The class was very noisy just
now because there wasn't any teacher,
but now everyone suddenly turned quiet.
That is because the fiercest teacher in the school had entered the class.
Her face is as fierce as a lion
which will bite anyone's head off if offended...
And if you wanna know more.... follow the lesson.
Students: Good morning, teacher.
Teacher : (shouting) Why is it only good morning? What about afternoon and night?
Students: Good morning, afternoon and night teacher!
Teacher : That is unacceptable! It is too long.
Just wish me best regards for my whole day!
That is much better as it is easier and full of meaning.
And that greeting can also be used for all times.
Students:Best regards teacher!
Teacher : That's better, sit down! Listen.
Today I,m going to test you all on words that have the opposite meaning. When I say a sentence or word, all of you must answer quickly the opposite meaning to the words, understand?Students: Understood teacher!
Teacher : I do not want any disturbance!
Students: (silence)
Teacher : Clever!
Students: Stupid!
Teacher :High!
Students: Low!
Teacher :Popular!
Students: Calafare!
Teacher : Wrong!
Students: Correct!
Teacher : Stupid!
Students: Clever!
Teacher : No!
Students: Yes!
Teacher : Oh God!
Students: Oh Slave!
Teacher : Listen to this!
Students: Listen to that!
Teacher : Quiet!
Students: Noisy!
Teacher : That's not a question, stupid!
Students: This is an answer, clever!
Teacher : I'm dead!
Students: We're alive!
Teacher : I'm lazy to teach!
Students: We are hardworking to learn!
Teacher : Enough! Enough!
Students: More! More!
Teacher : Stop! Stop!
Students: Start! Start!
Teacher : Why are you people so stupid?!
Students:Because i am someone clever!
Teacher : Lack manners!
Students: Taught enough!
Teacher : O.K. Lesson has ended!
Students: K.O. Lesson has not started!
Teacher: Enough,stupid!
Students: Not yet, clever!
Teacher : Stand up!
Students: Sit down!
Teacher : I said CALAFARE was wrong!
Students: We said POPULAR was correct!
Teacher:You people are dumb!
Students: We are gifted!
Teacher : All of you must stay back this afternoon!
Students: Released tonight!
Teacher : (Kept quiet, gathered her books and went out)

it is split into many if i m not wrong.
mr.ong mention about de-stress today. i saw make 2 jokes today. hopefully, it can make all of you happy. sometimes, it is kind of lame and you might have heard it somewhere. so if tt's the chance, plz forgive me.
All in a day's work
This is what happens. There was this particular driver who is new to this company. He was asked to drive for a particular bus service. This is what he did during his first day of work. He got onto the bus and picked up his first few passengers. Shortly after he left the interchange, he turned back to talk to the 30 passengers on board. He asked, " How do you get to the other interchange?" Luckily, a woman on board helped him throughout the journey and he got to the other interchange without going the wrong way.
After that, the management got to know about this driver about how he performed on the first day. The management was discussing whether to sack the driver. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a staff shouted and said, " That is no need to sack him. Now he knows the way to the other interchange!"
Life's like that
Last Sunday, my dad bought a new stand fan as the one in my storeroom had spoilt. I was busy doing other things inside my room. When i heard about the new stand fan, I asked my brother what is the price of it. In my room, I could hear my dad say, " $299." The first thing in my mind is "so expensive". However, before I could confirm the correct price with my dad, he said, " Add a full-stop somewhere in between the numbers, son!"

lol
since wj come here to prove girls are evil
then i am going to prove that guys are more evil
Boys=(girls)(sex)($$^2)
As we all know,
girls = evil
sex = evil
$$^2 = evil
Therefore,
Boys=(evil)(evil)(evil)
=(evil)^3
=) so guys are afterall more evil
(although girls are more vicious XP)
Until nxt time

Hi all!!! Something interesting to share. Some of you may have seen this before but i think not all had. Btw, no offence to all the girls.
--- I am going to prove mathematically, that girls are evil---
As we all know girls require time and money:
Girls = Time x Money
And of course we know that time is money:
Time = Money
So...
Girls = Money x Money
And we know that money is the root of all evil;
Money = (Evil^1/2)
So…
Girls = (Evil^1/2) x (Evil^1/2)
And we are forced to conclude that…
Girls = Evil

Twenty-six days and seven months ago we brought forth in this school a new class, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that not all students have equal powers. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether this class, a class so mighty and so dedicated, can long endure.
We have about 1 more year of CCA in secondary school left. We have to choose what do we want to do. If we find no joy in it, then we are only condemning yourself to one more year of torture. And we can find the joy only if we attend a CCA which is the best possible for us. But the best is a matter of standards--and we set our own standards. We inherit nothing. We stand at the end of no tradition. We may, perhaps, stand at the beginning of one.
I hope that we have the wisdom to make the right choices for ourselves and our class. A class divided against itself cannot stand.

Good Evening 3e1...
today is a sad day....
because my post is not a cheerful one....
it is regarding the "war" between jw and kevin
Okay for all those who had visited the class C-Box should know that there is a situation.....
For those who dunno i will summarize it.....
Jin Wen and Weijie skipped today's ncc training...
Kevin & Eugene questioned them asking for a valid reason.....
then they started the quarrel....
jin wen says he wanna see if he will get DC(detention class) if he is absent from 1 training....
Kevin says that he should nt be absent just to "see" and try the results..
THEN!!!!!
TOTAL WAR STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Chat box gt spammed at this time....)
in the end, me & hj also gotten into this "war"
From here, i would like to ask Kevin to not seek an arguement with Jinwen.
Im sure jw knows exactly what he is doing ....
when he skips the training deliberately, he will look for the teacher-in-charge for DC
so there is not point in continuing this mindless quarrel.
It will disrupt the harmony of the class.
Jinwen, people who do not attend the CCA is also their business so do not attempt to use it as a reason to "try" pls.
They dont wanna go and they prefer DC better is their problem.
We are 3e1 ppl and we are different from the other classes...
and i also hope that people from other CCAs to not attempt to "try" just because alot of people not attending.
Like what Eugene said, it is a sheep's method of doing things.
I admit that i myself is nt attending yfc's meetings.
My reason is that i do not have passion for that particular CCA and had joined it in the past because i feel i had no other choices...
But i had given my best in the past and have no regrets about it.
the teacher-in-charge is demanding for a letter to quit
but im sure she will reject the reasons thus wasting everybody's time
so i will leave it that way (i have proposed to quit unfortunately she did nt want that)
okay my story is nt the point and i cannot say it is an exception
i only hope that my fellow classmate will not follow in my footsteps....
i also hope that kevin and jw can make peace and be gd friends again...

