I had this really really weird dream the other day. I was eating watermelon on the roof of Esplanade and watching sunset, then, I received a phone call telling me that the concert is starting. So I ran to the concert hall--forget about the watermelon, and found that the concert is actually in Victoria Concert Hall. So I ran out of Esplanade and crossed the Singapore river.

I was running along the road just beside the Singapore river, but it seems much further than what I remembered. I ran for almost one hour(in sleep of course) and suddenly the scenery just changed to Huron River-a river in Ann Arbor, and at the end of the road, it was what we call Diag, the parade square or something like that in UMich.

So I was really stressed up, and someone called and said they couldn't find me, so they are going to eat in S11 first. This made me really sad. Then my phone started vibrating again, and... err... it was the wrongly set alarm clock... I stunned for the next one hour in bed and was eventually 10 minutes late for work...

Something very nice...

Knowledge is what we know
Also, what we know we do not know.

We discover what we do not know
Essentially by what we know
Thus knowledge expands.

With more knowledge we come to know
More of what we do not know.
Thus knowledge expands endlessly.

All knowledge is, in final analysis, history.
All sciences are, in the abstract, mathematics.
All judgements are, in their rationale, statistics.

STATISTICS AND TRUTH Putting Chance to Work

Nice yea?

btw, I am into my second week of internship and I have to say that I really started to love it... It is interesting to play with all the data--and squeeze whatever you are expected from it... Now I really came to this point that I understand what Ms Wang meant by appreciation to the beauty of mathematics--well I mean for me it's the beauty of statistics, but not much difference right?
