push me hard.

Every even number is the sum of two primes

.
.
.

10 = 5 + 5
22 = 17 + 5

not convincing enough?

42 = 31 + 11

try it yourself.

Class

reasons why i like my lecturers.. they are supportive, they make us feel like we're important to the world, and others not.. haha. sorry =p

i don't remember the original version, but it should be similar to this.

krishnan : class, let me tell you a story.

One day, a very competitive cowherd was so worried about the low amount of milk produced by his cows, so he hired a scientist to have a look at the cattle and find a solution to increase the production. The scientist immediately started his work. He began taking samples, injecting this and that, back and forth to his laboratory, experiments.. and lalala..

Then.. after almost a year, the scientist came back with a solution to increase the milk production by 3%. Being a kiasu cowman, he obviously was unhappy with the result. He wanted more than just 3.

He then hired an atomic engineer to solve his problem. The engineer had access to some very powerful machines in the world, with sophisticated laboratories and the so many complicated laws of physics to assist him. As expected, he too came back with one solution for the cowman. However, it only took 3 months for the engineer to come up with a brilliant idea, which can increase the milk production by 7%.

Ahh, again the man was dissapointed. He wanted more than that, and started hiring a mathematician to help him. The next day, the mathematician came to the cowherd's office saying he has found a way to increase milk production by 30%. yes, 30%. The man was so surprised, but overwhelmingly happy at the same time. He grabbed the mathematician's report, and started to open it.

The first line reads..

"Consider a spherical cow, ..."


ps : mantalaris says "God is a chemical engineer!" (i'll tell the story some other time)

Comic Freak

Yesterday, after business paper...

We walked and walked and walked..
passed the museums..
the underground stations..
shops..
restaurants..
gardens..
parks..

finally...


and...


anyway, the movie was brilliant!! 10 thumbs up if i have that many =D

I wonder what would my dad say if he watches this. Last year, when we watched x-men the last stand,

him : movie ni lain dari buku
all of us : ape yg lain?
him : jean grey didn't kill cyclops.. storm laalala... prof X lalala...

all of us : how do u know?
mama : papa ada bertimbun-timbun comi books dalam study room tu. korang je tak pernah tgk.


Yea, later we found out the books are all hidden behind one of the cabinet doors at the corner of the study room...

p/s : i also know the whole history of Mr Clark Kent! (thanks to my dad) go Superman!

p/ssss : mama, happy mothers' day!! sgt lambat.. but i wish her twice. hope that makes me special. (mothers' day in the uk fell on the 22nd of March this year, i wished my mum back then, i'm wishing her again now)

Love Love

Psssttt..!


them : hey, we're going to study at the park later..
me : which park?
them : (fashionably) hyde park.


that's the best thing about being in london, and studying at a school 2 minutes away from the famous park =)

The weather's really really great lately..

I'm loving it here. I love, i love.


Me, studying. Faiz n Seng, cam-whoring (they're good at it! )

p/s : i went to study at the park a couple of weeks ago. Went there alone, so i opted for a quite spot under a tree. 10 minutes passed, then came a couple who settled a few meters away from me. Soon, they started making out... mmg tak boleh study la kan... =P

To Do, n Not To Do

+Sighh+.. +long sighh+


ok, studying is what i should really be doing at this juncture of time. With the exams coming closer, and the piles of materials to be covered and the demotivating tutorials i've had lately. so.. Study, study, study. elders say student life is the best of time.. (and i doubt).

Well, at the moment, this is what i do. (been doing for the whole afternoon actually) :


Analysing British Airways' Accounts and Annual Report.


I stopped whining and complaining about a week ago when i realised my tears of blood won't get me anywhere. I just have to live with these accounts for a couple of days more, and it'll all be over. I'll pray hard.

Anyway, when i learned that business is a part of my first year degree, i was flabbergasted. It was one of those moments when you feel like u've just been struck by lightning at the same spot, not once, not twice but three times (i tak pernah) and nothing comes out from your mouth, because.. your voice box is damaged. lol.

"Business" are economics and accounting, two courses that i've been avoiding my whole life (though i did take AS econs, for the sake of completing Alevel with a .5 behind my 3 - oh and i found out awhile ago that Singaporeans took at least 7 Alevel subjects. sila pengsan). and o0o, to top it all, business worths 60 bloody marks of the while year, and, that is almost the same as chemistry course. I don't remember signing up for a 'Business Engineering'. Clearly in my application form was 'Chemical Engineering', which a naive person would of course say - it's all about chemistry. Then, what is chemistry doing at the same level as business?

The truth is, I do think chemistry should be less than 60, at least i wish it would. because, you have no idea how life-ruining the subject is. let's not speak about the eye-watering chemistry questions,yah?.. heee =)

Now, I think.. I'll go back to business. Literally.

p/s : my accounting lecturer wears Armani suits to school. How classy...

Pom pata pom,

Don't ask me why I like advertisements

Bonjour la livre?.. okay, back to normal, dear my beloved diary..

I've been thinking about this entry for quite some times now, but the idea somehow just stayed peacefully at the back of my mind, making no effort to come out as words...

(abandoning the blog was an option, but the luxury of freedom i forgo =P)

Today, as i was just getting the mood to study, the fire alarm went off and everyone went down to gather at Prince's Gardens, and that time, i wondered if i would ever get my mood back after standing in the cold for almost 10 minutes (dramatic sikit).. And u know the answer..

anyway, on the 1st of may (told ya!) an advertisement on Lite tabloid caught my eyes. Here's for yours:


Okay2, i can hear you. So?? Well, There's nothing wrong with the paper, surely. But, as i'm gonna tell you later, the advert wasn't made so big it costs huge amount of money for nothing.

Let's zoom in to read the words :



Vague? Here's the full detail.

Well, in short, TkMaxx wanted to open a new branch in picadilly, a posh area which belongs to the Queen, but they were rejected. And this is how they stood up for themselves, and the brand they have built for years.

I find it amazing. and inspirational.

p/s : TkMaxx High Street Ken is massive ok? Pegi laa.. Find urself a good bargain =)

ok Book's calling, Love

Expected

Dear Diary,

Ive been here for more than a month now, but (shockingly) i've never seen the big bEn! which is, i reckon, a must for everyone who travels here. heh. ohhhh, let alone the London Eye. ahahha!! im a nerd and i take that with a smile if that makes everyone happy. geee.. =P guess im gonna wait for ainul to come and we'll go sightseeing together gether, aite babe??

anyhoww... here are some pictures of my room. for iqa. cuz i know hotel rooms are no better than mine. and im proud to be a resident of Southside (wth?, go google, honeys!)


okay, i finished the whole of the raspberry trifle in a couple of minutes. nyumm!



the mess . it wasnt me. (weee)


the view from the window

honestly, life's been pretty hectic here. especially during the first few weeks of the course when class started as 9 in the morning, and ended at 6pm. it was already dark when i came back from school, we were all exhausted and mentally restless but there was NO bloody food at home..!! i felt like crying, seriously but that didn't help at all +wink+. now i know the easiest way is to cook a giant heap of food on weekend, and keep it in the fridge. for the week. i hope this works.

last week was exceptionally busy for me as we had a design project to be submitted before the end of the week. library became the second home. we even went back at 3 in the morning.. just to find us resuming the work. whats worse, a guy in my group actually spent a night in the library trying to sort all the things and compile the project. yeppp.. no kidding. that's how london been treating us lately.

i'll put more pictures and tell more stories later. process analysis awaits.

love,
yaz
