I was talking with my colleague this morning while smoking outside the office building.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ME: Whenever i was about to go on leave, problem (at work) will arise.
Adriana: Why?
ME: It happens on my 1st trip back followed by the 2nd trip and this morning... stupid things start coming... Although its not a big deal but its still an issue waiting to be solved.
Adriana: Do you believe in Murphy's law?
ME: Huh?! Whats that?
Adriana: When you think something will happen, it will happen.
ME: Sounds interesting, i will check it out. (What is this 'formula' that i didnt studied before in my 5 years of engineering studies?)

Wikipedia - my favorite online encyclopedia.
Murphy's law is an adage in Western culture that broadly states, "if anything can go wrong, it will."
It is also cited as: "If there's more than one possible outcome of a job or task, and one of those outcomes will result in disaster or an undesirable consequence, then somebody will do it that way"; "Anything that can go wrong, will," the similar "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong," or, "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way."
In a less dramatic fashion, the law can be expressed as "Anything that has a probability of happening greater than 0 can and will happen.
No exceptions."
The saying is sometimes referred to as Sod's law or Finagle's law.

No wonder i didnt studies this before la... I cant imagine what would happen if any engineer were to be taught / adopt such law.
I like it - I LOVE to study LIFE PHILOSOPHY and i HATE engineering!!!
Similar type of law are much more easier than Kirchhoff's laws, Henry's law, Hooke's law, Fourier’s law etc... I dont even recall what they mean by now!!!
In my day to day life, did i actually applied those laws that i learnt in school... I DONT THINK SO... Not practical lah!
Oh! It makes me think of CALCULUS!!!
Oh! It makes me think of CALCULUS!!!
I hate LIMITS, i HATE integrals, i HATE derivatives AND i HATE infinite series!!!
