, "of course you can differentiate it the easy way. but it wouldn't be COOL!".haha thats what my math tchr said today.
we were learning differentiation from first principles and he kept saying, "Now isnt that COOL? look at it... we could've differentiate x^2 within one second (knowing it is 2x), but no, we're going to use our new fanciful formula and go one big round to find the answer, 2x!! Isnt that just cool!"
ahhh i have no idea if it's sarcasm or serious infatuation with math,
but a girl put up her hand and asked if we could just differentiate x^2 straight away in an exam without using the first principles formula,
and thats what the tchr replied (the heading).
=.="
THEN another guy asked straight out, "Whats so cool abt THAT?"
and the tchr was blinking at the entire whiteboard of algebraic eqns and saying, "well look at that! all that rows of algebraic...and the way they all fit together...how the "h" cancels out and disappears and then u get an answer! it's just COOL!"
HAHAHAHA.
so hilarious.
geek tchr.
blur students.
best combo.
so anyway, things are definitely getting better here.
shuttling between the YG and Ester&Chrys for lunch, and hanging out with vicky&gang for intervals.
so it's all cool.
found out today that vicky and i have a lot of common interests.
like we went to check out the Animal Welfare club during lunchtime today (decided not to join for now), and tmr we're going to sports office to ask abt tennis and then go for the Dance Club meeting.
so, yayness coz i dont feel so foreign in her grp anymore, and also coz now i'll have a partner in whatever cca im gonna join.
but like i was telling stephany on msn ytd, i dont think i'll be making any good friends yet,
coz i've brought alot of my past with me and most of my memories are in singapore.
i cant just throw away all that and transform into a new person with no records and no stories.
true friendship is made through the sharing of a past and certain memories.
so only time will help me find real friends here.
but that doesnt mean i dont miss and remember those in singapore(:
made friends with my math table partner, robin.
came from china a few mths ago so he's new in burnside too!
math is fun now coz at least im learning stuffs and the kids arent unfriendly (mack and douglas from YG are in my class), so *big smile*!
jason&vincent have officially been nicknamed superpig and superman by yours truly.
and no, i didnt get the nickname "superman" from Let It Shine.
it just fitted him coz he was trying to make everybody happy in badminton even though he wouldnt possibly play with everyone.
and superpig...well it's obvious.
he's really a pig in human disguise.
and he can fly (3rd in school for high jump? wtheck and he was still pissed off coz he said he could've done better).
so he's super.
yeppyepp.
umm...still trying to come up with nicknames for others.
but not too familiar with anyone else in YG yet.
oh daniel is Lao Ren, everyone shld know that already.
and peter is Hong Se Yi Fu De (The One In Red Shirt), nicknamed by jamie.
ohoh!
suki completed his series of vaccinations ytd!!
so jamie and joyce has taken him out on his first official Walk(:
so cool~~
i get to walk him this evening!!
whee.
