To make up for not blogging so long, let me tell you more about what i am taking this semester.
For those who still do not know, i am a APPLIED MATHEMATICS major!!! hee.. Yes, my interest lies in life science, but no, i am not majoring in life science. I want go into the workforce doing what i've studied. hee...
Currently i am taking 3 core modules, namely MA1100: Basics of Mathematics (let me warn those that are not maths major and need not use it to fufill core requirements, DO NOT take this module, cos it is DEFINITELY NOT as BASIC as u think it is!!), MA1102: Calculus (i would suggest u take this instead.. hahaha... ) and CZ1102: Problem solving and Computation (i've just attended this lecture today from 10 - 12pm absolutely couldn't understand him, and am struggling through this lecture as i know nuts abt computing. if its not for my core req, i would nt take it.)
Now, let me tell u more abt the other two modules that i am taking. They are both from the ARTS fac. LAG1201: German 1 (i like this module but languages are very hard to grapse... hahaa Guten Tag!!) and the next one is SW2104: Human Development over the Lifespan (its a level 2000 module, why am i taking it? hahha... its interesting, abt what happens to a person from conception till he dies..... wohooo.. i've been through half of the lifespan already and i am only learning it now??? hhahaha.... now the lecturer is covering early adulthood...)
The lecturer would give a quote for the day in the lecture notes. and the one the interest me the most is the one on lecture 12 on the 5th Oct. Here it goes:
"Its is a mathematician's disease. They always write things in teh most general terms."

hee.... but sad to say, after 2 months studying this module, i've not caught the disease. hahaha... think i should try harder or lower my immunity.... hahaha...
