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.

jia you ba~
