The doctor is IN!

Yo peeps,

i decided to set aside time to have consultations with pple

Its based on the free period/early days of the classes.
So if you are from a certain class and you got to see me, just approach me to make and appointment (otherwise i will assume i got no business for the day and close shop)

Make appointment in ADVANCE!~


The appointment will then usually be the timings we set aside here. Unless we make other special arrangements

So..
3R: Tuedays 11-12 or 1-2. I till take my lunch at the other slot tho
3H: Fridays 12-2
7B: Fridays 2-4

cya.

omg, i have sub average logical skills

Your IQ Is 120

Your Logical Intelligence is Below Average Your Verbal Intelligence is Genius Your Mathematical Intelligence is Exceptional Your General Knowledge is Exceptional

A Quick and Dirty IQ Test

What it all means is that i got no logical reasoning powers in my brain, although i look like i can really analyse stuff cos i can talk my way out of stuff. And Math is illogical dats why i'm exceptional. That includes general knowledge too. I mean stuff like the chemical formula of vanilla and chilli's capsaicin is similar is very illogical.

And finally i dunno why i'm a verbal genius, cos whenever i type or write, it comes out dsyelcix.

Shopping

Its been so frustrating shopping for records. I was looking for Death Cab's albums and I went to them all, Gramaphone, HMV, Borders... they've only got the EP- Stability, I managed to get Plans from gramaphone tho. But what I was really looking for was Transatlanticism and Photoalbum

And only HMV had Transatlanticism.. at a mind blowing 43$!!! I almost flipped when i saw the price OMG double-eww-tee-eff daylight robbery.

So I was resigned to just listening to music over Pandora... fortunately Pandora linked thru to Amazon..

So off I went to Amazon.. Transatlanticism was selling only for 12.99$ USD! That works out to be 20$SGD only!! I figured since I was going to pay for S&H, I may as well order more CDs..... so.. I bot Photoalbum, We got the Facts and We are Voting Yes, and Something about Airplanes!

All in all that worked out to be a total 56$USD incl. S&H. Onconversion thats about 90$SGD. Which works out to 22.50$sgd per CD. Amazing! Buy original!..

Oh If you dunno what's Pandora, its simply amazing
Its an internet radio station, with a twist. You key in your favourite artiste or song title, and they produce a playlist of songs which are similar just for you. Great for discovering new music or artistes you'll like. After I got Pandora, I completely gave up on Singapore radio. Its all noise.

Passion

Your True Love Is a Scorpio

Why you'll love a Scorpio: Strong and sexy, Scorpio will overpower you into falling in love (before you even realize it!). You'll love being swept away by Scorpio - into a world of insane passion. Why a Scorpio will love you: You don't mind letting your Scorpio take the reigns, as long as you know you're truly cared for. Loyal and devoted, you would never do anything to set off insanely jealous Scorpio.

What Sign Is Your True Love?

Haha I'll love a Scorpio?? but I am one! maybe dats why I love myself so much :P

Anyway, I think anything you do in life is fun only if you've the passion :D

I laffed when i saw the result

You Are Scary

You even scare scary people sometimes!

How Scary Are You?

Common Test Results 2

I'd also like to announce good news more systematically

Technicals: MSG(Mean Subject Grade) almost works like reverse of GPA, A is 1 point, B is 2 points.. etc etc E is 5 pts, S is 6 pts, and U is 7 pts

So MSG is the average grade point for the whole class.

%A-B is the percentage of candidates from the class that obtained either grade A or B, and % pass is obviously the percentage of candidates that passed (obtained E and above)

There are a total of 40 JC1 classes taking Chemistry.

Against the entire cohort,
3R has been ranked #1 for MSG, #1 for %A-B, #2 for %pass. #1 for overall. congrats!

3H has been ranked #6 for MSG, #5 for %A-B, #5 for %pass. #4 for overall. congrats too! Though I think 3H should have done much better....

7B beat 7A, keep persevering people!

3N I'm not gg to post your results.. since technically I don't teach you anymore.. but all I gotta say is, you guys are smart enough to do well k, just be more focused, and attentive, and learn on a daily basis!

Congrats to individuals who made top 5% of the entire cohort
Ranking....Name.......... Class......Score(%)
#11............Lawrence.....3H.......... 83.1
#19........... Shimin..........3R...........79.1
#24............Hwee Juin... 3R...........77.7
#37............Bibianna.......3R...........73.0
#48............Xinhui...........3R...........70.9

Common Test Results

After days of gruelling non-stop marking, and data entry and processing, followed by compilation of statistics, the collated common test results are out!!

Overall, cohort wise, it was somewhat ....discouraging... to put it mildly.

For a straightforward paper with mostly fact and recall with some application and evaluation question.. we really expected better. I just feel sad.

Ah well I do have one good piece of news for myself and prolly some of my audience here...

errr no there is no moderation in view of world cup


The good news is, 3R is the top class amongst the whole cohort, in terms of class average score (mean subject grade or MSG).

See 3R, I did tell you in class that I was least worried about you and you all will mostly do fine yah? I was right! This is a tribute to your consistent efforts and great attitude...Most of the time I'm right about stuff.

So as an encouragement to others... it's not too late!! remember, building knowledge is like constructing a building. It takes effort, planning, deliberate action, and most of all consistent effort and time. You can't build a great piece of architecture overnight! The foundation must be laid, and usually that is the slow and ugly part. you cant see the building for a long long time. But once the foundation is laid carefully and firmly, through day after day and month after month of careful consistent effort, the rest of the building can spring up easily and quickly.

If the foundation is not laid properly, the whole building cannot stand and will collapse. And yoiu simply can't build a good or wondeful work or architecture if construction is done hastily. With hasty work, you just end up building a couple of shacks.

And so it is with learning. Learning is a daily affair, when you give thought, deliberation, and meticulous attention to what you are seeing and hearing- that builds foundation. Last minute mugging just doesnt cut it, you don't learn anything, but just have a hodge podge slum of desperately memorise snippets.

For some of you who've been trying hard, don't worry, maybe your building takes longer to materialize but keep at it; one day it will appear! You might want to check on the building plans tho...

So there seeya folks
