prove this prove that, prove left prove right

Had an interesting question in CS1231 paper today:
Prove that F : X > Y is one-to-one if and only if f(SnT) = f(S) n f(T), where S, T exists in the domain X.
Right.
Think think think.
Still thinking.
Okay, so I can’t figure it out (Redbull doesn’t make you smarter apparently). So I come up with some lame compositional story:
x exists in F(X) iff f(SnT) iff f(S) n f(T) iff f(S) and f(T). Therefore, etc, etc, etc, etc ……….. …………………….. …… ……………….. ………….. …………. ………………………. .. . ………….. ………… …………….. ……………. Hence, little red riding hood was eaten because the wolf was hungry.
I hope I pass. Please God, please let me pass this.
why we should do what we love

Just a couple of days back, I was thinking about stuff, about how certain things turn out the way they do, and why some are more successful than others. Then in a moment of clarity, I came up with the following:
Passion (creates) Goals (and drives) Motivation (that brings) Achievement (which reinforces) Passion
Doing something we like is infinitely better than doing something that we have to. Following our love or passion for something will bring greater success in a more natural way.
That aside, my exams have begun. I have a paper in another 12 hours… super sian. After that paper, I’ll have 2 more (easier ones though), so next week will be another busy week. The only reason why I even have the time to blog now is because I’m too tired to study for tomorrow’s paper (it’s already half past midnight, and I started at 8.30AM this morning) and too anxious to fall asleep. Nothing nice on TV. I’m starting to get the hang of discrete maths, and it’s a truly beautiful subject. Too bad I’m almost done with it.
My first paper was Software Engineering, open book exam. Super easy paper (thankfully). Hopefully it’ll make up for the marks that I’ll lose for the (severely lacking) project.
Candice got me a new body pillow and blanket. Really, I don’t know what I’d do without her. I hope her workload decreases soon. It’s her birthday next week, and my parents have decided to celebrate her birthday at Graze …. good stuff.
… Have to go for a drink with Ming Yee and KH after my exams. =)
