post.

apparently, this is my 99th post on this blog o.O
meaning next one will be the 100th...hope to post something special/different from before. hope la =/
hmm. maybe i delete a few previous posts so that the next wont be the 100th XD

this is probably somewhat a random post on DMP reviews since im kinda bored these few (holi)days...

k first lets recall what modules i took:

bio: a closer look at life (frog dissection)
bio: science and ethics in movies: lorenzo's oil
maths: linear algebra
philo: logically speaking...
philo: mind: is it matter?
eng/ss: war in the time of peace: concepts in cold war
SS: Act of Terrorism in Singapore/RI: Awareness, preparedness and civic-consciousness

hmm.
frog dissection was VERY FUN. ok sadistic part aside, i think the frog dissection is really very interesting la. seems it was quite popular too, the module. strongly advise all to take. except maybe the faint-hearted =X
lorenzo's oil...ok la got nice movie + documentary to watch. very slack =p, and perhaps it was..enlightening to some extent on well...science and ethics.
linear algebra was abit gg though. the topic was A level FURTHER maths, wth. ppl go rjc normally take challenging maths nia (its easier than further maths, despite what the name might suggest). so sibei hard lor, eigenvalue eigenvector ftw. lucky i passed the test...barely. 10/20 >.< ok but i guess i might try taking another maths module next year...for god knows why reason.
logically speaking was, abit diao. truth tables and all didnt seem to make much common sense to me. might be useful in arguments (as in daily, not philosophical), but...its too much of a hassle to understand la.
mind: is it matter is, unfortunately, worse. the whole module was kinda unorganised, with litte or no clear objectives. or it may be just because i didnt go for the first lesson, as i had jap eoy oral =/ in any case...not particulary enjoyable ba.
cold war was interesting. especially when its our dear ss teacher mr janus lim whos teaching...lol. im making it sound like the other teacher sucks though. =X no la hehe. elsa chew ok ba.
terrorism in ri module >< ok it was average. at least got some stuff on terrorism and all...however might i say that it might have all or mostly been covered in the homefront security module le.. =.= zzz. but its average la, the module.

i think this year's dmp was rather hastily chosen. at least for me. maybe next year i should take more time and effort into carefully considering what to take. and i dont think we should be bothered by the assessment given. the module content is more important ba. oh ya hopefully can get modules with friends too ;)

tmr school starting le...i dunno, guess it might be sian to return to that pretty boring life. but its after eoys...and i guess things COULD be different. say, game spammage =D but also got eoy results...*cross fingers* =X

hmm. training resumes tmr also. haiz. wonder what happens now.
