Definitions... by my Econometrics Lecturer

am now attending an econometrics (statistics in economics) lecture... was falling asleep so decided to do something which will wake myself up... like going online.... hee... anyway.. this lecturer has an hmm... interesting way of dealing with definitions... eg. 'An Unconditional Expectation is an Expectation that has no condition' or another 'an Independant variable is a variable that is independent.' hmm.... :p well.. he's not a bad lecturer, not at all, just that he has a hmm... simple of of defining definitions..;p still.. i like this lecturer because he explains clearly ( excluding definitions) and given my low proficiency in econometrics, is a welcome help.

well.. on another note, school has more or less started... 2nd week of school now, tutorials have yet to start, but the level of the courses i am taking this semester is taking a toll on me. (perhaps due to the difference in level of academic expectations i have experienced for the last 1 year). still.. it feels good to be learning and to be challenged. have no idea how long will the good feeling last, though i am pretty sure it will not be long, but for now.. let me enjoy the challenges of education.

the beauty of wireless....

here i am, sitting on the 'throne' and blogging... all these possible, only with wireless! (^o^) whee... hee... still... wireless have changed my life... i used to read while on the 'throne' but now... i can blog, surf the net, write emails and so much more! talk about effective use of time.. hee... but.. to think of it... is effective use of our time only work? are we only effective when we work... that work becomes the defining thing in our life? Singapore like many of the backward countries is undergoing the change into 3G, where we will be better equiped to be more effecient on the go, we can use our mobiles to connect at a gazillion megabytes per second (okok. maybe not a gazillion... how much is a gazillion anyway? o_O), where our lives will be controlled by our mobiles even more! my dad has up to now refused to 'embrace' the mobile/pagers gadgets... he always remark that these devices will control him (hmm... control him more than my mom does? nah...) true, we often say that it is convenience to have a mobile.. but also true that our debtors/enemies can easily use the same device to murder us with spam... hmmm... so where does one draw the line? hmm..... oh well.. for me.. i am not in the working force yet so effecient to me is hardly bout work..:D i like chatting so i won't mind if a debtor calls me up to chat (hurray for incoming-free!)...but... can i survive without a mobile? sure, if my friend next to me is carrying one..:p hee..
