Today would be sort of a down and then an up day.

Went kc to coach and, I'm embarrassed. Made soooooo many mistakes and couldn't play the piano well. Most embarrassing thing is I called someone's name wrongly, and played a song in the wrong key.

Argh times like these I doubt if I was a good SL. In terms of technicality, piano playing, rhythm and learning notes. I can't sight read for nuts, and I'm bad at reading rhythm. Perhaps I demonstrate better than I teach.

Putting that aside, the ups of my day was meeting with the OA level potatoes excluding Amos. They went cycling and I met them for lunch after. We talked about many things under the sun, including potential partners and books. I told them I read to become someone that speaks after thought and sound intellectual! Haha. So, I told them about the book I'm currently hooked, Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

This book is actually a mixture of psychology and economics, and a church friend of mine used it as a material for his uni module. I'm like, YES, I LIKE IT, I'm going to SMU for sure. (ORLY)

To summarize, the whole book is about proving how humans often rely on intuition to make claims and it can be wrong at times, but goes to explain why we rely on intuition. I guess it is a book that zooms in to how the mind works, in layman terms.

I agree that this is a very very cheeem book, but definetely worthy of your time. Even though I understood only half, but I learnt bits and pieces there. Yay. Shall give you an example.

Kahneman wants to examine how we are fooled by our system 1, that is, automatic system, which is also our intuition, by this question.

How many pairs of animals did Moses take into the ark?



None. It was Noah who did it.

Lo and behold. If you got it wrong, just know that most people did. I did too. The book uses many psychological experiments to demonstrate this conflict that you have just faced.

Okay I have to admit this is only the tip of the iceberg, and I have not explained well. Most probably this is a little to cheem and "up-there" for me, but at least I learnt something and after 2 long months, I'm halfway there! Hiphiphurray.


Dinner time, looks at directory