sad to say, lyk hongjie said, there is a war between mi, wj and the ncc personal.
firstly, i think my absence today is wrong. no valid reasons. wadeva.
i dont think tt's correct but i strongly feel my slient protest will work. definately.
it all started with a distribution of post on 1 ncc training in july. weijie was asked to be the admin for the week and was told to calculate the percentage of attendance of every cadets. nth goes wrong after a few week,my curiosity came. i asked weijie to let mi see the stuff he had done as i m the asm for that particular week. to my surprised, i saw the attendance and my first word to myself was pathetic. worse come to worse, i even noted that those not going for training was not punished and go away scot-free every single week. i feel that we were unfair as those who work so hard juz to help the unit was not compliment. lyk those of kevin and eugene and many others.
weijie n i dun even dare others to praise us as we are those guys who go for training and do nth.
so i suggest nt going ncc training on 29 july 2006 and see wad happens. i hope maybe some actions will be taken on monday 31 july 2006. unfortunately, nth happens during the 0800-1230hrs. during my training on 22/7/2006, admin called up those who nvr attend and says DC will be given on the following week. from what i know, nth happen.
wad even fired mi up was that , i was scold on the blog by kevin for nt attending the training. i admit i got no reasons but shortly after that, i was scolded by kevin n eugene. they even say i had showed a bad example for the juniors. tt's 1 thing for real. my 100% attendance is real. 100% means nvr skip. i skip onli for today and i show bad example? oh plz. for ur info, it is those part d okay... mr ong got eyes to watch. it is obvious. my fault? think again. they skip more times than mi and u say i set bad example?
my suggestion is u call others up to attend b4 u say mi, seriously. my first absence was during a NDP when i just recover from an illness. i was scolded by the senior who had graduated last year for my absence. i nearly cry. i got letter as well. so are u trying to say tt even i m sick, i m wrong and should be reprimanded as well?
ya wadeva it is, if u think it is wrong, well go ahead. i dun wan anyone to pity mi juz becos i make this damn post. well, in fact, i planned this skipping session. the word "plan" means i got this idea long ago and i hope i got the chance to test it out. however, it is negative.
and for your information, i nvr wan to quarrel with 2 of you. since kevin is so disappointed about my attitude, i had nth to say. Power, money, post...? all are rubbish! look at this world, i can tell u 99% of war occur becos of this 2 things. look at the papers. u will find sth lyk tis everyday.
Kevin, my purpose is not to act around and say how noble i m. i dun wan post, power, wadeva shyt. my purpose is to say sth fair to the other cadets who are committed (i will not say i m committed). looking at your furious response, it is obvious. when i did not go for training, you 2 are unhappy. SO AM I!
so, regarding the punishment, i will bring it up to mr.ong and the other teachers in charge.
punishments will be decided by the teachers. i have no rights to say or do anything else. for ur info, i will get myself a DC and proved to u that it is got talk, got actions. i strongly feel that this will be fair to you two.
to: kevin and eugene,
if there is something you still unhappy, call mi up.

Hello People's Republic of 3e1! (Persistently Non-Political Post)
I'm not going to address any issues today. Hence, I'm going to start of with response to Mr Ong's post.
Indeed! I'm one of those who keep failing MT. However, I'll fight my way out and reject any appeals for me to take CLB... Although I'm not well-versed in my MT, I'll do my very best to pass the today's format of the CL papers.
Don't take offence to the term "nerd". In any bad circumstances, there's always an advantage to one. Have anyone heard of the story about "Revenge of the Nerds"
We shouldn't take uncomfortable situations as it is, but actually find positivity and turn the tables around. I'm quite aware of some pupils in our level overwhelmed with jealousy of our class. Cliché Touché. This is normal. Don't be affected by these people. Also, we should take people passing the remark "nerd" as positive. These people are just praising us in a hostile way.
Gay? Well, think straight! Gay is defined as the most simple word like HAPPY! Alright...Let me go Way Out West. Since the word gay is quite popular among people then and now, I've got some things for the People to watch! Prreesseenttting!!!!!!!!!! HARD GAY!

Found his characteristics familiar in our school community? Well, there's one in my mind.
My favourite one is the Yahoo! and Tomy episodes.
He's quite an influential person in Japan. The masses support him passively as being afraid of getting harrassed by him on TV.
Hope no ones get offended by this post. If you are offended by the above, please don't hesitate to give me a nudge on msn.
Pleasure to be here for another hour. (This is cabin crew. Preparing for take-off!) Do I really have any affinity of being a air-steward? Take it as my silly-milly nonsensical fantasy.

Cheng Hwee is a marvelously good writer. My one-hour posts are far from his, and he is preaches peace whereas I generally preach war. I am overjoyed that he has started to post on the class blog; I look forward to more of his posts. Jin Wen, permission granted with great pleasure.
There is going to be a meeting for the CEOs soon. If anyone would like me to bring out an issue, tell me as soon as possible, be it on this blog or in person. I have already mentioned to Mr Amran the perpetual failure of the general office to replace our class keys; I have also mentioned that certain people from the other classes are creating trouble in our class. This trouble, as all of you have noticed, comes in the form of noise, uncouth language, and a host of other undesirable behaviors.
It is time for us to put all past internal controversies aside! When I jump over the past to look ahead, I do it intentionally. The time is running short! This is not the time for fruitless debates. We must act, immediately, thoroughly, and decisively, as has always been the 3e1 way.
There are whispers amongst the other classes, that we are nerds and fools. They seek to supplant us! We must not let this happen. With our continued efforts in both academic and non-academic aspects, we shall retain, and reinforce our position as the elite class. There are many non-academic events which are currently going on. It is the perfect opportunity for us to rid the horrible titles they have placed upon our heads. We must all do our part. Naturally, we cannot afford to neglect our studies as well. I am quite pleased to observe that we are doing well in both areas, with perseverance, victory is inevitable.
Once again, I urge the class to continue the 3e1 legacy. Together, 3e1 will endure countless winters!

