New discovery in mathematics

There is a new equation that I learned yesterday, like how post it, x-ray, and all the other accidental inventions was discovered, I have never planned nor wished to discover it. It’s a lot simpler to explain that quantum physics and compared to genetic algorithm this one is so much easier to understand. Well its not part of the branch of evolutionary computations, but it happens in a case to case basis. The rules are actually simple, just a disclaimer this equation is not a theorem for the simple reason that there are additional assumptions to consider and a lot of arbitrary values just pops up on the other side of the equation. The equation is:

15mins = 24hours + 264MYR++

Allow me to explain the equation above. There is a famous saying that to know the value of 1 second ask a silver medalist in a race. To know the value of 15 minutes, ask nobody, since nobody has just been left by the plane. Well I may have several reasons why I was left out, but the bottom line is that I really have no valid excuse. So for nobody’s dignity’s sake, the real reason for this will not be revealed in this blog entry.

I missed my check in time by 15 minutes, the consequence was more than what I was willing to pay, but I paid it anyway since it was my fault. I need to wait for another 24 hours because Malaysia Airlines only flies once everyday to Manila. So when I missed my flight, I went to the Malaysia Airlines ticketing office to have it rebooked to the following day. They charged me certain fees, I’m guessing its rebooking fee and no show me, it cost me around MYR 264 or USD75. It’s still cheap compared to other airlines like Singapore Airlines who charged a friend of mine SGD 300+ for a missed flight. As I said, it’s not a theorem since my 15 minutes cost less than my friend’s 15 minutes.

After all the rebooking errands have been done, the next problem is just where to sleep. I’ve seen some people, pretending to be Tom Hanks in the movie “The Terminal”, sleeping on the benches of the airport, not a very pleasant sight to see, so I never considered it as an option. Finding a hotel in KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) is not a problem since you can do spontaneous booking from the hotel booths available there. In fact, there is a hotel inside the airport already, but I never went into a hotel. I opted, to sleep over a friend’s house, since the offer was made a few days before I ever went to KL.

Well, regardless of how much the 15 minutes actually cost me, past is past and lesson learned. I’m writing this blog entry somewhere in the South China sea in between Malaysia and the Philippines. The price of the 15 minutes has already been paid for and the lessons have already been learned. Right now I’m just so excited to go back to the place I call home.
