End of J1 Start of Hols!!!!!!
Well, today is the first day of hols. At least, first day of hols for PJC J1's. Had some Maths and GP lessons for about a week after mid of Nov, when school hols usually begin. Feeling kinda relaxed now, hahas. Not much of a surprise really, seeing as now I have certainly been promoted to J2, done with H1 mother tougue and PW and now that hols has begun and there's no more school.
Slept in today just slightly later than usual and woke up early to go for a morning jog. Haha.. been a long time since I last went for a morning jog. Used to wake up early on weekends to go jogging but due to the heavy workload of JC, thus being more tired than before, I have slept in on most weekends and seldom went jogging.
So went for a jog for only about two rounds around the park at my void deck. Seriously, my stamina is not as good as before. Was feeling breathless only after about the first and a half round! Anyways, plan to go jogging and exercise more as well during the hols. Really got to get my stamina back up to what it was before. Besides jogging, I have also decided to do push ups and sit ups every morning as a sort of warm up before going to jog. Also hoping to get my body to be fitter by doing so. Doing chin ups at my void deck as well. Hahas... hoping to develop some muscles, hehs!
Then again, the start of my hols also means that more work is coming my way. I really should get down to doing some revision soon seeing as I've been kinda relaxed for the past week, as I've still got lessons. But with the start of hols now, I'm planning to complete some things.
I've gotta
- Complete all hols homework by next week
- Clear up my room and go get new furniture for my room ( Gonna be really tough, still clueless as to what I'm planning to do.. zzz)
- Go cycling.. woohoos! and bowling maybe
- And of course revision of all J1 work
Yeah, and of course, I've to do some packing for my trip to Korea too. But that's really not very impt for me right now, still about 2 or 3 weeks away.
Hmm... still thinking of playing mahjong lehs. The com's MJ just does not satisfy my wants. Epic phail!

After promos lessons
Well, its way after promos now. We've oso got our results.
But still have got lessons, mainly only Maths lessons and some GP enrichment.
Still have to spend whole day in school though. Coz maths is in the morn from 8 - 930. Then GP is in the afternoon 2.30 to 5.30. Thus, got to spend like 4-5 hours in the school everyday.
Maths lessons are just going through J2 topics in preparation for next year(ie. Permutation and Combination, Probability). GP is more of teaching us better ways to study for GP and to approach the questions rather than teaching content. Done by an external vendor.
At least, lessons will be over by next wednesday, then the hols will begin.
But still, there are hols hw to be completed.
Possible to be having a class chalet at the end of year. Think it will be quite fun. First 10 S13 class chalet.
Got our class T- shirt and pullover le. Both looks ok, though the pullover is quite thick. Can use for Korea trip.. haha.
For Alchemist Club, we are now going into preparing for the Open House next year and to take over more duties as J2's next year. I will be helping out with the quiz section of the Open House 2011.
Planning a mahjong session also, for after I return from Korea. Ahh.. finally! Mahjong!!
On side note, been going shopping quite alot since the promos, PW and Chinese Exams are over. Thus, managed to get myself some red underwear finally... hahas.

I'm PROMOTED!!! J2 here I come!!
Hahas... feeling really happy now. No! That doesn't do it justice.
Correction. I'm feeling estatic now!!
Got my promotion results today at 9.ooam in the morn, 15/11/10. Went back to school at 9am.
Hmm.. so why am I feeling estatic and not just happy. Well, if I had expected to be promoted, this will then be expected and I will just be feeling happy. However, I seriously did not expect myself to be eligible for promotion as I was quite sure that I was not going to get a pass for my H2 Maths and my H2 Chem was an S grade for promos.
However, I barely scraped through with E's for my H2 maths, chem ; H1 phys, GP. However, H2 Econs got a U. Still, met the criteria for promotion. Got my 2 H2 passes, GP pass and H1 content subject pass.
Quite thankfully, only 3 in our class did not make it. So the class is still pretty much still together. However, due to our class size being so small, may nid to split class next year. Will only know in Dec.
After so many times of getting really poor grades, this is really a relief. However, there's still much more work to be done to build a stronger foundation. My foundation for my subjects still not very strong, as can be seen by my results. So need to spend more time revising and understanding my work in this hols.
Actually.. not much of a hols too. Due to the trip to Korea, I have counted only 44 days to the start of school. Starting school on 10 Jan though.
Gonna be going for a buffet on Saturday as a form of encouragement for future successes. A's for A levels... Hahas!

