Applying Sine-Cosine Curve on Luck Thereom on RJC
Before I begin, I urge all of you to re-visit my March 28th entry on the graphical representation of life's ups and downs using the sine and cosine curves.
As most JC students would have already realised, as the first half of the academic year draws to a close, Raffles Junior College with the correct concoction of luck, smart moves made in the DSA (Direct-School Admission) warfare and a bit of natural talent from the Raffles families has seen them sweeping about 15 championship titles in the 'A' Division Sporting arena thus far.
Squash, Tennis, Table-tennis, Badminton boys' and girls' Team Champion (that's 8 titles in total), Rugby, Water Polo, Netball, Soccer boys' Team Champion, apparently Hockey boys' and girl' Team Champion and Softball boys' Team Champion. I probably would have left out some obscure sports, but that's besides the point.
15 freaking championships under her belt. Man, I must admit that I am jealous why am I not in RJC to share such glory and enjoy the possible fruits of labour (e.g. half-day or full-day off school).
Fortunately, Victoria Junior College stopped their winning streak this afternoon when their basketball girls' team narrowly beat RJC's team 53-50 to clinch the Basketball Girls' Team Championship title. You guys should be there to see how "devastated" and "appalled" the Rafflesian supporters look when the whistle signifying the end of the match (and hopefully the end of their winning streak) blew, sealing the fate of the RJC's girls' basketball team.
I was there, and instead of adopting a neutral stand, I was rooting for VJC all the while.
Because I just want RJC's winning streak to end.
Call me a sore loser for all you want. I am patriotic. I hate the fact that we are losing every single match this year (especially when all losses are to one and only one institution). I am sure the other JCs feel the same too. RJC robbed ACJC their rugby and tennis boys' championships and the traditional soccer powerhouses VJC and MJC were all trashed by RJC's boys' team. And notoriously they stole the Netball championship from us.
That's why you get AC and VJ students supporting our Tennis' girls during their final game. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and for this afternoon, VJC was my friend.
I am utterly relieved that they have managed to stop RJC's winning streak. At least this shows that RJC has probably ran out of luck. And if you recall my theory of the Sine-Cosine curve on Luck, RJC will therefore, by induction, experience her losing streak until she reaches her lowest point before things pick up again.
To all those demoralised Hwa Chong, AC, and VJ students out there, fret not! RJC's luck is running out! I am certain that they cannot possibly sustain their luck for the remaining sport competitions. Because on the Sine-Cosine curve of Luck, their curve has just reached their maximum value (a turning point), so things will now be going downhill for them! Negative gradient, and becoming more and more negative. All the way until their lowest.
And I forsee that their bad luck streak will continue for quite some time, affecting much of RJC, be it sports or academics. They have reached an all-time high in their school history. And you have learnt the following in your Mathematics lessons:
The larger the value of n is, the higher the peak of the curve would be. Similarly, the lower the trough of the cruve would be. For example, when n equals to 10, the highest point would have the value of y=10, while the lowest point would have the value of y=-10.
Applying this to my Theory of Sine-Cosine Curve on Luck, winning 14 championships equates to a very high maximum value on the curve, which in turn would mean that when they fall, they will also fall to an all-time new low.
Maybe their 'A' Levels result would suck. Maybe they would lose Judo, Canoeing, Air Rifle and Track-and-Field championships (though I am very positive that Hwa Chong would win TnF for sure). Maybe next year VJC or MJC will win Soccer, Hwa Chong winning back Netball, Tennis and Water Polo, and AC being recrowned as the 'A' Div rugby champions.
To those non-Rafflesians out there, have faith!!! Lady Luck can't possibly keep similing at them all the time. I am sure she's fair and just! It's your turn next!!
