The sun will come out...tomorrow...its only a day away.

put on your ruby slippers IB friends and click your heels together. we only have four more months of school.

im sitting here doing tok and i have a problem. i dont know what it is but there is a problem.

so ive been told that there are different types of things we know
Known knowns= something we know and we know what it is.
known unknowns= something we know that we don't know <- of which this is one
unknown knowns= something we dont know of but we know
unknown unknowns= something we dont know about and we dont know that we dont know.

i dont really get it... i probably got it wrong and btw it really has nothing to do with tok.

tok depresses me...makes me feel stupid as probably with others too...i mean...gosh

Fascination with work





So I've been collecting data.
this data is about Disney Princesses.
I shall tally the scores now.


Jasmine Supported by: vivi and wensi
Belle Supported by: Me and half of Ying
Mulan Supported by: Danny, Wong, Katherine and half of Ying
Cinderella Supported by: Vincent
Ariel Supported by: Nadz, Steve and Emily Grace Shi
Aurora Supported by: Joanne

Congratulations Mulan (for those who don't know, the Asian one, big surprise there) but what is a surprise is that she won by half a person!!!

And thus Ying is featured in another odd predicament on my blog.

Due to world lit/art/math/school i cannot be bothered to go into more depth.
I was going to think about the princesses work and ours and bitch about that for a while...but LOL honestly cbf...

personal examples please...

so tok

because i am annoyed im writing this post
tok is silly

okay my topic as i have previously mentioned is ridiculous...

so i arrived at the idea that ....

" I believe that everything should be open to rational criticism when in the public forum however the individual should have a right to hold knowledge claims that are not proved by reason if there are no ill effects proven. Thus we should not have hold rational beliefs but for the harmony of society I think rational criticism must hold a solid station." -from my essay



Thus now i am looking at the way of knowing, faith. faith=fides which is the latin word for faith.

fides=trust, loyalty and faith

therefore how can it be trust if you can are able to rationalise the situation?
if someone can have knowledge in another way than just believing it how can you call that faith?

im sooo confused

okay so the idea now is that reason should be applied to the areas of knowledge rather than the ways of knowing ....maybe thats the thing and i just got side tracked ...debating a dead debate...crap okay tok...i hate thee.

plus
if anyone has personal examples that i can use -i have a snazzy one from transformers II- just please please comment and words i want interesting words to spice up my work!!! cool..so tok

perception and reason

I decided i should blog or i would forget my password again. Now what to blog about well....good question...how about..hmm...well..im thoroughly bored. i know!!! tok...well you see tok is this thing we are subjected to biweekly and yes people i used the word biweekly or i could have used its synonym fortnightly wonderful eh?

anyway i get distracted by words oh gosh! actually i was reading this book online and it used the word 'boon' i mean how old fashioned!! it was so quaint i almost died. anyway i think to make tok interesting i shall throw in some strange words so if anybody has some good ones let me know!!

now our topic is no. 6 'All knowledge claims should be open to rational criticism. On what grounds and to what extent would you agree with this assertation?'

There are three of us doing this topic ying, wensi and i so you can imagine how productive we have been.
ying-caught finishing other work
wensi-caught attempting to find answers online to no avail
me-caught looking for a distraction
sav was there too but she was doing a different topic which i believe included reading emily grace shi's blog.

so a tok aliby: how do you know that we have not been productive??
answer: through perception and reason.
aliby: and i cant be bothered to point out limitations. sooo...

ill get back to physics now

So what do you do in math?

Okay so remember Mumma Mia well here is what math forces us to resort to

Kristen says:
does your mother know that your out!!

viviprawn says:
you're so hot !
teasing me !

Kristen says:
i can chat with you baby flirt a little maybe!!!
try to cool it down!!

viviprawn says:
whatever happened to our love
i wish you understood
it used to be so nice it used to be so good
SO WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME DARLING CAN YOU HEAR ME SOS

Kristen says:
our last summer memories that remain
i was so happy we had met
it was the age of no regret


And this is in addition to our wonderful Aeneid reprise in the style of a mathematical analysis question. it will be loaded someday hopefully soon as there is a diagram to help.

Main characters involved:
Aeneas aka. Dopey
Cruesa aka. Ghost
Dido aka. Die Dodo
and a donut called Yi-Ling and Wong is a cactus^_^ {dont ask me fiona added this}

1. What is the velocity of Aeneas' boat
2. Find the velocity vector of his ship and position
3. Please draw a diagram of the Fishy Boat <-yes 'fishy boat' not fishing boat
4. Find the magnitude of dido's body.[ying excerpt: how racy kristen!]
{kristen: realises the other meaning of the question and adds}
floating down the sea.
(omg. get your mind out of the gutter ying!!)
5. Find the distance between Aeneas and Cruesa using vectors
6. Find the time Dido died and Aeneas/Cruesa/Dido's intersection point

If anyone can suggest solutions...that would be awsome.

Yes people, i did accidentally miss the math exam

...you may now forget about the incident. it was quite embarrassing especially when everybody thought i was upset...but yeah...i advise against doing that.

so ee is now done...i would say yay but really its a load of crock. gah. I'm really annoyed at it and i accidentally tore the envelope that gets sent away with it. -.-' ...not a fun experience. and btw i hate writing in print...loathe it terribly. speaking of loathing...i read twilight while putting off my ee...which led to me getting four hours sleep the night before i was to hand it to my supervisor..i added one thousand words ...yay...and yes i confess i haven't read the damn book. instead i read one of Wilde's plays which was far more entertaining...again...i advise you to read the book you have to write four thousand words on...so apparently 'i heart boys that sparkle' thanks to wensi's initiative...i think it kinda beats the original 'i heart boys that shrivel in the sun' or the more generic 'i heart blood hungry dead guys'...but thats left to one's taste i guess.

i just remembered i did a geography project on vampires in ...a while ago...when i was younger...before...anyway i dont remember when. so i got an A on it as some might want to know. but more importantly i learnt all these creepy things...which one day will resurface in my memory.

so yes LOL twilight the girl is sooo funny...in some respects she is a complete bitch to her friends which is really hilarious considering how many times she ends up alone and mopey...and in some respects she is just like ying! that is if you've ever seen ying play sport LOL sorry ying you know i adore you and worship your 'entertaining-ness' how i miss english...to an extent.

so yes onto history internal.