Hi all!(Pardonne Moi)
There's a need for me to reply to jw's post. I understand the serious matter but I would like to point out something else about this issue between ourselves.
I don't mind if you call me paranoid. Also, I was not really affected at the beginning and I took it as a joke. I feel that it is alright to a certain extent as I've experienced it before in the past. For example, called "nerd", and many more. However, this time it's out of control.
I can sympathize with you for being a laughing stock, but deep down it's really agonising for you. The solution to this problem from my opinion should be done in not a serious way, we should do it in another way. I propose the "Quick Way": Both of us go to the front of the class and call the class to laugh at us. Following up is anyone who laughed at us to be laughed at. Or why not the "Normal Way": Do our best to feel comfortable with each other as classmates and maintain a healthy relationship from then on.
There's a need for us to confabulate. We could have been better friends if this rumour wasn't spread.
I know that you are a hard-hearted person who is straight to the point. However, hurting both parties as in the "Verbal Assault Way" is not a solution, it's just like running away from problems and will only resolve at a peak of a -50% rate. I support the practice of Non-Violence! We should be resolving such miscellaneous matters with a softer touch, not tampering it.
Do you want to know why I wanted to type posts in the class blog? There's some things that face-to-face conversations can't solve, it requires words from my conscience. I'm typing this post from my heart and soul. I really hope that we could be friends and not spoil friendship between us. Otherwise, why avoid me after the incident of the 1st shot of the rumour then? Avoiding the people using the rumour to poke fun at us like a needle on a voodoo doll. Coping with such things should be done bilaterally. It is not about doing things commando-style: A word of caution and following by taking actions in your own hands. The least we should do is to laugh together with those reminding us about the rumour and tell them that they are too noisy.
Take my situation as an example. I was also used to be called as a couple with my "twin brother" my previous class. He didn't avoid me when my classmates then talked about the rumour between us. Everything looks pwerfectly fine and it was gone after some times.
It's not my first time experiencing it and I've been taking it easy.
You feel offended by my post, I can infer it from your post. Since I've opened up this issue, I'm ready to take the blames from you until you are satisfied. As long as you feel better, I'll be very glad. If anybody wants to ask about this rumour, just take it as "I did the 1st step to 'court' him". I won't mind being humiliated since the starter of this rumour wants to see this Glorious Finale.
Jw, you are one of the best friends of mine, it has been hard on you. Let me take the humiliation from the people who did this to us, just like that americanised student from our school who wanted to "act cool and preach about her typical 'fashion rules'" on SBS 9244E at 2.30 pm just because I was trying to squeeze my way out of the bus and accidentally knocked into her (she didn't deserve my apology due to her substandard impersonation of old-skool backstreets).
This is quite a negative post. To brighten up the atmosphere. I would like to crack a joke:
kay so a guy is
nearing the
end of his
senior
year in high school.
Unfortunately,
he still has to share a room with his
younger
brother who is only 9
years
old.
One night, he decides to bring his
girlfriend home
for a little fun.
They
have bunk beds and the guy notices that
his little
brother is already
asleep
on the lower bunk, so he and his
girlfriend climb
up
to the top bunk.
As you
might expect things start to heat up.
The guy remembers that his little brother
is
sleeping below so he tells
his
girlfriend to whisper "lettuce" if she wants
it
harder and "tomato" if
she
wants a new position.
Lettuce!!!
Tomato!!!
Lettuce!!!
Tomato!!!
Lettuce!!!
Tomato!!!
She screams.
Lettuce!!!
Tomato!!!
Whoa!!!
PULL IT OUT!!!
PULL IT OUT NOW!!!
I can't get pregnant!
Then the little brother shouts up, "Hey,
would you
guys stop making
sandwiches up there! You're getting
mayonnaise
all over my
face!*!*!*!*!

hi.i came here to address a serious issue.not about maple and neither is about the wedding.i want to reply about cheng hwee's post.
from what i have read, i think his aim is to clarify things clearly bewteen me and him.yeah.in the end, it leads to more commotion among classmates.the first thing weijie do when he came to class was asking me if i had viewed any latest posts on blog.....i knew sth bad could have happened and i knew it.
after viewing cheng hwee's blog, i think he had done a lot of "research" of me.i dunno what happen, but i m the laughing stock in class for today....never mind.... small things.
say to sad, there are some points i want to point out if you want to clarify.i think he should not compare the difference as this will lead to more gossips like... "how did he know that?...."secondly, i feel that the best thing to do if you hear too much gossip is to report to the teacher. no point talking to the class. they will not listen and will create more rumours.third, i think my friends are having fun and they did not mean to create troubles.
i knew that and i don't mind. treat it as nth has happened ever in your life. maybe cheng hwee is a bit too paranoid. relax... i have played this kind of jokes tons of times in pri sch liao.... if you think you cannot take this... mayb u shd go my pri sch and play with my pri sch friends... it is more terrible than what u have...fourth, i treat this as a small joke and i don't give a damn to it. cheng hwee, i think it is best u confront my members urself and tell them to put a stop to this. if you do not wish to do it, i think i should put a stop to it myself and my words might make both parties suffer.lastly, i strongly feel that small things like this should hold anyone back from their studies. there will be more backstabber, betrayer, gossip-ers which will harm you when you go out for work.make a habit not to be affected by small comments. (my main purpose)
before i finish my post, may i have the permission to have my dg state flag put beside our photos? plz tag

