Life of a jellyfish - Episode 2!

- YOLO! You Only Live Once! - Something to remember from RT Lester after leaving as a RT~ Here's reviewing the things done in 2013! ~~~~~~~~~ Achievements! 1. Got a decent GPA on the 1st semester of NTU. :D That's all?! Ah whatever. -- What I like about 2013. =P 1. Became a relief teacher for 1 month, and actually took over 1 actual tutorial. :D 2. The fun times working in ILS~ 3. Satisfaction through teaching tuition (Surprisingly I didn't go crazy over Patrick) XD 4. Not as shy when it comes to talking to girls. :) 5. The fun outings with War and WL! Things which I did not do in 2013... o.o 1. Club (ah oh well) 2. Get a gf (Even though kena nagged for a whole year) 3. Night cycling @_@ 4. Learn a new language (Postponed to taking language as UE) 5. Motivate Patrick to study on his own ----- Goals for the new year~! 1. Maintain GPA to be at least 4.2 after 2 more semesters (That's 3.98 per module!) 2. Clear RT and FT before Year 2 Sem...

The jellyfish is back! :D Since it's the month of December, here's wishing everybody Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! This month features some Christmas songs, some Korean OSTs and others. :) ========== I was supposed to find this Chinese song many months back. Not sure if this is the one... ----- 80th position in 987FM Top 100 (2010). Curious to know what is so nice about this song until people voted for it, I go listen and hey it does sound nice! Here's Umbrella Beach by Owl City! War said people like it because it sounds clubbing. Seriously?? Clubbing to 'Umbrella Beach'?? O_O I think Tip of the Iceberg sounds nicer though! ========== Time for some Korean OST! The 1st one is from MJ, I didn't watch this drama, but nevertheless thought this song is not bad! :D Should take a Korean Lvl 1 UE to understand what he is singing. For a brief idea of what is the meaning of the lyrics, go translate the lyrics yourself. =P ----- I like ...

Nat graduated with a Diploma of Management Studies (Business)~ Power ah mei! :D

The jellyfish is back! :D  On this very auspicious day of my FOM exam (final paper liao), PJC Choir held a performance at SOTA to showcase the ever improving / ever growing team. Such an opportunity should not be missed! Therefore me, SY, Tean and RJ bought some tickets to listen to the delicate voices of the young Pioneers, appreciate the beauty of such fine arts and perhaps even get mesmerized into a new dimension of glass-breaking music...  Ok fine, the glass-breaking is a joke, and so are the other few descriptions. We went there just to support ZH. I think most of the audience went to support their friends / bf / gf, not to listen to some glass-breaking music from War's Era. =/  So yup, posting about PJ's Choir Night: 'Sempre Crescente 2013'. :) ========== 1900hrs Does anyone know the significance of giving flowers to the people whom you support on stage? They look splendid, and brings out the beauty in the performances (or the people ...

Random things which I wrote in the Logic Finals Qn: Here is an argument, the conclusion is already given. Premise 1: Premise 2: Conclusion: All cats are iPhones. i) Write down 2 premises which make this argument invalid. What Jeff wrote P1: All cats are expensive P2: All iPhones are expensive ii) Write down 2 premises which make this argument valid. What Jeff wrote P1: All cats are either iPhones or Samsung tablets. P2: No cats are Samsung tablets. ========= Qn: If the premise of an argument is a contradiction, can the argument be valid? Jeff: Yeah. True by default. ========= Qn: How would this probability be calculated based on the subjectivist theory of probability? Jeff: The probability depends on a person's intuition and judgement. If the person thinks that the probability that the event would occur is Po, where 0<Po<1, then the probability that this event would occur is Po. ================= What the hell did I write... o.o

The jellyfish is back! Some videos for this month! ========= A song that is definitely not describing Finals. ----- Imagine if this song is played during Finals. ----- ----- Anybody remembered this song? I remember listening to this many years back! (Something about a guild PQ video...) ----- You Just Tell me Love! :D ~~~~~~~~~ Didn't comment much! Cheers to the year which is coming to an end!

