Free Topic- What I Love Or Abhor About It

O.

Welcome back to another blog post folks. Today we're going to talk about Free Topic. Literally. For the second time in fact.

If you read my blog, sometime during last year, I've already talked about free topics and how it is either frustrating or fun to write a free topic. Since teacher hasn't replied the group yet, I might as well just wing this, again. Prepare for Free Topic 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Now, if you are a frequent reader of my blogs (thanks,idk why you wasting time but sure, why not eh?), you'll notice that most my free topics talk about Science, Philosophy, or History. Or all three at times. Sometimes its random stories that I like writing, e.g. Gaia's Tragedy. (if anyone is waiting for the next chapter, soz, its not going to work, too many plotholes.)

So, free topics. I love them. Because through free topics, I get to talk and introduce topics that are usually obscure to a normal person, like every one of us who are too busy studying and have no idea what hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, the fear of long words. It's fun introducing weird ideas like Schrodinger's Cat, how our happiness baselines work, or why we feel bad and constantly overthink about negative thoughts. You get to explore new topics, while I get to talk about them. Win-win!

Either way, that's all for this week's blog post since I've talked about this before.

Have a nice holiday everyone.

Cheers,
Chua.

ICT-ton and Carnival 2018

Well it's sad to say I missed this one purely because I was busy and no other reason. So I'm going to sum the event up through friends' experiences. To start off, there was a senamrobik activity in the morning. This is quite weird as... you know... it's a carnival.... not Sports Day to be exact. Nevertheless, that happened. I'm guessing most of the participants weren't wearing the proper attire as they didn't get the memo till the last minute. Besides, there was a dunking game that was setup by the Scouts. Though I didn't go to the carnival personally, a few clips circulated around social media such as Facebook and Instagram and that's how I know Joash from 4 Balau got dunked. Mr James that was a former teacher in the school along with Pn Lau got dunked as well. Lastly, the Teen Star Talent show. Again, I didn't go to the carnival so I do not know half of what happened during the event, but the highlight of the carnival was Mr Ganapathy, th...

Optimism / Pessimism Bias

Welcome back, friends. Exam weeks was long and harsh, but now it's over. Hooray! As for the blog posts, they're starting again and this time, oh boy, free topic for days (at least I hope so). So fasten your seat belts as we explore more random topics for no apparent reason. Today's Topic : Optimism/Pessimism Bias "Great, another bias. What's next? K-Drama bias? Anime bias? Jeez, at least talk about something positive." Well, positive things aren't always fun to write. So... cliche and boring. I rather dig into negative stuff just to find out what causes them and how we can solve them. Doesn't  that sound positive to you? Either way, let's jump into today's topic. I'm going to cover both Optimism bias and Pessimism bias in the same blog post, because they usually are found together in a statement. But before that, let's ask ourselves this common question that is used to test optimism and pessimism. Is the cup half full or h...

2018

J. --- In a time of a day, the Earth, this ball of rock will complete another revolution around the flaming ball of hot stuff we call the Sun. Soon enough, we'll enter the year 2019. So, how was 2018 for any of you? i doubt anyone reads blog but okay lol just pretend there's someone here 2018, from my personal perspective, has been an eventful year. New class, new topics, new subjects, and a whole new experience. Broke and repaired a few friendships, while letting some bridges rot. To me, 2018, was a great year, despite all the hardships. Pn Monica assigning us to write blogs has been a great experience, which we'll continue for the next year, and perhaps, after graduation, I will continue this blog too. 2018, from humanity's standpoint, has been a rough ride on the roller coaster of life, filled with ups and downs. Let's talk about the bad stuff first :  A myriad of natural and man-made disasters struck the Earth, causing casualties, and bringing up t...
