Randomness helps cheer the sad

Today's biology lecture was full of randomness and laughter and that person who made us laugh was none other that Mr Benjamin Choo!

Recalling~

*Everyones busy writing down answers for the essay question and Mr Choo impatiently scrolls down to continue on*
Everyone : "Hey wait! Haven't copy finish yet!"
Mr Choo : "*with sarcastic tone* Say please, I have not copied finish yet."
Everyone : "Wtf?"

*Everyone's taking their own sweet time to copy down*

Mr Choo : "Maybe i'll take a seat while u all copy." (Because he was standing all the while)

There's still more to that but I forgot alr -.-


Today's GP lesson......

*Miss Hua lecturing on what question NOT to choose for paper 1...*

Miss Hua : "U all should not choose question 8, it's a philosophical question that even the J2s have problems tackling it."

On towards choosing our assignment because everyone gets to vote....

Miss Hua : *sarcastic tone*"Now who wants to have question 8 as your assignment?"
Wei Guang : "ME!"
Miss Hua : "Ok i'll take that as a no."
*Class erupts in laughter*

Laughter keeps a doctor away. Not an apple. =P

That's how it works; u can't change it

Was thrown a whole pile of work at me.

Sian sia. Later still got to finish bio essay and maths tutorial + EoM first draft is due this week.

So much more things to do!

No more time for dota although I just had a game just now. =X

Good news though, I passed maths! Woohoo! It was pretty unexpected lah, but still an E grade so must do better...... And I passed GP by that single stroke of luck that my paper 1 (essay) did fairly well.

Note : I'm not a willing mugger, rather, a forced mugger. I rather play dota then mug.

Yawns going to complete maths tutorial now good bye!

Wake up you fool!

First official day back at school for lessons, and my classmates and I knew we were in deep shit. The results of the MYE are back.

Today we got back Chemistry and Biology, didn't fare too well for the both of them, and I'm pretty disappointed in myself for doing rather badly(in my perspective). Getting a sub-pass for Biology is ABSOLUTELY not the choice. Sorry Mr Tan for the disappointment too.

Ironically, I got a sub-pass for Chemistry, which I thought I should have failed; was rather happy about it. But I'm gonna do better for the promos!

Lesser dota, more books.

And lastly,

Congrats to Zhenyan for topping the class for Chemistry! =D
I still remember how u used to wail at every test u got back, "Wah lao, why everytime nver pass one!!!" Haha finally u did it, was happy for u. =)

Summary on the recent MYEs (GP Style)

MYE (Mid year exams) should have been written as :

"Y ME?????!!!!"

Right that was so lame.

H2 Chemistry
Right, I have to agree with Pamela that the MCQ was bloody tough. Hope my Section B that I answered every question can salvage the fact that I didn't finish my MCQ.

H2 Maths
I expected trigonometry to have came out for our paper, but lucky it didn't cos it always prevents me from continuing on the paper. Lucky lots of Graphing Techniques questions came out. The AP/GP question number 8 was mad, I didn't even bother trying to do it.

H2 Biology
One paper I almost conceded defeat to when going on to the essay questions. THE LAST QUESTION OMGWTFBBQ I didn't know what to write so I just blabbered through the last question, recalling what I knew.

H1 China Studies In English
I'm starting to feel a bit insecure taking this subject. But nevertheless this is a fun subject. Mr Yeo rocks!

Overall, it was okay. Scared fail only haha.

H2 Chem MYE

We were all perspiring during that paper. Hell on earth was that 2 1/2 hr.

After the paper, many were cursing due to the fact that they were unable to complete the mcq. Same goes for me~.~

Hope other papers will go well for our class =)

Slacker. I am one.

Gonna fail my maths exam cos I don't even understand what the heck is summation about.

Tired. Sick of maths. Wished Mr John Lim was my maths teacher.

Maybe I can't change that.

Tired, but still love Biology haha

Man what to say. Haven't been blogging for the past 2 weeks, and I suppose my friends are pretty upset of seeing the same thing all over and over again.

Today went for consultation with Mrs Lim, that took 15mins. And wasted my bus fare there. I thought I had a lot of questions to ask but then it was the other way round.