Finals is approaching~~~ Here is a video from NTU about some exam tips and stuff. Awesomely funny. =P

MJ: "Jeff, did you do anything special for your 21st birthday? Your friends leh? My bf is holding a chalet to celebrate his 21st, and so 21st is supposed to be important right?" Jeff: "O_O Yeah, an unusually large number of people hold parties during their 21st birthday." --- The jellyfish is back! From Ah Boy to a man, War has finally turned 21! (Although the KFC aunty may still recognise him as a secondary school boy) Posting about his 21st birthday simple celebrations~ A simple salad bar dinner, and the Halloween trip @ ACM. Or as WL would say: "81st". Legit. =P ========== 25/10 (Fri) To welcome War to the old age, 95.8FM held a real-life show/random item at Jem. Not really sure what that thing is, but 95.8FM (usually for listeners who are older) is definitely including War as an element to its set of listeners! What a great coincidence. :D I didn't know that Swensens has a Salad Bar in the outlet. I think the outlet at Jem is suppos...

The jellyfish is back! :D Today is Hari Raya Haji, so to all muslim ppl, Selamat Hari Raya Haji! To the rest of the people, I think it's just another public holiday to rest / catch up on studying / slack around and not studying Linear Algebra like me. =P Here are some songs for the month! ========== The first one is from the movie, 'Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs 2'. It's the 1st song from Cody Simpson's Surfer Paradise album. Enjoy! La Da Dee by CS. Other songs in his album are quite nice too, eg. Pretty Brown Eyes. Ya I know, awesomely cute tomato! I like this right here! :D ----- This one is recommended by WL. Has anyone heard of this guy before? ----- The next one is an Owl City (^^) song which WL liked, probably because it's very rock. According to War, this is how Dementia should be sang: "Dementia! ... ... ... ... ... Dementia!" Why? Because the singer has forgotten what to sing. Does anyone think this song sounds...

Screwed up Calculus Midterm big time...  Siao liao -.- ~~ On a happier note, I passed my FoM test! 

Cramming up your modules, trying to be the very best and make far ahead plans to go for a miserable exchange... That's the mindset of many students, who want to try something new instead of circling round and round in their school, eating the same old boring food and passing by the school advertisement board which has not been updated for the past year or so. Well, is it really a good idea to go for exchanges? To get a feel of what is it like, War and I had an informal local student exchange! :D Ok la, it's not really on the trying out, it's more like kinda sian, dunno what to do, so its good to see what is like to crash other people's lessons. =P What War wanted: Sian leh, go NTU see how is it like. What Jeff wanted: Sian leh, go NUS see how is it like. Posting about the exchanges! :) ========== 26/9, Thur NUS: Recess Week NTU: Week 7 Thursday, a super rainy day. After the (crashed) Linear Algebra tutorial, I went to JP to meet up with War. It must be a ...

Oh so there's a non-rap version??? o.o!

Pop quiz! Q: What is a better way to unwind yourself after studying a lot of nonsense maths that almost nobody uses it in real life? A: Sing song and fly kite! :D ~~ The jellyfish is back! ^^ 2 random outings, to celebrate Pric farewell with the lab people, and another is a kite flying event which WL asked me to go. Since it's a good opportunity to take a break from all the nonsense truth tables / other maths, why not lepak a bit? =P So yup, posting about both outings! ========== 31 Aug - Lab singout! The outing consisted of a singout at Kbox at the building beside Lot 1, so yup, a revisit to CCK. :) Perhaps it's the hectic schedule of uni life, but by some random equilibrium law, the total sum of earliness in total time space t must be equals to 0. (lolwut) As a result, I was auspiciously late by about 10 mins and kind of kena disturbed by KY. Aiya sian. =/ TW, Jesmond, and Darren were already there. Nobody seemed to have changed, which is quite a good thing. ...

