chew on it and study hard!

Prepared for the last lap?

Dear gentlemen,

We are down to the last few weeks of your O level preperation...

I reviewed your Physics grades for prelim 3 and I do have mixed feelings about it.

I am happy that your class has indeed done well for most subjects. For Physics I cannot ask for any more since we have 93% distinctions.

(The last 2 of you in the class can still catch up as I know you can make it.)

Warning that those of you below 85 could still drop.
My worse drop in 2008 was someone who scored A1 for 2008 prelim 3 (75%) and dropped to B3 in the O Levels!!!

My best improvement in 2008 was a B4 in 2008 prelim 3 to A1 in the O levels. (Think about it, one of the scholars in 4-3 was always doing quite ok for physics but dropped to the bottom because he got complacent.)

Do NOT be complacent!!!! You must be careful.

Do not burn out!!! I must warn you to watch your diet and stress level

Photos...

Hey guys..if you have any photos, please send them to me or Johnervan first...both of us will collate everything then pass to Mr Tan...like that more efficient...we dont want to bog down Mr Tan and Mr Yong with dribs and drabs of photos from each of us...it will give them a helluva time to collate and organise. So pass your photos to us first then we burn in CD...

xuan ming, zhi wei, yeung kai, elgyn, etc...please send the photos...i guess you guys might have some good photos

(xuan ming...MUST send Hong Yi's photos ah...they are of high calibre and high value.... :)

T4W2 Weekend

1. Higher Chinese Remedial tomorrow to go through the Prelim 3 Paper 2. It's at the auditorium from 8am to 10am.

2. English Essay on the one-word topics. See my earlier post. Due Monday.

3. English comprehension that Mrs Tang distributed today. Please also do the November 2002 Summary (refer to your ten year series that most of you should have). Both due Monday Morning.

4. Physics Victoria School 2009 Prelim Paper, Due on Monday. (Mr Yong said he would upload the answers though. I suppose its for MCQ. He may want to see and mark our paper 2 answers.)

5. If you have photos of classmates at any event, please burn them onto a CD and submit a copy to Mr Tan or Mr Yong as soon as possible. It's for the purposes of the Graduation Assembly which is on 16th October. Please submit the highest possible resolution copy if possible, preferably ones taken using full-fledged digital cameras.

6. If you concerns about Biology Paper 2 Essays, please see Ms Saras on Monday morning.

7. Monday's script-checking is as follows:

First 2 periods, English Literature Elective (Or the respective Electives). Literature is in one of the special rooms. For the other electives, refer to the schedule at back of the school hall.

Next 2 periods, Pure. Pure History in Auditorium, Pure Geography in Hall. Not sure about the rest.

After recess, Mathematics lesson.

Last period, English summary. (Hmm.. what about compo?)

Prelim 3 Results

Hey people...i know that some of u dont want to talk about the prelim 3 results...but just to hold some excitement...i know the results of the top few guys for chem prelim 3 yea.... cos i stayed back 2day to talk to some teachers and saw Mr Tan post up the chem hall of fame....

i can only remember a couple of names, but chances are if i remember your name, you are definitely on that list, and if you are not, well, chances are lower...

Sheng Mao 93 (i think...but first digit is 9 definitely)
KUA CHOON SEARN 89
Leong Jia Wei 86
Joshua Koh 85
Liu Jiada 85

Yea...i think that's it from our class...by the way, sheng mao is not top...he is third or fourth on the list. The list stops at 85, so i guess the majority of us fall in the 75-85 range. Mr Tan also told us repeatedly to "dont worry be happy".

When asked what he meant, he said "let's just say you and I will be happy about the results"...

Yea so that should lift up our moods, especially for those guys who appear on the list above.

So hold your breaths as we continue the results release....P.S. for those ignorant guys, our E Maths, everyone but FOUR in our class got 85 and above---A1. For two of the four that didnt get A1, according to Mrs Tan, they are dam suay...cos they both got 84

hmmm....for me, i think that some subjects like biology...the idea the an A1 is no longer that exclusive and elusive cos more than half the class got an A1....talk about principles of economics.....no i am not being random,. but one principle of economics (which u will learn next year in JC) is the larger the supply, the lwoer the cost....the larger the number of A1s, the less exclusive it is..you get my point

but anyway, for those who didnt get the A1 or A2 or results as desired, do not give up....put in all the effort you can ever get remember..."i dont mean to be mr heng", but it is true that you can make the change this round....

For those who are trying to achieve better results but just seem to always fall behind, dont' you find it is time to make the change?

Life is about choices. Make the right choice this last 30 days.

Post Prelim 3

1. HCL Results have been posted outside the HOD room.

2. English results out on sharepoint. Read Mrs Tang's comments.

3. Physics results have been tabulated but not released. Based on what Mr Yong says, our results are very promising and good, but do not get complacent.

4. According to Ms Saras, Bio results will be pasted outside Staff Room 3 tomorrow morning.

5. English Essay One Word Topics.

Grad Night Hotel

Hi guys...

did some research about our grad night locations and aroiund that area. I realised that the Swissotel rooms are almost fully booked and they are priced at a crazily expensive price of $220 and above for twin sharing. So my advice? We dont go there if we want to stay.

i suggest that we go the nearby (5-10 min walk) Robertson Quay hotel that is eons much cheaper and the quality...well...its one star less than Swissotel, but you pay less than half the price. The promotional rate is SGD$100++ for two people per night, inclusive of breakfast....sounds like a good offer

So that means you basically pay SGD$59 per person to stay for a night...much more worth it. I suggest that we book connecting rooms so that we can like get together and party out after grad night....noto nly cost effective but also realistic...by the way, i know some very good bars and pubs there.....

yea so discuss and pair up with your friend and let me know...i think group booking got discount...the more rooms we book, the better grounds we have for negotiations. i have relative working with the hotel, so i guess we can eke out some discounts....

hey people!

please check Sharepoint on final tips on how to write a good Expository - using Qin En's essay as an example.

as for people (such as myself) who prefer fully honing our imaginative skills and writing Narratives, open your mind, sharpen your senses, and feel...

okay all the best for tomorow.

Toodles!

Elgyn.
