Square Root of Three
I'm sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The the is all that's good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trickm
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I'll neve see the sun,
as 1.7321
Such is my reality,
a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
As quetly co-waltzing by,
together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed
- Dave Feinberg
This is one sweet poem that Kumar said to Vanessa in the movie
Love it man.
Harold and Kumar
The show actually about 2 asian guys (korean and indian) going around doing stupid things and making a fool out of themselves. and Kumar actually looks like Saleh! I wonder are they long lost brothers lol.
After the movie i went back to sch for NP strings, and meet up with wx and siong then went tgt to the clubhouse. They taught us some basics of guitar and some theory. As we were playing around, we manage to chat with a pro alumini member. He can actually sing and play the guitar at the same time! the 3 of us awe in wonderment as he play some of the famous jay chou songs.
I'm all flare up for guitar!

Success
As for me, I would rank interest over money, because my definition of success is doing what I like and interested in because I feel that you can only be successful if you like doing what you do. For example, I would choose a job that I am really interested in than a job that pays a good amount of money but doing something that I am not interested in. By doing so, I will have a passion for my career. With passion, we are energised to do bigger and bolder things, to be more than what we think we can be. Interest will motivate me to be enthusiastic in my career and care deeply about what I do.
My Vision, “I will do something I like, using my ability to persevere through all hardships and do my best in whatever I do, and in so doing achieve happiness and contentment.”
In order to achieve what I wrote above, I need to have the keys to success. The keys to success are acquiring a positive mindset, prepare and plan myself for success and persevere.
The first thing I need to do in order to be successful is to acquire a positive mindset. Without a positive mindset I cannot move on to a higher level or worst getting dragged down by negative thoughts.
The next thing I have to do is to prepare for success. I have to identify my own strengths, advantages and limitations. I must consider the level of competence, skills or knowledge, required to accomplish the goal or vision. I should be open to learning and training opportunities as it allows me to hone my skills, knowledge and competencies required for success. In the process of getting successful, we must be at optimum physically, emotionally and mentally. Also, we have to plan a route by setting SMART goals and focus my activities toward achieving the goals.
Lastly, I have to persevere through all the hardship and obstacles that I encounter. I have to learn how to deal with disappointments and setbacks. I have to keep calm whenever I encounter an adverse situation. In adverse situation, we tend to blame our self or to engage in self-defeating thoughts. We should believe in our ability to succeed and overcome the setback. Lastly, we should have an action plan to deal with the situation.

The next topic we were taught in LMS is Anger Management.
In the past, I always thought that I was very good at anger management as I have never gotten into fights or very serious quarrels with my peers until one incident that changed my thinking…I got into a fight with my friend.
Anger management means how you manage your anger in a correct and peaceful way. Anger is a negative emotion and it can lead to quarrels or worst, fights. I discovered that if we experience anger on a regular basis, we would have the risk of serious health problems such as hypertension, digestive problems, and other chronic illnesses. Our body will also show signs of anger like tightened muscles, tightened fist, heavy breathing and not able to think properly. So being happy is the best remedy for good health.
People normally express the anger when they are angry. Some people direct their anger at the wrong target and displace to their friends and families. This can cause unhappiness between your friends and families, and the problem still haven’t resolved. There are many ways to manage your anger. One of the effective ways is to use COW (Control Outburst Withdrawal). As for me, I would try to distract myself from that source of anger and control my emotions and behaviour. We should set aside from negative thinking as they can affect your mood and your response to the situation. When that happens, we normally jump to conclusions and interpret things negatively.
When it comes to teamwork, I am fortunate to be with my classmates and they are good teammates. We were able to communicate and discuss on our project effectively and complete our projects in time. Although, sometimes we have a little quarrel here and there, we manage our anger well and resolve the conflict.In short, after attending the topic on anger management, I find myself being more able to manage my negative emotions and it prevents me from having serious conflicts with my peers.
