The Last Saturday

What am I doing blogging instead of mugging mindlessly? Well, it appears simple to convince oneself that one comprehends the subject matter as taught after going through the notes and some questions, though it remains to be seen whether those concepts can be applied as quickly in the heat of an examination:

"...At a time like this, even the bravest warriors shook with fear. One could say they were 'scared', but this was completely different from ordinary fear. It was not that their wills were shaken; when they trembled, it was because they were making the change from everyday life to the life of battle. This took only seconds, but in that instant a man's skin turned to gooseflesh as purple as a rooster's comb..."

"...All of that aside, it was said that the instant of meeting the enemy face to face was terrifying. Heaven and earth were dark even at noon; You could not see what was right before your eyes, you could not go forward or retreat, and you were only jostled and shoved around on a line of ready spearheads..."
- Taiko, Eiji Yoshikawa

Must protest - why aren't there critters like this bouncing around at NUS? (Actually, a pack of stray dogs appear to have taken up residence on the bare patch next to the University Hall, so that's better than nothing I suppose)

Tonight, EPL resumes, and we've got Arsenal vs. Wigan, Bolton vs. Man Utd and Derby vs. Chelsea among others. Arsenal are a very paltry 1.07 to the win, United are 1.35 and Chelsea, 1.20. Bolton aren't exactly Derby yet, and a 20% overnight interest rate compounded for a year is... eighty thousand trillion trillion percent or thereabouts. Okay, that's not exactly relevant, but this is about as much of a sure investment in punting as things go.

$100 on Chelsea to beat Derby (at 1.20)
