    The Anime Thread

    In my opinion, 'good' is an understatement. w00t. Got volume 1 of Fate/zero. :D

    What games are you playing now during the holidays?

    Heh, I didn't notice your post there. At the moment, all I have is Dead Rising and Gears of War. Waiting for Halo 3. Any other decent or killer titles around? And nope, I don't play on Xbox live at the moment.

    What games are you playing now during the holidays?

    Gears of War has a greater wow factor than Halo 2 IMO. Seriously, half of my time playing the game was spent gleefully giggling at the rampant violence I caused. And mind you, I'm no messed up kid. Shoot at your enemy's kneecaps and knock 'em to the ground for a few seconds. Walk over them...

    Maths Ext 1 - General thoughts on the exam

    Much fucking harder than anticipated. I haven't sworn that fucking much over a test for my entire fucking life (over question 5 [starting from induction]-7). The induction question wasted soo much of my time. So labourious. >:\

    Did your study for paper 1 pay off in the end?

    Definitely. No major changes for both section II and III as both were fairly flexible. Section II paid off big time as I only needed to add a title and used that quote as a paradigm. The rest was copy & paste as memorised, word for word. Section III was pretty much the same except most of my...

    What did you end up writing about anyway? Prepared or unprepared?

    Your creative writing focus. Prepared or unprepared? Your creative writing focus. Prepared or unprepared? Edit: Shit! "Eventually going to die" can be combined with "died beforehand". Mod edit plz? Here it is. Excuse my crappy phrasing. Tired. Thankfully, you guys are smart enough to work it...

    Creative Writing

    Not matter how cliched your idea is, as long you have well-structured sentences (aspects such as grammar, appropriate adjectives and so on...), imagery and some sort of relevant development, then you should be okay. I don't believe you'll lose marks if approximately 65% of the state featured the...

    Difficulty in comparison to previous years?

    I found the 2005 section 1 *easier than this year's section 1. The rest were pretty good though. Edit: Still exhausted from exams.

    Section 2

    Completely filled the booklet! I made it a feature article, used the quotation as a paradigm, and made up a random title on the spot. Kinda different from my prepared story but I felt okay with it. My story was on obesity, NEETs and single parasites. I hope no one used that as their social...

    Section 1

    The poem was alright after realizing it was an imaginative journey on my first read. I completely analyzed the poem and then the question asked you to analyze the last stanza. FUCK. Half my analysis down the drain, but half of it was used in question f) with the photograph. IMO, the...

    Welcome back, funniboi. :D Anyway, the shows I'll recommend (in general) are: Mushishi: (26 episodes) They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally...

    CSSA 2006 Trial

    I've managed to finish the binomial theorem/proof question, but the only managed to finish the first two parts of the projectile motion question. I didn't have enough time to finish the third part though, well- never had the time to draw that little triangle. It was a pretty difficult paper...

    Hmm.... Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (get it from jaguarpowered.com) Blood+ Eureka 7 You can give 'Noein' a try. Maybe 'Coyote Ragtime Show' once it is fansubbed. Not quite sure since I haven't seen it yet. If you wanna try something different, you can give 'The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi' a...

    Recurrence question

    From Cambridge: Excercise 5.5, question 2: In: ∫x(1-x^3)^n dx (limits: 1 and 0) And show that: In = 3n/(3n+2) In-1 Here's a pic: I did it by parts using u = (1-x^3)^n; u' = n(1-x^3)^(n-1) -(3x^2) dx; dv = x dx; v = (x^2)/2 and then I got screwed by the algebra. The best I can do...
