sundays are lazy days cos i woke up at 11+am, slacked till 3pm and onli started doing econs at abt 4. anw it took me alot of motivation to get my work done, and i wldnt be doing it if not for the fact that i have one of the best tutors in school. but anw, i was thinking how econs may nt make sense.

firstly, for people who love econs, this is not meant to offend u! and secondly, i was thinking i wldnt even be taking econs (which i suck at) at all if not for the stupid contrasting subject thing. anw, thats besides the point.

you see, the market is always imperfect. which means that whatever we learn in econs does not really apply to the market and could never be applied to real life cos every economy is so different (and imperfect). which means that econs is only theoretical and not proven. so why are we studying econs?!?!

its not like science in which you have visible, hard proof to back up what we learn. e.g. in physics (mayb nt for quantum physics) if u pull a block with equal force on both sides its nt supposed to move. and it doesnt (unless u're inaccurate). in chemistry, phenolphtalein turns pink when u pour some into sodium hydroxied. in biology, you can observe many structures on the micro level. (you can even see a heart shaped blood vessel in a xsection of the pancreas through the microscope! :D)

okay nvm. i just suddenly had the ling gan to write this. hope this is interesting enough for leejianyang and mrjasonyu.

meanwhile, i'm still a guai econs student who has prepared for tmr's lesson :)