OP Actual A level Exam!!
Had the actual OP exams ytd. Went quite well I felt, at least I managed to rememeber most of my script and the little bit that I got jumbled up I managed to continue speaking as if that was the actual script. So all in all, was quite a smooth presentation. In fact, all PJ086 mambers did really well too. Memorisation of our scripts were all almost perfect and really smooth.
As for Q & A, questions were kind of easy also. Nothing that really required much external knowledge like about other countries or the technology that we were going to use. Therefore, I believe that we were all able to answer to the question and give a competent evaluation in our answer. However, due to the questions being easy, like only focusing on data collection methods and such, and not really going deeper into our project, there was really little elaboration that we could give about our project. Anyways, I got a question on E- learning, ' To what extent do you think E- learning will work for students?' All of us didn't expect that, that the examiners will ask two questions on E- learning.
Hahas, was still feeling really nervous just before the exam, trying to memorise my script even better and running through our presentation and skit again. Oh yeah, think our skit went pretty smoothly, with some editing done by Kendra.
Furthermore, I also feel that Alan's part as the conclusion ended the whole presentation quite well, with a link back to the 'Speed Sensor System' as the solution to speeding on roads and thus the loss of human lives due to road accidents. The emotional blackmail would also have left an impact in our assessors.
Oh... and we decided not to use the videos for the end of our presentation le. Felt that it would disrupt the flow of the presentation. So we made do without the interview of me and the crushing paper vid.
All in all, really an excellent job on everyone's part. We may not know how we will be graded but we have certainly done our best and the A will certainly be ours!!
PW cycle is almost to an end. One last component to hand in, that is the I & R with the GPF. Will be handing it in tomorrow on Friday the 12th Nov. Should be able to get an EE for I & R. Hahas... shall blog about that tomorrow. Bye:)
One more step closer to an A for PW...

Oral Presentation Final
It's early in the morning at 7 plus now. Hmm.. so why am I still at home and blogging for that matter?
Well... now that we have entered into preparing for OP exams, our time in school is very much free and easy. On some days, we may not even be required to be in school as we do not have presentations. so we can just do our work outside school. However, we still do go to school everyday for a more conducive environment to practise our OP. Rather, that's coz we have got presentations on most days. Having said that, we did our 6th and FINAL presentation for Mr Ivan yesterday. Even though so far we have done 6 presentations under his supervision, there are still much improvements to be made. Mainly with our slides though. As of now, we have edited our presentation slides countless times, done individual recordings of our presentations, written out where to click the slides on our scripts and come up with a "question bank" of possible questions that may be asked so as to prepare for our Q&A section.
Today, we are just one day away from the OP exams and we still have much memorising to do to get used to presenting smoothly. As we do not have presentation today, we will be going to school slightly later. That's why I'm still at home. I can say that I've memorised my part of the presentation pretty well as of now, having listened to my recording and practised my script quite a number of times before. However, it still isn't smooth enough yet. Besides, there is still the hand gestures to work on which I have definitely got much difficulty in. Waving my hands around randomly while speaking just makes me look like an idiot!
Anyways, as this will be our last practice before the actual exam, we will certainly be putting our best efforts into it today and do our best to not waste time on unimportant things. Apparently, our other 2 videos are still not too successful other than the opening video. May be planning to abandon them as our presentation is quite good already for now. The videos may disrupt the flow of the presentation. Kk... time's running out. Gotta go hang out at G1- 38 again. Wish me luck for tmr!!

A levels Chinese Paper
Had A level H1 Chinese paper just yesterday. It is my first A level paper... haha!
Well.. went quite smoothly, was not too difficult. Think I wrote quite well for Paper 1, lots of "gan qing" words. Paper 2 was also not very difficult. Haha...'chou shi' and 'xia qi' did not come out. So quite easy. Should be able to get an A.
Really hoping to get an A. Quite possible actually.
Now there's only PW left:)
