PLKN!!! :O :O

RM 0.20 PLKN : Maaf! (IC No) tidak terpilih untuk menyertai PLKN Siri7/2010. Terima kasih.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:


NEED I SAY MORE?

Lalalalalalalalaalalal haha.

Probably Probability


Probability, I love it. I really do, just that I'm not that good at it, and due to that, I don't really fancy it. Now, trigo,more like my thing.
But, just to show you how complicated things can be with probability, I'm gonna give u a question I haven't been able to solve. Like Pn Erwani said " Cerita dia panjang, tapi solution dia dua baris je. Boringnya.! Kena faham cerita dia dulu. " haha.

Here's the question. Warning, reading this means you are hereby required to answer this question, I don't care, give me rubbish answers, I just want an answer! Compulsory okay, if not, click the red box with a white cross on the top right hand corner of the screen. :P
There are 350 students in an academy for pre-degree programme. They are divided into a certain number of classes (not important). As they progress into degree progamme, only 100 students will be chosen from the previous 350. As they progress into the masters programme, only 50 of the previous 100 will be chosen, and in the PhD programme, only 25 of the previous 50 students will be chosen to do it.
Now, in a certain pre-degree programme class, there are 16 students. The teacher, Pn Erwani expects 7 of them to progress into degree level, and those same 7 to progress into masters level and the very exact same 7 from the beginning to progress to Ph.D level.! Simply find the probability that these 7 students from that class will be chosen from the pre-degree level all the way into Phd level.

Lets name these 7 students for better comprehension,
Niko
Ker
Sawi
Irsyad
Dahiyah
Jessica
Tingtong

Niko, Ker, Sawi , Irsyad, Dahiyah, Jessica and Tingtong are from class Alpha in the pre-degree programme. Same class okay. All of them progress into degree, masters and finally PhD.

Find the probability that Niko, Ker, Sawi, Irsyad, Dahiyah,Jessica and Tingtong will progress all the way from pre-degree to PhD. :O

It's an amazingly low probability, like 7 of these guys will be part of the 25 finally chosen for Phd from the initial 350 of pre-degree. Wow. Try to figure it out please.

If you have, then. Look at this next statement to double check your answer.

Pn Erwani lowers her expectations after seeing the mid-year results, :D
She believes that Niko, Ker, Sawi, Irsyad, Dahiyah, Jessica and Tingtong will progress to degree level (still 7 people), but thinks that only Ker, Dahiyah, and Irsyad (3 only) will make it to masters level. Finally she completely lowers her expectations and thinks that Irsyad, just him will be able to make it to Ph.D level. Now find the probability that of the 16 students in her pre-degree class, only Irsyad makes it to PhD level!

The answer for the 2nd statement should be higher than the first right? Figure it out. Please.

RIP MJ

Is it too late to pay my last respects to the King of Pop?
Everyone has said so many things about him, good things, bad things and all sorts of things.
There's nothing more for me to add except that everyone's lives has been filled (okay, not filled) with at least A little of Michael Jackson.

I remember when I was 4, my aunt used to play the Thriller video quite often. I was petrified of it. Especially the part he transforms. I can still remember it till today.
:)

In what way has MJ affected your lives?

National Servitude.

National Servitude also known as National Service is a bloody waste of time that was created so that certain people could make money and others could waste the hard earned holidays in some god knows where ULU jungle. It is a cruel way to reward SPM candidates hard work for 10 years of school. It is also an obviously desperate attempt for Malaysia to be in the same substandard as our little neighbour down there who has earned global recognition. Thank heavens this " Anything you can do I can do better" spirit from Malaysia or more commonly known as "Malaysia Boleh!" is not so strong. Or else, NServitude would last for 5 years or so. Starting from 2014, all students will be inducted into this program with no exceptions. (hahahahahaha) Which means more money and more time wasted! A win-win situation indeed. :P
Sometimes, even the greatest psychologists wonder why there are mostly positive reviews of this positively bad program. Suggestions? Perhaps a rinse cycle for their brains in the washing machine. (: Or maybe a brand new iPhone?



P/s This was randomly spontaneous and cryptic and hard hitting at the same time. Wonder what trouble is in store for me. :O

Gloomy Sunday ):

Flashback to year 2008, in a busy pathway in Sunway Pyramid.

Asharina: Tomorrow, school is starting right?
Keevan : Yep. So sad wan lah. I always feel like this when going back to school.
Ashna : Monday blues? I also feel like that.
Keev : No, not Monday, but Sunday blues. Sunday only feel like that ma. Not monday! ):
Ashna : Oh yea, right! You know there's this song Gloomy Sunday, it's supposed to be cursed.
Keev : Really? How?
Ashna : Anyone who listens to it will feel like committing suicide.
Keev: Ooh. scarynya. :P
Ashna: Seriously lah.
Keev : OKay. Have you listened to it?
Ashna : Huh? Crazy ah you?!
Keev : Okag. okag.

