Proposition : The presence of more girls in tutorial class makes for better interaction between the opposite sexes.

Applicable to : NUS Engineering students

Some Assumptions : There are no clicks in the class that's larger than the size of 2

Explanation :
All guys want to know more gals. In the tutorial class however, attempts to get introduced to girls will appear to be buaya. Thus if there were a more equal ratio of guys and girls, introducing oneself to the girls would be a less conspicuous action. You will not appear to be going out of the way to get introduced to that girl or those few girls.
After getting introduced to some of the girls, it would not be a big deal to go and introduce oneself to the remaining girls and of course don't forget the guys.
It would be safer to know the guys immediately around you 1st then with a look of friendliness stretch out your hand further to shake hands with others.

Reality check :
People usually go to tutorial classes with some friends that they already know. That means the number of strangers is reduced.
Case A : with only 1, max 2 other friends
This is rather ideal because now you have only about 20 pple you don't know. Seems like a big number 20 but it's easy to know the people immediately around you.. that's at least 4 people.. adding their friends you would know very quickly and easily almost 8 people. Then now that you've been introduced to close to half the class it's time to know the other half!
Case B : with 3 and more friends
It might be difficult to know new people because you are in too large a group already. Knowing the other guys around you wouldn't be too big a problem but that does not disprove my proposition. Having too many friends already in the class with you creates inertia and your friends will easily think of you as buaya when you attempt to get introduced to the girls.

Post is meant for Friday but I got 'distracted' by Angel who called to get help for Java lab and crossed midnight before posting.

Actually I had nothing to post for Friday but Yanli says I can post this rubbishy proposition of mine.. so now you have it! I might post more of my 'theories' and 'propositions' when I feel like hee

I fear the repetitiveness of school days is getting the better of me. Nothing quite interesting happened today. But worth mentioning is my Java tutor.

My Java tutor is a China man. China men seem to be all over SOC. Lecturers, TAs, Lab TAs, so many of them are Chinese Nationals. Many Electrical Engin lecturers are Indian Nationals, side point. My Java tutor has a very infectious smile! He looks like the Laughing Buddha with that ear to ear grin on his face! And he keeps saying 'O-khay?'

8 am tutorial today was bad. It was tutorial for Making Sense of Society, a Sociology module. The tutor is super uninspiring and he's one of those 'I don't want to speak like local cos speaking with an accent is like so cool' arty farty people. Then again he might not be Singaporean cos he asked us "What was that line during National Day? One .. one what?" *class chants One People One Nation One Singapore at different speeds* "Oh One Nation One.. oh oh.. One People One Nation" Or he's Singaporean but spent many years studying overseas. I don't like him much. Last sem my SS tutor was of a super mixed bloodline, vietnamese, malay, chinese blah blah but he still speaks like a local! Don't get why these arty farty people want to be so pretentious. If you want to speak that way to your professor who's american or british or whatnot, so be it. But if you're going to be speaking to a bunch of locals, then why the accent? As if we'll understand you better.

We split up into 3 groups to discuss Marx, Weber and Emile Durkheim, 3 of the most important sociologists ever. My group was to discuss Durkheim. Everyone was very quiet cos how many people have actually heard of Durkheim? Marx and Weber are quoted in other social sciences as well and are quite well known figures. I didn't make the 1st comments cos I didn't bring the text with me and I had already forgotten what Durkheim was about cos I read that chapter awhile ago. But I did make the 2nd comment after reading a few lines off someone else's text and that was the start of the slide. Nobody else offered any more comments. The most helpful was "It's all this stuff in the text."

Group discussion time was swiftly over and time for somebody from the group to go up to the whiteboard and write the group's findings. Yours truely was arrowed despite my protest of 'horrible handwriting'. Just 20 secs after I started to write, the tutor says something is wrong with the classification he gave to Durkheim and Weber. He had classified them wrongly, Weber as Structural Functionlist instead of Symbolic Interactionist and Durkheim as Symbolic Interactionist instead of Structural Functionalist.

WOAH! All the stuff I was prepared to crap about suddenly all wrong. I went back to the group for help and one guy was so helpful "take the book.. go there summarise" Yeah.. you aren't the one up front loh. I went back to the board, stunned awhile and decided to BS, so I did and with no attempt at making my handwriting legible.

