It's Friday! finally can take a short break...
Survived the many tests this week. Oh well, GP compre is --- sigh --- got to learn to paraphrase correctly and quickly - a lesson i learn from the test. Chem SPA is alright, but missed a short point but well, that's alright =] Math test (Functions and Differentiation), well, dunno how i'll fare. Better not have any hopes, whatever will be will be. Supposed to have Chi Lit test but as the teacher needs to teach 茶馆 fast as there isn't much time left, it is postponed to anytime before Wed next week and we'll decide ourselves when to do with time given 1 hour.
Got back GP reasoning test which tests us on common sense / logic thinking and i scored 46.5/50! At least it helps to pull up my marks for GP. Looonnnggg time never get above 90% for a test or exam already! By the way, I think my GP teacher Mrs Saleem is really one of the best and most understanding teacher I've ever met. She truly understand the difficult lives we're facing as JC students as the schedule is real hectic and at times make you unable to have time to even breathe properly. Everyone is mugging hard for tests and the coming promos. As the Subject Head for GP, I can see that she trys to reduce the number of tests for GP. So far, we have only 2 compo tests, 1 compre test and the reasoning test. And I think the workload for GP is just right. Unlike other subject such as Bio, giving many tutorial questions but only gives us a relatively short time only and expecting us to complete them. We have tutorials for other subjects too and they seem not to bother about our workload at all... Mrs Saleem is really empathetic =] Once we did not do our summary, she asked who didn't do and out of her surprise, many of us raised our hands. She always thought that we are good students and she told us that our class is the best class out of the 3 classes that she teach. She said, ''Okay, it's alright. We are all humans. But don't let this happen too often.'' She is the only teacher who understand that we are humans and that we are never really always perfect in accomplising all tasks I've ever met in my more than 10 years of education, unlike others who will just scold and nag ... Felt so fortunate to be in her class =]
Will DEFINITELY complete my 2 Chinese Compo this weekend! (to ensure I'll do by writing definitely .. lolx) You know what? I've owed them for almost 1 month since the assignment was given on, what, 30/7/2007! oh well ...
Did horribly terrible for my CA. It's just horrendous! Even I myself have no face to look at the terrible results of the test papers! =( Must buck up for the Promos! a must! hope my wish come true! Desperately need people to coach me! hmmm..... =/
It's Teachers' Day celebration next Fri. The Student Council organised it and we will be having a so-called picnic with our CTs on the field while watching performance. All our food are almost all purple - ribena, blueberry cake etc - as both our CTs like purple. haha......
Went to NTU for an interactive conversation by Mr Ng How Wee (nyjc teacher, UFM 100.3 DJ and also is an author) and Royston Tan (the director of the movie 881). Royston shared with us who are the LEP students and the NTU students about the purposes of certain ways to showcase the movie. For example, Qi Yu Wu always wear singlets as the singlets once belonged to his Dad, whom he had not always been close till his Dad passed away, it is to show that Qi Yu Wu still wants to have some way of connection with his Dad, and also this will show that Qi Yu Wu is a simple guy. Although he has never spoken in the entire move, it is not because he is deaf or mute which many people had thought so, there are other reasons. It can be known that he is neither deaf nor mute when he drives. One funny thing is when one person aske, ''Why is the chicken white?'' It is in fact because there is only white chicken available then! and that the chicken has now retired already! LOLz.... It's an interesting conversation. And I felt compelled to watch 881 after knowing his different ways to bring out his story. hahaha....
Watched 换换爱 ep 12 and Naruto Shippuden ep 26. Looking forward to next episode! No time to watch my Harry Potter and I've only read till page 286, The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. Slow eh... cos I only read 3 chapters every week in the night. Seriously no time....
Anyway, I'm proud to say that I am from Jurong Secondary School! hahax... PM Lee praised JSS for its outstanding performance in its teaching methods - Teach Less Learn More (TLLM). Great job, JSS (Ms Tham the principal, and the teachers and juniors)! [Miss secondary school time ... (:]
Okay, I shall stop here. It's a looonnnggg entry.
Byeeee.... xp

intensive tests
Stressed up.
Tests and spa for ALL the subjects I'm studying. GP test, Math lecture test and Chem SPA on this Tues. Bio test on Wed and Chi Lit test on Fri. Crazy~ Indeed, Wk 8 and 9 of Term 3 in JC 1 are one of the most stressful periods as time-management and memorization play their very important roles. humph.... It's less than 38 days to Promos. Stress is building up... Promos results will determine whether you can be promoted to J2 or not as the weightage is 60%. It is the determining factor of your promotional status.
