Raw Raw Fight the Power!

Anime & Manga, Music November 8th, 2007 @ 1745h

Shucks, I am hooked and addicted to this rap. It’s kind of catchy and I can’t stop listening to it while pouring over my economics notes.

And so I present four variants to the rap and the lyrics. keke. (This post is mainly for my own reference to the lyrics.)

-Hook
do the impossible
see the invisible
raw! raw!
fight the power!

touch the untouchable
break the unbreakable
raw! raw!
fight the power!

what you gonna do is what you wanna do
just break the rule, then you see the truth
this is the theme of “G” coming through baby!
raw! raw!
fight the power!

-Verse1
power to the peeps, power for the dream
still missing piece scattering, so incomplete
we be the most incredible soldier from underground
see how easy, they all fall down
digging to the core to see the light
Let’s get out of here babe, that’s the way to survive
top of the head, I’m on the set
do the impossible, don’t you wanna bet?
cuz, a lot of things changed, we be waiting in vain

if you wanna get by, no pain no gain
wow! fakers wanna test me again
(damn! suckers wanna test me again)
sorry, my rhyme’s gonna snatch your brain
we gonna make it happen with the crazy rap
(I’m still starving for the straight up shit)
we gonna make it happen with the crazy rap skill (shit)
get ready to rumble, now is the time
if you don’t know, now you know

(good luck fellows! ha ha)

-Hook

-Verse2
2nd verse dedicates to the real peeps
what we got to say is so real thing
(what we got to say is damn real thing)
cuz, revolution ain’t never gonna televise
kicking the mad flow, microphone phenotype
(kicking the dope shit, microphone phenotype)
open your third eye, seeing through the overground
I’m mabout to hit you with the scream from the underground
whole city is covered with the cyber flavor
“G” is in your area, one of the toughest enigma

-Hook

The Tale of A-Levels Chapter 3: Weird Sense of Humour

Interesting Stuff November 5th, 2007 @ 2330h

It seems like Math teachers like to inject some form of weird humour into the math papers. I guess it’s the only subject that you can set questions that involves some subtle sense of humour.

Take our school papers for example: Mr “Farngow” (Cantonese for sleep) researching on the sleep times of children; “Kong Si Car Sharing” (Kong Si = Chinese? for sharing); “Ai Ying” (Loves to win), “Ai Du” (Loves to gamble), “Ai Wan” (Loves to play) for the names of “characters” in a probability question.

I did quite some papers to find such humour in other papers as well. A drink called “whatsoever”, “Jet-around travel agency” and so on.

I’m really afraid of Probability and permutations questions. =(

The Tale of A-Levels Chapter 2: The Hardworking Teachers

Daily Ramblings, School November 4th, 2007 @ 2121h

The teachers of VJC are really hardworking. Let’s get down to analysing each department that is worthy of mention.

The Chemistry Department comes to mind first. They decided to compile 15 years worth of MCQ questions and answers and compiled the answers in a piece of terrifying looking piece of paper with all the answers to both the June and November Chemistry Paper MCQs for the past fifteen years. In addition, they managed to set five practice papers for the sake of revision. I really applaud them and thank them for their efforts.

The Math department is not any less hardworking. They compiled two volumes of practice questions for all the major topics for practice and even went to the extent of analysing the Paper 1 questions to come up with a list of topics that are out or in for paper two. (Go to Blackboard to find this under the section “Just for A”). They even scanned the H1 Paper for us and mentioned something about a H2 Mock Paper 2 soon. Wow… such dedication.

(On a side note, I screwed up the first Math paper. Been feeling sore over it. I shall pwn paper 2 next.)

The Economics department didn’t come up with such gimmicks but the fact that they compiled more than 20 essay questions and outlines for us deserves some credit. And I heard they are rather accurate in spotting questions. We shall see.

The Physics department compiled an archive of selected past year questions and solutions that is kind of nerve wrecking to look at. The General Paper department conducted a mock examination which I guess was good extra practice.

That’s all!

P.S.: Tomorrow is going to be the subject I’ve studied the most for – Chemistry. I hope I don’t screw it up.
