thermo quote

“Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you
don’t understand it at all. The second time you go through it, you think
you understand it, except for one or two points. The third time you go
through it, you know you don’t understand it, but by that time, you are so used
to the subject, it doesn’t bother you anymore. "

- Arnold Sommerfeld (a famous physicist)

oh ya.. here's a pic i found in NY connecxion's fickr account:

haha :) it was taken during teacher's day- i had to go off to Sentosa for a project stuff... btw, the dog's name is Hercules. eh.. As i figured out(fortunately not by experience), you'll understand it when he bites you...

Yesterday was cool.. it started with me deciding to go to school to study some physics early in the morning. But i ended up reading at about 1030... so, i tried to do some problems, but ended up deriving the MIs (ref to previous post). Yup.. then, i went for lunch, and got back to the library.. And met up with qiuhan and her frends @ biz. And studied physics till about 830pm... and then , as i was walking to the biz busstop, i saw my C-Language lecturer filing up his water bottle! Initially, i wanted to say hi to him, but he was facing the cooler.. so i just walked past. And then, somehow, after walking for some distance, i turned around and went back and greeted him. and guess what: I got a lift till Buona Vista! :) haha.. so cool! Ya.. then i took 105 from there... i didn't really take note of the time taken, but just felt that it was much faster..but ya.. it tends to get a bit crowded at the orchard area. No wornder there's always no seats when i try to transfer to it from 151(that's why i prefer transferring to 156 instead:) )

wah.. haven't been blogging for almost a week.. haha.. somehow it doesn't seem so long to me...

I'm in CL now... mugging for physics and i've a great news to report! I just managed to derive the expression for the MI of a sphere! wah.. i've been trying to do it since JC times..but always ended up with funny expressions... haha.. but it was challenging, cos the method i used (i did single integration, not double) made me integrate cosine x to the power of 5... haha.. then i used reduction formula..

updates on Exams: EG1108.. kinda screwed up, but i'm having a positive outlook, since i thought i screwed up my mid term EG too and in the end...

MA1505.. ahhhaaa....had a good time. But form what i found out from mid term, the ppl in my cohort are quite good in maths. So, ya.. not expecting too much..

CS1101c: oh, erm.. as usual... God bless me :)

PC1431: mugging for it now... well.. actually going for luch. hope some canteen is open, or i'll have to settle for mac...

YaY! my mom let me go for Singapore Marathon!!! Can you believeit?? the whole thing only took like less than 5 mins lor.. Surprising! haha... It's time to gear up :)

LT-31

whoa.. today is quite a cool day! early morning went for CS revision lecture!! whoa.. first time i didn't feel sleepy at all! yes! throughout the 3 hours! gosh..he was super entertaining. And i really feel that i've finally understood pointers. The session was super usefull, as in it enables you to see the big picture of the module...

Then, went to gym with my friend.. and i ran 6.3km in 31 mins... that's slightly less than 2 mins per 400m lap...After that, i bathed, had a filling meal at Megabites and then i'm now here. At LT31 :) This is a superb place to study in!!!

oh ya.. another new song in my playlist... This one goes out to all my friends...

woohoo!! i just passed up my paper 3 for writing module!! that means that i now have 4 modules left to concentrate on for the rest of this semester. And i'm left with less than 2 weeks :)

A new addition to my favorites list:



I think about the little things that make life great..
And I'll hold on to it.

new desktop

I changed my desktop!! :) :

it's on vista, so the clock runs. haha.. cool, right? click on it for a bigger version!! v. cool :PpP

Just went to the writing centre.. It was just SO helpful!!! wow!! i think this is the best conference i've ever had... really makes me wanna go back again, for my future writing assignments. But this paper 3...i think i need to go there again leh.. 50 min was CLEARLY not enough. Well... i can' go there again today, since it's already closed... i would have made some changes and gone there agai, if they were open till 5pm... but ya. haha.. i'm asking too much... It's also fully booked on monday leh.. i've no lessons in the morning, so can chiong my essay till 5pm. oh mans...hope i won't screw up this paper...

uqr down:)

YaY!! haha.. half my stress is gone-ded now :) let me see.. i passed up my UQR term paper yesterday morning, although it seems to me that i passed it up way before... And.. i had my CS practical jus now, so that's over too. So, itinerary for this week's journey would include the physics tutorial to be done by tommoroow, and maths tutorial, also to be done by tommoroow and my uwc paper 3 to be done by monday, for which i need to come up with my writing centre draft by tmr, so that i can work on it during the weekend. yup.. that's about it. I really feel a lot better now ;) a lot a lot :)

effectively, i now have 5 modules, so, that's one down. And on monday, i'll be done with another one. YaY! so hapee... but i hope i get a decent grade for this semester.. i think my cs and uwc and uqr modules are going to pull it down. And my ma too, if i don't act fast enough to pull it up...

