A Tribute To Rommel...

Emo Post...

Was surfing around lately when I come across particular facebook group...

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=7413864955

Which kind of surprises me.

For those without an account, this is what it reads...



"In memory of one of 2PDF's greatest pride, Rommel, who had left us for the eternity on 12 March 2008.

He will always be remembered for his warmth and friendliness to colleagues; his cheerful and radiant disposition; and also his dedication and devotion to work.

Let us not grieve his death, but celebrate his life. Remember how he used to bring a smile to our faces and touched our hearts.

Rommel, rest well, and you will be missed."



I think anyone who knows him would agree that he is undeniable 1 of best (if not the best) dog we ever had.

Obedience: Perfect.
Friendliness: Perfect.
Performance: Near Perfect
Cuteness: 10 out of 10.

He's the kind that can instantly attracts you, the kind that just makes you want to cuddle/play with every time you see him. And he's definitely a dog that you'll have a special bond for even when you aren't his owner.



What's surprising is there are so many "old birds" from the group, MANY which I haven't even seen before (meaning they left BEFORE I even came).

Yet, they all still got the news about his death and set up this group in memory of Rommel. Shows how much he was love by everyone over the years...

:(

Anyway, I've consolidate some "real accounts" of what happened after his demise, how people felt, etc...

Wei Qi - Emo Post

Benjamin - One of the last person that saw Rommel...

Andrew - Left more than a year before me...

Mao Mao - (Same batch as Andrew) He really dares to say...

Haiz...

To this day, I still couldn't believe the stupid... urgh.... I still couldn't believe the "events" leading up to his death.

...

There will never be another as great as you again~

People stay 4-room HDB, I also stay 4-room HDB...

...

People NTU, I also NTU

...

People 22 year old, I also 22 year old...

How come so different?

I Just Can't Tell You...



就是开不了口 让你知道
你真的教得很烂你 知不知道
你教我的多重要, 我后悔又, 让你骗了
安静的听你乱教, 听到睡着, 你可知道

就是开不了口 让你知道
已经给了你那么多 的机会了
每次朋友都回家 只有我留 下来上课
这些我都做得到 但你又再让我失望
喔~~~

NTU Y1S1, Week 12 In Review

E Learning Week

Lobo Week...

...

Once again, I am deeply astonished by Dr Shi...

Sometimes, I really question myself.

What is it that he can see that we couldn't?

How is he able to look at things from a perspective that is so "basic common sense" to solve something so complicated?

How?!




这是他带给我的第三次震撼

The first was when I saw his lecture on Mathematical Induction. He uses something that even primary school kids know to get out of a seemingly "unproceed-able" question.

Using "K + 1" is always more than "K".

!!!

How can he see this kind of things?

...

...

This time round, he said "To prove 2 equation are equal to each other, just prove that one equation minus the other is equals to zero."

!!!

... And he used such a SIMPLE concept to solve the question.

A question I spent more than 2 hours racking my brains over with and couldn't get anywhere. A question which I think more than 90% of the class couldn't solve.

And he "breaks" it down just like that.

Using something that is so basic.

...

This is entirely different from someone being able to solve some trigonometric equations by identify parts where you can apply those "identities".

To me, being able to see that "K + 1 is always more than K" is much more impressive than being to able to spot something like "Sin square + Cos Square = 1".

It might not seem like a big deal reading about it; but when you are stumped at a question for hours and he solves it "just like that", the "trauma" is really unbearable...

...

我只能说,我真的佩服得五体投地




And I think I agree with Glenn. Haha.

Discrete Maths is probably my favourite module for the semester. It's very frustrating when you're stuck, but the satisfaction you get from solving a difficult question can be really great. It's like really "seeing the light" all of a sudden.

To quote: "It teaches you how to approach a problem from different angles and to think out of the box to find the solution. Its quite amazing to see the lecturer approach a difficult problem and come up with a stunner solution."

I think our lecturer actually made this module fun. (even though it's still really difficult)

...

Once again~

All Hail Professor Shi!
