2009 Academic Chapter Summary

The old saying goes: "Time and tide waits no man." I couldn't agree more. Time ticks by no matter what happen on Earth, no matter what we're doing & no matter who/where. It'll just slips by in vain if we don't manage it properly (I do mean PROPERLY).

Tick-tock-tick-tock... tong...... It's end of 2009 school term. For most "normal" school kids, it'll be an annual sleep-eat-play vacation, as for me, a F6 teen (My last year as teen), this holiday will be a pay back time for study. A time to buck up & jack up what I've left out & procastinated. This holiday is meant to mend the broken foundation (not sure if there's one) & cast away the boulevard of irrational dreams.

This time I must shape up or else I'll be shipping out. With barely a subject I get pass an optimum marks to me, this time I passed the exam with 1 colour (re of course). Teachers're disappointed so are my parents & I'm despair (esp. my beloved subj. are in jeopardy). I don't know the exact reason how my result & I become like this but laziness & procastination are definately the prime suspect. It's time for change & it'll be drastic & immediate (action speaks louder than words).

Watching the F5 sitting for SPM, I recall of my days, this time last year & the time after that. On the other side of the wall, watching the F6ers sitting for STPM, I foresee of myself this time next year & the 1 year of preparation before the major exam. To the F5 & F6ers sitting the exams, you've walked a milestone for this, there's just a step left. Finish the journey well. Good Luck & All The Best! May you Shine.

Before non-academic matters come in, I would like to put up the result for my Chemistry Exp. 19. (Purpose: To find the RF value of food dye.) I've to say, when it comes to practical, I'm very interested & passioned & with a stroke of luck, I've a beautiful result.

With holiday temptation just around the corner & especially teachers out for invigilation, my class has became a carefree land. People chit-chating, figgiting, sleeping, vegetating, playing (chess & PC) & etc. Generally, it's pre-holiday for us (No pictures allowed under privacy acts). Mr. Praga made his presence before school term ends & stunt us with his impressive lecture & simplified teaching of Chemistry while injecting a bit of fear into our blood before holiday.

My mood kinda blossom like cherry & thank a lot to my friends & family for compromising, give & take. Debate competition has just past & I'm happy to be able to introduce this to my friends & see them win (though there's a drop of envy). It's a good thing. Glad they like it at last. Lap Bann & my mouth dropped when we saw the crowd attracted to 2012 on the 2nd day of screening at TSquare (Unbelievable!). It's a hit. Then we ended up in MoL. Anyway, we're going next Friday, hopefully we get a ticket each.

Last but not least, LIMA is on the 5th Dec 2009. Final roll-call. Details can be found in my previous blogpost somewhere 2-3 months ago. The last words are kinda random. A photo of a Ferrari I took that resembles Transformers' character. Guess.

(Photo will be uploaded soon. Sorry for the inconvinence.)

Weather Change

Meteorologists forecast that weather will continue to deteriorate over the next few month. Flood level rising to 9.88m beyond the 9.10m. I'm feared. 2012 has predicted several incidents such as the tsunami, 9/11, war, etc. Could it be global warming or/& more to it? Pity the fishermen. Bak kata pepatah, berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu memikul.

Chemistry experiments were exciting. Chromatography will be even more interesting & exciting. Can't wait. Debate workshop is tomorrow & competition is on Wed & Thurs. No-one seem interested except me alone.

The Good
My mood improved. It's clear though cloudy sometimes but overall I award myself with 70%.
Last Sunday evening, I saw a A320 soared over me (about 900m above ground level) & followed by another (higher up). All deviate from usual approach path because storm cells building up nearby. The interesting part was I finally get to see "bowling alley". 2 giant storm cells closing each other (though one is further than the other but will eventually emerge) forming a U-shape in the middle. Spectacular, Outstanding.
Chemistry experiments were successful & more to come.
2012 & holidays are just around the corner.
October 2010, about 100 astronauts from 34 country will hold a conference in M'sia.

So many thoughts to fill up. Everything mixed up like yogurt. Talking about yogurt, a grab-and-go yogurt restaurant has opened at Bdr. Sunway. Tutti Frutti! Originated from California. It has up to 18 flavours & more self-improvise ingredients like berries, flakes. Visit! Awesome! Pour my feelings some other time.

2 Weeks More...

Holidays are just around the corner, it sounds a bit encouraging.

2012 is just around 1 week, it sounds very encouraging & exciting.

Anyway, the Bio class students are doing the practical curriculum which only mean 2 things: Dissect (what else?!) OR Digest (knowledge of Bio which I've difficulty doing so much). Tutorials are at an end for this term. Next year we'll have a couple of good old teachers taking over like Mr. Praga, a MUET teacher (Pn. Low & Pn. Gan staying) & a whole lots of new system (really new!) implemented so I guess that is what it's like to be a white mouse. Despite with the complaints, I kinda support the programme to some extend but I've not yet adapt it & found a few of flaws.

Well, next year our curriculum will be extended to 40min & co-curriculum will be our unofficial P.E. (PJ) period. Our 1st "PJ Period" was in rain in spite of the rain. I guess we just can't resist the temptation that hid in us for months huh. I've done 2 Chem & a Physics experiments in 1 week & I'm satisfied with my "un-pro" pro ways of conducting Chem experiments like mad Chemist but it works! Teacher is better in preparing std. solution but I'm not bad (eh lei).

Here is a picture I would like my taste buds on.

"Aiyoo... What is it? Have to stay back to 1600 somemore!" That was what most said.
"Make sure everyone present & be in the Physics lab by 1400. Clancy have to starve a little while." That was what Mrs. Chan said.
"Not bad. It's cool. Mech.E is something I of my interest. We've to go for tutorial anyway, so not much difference." That was what I said.

It turned out to be COoL.

(Will continue soon...)

Green for Go!

Unmanned Ares 1-X rocket of length 100m completed a 2 min test flight from a modified platform at Kennedy Space Centre, Florida with a scheduled ditching into the sea. Kennedy Space Centre director said that the test was a success & sees a bright future for it.
