A prof who always thinks ahead..

I registered for a Math course this term, learning Calculus 3. Most of my friends are doing this course too, however, I am luckier in a sense.. My prof always thinks ahead as he said in his email. On the day (Tue) I registered for the course, he sent me an email about what are the things tt he is expecting from his class, as well as the course guide.. then today, I received my first set of homework online oredi.. and most of my friends are still waiting for their course guide..

In his email, he said, "If you are, like me, thinking ahead, you shall find the first set of the written homework here.." the homework was easy, just vectors, and I must admit the questions are much easier than what we did in RJ.. but it took me about 2 hours to complete 8 questions, cos I forgot everything!! seriously when I say I forgot everything I meant that.. I could not even remember the difference between vector product and scalar product.. and the sine cosine.. hehe but as I do the homework, I start to gain some memory of tt..

I am quite scared lah, tho I have not met the prof, I can feel that he is like Mdm Teng lah. the way he talks in his email.. aiyo.. I am so sad.. (I am not saying being taught by mdm teng is sad okie) I am just scared.. Usually at the beginning of the term, saying keep up with the tutoria/homework is easy. but when you really start, haha I think everyone knows how hard it is lah.. (maybe it's not a problem for those in THE S01A) I still remember last yr how I lost track with my statistics tutoria in the SYF concert period.. I kept saying nvm lah, during the June holiday I can catch up with all the work, but the fact was that till now, I have not finished my Statistics tutorial (to be honest, there are at least 3 tutorials I have never touched at all lah..) Dunno how I managed an A in the A levels.. haha I dunno what will happen in my uni year, but I am quite sure that I need to put in a lot of effort in keep up with the lectures and homework.. Maybe not having CO here is a bliss, ha who knows?

I have never been a mugger in the past 2 years, and I think it is a waste, so now I will start to be one.. haha Let me taste the feeling of always being the first to submit homework..

Tml is the US labor day holiday, last day before lessons start.. getting ready for my uni life!!

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
