Friends = free rides?!?!?!

Singapore's small enough that trying to cramp friends into a car is usually something not very welcome even when presented with the right opportunities, and to build up to that stage usually means you're really good friends with that person.

But I speak in the Singaporean context.

Here, I've gotten a grand total of three free car rides (excluding the one that the apartment manager gave us to familiarise with nearby amenities - and to pay rent ^^;) and these are friends I don't already know for more than six months, like just weeks. It seems that they're a lot more open to giving people rides here, since it's such an ubiquitous transport.

In other news, I've got to remember how to do a roll on concrete properly. I knocked my knee (specifically, the point in my right leg just underneath the kneecap) and that was a week ago, during Friday of HvZ week. Now, touching it gives a YEOUCH response so I've got to be careful not to overdo it.

In yet more other news, I just finished the mid-term test for MAT140. While I don't say that I've gotten it all right, I do think I've prepared fairly enough for everything, except proofing questions for matrices.

Really, how could I forget that in the case of AC = CB, not only will C = I yield you A = B, but A = C^-1 will also lead to C^-1C = I, therefore making CB = I and making B also = C^-1??? For a while I thought if ONLY C = I will A = B... zzz. Since I was supposed to DISPROVE the theory, then I should say if AC = CB, A = B ONLY when C = I and A = C^-1, and everything else...

Shucks. How do i prove everything else =_=;

Ah well, test done. Just wait to get less than perfect score then >_>;