Thanks Qiuhan, Edwin, n others who 'kept me alive' for the week:)

thought of this:
Which is the most flammable place in Singapore? Ans: Bukit Panjang (cos it is BP mah...)

Thanks Mich n Edwin, for your comments! :) This signifies the start of my uni friends tagging my blog yay! =D

I'n now working on my term paper for my transportation module. I feel like an MRT speeding down the track.

oh mans... i'm having a terrible time with all my 6 modules. Stayed up all night yesterday (had a 10-minute sleep at 5 to 510am) to do my Paper 3. And finally managed to pas it up today. Well, we could collect our paper 2 today. Should be hard for him as well, since he has had to mark, and look through our scripts and prepare for our conferences...Well, passing up my conference copy today was quite a relief. But i now have to concentrate on my trasportation module paper. 5000 words, by monday. And i'll be having the CS practical exam on wenesday,tfor which people would normally be mugging for during this weekend. Oh well... better luck to me next sem.

This is really beginning to feel like a marathon. I feel like giving in all that i have left, and try to achieve what i can...It's all gonna be over in less than a month ;)

This is totally sick... Everyone's using these holidays to prepare for the upcoming cs practical and the exams.. and i'm here, stuck at my 2 term papers...great.

another thing... i wonder why i always seem to have other things at the time of uwc social gatherings... but this time, it's Mr Blair's lecture ;) well, i'll be equally glad/excited at both events.. guess i'll have to try for the next gathering, if he ever has one...

and yep, my usp modules wil be coming to an end, soon:)

slept at 4+am.. woke up dunno when...let's see how today goes:)

for u ;)

Friends are friends forever together 'till the end.
You promised me that you would always be my friend.
One day something changed I'm not sure what it was.
I lost you on that day and the reason was because
it was a late dark night and we had a stupid fight.
And for some reason, I don't know why, we couldn't make it right.

We went our separate ways.
This went on for days and days.
I made new friends and you made yours,
but that hole in my heart could not be filled for that hole was only yours.
Times got really tough,
my road of life was, oh, so rough.
I needed friends, not the kind you see from day to day,
but the kind that will always and forever stay.

Memories were all I had
and Just the thought of them made me All sad.
I Cried every night wondering how to make it right.
I wish you could erase that day N that fight.
Would you please forgive me? I don't know where To start.
It Hurts me so bad to have this hole in my heart

I don't want our friendship to totally end.

I need you! You are my best friend!
So can we make a promise to stay together 'till the end?
A vow to each other to ALWAYS be BEST FRIENDS?

wishlist

All i ask for now:
well, just one thing:
To get a place in PGP.
and this will give me so much more time to run, time to work on my sch stuff...and just so much more...

enjoy while u can

This week is gonna be crazy. UQR final exm on 5th, and Presentation report due on 6th and Paper 3 draft copy due on 9th. Yes, that means that i won;t get to celebrate deepavali at all this year, like all the previous years, and that it's gonna be this way for the next ~ 4 years, till i graduate from university.. And to add to the wonderful list, i've a term paper due on 12 th Nov. And a killer practical exam on 14th Nov. For my dear peeps on JCs right now,(most probably coming on to a uni) i've this advice to give: enjoy yourselves, WHILE YOU CAN.

Was just reading some of my friends' blogs.. destressing... haha... hew r a few parts of some posts which really 'moved' me:

No point concealing identities here, even if i want to, cos if you just google the phrases you're easily going to get what you want. so here:

From Gloria, I remember her as the cheerful n bubbly girl from OG12.

its yoga's bdae too!
HAPPY BDAE YOGA!
havent seen you for a while.
hope you are fine!=)

Gosh... this post really moved me.. Thanks lots Gloria...SO SO GLAD that you remembered my birthday, eventhough it was on your graduation day :) Really glad that you fitted in so well into the nyjc's culture. And that's one thing that really makes me proud of U :D

Qiuhan's blog:saw this ~2 days b4, i think... The video so cool!!! oh mans... really makes me wanna take business modules...

I feel dead right now. Absolutely dead. Like Bilbo says in the Fellowship of the Ring, I need a holiday. A very long holiday. Well, i guess this is one wonderful thing about holidays. You don't have holiday homeworks. well, at least i'm glad that my usp stuff will be ending by 16th nov, so that i can concentrate on the other subjects' final term exams.