Hi everybody!
Here's my debut post on the class blog: By order of Mr Ong :D
I would like to congratulate George upon his wonderful wedding! It is a fact that I reached the "Peach Blossom Garden" a 5 minutes late and I thought that the wedding banquet will take some time but sadly, it's a speed wedding. If only my com did not encounter a system error while I was loading the Maplestory.exe, I could have reached there right on time....
There's been some misunderstanding but I would like to take a stand on this situation. It was actually a very trivial issue. I was at the Cbox to explain the marraige system to li huan. What did I mean was actually like this:
The marraige system in the game is just optional. It's a novelty whereby one can get married for fun. Examples of reasons for marraige from my observations are mainly: Players who want to have a feel of marraige life, get married to have gaming partners in order not to feel lonely, some mainly for the plain fun of it, some just for the sake of going through the ordeal to have a look at the wedding/divorce ceremony, and many more. It's quite expensive though.
About why George got married? Well, this is best from the horse's mouth. :D
I understand how non-maplers get frustrated too at times. It's just like 2 person of different worlds who do not understand each other. That is why countries go to war because of small misunderstandings. I want to hereby attest a truce to stop the conflict and forget the incident spick and span.
Billy, don't take it to heart. I just wanted to fight the blazing inferno and put the matter to rest as I was a suspect too. Therefore, I felt that there's a responsibility for me to clear the matter. Being a suspect is something which I've learnt in my past experiences that is something dangerous and is not advisable to run away from. I was a real bad kid in the past and got into lots of trouble. Running away from trouble is equivalent to making myself look like a criminal too. Also, I believed in this chinese proverb: "The innocent gets himself out of trouble by himself". Therefore, I decided to let nature take its course too. Cheer up guys! Keep the spirit of the Revolutionary Golden Era high up!!! Flying High![Inspired by Dana Rayne - Flying High (Northstarz Extended Mix): My clubber's recommendation!]
Without further ado, I would like to talk about something sought after: My relations with JW.
We are not couples and don't even look like a perfect one as a matter of fact. Even if I go for a gender-change operation, we don't even have an affinity to be together too.
Both of us are from 2 ends. I like listening hardcore/scouse-house/trance/house/hardstyle music whereas JW likes pop/rock music. I come from the LifeScience Club whereas he comes from NCC. I love eating spicy food, but he hates spicy food to core. He loves to watch soccer, but I dread watching 20+ people on the field chasing after a white ball on the luscious green turf. He's smart and I'm simple-minded.
The relations between us are just like this: I'm his subordinate in DarkGuardian(Aquila) as Sinister and I'm his classmate/friend in class. There's no relationship love, just only friendship. Why not put it this way: Gargariser loves everybody!(At least I know it is lame)
Phweet! This is a long post indeed. I hope to see more from our class posting in our class blog. It has been my pleasure to type this post.
Ciao!(Not Xiao! Pronounce it as Chao and not put it as the singular meaning of chaos)

anyway hongjie.
i think it is a little too much to revoke billy's membership?
maybe you're too straight forward a little.
it will hurt him.
but i agree billy isn't helping much but maybe each person take a step back?
the matter will be solved peacefully.
but everyone has their views.
what billy did really doesn't deserve his membership to be revoked.
he's just stating his opinion right?
but i'm not saying hongjie is in the wrong too lahh.
just hope you guys understand.
anyway cheng hwee was noble yesterday
cause they couldn't find out who posted that entry.
and george was a little unhappy i guess.
then cheng hwee told me to tell the rest that he wrote it
WHEN HE DIDN'T EVEN WROTE IT.
he said he didn't want to cause anymore trouble.
he wanted to solve it peacefully
he also mentioned that since his name was already on the 'suspicious' board
then he told me to might as well say that he did it.
which i disapproved.
but anyway that's just to tell you guys lahh.
hahax. okiee. case closed.

ohh yea. mr ong read my blog and told me to post something which i already did on my blog to class blog.
it's actually something which i wrote about the class like ermm the character of each person.

Fellow comrades! Fellow 3e1 classmates! HAIL!
I am posting here today by the request of Class CEO Mr Chen Hongjie a.k.a Arvedui.
Unfortunately I do not know the purpose of my post so maybe I will try to make this post as long as possible.
I want to take this chance and ask whether we should also have a suggestions "letter box" made in class so that suggestions which might possibly help to make our classroom a more pleasant, a more home-like place to fellow 2006 3e1 classmates.
I also would like to ask the class whether what kind of class outings, activities do the majority ask for. Maybe some suggestions like class outing for a class bbq or to the K-box.Pardon me if i am uncreative as i tend to stay in home in the past and thus have not seen or know much so i would look forward to suggestions given. A poll will then be set-up to see which suggestion for the class outing is the MOST popular so that the particular outing or event could be organised. I will not decline the so called "stupid"ideas but will only decide whether the idea would be carried out after the polling.
And also, i am thinking of starting a personal blog but i am inexperienced and hope to seek help from fellow classmates. Clarence has a new blog so i hope everybody would also take the time to take a look at http://leo-clarence91.blogspot.com/ .
I think this post is long enough to past as a regular post so i will stop here. I bid all of the readers, visitors of the blog a good day and wish you good health.
Yours Sincerely

I feel that ronald and hongjie both did well(preferably hj no offence to ron )and i like the part where the school started "HAIL"ing during the middle of the speech seems as if we really were in Germany during World War 2 listening to the propaganda minister's speech. It was a moving experience I would say. I dare say hj is quite pleased with himself.

Since I, after having been admonished by the establishment, entirely abandon the false opinion that the home work given by our Chinese teacher is not useful, and that it is inefficient. I am never to hold, defend, nor teach in any manner whatever, either orally or in writing, the false doctrine; after having received a notification that the doctrine is contrary to the plan. I have been judged vehemently suspected of heresy, that is, having believed that the Chinese home work is unjustified.
I abjure with sincere heart and unfeigned faith, I curse and detest the published errors and heresies, and generally every error contrary to the Chinese home work. And I swear that for the future I will neither say nor assert in speaking or writing such things.
I also swear and promise to adopt and observe entirely with the penances which have been or may by this home work imposed on me. And if I contravene any of these promises, protests, or oaths I submit myself to the pains and penalties by which the disciplinary arm of the school and other decrees in general.
I Chen Hongjie aforesaid have abjured, sworn, and promised, and hold myself bound as above; and in token of the truth, I have typed it out with my computer: On this day, 13 of July, I, Chen Hongjie, have abjured as above, with my own hand.

