haha thanks paul for the timely reminder. it is in times of such difficulties and adverse situations where we need to stick together.

anyway to clarify my act of misconduct, let me assure you that it hardly occurs and was a crazy case of misadventure. i had absolutely no intention of doing so but misconduct is misconduct so i admit it's my fault. however, i've also exhibited suitable behaviour for AMC, scoring 40% for econs test (that's lower than paul) and 39% for french test (meaning some people more than double my marks!!) so i'm actually pretty qualified. and in the true spirit of the AMC i haven't mugged for any test (and did very little homework but err nvm).

so as the one of the other members of the AMC exco i'd like to extend a warm welcome to whoever thinks that he/she can fit in. the criteria has already been opened up specially for you so COME ON! and by the way paul about SMARTASS huihui is also in the competition. you stand to lose $2.80, not just $2.40. dammit i'm still sore about the 80 cents i lost lol.

occasionally, we also might have bets with THE BOMB yanheng. (although he usually declines he might accept one day). ya he's called THE BOMB because basically he bombs us flat in every single test and never fails to top the class UNLESS in extreme circumstances. so when we bet with the bomb, criteria can be either of the following:

1) our lowest member's marks multiplied by 2 vs him (failure is common)
2) our 2 lowest member's marks added up vs him (the bomb still has the advantage)
3) our lowest multiplied by 5 vs his multiplied by 3 (by some funny ratio)

either way just remember there must certainly be modification and moderation to AMC members' marks. no offence to yanheng (aka the bomb) haha. we would just like to instil friendly competition to spur ourselves to do better and not to fail so badly.

we also have kind of an AMC charter. paul doesn't exactly abide by it but then again it's more a GUIDELINE than a RULING. as we cannot be bothered to mug, do you think we bother to check if you keep to every rule? no we're not that free, even if you choose to keep to quotient rule chain rule or hund's rule no one really cares ya. at the end of the day you know WE RULE and that's that.

okay so here's the charter:
1) if you know that you're going to fail a test anyway, don't bother mugging for it. (case in point: chemistry)
2) last minute mugging is not good for you since rushed work doesn't get into your head. starting to mug early means you either get burnout or you forget the info later. so don't mug. (case in point: chemistry)

eh actually i had a few more in my mind but someone started talking to me on msn and i forgot what i was doing. ah shit jokes. nvm when i get back the inspiration i'll update the charter.

so that's it have fun and JOIN AMC YEA!
