Jus came back from my 3rd paper! It was the worst that I have taken so far--I couldn't do a 18 marks question!! Why? Cos the question requires application of MATRIX (finding determinant, solving a series of equations), and I dunno how!! Wonder how I managed to pass that module the last time, but keyword is "last time", maybe that's how. I've to pray even harder for this module. My target: B!!!
Yesterday's paper was just slightly better. There were so many people leaving the exam hall early; I wanted to as well, cos I finished all that I know and can do in the first hour. After that, I spend all the time figuring out what to do with that one question that's 10 marks. As good as not doing it in the end. Always have a feeling of being cheated by this one lecturer (he's an interesting lecturer, but...) cos there's so much to memorise for Biochemistry for his section, and yet he set a question purely on stereoisomers. Anyone who has taken Chemistry will know-so it's a giveaway! I should thank Ms Monica Wong for teaching me that last time. Haha.
What the "cheaterbug" lecturer said during many of his lectures...
1. "Scientists draw conclusions, sometimes funny conclusions."
So what happened to this group of scientists is that they want to see whether the no. of legs a frog has will affect its hopping ability. So they had a frog hop normally when one clap his hands, and they wrote 'frog is hopping perfectly normal'. Then they cut one leg away, and they see the frog hopping with a little difficulty, and they wrote that down. They cut another one away, more difficulty; another one away. Finally, the last leg was cut away, and the frog could not hop at all. They wrote down 'frog loses its hearing ability'.
2. Why are scientists paid less than that in the corporate world? (this one he put in his lecture notes!! For fun, of cos, he says...)
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
By Law of Physics: Work done = Power x Time = Knowledge x Money
Or you can say, Money = Work done/Knowledge
Result: As knowledge increases, money decrease! (Reciprocal relationship)
3. Lesson to be learnt: "Sometimes things are not what they seem".
He and his wife met their frens (call them Mr. and Mrs. N) and they went out (both couples were newly wed). Both of them were riding on motorbikes with their wives. So his wife saw how tightly Mrs. N was hugging Mr. N and told him. When they were talking awhile after that, he told the couple, "You both are so loving, just see how tightly you hug him even when on the motorbike." Then Mrs N. replied, "Oh! I just wanted to make sure I was not going to fall down alone!"
So much for his sense of humour!
By the way, I told my fren and lab mate that I think this lecturer looks like one of the Teletubbies characters-the Indian one whose name is Dinky-Winky or sth. Then she replied, he looks like the Indian version of Mr. Bean. I agreed too. Wahaha...
Can't wait for Wednesday, which just happens to be tomorrow. Can have a good rest first then spend the rest of the two days studying for my last paper. First time I had so many papers consecutively, well it's all going to be over soon anyway! Perhaps I should go for a dip in the pool after tmr's paper. Nvm that I don't swim, jus being in the water is enough to make myself feel much more relaxed. Shall see...
Dinner time soon!... :p
