HOMEWORK! /// 8:14 AM

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL FOR THE EXTREMELY WELL DONE PW RESULTS.

YAY! Now i know all of you will have at least an 'A' grade in your final Alvl report card :D The rest of the subject grades will still be a mystery but u know well you can increase your probability of getting 'A's :D

But before you get all high and elated about PW, do spend some time thinking about (and doing) the mountains of HOMEWORK you will have to complete this weekend:

chemistry

Thermochem exercise Qn1-7
thermochem tutorial til Qn 15 (16&17 if you're fast)

~WJ

PW rox /// 6:16 AM

Although i predict no one will come and read this blog, just wanna wish all 08s203 peeps all the best in recieving ur PW results, probably tomorrow. =x.
YAY! we've all worked hard for it, put in our best foot forward, so it's time we get what we deserve! (A grade!) :D

on the other hand, be mentally prepared for the worse...

say HELLO to March block test! /// 7:03 AM

HELLO!!
If you are not anticipating any intense studying sessions yet, this should get into your mind NOW: (say this pledge please)
"hello Mr/Mz March block test! I swear i will conquer you, make sure you don't challenge my intelligence, prevent you from going down the drain, and give me all the As that i deserve. (and being a proud MJ student, you know clearly more than anyone else that you OUGHT TO/HAVE TO/MUST study haaaaard in order to DESERVE the As)"

You will most probably go.. " huh... how to study hard. I study also cannot get good grades... :( " Relax ok? There's still hope in this one precious week.
I can't emphasise this enough but just a cliche yet valuable advice from the study guru,

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
Plan your March holidays time wisely.
don't do unecessary things and regret after that, knowing you could jolly well have used the time to study for the extra marks needed.

It isn't the really major exam like your Alvls yet. but as quoted from the teachers, this will be a real gauge as to how well prepared you are, at this stage, for the coming A levels.
so, in other words, you choose your own destiny yeah?

anyway, just a gentle reminder, complete the following before chem consultation:

MBT revision package
ALL organic Exercises (don't worry, it's really just the basics)
memorise the 5 mechanisms: FRS, EA, ES, SN2 (NS), NA
Memorise (and know how to apply) ALL concept maps (we've done this a couple of times already right? haha)
Learn how to draw alpha-helix and Beta pleated sheet in proteins structure
Write down or take note of all doubts to ask Ms Ong

As for maths, it is strongly advisable for you to print out the past year MBT papers and practice on them
For econs, do e-learning. ( i think it's on exchange-rate determination... there's alot of the e lessons available so i don't know which it is.. but there's only assessment on the exchange rate determination)
For physics, you heard what Dr Vaz said. don't just spend your time on one subject, or rather other subjects, alone. Revise your tutorials and lecture notes and attempt the TYS qns.
For GP.. i don't really have any idea of what to do, but there's GP consultation slots available on Saturday, 9-11am.
That's all for this week's homework update! not much of homework besides preparation for MBT :D

P.S : take note that this is not for self-indulgence but for a real purpose in motivating you 08S203 folks to get hyped up in studying. :D

Wish the lot of you all the best for March Block Test.
Keep your brain healthily exercising! :]

Econs- mr hon's answers /// 8:51 AM

ECONS ANSWER (might not be complete)

Slowdowns in US, Eurozone, Japan and Asia --> lower income as well as les optimistic business outlook and lower consumer confidence --> lower demand for consumer goods including imports from Singapore. Demand for imported goods are income-induced. As a result, Singapore will reduce exports to these regions --> fall in net export --> multiple contraction of national income and hence negative economic growth in singapore.

The global financial and economic shocks will be transmitted to domestic economic activity both directly and indirectly. The global financial crisis 2008/2009 and the resultant squeeze in liquidity and credit impinge on domestic economic activities in 3 main ways:

Firstly, the crisis has an immediate impact on the sentiment-driven segments on the financial sector, such as wealth advisory and brokerage & treasury activities.
Second, as consumer sentiment weakens, this has a direct bearing on domestic-oriented activities such as retail trade and those related to the property market.
Third, the repercussions on the external-oriented sectors come indirectly through a widespread contraction in economic activity and a sharp pull back in spending in the external economies, including Asia. Given open nature of Singapore economy, a large proportion of the industries such as manufacturing, transport-hub and tourist services are quickly affected by the fall in external demand.

