Nothing much

Life is moving along as usual, nothing really special. I can't believe that it is SMO in less than two weeks and my revision is going badly. I really need to polish up on my Combinatoric and Geometry. My Trigonometry is fail. I think I am going to fail SMO at this rate. Argh.

Considering how little times I went to Npcc, I am really surprised that i am among the few who finished all the CIP hours needed for NYAA.

IHMQ

Inter-House Math Quiz.
I can't exactly tell how I did. It was over way too fast. I think my score is between 18 to 25, which is most likely a pass. (total 40) Quan said he did 13/15 for short questions and q1 of the long question. He might even win everyone of us.

Phy Practical after that is fun, fiddling with the spectrometer, and using our shirts as screens to capture the image, staring at the bright light until my eyes hurts. The instructions says that there are wavelengths of light other than those of visible light. (I think I just killed  my eyes) The results are really good and I think I will post up the element after my group found out what it is. (after next Wednesday, for obvious reasons) For those who have not done yet, go do element Y. In my opinion, the setup is way better than the rest. 

I just finished the Final version of the geography project which is up to 50% different from the previous draft. And can anyone tell me whether I need to type a personal reflection?

A break, a really short one.

This morning it was still clear when I walked out of my house and the moment I reached the bottom floor, rain started pouring down like mad, and since my umbrella is not really firm, the wind blew it upside down. Then I had to wait for my private school bus in the rain as the shelter was removed due to the need to repair damages. So I got completely drenched. Not a good thing with 2 tests in the day.

This whole week was filled completely with test, projects. I managed to find a 10 min break to type this post. 

I pretty much died for math CCT today. 
-2 for not doing part of the question (jammed)
-1 for the wrong proportion when sketching a graph
-1 for not remembering to take negative value for a square root
-1 for writing the wrong sign
-1 for not combining k<15+2sqrt26>15-2sqrt26 
So I will be lucky to get 24/30 for my CCT which means my math is 79.6% overall (estimate)
I need to be more careful, or I can't imagine what will happen during SMOS.

Just finished English Extensive Reading Program, wrote a bunch of crap and why in the world do we need to make reference to the text when writing a personal narrative after reading one by some random guy?

Inter-house math quiz tomorrow. Alan said he is setting the paper in an attempt to make You Jun fail. I wonder what will happen. When Barry's batch tried to make Ivan fail, he score 23/30 and made 6 careless mistakes. So...

And Napfa is officially over for my class. I was pretty happy with my results of 4A, 1B, 1C. I guess being counted as one year younger really helps a lot. 2.4km walk, the fastest walker in the world can finish this distance in around 9 min 20 sec. (CHAOS project) Maybe we should try walking next time and see how fast we can do so. Walking here is defined as at least one leg with contact with the ground at all times and that leg must be straight.

By the way, do anyone know how to draw the electron configuration for CO which shares a double covalent bond and a coordinate bond?

Tick Tock

Way too busy to update this few days.

National Team Selection test is horrible. I think i got 21 or 22 and the cut off is just 24. Sigh. I guess I have to try harder next year. Hope that Singapore Team can still go to germany as there are 10 confirmed Swine Flu cases there already.

Next week is really busy. Chemistry CCT on Tuesday, Math CCT on Thursday, and Biology practical on Friday. Not to mention the Geography project due next Thursday and English ERP due dunno when. I need to find more spare time.

Got selected for RLP, going to get stuck in school for 2 terms without TV. I am gonna miss all of my documentaries. T.T On the bright side, I will get more time to sleep.