Since I have nothing much to revisit, I shall state my goals here =D

1.Take H3 Biology (mwahahah)

I simply love biology. Wahaha.

Right thats all, gtg airport; sis flying to London.

Spiderman 3!!! Not forgetting the ones who helped me.

Today I went to school early for my photography meeting; seniors were stepping down.

Ha, what to say. I'm just grateful towards them for mentoring me. Especially Kingston, Chee Howe and Eunice. During the first 2 months, you guys just rock! And not forgetting our 太师, Jun Sen for teaching the Orientation photographers basic Adobe Photoshop skills.

Something I want to say to my seniors:

Kingston : Thanks for mentoring me all these while, being exceptionally patient with me during Soiree, and Orientation 2. Although I don't get to learn everything from you, it's just great having an egoistic and caring photog chairman.
Chee Howe : Thanks for spotting my mistakes and correcting me always, I may not have been up to your expectations, but I'm still grateful for all the things you have taught me.
Eunice : Stop laughing at my 1/8000 shutter speed la!!! Hahaha! Just joking la, I think you were the one mentoring me the most during Orientation 2. And I'm grateful for that! Thanks!
Prescilla : Quarter master who has left a deep impression in me, teaching me how to clean the lenses and the camera! Thanks!

Right, back to the Spiderman movie. I was wondering, why a superhero/villain is mostly created by nuclear facilities, is America trying to label themselves as a powerful nuclear power? I'm not too sure about that.
Hulk - Created accidently by a gamma bomb explosion
Spiderman - Created when a nuclear-affected spider bit Peter Parker
Sandman - Created when he accidentally fell into a particle accelerator of silicon dioxide(sand)

I found that I wasn't scared by the fearsome face of the evil venom, because I read the comic b4. The girls behind me was like screaming for everytime venom appears to attack spiderman. Weird....................... And I realised that Peiyi was simply not afraid lo, even horror movies also not scared, unlike me. Really have to learn from her lo. Lol..

La Rizonanza and the stupid soccer match.

Posting for yesterday cos I came back late...

Yesterday was a great day for me wahahahah!

I got a B for the bio test which I have worked so hard for it =) Promised Mr Tan to do even better for the mid years.

Soccer match after common lunch, MJC soccer players were off-form sia, wonder how could they miss that shot despite the goalkeeper being combed on the goalpost. Sad sia, lost 1-0.

La Rizonanza was great lo. Starting was a bit boring, but the last part, which was the musical, was a great performance. I have to credit the Anglican High School Choir and the Tanjong Katong Secondary School Choir for the marvelous performance as guest choirs. But nevertheless, MJC choir rocks!!! And Peiyi was dressed up like a doll, pretty nice for a gal too.
I'm going for the fifth La Rizonanza next year =D

Exco election results

YAY!!! I didn't get in!!! Lol. Actually I was feeling a bit sore just now, but its okay now alr.

Maybe weighing the aspects of being an exco member, perhaps I don't have any qualities to lead anyone JUST YET.

But to my surprise today.
Mr Cheng asked me : "Have you stop choking on your homework???"
Me : "!!!!!!!!!!! Wah how u noe my blog!!!"
Eunice : "Cos he noe my blog what..... I linked u remb........."

It was really a surprise lo, seems like Mr Cheng is spying on me heheh. If Mr Cheng is reading this, I'll say a warm HI!!!! to you. Hahah.

Talking about being a photog member, it actually seemed to me that I had to be in exco or smth. But not now, fortunately. I can seriously throw away that thought of being one and going back to serious MUGGING.

And the present exco was female-dominated. Not like I'm a sexist or what. I'm feeling a bit random today.

~Good luck to the J2s for their A's and thanks for mentoring me all these while!

Flu.

Currently down with a flu. So I'm worried it might make me lose a bit of confidence in tml's exco election rally.

Today's bio test was so-so. I managed to finish it. But they didn't seem to ask much about respiration and photosynthesis, the reactions on it. A lot of application questions =.=, not forgetting the application question on insulin; last question.

Today was hell. I virtually slacked through the whole day. Because I had flu, and not forgetting a bout of fever during Chemistry time. That really pissed me off because I couldn't catch the points Mrs Lim was mentioning about reaction kinetics chapter.

