Another weekend, another waterfall.

This time it was Lepok Falls in Ulu Langat. To me, this trek was abit challenging. The trail leading to the waterfall was challenging, so was it when we we're decending. I think it rained the day before, thats why the trail was all muddy and slippery. There was this one part where it was a steep climb up a very muddy trail. It was quite tiring going up, coming back down was a different case. Miss a step and you'll be rolling all the way down!

Anyways, we reached the waterfalls and, as usual, it was beautiful! Here's a picture of the waterfall:

heee....

i like waterfalls! The water is so cooling and very clean. I like the feeling of just dipping your feet in a stream of water. Anyways, last sunday, i went to Sg. Chiling with Zhiong, Koroush, Nis and Nis's CG friends. I didnt get all their names though but i know there was Yunny, Jennifer, Kevin and Mike(not sure)

The waterfalls is nice, water is cooling and clean. You can see little fishes here and there too. I even jumped off this small cliff into the water! That part wasnt that deep, about half a foot higher then my own height, but i still asked Kourosh to swim close to where i dived, just incase it really was deep. I cant swim, btw! Sad right? ahahah

So yeah, we swam around for a couple of hours. Ate some species of fish in a can - forgot if it was tuna or sardine or salmon. Soon, it looked like iT was going to rain, so we decide to head back home. Nothing much about the way back except Nis stopped pretty often to take pics of the flora and fauna.

Here's some pictures:



 
heee...

Last tuesday was Kelly's birthday. A whole bunch of us got together to throw her a surprise! The plan was that i asked her out on a date on her birthday. Then, i'd bring her to some place while Nis, Josephine, Amir "Pinnochio", Kourosh and Dennis sneak up behind her and splash water all over her!

It worked!!! Poor Kelly, she just took a shower and got all wet again. Thank God she wasnt all dressed-up. She got her revenge anyways, gave us all a big and long hug while she's still all wet. So, after all the excitement, Kelly went back up to dry off and all that while the rest of us set up this "mini-picnic". Amir "Pinnochio" managed to get this carpet, so we used it.

It was weird having a picnic at night but it was great. Everyone kept on taking pictures so by the end of it, most of us we're seeing stars.....literally. Nis bought American Chocolate Cake and its really nice! It was a really long time since i ate American Chocolate Cake. Anyways, i kinda felt bad cause i didnt chip in for the cake and i still havent paid my share of it yet. I was broke.....literally. As in, absolutely no money in my wallet that night.

As usual, here's some picture of that nights' event:

*Coming Soon*

Next trekking outing: Lepok Falls *Coming Soon*

life is not all its hyped up to be....
be grateful, dont ever complain about life...

nis and i went skating, we held hands, we were happy, we let go and...

dreams came crashing down,
burdens of my reality settled firmly on my shoulders.

i'll do what humans do best, i'll keep on trying,
even if it tears my heart into pieces...

Re: Optimal Production Levels for CD-ROM Games

 

Dear Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus Students: 

I am the president of a discount computer game company. Our sales have been suffering for the last year because our average production cost has risen to 9.60 RM per game, exceeding our sales price of 9.40 RM each. We currently sell 1000 units per day. In addition to losing money, we are in some other serious trouble because our financial controller took a job with a competitor, and subsequently all our cost-accounting records mysteriously disappeared.

 

About a month before the controller left, he proposed that we could get "out of the red" by dropping our price to 7.90 RM per game. He indicated that by dropping our price, we would be able to secure additional customers that would result in sales increasing to 2000 units per day. In turn, he said, we would start garnering profits of 200 RM per day at the 2000 unit sales level. Of course I immediately dismissed his idea because the 7.90 RM price is 1.70 RM less than our average production cost. To me it seemed obvious that this price decrease would only exacerbate our losses. In hindsight, however, I am wondering if maybe our controller was right after all. That is why I am bringing your team into the picture.

 

I need your expertise in advanced functions and calculus to determine, first, if we can make a profit of 200 RM per day with a 7.90 RM price and sales of 2000 units per day, and second, what the optimum production level would be at the 7.90 RM price. The only cost-accounting information that I can share with you is that our variable costs depend solely on the square of the number of games made. I do not know what our fixed costs are. I would appreciate it if all of your calculations for cost, revenue and profit were kept on a per-day basis as that is what I am used to working with.

 

Please prepare a 10 minute presentation and short 1-2 page summary report that explains all your work as you:

 

a. determine the cost structure (fixed and variable costs) for manufacturing games;

b. confirm or deny that it is possible to have a profit of 200 RM per day at the 7.90 RM price and 2000 unit sales level;

c. determine the optimum level of production/sales at the 7.90 RM price; and

d. describe how it is possible that dropping the price below the current average price can increase the profits of my company.

 

Good luck and thank you in advanced for all your hard work.

 

Yours truly,

anyone wanna help out???

• do you believe in converts? as in those that would leave a religion to join a different one. for me, i've never agreed with it much. i mean, just say a christian converts into a muslim. okay fine, everythings ok. but whats stopping him/her from converting to a 3rd religion? he/she obviously had the will to convert but, yeah, whats stopping him/her from converting to another religion again? what you go to say about it?

• okay, its general knowledge that no religion on earth condoles gays or lesbians or same sex marriage. so question is, what would you do if you saw any of the above? there is this case in canada where this guy just shot a gay for no apparent reason. when trialed in court, he pleaded not guilty and testified that he had done no crime. Even the judge was speechless. apparently, he got only 12 years in jail and the judge said that if there was a heavier punishment he would certainly have given it to him. but what do you think? if you see a gay or lesbian in the street, what would you do?
• i know what i would do....just ignore him/her. he/she is still a human with a life. who am i to take it? i wouldnt make friends or wtv with gays and such and that is my choice as it was your choice to be the way you are. so yeah, thats what i would do. just ignore it.
