::The final round
We didn't even get into the finals for Computron, but I was glad cause the last round was a quiz round (the kind with an audience) and I do not like quiz rounds because I am easily confused and easily stressed. And anyway, our team adopted an *ahem* too defensive strategy for the first round, and the second round had lots of maths questions and I suck at maths (I think I'm dyscalculic anyway so it doesn't matter). So we snuck away after the results for the second round were announced.
The questions for the Secondary school round were like crap easy. Please, they're Secondary school students, not Primary school students. They aren't that stupid.
I mean, questions like: If your computer freezes what should you do?
1) Something like call the customer support or something like that
2) Kick it
3) Can't remember what they put here.
4) Reboot it
Us troublemakers in the audience were yelling, "Kick it! Kick it!"
The JC level questions weren't so bad either.
Questions like: Which one is not a programming language?
1) Can't remember (one of these 3 was Algol, that's all I can remember)
2) Can't remember
3) Can't remember
4) HTML
The answer should be pretty obvious by now.
In contrast, the tertiary level questions were crap hard. I felt so lucky I wasn't up there. But you won't see any sample questions cause I sneaked away halfway.
Anyway, the door gifts were like a whole stack of computer magazines. Yes, no product samples, just magazines. Haven't started reading them yet. All I know is that they weighed a fucking ton.
The prizes for the audience were generously contributed by one of the sponsors. Guess what it was? A handy all purpose.....toolset.
Yes, not even a thumb drive. =_="'
Who won? Dunno. I told you we snuck away halfway. ;)

While we were sitting in the empty lecture theatre waiting for the final round to begin, one of my guy friends told me: "Your (as in a guy's) wife is not the one you love most but the one that is most suitable for you." In his opinion, it was because opposites attract, and even though a guy may like a certain girl, he may feel that they may not get along well together in a long-term relationship because of differences in their family background, attitude towards life, thinking, etc.
Kind of interesting because all the while, I've only heard the females' side of the story. At the same time, I wonder how some females would feel if they knew that, cause females tend to become totally devoted to their man in a long term relationship, and the common mentality among females is that they should be the only one in their man's heart. I wonder if they could actually accept the idea that there might be another girl in their man's heart and that he might love that girl more than he loved them.
But again, it kind of makes sense. As for me I don't know what I would think. I guess I'll only know when the time comes. But anyway, I guess it's a good thing to know, at least one can have a more balanced view, and can be able to make a better decision if needed.
I guess it's all in the mental "programming". But why wire men and women differently if they're supposed to end up together?
The entire idea made me a little confused. Guess I'm not mature enough to understand things like that yet.
