- + hamsters - Last Semester Roundup Did a bit more for my FYP, which I should be able to complete one way or another, if in reduced form, and which doesn't matter even if I get a C-. [Ok lah, at least B lah, I hope] Still managing ok for Natural Language Processing, which also doesn't matter even if I get a C-. [A- at least should be achievable] Got my second essay (an A-) for Development Economics back, and it doesn't matter even if I get a C-. [A- and above possible] Retrieved my midterm for Environmental Economics (26/30), felt the professor was exceedingly generous to give me a 6/10 for the last question (I wouldn't have given myself more than maybe a 3), though he was probably as generous to everyone else, and yes you guessed it, it doesn't matter even if I get a C-. [A- and above possible] And uh, was happy to just pass for my first Macroeconomics III assignment. As Donald Rumsfeld said, "There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know." I am split between using known unknown and unknown unknown to describe the module, but yes, it doesn't matter even if I get a C-. [Please let me get a B- at least]  And my GRE scores also came in the mail, officially ending the five-month long survey. Only got a soul-crushing 5.5/6 in the Analytical Writing section, but I suppose I will have to live with that. Side-note: ETS supposedly uses a computer to rate the essays as well, which is likely something similar to the Flesch-Kincaid readability statistics in Microsoft Word (under Spelling & Grammar), i.e. string those complex sentences together! RT RT! <psw> he had a loser friend who failed sit-ups <psw> :S <psw> who the f**k will fail sit-ups? <psw> =.= (Guess who?) Completed the second session of the eight-session long Phase I Remedial Training yesterday. Mr. Ham will be helping to illustrate what the RT may or may not have looked like. Dad was nice enough to drive me to Bedok Camp once more, where I strode in armed with towel (useful everywhere), waterbottle and identity card, and was promptly told by the sentry to tuck in my singlet. Waited twenty minutes to in-process (register) myself, and then waited perhaps another twenty in the multi-purpose hall. Waiting is, of course, a time-honoured practice in the Army. Did the usual warm-up, and then our PTI got us to sit in the grandstand and began calling out random names and asking people to introduce themselves. There were four captains and a former regular staff sergeant (who made no bones that it was quite a waste of time), but unfortunately no joker to lighten the mood further as the PTI noted sagely. Finally we were lined up on the track to begin, and the PTI pulled his first stunt by reversing the direction of the run, so that those who thought they were at the back were now at the front and vice versa. Not too affected since I was smack in the middle of the pack, and in the end things would even themselves out again anyhow as those who didn't really want to push themselves would straggle. Mr. Ham demonstrating Got near the front as the 20 minute jog went on. It brought me back to the old JC dragonboating days, though of course the intensity here was a notch lower. Felt like I could go on forever in the beginning, but as the pace began to pick up, I was reminded of why I had never gone under 10 minutes for the 2.4km.  Mr. Ham says, look good when exercising! Style your hair! It was tiring, but sweating some did make me feel good. Calisthenics was next, and frankly the crunches didn't tax my abs at all - my neck appeared to take the brunt of the strain. Then again, there was another guy from a different group blazing past who supposedly got 5 points in all his stations and a Gold timing for the 2.4km - but failed his sit-ups too. Kind of like me, except for the 5 points in all stations and Gold timing for the 2.4km parts.  Note legs should be bent and crossed in the air Next up were flutter kicks, done by raising both legs up and kicking them up and down as in the front crawl motion, keeping them straight and extended. Again, it was my thighs that felt the burn, and not my lower abs as supposed. What are my abs doing for their keep?  Kicks should be vertically up and down Mr. Ham... And finally the bridge and push-ups. I might have thought that holding one's midsection off the ground for a minute with support from elbows and toes only was chickenfeed. Well, no longer. Not after a ton of crunches and flutter kicks anyway.  Keep yer butt up! Supper after RT with Dad after we took a short detour to his office, where I found my copy of Ralph D. Sawyer's translation of Sun Tzu's Art of War that I thought I had lost. Nice end to a nice day. Oh, and I was caught by a ballad on Love 97.2FM on the way to Bedok, and this time I managed to remember enough phrases to Google it up. It turned out to be Mavis Hee's (许美静) 铁窗. I'm quite the banana in my taste for songs and literature, seeing that I am undoubtedly more comfortable with English than Mandarin. Still, that song was touching enough. 我伸出手却只是冰冷铁窗 若现实它总教人更加悲伤 就让我在回忆里继续梦幻... 我以为我从此能快乐飞翔 在梦醒後却只是冰冷铁窗 若现实它能教人更加勇敢 就让我在地狱里等待天堂..." Next: I Must Be Joking
