When everything's been said and done
Finally exams are over! I survived my first year. 4 month break now! Life is good again (well at least untill results come out that is) I dont need to study 6 hours a day anymore! I dont have to go to school at 10am and come back after 12am. Whee.....

OK, just for those of you who are curious about the subjects i take, i shall give you a detailed description about all the subjects i take (or at least attempt to)

First off, economics:
Economics is kinda like watching tiny little people in a small miny village running around doing their everyday lifes! (a bit like playing with the small plastic villages that come to life in night at the museum) You watch how everything is in balance as the cute little villagers go on and about their everyday life and then you get a bit bored, so u attempt to try new stuff, like convincing them to eat more, or work harder, or invest more in like building little tents or even convice them to want more money and you see how this causes some disruption to the system at first but then finally other things would start changing and it will all reach equilibrium again! Then as if this was not enough, you decide to introduce another small village beside them and watch what happens when the 2 villages come into contact with each other. Then after a while you get really bored with these small little villagers that you decide that a severe flood will be fun and you leave the tap running and watch as the tiny villagers go running for dear life! *sorry inside joke, those who took EC102B this year would know what i mean*

Secondly, Mathematics:
Now, this is my favourite subject, but somehow, crazy uni lecturers can turn an easy subject into a nightmare. Math can get pretty nasty especially when tuo lan yeh mathematicians suddenly decide that 3-dimensions isnt quite enough and decide to introduce a lot more. You cant even imagine what a 5-dimensional space would look like because it doesnt even exist. Like wtf...... There's only 3 dimensions man, dont make life so complicated. And just because mathematicians werent happy with the trouble they have already brought into the world, they decide to introduce a new set of number called imaginary numbers. Since normal numbers werent good enough, now we have to work with some crappy numbers that some guy thought of. So i guess maths is kinda like trying to look for a black cat in a pitch black room. No matter how you look you cant seem to find it anywhere, and at the end of the day, you get so tired that you just decide to give up and on the light to see where the stupid cat is and discover that the cat isnt even in the room in the first place.

Thirdly, Statistics:
Now, this may seem quite normal with no hocus pocus to it but with david balmer as the lecturer, even the simplest of things seem so magical. At least his not too brilliant and tends to copy and paste a lot. And not to mention the extra 20 marks he gives for his exam! So somehow, i think i will get the highest for the most boring subject.

Finally, abstract math:
They really werent lying when they called it abstract maths. You know how you go to the tate modern gallery and wonder how a black mark on the wall like someone just threw a pile of crap on it is art. YUP! this is what i feel about abstract math. It's like you go to a mamak stall and order milo ais tak mau milo! Or char kuay teow duwan kuay teow! I mean like wtf, its math without math. Definitely my worst subject of all!

So there you go, the 4 lovely subjects that i took in my first year.
