MATHS again

Now things are getting more complicated. I took 2 maths paper; 260 and 253 and both of them are interesting.

I like the idea of 260 where I could see how it is applied in the world. Sometimes I have no idea that a simple system like bycycle movement is actually do have connection with equilibrium point and the eigenvectors. And what I love most of 253 is the lecturer himself. I adore the way he teach us. I could see how enthusiastic he is towards the subject he thought and how deep he understand a certain thing. That is why he could relate everything he learn with the real world, like the application of Fourier series in the heat convection and in music even they are in different field. That is the attitude when we really want to learn something, we will search for it just for the sake of knowledge itself and not for the sake of the exam like what most of the student are doing right now. Maybe that is where we could measure the quality of the knowledge. I cant afford to sleep in his class since what he usually said is not in the text book. He is just so fantastic.

Eventhough 260 and 253 are two different papers, but somehow we are talking about the same thing. Both Alastair and Powell are talking bout max and min point. eigenvalues, eigenvectors and Jacobian. But it is only how they see things and how they interpret them differently. How strange isnt it? In this world people are seeing the same thing but we will interpret things differently. Both you and I might see the same tree and feel the same wind, but you may think that "wow how refreshing and how this cool air will make you feel good" and the other person might think "It is going to rain". It all depends on our knowledge and our heart. That is world. Now I wish I could combine both 253 and 260, digest them well so that I could find the common thing between them and at the same time explain both of them well, Then I wont be confused anymore.

Our Eid celebration

It has been a while since I updated here. So many things happen in my life that I want to share especially about our raya celebration here, but just an overview about it. Not in so much detail.

Even we are far from home, but we still prepared some home dishes, or should I say lots of home dishes in order to celebrate Eid Fitri. All of them are prepared by my kind Bio and Chemistry friends since Math students have a test that afternoon. All of them patiently wait till we finished our battle in the exam hall. One of the war that we have to face, maybe we don’t raise up our swords or ‘pertumpahan darah’ like Rasulallah did in Badar War. But it reminded me of the same thing. Then we celebrated it together in 3D, like a big family of mine. Thank you my fellow friends. How much I appreciated your presence in my life, Thank You

Bermaaf-maafan in action

Our weekend shedule also full with the open houses invitation. kalah raya dekat Malaysia. If I was in Malaysia, we oncelebrated it for a week and thats it. Whats more in Kelantan, where we celebrated AidilAdha much longer and more joyous then EidFitri. But I wonder how this AidilAdha will feel like? With no Tok Ayah and nenek around? Will I feel the same?

Dapur Team

That was last 3 weeks occasion. The latest event is our IB open houses held at I-Space; an international lounge on the third floor of the Kate Edger building. Everybody was surprised how on earth we could book such a place without establishing a formal club. All thanks to our manager and the organizer, with their good public relation we are able to book that exclusive place. At first, I was afraid, how are we gonna host an occasion for around 200 guests? And how are we going to cook 17 chickens in this small kitchen with limited pan size? And what are we going to do if we don’t provide enough food for the guest? But alhamdulillah, the occasion went smoothly with no problem at all. Alhamdulillah, how thankful I am I cant say. With everyone help, we are able to make it through and everybody was satisfied with the food and happy about the occasion. As a host, what else could we say? We are more than happy than you. Thank you Allah.

My lecturer once said

My favourite lecturer told us something that makes me think of something today

"Mathematician handle things in two ways. First use the theorem strictly and trying their best to prove them while the other group will use their imagination / intuition to help them understand bout a specific problem. They dont bother much bout the theorem"

which side am I belong? I wonder. But what I am sure is I envy of people who are in the second group like the lecturer and the tutor here. I admire the way they handle the math problem. I remembered asking one tutor in the Science Space here, without using any formula he helped me solving the problem. The way he describe the situation and how he visualize the plane and described the situation vividly really mesmerized me.

But I dont think I am on the right path now. Now we are more focussing on the problem and try our best to settle them, following step by step given by the lecture without bothering much the mathematical image of it. Feel like a human calculator actually and it doest suppose to be like that. I want to be in the second group, who purely love mathematics and could settle the problem because I understand it not because I memorize the step. One day I'll be one, Insya ALlah

Everyone are special in their own way

"Everyone is special in their own way,

we make each other strong

we are not the same

we are different in a good way

together's where we belong"

"we are all in this together,

once we know that we are,

we're all stars,

and we see that,

we're all in this together,

when we stand, hand in hand make our dream come true

I was finishing my assignments with some of my friends. some of were chit chatting while holding their pen on and some are eating to keep them awake. Then one of my friend suddenly mention, "I want a be like you, sitting wuietely and focussing on the work rather than talking here and there like me". But I replied, what a boring world it would be if everyone is like me. It reminded me of a Barney song I watched years ago with my little Izzah, and I smile alone.

I wonder what does it feel like if everyone is the same. Everyone is quiete, would rather do his or her wrk rather than socializing, have the some likes and dislikes. Boring isnt i? Dont want to imagine it somehow=) Everyone is unique in their own way. Each and everyone of us have our own preference and way how we did our way, how we carry on living. And that is why you are special.

we are bound with our strength and our weaknesses. We live in the society so that we could learn from others and improve ourself to be a better person. If everyone is the same, how is it possible for us to change? It is the imperection we have that could complete others. For example, 'A' might be good at cooking but rather have a small appetite and 'B', a person with a big appetite might think that he or she has a bad attitude. But without realizing, it is you (B) who have completed A. What a perfect match and see, both A and B are special in their own way.

So dont feel bad about yourself. Keep your head high cause you are SPECIAL in you OWN WAY. Just like what the video said.
