First week of school is over. Was in school for almost everyday. Yawn. Night classes can be really tiring. As there's only one lecture each week (modules conducted in the day have two lectures each week) , the lecturer tries to condense the materials and cover as much of them as possible in the limited time. So most of the stuff are mentioned briefly, and on our part, we need to read up and fill up the details in order to gain a better understanding.

For one of the module, I was the only person on the class roaster. Yah yah, only my name was on the class list. Luckily when I attended the class, more people were present. I think there were 8 students. BUT, half of them approached me, and told me they would be dropping the class. I slept at 2am the next morning, because I was thinking of some of the proofs which the lecturer left to us as homework. And I went back to school the next day to read up on Riesz basis and frames. >.< Eventually, I was buried under 5 thick books in the library.

I find this kind of life rather fulfilling, but at the same time, mentally tiring. Haha. Of course I could have heck
care or something, but I feel that since I'm spending my youth on this masters course, I should try to gain some knowledge and acquire some skills in the process. And because I'm getting a higher stipend, I believe I should be aiming to achieve more than what my fellow peers are aiming for.

Went to have dinner with qy and ll last night. Haha. Sizzler is having some promotion. We ordered three full meals at the price of two. I was really full after the peaches, and had to give the ice cream a miss. So full that at a certain point, I felt like puking. Haha. Had a good laugh last night, I think that kind of helped in the food digestion. Lol. And I saw this 3-D doraemon jigsaw puzzle last night. Too bad the shop was already closed, and I couldn't go in to check out the price. kh sent the picture to me:



I heard the head can be rotated. Haha.

I got two jigsaw puzzles last Sunday. Hehe. Both 1000 pieces. $2.90 each. Lol. The last time I got a 500 pieces jigsaw, it cost like around $35. Of course the quality is better. But then, when the jigsaw is framed up, who would notice the quality.



ok, gonna go and do some work liao. Sigh.
