hmmm... played tennis this morning... haha i reaaly think the endorphins that ur body produces can really lift ur spirits ever now and then... haha plus if ur stressed... a racket sport like tennis or badminton is good cos u can fa xie abit... haha...

hmm lingering in a semi state of lethargy now.. haha going to jelita to get tickets for the aviva singapore open later... anyone going.. tell me leh.. haha i'm looking for pple to pei me... cos i noe most or rather ALL of my badminton kah kees will be to busy studying for exams (which btw i shld be too) haha...

somehow i'm starting to feel the stress building up on me liao... i mean after 4 sems of taking 7 modules plus extra lessons in french maths and french physics... this sem surprisingly is the most stressful sem i ever experienced... haha and i dun think next sem will be worse than this... well anywayz here's an update... next sem... i'll be doing a honours project/thesis on the classification of reflection groups using coxeter graphs... haha that will give me 12 mcs, followed by field theory taught by prof leung... graph theory 2 by prof koh... now supposing either prof leung prof lee or prof lung or prof loke is free and willing to accept me as an ISM student (or if my self declared shi1 di4 decides not to do lie groups anymore then dr tan is also viable) then i will be doing group theory and either commutative algebra or discrete optimisation... however, in the likely event that i dun get to do my group theory, then i'll have no choice but to do functional analysis which will be the most disgusting thing i do next sem.. hahaha

so pray for me... 1/ Classification of reflection groups via coxeter graphs 2/Field theory 3/Group Theory ISM 4/ Graph Theory II 5/ Commutative Algebra haha.. pls pls pls...

urrrgghh... boring sunday... can't wait for the exams to be over so that i can go out... no i'm not restricted to home... it's just that there's no one to go out with me cos everyone's too busy MUGGING for exams.. haha well i shld too.. haha will go read up on groups... cya!!

hmmm just got back number theory paper... failed... but somehow din feel that bad... cos well... terence got the highest with 40 points followed by 34 and 30 and kayjin with 28 and then... downhill with the lowest not me being 9... haha... oh well.. on a slightly better note... i got 34 /40 for algebra II which i quite good but not up to my expectations fo full marks.. hmm anyway tkm wuz sorta saying that based on teh fact that 5 pple in class got full marks he must say that the test wuz easy... but based on the fact that 10 pple failed to even get 20/40, he has to conclude that it wasnt that trivial... haha so he doesnt noe wat to think.... haha

anyway went to watch manchurian candidate with gerri today.. at JP.. hmm interesting show.. quite interesting i must say... haha def worth th 6.50 but i dunno if it would be worth the 8 bucks... haha

anyway gonna play badminton tmr so i'm happee... dunno y it seems pple seem to be avoiding me recently... haha do i haf BO.. haha i doubt it.. haha i use davidoff cool water everyday from 6 sprays to 8 (when i feel i need the luck... hahah) so it can't be that... and furthermore... on msn as well... haha dunno man... haha maybe it's just me... haha anyway making caleb's card now cos just recieved the photo from clara.. haha man they really look like a couple.. haha ok ok will post a photo of it when i get the time.. haha for now... my bed beckons.. haha and to pple i haf offended unintentionally.. and probably unknowingly.. haha my deepest apologies.. haha well gonna listen to mononoke one more time b4 i sleep... nitez!!

hmmm ok... now this is really weird... have u ever dreamt of a test or an exam right the night after u've taken it?? and not only that... dreamt of all the solutions of all the questions you couldn't do?? well... i did... in fact it happened on monday night after the algebra 2 test... man!! i hope tkm sees that the idea for the proofs were there... i made 2 simple careless mistakes that could bring me down from full marks to around 30/40... dang!! one of which is i considered R instead of C as the field which wuz a PID but having a subring with 1 that wuz not a UFD in teh form of Z(root-5)!!! hai... COMPLEX NUMBERS!!! idiot!! another one.. wuz with a euclidean domain.. sigh considered the divisibility of r by 1 instead of 1 by r... dang... hai... ok no use whining anymore i guess... move on... but it's kinda weird i dreamt of the correct answers... i couldnt sleep the whole night...