Dear Miss Chin,
I think and feel that my post have offended you. Today in class, you clearly showed that you are deeply unpleased with us and absolutely fuming. Therefore, i am writing now an apology to show that i am truely sorry for what I had done and hope that you will forgive me. Please do not mind when the class complains from time to time. It is just that we sometimes complain a bit but we will still get the work done in the end. So, i feel that you will not be so angry after reading this and I will understand if you will not forgive me so easily for making such a comment but i will accept any punishment that you want to dish out. I am sorry.
Yours sincerely,
George

hi 3e1,
umm.... i feel that if you all say is too much work, i don't really agree.
If u add up one subject homework, for example math, we have more than 3 assignments per week, excluding this term. last term? or even eng, we also have more than 3 assignments per week!
since we can also cope with more than 3 assignments per week for a subject why can't we do the same for chinese??
personally, i feel that it might be due to the reason that we dislike chinese as we are weak at it. come on, think of what she says this morn! she says that it is just the way how we view chinese and what is our attitude towards it ya! see, we love math cause we are strong, thus we don't really complain. furthermore, i thought hongjie loves homework? he states that this time chinese have gone overboard. does it? if this is the case, shouldn't math homework be worse? somemore, this is a review, which is definitely easier than completing a math misc exercises! isn't it?
somemore, this is the whole school event! she is not the mastermind! why ( to me) are you all pushing the blame on her? she is merely passing the instructions to us.
hongjie says that the decorating of homework. if you don't want to decorate, i am sure she is fine with that! about the time, i have already stated those in my previous post.
thus, i don't see the need to complain too much homework!
sorry, this post is made on an angry tone.

This is a light hearted post. I have modified certain poems from Lord of the Rings.
O! Students in the shadowed land
Despair not! For though dark they stand,
To all homework there must be an end at last,
And see the open sun go past:
The setting sun, the rising sun,
The day's end, or the day begun.
For east or west all homework must fail...

I believe that homework is good. I believe that we should rejoice when we are given homework. However, extremism in the defense of anything is no virtue; moderation in the defense of everything is no vice.
This time round, I am utterly convinced that our new Chinese assignment is overboard. We will have to do 10 reviews in a mere four weeks. Let us not forget, we will have to do other homework as well. Remember, the amount of homework is increasing.
It is fallacious and shaky to say that these 10 reviews are meant to help us. If that was the true motive, then the 10 reviews should be spread out over a longer period of time. Surely everyone unanimously agrees that quality is better than quantity? Undoubtedly, I am able to churn out the reviews on time, if I sacrifice my sleep (and hence affecting my attention in class). This question I ask. Will it help me much? Will it be worth the effort?
I know the answers. It is clear. No and no. If it were to take place over a longer period of time, no doubt it will, and there is no doubt that I would do it with vigor. Let me present to you an analogy. I presume everyone likes to eat chocolate. The first piece always tastes delicious. The second is still delicious, but not as good. The third is worse than the second, so on and so forth. This is known as diminishing returns. The same applies for homework. We must work hard, yes, but we must remain moderate.
I am puzzled. There is a glitch in our Chinese teacher’s argument. If it was really for our good, why on earth do we need to decorate it? True, decorating may help some people remember better; hence decoration should be optional, not compulsory. Why then does she want all of us to do it? I am suspicious.
Moreover, homework should not take up all our time. We should still have enough free time everyday to do what we deem needs to be done. Homework is a very rigid method of studying. Imagine, my mathematics is suffering, but I cannot afford to do my own revision as another subject’s homework is taking up my time.
Indeed, we are the best class (our results prove it beyond reasonable doubt). Hence, I suggest we do something that no other class is doing. We should allow our students to have free time to spend. We are a responsible class; we know where to spend our effort. We know our weaknesses, and we have to correct them on our own. We cannot let homework hinder us. Homework is supposed to help us. We can do our own revision! We can study on our own! We do not need teachers to force revision down our throats via excessive homework!
Assuming the O levels is the main objective now, and that everything else is peripheral (like monthly tests), I advocate we carry out a boycott. Since squeezing all the work into a short span of four weeks is bad for us, we should not do that. I advocate that we issue an ultimatum. We shall do one (or maybe 2) reviews a week at most. Do not ask how much homework you can do. Ask what can homework do for you.
Doing something we have passion in is no doubt a joy. However, the greater the fire, the more fuel is needed to keep it going. We remain irrevocably human. Our bodies have to rest.
Gesundheit!

Hi all, I would like to comment about the Chinese competition. I am sorry to say that I don't quite agree with all of you. George states that we don't have time. But in actual fact, I seemed to have more time in term 3. After attending the Adam Khoo workshop, I believe that all of us have learnt how to manage our time better. Isn’t it? For me, I have learnt to cope with my studies better. In fact, now, I can revise 3 subjects a day, plus homework, and sleep before 11pm.
Thanks to Adam Khoo...everyone has their own tight schedule. It is just how well they can manage their time. Umm... excluding the sc students. I can see the tiredness on their faces in school....the Chinese competition; maybe we can talk to ms chin as a class. I agree with huan. Maybe it is across all levels??? Since some of you claimed that the Chinese competition will make you lose face. Maybe we can ask the teachers maybe send the good ones only? Hey, come on 3e1. All of us claimed that we are the best, isn't it. But when it comes to a minor competition, where is the spirit and enthusiasm?
Since we claim that we are the best, we should be like other superior schools who can cope well with everything, isn't it? Why should we be afraid of the competition? Even 1e1 never objects, why must we object? Just treat it as another assignment. I believe that we put in a lot of efforts in all assignments right? Just treat the coming assignment as another ordinary one. Put in your best. We should focus on the process of doing the assignment, but not the outcome.
Sorry, if I seem to be picking on George. Umm, he said that we have more subjects compare to other classes?? No, we have the same number of subjects. And why do you say that we have more math homework then them? No, in fact, they have more stress in math compared to us. They have so many notebooks. They attempt the workbooks all these. True enough, the two previous terms we have more homework then them. But this term? Hardly any math homework. Isn’t it? In fact, I quite missed the tons of math homework. Without the homework, I feel odd... haha George, once upon a time, I also have the same mentality as you. as in why should we have a test every month. However, come to think of it, if without the tests, would anyone be revising on their own?
Instead of dwelling the negative side, think of the positive side! Treat the tests as worksheets. The worksheets are for you to gauge your progress and allow the teacher to know which part the students do not understand. Our class still seems quite to the teachers. Only through the monthly tests, they would know which part we are facing difficulties. Take chemistry for example. We don't have a mole concept test. In the end, we struggled in our mid yr. after going through mid yr paper, ms Chiang understands our problems and reteach us. Only through tests and exams, the teachers can understand the weak part of us.
For oneself, there are bound to be benefits too. During major exams, like mid yr, we have 2 subjects per day. Do we have enough time to go through every single worksheet that was given to us? Mainly NO! So for me, I only refer to the monthly tests. All of us should stop grumbling. Do not take the outcome of the monthly tests to heart; the ultimate outcome we are aiming for is our o levels. by then, who bothers about your monthly results?? We should learn from the mistakes that we committed and not to make that again in the major exams. Moreover, 3e4 has a weekly math test.
The most important thing is not about how good you are compared to the others, but to yourself, HAVE YOU IMPROVED? If yes good, maybe every test, you improve by one mark, that is enough. By o level, compared to sec 3, you should feel happy that you have improved. Well, this piece of advice is what I received from mrs kwok and my choir members. they have been a great support to me. I was upset with my results for mid yr. as all of you know, I deproved a lot. Cheer up guys, don't let the marks demoralized u! hmm... about the depression and suicide, haha, I quite agree with George. no amount of medicine or stupid counseling will cure depression and prevent suicide cases!!!
About the teachers stress, umm... actually, if you don't have the passion to be a teacher, you would feel the stress. if you have the passion, you would feel great instead of stress. if you all don't believe me, we can conduct a survey after our exams. if one has the passion in teaching, u won't feel condemned to it. Confucius once say this: “Find a job that you enjoy doing and you don't have to work a single day". if the teacher main aim is to help and guide the teenagers through their teenage years, they would not feel stress. Ya, that's all I have to say, focus on the process instead of outcome!
NOTE: guys, adam khoo workshop is really helpful. dig out the notes u have made during the workshop. use it! it is worthwhile. it has worked on me. The memory curve. I realized that I have a better memory of the facts.... try it.... maybe you might do better and can cope better :)kk, i have to go now...take care guys. term 3 is hectic!!! don't fall sick. i was running a fever yesterday. Take good care of your health. don't stress yourself out! take out time for yourself. Maybe you all should have some break first before continue? don't break down guys!!! we shall support one another to the end!! Hang on there!! Count down!! Final yr exams are round the corner lerx... after the exams, we would be able to rest again...umm, I am sorry if I have offended you all.... it is just my personal views...