Right got to take my medicine now, and I must study for tml's bio mock SPA, then sleep.

Buhbye.

Monday, May 14, 2007

Bad luck.

I'm just having bad luck luck luck luck. And I'm sick of it. Maybe I should reflect on these things:

1) forgetting to sort my photos out. Disappointed Eunice.
2) Failing my every test that comes to me ( exception for bio )
3) Getting sick recently, because of lost sleep.
4) Having so much to study in such a short period of time.

4 might seem little but its rather a lot to me alr.

Things I'm gonna do to change this:

1) Meticulous in my work, CCA and mugging
2) Revise early , stop playing dota.
3) Getting more sleep during the weekends.
4) REMB TO SORT PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~

Sorry to Eunice :(

Yaaaa I did something wrong again. Made Eunice mad. Yeah paiseh cos I thought I sorted the photos last week before I started burning the photos. ~_~

Sorry Eunice :) Don't angry ah. This won't happen again.

MJC vs RJC soccer boys

Today's soccer match was great. That adrenaline rush that u get when our own college scored was simply GREAT!

MJC did great today although the two JCs drew with each other 1-1. RJC was considered quite lucky because they scored 2 mins b4 the match ended.

The MJC spirit rocks! Gambateh to the soccer boys!

Crazy Frog

Woot. I realised there's a hidden Crazy Frog in my class!!! Its n0ne 0ther than Charles!!! l0l.

Today's P.E lesson was mad. I wonder how I got the stamina to run 5 rounds at max speed without even stopping or feeling tired at the end. Ok la, maybe a bit breathless la.

Then we had our "arms training". So we had to use the stretch thingy to train our arms. Charles was as usual, doing things very seriously and so I started to be a bit lame.

Charles : (saying nothing)
Me : Ok lets see. U can use the stretch thingy to train your legs too! (Shows how it is done)
*PIAK*
Charles : HAHAHAHAHAHHA.

Ok he went mad practically. Others were complaining whether would I have Fathers Day or what. No la just hit my upper thigh nia.










What were u thinking?

LOL.

I heard there are some secrets muggers in the school. Falalala. I'm gonna be one!!!

It was actually quite late when we went into the cafe cartel restaurant. 8.30pm, cos we were waiting for Li Ting. Cannot blame her, she had her training until so late.

Thomas was wearing his jacket again, despite the heat in the MRT station. LOL. Ok then Peiyi and Desmond had dinner alr so they ate ice cream. And that Peiyi haolian sia, say she eat ice cream so fast. Lol true la. Heheh.

Everything's just not going the way I expected it to be.

Today I went back to my old school, met some of my beloved secondary sch teachers. I met Miss Lena Lim at the bus stop outside my school, she asked me whether was I coping with my work well. I told her no, and she didn't seem surprised lol (Yeah, my intelligence cannot be compared with the physics queen. ~_~). Didn't manage to see my favourite teacher Mrs Ang, Chemistry teacher. But I met Mrs Lim Siew Luan my sec sch biology teacher!!! Yeah back in those days where u top until u sien of topping, now at jc, being crushed virtually is as easy as 1 2 3.

Today received my chemistry test. 8 1/2 upon 25. Seriously I expected above 12. But blame it on my pajiao-ness. I failed to differentiate (VI) with (IV). Yes. Laugh. I thought both were the same. Hell I must pay more attention while reading the questions.

Mistake 1 - Manganate (VI) and Manganate (IV) didn't see that both were actually different.
Mistake 2 - Complacency. I should have worked long before this test. Maybe this will teach me a lesson to study earlier.

Yes, I should really WORK/MUG.

Today's soccer match cancelled so didn't manage to take the photos. Did my maths tutorial and assignment in photog room with Minru and Kenneth. Hey Minru, thanks for teaching me arh. Haha.

Right~ Got to go to bed. Cya~

On Inquisitiveness and choices made... was it correct or was it all wrong?

Is it ok to be over-inquisitive or what.

I dunno leh.

Have I made the right choice in coming into a JC? Or did my teachers lie to me? Or am I suited to a polytechnic lifestyle? I really dunno leh. I suddenly feel very depressed la.