Ok lah, the tutor did try to compliment my effort. But I still don't like him cos he's so uninspiring.

WOOHOO!! Suddenly it all became clear as the sky! Java Lab1 part1 DONE!!! haha.. dunno how to type phonetically the Martin Yan style of 'done'. Did a little victory cheer for myself on the IVLE forum haha! Woo!!!

Haha.. the 'masters' of Java are probably cowering under their blankets mumbling 'Mommy' now that I can finally do my Lab 1 Part 1.
Be afraid.. be very afraid.. FEAR ME

Ardent readers of pangyism.blogspot.com *echoes around the room* readers of... pangyism dot blog... spot dot com

Today's Signals lecture was heavily punctuated with the sounds of doors opening and closing. Prof Ko was very irritated by all those people who came late. No, not me, I was there since the previous lecture and was already in the LT before the transitional break ended. People came in as late as 1015 when the lecture is supposed to start at 1000. There was a funny guy who came in late and forgot which row he was sitting at and the whole lecture group was staring at him fumble around haha!

Then there were these 2 girls who came in about 1010 with cups of cuppa and Prof asked "Can you girls tell me why you come so late?" Being your average engin student they just ambled to their seats without looking up at the Prof. Much later on in the day then I recalled the incident and I thought 'What if the girls said, in an irritated tone, There was a queue at the toilet and we really had to change our pads.' !!! What a scene that would be!! Man I can be quite gross.

I also got unnecessarily stressed out as I had to 'chop' 2 tables in the canteen during the lunch hour by myself! For almost half an hour! Ben and Mike and Hongwei really took a long time to get down to the canteen cos they were being milked by their prof to the last minute. Mwahaha.. I'm really thinking very sick now.. think Meet the Parents.. "Yeah you can milk just about anything with nipples..." "I have nipples. Can you milk me?" Wahaha!! I hope the trio aren't feeling sore somewhere up north!!

2nd day running that I don't know how to code my java lab 1. I made a little progress cos I bumped into Ailian in the renovated library. She told me have to import some java packages in order for some java classes to work! She was so surprised that I don't know haha.. clueless me as always.

Found Jiaxuan studying by herself at the top parts of the forum. Hey Jiaxuan! When you read this you MUST leave a comment ok! I specially mention that I bumped into you leh! You don't get such nice treatment from me everyday! haha.. she was doing her tutorials and it all looked painfully familiar to me. Looks like stuff from Prof Ang KK and Prof Wang CM haha!

Tomorrow is the 1st day this sem, in fact the 1st day in a long long long long time, that I have to wake up at about 6. Tutorials start at 8am tomorrow. Sigh.. and this repeats itself every other week.. shit.. periodic signal.. period = 14 days, frequency = 1/14 days... haha..

I counted today, One Hundred and Thirty One steps that I have to climb as I alight from 96 at SDE to LT6. Not counting the steps inside the LT cos I didn't go into the LT. Was noticed by pok on the Clementi platform and walked the stairs with him. Then noticed Ben in canteen, seems like lunch break is from 10-12 for him, lunch? brunch? Then pok went to LT5 for his lecture.

Had a test on complex sinusoids and waveform sketching. I dunno lah.. the 1st qn and 4th qn seemed quite easy but the 2 in between on sketching are dubious. Whatever the outcome, I can't quite be bothered.

Gone down to SOC for the 1st java lab. On the bus 95, there was a girl with a disposable cup of hot coffee. What is she thinking.. It was one of those dispensing machine type of coffee, really hot and in a thin disposable paper cup. Good thing the bus didn't jerk at all the whole journey to SOC. Round the rounabout, down the slope beside SRC and coming to halt in front of the zebra crossing at SOC. Would be damn bad if any of her coffee spilt on her or the person beside her.

In the programming lab, felt very helpless and gong. Dunno what to type 1st.. #include? public class main? How to declare variables?.. The guy 2 spaces to my left seems to know what to do.. click click clack clack click click clack clack went his keyboard. The guy immediately left of me don't seem to be there to do the lab. He's clicking around here and there on the system, doesn't seem like he's interested in the lab question.

Me and Augustina (Ruyi) also don't know what to do and we left the lab after an hour. No pt staying in there, feeling hungry and lost when we don't have submit on the spot. Then we had lunch and went on our ways.