Subsequently, as business conditions worsen, companies’ profits margins are squeezed, forcing them to curtail investment spending and cut back on employment and wages. This later in turn further dampens consumer sentiment and consumption, thus exacerbating the contraction in domestic-oriented activities. As a result, Singapore economic growth has been negatively impacted.

Homework updates /// 5:35 AM

The weekends are coming, yet again...

so naturally, you will expect HOMEWORK to pile up again.. but please try your best and make sure u clear those homework too ok? :D

It's gonna be a tough week ahead with MARCH BLOCK TEST around the corner.. but perservere on!! i believe everyone of us in 08S203 still has the chance to do well in march block test so jiayou jiayou!! don't slack or procrastinate too much! you just need to make full use of the weekends. :]

ok anyways, these are the homeworks to be done by this weekend:

/// 10:43 PM

http://www.asiaone.com/News/Education/Story/A1Story20090218-122861.html

Saw this while blog hopping and decided to find the actual article.

Polytechnic Student dies before exam.

He threw up his lunch and then followed by a lot of blood, while studying halfway with friends.

Was thinking like how many of us are already falling sick and looking so pale during lessons. So even though we want to score good grades for our March block tests, lecture tests to come as well as the A'levels, please don't push your body over the limits. Drink plenty of water and have a good diet + exercise regularly.

I know this is random.

Oh well, just take care guys.

It would be damn ~!@#$%^&*()_+ if one of your close friends just leave you on one fine day and there you are, knowing he/she will never be coming back again. \:

CNY notice borad deco(: /// 6:08 AM

A picture tells a thousand words.

cowsss /// 8:23 AM

This is so cute!!

CNY decoration /// 12:07 AM

Righto. A few of us discussed online a little regarding the CNY decoration yesterday night.
And these are the following suggestions:
1) Draw an Ox/Bull/Cow on the board. A few suggestions for the pic of the ox/bull cow...

2) Border the board with 'O' and 'X' (OXOXOX)
3) Interesting Information on CNY : different holidays in different countries

..Sorry i forgot the rest of the suggestions as most of the time we were crapping.. but do fill it in for me.

Basically, we're gonna paste the board with mahjong paper first, then border it with something (hong bao??) to represent the OXOXOX, draw and paint the ox/bull/cow, write the interesting cny info on 'scrolls' and paste it on the board. the rest are still up to the class to decide.

In the meanwhile, please kindly bring whatever markers, paint, HONG BAOS, or cny decorations you have at home.
Those who are unable to help in the decoration after schl on monday, please also inform wen eng.

OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Issue #2
CNY notice board decorations competition

Tasks:
1. Each JC2 CG is to decorate their CG home room(in our case, ~~e2-2~~ e3-2 [paiseh for typing wrongly]) notice board according to the theme:"A Blissful year" and/or on the year of Ox.
2. Each CG is to incorporate some interesting facts about CNY(e.g. Introduction of Chinese New Year flowers, traditions, symbolism of practices, food etc) in their decoration. It is highly encouraged to put up the information in Chinese and a different laguage(e.g. Chinese and English, Chinese and Malay) so that students from other racial groups can also learn about the traditions and culture of CNY(This component is taken into account for judging)
3. All decorations must be completed by Tuesday, 20th January 2009

********
We'd be doing the decorations on monday, 19th jan 2009 after lessons.(those who cannot make it pls inform me) The details of how the notice board should be decorated is not decided yet. Do post any suggestions on the tagboard. And meanwhile do keep checking out the class blog:D

Issue #3

school reopen! =D /// 1:10 PM

Gooda morningg 08S203 aliens out there!
Are you excited about school starting soon? do you miss having lessons? do you crave for the canteen food? Worrying that you are going to loose contact with your lecture notes? I bet you all do. HAHA!
but before you embrace the start of a JC2 life (oh so sorry if it sounds old.. =x), please be aware of the following:

1) report to classroom E3-2 on the 1st day of school before 7.30am. timetable will then be given.
2) bring you GC for MATHS TEST!!! (graphing techniques; differentiation incl. applications)
3) ...and most importantly, don't forget to bring YOURSELF. There will be goodies leftover from the BBQ waiting for you. :P
4) also equally important, rest well and make sure your eyelids won't rest during lessons :D

CYA mugging aliens!

