The Black World Of Solitude.

This post might be longer than usual; I shall split the sections with headings.

Friday's NCC training

NCC training was as per normal yesterday (friday, lah). Entire flight got punished (that includes the year 2, 3) because some guy gambled in school. Since we weren't allowed to do push-ups, the teacher made everyone stay in the push-up position on the rough, rocky ground until my friend could not endure the pain. He then asked for permission to recover from that position, saving all of us from having our skin punctured by the rocks on the road.

Dissatisfaction with the internet

Here's another evidence that the internet isn't very good at giving direct answers. I'm searching for the range of pressures that the lungs can work at, and none of the links on Google gave me an answer. All I have is this partial pressure crap, that tells you that the concentration of oxygen must vary based on the pressure of the surroundings for the lungs to work. I don't believe that our lungs can only work in one pressure, but I can't neither prove myself right or wrong since there's no information given about it.

Trying searching Google with any keywords relating to pressure range and lungs, such as this search link: http://www.google.com.sg/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4SUNA_enSG342SG342&q=Pressure+range+which+lungs+can+work+at, and you'll see that Google gives you crap about high blood pressure, and how your lungs work. Nothing about pressure range. Enclose the keywords in quotation marks, and Google says there are no links. Actually, I did see something about pressure range on Wikipedia, but I still can't find that particular article. But that's not the point. If anyone of you reading this particular post finds any information about the range of pressures that the lungs work at, please do tell me.

And I thought one of the advantages of the internet was that you could easily access information that you need. Seems like this is not entirely true indeed.

EOY Examination Results

I have just received all my examination papers back. Hmm, I would say I did quite badly... Here are the scores (converted to 100%)

English 66/100
Math 83.75/100
Higher Chinese 58/100
Physical Sciences 92.5/100
Life Sciences 98.57/100
Literature 80/100
History 90/100
Geography 91.6/100
Art 82/100

Really funny, how I got 82 for art. My drawing sucks. I did badly for english, considering I only got 19/30 for my composition, I'm lucky I didn't fail english. I failed composition in Chinese, since I went out of point, therefore I passed my higher chinese by 8 marks. No idea why I made so many mistakes in math such that I received only 83.75. To conclude, higher chinese and english pulled down my average by a lot... ...
