    I know this is completely unrelated to your video, but I have to say you look genuinely happy with your life. Your energy is magnetic.
    I noticed that you didn’t put headphones in when you did your work, and it made me think about your phone usage habits. Could you tell me about your phone habits and do you listen to music (probably a silly question)?
    Side note, I found your channel because I am learning Moonlight Sonata and found that 2010 video😂 have subbed!

    Just a friendly tip: try to not have your back arched in or out and have the hips leveled with you shoulders when doing planks. This way you prevent some back issues and work more on the core. Also, since I'm from Brazil I feel the need to share a couple Brazilian pieces with you.... So, here you go:
    -Brejeiro, Odeon and most pieces from Ernesto de Nazareth
    -Sururu na cidade, and any piece from vila lobos.(rudepoema is quite something)
    I wanted to share those with you just hoping that you might enjoy them. And who knows if you end up recording some Brazilian piece in this channel, though not complaining on the anime pieces!

    • @MichaelNgPiano
      @MichaelNgPiano  Před 4 lety +1

      Hey! Thanks for the question! Q&A sounds like a great idea :)
      More about math in future videos (when I get time) - and about practice, I don't actually practise that much! In fact, all throughout I'd say I'd average an hour a day.
      These days I practise about every other day, sometimes even less frequently. So that helps with time management - also to be covered if I get to it. Hope that helps!

    3 years late, but the x^2 + 2 = y^3 problem is still on GRM problem sheets, I've just finished first year and been looking at the course over the summer and I was very excited to see something I knew how to do in your video lol. Plus it looks like you take loads of the courses I'm interested in for 3rd year, like quantum mechanics, number fields, machine learning, so it's good to have a role model haha, it looks like you had a really good time in your 3rd year :-)

      @malignusvonbottershnike563 Před 8 měsíci

      @@宻 from my experience, the hardest part of STEP was getting used to the style of questions, so even though STEP 1 isn’t its own paper anymore, you might enjoy working through the materials from the STEP support programme (it’s on the maths faculty website somewhere), and trying some STEP 1 questions, as that doesn’t include any further maths content so some of them will be doable for you. If you think it’s too early though, no pressure, you’ve got a lot of time and if you want to focus on 6th form stuff then that’s also a sensible decision. And of course, you might change your mind about wanting to apply for maths over the next few months (I remember flipping between engineering, computer science, physics, everything lol), so if you want to wait until you’re 100% set on a maths degree that also makes sense

I haven't a Rudy clue why lol, I have been like that my whole life, id love to be able to hold chopsticks myself I have a tremor that runs through my whole nervous system, I can nearly hold a spoonful in my hand let alone chopsticks, I love the Chinese or Japanese people there kids a so damn adorable and when there young they looks so attractive with beautiful smile and I love Shanghai noodles the best type of noodle you can ever get is the original, I love Chinese cuisine, im not sure about Japanese quisine I think its the same thing they have such beutifull smile just like them in this video.
