okok, it's not as bad as it is. Hmm, most of us are aware that the MOE is again changing some already-known-to-all news. They first said that the 1st 3 months would be scrapped and next year j1s will start school in mar instead. But BUt, now, they decided that it's not feasible and will continue with the 1st 3 months system. They are hoping to make some changes to the O levels (most probably shifting it forward) so that the results are out and school can function in january. So that'd probably need a few years, therefore prelims are still important until further notice is given.
You must be wondering.. why the heck would that affect me, since i'm already in j1. haha, big impact man. My school was supposedly starting in late jan whereby my promos would be held next year. And now, since there are 1st 3 mths, my promos are in oct this year. From late jan to early oct! see the impact?!!? that's y I feel cheated..lol. gave us lse hopes.. thinking that i can slack my j1 year, thus mug during the hols.
Alright, I got to know my classes today.. Eh, I'm still in 1ahr, which is a good thing. But there are only about 8 old ahr-ers, 4 moving up from aa1 and the rest are 2nd intakers. Maybe there would be a drift. i don't know. Hope they are great people, cos I need to spend 2 years with them. And I'm pretty sure they are smart asses. the 2nd intakers will probably have an l1r5 of below 9. So that means my class will turn really smart. ok, that will bring about pressure, then stress. Well, at least my good frens in class are staying. And my dear friend, veli, didn't realize that there's such a thing as AO Math, so she happily chose the AO math combi when she had a 1 for both maths. I think mrs creffield was all ready to listen to her appeal (back to ahr) cos she was like "so you are the girl. Yeah, sure, I'll put you back to ah" I have never seen such a blur girl man.. HAHA.. this lesson is classic. ;)
I read sth worth reflecting..
7 wonders of the worldA group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World."
Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help. "
The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are:
1. To See
2. To Hear
3. To Touch
4. To Taste
5. To Feel
6. To Laugh
7. And to Love."
A gentle reminder -- that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man. YUP (:
