NTU Year 1 Semester 1 Week 3 review

I would probably say honeymoon period would probably end this week or next week.

Why do I say so?

This is because the first few lectures introduce back those stuff which I've already learnt in A level 3-4 years ago. Except for computing though.

Coming up... New topics and knowledge will be taught and it's time to put 101% attention during lectures. No more ‘魂不守舍’ liao... Haha!

Physics II: Optics has ended. Personally, I found the lecturer quite nice. He really articulate well, simplifying looks-chim concepts so that we can understand better. Also, his general knowledge also great. He used these to 'entertain' us at times so that not to let us fall asleep. The new lecturer, erm I can understand 90% of his chinese English...

Chemistry: Still the same. Am I going to re-learn the stuff, which took me 2 years during A level, in just less than half a year? The good thing is that they are testing on concepts, not on memory and accuracy... 早讲啦!弄到我给人家笑……

Computing: In chinese, 又爱又恨!Love and hate it. Reason being computing is very logical, yet I can't find my error in my program write-up! Very sian when this happens.

Effective communication: Same as week 1. Shan't comment too much here.

Lab: This week's lab work was fun! I had the chance to enjoy what's being 'frictionless'. Haha!

It's always feel good to help others

“助人为快乐之本”

新领悟?其实很小就懂这个道理了
可是最近我又重新发现这个大道理!

通常若有人问我一些问题
内容是我很清楚很明了的

我都会尽以最简单的方法解释给他们听
就算他们听不懂
我还是会用更精简的方法引导他们
直到他们明白为止
永不放弃

然后他们都会说“哦,明白了,谢谢”
我会莫名其妙地开心去的
会自
high一下

这就是助人为快乐之本

我不会以勾心斗角的角度去看待
就是讲这方面人家清楚了
考试的时候又有多一个对手=.=
我发现其实我头脑很简单下


最近真的很多人过来问我关于数学、物理的东西咯
都要晕倒了

Optical illusion?!


Do you see her turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

捞钱

算算下
这半年来赚的钱够我花的……
几乎是超过我想象的薪水了

来看下
一月(半个月罢了):448
二月:1319.50
三月:1330
四月:1277.50
五月:1193.50
六月:913.50
七/八月:1526
总共:8008

加上老板要加如额外14.5%的钱给我
总数不止8008啦!哈哈
但是呢,真正进银行才只有$6557
扣掉家用、手机费、吃喝玩乐、车马费
其实更少了

但是酱看来
我还是有钱出国旅游咯!!!
哈哈!希望梦想能实现咯!
哈哈!

NTU Year 1 Semester 1 Week 2 review

A stressful week it was! Had 2 make up Physics lectures (= 3 hrs). So practically except for Wednesday, it's 100% full day for me for this week. Peng soon... =.=

Physics II: The lecturer is another self-high type - likes to side track and get high over famous people and those general knowledge information. But overall, the lectures were good I would say. Voice was loud and clear, this one I like as compared to the maths lectures. At least it keeps me focused at lectures.

Chemistry: Still revision on A level stuff. But the good news is that no tutorial for this week!!! Oh yeah!

Computing: OMG! I think I'm going to die because of this subject. The tutor I had (I'm not saying bad about her) had a very ang moh English accent, which I could grasp 60-70% of her words only... Die liao la

Effective communication: At least the lecture for this week was quite interesting. The German lecturer went high again =.= Can't be said for tutorial tho.

Lab: Nothing much to comment. Very A level styled. But now the WS gets longer.

Stunning video

In this video, a special catalogue with binded pages is flipped from left to right and then right to left.

For left to right: Pages of architectural floor plan is shown

For right ro right: Instead of pages of architectural floor plan being shown, now it shows photographs!

Well, up to you to figure out why it can be made into this!

K9 video

A video clips which shows what's a dog handler life. OMG, warrant Kok is in the video too!

Sian day

Today super super sian... it's 90% sian + 10% don't want to do anything. Just feels weird. Somemore monday blue tomorrow and real school starts! Ahh~~~!!!!

NTU Year 1 Semester 1 Week 1 review

Modules taking:
FE1002 Physics II
FE1003 Chemistry
FE1006 Mathematics I
FE1008 Computing
HW110 Effective Communication
HE191 Principles of Economics
FE1071 Laboratory works

Here's my conclusion for this week.

Physics II: No lecture for this week! OMG, going to die with make up lectures! And the notes, see liao I hin...

Chemistry: Beginning to like it and it is all revision to A level Chemistry. The periodic table gets more detailed. Example, molar mass for 1H is 1.00g back then. Now it becomes 1.008g. Precision is the key here.

Maths I: Now I realised one thing - I've never regretted taking up Further Mathematics during JC. After seeing year 1 maths, most of the content I could digest without much problem. Just went through some trigo stuff, function stuff, exponential stuff only. The lecturer is bo liao also, self-highing over clickers. Ask stupid questions confirm get stupid answers de mah.

Computing: Not much comment yet, but it looks manageable as of now. Not sure if I can take on programming. All those programming languages! OMG~

Effective communication: The worst module IMO. I don't know what the lecturer wanted to express. Perhaps using more real-life and concrete examples would be better than using those very chim + abstract terms.

Principles of Economics: Looks okay as of now. A bit interested in this topic too.

