How disappointing

to declare an intention to start blogging again and then immediately find one doesn't really have the time for it just yet. Apparently I have like one million tests next week, one or two of which I might actually have to study for. (Logic 2110 is not one of them. More on that in a later post.)

More significantly (to me), I've been sucked into doing, guess what, the NUS Literary Society's magazine. No, I never learn. At least this time I won't be collaborating with people who live on another continent (actually two other continents) and who could up and disappear at any moment.

On a related note, I'd like to encourage urge beg encourage what readers I have (all two of you) to send something in for the Creative Writing Competition:

The [NUS Literary Society] Creative Writing Competition aims to recognise outstanding student writing and encourage the practice of creative writing among local youth. It contains two categories--poetry and fiction--and is open to all students undergoing pre-university or tertiary education as well as persons serving full-time National Service. Each of the two categories is judged by an established local writer, with prizes going to the top three entrants in that category.

The judges for the 2006/2007 CWC will be Suchen Christine Lim (Fistful of Colours, A Bit of Earth) for short stories and Yong Shu Hoong (Isaac, dowhile) for poetry. The closing date for entries is 30 December 2006, 5pm. Email nuslitsoc(at)yahoo.com.sg to receive a copy of the entry form, including guidelines.

The Creative Writing Competition is made possible by the continuing sponsorship of Singapore Press Holdings Ltd.


Even if you have the writing ability of a bean sprout, give it a shot. Trust me, unless there's been some miraculous change between last year and this year, the volume of submissions will be low and the overall quality lower. A dubious prize package and a meaningless accolade for just $2.00? It's a steal!

P1) All smart people do not need to study for tests.

P2) Some smart people nonetheless need to study for tests.

C) Unlike you, I need to study for PH2110 :(

As you can tell, I am an expert at constructing invalid arguments.

Ahaha, but that argument is valid. Since P1 and P2 cannot both be true, it is not the case that this argument will ever lead you from all true premises to a false conclusion.

Very smart ;)

Is this special validity? *That* you might need to study for.
