07S7E - THE class

Friday, 27 April 2007

Hi.....

why is it that only shu liang seems high these days...

honestly, our class is very sien... everyone is very busy, and esp term 2, where everyone gets spammed by competitions... so.. good luck to all those involved!! and not to mention the upcoming tests... chem on 2nd, bio on 7th. my bio notes on cell structure part I are with kai xian now... those who are lazy to read the 50 page notes can get the 16 page version from him and photocopy... please treat them with care.. took me 3 days to make them.. lol

actually, for bio i seriously think the best way to study is to make ur own notes, and i mean notes, not plain copying. try to summarise the notes as much as possible, and in the meantime try to fully understand them. then... after some time, the stuff that you are familiar enough can be left out, so your notes get lesser and lesser over time, and this greatly reduces the effort required if u need to study that topic again..

honestly speaking, i am very happy for those who decided to make their own notes instead of using mine. as the old saying goes... give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish and he can feed himself forever. jiayou for your efforts!! and don't just make notes for the sake of tests or exams, make them a part of your learning!! and i also realised, not everyone has the same learning style, so by making your own notes you can benefit fully from them. keep up the good work!! =)

but seriously, dont be afraid to ask questions, especially if u really dont understand something. better correct the mistake now than to learn the wrong things. and seriously, dont be afraid to hold me back if u need help.... im more than happy to help out... dont force urself to study alone if u really cant understand or have problems understanding....

i want to apologize to some people in our class.... especially if i have daoed u these days... sometimes im just tired and stressed, and i dont mean any offense at all...

sianz... i guess everyone's schedule is being fully occupied by now... so many of us end school at sunset, and by the time we get home its dark. then at night still need to study, do vbc, study, study, study, and these days i end so late i have no dinner to eat in boarding school (doesnt really matter, since the food sucks), so im surviving on instant noodles for dinner.

im being so random~... this is the 4th consecutive day of 1am sleep -> 6am wake up. i seriously wonder how to remember all the biological processes and intermediates. i just hate memorising without knowing the concept behind, and its just plain funny why do u have to turn the glucose into so many funny stuff before u can make atp. and worse still.... its just the transfer of phosphate groups from one substance to another, and this makes glucose seem like an intermediate itself. photosynthesis is no different. PS II -> plastoquinone -> cytochrome complex -> plastocyanin -> PS I -> ferredoxin.

actually these just makes me marvel at life itself. although they seem to be just molecules arranged in an orderly fashion, the efficiency of the system is just plain amazing. every molecule is fully utilised, such that no energy is wasted. and why do molecules seek to reproduce themselves in a similar fashion, via mitosis, meiosis, or reproduction. is there something to this mystery? lol.. should leave this to the KI people.

really sad for kai xian... the feeling of playing against an ex-teammate is quite hard to swallow. especially if they run away with the trainings. that is plain horrible.. knowing how your entire team plays, and they already have the 知彼知己 advantage. still...... treat this as a learning opportunity.... theres 1 more year left. jiayou and train hard!! dont give up!! transform your weaknesses into your strengths, and use this as a source of motivation. aim high, and especially since u are at a disadvantaged position, all the more put in your fullest effort!! do us proud next year!! HWACHONG JIAYOU!! believe in yourself, and your team, and believe that you all can do it as a team!!

congrats to helen and kelvin and everyone from MAD for gold with hons!! one of my friends said that it was so good that he cried. personally i have only cried to movies or music, seldom books since i dont read fiction, but this is the first time i hear someone who can cry to a dance. thats simply amazing!!!

mrs cheng is still on mc..... get well soon!!! we all miss bio lessons. and monday was like 3 hours of break followed by 4 hours of lessons.... haiz.. wednesdays prac was just like exam conditions...

i really hope our class can integrate well with each other.... some people are just left out. just because some people are more introverted that others doesnt mean that we shouldnt take the initiative to make them feel appreciated. and in the process... the sad fact is that our life is still largely result oriented, and especially for some people who are slow learners... plus the rather inefficient way of lecturing... so the result is endless time spent on self studying. some people place more value on studies than others, but it doesnt really matter. what really matters is the value of the person itself, not what the person does.

in fact, i dont remember us having a photo with all 24 people inside it.

and not one outing with all 24 ppl.

it may seem hard, but these 2 years (or 1 year 8 months 1 week left) shouldnt just be wasted like that. treasure all the time you have. it is time well spent that buys happiness, not money (wrote that for gp.. lols).

Last but not least.... Happy Birthday Zhi Guang!!!

Cheers, JJ
