Happy Belated Lunar New Year to all!! haha

somehow I've been rather distracted of late... well it's not too late to get back on track... someone wuz asking me y i wanted to do masters... well... actually i wanna do masters as a test for myself... to gauge whether i have the potential to do a phd in math... so yeah... i guess that is the main reason... the thing is... i'm really starting to believe that i have missed out alot during my formative years from primary school to jc...

after getting to know hanmao a leeeetle bit better... hmmm i can safely say that the amount of exposure u get when ur in the INTERNATIONAL math olympiad training team makes a big difference to ur mental development in later life... of course with respect to mathematical thinking... it's sort of a mathematical maturity that is carefully and strictly enforced when young that prevents certain negative or detrimental habits, fallacious or ridiculous logic, as well as the midset that math is mechanical, from developing. I mean even with terence u can see the difference, and he wuz only in the singapore comps... so seriously, if i ever haf a child i will push him or her into the olympiads as early as possible... and this goes beyond math... in all areas as well be it the arts, sports or sciences, a head start with working with subjects that are percieved to be beyond the scope of the normal kid goes a long way in bring out the full potential in a child... many western educators have often scorned at the way we asians place so much emphasis on education to the extent that there is usually little time left for a child to do anything else... well... actually... on hindsight now as a young adult... i regret not making full use of my potential when i was young... sometimes i wonder wat kind of mind i would possess if things were different... if i was more motivated... but well...

anyway like i promised... here's DUMMIT!! hahaha



to anyone seriously interested in learning about abstract algebra... i highly recommend this book... u can borow it from me if u want... haha it's pretty much self contained up to i would say perhaps masters level of study... and for those who think that algebra is just x+y=z... well... essentially it is... but with far greater complications than u would imagine... haha...

it's 3 am in the morning and i am still up typing this... haha well.. all thanks to rushing my honours project last night that i am still wide awake now... hahaha well my mid term talk shld cover everything up to the classification of the groups... with the 20 step proof of the classification left for my juicy final talk... that is my objective... hahaha

wat a boring blog... and wat a bloody hot nite it is tonight... roon told me to do 150 squats today... initially i tot it wuz nothing... but the last 50 i really had to grit my teeth and carry on... i've heard abt the power of squats but i've never tot it would be sooo tiring... well hope i can walk properly tmr... haha visiting aunt jacqui for lunch tmr.... haha okie... shld be turning in now... hahaha otherwise i'll be sleeping in ngoh hiang tmr... hahaha

nitez to all who wonder by... hahah
