Maths is fun! ^^
starting to really enjoy the lectures these few days...
fmaths i just simply so fun haha. kinda like the essence of why i enjoy maths so much. esp when the questions is one of those where have to use those unconventional methods which we won't normally think of. oh, the satisfaction of solving them. only prob is the amount of paper i waste. it seems that i will crush one piece of paper due to carelessness or plain don't-know-how-to-do for every piece i complete. first writing pad almost finished in like around 2 weeks. scary... still, i like it ^^
and yeah, on the lectures... i really like the two fmaths lecturers i've had. there's mr ngoh, who imo gets the point across very well... don't really know how to describe his teaching style but i understand and feel very comfortable in his lectures... then there's mr ng. with all due respect i don't think he gets the point across as well as mr ng but he's just as good imo. it's obvious that his maths is really strong from the way he try to show us some short-cuts we can take for certain questions (i just love that haha... no more having to show every single step like in sec sch. and we're even encourage to skip steps... "as fmaths students u should do this question in less than 3 steps" he says lol... nice ^^) and is he funny, joking around frequently...
learning has never been so fun for such a long time =)
physics lecture are pretty nice too. things are clearly pointed out and learning new things is fun haha... and physics is pretty much like maths =P.
chem is kinda disappointing though. so far the lectures have been covering on what had already been thought (or maybe it's just cos mr won gave us extra info last time) and the lecturers... don't really like them =(... they ain't tt bad (at least they're not picky and grumpy etc) but lessons ain't too fun... oh well
well, my point is that i'm starting to enjoy life in tj now. i'd definitely hate to leave after 3 months... think i'd definitely miss maths lectures... will miss lt 2 (the fmaths lecture room haha) and my favourite seat there... will miss the canteen, the food and my favourite seat there as well (haha... so many fave seats now)... then what i'd miss most would probably be the time spent with lymon and aaron in the canteen either eating, doing tutorials or just plain talking crap. ash and lik's more with their og now so it's been the 3 of us together most of the time during our free periods... only 2-3 weeks but being in their company have been a truly good time.
i can't deny i'm starting to waver a bit. most probably cos the past few days have been early without tutorials or ccas so i'm not feeling the pinch of travelling. but until i can solve the travelling (very slim chance though) i know i definitely should not stay cos once the tutorials, cca and exams/tests come along i'd struggle big time. perhaps i'd try out different routes in the next few days. unless a miracle happen though i'd still probably stick by my decision...
and just had swimming for pe today. really bo liao, going to the pool, having to pay 50 cents then swim 50 metres and we're done. but at least there's no need to run haha ^^... and it'd be swimming for pe for the term so i'd not need to run until after 3 months. yay! but wow, seeing some of the swimmers marked as 'expert'. so impressed with their stroke. competitive-style breaststroke just seemed so natural to them (can't believe i feel so tired swimming it after seeing it). oh well, guess this pe lesson today was just a way to mask 'swimming trials' lol.
