eng paper2 today.

qt cool uh, about the whales and everything.



Again, no one is certain about what is actually going on in the animals' large, convoluted brains. But trying to understand mammals in an environment so different from ours is part of the attraction of this ocean frontier. Whales have a way of turning questions about nature into questions about the nature of knowledge and how our human brains interpret the world.

In your own words, explain in what way the study of whales is a questioning about the nature of knowledge.


o.O


rawrr. how to answer laaaaaa.

(or maybe i'm just staring at the wrong paragraph)


oh, and here's another one.


Whales ordinarily come into view only briefly, when they part the ocean's shimmer to breathe. Humpbacks, though more active at the surface than most, still spend about 90 percent of their lives below. What are they doing down there? They roam too widely through rough and remote seas for scientists to follow; it's no wonder the ways of whales, Earth's grandest life-forms, are still steeped in mystery. But out in the wonderfully clear, blue, warm waters of the 'Au'au Channel, investigators have been gathering new clues about a crucial part of the whales' lives: courtship and birth.


What does 'ocean's shimmer' suggest about the conditions under which the investigators study the whales?


:/
today was also the noisiest exam i can ever remember sitting for.
or should i say - most disrupted.
very irritating.
we know question 11 is from paragraph 16.
we know it's phrased wrongly.
but we were told this FOUR times by two different teachers.
maybe miscommunication or something la.
but you cant say it wasnt irritating.
i think we were very visibly annoyed la haha.
oh and according to jazzie, ______ kept counting the words to her summary aloud.
okay, admittedly i do that too, but i dont think i count it out such that my desk partners can hear right.
at most hear me muttering and whispering only.
anyway, mr hu (sp?) had to tell her to count softer.
apparently she did tht for eng paper 1 too.
:/
shhhhhh.
exam etiquette, child. exam etiquette.


sigh.

time to revise chem.

i will, somehow, manage to tell the difference between metallic, ionic and covalent bonding.

haha jesmine qt suay though.
the first thing she heard when she switched on the radio was some girl dedicating this party song thingy by jessica simpson to yankai and his gang.
hehe. how suay can that get.

this makes me wonder whether siyun called in to say 'mole sucks' again.
apparently charlyne heard her over the radio or something, calling in to say 'mole sucks'.
hehe. i bet the DJ must've been so confused. damn funny la.
oh and siyun reportedly has something going on with JH!
woahhh.

ionic bonding is electrostatic forces of attraction between +ve and -ve ions.
covalent bonding is electrostatic forces of attraction between +ve nuclei and -ve electrons shared.
metallic bonding is electrostatic forces of attraction between +ve nuclei and -ve sea of delocalised electrons.
covalent bond > ionic bond > intermolecular forces.

gahhhhhh.

忽冷忽热可以是很有魅力的一种举动。
可惜，像你这种极端的方式，却造成反效果。
少来这一套。
