Many many words of thanks!
I've finally reached age 5^2 on the 4^2 th of 3rd month of the year... and i got to celebrate it 4 times~ which broke my previous record.. haha thanks everyone who bothered to celebrate with me / sms me / fb my wall with well wishes! I really really appreciate it! =)
Was rummaging around my photos folder and came across photos of my surprise party when I was 'in my prime' (i.e. 23rd) and i decided to compare it with the most recent ones (both the surprise party and in church).. haha.. spot the difference!

沉淀
This morning i woke up, i decided that
"今天应该让心情好好沉淀一下。"
in the end i spent the whole day completing 2 books in one go... felt much better. i conclude that reading is therapeutic.

To prove: My thesis report just doesn't like me.
To prove: My thesis report just doesn't like me.
Case 1:
NUS Student Union & some environmental grp sent email last sem saying faculties have agreed to allow double sided reports to save paper + NUS colour printing A4 size cost an exorbitant 50 cents a piece --> i printed all the colour pages with double sides (at HIGH quality, 3 copies) at home, thinking that i should then go sch print the rest (B&W is cheap). However, an email came & said report must be single-sided so my colour ink was totally wasted. (thankfully I haven't printed the other B&W pages yet)
Case 2:
Actual printing day the Sci Lib printer had some errors and my printing got truncated & there were missing pages --> went to Uncle for help but the lousy Adobe Acrobat FIVE installed in the comp (excuse me, that's JURASSIC!!!) cldn't read my pdf created in Acrobat 9, so I have to transfer to another comp which makes the process complicated --> at the end I have to photocopy some pages & print some pages --> during the confusion I forgot to retrieve my cash card from the printer --> almost $8 gone. shiok.
Case 3:
Report handed in and I thought that's it --> received email from prof within a day to see him --> he was unhappy with the formatting, which I followed closely from his very own previous fyp student's report I found on the project archives --> so now become my fault, have to format every single equation, reprint + submit again the next day --> was told shd have let him see the report earlier so he can tell me the changes, but i have been showing him sections as the days go by but he never made any comments on the formatting --> remember colour pages is crazily ex? the reprint + binding cost me a whooping $25. i'm bleeding. shiok
Case 4:
Was doing a last flip at my new reports when i realise page 16.. page 17.. page 19.. page 18.. !@#$!@#$ (no no it has nothing to do w my frens who help me with the pages.. i think the aunty kind of mess it up while binding cuz she was rushing off and was on the phone at the same time and there was a moment when she look a bit confused) --> i have to painstakingly remove the binding, exchange the page, put the binding back (Thank God nothing broke). I wanted to let Cases 1 - 3 go, but this is too much for me. hence this post.
Tml I still have to find both profs to submit the reports again but there's always no guarantee they are there in their office. so it's anyone's guess when i can deliver the thesis into their hands.
From Cases 1 - 4 (not sure whether there're more), I conclude that my thesis report just doesn't like me.
Case 4.5: saw my examiner today to hand him the report, he said he has already read the first part of the report, so instead of exchanging the new for the old, he'll take the new one too and return me both copies later. splendid. now he has a panorama view of all the changes i've made for my report, page by page, line by line, word for word. ingenious.

Argh. what's going on sia..
I received an email from my prof on Sat 7 Mar, 7.56am, and it goes like this:
"Dear Gordon,
I have some comments to your HYP.
Can you come to see me on Monday either around 10:00am or 3:00pm?"
well, I chose 3pm cuz I don't want to wake up so early and i have a loOoong break fr 2 to 7pm. This is the very first time since last yr he has emailed to say he wants to see me. And he spared the "it's a good effort" or "kudos for your hard work" which will probably make me feel a little better.
SO WHAT IS GOING ON?
i emailed my 96-page report on Thursday, I received email on Friday morning to confirm that he's gotten it, and 1 day later, he wants to see me. According to my bro, there can be 3 reasons:
- He's so power that he manages to finish everything in one day (when he's given 2 weeks) and give me his comments (i think 1% possible.)
- He wants an executive summary of my report cuz it's too long and he only wants to read the important parts (0.01%. cuz I have a 2 page Summary in front + 1 page detailing the exact contributions I have made for the project. unless he's that lazy not to read the first couple of pages.)
- Something's very wrong and he wants me to change it immediately to prevent me from having a disaster as an end my career as a student (98.99%). maybe in view of recent incidents involving 24yr-olds (check) AND fyp student (check) AND staying in PGP (check). choi~!
on the other hand, page 2 of today's Sunday Times' Lifestyle on "Who are you calling auntie?" (click to follow link) speaks VOLUMES on how i feel. imagine being called 'uncle' at age 22. bleh.

Symmetry
Finally my first draft submission is over!!!! (look! my countdown timer has been updated!) and the next big thing is the final presentation + interview which will probably take place on 23 / 24 Mar, so this weekend i'm declaring a break for myself before trying to catch up on my studies and start doing my report.. my modules are all "left behind / un-raptured" because of FYP.. tsktsk.
attended a math talk by this prof from Yale on "Symmetry", and my, it's really interesting.. i googled 'symmetry' and look what I've found:
Main Hall of London's Natural History Museum
Taj Mahal