I decided to go Marine Parade Library to look for java books, the "Idiots' Guide" and "for Dummies" books on Java. I am an Idiot and proud president of the Idiots' Club haha!! So now I know that java codes begin as such

Gramophone.

Gramophone at Specialists' shopping centre is a really really great place, it's the shiiitz man!. Went there today and I felt like dying cos there were so MANY jazz, latin guitar, world music and lounge cds!!!! And they sound GREAT!! There's this latin guitar disc 'Elation' that was playing as I went in.. ooh... smooooth.... listened to 'Congo to Cuba' from the Putumayo series... grooovy babeh... I really like the Putumayo world music series. Man I need more dough.. buy the whole shelf load!! Already spent $19 on 'World Music Room' last wk and if not for Angel and Thomas I surely would have spent money again!

Sms-ed Angel to tell her about my find and got to know that she and Thomas were at the Hotel Pheonix lobby. So I went over to meet with them and I managed to stuff away the urge to buy Elation (saved myself $18). The pair of luvbirds were consolidating their reciepts and reports from their work, I can't tell you any more than that.. or I would have to send assassins to kill you.. Quite fun work they're doing heh, great to see them together.

I find that I've been dispensing a lot of advice recently.. I just hope that my 'advice' were really advice.. and not my own warped opinions. But nobody dispensed me any advice.. cept David. Thanks bro.. I really needed that..

Today's Java lecture was given by Prof Antoine Vigneron. He's french by the way.. and I think his european lineage had something to do with him frequently blowing into the mike today. You know these Mat Salleh all got pointy noses rite? As a result of their pointy noses, their nostrils can 'aim' a bit further outwards than our Asian nostrils. And Antoine was holding the mike rather close to his mouth.. and if you just hold an imaginary mike to your mouth.. you'll see that it's quite near your nose. Well for Antoine it was very close to his nose! Thus resulting in the frequent 'blow on mike' sounds.

His lecture today is like Taxi and Taxi2 and Taxi3. It was FAST and it was FRENCH! Not really french but french-accented. He had 60 slides to go thru with us and only 120 mins to do it. If you think the Taxi series is fast, you've yet to experience the kind of 'press you back into your seat' 3G effect Antoine was subjecting us to.

After the lecture, I went to the Central National Library to meet Adeline who was there to look up statutes on estate law for her SSD module. I went to find some Java books to try and understand what Antoine was saying earlier.

I didn't find the "For Dummies" or "The Idiot's Guide" books but I picked a book that looked promising and went to find a seat. Nope there was no more space on the table. Sure there were a few more empty chairs but all those piles of books on the table just took up all the space. Either the librarians weren't doing their jobs or the other library users have been sitting there for half the day and browsed all those piles of books and magazines themselves and didn't bother to clear the table.

Right.. I know I'm not supposed to sit in between the shelves and on the walkways but.. wat the heck.. here goes Plonked onto the floor beside where I took the book and I went about reading. Some other library users walked past, some stopped nearby me looking at the books on the shelves but nobody asked me to move so I returned to my book.

Then this Indian national walked pass me a little slower than the others. Ding Dong! "We would like to remind all library users not to sit on the floor in between the shelves and along the walkways. This would inconvenience the other library users. Thank you!" I looked up at the Indian, who was now a little distance away. While the announcement was made, he turned back while walking on and looked at me with a little grin. I wonder if he had friendly intentions or hostile intentions. I looked at him shrugged a little and stood up. Librarians.. what do they want man.. don't clear the tables and don't want me to sit on the floor. Then what? I stand the whole time I'm reading the book? Tired leh!!

Shift my weight on one leg now, then shift to the other, then stand on both legs, then lean on the shelf. Finally finished reading what I wanted to read and I went up to the reference section to find Adeline. She was reading this statute on Land and I didn't sit down for long then I went to look around in the shelves.

Then I saw this rather thin book "Christian Perspective on the Life Sciences".. hhhmm.. must be interesting. The book is foreworded by a Bishop Doctor i-forgot-his-name. 1st before continuing, I am an atheist and I'm about to pay no regard to religious sensitivity. The Bishop Doctor's tone was something like "Unethical life sciences! Cloning research - Unethical! DNA Genome mapping, evil! We must remind ourselves that the Lord is the Creator!" What kind of belief is this I ask..

