currently listening to - Golem's Song
feeling - a tad bit tired
headache. after the Lord of the Rings marathon. i realised we need some mental strength to withstand the long extended edition of the 3 movies. The Fellowship of the Ring was fine, coz i've actually watched its extended edition before, some few years ago at my friend's house. as for The Two Towers and The Return of The King.... 4 hours each was LOOOOOONG.
it's the senkei daisuu i'm telling you. been staying in the library solving questions from the many thick encyclopedia-sized math books.. around 2 days per week. for almost a month. because i was told that this subject is the easiest to score full marks and that i must score it. since the calculus one wasn't so examiner-friendly (thank god for the past-year papers from senpais i have clues for the paper though).
however, you will find that hard work do not always pay off. you sit in the exam hall fully prepared, only to realise that there are 4 questions given: i) find the determinant, ii) find c when the set of equations have only one solution, many solutions and no solutions at all, iii) solve the simultaneous equations, iv) find the inverse matrix.
in other words... YOU DON'T HAVE TO STUDY HARD TO GET CREDITS FOR LINEAR ALGEBRA.
arrrrrrghhh....
but to deal with careless mistakes, i solved the "omake" question (v) to get myself some bonus points.
and then we left the exam hall at 10.30am. for home. but who could have guessed that the Yamanote Line stopped (for both directions) because somebody tried to do a Gantz at the Ikebukuro station? ......... for those of you who don't understand.. someone threw himself onto the railway so that the train would hit him and tear him into pieces. but of course it didn't happen. i think. a rescue team was sent to get him out of the railway so that trains could move again.
this is what i heard when i was at Meguro. the southern part of Tokyo. so where was i heading again? Ikebukuro. the northern part of Tokyo. great. lucky enough for me, although i couldn't head back by the Yamanote Line, i could use the alternative Mita Line (which is not within the range of my traveling pass though).
things have not been going well here in Japan. it all started (?) with the death of the Farm Minister and ZARD. then the resignation of the Defense Minister because of the "Hiroshima problem". then the explosion at the Shibuya hot springs, the many fire accidents and killing and cheating.. and then the Niigata earthquakes. in fact i experience small earthquakes in Toyko almost every day recently.
and then the defeat of Abe and the Jimintou in the recent election. probably that's why it drove some supporters into despair and they decided to commit suicide in the train station. even the weather's gone crazy. the rainy season's supposed to be gone and for 2 nights, it's been pouring. sigh.
what am i saying all these depressing stuff.... must be the one ring. off to bed. tadaaaa~

My senkei sensei is so lousy....
Totally cun understand wat he said...
When i read other books then only i realized tat it is actually quite easy.
Yet, i think i din do tat well in the test.
Why? Because he set bout 7 questions in his paper....
Each question still hv sub questions...
The questions included calculating... and proving....
Siao 1.... so many.....
wah so sad? i actually prefer senkei than bisekibun... for now lah. actually math is much easier to accept than physics and chemistry for 1st term in tokodai...
the key is to do lots and lots of questions. then eventually you'll get the hand of it, even if you didn't attend class properly (i always ponteng senkei one ehehehehe). go to the library and find 問題解法 in the math section, it's quite helpful.
