- Dedicated to those who don't care about their PW and are thinking of copying someone's I&R.
- Dedicated to my batchmates who have just finished their PW (and to those who haven't, don't worry! Your turn will come soon!)
- Also dedicated to all secondary 4s who are thinking of studying in a junior college next year.


Project Work - Insights and Reflections (I&R)

The purpose of Project Work is to provide an opportunity for us to learn how to engage with issues, and process information that is presented in a manner that is less structured, not subject-specific and open-ended.

Project Work starts off with the distribution of the Question Paper, which consists of two questions. This will hone our decision-making skills because we can only choose one of the questions to work on for our Preliminary Ideas. This gives us a chance to consider the advantages and disadvantages of doing either question. Although we may have many ideas, the 500-word limit will train us to be succinct in our report.

After submission of the Preliminary Ideas, grouping will be released. Its purpose is to test on our abilities to accept our group mates. The Group Project Proposal focuses on teamwork, as the whole group will have to decide and accept on one project task to undertake throughout the whole year.

The Evaluation of Material teaches the moral behind "the early bird catches the worm". We have to get hold of a good article as early as possible before our group mates can. The component builds on the skills learnt in Social Studies during our secondary education. We will need to critically analyse a source by questioning its reliability through cross-referencing and its usefulness to our project.

We are able to acquire collaboration and communication skills through the Written Report, because we will need to work with the whole group in order to produce a final report. The Written Report teaches us to acknowledge sources which we use for references. This is important because plagiarism is taken very seriously both inside and outside of school. We learn that plagiarism is similar to intellectual theft and is seen as an act of dishonesty. For example, this Insights and Reflections is done by me, so references made to this should be acknowledged.

After the submission of the Written Report, an Oral Presentation has to be given. This will enhance teamwork between the group members as various parts of the presentation have to be linked together. Furthermore, it will test us on our abilities to speak clearly and confidently in front of an audience. The Question and Answer segment allows us to explain and elaborate on our answer to the question supplied to test our bullshitting skills.

Finally, the Insights and Reflections is the most integral part of this whole Project Work because it will allow us to reflect on what we have learnt throughout the whole journey. We will then be able to realise our own strengths and weaknesses as a person and will strive to work towards excellence.

In conclusion, Project Work provides us with the opportunity to synthesise knowledge from various areas of learning, and critically and creatively apply it to real life situations. Project Work should continue to be included into the syllabus of the next batches of JC1 students as it will prepare them for lifelong learning and the challenges ahead.

Recently I have been hearing people making fun of the 'A' level syllabus. Like coming up with stuffs after H1/H2/H3. Frankly speaking doing so seems to make the topic quite studious. 2 new topics that I have heard: Contract Bridge and Humour. I was thinking how it would be like if they were REALLY 'A' level topics...

BRIDGE
H2 Bridge will cover all aspects of the card game like the bidding, declarer play and the defence, as well as the rules of the game. Psychological play is also included, such as looking at opponents' expressions and the choice of playing of cards (for example, which card do you play from a holding of KQJ? K or Q or J?). The weightage of the paper will be as follows:

20% - MCQ on percentage plays.

For example: Let's say declarer has AK98 and dummy has J765. How do you play for no losers?
A: Play A and K
B: Finesse the J then play A and K
C: Finesse the 9 then play A and K
D: Finesse the 9, then the J, then play A and K
(btw I think none of the choices are correct... don't ask me because I dunno)

50% - Structured Questions.

For example: You're holding a hand with 7-carded spades and 10 high card points. You opened the bidding with 3S and your partner bids 4NT.
a) What is your partner telling/asking you? [2]
b) Should you pass his bid? Why or why not? [2]
c) Construct a deal whereby this contract will make in 4NT. [2]
d) Determine what you should do/should have done if you had 15 points instead and explain why. [3]

30% - Practical. Candidates will be required to play 64 boards during the practical session. The score will be based on the average of all the candidates taking the same paper. Candidates will be playing against 3 robots which will make the same bid/play for all the candidates playing the same board. For example, if you score +430 on a board where the rest of the candidates score +400, you will receive 100% for that board.

H1 Bridge will be taught the rules of the game, the basic bidding, declarer play and defence. The exam format will be as follows:
30% - MCQ
70% - Structured Questions.
There will be no practical.

Example topic:
Declarer's play - Learning outcomes
1) Counting winners, counting losers
2) Concept of finessing and percentage plays
3) Playing No Trumps and playing Trumps
4) Concept of cross-ruffing
* 5) Squeeze play
* 6) Coup
7) How to claim tricks

* Not in H1 syllabus

H3 Bridge will require candidates to do an independent research on a topic of their choice on the game. They will be required a write an essay of 2500 - 3000 words on the topic that they have chosen. Example topic: What to bid when I have 0 points?

