Motherlode of Apologies

Hey guys! I'm here to apologise for the major screwup for our CIP outing. To cut the long story short, what happened is that during promos I emailed the coordinator asking if I could send in our class' details after our promos which is the next week. 

Okay. I think you won't be able to see. But he/she (what sex is Kewei?? i have no idea) said "All right. No worries". Then when I did send him/her the details, he/she said that all vacancies have been filled. I think this Kewei is a new volunteer coordinator because the last time I volunteer, I've never heard of this Kewei. He/she has much to learn. OH WELL. Once again, friends, I'm really sorry.

Next,

I have emailed several organisations such as National Parks Board (reforestation), ACRES (the wildlife rescue centre) and ICCS (international coastal clean up singapore). I have considered Hospitals and even IMH but these require a period of commitment and you have to keep going back perhaps once a month to check up on your new friends. So that's not really feasible considering that most of you probably won't want to make the trip so many times plus our other time-consuming commitments like CCAs will not allow us to. If you guys have any requests, just shoot away! Right now I don't really know what you guys wanna do for CIP (other than SPCA! but there's no more vacancies) so I'm just choosing the more interesting ones. Please take into account if there's a period of commitment or if it's a one-time thing yeah.

Or now that promos are OVER, we could start planning our Official Class Outing!

Here are some suggestions:

- cycling/rollerblading 

- zoo (waste $$$$)

- good food marathon

- movie marathon

- beach games @ Sentosa

- bbq

- paintball 

- kayaking

- treetop trail walk (be careful of falling branches)

- ice-skating (suggested by elf which is delph)

Okay guys, start spamming the tagboard!!

AND TO THE PW PPL, 

ALL THE BEST FOR OP!!!!

(guys cut your hair ah)

I'll bring pompom to cheer you guys on!! (just kidding, they'll kick me out of the room la!)

PEOPLE OF 116 LISTEN UP YA'LL.

THE BIG P IS HERE.

U KNOW.that 6 letter word.
that....word.

yes.

P-R-O-M-O-S.
*screams*
*panics*
*faints*

Our first paper is this coming Monday, and yeap, that ain that far awayy.

15th September 2008
H1 General Paper One 0800hr to 0930hr
H1 General Paper Two 1000hr to 1130hr

IF U HAVEN'T ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE PROMO TIMETABLE AND HIGHLIGHTED THE DATES, u've got to be kidding me,seriously.

as of today, september 10th 2008, we have exactly

4 days to GP
26 days to mother tongue and econs(h1 and h2) paper
27 days to maths and lit(h1 and h2) paper
28 days to chem paper one and two, and geog(h2) and history(h2) paper
29 days to biology papers
32 days to chem paper 3
33 days to h1 - geog,history,physics papers

1 week = 7 days
that's about slightly more than 3 weeks, less than a month.

whoa.

*little things we can do as a class*
1. greet each other with a piece of subject information
(eg. heyy tammy mak, DNA stand for deoxyribonucleoacid)
2. start pop quizing each other every spare time we get
(eg. jessica, name me all the elements of the periodic table)
3. start having an open discussion on a topic of a subject,without referring to lecture notes
(eg. Basyir : Market failure is whenn...
Siu Ngee: ..the market fails)
4. start creating songs or raps with the content that we have
(eg. *i really can't think of any at this point*)
5. BOMBARD all your teachers with questions,and i don't care if it sounds silly or not, JUST ASK.
6. Grab every available slots in every teacher's timetable for effective consultations.
(like what tam and i did this afternoon to ms lim...we almost took her meeting slot, but please don't go to that extent).

i hope that enlightened ya'll.
alrite 116,

LET'S DO THIS.

*tam,jess,siu,bas -hope ya'll don't mind that i used your names.nothing intended.but u can try killing me in school if u like)

Success!

This is what we've all been waiting for!


Teachers' Day Celebration is finally over! Here's a breakdown of what exactly happened.

0700 - I reheated Mr Wong's Kong Ba Bao using my microwave.

0810 -  Mr Loh's GP lecture. Had the Mr. Cool book passed around and making sure that everyone writes a message in it. 

