YES. I've finished my study for tomorrow's test. Sort of.
I'm getting sick of studying so I was just flipping through the last set of notes on earthquakes. And there wasn't much to study anyway because I was busy playing games on the ipod touch during that lecture. It was some guest lecturer whose notes are so scientific. The first few slides are introduction to his company. Totally unrelated to earthquakes.

So there. I'm done with studying and thus, slacking.
But I did learn some new stuff! I have to remember that wind in the northern hemisphere deflects to the right and wind in the southern hemisphere deflects to the left.

And you know what?
Typhoons/hurricanes/cyclones (they are all different terms in different countries for cyclones) will never happen in Singapore! Even if they form near Singapore, they will never hit Singapore no matter how erratic their movements are.
Because firstly, cyclones move away from the equator and towards the east. Their movement is always polewards and eastwards. Secondly, for a cyclone to form or to maintain the cyclone, warm ocean current is needed. And that isn't available in the tropics.

Whoever said that Singapore is geologically disadvantaged?
Besides the size of our island and the lack of natural resources, I'd like to say that Singapore is strategically located on the world map.
