Sunday

Watched 倚天屠龍記 yesterday night till 4am.. Really nice story. Every chinese should know it. Anyway, today was a fun day. Soomin and Darren and Catherine came to hq today. (surprise, surprise) They watched a lot of jay chou and luo zhi qiang and S.H.E while darren and i played pool. Sad to say that Darren is still as thin.. "How to find girlfriend in JC"?? Thus as his good friend, i offered him a pack of ensure plus milk drink, "a nutritional supplement formulated for individuals with or at risk of developing malnutrition". Yupp, he definitely fits the bill. Glad to say that after taking the magic drink, he gained 1 kg. Nah, he didn't really. He needs to eat more. And my pool skills really suck now. Can't string 4-5 pots confidently now.

After about half and hour or so, Kenenth and Leeyen arrived as expected. Catherine left shortly after that, and i realized that the only words i said to her were "Hi" and "Bye". Sad. Isabel's right, useless male species. I Bet she was refering largely to me. Then we proceeded to play mahjong, while Soomin surfed the net on my beautiful bravia. Darren seemed to have lost some of his mahjong skills, while Kenneth and Leeyen were still as pro as ever. After that we had some of my Mum's beehoon. Then Soomin and Darren had to leave. After that was a bit of pool and mahjong and Kenneth and me relished the good old days by watching the TPA cup 06 videos. Its funny how time flies. It seemed like just yesterday Hexun and Teck Siang were asking me to teach them how to play. And the TPA was set up. And we were the best. Now Hexun is gone, I haven't seen Teck Siang for almost half a year, and Daniel's gone to join the pool fusion clique. Even Kenneth doesn't seem to play so much nowadays...

For dinner we had my Mum's first time chicken curry. It was really quite good, although i kept telling her its not hot enough. Curry and all chilli related dishes is supposed to be Burning hot, Spicy till the all the nerves in your tongue scream for help, and the heat from the chilli is so hot that it rushes up to your brain and numbs your tongue. Shiok man. Haha.. Anyway the curry was far from that, but since i loved curry, i decided to have 2 big servings of it.. Who said chemo patients had no appetite? After that its more pool and chitchat, and finally they had to leave. I was quite relived actually because i was very tired. Apparently I'm not a young kid anymore, can't play pool for 2-3 hours without feeling tired. After that i did a bit of Maths, still working on extending normal functions like sinx and e to the power of x to complex values of x. Its really fun. Finally know what the hyperbolic trigonometric functions are.

And here is the maths challenge for today. Who can tell me whats does this expression equal to?

√(x²) = ?

Please give your answers in the tagboard. :D
Clue: If its that easy it won't be a challenge.

P.S. to all those people who thought this blog was only bout math, i finally have non-mathematics dominated post.