I remember what Miss Gan told me today, "Don't let anything snowball, that includes your cca and your homework.". I really dunno larh. I really hope I can stop this slacky-ness and start mugging hard. But they say , "action speaks louder than words.".

Gah. I can't write on. Simply too tired and I've got to finish my work alr.

Chem SPA + maths test... -.- And the freaking ex bio textbook.

Lol today we had SPA mock test. It was pretty easy to do, except the fact that I hated that examiner who kept looking at my conical flask while I'm doing titration. Wah lao. My phenothallin ( wonder how u spell it) indicator was wicked. It had to sabotage me when I was titrating the two solutions. Turned pink, turned colourless, turned pink again, then colourless, then turn dark pink.

@#$%^&*() wtf. It had to happen when the examiner was looking at me. The end point was supposed to be PALE PINK damn it. What the hell. But the questions were easy larh. Easy to do, but last question didn't manage to finish it. 1 mark question -.-.

Then went on to maths test. WAH THAT killed me man. 2 questions I virtually didn't do larh. Stupid parametric equations. How the hell to do sia, I'm so weak at parametric equations lor. Time didn't permit me to do the function question that I knew how to do. Sway sia.

On to PW lesson. Zhenyan was laughing all the way during PW lor. So long never see the way she laugh liao. Cos it's unique kae? Lol I'm not trying to make a point here or what, just that her laughter is really ZAI lah. Pamela could be the next Priscilla from PAE lor. Everytime make Zhenyan laugh. Wah siao. And Zhenyan pro also, PI got HIGH M.E WTF? LOL. Pamela was cursing away that Zhenyan's PI touched on a sensitive issue and kept grumbling and grumbling that Miss Lee was sick in the mind or what. LOL la. And we laughed on the fact that there were many "Gd!", "Very Gd!" , and "Yes!" in Zhenyan's PI. Okay la then Pamela wanted me to take the pictures for her PI to put on her blog. Dowan put them here cos I lazy =D.

Today couldn't hand up Chem assignment cos I forgot all about it.

PE was fun, except that it was really tiring. Circuit training rox!!! Omg man its like ages that I haven't had circuit training?

OMG and I'm so jealous that Minru got her Bio textbook alr!!!! Wah I'm so jealous!!! Lol. Ex sia. Wonder how to tell my mum that I want to buy a textbook that costs 69 dollars -.-.

Right. Macdonald's for dinner! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Then on to Chemistry assignment and the stuffs that I need to do!!! W00t!

Friday, April 20, 2007

The day we all got squashed by a similar bio paper

Wahahah today was anything but bad.

Whole day was fun, in fact. Har, how to start lol.

First period- PW- submitting of 2nd draft of PI, I didn't change much of my PI expect for the things that Miss Lee wanted me to change. Forgot to staple first draft onto my second draft -.- how forgetful again. Lol.

2nd - Lunch lecture. This lecture was actually made up by our most famous "chubby chubby" Wei Guang. I still remember how this term came about.

WG: Cher we need to rush to another lecture!
Mrs Lim [concerned]: huh?! what lecture?
WG: lunch lecture

Lol this was lifted off directly from Pamela's blog, credits to her.

Lame. I suddenly became the joke of the class together cuz I kept asking why why why. And you know, Glendon suddenly got pissed and called me to shut up lol. WAHAHA glendon, not on purpose la, you know, I'm rather inquisitive ;D.

3rd - Biology lecture. Not another summary map we have to finish, but actually quite easy la, just a diagram to summarise nia. Learnt Calvin's cycle and Kreb's cycle today.

4th- Maths lecture! Lol the lecturer was pissed today. She got pissed with 3 boys in front of where our class was sitting because they were talking non-stop.

Boys: Chatter chatter.....
Lecturer : You 3 boys better stop talking if not you all see me after lecture.
Boys (ignores) : Chatter chatter...
Lecturer : I told you boys to stop talking. See me after the lecture.

Wow, how tolerant is she man LOL.

5th - Chinese!!! Miss Gan lor. Another lesson that I can shrug past. I simply hate Chinese.

