another Fri~

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