Personally, I too feel that this homework assignment is too sudden and abruptive, popping out of no where and shocking the whole class. It is one thing to complete a homework/class test assignment but it is another matter to sign us up for the competition without our permission. It is forcing us to take part in the competition and the thing about invovling the work as a part of our CA marks forces us to HAVE to do well in it or risk affecting the final year results.
The next few weeks will be hectic with our monthly tests coming hot on our heels and the rise and fall of emotions after the results, we have to also cope with the studies falling heavy on us. As 3e1, we naturally have more subjects compared to other classes and our mathematics is almost quite alot except compared with 3e2. When people then to be rushed, they also tend to rush through and give the so-called "rubbish work" to teachers making them extremely unpleased. But when one does not have a choice, the decision to hand up rubbish work is inevitable.
So I feel that Ms Chin could give us an assignment like this but not sign up for competition, keeping it maybe for the eyes of the visitors during whatever events occuring in school as people like me and some others I'm sure are very shy X) . Since CA marks are counted, maybe the time could be lengthen so that we can do a better job than what we would hand up in a rush.
I'm also very sure that everybody is currently dealing with both the studies and also the CCAs. The entreprenuer club for example is also very busy preparing for courses and the teacher's day sales which are still in the current discussion mode but are executing them soon from this week.Other CCAs like NCC & SC are something like us, busy or worse.
Regarding the monthly test i was thinking why couldnt we have a test only once every 3months. I mean as Mr Ong says studying is about the UNDERSTANDING. So, if one could understand what he/she is studying so even a test is given 3 months later it is still possible to survive the test right? This monthly test is placing unnecessary stress on the students in Singapore. Notice that i used the word Singapore because almost every school in Singapore are going through what our school and students are going through. Giving a monthly test will place unnecessary stress on students making them jumpy and nervous for 2 weeks every month and might even cause MORE suicides cases in Singapore. Those people who says that what depression is cureable and you must know when to relax and all, I say that they are crapping and do not pay any attention to them. I mean if you do not have time to even cope with school work so would one dare to spend time to relax? The answer is surely No. The teachers also suffer with us every month because they are in charge of setting the papers and are responsible for the results of their respective classes. If we do poorly, they will start sweating and ponder over how to make us improve. For Maths practise(i think), sciences remedial lessons, language will be using them frequently and so on. So what i mean is that the teachers will be doing a lot of "extra" stuff that they were not asked to in the job description which might make them wonder what made them wanted to teach and then suffer the risk of dying early? According to statistics, teaching is one job running the highest health risk with the possibility of dying earlier and several health problems like deafness and malnutrition.( i mean the teachers are even thinner than my granny was when she was 90 years old ==")
So the bottom line im trying to say is the education system now is not that good afterall. It is just causing people to age, die faster compared to other countries. It is also forcing people to be more competitive than required. When people are competitive they care more for themselves than others which might explain why Singapore was placed 30+ position for the politeness test oraganised by RD magazine.
So since the teachers are no better than us, I would like to ask teachers and students to be brought to the attention of the difficulties students and teachers seperately and also understand and sometimes tolerate each other for some unreasonable acts.
I would like to wish everybody visiting this blog a good day and good health to you.
Yours Faithfully
George

oh....
i make a post faster than mr.ong worx.... =.=
anyway, my post for today is regarding the chinese hmwk.
i promised to speak out for a few of my friends and myself. =P
my purpose here is not to question about the hmwk ms chin gave but we are giving reasons why we do not have the time to do and his homework is also part of a competition from what we know.
july is a busy start of the term as we were back from our holidays and there are a lot of things to settle. from what i know, there are a few classmates who always left before the class ended at 2pm. it is difficult for them to catch up with the studies. if i were them, i would most probably die. (you may want to ask aiksong about his activities for this week, and after looking at his schedule, i think you will faint.) those heavily involved in cca and other activities will also think that it is a tough 2 weeks for them, especially our ncc members. (3 ncc activities on 19/7, 21/7, 22/7) although our activities are not as much as the others are, ncc activities are usually tiring and tedious. haiz...... apart from this, i think there are more others who are also heavily involved in their cca. it is just that they do not want to voice out and tell the class about it.
secondly, it is a weird thing to have test crumped up in 1 or 2 weeks. it happens every month if you have take note. unfortunately, this assignment also fall in the 2 test weeks. plus those activities and after school lessons,we barely have enough time for ourselves and our families.
lastly, the assignment is so strange that we only can do 3 pieces of newspaper articles per week and by the end of the 4th week, we need to hand in 10 articles with reflection and compiled nicely with decorations. =.=" this means that we will have homework to do for the next 4 weeks.
e should blame our teacher for that as we did not know who is the mastermind behind this. i strongly feel that she is not so cruel to let us do this much of work.
sad to say, there is a very big violent objection when we were told to do this piece of homework and what can we do......?

