I've removed the links to my notes.... have no fear, they are all still there! What i did was create another index page that links to all my archived notes.
So its not so cluttered on my links section. The link to the new index page is placed under.. the links section of cse.. where else?
However.. you still have to surf in to my blog for any NEW notes. I will use that index page only for old notes (maybe a term by term update)
hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Run
wow its been another tiring day! I actually left school at 815 pm and .. yes had to crawl to J8 to eat dinner and then crawl home...phoebe's still not well yet, she's still in hospital.. what i heard is she needed a complete a$$ overhaul.
well at least she gets a shiny new bum FOC. but in the meantime, i think i need to crawl for another few days. UGH.
oh it seems that J8 is crawling with 3N pple.. bumped into a few of them XD
and looks like every1's quite busy. I stayed late in school to help run a perfumery worskshop.. its pretty fun! we got to extract essential fragrance from some fruits.... maybe someday we can try that for flowers and other stuff blend our own perfumes. but really, extraction from nature gives such a low yield.. its far better to obtain the fragrances directly through organic synthesis from cheap raw materials. after workshop had to do some admin and datamanagement.. and before i knew it its 8pm. I think i need an extra 2 hrs a day.
chilling out to snow patrol now.. its so emo haha!
here's my fav:
"Run" - Snow patrol
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Anyway from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes I nearly do
Light up..
louder...
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
I just want to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Chem bonding Discussion
I finished doing up a chem bonding discussion notes.
Its like a summary of key points and perspectives, except that it is expanded to include Key explanations.
-->Click here<-- to get it
A real summarized summary will come soon

Chem lecture test 1.
For those who are mislead into thinking that chem lecture test 1 is a supergeniusrjc paper, please do not have this misconception. It is exactly fair A lvl standard. Why? because the questions are generally taken from TYS.
But don't be discouraged, most likely if one of the items below are improved, you'd soon find chem a breeze.
1. approach, perspective and method of learning and problem solving
- some think that chem is mysterious, cheem or cannot be visualized
- some try to memorize without understanding. this leads to pt 2
2. confusing between too many facts and points
- break down complex problems/observations link each observation to the main causative factors.
- examining factors 1 by 1 to solve problem/exaplain observation
- have a systematic methodology (like step by step mtd) to solve problems
- summarizing all the above 3 points into gd summaries for each topic
3. Experience and mastery. comes with practice and application of pt 2 above into regular problem solving situation.
in short, some need a paradigm shift of how they treat the subject(esp those that find chem senseless or mysterious), some need problem solving skills(those that read a qn and dunno whats expected of them), and most need experience and practice.(those that out of time, miss key points, careless)

agony anonymous!
OGAY!
Wow so many anonymous taggers on my board... pls dun be anon next time.
alright i get the point of these students. I'm sorry, i didnt mean to say that ALL students who did badly have bad attitude or didnt try or don;'t care. I know there are those who studied and those who tried.
Right let me be more specific.
1. In each class there are always some students who are truly lazy/illdisciplined/ dun care. How'd I know?
I observe. These fellas always :
a) hand in late work,
b) when i go around tutorial during discussion they have not prepared, but instead have a blank piece of paper.c)
c) when i discuss points in class, they'd stared blankly.
not bothering to:
-process respond, clarify doubts, paritcipate
-take dopwn important key points and notes
-usually when the bell goes but i'm not ready to dismiss yet, these pple will pack their bags while i'm still discussing something! amazing!
2. Those who do not respond in class.
while this is not a "bad" attitude, its an undesirable one. they just get lost.. and keep quiet about it. How to learn?
3. Those who study AT THE LAST MINUTE and not consistently trying/understanding/following
Last minute work doesnt cut it. busy during the hols?? come on so was I and every1 else. manage your time. if you work consistently during term time, your wouldnt have to do last minute work, or expend too much of your holidays. its only 3 topics. all u need is about 3 hrs for 3 days and you're pretty much done. DO NOT tell me you cannot spare 9 hrs of your 1 week holiday, plus the fact that these things shd be clear during the term itself.
4. certain people refuse remedial when i asked them if they wanted it. too bad.
5. certain people never visit this blog and they don't bother to get the notes. too bad also.
6. corrections, see me's....
some people refuse to learn from their mistakes. they don't mark their work properly when we go through or comparing with suggested solutions, they don't do corrections. Some people don't bother to see me when i write see me in their work.
7. people who got 5 marks or less.
how's that even possible unless they didnt study?!?! are they that inept?? I think its an insult to say that 5 marks is their standard.
So there, if you do not belong to on of the 7 categories above. I don't mean to scold you. When i admonish students, especially for common issues, I have to admonish the class together. but i know who are the real black sheep. So if you've been really trying, you have my respect, and know that my admonishings are not for you.
If you've been reaaally trying and dint do well, perhaps you need to reflect on why is that the case, and maybe to see me to discuss some solutions.
If you belong to any1 of the 7 categories above, please accept the criticism and improve.
so there i still love all of you k! (perhaps thats why its painful to see the horrible results and the above probs 1-7, if I dun care, i'd be unaffected)
oh btw about the notes. At the very least I will not give out the chembonding 1 assigment worked solutions. why?
because on wednesday, in a certain class, there were these 2 students who refused to mark their work as i went through the solutions in class. Even when i told them directly, twice, to do so. And all they had was their bag(packed up and eager to leave) in the desk.. no work, nothing, not taking down anything. this was on wednesday 22/3/06 11-12 noon.
I will not let these bochap students benefit without putting in effort. Therefore no worked solutions will be released. too bad.