Lab works: No lab works for this week.

Today met up new friends. They were friends of Yao Dong. Luckily me... If not I would be alone for today liao...

Then went out with them to SIM for lunch. SIM looks very modern and office-like. The whole building is air-conditioned and this adds value to it. No wonder the fee so expensive la~ And then parking is free!

The western food there not bad leh, price is affordable yet serving portion was huge! Even the guys couldn't finish their chicken cutlet set. But I wouldn't advise to have it very other day.

Regarding the textbooks, I see some people are really kiasu! Just wack all the textbooks up! =.= For me, at least see how the progress la. If it's easy then textbook might not be needed at all. If it's difficult then textbook might help along. Exclude those compulsory textbooks.

1st day @ NTU!

Finally, this day has come. Should I be happy or emo? Afterall, after 2.5 years of working, suddenly ask me to go back to school to study is quite abrupt.

Went to collect the clicker and matriculation card as well. Luckily I got it in time.

The very first lesson was Chemistry. Seemed okay. But my chemistry isn't that good, I think I have to consult Yat Yat haha...

Then next was the Effective Communication. This one I felt bored. The content seemed very complicated. Shall try my best to understand more.

After completing my day, went to crash Jia Yun's lecture. OMG, all the content were so familiar. Haha, learnt it before. So it's like a refresher course for all the incoming students.

Hoot hoot hoot for the NTU!

Busy getting the stationeries for school. OMG! School starting soon! Can't imagine it's happening to me now, after 2 years and 8 months of rest. Haha! But my brain hasn't died yet. Realised I still remembered most of the maths and 50% of physics concept. But my chem... must work extra hard for it lor..

Look at the most expensive hoot of all the stationeries!



It's a mechanical pencil, looks pretty normal enough. But what makes this stand out from the rest pencils is that it has a self tip rotation mechanism. That means I don't have to put up with blunt pencil lead anymore! $7.10 a bit heart pain.

一周大小事

Recently have been plagued by unknown illness... I felt heaty yet I don't have fever. Then followed by sore throat. =.=

Last day of work (4-8-2009)
Well, to think back, people at KIE were not bad, especially Angie, Haegen, YouHwa, CJ they all... I gained a lot of them. Had a farewell meal at Taman Jurong there. CJ drove a Camry to bring us there. Wow, felt like a king like that. Haha!

Then immediately after work, went to Bukit Panjang Plaza to meet Peng Guan and Yong Sheng. There they managed to solve one mysterious Physics question! Oh yeah!

NTU freshman ceremony + batch dinner (5-8-2009)
Managed to find Yat Kan to attend this event together. But I was surprised there was another person tagging along - Yun Zhen! Only thought both of us going only, really unexpected lorr...

The ceremony was simple, yet boring. The goodie bag contained a M-sized jacket, a 2GB thumbdrive, a monthly schedule planner, a torch and some other leaflets. Personally I find jacket and thumbdrive useful only.

Then this batch dinner at 镇发活海鲜 I don't know who was the organiser - Shi Hao or Yun Zhen at first. On the 4th's morning, smsed Shi Hao informing him I might not be going without any reason given.

Then afternoon I had 2 missed calls from Yun Zhen?! It's a super rare moment he actually called me, but I don't know the purpose. Then came in a sms from him trying to persuade me to go. Another unexpected thing. =.= So the organiser is him la!

Then this morning I smsed back asking what does he want (based on previous experience, his words a bit hard to believe liao). He replied whatever he said it's false la bla bla bla, then said if don't care about me, he wouldn't contact me. Saw liao also don't know what to reply.

After that, I bumped into him. OMG! I cant run away liao. He kept asking me going or not. I answered see my mood first. But deep in thought, could see that he really want to meet our batch guys up through this first ever outing by him. Couldn't bear to disappoint him also.

Then while walking back to south spine, I told him why I'm pek cek with him. I didn't angry with him though. If it's true, then I will try to avoid him, better for us. If it's not, then I just don't know why he wants to make such comments. It's tragedic to have the feelings being fooled.

Then he reasoned out that words from mouth are shit la, must use eyes and feeling to judge bla bla... Not wrong in any sense but problem is it involved you and words come from your mouth ok? Don't believe you then who should I believe liao?

Ok, he can have his reasons.... which I find it a bit awkward to fit into the problem. But nonetheless, it's good to clear things out.

Then at the restaurant, everybody was shocked by Jansen's new hairstyle - rebonded hair! Haha, I wouldn't deny it doesn't look bad on him. Haha!

The food was average which I think you can even make your own steamboat. The sushi was loose imo. SK their steamboat seriously got 'contaminated' by chlorine. The smell was so pungent.

K9 visit (7-8-2009)
I thought this already died off. But morning received msg from Bay saying meeting later at Clementi. Haha

Anyway, only Bay, Jia Yun and Jonathan Chua went back. Upon reaching the place, saw Chionh! OMG, he already started his ICT! Wa, that's damn fast lei.

Then ascended up the hill, all faces were very stranger. Went in to check out the dogs... Charlie didn't change much, still looked very excited upon seeing food. Some dogs had changed, like Jackie. Well, it's always delightful to see them. Compared them to the dogs which I did my volunteer work, it was a great difference.