The jellyfish is back! :D Life is kinda hectic, so somehow I didn't get the time to listen to some newer songs (unlike the previous few months). So a few newer(?) songs, and the rest are all older ones. See how many do you remember? =P Oh, when I mean old, it's not until War's extent, that will be prehistoric. A bit more towards the clubbin(?) side though... Enjoy! ========== Finally, it's NTU recess week! To start off this auspicious break, here's a song by Big Time Rush, '24/7'. Not referring to 7-11! All day, everyday, is a holiday! Live your life, 24-Seven! :D ----- The next one is a song which I came across while trying to find a song which I have heard in a candy store. Somebody uploaded this during 2008, so this song must be at least 5 years old! Enjoy this one, it's Uptown Girl by Westlife. :D ----- The next one is recommended by WL. (I think he recommended this while playing MapleStory) A rather nice song. I must have...

http://therealsingapore.com/content/former-moe-teacher-reveals-school-penalise-teachers-focusing-teaching Seriously? Isn't education supposed to be the main priority? How come CCAs and other nonsense activities are snatching the top few positions of the priority list? Do students really benefit from a wide education if teachers spend more time on such things? Do jobs really care much about non-academic results and achievements? -_-

Studying coding theory at Changi Airport's staff canteen is way cool! The fish soup is nice! :D

The jellyfish is back! Perhaps it would not do justice to the organisers if I were to skip posting about the SPMS Orientation week, which is supposedly more special as there were planned games, unlike other faculties...? So here it goes! Posting about the 1st 2 official days of my life in NTU, which were mainly talks and activities to welcome freshmen. =D =========== Day 1 (5/8/2013) An auspicious start of the 4-year uni life begins with a heavy thunderstorm, perfect temperature for sleeping. The welcome activities were planned to begin at 10am, checking the time to be slightly past 9am, I collected my matriculation package and rested a bit at the Koufu canteen. What I thought the matriculation package to be: Goodies, welcome gifts, some toys and brochures, a big bag of 'Welcome to NTU' stuff, matriculation card, etc... What the actual package contains: matriculation card, clicker device in a very small blue box. -_- That was disappointing. 1000 In the SPMS LT...

I regret skipping the Linear Algebra lecture today... Yeah, it must be disappointing to see a significant proportion of the cohort being absent. Disrespectful, as someone called it. Damn the MATLAB assignment, if I have known that the deadline is postponed, I wont skip the lecture... ~~~ I promise not to skip anymore linear algebra lectures for no apparent reason...

After Karen / KY said I have not updated my blog for a fairly long time.. (aiya must be KY), I think I should publish the following outstanding posts soon... *SPMS orientation* Lol 1 month already [CLEAR] *Kite singing post* *The awesome large number of goodie bags* [Eh I forgot what i wanted to write] *Watami!* *Posting Underfame photos - MBS *Posting Underfame photos -GBTB To be continued!

What I have learnt in this week... 8/2 is technically NOT equals to 4/1. 'Only if' has a completely DIFFERENT meaning from 'If and only if'. Just because something is not rational, doesn't mean its irrational. Everything I knew about limit is simply inaccurate and not precise WL and my knowledge of tangent is si bei cui. If the conclusion is F -> F in logic theory, then any arguments are valid. Real number is a subset of complex number. The PJ graphing technique transformation notes is not flexible. o_O Nobody gets coding theory. --- Exercise does not only include gyming / jogging at a place, it happens when you have to rush from the South spine com lab to the North Spine LT as the lecture notes is uploaded only 15mins before the lecture. -_-!!! Keep a good habit of saving computer work on a regular basis! Unless you want a celebration when the whole com lab computers shut down for no damn of reason. The Linear Algebra lecturer is not that bad a...

The jellyfish is back! Videos for the month of August, containing old songs, movie soundtracks, recommendations by WL and some others. :D Starting off the month's songs with a rather light one (noisy as War calls it). This is 'Eternal Love' by PJ and Duncan, the 'remixed' version, 'Forever' by Derrick was featured at the start of the year. This is the lighter version, enjoy! ========== War wanted to find a nice song to sleep, and I recommended this. o.o Maybe it isn't a really fantastic idea, but ah oh well. =/ ---------- Observe the date uploaded for this video! A song recommended by War. Sounds old, but not bad! :D ---------- Negation of 'dont wake me up'! Here's an Avicii song! WL won't like this, it sounds clubbing. :D ---------- I feel this is the nicest non-Owl city song out of the whole lot. Enjoy it! ^^ A rather sweet song, the lyrics is rather meaningful too! :) ---------- Something from Davi...