Fast forward to June 2009. I'm watching a show on Discovery Science called 10 ways. Anyone who's watched it will know that it's full of rubbish sometimes but oh so entertaining. This particular day was a show on 10 ways to be cursed. Hehe
So, at number 5 or something, there it was Gloomy Sunday. And bla bla, he talks about a guy who composed this song for his lover who left or something. Then he died or something. The lover heard it and she committed sucide. Since then, it's said that this song is cursed and anyone who listens to it will commit suicide. And then, the twinkle of musical notes from a piano! WTH. They're playing this song now?! I reach for the mute button, but curiosity kills this cat.
So, I hear a gloomy but normally boring song. Nothing much actually, I just hear part of it, and I felt the same after that, so no biggie. Maybe, if in full it can do some damage? Who knows? So here, I don't like to mess with these kinds of things but if you want to try your luck, here is the song. P/s BBC banned this song in the 1930's

The video is down here, but before that, read what this person has to say, the uploader I mean. :P

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC if you are depressed or if you think or already thought in suicide, It may put you very worse, please, I beg you.


Gloomy Sunday, or "The Hungarian Suicide Song" or even "Suicide's Anthem" as some call this music, it's a very sad music, that Rezso Seress composed, when he was in a bad situation.
Some people call it the names i said up there, because this music was linked to many suicides. People say the melody is haunted and if you listen to it, you ear a voice that tells you to kill yourself.
But that is just a bad joke of someone's sick mind.

This music is a very, very sad music, it is normal that a person with suicide and/or depressive tendences would want to die.

Me too think this music is sad, but somehow, I like it, I love to ear it, Seress really passed the feelings he was when he wrote the sheet to the melody, to me, this music is like a poem.

I hope you like it! hehe

How well do you know me?

To all facebookers out there I've just created my "How well do you know me?" quiz. I dare you to get it, highest score so far is 70%.
My tips for you, don't think to hard and don't not think at all. (: Click here for the quiz.

For all those without facebook, shame on you. Friendster is dead, crawling with creepy people who don't want to put their pics tthere but instead some unknown actor/actress. And freaky messages on my wall.

Myspace is not user-friendly and in my opinion, does not encourage making new friends which defeats the whole purpose as it being a SOCIAL networking site. Besides, with all those freaky names, who the hell will know you, without your real name?
So, go, join facebook, it's much more multi-racial and fun, enjoyable. (: Keep your myspace love to yourself, I came, I saw and I left myspace.

Ciao.

Tired. So Tired.


I totally understand how you're feeling Daia. (:

I'm tired. So tired of this. I am phlegmatic according to a temperament test. 

POSITIVES                                               NEGATIVE
PEACE MAKERS                                     UNMOTIVATED
QUIET                                                      PROCRASTINATOR
DON’T EXPRESS SELVES OR

GIVE INFO UNLESS ASKED.              UNDECISIVE
PERFECTIONIST SELFISH
CONTROL THEIR ANGER WELL       FEARFUL
CALM IN TENSE SITUATION –

MEDIATE & SETTLE ARGUMENTS   WORRIER
IMPORTANT TO THEM THAT

EVERYONE “FEELS” GOOD                  DAMPENS ENTHUSIASUM
EFFIECIENT                                         WOULD RATHER WATCH OR DO BEHIND THE SCEENS                                                                    WORK

QUIETLY OBSERVE SITUATIONS     FINDS THE EASY WAY OUT
GOOD LISTENERS                                 KEEPS EMOTIONS HIDDEN

See, those highlighted in red are my weaknesses. You might think, then why is it in the positives section? This is a case of an asset becoming a liability. I'm tired of having to do all the work. I'm not choleric, but I usually have to run the group. Without me, forgive my arrogance ;) , all will fail. :D Sometimes, if I'm angry then I totally pull away, withdraw, let them handle it then. Today, I will see how far I can stretch those boundaries. I am prepared to kick dust in their faces. The blackness of their eyes doesn't scare me, and never did and never will. At most times I am resigned to the fact that the hopeless bumblers around me are unable to organise anything for the matter. But when I do try even when I shouldn't and just let them take advantage. That, I cannot handle. Woohoo, this is a major exaggeration in some parts but true to the last word in other parts. I'm going to stop being phlegmatic and try being sanguine, they just take and take and keep on taking. 

Maybe I should get new friends. For my own good, then yes. But not for them. :)

P/s talking in code is fun.

P/ss I don't care.