i don't expect such a strong reply from the class. thx for understanding me and the sc like what aik song had said.
frankly speaking, i am not creating a fuss in class and i do not want to disrupt the golden age we have now. however, many of us are taking lessons and homework as if they do not exist at all. while some were prompted in handing in work, there were some which had gone from bad to worst. reminders had to be given again and again, and in the end nothing was handed up.
i don't demand an apology for what i had written previously as i did not state any name in it.
my purpose for writing last night was to let the class knows that it is term 3 now and it is time to wake up from your holiday mood.

I see in your eyes the same rage and sorrow that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the integrity of 3e1 fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. An hour of woes and shattered textbooks, when the age of 3e1 comes crashing down! But this is not the day! This day, we do our homework!
Personally, I am prudent enough not to see the councilors as idols when it comes to academics (now, that doesn’t sound politically correct). On a more serious note, I believe everyone can see that. It is a pathetic excuse to say that “since the councilors are the role models, and they don't do their homeowork, so we'll just do likewise”. Aik Song pointed this out, I believe. (Oh yeah, don’t use the class CEO as an excuse too. I am rather certain he won’t appreciate it).
I sympathize with Jin Wen’s plight. Being a subject rep is a difficult job. Jin Wen’s job is especially difficult because mathematics is one of the heaviest subjects (literally and metaphorically). I feel somewhat guilty for handing up my work late. I assure the subject representatives that I am working to solve this problem and develop self-discipline. I have had some success lately, but at the cost of my health. At the rate things are going, by the end of this month, I shall hand in all my work on time.
There is homework and more homework before us. We know that we can and must do them all. It will be a dangerous year in which the fate of us civilized Hua Yians once again will hang in the balance. And as was the case so often in the past, salvation will come when one least expects it. We need only believe firmly in it, and fight for it. Salvation lies in loyalty to ourselves and to our task. Onward, unto finishing homework on time, unto a good O level result!

ok guys, the homework collection is really getting on my nerves. it is a sensitive issue to me.
im just here to give an explanation to those of u in the class who, doubt the responsibility of the councillors in our class as to why we seldom hand in our homework, especially this period of time and esp me and steven. just in case you were wondering, "Are the STUDENT COUNCILLORS a role-model" this is a rather proper explanation, correct me if im wrong....
firstly,
We, the student council organises activites in the school which requires time to brainstorm leaving us VERY little time to do our work. we return home after every meeting day around 6pm and the homework that we are bombarded with is really overwhelming. Do try to imagine urselves in our shoes and i hope to reach out for ur understanding.
secondly,
in case u have noticed, i admit, i have NOT been handing up 50% of all my homework, same goes for steven. this is not wad u shld be looking up to us as role models. however, we do not hand in homework FOR a reasonable reason, and im nt trying to be funny here. steven and i, in case you have not been looking behind, we are getting called out almost once EVERYDAY. this is something im sincerely and trully NOT happy about it as it interrupts the lesson and the facts will get distorted. we also can get pulled out of the lessons leaving the information taught by the teacher being oblivious to us. and thus we do not know how to do and least, hand it our homework
thirdly,
do not treat us student councillors like idols, whom u treat us as a role model. i admit we shld be a role model but please if u see some councillor who really isnt up to it to be a rolemodel or u think he or she is setting a bad example, THEN DUN FOLLOW HIM OR HER, you are an idiot if u do. i know there aren't any in the class now who have this thoughts as to using studentcouncillors as a reason to not hand in work but im sad to say ive got enough of nonsense from the other schoolmates from other classes and i wont hesitate to scold or shout at you if u use the student councillor as a reason nt to hand in work.
P.S kudos to huan, ron and cons for upholding the face slightly by doing your work. thank you all. =)
i have room for improvement and i hope that you ppl can advice me along the way...
sry to jinwen for nt always handing in my homework on time.

Dear fellow classmates of 3e1
After reading jinwen's post a few minutes ago, i must say that i am greatly disturbed.
This inconsiderate person is really too much though making him wait for so long and until he needs to go home THEN she arrives with the worksheet.
The problem does not lie with jinwen. He is merely the class representative for mathematics and he does not have the need to stay back after school to collect homework and also wait for people who forgotten to go home and retrieve it. He has the right to just give whatever he has collected to Mr Ong and ask those who did not hand in, bring or whatever the case is to hand up themselves the next day or at a later time. I am the class representative for the Geography subject and i also give Miss Goh whatever i collected and simply ask the rest to hand up themselves. I am nt as reponsible to collect 80-90% of the work at least before handing them in so since Jinwen makes an effort to do a proper job, i feel we should also do the same thing also. I request that jinwen next time just collect as much as possible, give to mr ong then go home. Those that have not complete can finish then put inside Mr Ong's pigeon hole.
If you dont mind me or cheng hwee to be KPO, I say that let us help u collect also so that your burden will be lighter.
I hereby urge fellow classmates to be more considerate towards people of our class and nt bully them. Do not spoil the class 3e1's togetherness or harmony.
Thank You

