on the unique and weird universe that we are living in..

ended my Physics module today.
i had remembered the time when i was studying for my last semester exam..
ws had been telling me about this Einstein mod.
tempted and worried..
i have been keeping this mod in mind..
and how time flies..
i am done with this mod.
Feels good!

have remembered the jitter that i first started.
why is light so special?
why is Einstein so famous?
why we will age slower if we are moving at high velocity compared to one staying on the earth?
why there is this thing call special and general relativity?
why it doesnt make sense to me?
why i dOnt see the stunness as the rest of the class have?

so many why-s..
so many blurness..
but as the class progresses..
though not proficient in these theories..
but hey..
at least i can talk to u about these issues intelligently for 2 minutes!

that ws told me A- can easy easy get..
so i was putting all my bets on it.
but when the day come for me to take my first mid term..
i practically sweat in the cold lt.
i tot i am going to die!
hahaha..
all the concepts that the lecturer had said was so clear in the head.
but how come the qns dun make sense.
ALL I CAN say about this lecturer is..
HE IS DAMN GOOD, DAMN FARNIE and DAMN LAO JIAN

hahah..
or perhaps..
i have tot it will be like science of music.
go in come out.

oh well, at least i have got a B.
a not very good result.
but a satisfied one.
despite the fact that at the last 15 min..
i almost tigam 15 qns.
hahahahahaha..

I was regretful initially..
but somehow the lecturer was really engaging and definitely a good driller for concept.
elevating me from the bOring relativities..
i got to knw the universe.
the stars!
which is my all time fav since young..
perhaps it is because stars and horoscope was so closely related.
i can still remember the "wah" and "wooh" when Prof chan was talking about the stars.
and the big bang which i know had suddenly make sense to me.

after the break.. comes the worst part.
QM - Quantum Mechanics.
everybody was saying "bless you"
i really thought.. I am really in deep shit..
but somehow..
QM fascinates more than anything..
though always doze off or go stunned during the lecture..
at the end of the day..
i always feel GOOD
Good in a sense that i feel i have learnt.
and best of all..
i can talk intelligently for these topic for 2 mins [to qoute what the prof says]
and i must say..
Einstein is really not that great..
no wonder i fall asleep in "his" classs... hahaha..
and totally had no head or tail sometimes.

One thing i must say about QM is that sometimes in the lecture..
i always have this de ja vu of me when i was small.
i had alot of different reference books and encyclopedia at hm and it is always what i choose to read when i am bored (when i was small) [encyclopedia not tt often.. i choose the interesting part and skip the borings]
i love the reference books better.. where there is alot of interesting facts
and it got me so excited.. (but once again.. that was a long long time ago)
attending the QM lecture had made me feel the same way too..
i suppose this is to compensate what i have missed out during my teenage years..
hahaha

and today.. i am done with this mod..
feel relieved to a great extent..
but nontheless..
had felt quite empty somewhere in my heart
and so these 20 lectures..
is what i have learnt.
and that is all i am going to learnt for higher physics..
and so..
this concludes my mon n thurs trip to the sci..

i will miss my prof and the weird qns in test he gave me.. hahaha
i am still sore abt the trickyness!
and i will remember the time he wore 2 different color socks to teach us the EPR prob.
i will never forget this de lor!
and the weird videos and instruments he had in class to make the lesson so lively.
i think i will use QM alot from now on to ji siao boi.
and whenever i see a cat i will think of strotinger(think wrong spelling) cat
and all the other states that is in the other parallel universe..
GOsh!

this is getting weird..
