Then something happened and I got split up from Teehao.. then I couldn't find anyone! So I was panicking and walking all over the place. Then finally I saw John again and we grouped up and..
Ya I can't remember anything else. I didn't even remember this dream until later on, but i did remember the next dream
**
Me and Weiqin have a tuition kid. Yes, I have no idea why two of us share one tuition kid.. maybe the tuition kid damn stupid so need to have two tutors. Or he's damn violent and I'm there as her bodyguard. -shrugs
Ok before I continue, some background context so you understand why this dream was odd - weiqin is my friend from JC and she's very very smart. She's excellent at math and physics and i occasionally ask her some questions posed to me by my tuition kids. She's just a very smart girl la ok.
Ok so me and weiqin go for our first tuition session with this special kid who needs 2 tutors at once. To be honest I can't really remember if it's a guy or girl but I -think- it's a guy. So we'll assume he's a he.
So the first question he posed us was a Math one, and I can't remember exactly what it was, it was something like
Show that
9^2 + 25^5 = 3^4 + 5^10
Ok i'm not even sure if this is mathematically correct but it was something to do with indices! Like you know those must change the base. It wasn't like super easy but also not super complicated. Just challenging enough to make you think for a second.
And guess what - weiqin couldn't solve it!! It's like, both of us were stumped and we were like redfaced and like ohshitfirsttuitionclassandwecan'tdothefirstquestionmystudentposes.
(on a random note, my first tuition session with my sec3 kid was also like that. just, mental block over what a 'rational number' was)
(which, fyi, is a number which has a defined value, or a value that can be expressed as a quotient - i.e. 0.5, 1/7, etc. irrational numbers are like sqrt2, sqrt7, etc)
(not bad ah can learn math by reading my blog)
ANYWAY. Yea we were stumped and the kid was like tapping his foot like ok, why are BOTH my tutors so dumb. damn sian. But then I suddenly reached enlightenment and I was like 'I KNOW!!!' and I felt the inner triumph that I solved it and weiqin couldn't (haha) and I started explaining to the kid.
Then I recall I wasn't very clear and I kept using the word 'right' (e.g. so right, you look at the base first. then right, you do this. then right... etc) and it began to annoy even myself. But yea that was about where the dream 'ended'. Or i stopped to remember things after this point.
---
So, Freudian proponents will interpret this as my unconscious repressed desire to surpass weiqin in intelligence and actually do something she can't? hahahahah. hilarious. I doubt I'll ever do so though she's too smart. Well, at least I know more digits of pi than her. I think.