6th- On to the joker Mrs Lim!!! Chemistryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! I can't imagine she was 15minutes late. Imagine the amount of time??? We could do like 2 questions on the tutorial??!! Haha joking larh, Mrs Lim so nice, how can say that of her? We did our atomic structure notes and Thomas was rather inquisitive.

Mrs Lim : There you see, its in the inner shell so need more energy blah blah blah
Thomas : Cher can write quantum shell?
Mrs Lim : Also can, but here write inner shell also can.
Thomas : Cher, then can write inner quantum shell?
Mrs Lim + class : ...............

Thomas definitely must be Thomas la. The usual guai kia + intelligent person.

THEN!!!

THE MOMENT OF .......?

Biology Olympiad selection test lor.

Killed all of us.

First few questions were like the normal O level paper MCQ questions............. until the last 10 questions I sighed. "Die lah. Tikam lor."

I was practically a survival quiz la. See who die first. Lol.

Oh ya I must write this down. Today, after class me, peiyi and vivien went for lunch so we had Apple Crumble! <3 Oh its so tasty lol. Then we had waffles+icecream, vivien didn't want any so I shared it with Peiyi. After that, Minru appeared in the canteen after finishing her lessons and she practically laughed while walking towards us. And you know what? She had a bloody ZAI video of our bio teacher Mr Owen Tan doing the non-cyclic photophosphorylation dance HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OMG.

Now I have that video in my phone I can remember the concepts better ;D. LOL.

Right, better stop blogging. Tml still got to go to RJC for photo exhibition. buhbye.

Throw the Homework like the way javelineers throw javelins!

How I wished I could throw my homework out of the window.

Its too much. Oh my gosh and its piling up.

Lol, maybe I should stop dota-ing for a while so that I can start mugging, and mugging HARD. I seriously miss the times back at secondary school where my chemistry teacher would allow me to sleep in her class.

Today was like hell larh.

During maths lecture, my eyes were like dropping already, almost going to sleep already. Luckily that lecture was easy to understand so I paid "almost full attention".

On to CSE lecture, I didn't sleep nor did my eyes drop because I personally liked the subject very much.

On to Biology lecture after recess, was easy to grasp the "story" Mr Yeow mentioned about the non-cyclic phosphorylation about the so-called "idiot-proof" P680 and P700 photo.... uh I forget liao hahahah, but I remembered the procedure, so won't die so fast la.

Hell on earth was in the maths tutorial. I forgot to finish the Graphing Techniques tutorial. Not surprising I got a dressing down by Miss Lee but then she told me to manage my time well also.

Chemistry Lecture was fun, and the concept of reaction kinetics was pretty much easy to understand.

Chemistry test onwards during Chemistry tutorial. Die larh, question 2 didn't understand what it was trying to get at. But I thought i should fare so much better compared to the first test I did during first 3 months.

Biology tutorial after lunch, Owen Tan gave me a summary map to do. Oh well, he said already, "summary map good for understanding and memorising." So just bloody do lor.

GP lesson, last lesson of the day, was fun because we had groupings and we did the evaluation of the question in Paper 1.

Righto, thats all I got to mug again already.

Shuckkkkkkkks.

Tribute To Mr John Lim

Oh well, since I haven't had anything to write , so I'll just recall about my Secondary 4 E maths teacher, Mr John Lim.

He was the HOD of the Mathematics Department of my secondary school, Pasir Ris Crest Secondary School; he was one of a kind.

His enthusiasm in class is always at its highest, even though some in our class are less attentive and less interested in mathematics. There of course, I was rather attentive in his class and I was rather hardworking (rather, not) . Yeah so then even though at the point of time where most of my classmates didn't understand mathematics ( We were considered the lousiest class back then, basically because we took Design and Technology ), he was really patient, even treated our classmates expensive food( KFC, macs, yeah those kind ).

He was also very humble, liked to keep a low profile (which was one the the reason he quitted teaching after teaching us), although he was rich, it didn't matter to him because as I said, he like to keep a low profile.

