segeln. ruhe. zwang

what a monday! absolutely nothing interesting happened. oder=)?

was late in the morning! it was really lang2 bei4 even though we took a cab. but the jam was so bad it was irritating, got to the netball court pretty much JUST on time, running all the way from the back gate.

i think training was great today (what a change from sat). surprisingly (though i figured out why later) i played with sihuan today. it's always great to play with her, she's really wonderful. she can bring out the best in a person. it's always a good experience to play with her.
stayed till 8pm. the stress setting in for everyone. could feel it in the air. so exciting. have confidence in yourselves!

i lost the fixtures=S

pe tomorrow!!!! gosh have been looking forward to it for 3 weeks. ms tan's gonna make us jump across the track but i can't care less.

oh i ran 6 rounds today at a pretty satisfactory timing=) that, amongst other things, made my day.

tmr's double lecture day, sth else to look forward to no=)?

gee i love school (i'd better say this before tutorials start again) and i had 2 good tutorials slacking away next to xuxu eric and shulin. that was great. so relaxed, just chatting away, but maybe the pple around us didn't enjoy it as much=) ah well. (should stop being so high before pple/person start(s) asking me again, "bist du verliebt oder?!?!!?" (have you fallen in love?!?!?))

oh inspiration for a physics s qtn:
benedict tosses a table tennis ball up into the air during a serve with initial speed v. As the ball reaches a height of a cm above the table tennis table, he hits it with a force F over a time t, assuming that the ball undergoes elastic collision with the bat, but undergoes inelastic collision with the surface of the table, with a err.... rebounding quotient (you know, that thing) of m where 0< m <1, and given that the height of the net is b cm above the surface of the table, deduce if
i) the ball will make it over the net
ii)the velocity of the ball as it reaches the end of the table.

oh. and assuming he imparts an underspin to the falling ball at an angle of 45 degrees to the table... (i'm sure this is undoable)

now given that he has a 10% chance of striking the ball on its way down (which is realistic!!=) i will get slaughtered, or yelled at..)....how likely is he gonna win his match=)? 100% of course!
