I am such a newb. Sigh.
I got actually got an ‘A’ for my Combined Humanities! J The awesome part about this is the present my teacher gave me.
A free movie coupon to watch movies at the Golden Village!
How cool is that?! I was ecstatic to get the ticket. Well Wei Cong*he gave me an iPod! because he got himself an iPod touch* got the ticket too. He really did put in a lot of effort I think. After all, I do not think that a person coming from China is able to cope as well in studies as him. Boy, you deserved it! J
Classes were mundane today. During Chemistry, Mr Chan - the teacher who walks with his mouth open- shuffled our seats. I ended up sitting with Shu Yan, my fellow Malaysian J. He was the one that got the highest score for Physics. Ah, patriotism! Anyway, this time we learned about the periodic table. I didn’t listen to his speech nor did Shu Yan and Wei Cong. Haha! Rebellious as we may be, we did all the work he gave us which was drawing the valence electrons for the first 20 elements in the periodic table. In the end I think my atoms looked like chocolate cookies!
Drama unfolded during Elementary Mathematics class. We unleashed the beast in our teacher, Ms Portia. Due to some ‘good’ students *lets not reveal their name*, she hurled a serious tantrum at us. Those who did not bring their worksheets, assignments and textbook were ordered to stand at the back of the class. They were fined $2 for each stuff that they didn’t bring. Sigh, I wonder why all the teacher has the urge to fine the students. As a Malaysian, I feel that the amount of fine they impose on us was very hefty. You can’t blame me. Everything here cost double/ 2.4 of Malaysian Ringgit. Back to the drama, she then upturned the student’s table *the she-hulk* and threw all their papers and folders on the floors. I looked around the class, and I was slightly amused despite the intensity in the atmosphere. Most of the students sitting at their seats were international students, like me. J Call us good students!
Physics was hard for me today. I got confused over the new topic : Current of Electricity. I somehow screwed all the formulas and struggled through the questions. Sigh, during study time, I must revise!
I had just got back from school. Ly-en won’t come back until around 5 o’clock. Cannot eat pasta with her. L
Ah well, I’ll take a bath now. Till the next post!
Countdown: 4 more days!