hi all.
firstly, i wan to apologised to my darkguardian maplers as i gave them a bad attitude just now.
i hope kevin sees this and won't be mad at me.
firstly, i want to say something about myself. i have been the maths rep for about 7 months in 3e1 and i feel that i have not been doing a great job since january. the reason why i say this is because i have not been giving the full 40 pieces of a particular work for mr ong to mark. there were usually some late submission for homework. with that, i decided to put in more effort in collecting wksht with 90% submission (at least).
today is a challenging day as i had never collected 6 hmwk at 1 go. 240 pieces of hmwk altogether. not easy, but at least a 80% submission. apparently, majority have handed up. there were some who were not in class when i told the class to submit. so i put a remark for mr ong to know what's happening.
the add maths holidays assignment was hard and there were times i couldn't even do and solve. i think that's the reason why most of the class couldn't hand in by today. add maths was quite hard in the first place and i agree. i was told that all add maths hmwk was to be handed up by thursday. so i decided to stay back for about 20+min to collect the remaining few which are still struggling with their work. i went round the class to make sure that all of us handed up at least 1 piece of hmwk. sad to say, there was 1 outstanding student in our class that i was told that he was going to after school(if i m not wrong) and in the end, i dont know where he had gone and not a single piece of work is handed up. Mr. Ong, please refer to the class list and look for the word "outstanding" under remarks. This is not personal attack. i am saying this cause i am irritated for this person always hand in work late and i knew that.
another situation i faced today is that a lady did not bring her wksht. i was told that she was going back to take her hmwk and submit. however, all i get was to wait. i don't know where she had gone to, but i am very sure she had not gone back home. i waited until 1450hr where majority had handed their hmwk and was all ready to go home. it was very bad as wei cheng, weijie and kevin are waiting for me outside the class. i told them to go home and not to wait for me. finally, a few minutes later i went home as i cant afford to waste any more time as my mother would be worried. a few handed in after i went home. as i approached the bus stop, i saw that particular person holding a hmwk and coming to me. Gosh? what took her so long? =.= obviously, she was taking her own sweet time and i board the bus that lead to my home. she might as well told me she is going to hand in tommorow and not waste my time. i went home with rage. >=(
lastly, i don't know which "smart alex" put his/her wksht inside the pile of ready, marked wksht when i was away in toilet. i was confused when i saw the no. of wksht dont match the no. in the class list. i had to checked everything all over again before i came to a conclusion who did that!
it's kinda of ridiculous but it's true. 2 of the add maths wksht were put in without my acknowledgement.
although i am a maths rep and i dont have the final say in class, i think that there should something to be done to those who often submit late assignments. if you have noticed, the teachers nowadays keep telling us hand up work on time. i think it is our responsibility to hand in our work on time. even if we did not bring or forget to do, we can let the teacher knows straight away and not let the teacher wait for us and find out for his/herself.
lastly, whenever there is hmwk needed to be submitted, please kindly put it on my table and let me settled it myself. thx for some of your help. from now on, i shall hold the responsibility of collecting everything.
any comments or suggestions, please come to me and talk to me. i won't any grudge against anyone.
Thank You.

Ah yes, the old question. I wonder whether we will have any new answers, and I also wonder what the class feels about it.
Ultimately, it boils down to studying (for us). We are in an ordinary school, and the purpose of going to an ordinary school is to study. (Realize that we spend more time on studying?) We have to get our studies right, before everything else. It is argued that the potential employer will look at CCA more than studies. But then again, why would an employer want a person who cannot get his priorities right? Moreover, judging solely by CCA is terribly subjective, and it will no doubt lead to much dispute.
I preach moderation. By that I do not mean spending equal time after school on studies and CCA. Rather, I assert that we (who do not have really remarkable studies) should spend significantly more time on studies. CCA is just a peripheral activity of relaxation.

Okaayyy
i will be the first to start.
Personally i would prefer CCA.
For the whole 15 years of my life i feel i have done enough homework already and but i did not sign up for a CCA in primary school and spent my time idling away and i hope i can earn back this time when i am in secondary school.
I guess i have to do study for at least for another 6 more years if i am going JC then university or at least 5 years in polytechnic( I think ) and so on. I would say there will be plenty of homework available throughout my whole life but not much of CCAs activities though.
Studying could also be done anywhere including during CCA hours. Each CCA teaches a skill which might be useful to one in the future and mostly studying includes homework and tests which i DETEST and think it should be ABOLISHED!!!!!
So, I will be longwinded and repeat that i would prefer CCA to studies.

7 mths have passed since our class officially started
and 7 mths since phone numbers have been updated.
I should say that some of us in class might have changed our phone numbers and i feel it is necessary for the class to be updated of each others phone numbers.
So, I would like to request of the class here to inform Adeline, head of student welfare, of the change in your number whether it is handphone or phone number.
I will start with mine. I changed my handphone number to 90370951 for the benefit of those who does not know.
I feel the rest should follow suit so that we will have an updated list of each others' numbers.
This is not about being a sheep or not for the information of those who tries to be funny.
Lihuan please come up quickly with the NEW design of the class tee-shirt please. The chalet happening in december shall be decided by next week and will notify the class here or will be written on the whiteboard after discussion among committee members.

Ronald and I shall be going for the oratorical competition 2 weeks from now. Thurai Singam does not want Ronald’s LKY speech, unfortunately. He shall be going as a major figure in the world war 2. We can’t decide who yet. Please forward all suggestions to us. Thank you. In the mean time, I am looking for a trench coat (preferably beige) to rent. Knee level minimum.
Whao, Jin Wen made a really long post. Unfortunately, I am a soccer-illiterate person, hence I have hardly any idea what is going on. This is all I have to say for today.

two match were played last night. England and Portugal. Brazil and France.basically, the hot favourites were knocked out by their opponents. it's kinda disappointing. however, there is a saying that the ball is round and no one knows where it will go and who will win in the match. there are much more to see and things are getting interesting.
England is out! YAY!
England played well during that match. However, I was very annoyed at the England fans at how they boo at Portuguese player during the match. If you had watched that match, the fans boo at the Portuguese whenever they had the ball, commit a foul or tackle players. They boo at Ronaldo after he protested when Rooney stepped on Carvalho. Things went worse there.
At least, the Portuguese proved themselves after a penalty shootout and they head on to the semi-finals.
There is no surprised why Brazil was "kicked" out by the French. Firstly, they had never won France in 48 years in competitions. Secondly, their attack and defence are good. As you saw on the newspaper today, Carlos and 4 defenders were sonehoe day-dreaming when a free kick was taken by Zidane. Henry was left unmarked and there were 5 strikers near the goal and only the other 3 defenders make their way to mark the other 4. The other 4 and Carlos hardly moved and marked the opponents. I think it is kind of poor defending and that's not the only 1. Few minute later, there was nearly an own goal.
There was strong attack by the Brazilian shortly after that. Their speed was godly fast, i must say. Their attack was strong, but the ball cannot find the net. In the end, France grabbed the win and managed to go on to the semi-finals.
The class can feel free to post something on the blog. A tag can also be put to say what you feel about the class, management etc. Treat this as your own blog! =)
