Creativity 1 - Lecture What?
Title: Lecture什么
Original: 黑色幽默
Lyrics: Describes the emotion of a student in a lecture hall, but don't understand what the lecturer is talking about...
难过 是因为听了很久
是因为想了太多
搞不懂你说什么
你说 苦笑常常陪着我
我读到有点勉强
该不该现在FAIL了我
不想太多 我想一定是我听错弄错搞错
"拜托 我想是你的脑袋有问题"
随便说说 其实我早己经不会不懂CATCH不到BALL
只是我怕眼泪撑不住
不懂 你在LECTURE什么
想通 却又再考倒我
"下课 你想很久了吧？"
我不想拆穿你
当作 是考试的玩笑
想通 却又再考倒我
"要PASS 你想很久了吧？"
败给你的LECTURE什么
我真想问你在LECTURE什么

A Scenario From Class Today...
Lecturer explains...
"So let's go through the steps 1 by 1...
Now, the first thing I do here is to change A to A + 1. A is the same as A + 1, just that we're not writing it there. I'm writing it there so that I can insert additional variables, and then manipulate...
So... 1?
How I obtain 1?
1 can be obtain from B + B'. Okay?
......
So of course you may ask 'how do I know I have to put B + B' there', well...
Uh... you...
You know because you know you have to do that in order to get to here (*underline the answer)
Okay? Haha... Alright...
(*Whole Class Stun)
Haha... alright? So you just have to do that to get to there alright...
When you have to prove something you have to prove something."

First Day Of School...
Hmm... 2 words for ya. "Very Slack".
Haha... actually never do much. First lesson started at 1130... so I really took my time for this one. Saw Guan Wei and of course my Poly Friends! To think 3 years later, we still have the chance to sit inside the same lecture room together... Sob... sob... (overcome with emotions)
... humph... anyway, it's just a bit of introductory lecture, then lunchtime. Went to collection our Matriculation Card! (YEAH! Cheaper movies from now on! Think got Student Meal also! Wooooo!)
Went to have lunch, then walk around the campus (from North Spline to South Spline until we reach the Arts & Social College... -_-
Went to explore the bookstore, computer store... then it's time for the afternoon lecture. Also very relaxing... basically some introduction and we were showed something interesting known as the "Simpson Paradox".
To keep it simple, it basically tell you that some things are not as simple as it looks. If A1 is better than B1, and A2 is better than B2, (A1 + A2) is not necessary better than (B1 + B2). And people can use this as statistics to lie. Something like that lah. Haha.
And that concludes the day. Of course, this is just the "intro" week so that's why it's so slack. No former lessons yet...
Every monday from now onwards are going to be quite bad for me I think. It's a "Mad Maths Monday", because I have lots and lots of maths classes on monday! Everything is MATHS! I shall name this as the "3M phenomenon" if I develop Monday Blues.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is something "interesting" I saw on Benjya Blog... translated it into English. I shall name it as the "Identification Law of Undergraduate Year". The Law helps you correctly deduce the year of the undergraduate simply from their behaviour.
1) Law of Sleeping
Year 1 - After lights out, goes to bed.
Year 2 - After lights out, doesn't go to bed.
Year 3 - During classes, use the table as his bed.
Year 4 - During classes, still sleeping in his bed.
2) Law of Attending Class
Year 1 - "Why are you late?"
Year 2 - "Why didn't you go to class today?"
Year 3 - "Did you go to class today?"
Year 4 - "Why you go class today?"
3) Law of Exams
Year 1 - "What? We're having a Calculus test next week?"
Year 2 - "What? We're having a Calculus test tomorrow?"
Year 3 - "What? We're having a Calculus test later?"
Year 4 - "What? The test we did just now was Calculus?'

Mad Maths...
So, I've been messing around with their "academic online system" (aka "Edventure") for the past few days and...
Well, it bears an uncanny resemblance to Singapore Poly "blackboard"... heck, it's basically THE SAME THING! It's probably just like a new version with some new features...
Anyway, I'm just doing the preparation stuffs... Like customizing the layout, deleting those unnecessary tabs, adding people to my "friends list" and of course...
Browsing through the course materials.
...
My first semester is going to be pretty crazy I think. Ignoring the fact that I've been away from school for so long, it's basically "2 semesters clumped into 1 due to the module exemptions". That should still be manageable... but guess what?
There are 2 maths modules...
...
OK... nevermind. Calm down... calm down... Let's take a look at what it is...
So I manged to find the "Module Overview" for the 2 maths module I'll be taking and...
...
...
...
HOLY ****!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CSC103 FOUNDATION MATHEMATICS
Calculus: Limits and continuity, Derivatives, Integration, Ordinary differential equations. Linear algebra: Complex numbers, vectors, matrices, systems of linear equations. Probability and statistics: Summarizing data, probability theory, random variables and distributions, estimation theory, random processes.
CSC106 DISCRETE MATHEMATICS
Sets, operations on sets, Cartesian products, power sets. Elementary number theory: modulo arithmetic. Mathematical Logic: propositional logic, predicate logic. Proof techniques, mathematical induction. Recursion. Functions: definition of functions, bijective functions, composite functions. Relations: properties of relations, equivalence relations, composite relations, partial ordering, total ordering. Introduction to graph theory: simple graphs, complete graphs, isomorphism, weighted graphs, paths, circuits. Counting techniques.

The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor
Participants: Jansen (Rare Guest), Yao Peng, Edwin, Benjamin, Wei Long, Jia Yun, Edmund, Kenny, Samuel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plot Summary: A group of Chinese soldiers organization are seeking the "Potion of Immortality" to revive the dead Emperor and rule over the world... Who can stop him?
If you look at the trailer, it's like watching 10 different movies "rojak" together. It goes from the Asian to the Western world, from the ancient to modern age, from swords to guns, from the land to the skies.
It's not until you see the movie itself that you finally see how they can mange to piece such radically different things together. Still, I have to say that the storyline is quite ridiculous and overly-exaggerated. The Mandarin they speak (except for Jet Li) are also too "robotic" and "westernize" for my liking.
If you can ignore that, this is really not a bad movie. And if you like to watch huge explosions, magical spells, giant mythical creatures and some epic battle scenes, this is the movie for you!
Almost everything of about it is BIG scale and massive, especially when you watch it in the cinema. The Snow Avalanche and the chase on the Shanghai streets are the best parts of this movie in my opinion.
If you want to enjoy this movie, then don't read into the plot too deeply. Don't think about why she didn't do this or why he don't do that. (E.G Why don' the Emperor just transform into a dragon and burn them all in the final battle)
Just sit back, relax and enjoy the CGI, spectacular special effects and massive scale of the movie.
Rating: 3.5 / 5
(Ignore the Story, Enjoy The Action)