P.S: ( class BBQ photo should be up soon)

BBQ @ DR vaz's house /// 6:15 AM

Map to 11 Saraca terrace (between 9 and 13). http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_1/travel_site_131518/5/

This is from Dr Vaz:
"Be prepared for a 15 minute walk but the scenery is great.
The bus stop is along YIO CHU KANG Road near Begonia Road.
In the event of any difficulties, pls call me."

:D

We will be having a short bowling outing at downtown east first.
and then we will be going to tampines GIANT to purchase the food.

If you're taking public transport to Dr vaz's house, take bus 81 from pasir ris int to kovan MRT, and then bus 70 (10 stops..) to somewhere near serenity park, and then walk to his house as shown on the above map. [alternative but longer method: take bus 39 from pasir ris to yishun mrt and then take bus 854]
that's the shortest route we can find unless you want to take cab.

talking about cab, some of us we'll be taking taxi there from giant tampines since the food is rather heavy (like the bee hoon). It is more advisable if you share a cab there bcos the cost will be around the same and it takes a much much shorter time. :D

SO meet at downtown east bus stop at 11.45am (have your own lunch first). If you can't make it at the point of time, you can always join us later at tampines giant go to Dr vaz's house straightaway.

oh! those who haven't pay up the class fund pls rmb to pay on that day ^^

how to be a nerd :) /// 3:03 AM

3men in heaven /// 7:24 AM

Each man gives a story

Three men were standing in line to get into heaven one day. Apparently it had been a pretty busy day, though, so Peter had to tell the first one, "Heaven's getting pretty close to full today, and I've been asked to admit only people who have had particularly horrible deaths. So what's your story?"

So the first man replies: "Well, for a while I've suspected my wife has been cheating on me, so today I came home early to try to catch her red-handed. As I came into my 25th floor apartment, I could tell something was wrong, but all my searching around didn't reveal where this other guy could have been hiding. Finally, I went out to the balcony, and sure enough, there was this man hanging off the railing, 25 floors above ground! By now I was really mad, so I started beating on him and kicking him, but wouldn't you know it, he wouldn't fall off. So finally I went back into my apartment and got a hammer and starting hammering on his fingers. Of course, he couldn't stand that for long, so he let go and fell -- but even after 25 stories, he fell into the bushes, stunned but okay. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran into the kitchen, grabbed the fridge and threw it over the edge where it landed on him, killing him instantly. But all the stress and anger got to me, and I had a heart attack and died there on the balcony."

"That sounds like a pretty bad day to me," said Peter, and let the man in.

The second man comes up and Peter explains to him about heaven being full, and again asks for his story.

"It's been a very strange day. You see, I live on the 26th floor of my apartment building, and every morning I do my exercises out on my balcony. Well, this morning I must have slipped or something, because I fell over the edge. But I got lucky, and caught the railing of the balcony on the floor below me. I knew I couldn't hang on for very long, when suddenly this man burst out onto the balcony. I thought for sure I was saved, when he started beating on me and kicking me. I held on the best I could until he ran into the apartment and grabbed a hammer and started pounding on my hands. Finally I just let go, but again I got lucky and fell into the bushes below, stunned but all right. Just when I was thinking I was going to be okay, this refrigerator comes falling out of the sky and crushes me instantly, and now I'm here."

Once again, Peter had to concede that that sounded like a pretty horrible death.

The third man came to the front of the line, and again Peter explained that heaven was full and asked for his story. "Picture this," says the third man, "I'm hiding inside a refrigerator..."

Popadom and Cation /// 3:39 AM

Havent got enough of the random story? Here is it!

"Once upon a time, Brad pitt had an imbecile pokemon called popadom. One time, Popadom struggle to study the process of maturing a popiah also known as puberty. The popadom was in coplanar euilibrium with the pacifier. Popadom has a reticent pet cat which is cation. That was one heterogeneous pet! The random accomplishments of his hot dreams reminds him of his anomalous memories. His sexy metaphor was as good as his homogenous cation. Popadom decideds to bathe his cat and ensures that the bethtub is at euilibrium. Once she put in the cat-i-on the shower. That is his responsibility as a sexy, meticulous cat owner. This is a challenge for the cat as it has no freedom of celebration. Feeling unappreciated, Brad pitt stuffed a homogenous pacifier in the cat's mouth, word... What a memorable growing up experience!"