The problem with him, is that he is JUST TOO NICE, TOO PATIENT. I felt very angry for him because some of our classmates took advantage of him; one of my classmates (I shall not say who, figure it out for yourself.), Mr John Lim promised a KFC treat after a remedial lesson on saturday, and you know what? That classmate of mine purposely came late, to skip class and to get a treat from him. Yeah that sucked. I felt so mad, I'm sure some of our classmates agree with me, that that guy's a sucker. Mr Lim didn't say anything and still said," ya go have your KFC ok? and remember to do the work that I gave you.". I was like wah, why so nice, let people take advantage of you.

It was definitely a tough time for me during sec 4 term 1, because my basics of maths was like shit. He then told me in private that he was rather disappointed in the term 1 results, as there was no A for our class( I got a b4 btw -.-). Then he asked me, "Ronald, do you want an A?" My answer was definitely a "yes". He wasn't surprised, because he knew I was hardworking. He said, " Ok, i'll give your class past year papers and other school papers to do, to improve on your class maths larh. ". At that point in time I was in his car cos he offered to give me a lift, but I rejected. After my prelims, I was pretty sure he had made a HUGE impact in my life because I got an A2, and I knew that without his guidance and patience, I would never ever have succeeded in the O's.

As he promised, he brought a lot of past year papers and other school papers. So that was the turning point. I started doing every single one of them, not even missing out one. I requested for more after finishing the papers, and any questions I would look for him after school to have him to explain everything to me. The process was tough, but I managed. I went for extra classes that he gave, night studies, and weekend studies in my school. He encouraged me along the way, cracking cold jokes and telling us about his past of how he worked. I was inspired by him even more that being a teacher was the right job for me when I finished my university. I still miss the curry puffs he treated those who came for weekend studies, those were the BEST!!! Not forgetting Mr Lim himself too.

I remember he was the "rival enemy" of our physics teacher, Miss Lena Lim. Hahaha, those two teachers were the jokers la. Our classmates called them "决对情侣" meaning the perfect couple cos they were always bickering. Not to mention they were friends too lah hahaha. I REALLY miss those days la. Mugging in my college is so tough now.

It was went he came that I totally changed my perception of maths. I liked maths, but I loved it when he came to teach, because he would always make maths lessons fun.

When I told him that I got an A1 for maths over the phone, he was overjoyed and told me that I deserved that A1. I thanked him several times back then.

I want to thank him for helping, encouraging me all the way during the judgement period of the O's. If I had a chance in the future, I would definitely follow his model in teaching.

Thank you so much, Mr John Lim.

Worried. Pessimistic

Great. I'm feeling really pessimistic now. I had to complete my functions tutorial by monday, and I had to show to Miss Lee. First 3 questions i could do them all, but 4th question- STUCK. What the hell, I wish I could stop procrastinating about my disadvantage because i don't have an additional maths background.

Hell on earth for this few days on the functions lecture and tutorials. This is killing me.

And I was wondering also that, how could I cope with the A levels if I could not cope with such minor stuff. Yeah minor stuff. From what I can see in my friends, this is MINOR stuff. They did it like they did it a thousand times; all seemed so easy to them while I'm the only one in my class staring at the blackboard during tutorial lesson blank, probably can't understand much from it.

I was glad that Miss Lee could afford her time to give me consultation, and I really was appreciative on it. Yeah, since I couldn't explain what is a FUNCTION. She patiently taught me and made sure I understood everything b4 I went back to finish my tutorial.

Yeah I think she's a great teacher, second to Mr John Lim from my old secondary school.

I just wished I have the determination to continue on and face the promos + A levels. To be a bit more daring, I just aimed to take H3 Chemistry. Hahaha xD

Shucks.

Yeah i'm back to blogging once again; decided to make a new blog anyway.

Today's the Friday the 13th. Not really auspicious to create a blog on this day. Hahah =x

Today's Biology test was tough. Despite the fact I studied for it.

I had extra lessons today, Chemistry by Mrs Lim lol. I got a B for my assignment wahaha. First time xD

I had a CIP program briefing today which had got to do with the SCAS. Yeah those people there taught us how to handle people and children with celebral palsy so it was quite a eye-opener to me. =) . Poor Chee Howe didn't get to go for the briefing with us haha. He had H3 Physics lesson to attend.

I really envy people who are intelligent and quick to think on their feet. Wished i had that virtue.

eheheh.
