School's been awesome, honestly.
My teachers are all great, or at least I haven't met any nasty ones teaching me.
Or rather, their nasty sides haven't shown, haha!
I don't have any favourite teacher, as I said they're all good, but I think Mrs Koh our form teacher is really nice((:
And OH my english teacher Mrs Tan spells A-W-E-S-O-M-E. She's cool and she has a great dress sense, according to me. (Okay, at least her clothes match.)
OH and Ms Hoo (who?? xD) is really really funny. But I don't agree that she's the least intimidating teacher I'll ever meet in my entire academic career. I think I've met others who've been less intimidating. But she's really nice! And believe it or not, I like math loads this year. So challenging, so fun. HAH. And, I'm gonna like it more than I like science if the chem teacher doesn't improve her score of how interesting she is on a scale of 1 to 10. Okay, joking! She's not that bad. She's quite nice, not THAT boring. I bet God knew which subjects to give me interesting teachers for. MATH, and CHINESE. Okay chinese teacher not THAT interesting but tons better than last year!
Ms Ong Su Juin is really quiet. But I doubt she is, as Ms Sharon Ong's friend. She's either really talkative (like ms ong, making them click,) or REALLY quiet and listen-ish, listening to everything Ms Ong (Sharon) has to say! HAHA. Unline poles attract, huh? xD June and I concluded this, heh.
Oh, I shall talk about Laura's new loves for 2008.
Math, and PE!
PE first. This year, we're doing basketball, badminton and rock climbing!
Ahh all so cool! So exciting!
We're doing basketball now. We play a lot and we don't need to run rounds. COOL xD
I hate running stuff like 3 rounds.
It's the time when you get all huffed up but you haven't stabilised. Like if you run 2.4, by the end of it you're not THAT tired, esp if you run continuously because the running motion is very regular! 3 rounds is the WORST.
Anyway, I love basketball. Somehow, I became slightly more athletic during the holidays. HAH. But I'm a terrible defender. I can only attack, hah. Basketball is awesome.....
COMPARED TO NETBALL WITH ALL THE STUPID 1/3 COURT RULES o__O
Badminton!
Haha, we learnt it in NYPS. I couldn't serve at all (is that how serve is spelt?)
I would hold the shuttlecock, drop it, and hit air.
HAH.
How laughable.
Amazingly, last Sunday my parents brought me out for 3 hours solely with the intention to teach me badminton. The coolest thing- it wasn't as hard as I thought it was. HEH.
I CAN SERVE! YAY!
Lol, that was dramatic. But badminton is cool!
Okay well I'm definitely nothing more than an enthusiastic badminton learner at this point in time. I'm not even a novice. I'm a second timer, hah.
Rock climbing is even cooler. But, I get a little worried at the thought that my life would be at the hands of some one just as old as me- my classmate. Yes, we are going to belay each other. *shrieks*
HAHA.
But still, PE is cool.
MATH IS HOT.
MATH IS SEXY.
Okay maybe not the latter. It was a figure of speech.
But gosh.
Haha.
I didn't get into A math but I asked Ms Hoo if I could join and she said okay haha so that's how I ended up in A math! Goodness, it's super ultra chao chao chao fun!
We finished 16 pages of math worksheets in the past 2 lessons. Another 8 due for the next lesson. I mean, she doesn't set us deadlines but she kinda... Expects us to do it. Haha.
Big change from last year. I didn't touch my math homework- Mrs Sia didn't care o__O
You can go ask Zunzun xD
I love A math! Believe it or not, it has totally 180 degrees changed my view on math.
*screams*
Haha.
And the cool thing is, my dad's math isn't as bad as I thought it was.
Okay I never thought it was bad, but I didn't know it was THAT good.
We were told to go home and read up on permutation and combination, pascale's triangle and binomial expansion (and their relatedness.) And I tried my dad.
Good choice, haha.
He wrote me 4 pages of notes (which I thought were... all wrong, or at least half wrong.)
Because I couldn't imagine anyone remembering a pile of useless formulas that he learnt more than 30 years ago.
BUT, I checked my notes with Clarisse Chu's printed internet notes.
The formulas were the SAME.
I was STUNNED.
ohmytian since when did I have a genius in my family.
(okay fine I vaguely remember that more than 10 years ago he did teach A level tuition but... that was more than 10 years ago, still..)
My goodness. How dare my mum say she's smarter than my dad.
Hahaha!
xD
Sigh, maybe that's where my genes came from, which is why I'm not performing very well.
HAH.
Okay, better not let my mum see that.
I was joking.
LAH!
Haha.
I wanted to say 'I was joking lah!'.
But it looked so Singlish but I still wanted to use singlish to emphasize my point!
HAHA.
That's why sometimes I do stupid things like that.
Anyway, my dad just taught me some more math.
Gosh, I'm gonna be thinking about n, c, r, factorials and n(n-1)(n-2) thingums all night to prove that (r+1) = n! / r! (n-r)! Something like that, the ncr thing, if my memory hasn't failed me yet.
And I have quite some homework and piano and voice to practice, by the way...
And I shouldn't be spending time on math since spending time on math will only pull my GPA down, because it's my best subject and the GPA won't go up. So studying math only means less time for other subjects which = GPA drops.
That was last year's logic, which is a reason for not doing math homework, hee.
And which partially contributed to my algebra test downfall.
Anyway, should go sleep now, bye!
hold me now at 8:02 PM
