TOMORROW'S PI DAAY!

3.14, saturday, fourteenth of March. I'll assume that everyone knows what pi is, but in case you don't know, it's the ratio of the circumference and the diameter of a circle.
Why celebrate pi day?
Don't we all just love math and numbers? :D Pi is a transcendental number, it never ends. It's infinite, an irrational number. It uhh, never changes, you can always rely on it and it helps you in math. People devote years to work out the digits of pi, and right now it's about 1.2 trillion. There's actually a club that has memorised the digits til 100. Is it possible? Yeah, sure, if we all try hard enough. Someone could try to come up with a song for it. Probably easier to remember all those math formulas in AP/GP, MI or Binomial Theorem and Series though.
Okay, so if you've read this (and I know you have), celebrate pi day with a bang! Go to http://www.facade.com/legacy/amiinpi/ to see if your birthday's in pi! (Mine is! I found 221292 starting at this location in PI: 58405) Buy a pie and eat it, while reciting pi. (I'm definitely doing that.) Print a shirt with pi on it, or just type pi into your GC and watch with pleasure as the digits come out.
On a side note, it's also Albert Einstein's birthday. We could poke candles into the pie, cut it and sing Albert a happy birthday song. (:

People in boarding school (minus Janice) went for a night hike last week! Didn't want to go at first, but I figured, no harm, should be quite fun.
We walked from boarding school (bukit timah) to
1. Novena, tan tock seng hospital
2. KK hospital
3. Little India, stopped to take a picture at SHORT STREET in honour of Janice.
4. Bugis
5. Aljunied
6. Kallang
7. Geylang, where we walked past rows and rows of DURIANS and almost bought some.
8. Eunos.
(Or something like that, I may have gotten the order wrong.)
Yup. It started at like 8pm, and we only finished at about 1am at Eunos Idk, 5 hours of brisk walking? We were quite dead beat when we got back, and most of us had stuff on the next morning.
I, for example, had dance. Yeah, I was damn tired, but I survived. Went to PS after that to support GENESIS at DANCEWORKS! They danced their hearts out and it was awesome, no matter what the judges think.
After that, went for Doralyn's birthday treat! (THANK YOU BABE.) It was fun, yeah, got home at like 11pm?
Haha, maybe that's why I'm sick now. Had dance everyday except Sunday.
