Is Pi More Dog Than Cat?

When the feline behavior of the irrational and transcendental number π, which is stubborn in revealing some of its beautiful numerical or geometric properties, clashes with its oft-canine responses, which occasionally rewards those who have loyally spent their lifetime with the beloved constant with an aha! erection.
The number π is a love-hate mathematical constant among the educated lay public, who are delighted or disgusted by its manifold numerical and geometric properties. To number addicts, is pi more dog than cat? Or is it more cat than dog? To number phobics, pi is unquestionably worse than a pandemic.

Covid-🤥

When the coronavirus has had enough of the Liar- or Denier-in-Chief, who was given ample opportunity or warning to stop lying about the pandemic, and to start leading like a president in containing the crisis, prior to his infection.
Covid-19 couldn’t care less whether you are a president, prisoner, or priest; Covid-🤥 needed to give the president a wake-up call to prevent the country from witnessing a health apocalypse.

Singapore Black Friday

An imported American sales event that lures budget-conscious Singaporeans to move beyond window shopping into buying crap they don’t need at discounted prices, which could serve as some kind of stress therapy for overworked or unhappy workers.
From Halloween to Valentine’s Day to Singapore Black Friday, local businesses never fail to leverage on the attractions of foreign festivals, holidays, or events to profiteer from gullible citizens.

The common pattern of Covid-19 test results of most air travelers: tested negative pre-departure and again negative on arrival at their destination, but later tested positive (with zero symptoms) while serving their quarantine at home or in a hotel.

Follow the cloud, not the crowd.

To be sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit so that you may know God’s Will for you, instead of thinking that you need to be in a large gathering of fellow believers to feel God’s Presence and hear from Him.
God’s Presence or Power isn’t activated only when there’re more believers around, because He’s in their midst even when two or three of them come together—we need to follow the cloud, not the crowd.

Luck

What a Christian calls “the unmerited favor of Jesus,” because there are no coincidences in their life.
What the world calls “luck,” for the born-again believer, this word isn’t part of their spiritual vocabulary.

North Korea Math

A Communist version of Singapore Math—which is rehashed from the world's best math curriculums—to brainwash students of the power of math in propelling North Korea into a nuclear power.
Math educators believe that if North Korean students were to take part in international comparative studies like PISA and TIMSS, it wouldn't be surprising that they'd rank among the top ten, thanks to the high standard of North Korea math.