Chem notes
highlight main points in your notes.
For summaries, 1st read the notes, understand the concepts and jot those concepts down beside the sumarized key points
Anyway, once I complete chem bonding 1 and 2 summary, I will not make or post further notes, since so many pple have a bochap attitude.

Every girl should have a....
Ok I'm going to broadcast something for an ex-student of mine who's doing this project.
And its a community service message! remember: EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES!
here are the details:
About The Project
We are supporting the Breast Cancer Foundation - specifically to help them to increase awareness of and knowledge on breast cancer and related issues amongst young women aged 20-39 yrs. Our focus is to encourage young women to make Breast Self Examination (BSE) a part of their lives from a young age, as this is the best way to protect one's self.
To aid us in this endeavour, we will be selling custom-made planners that include suggestions and information about how women can protect themselves.
Dates: 20th - 22nd March (Mon-Wed)
Venue: SMU, The Concourse (outside Kopitiam)
BCF Notebooks with Planner
Our team has specially designed custom-made BCF planners which includes a Monthly Planner, reminding women to examine themselves on particular dates of the month. The planners will contain facts and messages from the BCF including, how to do BSE, myths and truths about breast cancer and the various know causes of breast cancer, to name a few. The highlight of the planner is the calendar as it will contain periodic reminders to the owner to do BSE on particular days. The planner will also include a few inspirational stories from breast cancer survivors about their struggle with and victory over the disease.
These notebooks are sold at a minimum donation of $5. All proceeds will go to the BCF.
Guys, you can buy the pink book for your loved ones too! Like your mum, aunties, sisters, girlfriends etc etc!

super secret studying technique
Ever wonder how some pple (heh who who?) can remember the 10000000000 bits of chem concepts/ formulas/ reactions/structures blah blah blah?
cos there's a *super secret studying technique* teehee.. teach you k
Ok its based on a chem and bio idea. We know that stuff will diffuse from a region of high concentration to low concentration right?
Assumptions: the notes contain more knowledge than our brains k.
right so when you sleep you put the notes under ur head. or maybe on top of it (but it may slip off..) during the 4-8 hrs that you are asleep the knowledge will diffuse into your brain! In fact, I actually dreamed of studying some stuff before... and the qns came out for exams before! (ok i was really desperate)
Heh this technique will definitely save you time so that you can surf really cool blogs such as this one :)

Chem Bonding 1 Summary
I tried summarizing key points in chem bonding 1 to help you guys. It'll only make sense if you read your own notes and understand though. The summary is meant to supplement and highlight MAIN POINTS.
Its meant to be complete and seamless with chembonding 2. so when that's about done, i'll do the summary for chembonding 2 too. So please file up the whole thing together then.

i mean 1/8 of the jc life of this batch is over! and things are only gonna get more intense. and then all of a sudden they will graduate and disappear... ~~sigh~~. kk before this little bout of angst morphs into a really morose dispirited wail of resignation.. i will.. get a haircut!!! Hair Inn at centre point very nice!! :) :) heh cut and wash for only 20$ ++ nice service, good cut, and a really comfy wash.. d*** therapeutic i tell you!
that plus i actually do need a haircut for that mop thats growing on my head.
ohoh and plus some Robinson's vouchers i have to spend :D
oh haha those jokes in my previous postings (if you didnt get them, they are jokes ok.. so LAFF!) they are not originally from me of course. some of you might have seen it before. I just happened to surf onto them again and decided to do a little cut n pastin.
heh later on i will talk about really funny bio and chem stuff i just read. Like Trombicula fujigmo and cummingtonite.
but yes back to angsty stuff....

Beware of Dihydrogen Monoxide: A dangerous chemical!
BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE!
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there.
Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
Dihydrogen monoxide:
· is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain. · contributes to the "greenhouse effect." · may cause severe burns. · contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape. · accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals. · may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes. · has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
· as an industrial solvent and coolant. · in nuclear power plants. · in the production of styrofoam. · as a fire retardant. · in many forms of cruel animal research. · in the distribution of pesticides. · as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.
Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use

German rocks!
For all you linguistic freaks out zer...
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German which was the other possibility.As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English".In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be ekspekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen world!
