Results

I got back my report book today. Here are my results for mid year exams. They are overall results consist of CA1 and SA1.

English: 55.6 (C5)

Chinese: 60.6 (B4)

camping woes--part 2

Today, we had a briefing from our camp guide. He told us all these stuff about the safety, activities and "punishments" during the camp.
He said he want to make this camp an enjoyable and exciting one. But in my opinion, this camp(and all the other camps) are going to be a torturous one.
He said that a group which consist of 20 people only have 15 minutes to bath. What kind of life is this? I usually take more than 30 minutes to bath. He said if we take more than the time given, we may have no meals and may go to sleep at midnight. How dare he threaten us with no food and delay our sleeping time! We are born free, they have no rights to control us. Besides who are they to control us?
Furthermore, we cannot bring any electronic appliances like mp3 and handphones. The life there will be primitive, we are to bath with cold water and away from any means to communicate with the world. For me, even on hot days, I still bath with warm water.
I hope that something nasty happens during the camp. Those activities which we must participate are "dangerous", they include rafting and rock climbing. Hope it rains heavily with thunder and lighting throughout the camp. The teacher-in-charge had already told us that if it is just drizzling, we will still continue the activities. By raining heavily is the only way I could escape.
Here are some ways you could make them pay for organising this camp. For example, you could fall ill, down with flu or food poisoning(the ones who organise this camp will be blamed), heatstroke, or injuries from the activities played. It is going to sweet revenge.
All these may seem childish, but I really resent the idea of camping.
I am finding all ways to get out of it.

camping woes

Sec 3 camp is coming, and I dread this day. It is compulsory for all to attend. The camp will be on the 28th, 29th and 30th of June, right after our 1 month holiday.
I hate camping because I felt that we are deprive of our basic rights such as air-cons, fans and even proper baths. It is disgusting to sleep with others in a tent that is stuffy and with no proper beds. Besides, the weather is so warm nowadays, to have no air-cons or even fans, it is going to be roasting. There will be so many people waiting for their turn to take a bath that we have to be quick or they'll be banging at the bathroom door. I do not have a pleasant experience during my last camp. The food is yucky, this is one dish I can't forget : tomato with cucumber, throughout the camp, I think I just ate the rice. The is only a reason why I hate going to camp. I am a fussy eater and I hate anything with garlic in it.
Then there is the games which are suppose to promote coorperation and teamwork. I 've play enough of these games in my school-life. I don't think it is going to help us. I also hate getting myself wet, I don't mind it when I am in the swimming pool, but to get wet in a river or sea send shivers down my spine.
The more my family and friends say how it is going to be fun in a camp, the more I resist the idea. I cannot see how "fun" and "unforgettable" it is going to be. It will be wet, stuffy, yucky, sweaty during the camp.
The only way to get of the camp is to fall sick. I really hope that I can be ill.

Exams--part 7...the last part

I was right...today's "A" maths paper was a goner, forever lost.
Today was the last day of examinations and yet they do this to me. I only knew how to do some questions, the others were either half-done or left blank. I am that pathetic.
All I want is to pass my "A" maths, just 50 marks. I don't think I can even do that. I am very miserable right now, I nearly cried when I saw the paper. The questions were so difficult, (maybe not that difficult to other people).
How could the teachers do this to us? Do they "enjoy" watching us suffer?
So here I am, seeking solace in the virtual world.
Pray with me
h~~ "taking me to the hospital"

Exams--part 6

Today's exam is Geography. The exam only takes 45 minutes, that is why I am home so early. I am utterly disappointed, I over-estimated my time and thus didn't finish my questions. I spent at least 30 minutes on the map reading questions and was left with only a few minutes to do the second question. I lost 4 marks on the last part of the second question. The paper is only 25 marks.
I had high expectations for Geography as I always get good marks for my tests.
I am really sad. Hope that I can still get the marks I want for Geography.
Tomorrow is the last exam, "A" maths. "A" stands for additional. I don't want to think about it, it is going to be goner.
( 9 down, 1 to go )
Not looking forward to that...
~>.<~ 'cries'

Exams--part 5

Today's exam was E maths paper 2. It was difficult. I skipped the whole question 1 which was 9 marks. I think I am going to make it this time. Many of my friends also said it was difficult.
I don't know why teachers like to "torture" us so much. First was E maths paper 1, now this. I do not want to get back my paper.
Anyway, tomorrow is Geography, one of my favourite subjects. I really hope I can do very well in this, to help my Social Studies.
( 8 down, 2 to go )
2 days before torture ends....

