Entry: Psyched Up About Complex Numbers... Monday, May 10, 2004



Just came back from college. Took my bath and spending time checking mails and updating my blog as usual. What makes this day different from all other days was I am so CRAZYabout complex numbers! Since the time I woke up till not long ago, my mind was full of z = r(cosθ + i sinθ), z = a + bi and blablablah... Since my seat in class is like the NORTH POLE of the class, I quietly "conquered" Mei Fong's place (Phew! Luckily she has MUET today...Or else Class War II will start) Yeah, well, basicly I was like so into complex numbers that I didn't realise Eugene was walking beside me.

Here goes the 'blur'est conversation I've ever had :

Eugene : Hey Ivan!

Ivan : Hey! I didn't realise u. When did u sneak up beside me?

Eugene : Hello...I was walking beside u for like 20 secs. By the way, who are you looking at la? Your old flame?

Ivan : Huh? Old fart? What're u talking about?

Eugene : I said OLD FLAME! Man, you must be thinking of a girl la.*Looks behind*

Ivan : Nah, not thinking about girls now. Oh ya, speaking about Farts....I have to go release some weight.

Eugene : Tokyo Bomb?

Ivan : Yeah, more like Tokyo's Water Gun!

I rushed to the toilet beside the Taylor's Placement center (Have been holding it since about half an hour ago)...*thinks* Shouldn't have drank so much just now.
*What in the ^%&(*&!!!!* Since when this toilet is only for staffs???? Rushed to the next floor and found out THE CLEANERS BLOCKED THE ENTRANCE!!! *Opens Jaw* Its just my reflexes to ran as fast as I could though the ever conjested Taylor's corridors to the toilet next floor. WHOAH!!!!! I couldn't tell how glad I am to find a toilet that is available! I could almost kiss the toilet bowl if I had to hold my bladder any longer.


Okay, after the dramatic sequence of toilet visits, its finally time to go to Biology Lab 2. Met up with my classmates and Wen Ming and Jessica tried to stand on the bricks to show that they are taller than me and Calvin.(NOT!) Anyway, we did this potometer experiment (which was really a failure). First, Ms. Vanitha said we had to do this experiment in twos. As the weather outside can barbeque a sausage in seconds and I had no idea what happened to the air-con. I just HAD *sarcastically* to shift to the back of the lab for the fan. And since I was alone there, Vanitha paired Jessica and I together. *I think we make the worst team in history* Did this lousy experiment 3 times with 4 different syringe + capillary tube.
1st experiment : We are supposed to add some vaseline to the connection between the syringe and the capillary tube. And Jessica was like so afraid that the petroleum jelly were to smear on her hands. The tube ended up leaking and the whole experiment was foiled. Had to do it again. Fine...

2nd experiment : Frustrated with the last experiment, Jess added more vaseline to the connected parts of the tube. Okay, went back to the table right at the back and re-do the experiment. JUST TO FIND OUT THAT NOW...THAT RUBBER TUBE HAS HOLES!!! As we pump the water from the syringe to the tube, water starts spraying out. We ended up getting even more frustrated and changed the entire apparatus.

3rd experiment : This time I was so mad at the tube..I decided to smear the entire rubber part of the tube with vaseline. BIIIIGGG MISTAKE! I ended up clogging the tube and water can't even pass through it....&(^*&&^!!! BAH!!

4th experiment : Did everything correctly this time. Only thing...or should I say its this "thing" which causes all other groups in my class to fail this experiment today. As I pump the water down the tube, I seriously think that something is very wrong with the apparatus. Air starts to flow back into the syringe. Hmm...Well, at least I am not the only one who experienced the same thing today.

In the end, the entire class got sick of doing the experiment and surrendered. So we just gathered around a table and chitchatted. From exams to class trips to sex education. *oh well..some of us may be future doctors someday..learning something extra wouldn't hurt*

Thats all for today. Guess I better finish up with my complex numbers. Have A Nice Day!



The color blue has a calming effect on people. All the daily stress and troubles are absorbed by the blue. Awakening honest souls which have no lies. Summer... Summer... is the season that is colored by blue...