:D /// 3:36 AM

After a gruelling period of mid years and waiting of results, we've finally gotten back most of the (atrocious) papers. Sad to say, we'll not be able to enjoy pizza from Dr vaz.. T__T ok that's not the point. The point is, we all know that most of us have done not so well (don't be disheartened if you fall under this category :D) and have reflected upon ourselves. Hence, I believe each and everyone of us are determined to work hard for the promos and not dissapoint our dear teachers and most importantly ourselves. right? SO Dr vaz has agreed to book a classroom 1 day in every week specially for us to have a class study group. :D
Thus i appeal to all of you citizens of 08s203 to try your best to attend the study group so that we can all work hard together as a class (as quoted from Dr vaz)... and, share the joy of getting good results at the end of this year. :D
Let's all work together towards the end of our goal - to get promoted!
p.s:(more details about the venue/date will be informed later)

During lesson... (this photo is original and contains no edited material)

then we went to come place near wen eng's house to play soccer using her PIG's soccer ball^^ before the match. yup, match. Ian vs weng eng, wen juan, liting and yichen

ian was warming up.lol!

well, the match had ended...ian got 5, we got 4(actually not bad, coz we are greenhorns.) zi kai and kim hui wanted to join us, but wen eng, wen juan and liting had to go for movie later, so...we walked to west plaza for some drinks

Nice photos, everyone! especially the ball with the man or the man with the ball, a great art!

art of manliness /// 3:48 AM

Ahoy people!
Just something interesting which i think you guys ought to see (:

ART OF MANLINESS

When most people today hear the word “virtue,” they usually don’t think “manliness.” Having virtue or being virtuous is looked at as being sissy or effeminate. In fact, we sometimes use the word in today’s vernacular to describe a woman’s sexual conduct.

However, virtue is far from being sissy or effeminate. The word “virtue” is actually rooted in “manliness.” “Virtue” comes from the Latin virtus, which in turn is derived from vir, Latin for “manliness.” Cicero, a famous Roman statesman and writer, enumerated the cardinal virtues that every man should try to live up to. They included justice, prudence, courage, and temperance. In order to have honor, a Roman man had to live each of the four virtues. When Aristotle encouraged men in the ancient world to live “the virtuous life,” it was really a call to man up.

Benjamin Franklin is an American legend. He single handily invented the idea of the “self-made man.” Despite being born into a poor family and only receiving two years of formal schooling, Franklin became a successful printer, scientist, musician, and author. Oh, and in his spare time he helped found a country, and then serve as its diplomat.

The key to Franklin’s success was his drive to constantly improve himself and accomplish his ambitions. In 1726, at the age of 20, Ben Franklin set his loftiest goal: the attainment of moral perfection.

In order to accomplish his goal, Franklin developed and committed himself to a personal improvement program that consisted of living 13 virtues. The 13 virtues were:

“TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.”
“SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.”
“ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.”
“RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.”
“FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.”
“INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ’d in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.”
“SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.”
“JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.”
“MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.”
“CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation.”
“TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.”
“CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.”
“HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.”

class tee =] /// 6:40 AM

Hey guys! so sorry.. the design is changed a little bit cos the printing guy said it wasn't possible to print it nicely for the arrow to join from the front to the back so we just made the arrow end in the front of the tshirt. the MJC barcode will oso be together with the bird shit. the arrow and lines will be of white colour, the "uniquely 08s203' word will be lime green in colour, and the back printing will be in silver colour. :D
and due to budgeting problems, we are unable to print personalised name for you people. For now, the cost of the class tee wld be $20.
.. so pls do rmb to bring $20 when u come back to schl.. PLUS the $10 class fund if you haven't pay yet :D
And in order to help u guys cut down on expenditure but still maximise your level of satisfaction, we've decided to go cycling and eating on the outing day instead of a bbq.

Finalised CLASS TEE design!! /// 6:42 AM

HEY peepul! the long awaited class tee design is finally finalised!! <- click here for larger version of front design.

/// 7:29 AM

Hey there citizens of 08s203. Guess what? I have finally found a "company" that is willing to sponsor for our class t-shirt. However, they request that we put the logo of their "company" on the front of our class t-shirt. So our class t-shirt will most probably turn out looking like this. Hope you people like it.