JC life poses challenges every day almost without fail. In order to survive, one will need to have a be strong both mentally and physically. Mentally strong cos you have to bear with the very hectic and stressful life, or you'll break down eventually. Physicallystrong cos you'll need to have the energy to sit for at least 3 hours for an exam paper, and perhaps have to stay till quite late in college and may have to attend many consecutive hours of lessons every day. It can be tiring.
Bad news for me for my Promos time-table. First day of promo: Final submssion of Eom. GP P1 and GP P2 exams, followed by CLL P2 exam which ends only at 5pm! Next day is Math. The day after next is Chem P2/3. Where the h*** do i find time to practise Math? And CLL P2 is a Lit component, it'll difinitely be tiring after the paper as my hands have to write continuously and brain has to keep on thinking what to write, or one will not be able to finish. Then how am I supposed to survive for Math the next day? aaarrrgggghhhh..... esp when i live that far. Sigh, that's life and that's fate. Need to pracitice my math every day... Hope I can still be able to clear the promos. Hope my wish come true :)
Anyway, Chi Lit teachers will be teaching 茶馆 next week. haiz... what i hope not to happen is gonna happen next week. meaning more to memorise for promo... =/
Watched 换换爱 ep 11. nice and sweet. hahax. =] And also Naruto Shippuden ep 25. Sakura is cool! Looking forward to the next episode.
Alright, no time to waste though i think that i'll still find time to slack a bit. lol

National Day eve '07
Was damn zonked out this morning when i woke up from my bed and off the alarm of my phone. DAMN TIRED. I could tell my body really need more sleep. i'm that tired was due to the past 2 days' night study in college. Reached home at 12.10am on Mon and 10.50pm on Tues. Hence insufficient sleep. And I couldn't walk steadily, i walked like a drunkard, walking diagonally left and right. =_="
Need to stand longer than usual in sedia position as there's National Day celeration's procedures to follow where the commander and the flag-bearers had to do many things before the 1st part of the national day celebrations ended. The 2nd part was a concert in the hall. The superstars finalists Nat and Javin (shd be like that spell) sang 末日之恋 together and then Nat sang 爱爱爱 solo. cool! After the concert ended, went to LT 3 for the farewell of the J2 LEP. After that, my cca CCS brought the Indonesian students to Bugis to introduce them the culture of Singapore. Well, since we are chinese CULTURAL society.
Because of my packed schedule, I couldn't meet my bio tutor to go though my Bio mock SPA. Haiz, need to go back to college on Sat 9am then. =/
After bidding goodbyes to the Indonesian students, I went to Bugis street wanting to buy a bag. Then thought of going to the Nike warehouse sale in Kovan, so decided to go to the warehouse sale before deciding whether or not to buy the bag. Unfortunately, none suits my preferance. In the end, I bought a top before I went home. I can't go there which is really far away and go home empty-handed right? lolz.. so i told myself that i must buy something or it's a waste of time and efforts.
No materials to evaluate for EoM! really pathetic! by hook or by crook, i must produce an EoM before Sunday as Mon is the deadline. Anyway, it's only Version 1. Still, gonna put in my best.
Lots of tests and SPAs in the next 2 weeks before the end of Term 3. sigh¬ That's jc life. Dunno how we'll pull through the tough period but somehow we'll be able to pull through them. Just have to do it and they will be over soon. =/

let's recall what's happened
It's 50 days left to Promos! so the time span from mid-year to promos is only 3 months. won't blog too often anymore (hopefully). cos i'm not smart enough to achieve what i desire and what is expected of us from college. work smart is what i have to do. fast and consistent, that's what the teachers in secondary school told us while preparing for 'O' level. now, after one year, i've to do what i did last year, in preparation for promos which accounts for 60% of overall grades. it does make a HUGE difference. i daresay that what's been taught now and the amount of content to be tested are already more that that required for 'O' level. and the demands are much greater.
GP will test on an argumentative essay, and compre whereby all questions require paraphrasing, or 0 mark is awarded. =\ paraphrase ... ... ...
