Finally

1. Long time no blog
You seeeeeeeee, the price of education is high. :/

2. This draft has been around for about 4 months and not yet published.

I've been very busy in the past few weeks, or say, one month. I haven't been blogging since 3 March instead!


Basically, school work (academically) is really piling up and speeding up so much so that everyone comes to College half dead. Really, half dead. Many deadlines were given and I finally learnt how does it feel to rush to meet the deadline, cross the deadline, or be just on the dot. Of course, the feeling of the third one is the best. Haha.


So, in a short 2 months in NYJC, let's see what we've covered.


H2 Physics: 3 chapters

H2 Chem: 4th chapter ongoing

H2 Maths: 5 chapters

H2 Econs: 3rd chapter ongoing

H1 CL: 3 chapters

H1 PW: Finished one PI

H1 GP: The least intensive one, but with a not-so-patient teacher


Basically, all I could think about everyday is how to equate the net torque of quantity demanded for sodium chloride to the sum to infinity of the series.


Alright, and of course there was more than this.


Becoming an elect of the Student Council hasn't been very easy, I admit. Although I think it was supposed to be quite easy for me it turned out not to be so. Firstly, there was military style training pre-camp and during Council Camp in March holidays (20th-22nd March). Alright, for me that part was easy but we were really mentally stretched during camp. And it turned out at the end of camp we haven't done a single homework, lost our voices, even got fatigued and for me I fell slightly sick, but more importantly, we forged good relationships and camaradaie which will be very much useful in our Council journey. Then when school reopens we were having campaign and voting. I was the second to put a a poster at 6pm on Thursday 26/03. But I think my skills weren't very good in this area. Hmm. My posters flew all over the place.

-End of draft-

2. More College life
The education system has not been very nice to us. How about this. An average of 9 to 10 chapters per subject in like just, 18 weeks. And they're large chapters. Not those small small one with just a few pointers.

PW too. Haha I personally feel that I'm rather good and efficient in PW :D But it is taxing, as everyone understands. 4am nights are not favourable, but necessary, seriously.

It's all time management.

3. Mid Year Exams 2009
I must say I did rather decently, but I'm not happy!
Despite a BCDE/BD grades (after moderation) and 58 ranking points, I feel that I still could have done better, in everything. Try harder for Promos!

4. From NYJCian to Councillor.
Council Camp was rather fruitful, it was a different kind of regimented camp. Followed by nomination and without much difficulty I got elected, but fought rather hard for publicity.

After much hard work as elects, we're finally invested. As a Councillor, duites and responsibilities await, I know. And and, LEADERSHIP.

There an infinite number of things to say about, it's pointless trying to post everything.

5. Ultra Commitment
You see, I'm someone with a 1001 degree commitment levels.
(i) 4H2 Student
(ii) PW Group Leader
(iii) Student Councillor
(iv) Cadet Officer
(v) Peer Tutor
(vi) Coordinating 4H class outing
(vii) And many networks to maintain