anyway had a nice day yesterday in school (i skipped metric and complex so that left me with number theory... heh heh) ya and he gave us a quote from 「孙子算经」... haha 「今有物不知其数，三三数之賸二，五五数之賸三，七七数之賸二，问物几何？」... u go figure out the answer... haha cool huh... in modern terms it utilises wat is commonly known as the chinese remainder theorem... haha...

oh just checked up the atp website... haha madrid masters series... henman is the top seed... haha playing costa... haha he'd better win this time... haha sometimes i think he loses cos he's too unemotional in his games... a bit on the bo chup side... haha oh oh and dementieva is playing in the swisscom challenge as the 2nd seed... haha... and i cannot believe it again... she defeated kuznetsova in the quarters and went on to the finals of the kremlin cup where i wuz so sure she would win and she LOST... sigh... AGAIN... to myskina... oh man... she really does have bad luck when she meets her fellow compartiots in the finals...

anyway going to play badminton with francis in 30 mins... very tired now... but well i need exercise to destress... or else i will grow even more crazy... which may be a good thing.. i mean who noes... next time.. i may dream of the paper b4 i take it... hahahaha woah francis msged me... haha gotta go... anyway to all the medicine students HAVE A GREAT BREAK this week... and to the medicine students doing ur part III MBBS O&G exams GOOD LUCK!! hahaha cya around!!


ABOUT 3 HOURS LATER...


back... lost the first 16-17 15-12 2-15... won the second 17-15 15-13... took about 2 hours to complete both matches... damn tired now... urrrgghh...

hmmm went to see twk today.. haha got back test... and i din fail... which in my opinion is riddiculous!! hahahaha... anyway quite happee but extremely worried abt monday... algebra test... sheesh... havent even reached ideals yet... which means i still got a long way to go and sigh... plus sat will be badminton watch amelie and play mahjon day and night... haha so that's out for studying... sunday is tennis day and sleeping day.. not much studying... arrrghh.. means i gotta piah tmr!! haha

hmm anyway went to watch wimbledon with gerri yesterday... haha quite a nice show i must say... but only watch it if 1. ur a crazy diehard tennis fan who can understand most brit jokes (like me) or 2. u absolutely love british comedies like love actually etc and are totally into romantic comedies (like gerri) hahaha... otherwise i dun think u would enjoy it as much as i did...



haha anyway terence went to see kkm to discuss his honour project and my my... obviously kkm is really impressed with him... haha anyway glad we both got good supervisors this coming sem... really couldnt ask for more... haha... have decided that i shall ask kkm to write my recommendation instead of chh since i will be taking graph theory next sem... haha went to see the vice dean today... tot he wuz abt to scold terence and i for acclerating the course... haha but instead he told us that the honours project will be 12 mcs again... haha so we haf to do 1 less module next sem... haha cool!!! which means... i can hopefully, in the most ideal situation, take graph theory group theory (ISM) field theory commutative algebra!! hahahha cool!! and along with my thesis on reflection grps and coexeter groups.. haha it'll be an intensive algebra sem!! WOO HOO!! haha

anyway i think i will go grab som tau huey to eat... haha i'm a pig but i do sports which in some sense is werid cos i eat sooo play quite a bit of sports but haf no muscle mass and come to think of it.. haha not much fat either... haha high metabolic rate... exteremly high... haha i'm "massively-challenged" if u want to put it that way... hahaha

okie okie... after monday's impt test!! see ya!! oh oh forgot to say.. haha cqqztt won their first 5 star grandprix tourny... haha the denmark open!! woo hoo!! hope they win the german this week.. haha ganbatte!!!

hmmm havent wrote here for more than a week... welll i'm kinda on a delf declared holiday now... after 2 horrible tests last week... metric spaces wasnt that bad but complex 2 wuz... disasterous... haha anyway tmr vice dean wants to see terence and i... for something regarding honours project... haha i seriously hope it's not abt the fact that we are gonna complete the programme next sem... haha i hate all the nagging abt how i shld go slow and not sacrifice my grades... haha i mean 2nd uppers aint that bad considering i'll be doing masters rite?