Another book I found is by Mr Chee, To Be Free. No prize for guessing which Mr Chee. It's even autographed by him! There was a brief background on him, says that he was once a lecturer in a.NUS, found guilty of misusing funds, something like 350K, for printing(?) Didn't get to read much cos then Adeline walked up beside me and motioned that we're leaving.

Almost every morning I go to sch and I get good exercise. Lots of stairs climbing. I take bus service 96 from Clementi and alight in front of SDE. I then have to climb up the nicely tiled stairs of SDE03. Walk a small brick path to Engineering Canteen and then climb the spiraling stairs at the side of the canteen. Appear at the drink stall, buy coffee. Walk past the stalls with coffee. Step by step go up the stairs on the other side to LT5 with coffee. Turn right up another set of stairs, coffee in hand. Then finally I'm on the level of LT6! Down the corridor and then down the half level to LT6, holding my cup of coffee. Push through the 2 sets of doors and down half the LT to finally sit at my usual spot where I can finally drink my coffee.. aaahhhh

Mr Seller didn't even bother to call me at 5. I think this character really got some serious case of attitude problem. Don't want to sell me anymore, could have just told me. Don't want to sell at that price, could have negotiated with me. Sold to someone else, could have told me. But he didn't tell me anything at all! What can I do to him? I don't even know who he/she is, can't put dookie in his mailbox, can't hang pig head on his door, can't scratch his car (if he has one), can't even spit on his picture. Weirdos abound.

My daily dose of jazz is going to go byebye. Passion 99.5 is going to stop broadcasting because they can't get enough sponsers for their programs. Something like that. So sad... how will I get my jazz fix now?

Just got inspiration to post.

I managed to find somebody over the net to sell me Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Kreyzig. It's a superb deal. The book is $40 from the co-op but this person is gonna sell it to me at $21!! $21 for that big a volume of printed paper is already worth it, and what's more the book's printed to teach the reader maths.. ok maybe only an engineering student like me would appreciate the maths.

But Mr Seller has an attitude problem. He thinks that just because he's selling the book so cheaply to me, he can dictate the meeting place and time as he likes without regard for my schedule. He sends me a sms "I will pass you the book on Thurs 21 Aug 5 pm. Outside LT6."

5 pm.. My day ends at 2pm. I stay in school for lunch at most till 3 pm. 5 pm? You must be kidding. I don't live opposite NUS in Kent Vale, nor do I live at Clementi or Bouna Vista. So I call him, sms him try to change the meeting time and date but no reply, no picking up of call, no email, nothing. Well look here Mr Seller (wat the hell I don't even know his name), I too can play bastard. If you don't call me by 12 tomorrow, you're going to find that I won't be answering your call at 5.

I want to make a scroll window kind of thing for my posts.. I think the page looks nice if it doesn't reach too far down and the tulips on top remain in view. Once I know how to do that, I can experiment better with the colour bar you see at the bottom.

I also wanna know how people can have visitors leave comments.. even if nobody comments i'll just feel my blog is more complete.

Was telling a few people that I don't want to use my blog to bitch about my life and thus right now I don't really know what kind of stuff I want to post. My reason for not wanting to bitch about my life is I dun think it's going to make an interesting read. At least not to myself.. and since this is my blog, I matter most around here.

I feel eventhough it's a natural thing to be complaining about life, it doesn't really mean it's right to be complaining.
Eh wait.. I realise here that I have been complaining to people like I said in my last post. But I myself don't think that I have been whining.. complain maybe, but not whining.. ah what the heck.. I need to apply my own philosophies on myself more diligently.

Blogger was down.. for me at least. I'm guessing half the blogspot blogs at least commented about it. Mine included.

Hell I'm bored. It's such an extremely long story, about 3 months worth. Long and unpleasant to talk about. I don't really want to write about it here. Think it's awful to subject innocent passerbys to the kind of days I've been through for the past 3 months and even worse when people I know come to visit my blog and reads about it, cos I've been whining about it to them in the course of those 3 months.
But HELL! I'm bored and there is no other way to express it.
And know what? Some things don't change till you tell people about it. But this thing never changed a bit. Heck it'll even change things for the worse if you repeat it to people as I have.