Math: Functions, graphing techniques, AP/GP, MI, Summation, Inequalities, Differentiation, Maclaurin's series and Vectors
Biology: cell structure, enzymes, nuclear division (mitosis, meiosis), DNA replication, transcription, translation, variation, respiration and photosynthesis
Chem: Stoichiometry, atomic structure, chemical bonding, gaseous state, energetics, kinetics, chemical equilibria, electrochemistry and alkanes
CLL: At least 5 唐诗, 5 宋词, 2 新诗 and 2 小说 for literature component. a very high possibility that teacher will teach one more 新诗 （再别康桥）or 小说（最宝贵的） or both after teaching the second 新诗 （海魂), hope don't teach 茶馆 yet though it is included in the content page that e teacher sent thru litespeed...... And 寓言三则, 陋室铭, 五柳先生传, 岳阳楼记 and an essay for language component. (btw, i'm starting to like 岳阳楼记! though i may have a hard time memorising cos it's quite long. =/)
Wish me luck!
Took a taxi to college on Fri with huey jia, susi and liying. 4 of us live in the west side so we thought of taking a taxi on Fri together since it is the last day of the week and we would be tired having to wake up early in the morning. so we met 6.45am at Chinese Garden MRT station. Guess what, we'd been flagging for a taxi from 6.45am to 7.25am before we finally could get a taxi and travel to college. Most taxis were hired. So that's why. And it totally defeats the purpose of us deciding to take a taxi to college as we were late, when we reached at 7.50am. It cost us $19.40 some more. =.= That will be my first and last time taking a taxi to college. I can't be late anymore as I've been late for twice. or my parents will be called. haix... I was late twice is because that was Mondays and college starts at 8.45am, so I could sleep longer. The thing is the bus always reached the college only at 8.50am, that therefore made me late, twice. >.<
Didn't clear my DNA and Genomics test. that's pretty sad. CA is pulling my overall grades down! why huh? why is it that I could pass my mid-year but not my tests? gonna do my best not to let this phenomenon carry on! have to do well in all... yea...
Night study with Au Yeong and Huey Jia on Fri night in college. that's my first time doing night study in college. did night study in secondary school and it was quite productive then, so decided to try night study in college and see how it is. well, it is quite productive too as you're able to focus and without distractions. As usual, crapped and gossiped with them, and I found out more rumours, gossips and unexpected news from them. lolx...
Just perhaps the day which i decide to do night study clashed with the Film Fest, making the night a noisy one for me. Au Yeong and Huey Jia 'abandoned' me as they suddenly decided to want to go watch the Film Fest. lolz... jkjk... told them that I dun mind.. yanli msg me to go for dinner at JP but I've planned to have the night study, so yea, can't go for the dinner... Left college around 8.10pm and it took a shorter time (50 min) to reach home at night than in the afternoon (average of 70 - 75 min).
Have been enjoying PE since Term 3 as we are not training gor NAPFA but learning to play rugby and tennis. Rugby is FUN! though is makes us muddy. I wonder if rugby players are supposed to collect mud in the field. Contact rugby is indeed rough, but it's still fun! I think I nearly break my left arm while trying to slow down an opponent by grabbing his waist and tried to make him fall down to the ground. At the moment when I ran to grab the opponent's waist, one person from the same team also ran towards the opponent to make him fall down to the field, supposed to aid me in making the person fall down. He (my team mate) rushed towards the opponent and banged to my left arm, making my joints in my arm to forcefully bend in the opposite manner. and my left arm felt a sharp pain. My joint hurts and I felt numb for a few minutes before it's better. In that few minutes, I imagined if I'll become paralysed in my left arm, if my nerves are still working and what will happen to me if my left arm couldn't work forever anymore. =.=''' Rugby is, after all, a rough and violent sport. Some people say that sport acts as a medium for people to exhibit their aggresiveness in a legalised manner, and I find it quite true for some sports. For tennis, I learnt the correct way to hit the tennis ball, that is to brush the ball to the opposite court instead of hitting the ball directly, though I never able to brush the ball correctly every time. also learnt how to hold the racket. PE lessons have been fruitful in learning new sports. the PE teachers are nice too. =]
Haven't got the time to watch 换换爱 ep 9 and the latest naruto shippuden yet. Maybe watching them early in the morning tmr. and spend the afternoon to clear my CLL homework and do some revision. CLL is making me crazy once again. 2 language essays and 1 lit essay left undone. Dun think that i'll clear all the 3 essays but will try to write some words so that less will need to be done in the future. lol... And have to do Variation tutorial... haish....
Math lecture test (Functions and Differentiation) and Chem lecture test (Energetics, kinetics and equilibria) in 2 weeks' time. Bio SPA in 3 weeks' time. Chem SPA and Bio lecture test (Mitosis and meiosis) in 4 weeks' time.