oh well.. on a happier note... i talking to tkm last monday... regarding him being my honours supervisor... he provided me with 2 projects one relating to group theory and the other ring theory... guess which i chose... if u guess ring theory then... haha u oughtta go bang ur head on the wall... hahaha that wuz something abt how some rings haf ACC instead of ACCP and how some have DCC and some kinds of rings with some kinds of residue... haha din really pay attention... haha cos i already half decided then to do the groups one... he walked over to his book shelf and picked out a book... "Relfection Groups and Coexter Groups"... haha that wuz to be the topic of my honours thesis in time to come... haha yesh i readily accepted it and he started to explain abt it... he aslo asked other stuff relating to my academics so eventually he found out i wuz trying to comploete the course in 3 yrs instead of 4.. haha he wuz well... frankly a little amused... he kept saying "3 right not 3 and a half rite?" haha... oh well... most pple think terence and i are nuts anyways... oh then i proceeded to ask him abt studying in UK since of course he got all his degrees including his PhD (waaaaahhh) from Cambridge... haha yeah he asked if i am on scholarship and when i sed yes he sed pity cos they prob wun allow the cambridge course... haha so he recommended Oxford and Imperial... when i asked abt Queen Mary he sed it's also in the tier one band of maths depts in UK also... haha but he strongly recommeds imperial cos the person who influenced his research interest the most is apparently lecturing there... haha he then kindly offered to look thru the courses available at both imperial and queen mary and see if perhaps i could do an honours proj relevant to these courses... haha well a few topics came up... lie algebras, representation theory, etc... oh he also offered me a topic on young tableaus... haha... anyway he eventually found out that his "SHI DI" wuz lecturing at queen mary... haha shi di being the PhD student of his supervisor right after he got his PhD... yeah anyway it's prob not that impt for me to decide now... haha must mainly get thru this sem first... haha

anyway, yesterday we went to pasir ris park for some silly mangrove thinggie cos i'm taking thsi SS module on biophysical enviroment of singapore... haha i wore army boots cos i tot it would be dirty and wet but sadly the main mangrove wuz closed... and the pple wearing sandals and slippers got away... haha but i decided to my it worth my while so i grabbed yongqiang and we treaded in to the mangrove swamp by climbing thru fallen plants and uneven grounds... haha took quite a few photos... haha quite fun i must say but rather tiring... havent done something liddat for a long while... haha felt like i wuz a p1 kid on excursion again... haha



haha okie.. gonna have dinner... prob gonna watch wimbledon tmr... haha okie.. tilll i'm more free... and less lazy... haha

hmmm had graph theory test today... sigh... will prob be the lowest in the group of 6 liao... haha qn2 so easy... made stupid mistakes... qn 3 even worse... sigh... need to buck up to get my A... hmmm but i think it din go too badly la... haha eating durians now.. haha yummy... and if ur wondering how come i can eat durians and type at the same time.. haha it's cos of my special way of eating durians.. hah ahands very clean stilll... hahah

hmmm anyway YESH!! i ask TKM to be my supervisor and he sez he may have some projects that he thinks i would be interested in... haha woo hoo!! gonna see him on monday to discuss the project... haha so excited... haha yeah hope it has something to do with groups la... i really dun mind other algebras but groups would be fun... haha or maybe some C star algebras or hopf algebras or even lie algebras... haha commutative algebras too.. haha oh man.. getting so excited just thinking abt it... haha i must be nuts... but sadly... after monday i gotta bear with teh next 4 days... got 2 analysis tests next week... haha i really love maths... but i really really hate analysis... haha the thing u do in analysis... hai... the proofs are not elegant at all!! algebra is the way ta go... haha i hope for my masters i wun hafta take a single course in analysis... bleah...



hmmm gonna play tennis tmr... haha with my nicely gripped yonex rdx 500 racket... haha woo hoo... haha ok ok shall not say much more... haha will blog more after my 2 tests... haha oh speaking of which... supposed to go down to check out the prices of trackpants for caleb... haha his bdae present... haha prob go down on tuesday evening.. check out asics adidas and nike.. haha as well as fila.. haha try to find one nice one for him to run in... haha wonder if clara has gotten her present for him yet haha... ok ok... later!!
