found i guess.

well that was a long post.

alright then. mug hard people.

on a random note,

in this industries, many oligopolies, and small emerging firms strife to exist.
there have been eras of monopolies, but often are few and short-lived.
as we learnt, oligopolies in general, due to large economies of scale, somewhat ability to set price, are capable of earning supernormal profits.
they also have the potential for dynamic efficiency to be obtained should R&D be an aspect which they develop.
hence, they are able to produce more and sell at a higher Price above market equilibrium.
this makes life an uphill climb for smaller firms.
with near negligible economies of scale, small firms have to absorb high costs of infrastructure and capital costs.
so you might be wondering, if barriers to entry into this trade are reasonably high with the presence of oligopolies(sometimes natural monopolies), why do this small firms bother trying to get in? well u see, this business is suppose to be the route which has the greatest potential for future success measured by material well being(obviously non-material wellbeing is not taken into consideration at all).
in singapore the situation is highly competitive. this good thing is, the govt has implemented certain policies that aid firms in getting into the industry. these includes subsidies and guidance from experienced firms. the bad thing is of cos, that each firm must produce a minimum quantity at a reasonable price such that TR-TC is statistically nice to look at.
hence, sometimes smaller firms which are unable to enter into the industry successfully, fall out.

ok go figure.
maybe if i can think of stuff thats relevant i ll post it in the next post.
