Multiple learning thingy

Firstly, here is my learning profile.

As you (and I) can see, I am abnormally strong in the logic (number smart) area and not as good in the music, picture, word and body smart, as deduced from what I think of myself. Anyway, I am also a naturalist, which means i love nature and would not bear to hurt an ant, which i will gladly do, on the contrary.

Right. I am supposed to write the implications of what i feel the test. Well, I think that the test is too dependent on the truthfulness and honesty of the person taking the test so it might reflect some inaccuracy. Besides, humble (*ahem*) people like (*ahem*) me will put myself down when doing such tests, so these results may not be accurate in painting a true picture of me. From this chart, I can see that I am clumsy (not body smart), cumbersome about words (not word smart), bad at visualising (not picture smart, which is somehow wrong because i remember stuff by seeing it in my head.) and not very musical ( which i gladly accept because i never liked music anyway. So is it true? I am not one to gauge although this test says I am intra-personal (Myself smart), which means that i know myself very well. Still, let others ponder on the accuracy of this test and its portrayal of me.
Goodbye.

Revamped blog

Just a very short post on the changes made to this blog...

Lunar new year has finally arrived and now orange tigers and tigers inscribed on oranges are popping out of nowhere and given as presents to the elder generations. It is also a new year of change and thus I have chosen this time to announce the change of my blog.

Actually, it is a very simple revamp as all i did was to change the template, some messages, and resume all the functions hidden previously in my last blog skin. Now, everyone who can visit my blog will be able to play pinball, delve through my archives, chat and most importantly, follow my blog.

HINT: Please follow this blog.

Besides, tell everybody you know to follow this blog. With such a short url of "imaginary-numbers-are-very-wait-was-it-without-the-very-never-mind-you-can-just-try-both-fun.blogspot.com, I just cannot understand why nobody has the initiative to follow my blog.

Final remainder:follow my blog and post your comments.

Thanks and bye.

PS. this post was (i mean is being edited now) edited by yi pin.

Firstly, thank you Ernest for providing me feedback. I have decided to remove the joke and put it in the subtitle section. unfortunately, it has been replaced by a message even longer than my joke. it is my new slogan. This slogan is just a small snippet into my personality and I have inserted a little humour in it just to lighten things up.

Oh and I changed the layout a little by shifting the widgets around, placing them in order of importance. I have aligned the chat box with all the other widgets after being enlightened on the way to do that. Thats about all.

Yi Pin going off again..

Passions

Hi again for a third posting of this blog in this year. today, I will be posting about my interests and passions in particular.

As almost everybody in the class knows, I am quite good in math and thus have a passion in the subject. However, not everybody knows why math is so fascinating, and these are the people who normally do not appreciate math and hate it for its complexities. To say simply, math is a study of patterns and all formulas, conjectures and proofs are all different parities of patterns (proof as a negative pattern as it seeks to justify a pattern).

Perhaps many think that math Olympiad is vastly different from normal math as a subject, and it deals with higher level problems that we cannot approach. that is a wrong mindset as Mr Rong has put forth to us, under the masquerade of normal math questions. Yes, many of those questions qre extracted from competitions or olympiad books so now you can feel more gratified that you cannot solve the problem, and more often than not, I cannot too.

Take Tuesday's AMC10 as an example. It was so-called very hard but in a math competition, it is best to keep your mind sharp and your options wide. This way, you will be able to spot patterns faster and more effectively, giving you more time to work out the interior sub-problems within the problem.

Thus what I am trying to bring across is, math olympiad is the art of grasping your list of methods, formulas, and tricks in your palm and to work their magic when the time comes (this may sound familiar because it is quoted by Dr... Tan? Wong? Ng? sorry I forgot). Frequently, one should combine your methods and working backwards is another good skill.

In all, I am just simplifying math olympaid as a subject and I am just seeking to break the stereotype that math olympiad is unapproachable.

PS. sorry for the fluctuating writing style. I have been trying out many writing styles and so far this is the most formal one. I think this is what you call "climax" in the list of rhetorics, although I am not writing a speech it is clearly ironical my "climax" seems to be the most bland.