Exams--part 4

Today's Chemistry was not that difficult and easy. I forgot some of the notes I study, example the formula for Iron(III) Oxide, I wrote FeO3, but the correct answer is Fe2O3.
Tomorrow is a public holiday, so it is going to be a long weekend. There is a show on channel 5 I must watch, it features Michael Buble.
It is said that E Maths paper 2 is a tricky one, if that is true, then I am doomed.
( 7 down, 3 to go )
Until next time

Happy 15th Birthday!

Finally, I am 15. I already celebrated it with my family last Saturday.
The " extra luck " did not really work, the E maths paper was difficult. I think I am not going to make it this time, but there is still paper 2. Paper 2 may not be tougher than paper 1, I hope. I skipped about 3 questions completely, all were on graphs. Graphs is one of my worst topics, other than indices and algebra.
On a good note, the Biology paper 1 was quite easy. I did not study Biology last night, spent the whole day studying maths. I just read through my file today. I had got most questions right.
Tomorrow is Chemistry.
( 6 down, 4 to go )
m m m m m m m *Happy
m m m m m m m m Birthday*!

Exams--part 3

Today's Physics was a disaster. I already lost about 5 marks, when I check my textbook for the answers. I can't believe I got the SI unit for length wrong.
Hope that at least I can get 60 and above.
Tomorrow is my E Maths paper 1 and Biology paper 1. The biology should be quite alright, I am worried about E Maths. Maths is never my "strong" subject.
I will be turning 15 tomorrow. A day I have been waiting.
Hope that I will have extra luck tomorrow.
p Well Wishes p

Exams--part 2

Today's exams were Social Studies and Biology Paper 2. The social studies paper was only 1 hour long. I thought my essay on Northern Ireland is quite alright. I memorised it better than the Sri Lanka.
After that, when all the other students had left, my class had Biology paper. We are the only class taking pure biology. The paper however was not very easy. I can't remember all the points to write in my essays. I am so forgetful, I didn't bring my four-leaf clover to school. I always bring it when I had exams.
Tomorrow is combine Physics. I am not that good in Physics, need to memorise a lot of facts and formulas.

More good news. Today, which was a normal school day, it was early dismissal for us.
The reason was that our school is use as a polling station for the upcoming General Election. No is to stay back in school, to make sure everyone do so, we will be "escort" out of the school by our teachers.
On the 18th of May, it will be Marking Day, which means school holiday for us. On the 19th, because of the elections, we are given one day off. I am so happy, it is going to be a long weekend and the best thing is that exams are over.

Exams -- part 1

Exams really "sap" your energy from you. You have to use your brainpower. Just after two days of exams, my hand ached from gripping the pen too tightly. I suffered from stiff neck and back pain due to sitting on the chair, for more than two hours, writing away. My eyes also hurt.
On a good side, exams days are one of my favourite days in school. I almost look forward to it. The reason being that only on exams days are we allow to go home early. We can leave right after the paper. Sometimes, the exam only takes 45 minutes, so by 9 am, I am home.

school stuff....part 1

There are somethings I don't like in my school.
First, even if it was a rainy day, so long it did not rain at the time we need to assemble at the "parade square", we were to sit on the wet ground. At times, it just stop raining a few minutes ago, and we still must sit or squat on the floor. It is digusting, and the skirt takes a long time to dry. At the very least, they should let us stand throughout the assembly or go to the hall for assembly.
Second, from tomorrow onwards, nobody is to open the classrooms at the beginning of the day. Before, the chairman of the class can take the keys and open the classroom to let the classmates in. This is good as those whose parents need to go to work early, can stay in the class and do homework. There are many students who come to school early, some as early as 6.30 am. What will they do if the classrooms are not open?
I, personally reach school at 7, which is still quite early. I hate to have to wait in the canteen or anywhere else. The classroom gives me a sense of security because only my classmates can come in.
This "new rule" will take place until the end of the term. The reason behind this rule is that we always came down late for assembly. The teachers had enough, thus this new rule is born... Apparently, this will prevent such things from happening again. Wonder if it is true....

