Christmas is coming. Finally the kawaii1 onion smile got an update after dormant for 2 months. Last few days is just before the Christmas break, tests springs like fungus... also I have to do stand up comedy in front of 1000 people, so I don't have chance to post and finish one of my GHOP task.
Hope everyone have a merry Christmas. I will be doing an amazing amount of SAT test prep during my break.

Taking about new year's resolutions...
looking back to my list I made back in summer. I have dropped some of those because I over estimated how much stuff I can do in certain amount of time... The new list will be:
My Top 10 resolutions:
1. Spend More Time with Family & Friends Create a database of math problems (Include all high school and above math problems, and lower level problems with significance will be featured in the database, like 1+1). People can leave comments, so there would be a strong problem solution community. Will be built with Drupal 6 and features an API for both input and output. Require the integration of LaTeX(DruTeX), Asymptote and Drupal 62.
2. Do my best in contests I'm participating(GHOP, Suffolk County Math Tournament, USAMTS, M³Challenge)
3. Use spare time to program a LF2 like game. (I have assembled a small team... start working at June 2008). My C++ skill is enough to do basics. Integrate other people's library into my program in C++ is 1000 times harder than in PHP. Ahhh, compile errors of those libraries forces me to abandon the SDL solution and chose directx solution until I can finally get my own computer (oh yeah... Linux will make my life a LOT easier...).
4. Do amazing on the SAT(I hate learning vocabularies), APs(I have 6 AP test this year ) and study for the GRE Mathematics Subject test if I fail at getting into USAMO and IOI.[Requires completion of 6]
5. Get accepted in a great college(MIT, Princeton) [Requires completion of 4]
6. Stay away from relationships [Requires math, coding, a blog and start playing warhammer]
7. On a average week, the arithmetic mean, mode and median of sleeping hours for each day should be 8±0.5. (currently, it's 8,6,6 respectively)[Requires completion of 4]
8. A(dozen) math problem a day
9. Working toward getting into USAMO then IMO after finish the SATs [Requires 4 and 8]
10. Working toward getting into IOI, and hopefully doing good on it [Requires completion of 4]

My parents puts no.4 as the most important task in my life. Really, I stop having discourse with my parents because no dialog can last longer than 5 clause without diffuse the theme to the SATs.(I can feel the osmotic pressure...)
"How is your stand up act?"
"Pretty nice, I guess people liked it, I could do better though, but there are..."
"Great, now you have done your 'important stuff', how about doing some SATs. You only got 58 for the critical reading part in your PSATs, and MIT's middle 25%-75% have a 660 for the SAT reading. You are so far away from our expectations and that's such a disgrace to our ancestors. You know how important SAT is right? then why don't you..."
"Ok, this is the (n+1)th time you are telling me the same thing, amazingly, it's has (n+1) different combination of words and sentence structures, how about I just record your sound and write a program that automatically use your voice read essays with the exact same idea and tecno mix them into songs so it can be played where ever I go. You can even upgrade it so it talk in Chinese."
I'm so glad my family never learned the discipline technique called "you are grounded". well actually, I won't care. I don't go to anywhere after I come back from school. Nothing can hurt me, nothing!
After May(which is after the SAT and APs), I can use all my time on all tasks :), Now, I can only do them in my spare time.
The Mgccl's time relation. in hours

1. 1. My friends said "cute" should never come out from a man's mouth, but using the Japanese version should be ok.
2. 2. It's extremely simple...if I have root account for a Linux server.