0900 - Mr Loh receives the present!

Mr Loh looking happy.

0905 - The grueling struggle to get the ribbon onto Yang Feng.

Happy Yang Feng (yeah right) ((yang feng! don't hate me!!))

Tada! All ready for Ms Lim.

0915 - While waiting for Ms Lim, we took a few pictures to kill time.

Pris with our Hero of the Day!

(i had to put this picture. Yang Feng's look is priceless and too alluring)

0920 - Ms Lim receives her present!

After that is just some performances by some groups and half-of-the-class outing. 

Yippee.

Note to all by Chemistry Rep Pris:

Chemistry practical tmrw is changed to tutorial. 

Bring Reaction Kinetics.

Holiday Classes

This is a reminder to all that there is Chemistry lesson for Group B and C this saturday. Lessons are pushed forward by an hour, don't forget that! 

So Group B shall report at 8 AM and Group C, 12 NN. 

Also, I've texted Ms Lim and according to her, she's on course so the extra biology lesson will be on Tuesday after school. So guys, NO BIOLOGY CLASSES ON SATURDAY alrights! 

All these information are accurate as of the date of this entry. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TAMMY MACARONI!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

116!
today is tammy's birthday!

kids...AHHH..don't bother

HAVE AN AWESOME FULFILLING AND SMASHING BIRTHDAY EVER TAMMY!

With love,

Biology Mindmap

For those who woke up late today and missed the copying section of Miss Lim's lecture, attached below is the cell signaling mind map I've copied.

You may find it quite blur so if you want the original doc, ask me to send it to you! Yang Feng has a copy too. So you can ask him for it if you see him online. 

That's all for now, folks!

Updates

Okay guys, I'm sorry I have not posted up the pictures and video taken on Teachers' Day. It takes a terribly long time to upload the video and my com will just get stuck somewhere and then I'll get pissed and then I'll shut the com down and then bla bla bla (the list goes on). So for now I shall just update this blog on the classes we have in this wonderful September cough*fake*cough holiday. 

Date Subject  Venue  Time

Tuesday 02/09/2008 Biology  LT 1 0900 - 1100h

Wednesday 03/09/2008 Chemistry J1-03* 0900 - 1100h (Group B only)

Wednesday 03/09/2008  Chemistry  J1-03* 1000 - 1200h (Group C only)

* Tentative venue as confirmed by Mr Wong at 2010h on 02/09/2008

Alrights. That's all I know for now.  Biology will be lecture style, most probably on Cell Signaling. 

Next, I shall just post the topics we need to study for Promos, just in case you lost that flimsy piece of paper that you wrote on or your diary got drenched in rainwater (touch wood) and you can't see what you wrote or just for double-checking, whichever applies to you.

Biology 

1. Cell Structure and Function

2. Biological Molecules

3. Enzymes

4. Cell and Nuclear Division (+ cancer)

5. DNA and Genomics (+ gene mutation)

6. Homeostasis

7. Hormonal Control and Coordination

8. Nervous Control and Coordination

Chemistry

Paper 1 - All others which I assume to be

Atoms, Molecules and Stoichiometry

Redox Reactions

Atomic Structure

Paper 2 -  Chemical Bonding

Gases

Ionic Equilibrium

Periodicity

Group II

Paper 3 - Reaction Kinetics

Chemical Equilibrium

Periodicity

Mathematics

1. Summation of Series (+ binomial series, etc etc)

2. Arithmetic and Geometric Series

3. Functions

4. Graphing Techniques

5. Inequalities

6. Differentiation (+ applications and all)

7. Maclaurin's Series

8. Integration 

Mathematics is TBC but this is the list of topics we have learnt so far.

This is IT, 116. Let's rock promos (in Suady's words) and all promote to 216! If you think the list is not accurate enough, just sign in and change it! Or tell me and I'll change it for you. For your H1 subjects, I'll try to keep everyone updated so that we do not label ourselves H1-ist. You know, like racist. So to discriminate H1 is like, being a H1-ist.
