yun has been working on my project for more than 2 months, i thot i was goingon smoothly, till last week when realised that something that seems so easy to prove turn out to be not. i'm losing sleep over it, i'm working at full steam over it, but still yet to succeed.
my supervisor told me to maybe put it off for the time being, cos i've been working too much on it.. i agree with him, but i feel like i haven't done enough to get it down. well, anyway, sometimes we do need to step back and llok at things from afar, maybe then we will be able to find out wat went wrong and make amendments. for the time being, i guess i was being stubborn and wanted to prove to my supervisor that i'm not the lousy gal who screwed up my intro talk big time. but now i guess my midterm talk is going to be not as fantastic as i hope it will be,becos the important proof has not been found!! even my powerful lecturer has not thought of a way to help me.
well, maybe i shall describe my supervisor for my project. Dear Professor Tay Yong Chiang (note: he IS a professor) is a man in his 30s-40s.. exact age can't really guage cos he's damn happening.. his physique is small-size, yet he's lean and fit. he sports a bald head, but i swear it's not due to his old age. i heard he has many images: the hawaiian shirt with sunglasses, the forever fever slinky bell-bottomed pants with fitting shirt, the short-shorts with naked body jogging attire, the hip-hop pants and baggy t-shirt.. the list goes on.. but i've only seen the last attire i mentioned. i praying hard that one day when i go find him , i can see him in forever fever retro attire!! *pray pray* he is a very nice guy (initially i thot otherwise) but he gets impatient with my rambling (as usual) once.. haha.. yun too luo suo!! the other day i went to look for him to bother him about my proof, he wore this baby blue t-shirt, with white jeans.. shuai! and flip flops too!!! there was this time he was deep in thot and curled up in his chair to think about things.. i mean, i would nv expect a lecturer to do that, at least in front of his student. he made himself seem so approachable that i bother him too much nowadays.. with my proof lah.. which are often incomplete or full of flaws.. oh yah, did i mention that he's teaching computing subjects instead of maths? things like discrete maths taught to CS student.. he's good rite? and one thing is: he is not from China or HK!! one of the rare few s'porean maths lecturer.. and he sprinkles a bit of "lors" and "lahs" in his conversation sometimes too.
Dear Qiang Ge (wat my dear usually call him, last time dear call him Professor X) is definitely worth our respect, he stimulates thinking, he is approachable, he is very smart (obviously), and capable.. i admire him. period..
after saying so much, i hope this can gimme somemore inspiration to work on my proof.. haha.. tell u all more abt another lecturer of mine, who's going to be my examiner for my project next time. stay tuned for the shuai ge lecturer, Professor Zhao Gongyun! till then.. ciaoz!!