To the Zoo-13 Feb

13th February was the start of our 1 week school holiday.
For CIP, I was learning to be a Zoo guide. CIP means Community Involvement Programme.
It was a 3 hour lesson. As there was nothing much, I will not be focusing on that.
After lunch, it was free and easy for us. Together with my friends, we went to the new Australia Outback. We also visited other animals like the polar bear. At 2.30, we were supposed to gather. That day was the day of the opening of the new Wildlife Healthcare and Research Centre. We were privileged to be the only students there to witness it. The president was also there. We were given a tour inside the hospital, we felt so proud.
After that, we went to a sort of "banquet" room where we enjoyed some light food and desserts. So in a way, "we ate what the president ate". We took photos with the president and not only that, we got to have free elephant and tram rides.
That was great.

Sports Carnival

Today was the last day of school it was also our Sports Carnival. It was not " Sports Day " because our principal said that on sports days, only a few were taking part, whereas sports carnival was everyone got to take part.
There were many events such as 'banner making', 'sandwich making', 'anti-drug poster and anti-theft collar pin design making', 'mascot making', 'road relay', 'mass skipping', 'beep test' and 'dancing marathon'. Each of us was involved in something.
I was in the mass skipping. 10 of us jumping together while 2 swing the rope. Our class got into the final 3. We were the third in the secong round. But there were no medals for us, only the first and second place got medals.
Our class mascot was a banana. We all wore yellow shirts to support.
Our class did win some medals though. In the 'beep test', the girls got first. In the 'road relay', out team got first. In the 'sandwich making', we got second.
I had fun today although my legs were very painful.
(Holidays starts next week.)
till next time

sch news: 25th Feb

Today, my father is returning to Singapore. He went to Thailand to work.
Yesterday, my class had a bag-check by the teachers in search of handphones. We must emptied our bags and took out every book that was under the table. The teachers checked everywhere, including the IPP kit, boots which the students brought for their CCA, pencil-cases, pockets etc. The only place they didn't check is the inside of the over-head projector (OHP) and the casing that hold cables and wires. Last year, some of my classmates hid their handphones inside the casing. They "ripped" out the cover and slot handphones inside.
One of my classmates put his handphone inside my bag. I was so frightened and urged him to take it out. In the end, he put it inside a small bag where he kept his boots and uniform. The teacher checked his boots and uniform but didn't check the bag. So, the handphone was not discovered.
None of us were caught, what amused me was the teachers praised us. They told us to "keep up the good job". During recess, my friend and I had a good laugh about this. " It was not that we didn't bring handphones but how to hide them"
Warmest Wishes

sch news: 20th Feb

Today, my class had a debate with another class. The motion was "madia today has much vice". My class was the proposition team.
The opposition team was clearly the "stronger", "well-prepared" team. Most of them were able to project their voices. Anyway, my class had put in a lot of effort. Although my class lost, I still had a good time listening to their points.
Still lots of tests coming...
'Holidays" is also coming....
Till next time

T.D Day

On February 15 was T.D. Day. I cannot disclosed what the day was, so sorry.
First , we had a talk in the school hall. We were told that there will be food and electricity rationing.
After that, it was back to study. But before long, we had the I.P.P Exercise. It stands for In Place Protection. We must off all electrical appliances including fans and lights. We used trash bags and masking tapes to "seal" up the windows and doors. Our teacher told us to seal up a part of the windows as it was only an exercise. We had to stay inside the stuffy classroom and wait for the all clear signal.
For recess, all the stalls were closed. Instead. we were given a coupon to get our 'ration'. Back in class, the electricity was cut off. We had to study in a hot, dim classroom. We were all sweaty and uncomfortable. This is a message to us that we should treasure what we have.
After all it was quite a fun day.

Valentine's Day

Just a few more days and it will be Valentine's Day.
In my school, Valentine's Day is an "important" affair. Our gift shop will be selling roses and soft toys. On Monday, there will be songs dedication. A lot of people had already ordered the roses.
For me, there is nothing to look forward to. If you get what I mean....
Anyway, wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.