[Side-note: Hong Aik, you are currently offering H3 Bridge and your topic is what to bid with 0 points. I hope you did not forget that you have been offering this subject since late last year and your examiner is Wei Liang. Hahaha, remember we were playing on Yahoo! and you said you could write an essay on it. Your deadline for the first draft was 3 months ago. I hope you've handed it in, otherwise you will score an 'Abs' grade for it]


HUMOUR
Candidates offering H2 Humour will be exposed to various forms of jokes ranging from Blonde jokes and knock-knock jokes (even though they are not funny but they are worth exploring) to simple lame jokes which can produce millions of answers like 'Why did the chicken cross the road?' The jokes will be explored in depth and devices used for crafting various types of jokes will be taught. Finally, candidates will also get to involve themselves with modern jokes. The weightage of the paper will be as follows:

50% - Data response questions. Candidates will be provided with a few sources (jokes) and they will have to analyze them in order to answer the questions.

50% - Structured essay questions. Candidates will be required to answer 2 structured essay questions from different topics.

For example:
a) What are some of the reasons that Yo Mama jokes are being used when people tell jokes as compared to other jokes that you have studied? [10] (point-marked)
b) Craft a Yo Mama joke. NOTE THAT PLAGIARISM IS A SERIOUS OFFENCE. YOU MAY BE AWARDED NO MARKS FOR USING OTHER PEOPLE'S CONTENT. [15] (level-marked)

Marking scheme for (b):
0 marks - Nothing written or plagiarised material
1-2 marks - Joke has no relevance to question.
3-7 marks - Poor attempt in telling a joke. Not funny. Marker cannot laugh even though he/she tries to tickle himself/herself.
8-11 marks - Some attempt in telling a joke. Slightly funny. Poor use of devices to craft a joke. May have errors in grammar.
12-13 marks - Good attempt in telling a joke. Very funny, however some devices are lacking which may possibly help to make the joke funnier.
14-15 marks - Excellent attempt. Marker tears when he/she reads the joke for laughing too hard. Good use of devices.


Example topic:
Modern jokes - learning outcomes
a) Introduction
b) Elements of modern jokes
c) How to make use of devices
d) Uses in society
e) Criticism in the society

Unfortunately, H3 Humour is not yet offered.

Classroom chairs should have the rubber soles stuck to the legs so that they don't make the irritating screechy sound. It gives one an earache whenever someone stands up and unintentionally drags the chair along, setting off an avalanche of comments like 'WAH' and 'tsk!'

Just had a chemistry lecture test yesterday. Questions were okay, the time allowed was not. I didn't have time to finish the paper and the worst thing is that I had no time to check for careless mistakes, which I made quite a lot. Luckily I didn't fail the test, but I felt that I did not really tried my best. I need to work harder next time :D. Write faster I guess.

Talking about writing faster, I also had a Geography in-lecture essay on Tuesday. Oh man I think many people died because they could not write very fast. In VS, they trained us to write very fast. 1 point in 1 paragraph under 2 minutes. Why bother challenging typing speed? Challenge writing speed instead ;)

Watch this video btw, a prank call on a telemarketer. [link] (from Hong Aik's blog)

As expected, we won the horny night :). Thanks to all the tenors for staying back yesterday for rehearsal, and especially Wayne and Keith for coming up with the script! We must retain our title next year. I pity the basses because they actually have something nice to show but they were not really very prepared, and I couldn't hear some parts. As for the girls, I think their skits were quite funny, but lame, because they claimed to be doing something sick behind the blanket, but when revealed, they were actually doing something else. Hahah. We tenors are more direct...


[empty bottle]
(to the tune of Masquerade)
Masturbate,
This is something we can make.
Masturbate,
This is very natural and it is exciting!
There!
[bottle filled with white liquid]


(to the tune of Gaudete)
People say I attract flies
But it's just a bunch of lies
Can't you see I'm very nice
I can make you mesmerised!


... and they live hornily ever after.

I'm lazy to write about the cycling trip with Wei Liang, Ryan and Jun Yuan, the VSchoir practice, the Maths Olympiad training and the VJchoir practice with the NDP guy leaving his coffeeshop opened.

I'll just post a video I saw on Kwok Cheung's blog. Turn up your speakers (and remember to set your MSN status to Busy first!).

Happy August.

Today during class Ernest was showing me an old trick using a $2 note where you fold the face of the 1st President and you can see him smiling and frowning at different angles. Didn't see this for quite long already so I had a good laugh. Ernest said I was crazy for laughing so much, but when I showed Shi Wei that, he laughed more than me! Then the money got passed around quickly and everyone was laughing at it, haha. I was laughing at them laughing.

I also showed the protractor casing (refer to March 21 post) to some people. Didn't know that many people were still laughing over it even though I have shown before.

I didn't know Miss Yeo can be so lame. She was teaching us macromoleculars and she said a rectangle can be used to represent CxHy bonds. We cannot use it for drawing the full structural formula though, because according to her:
You will get zero if you draw a rectangle. That's because a circle is the next pattern after a rectangle.

(During Physics lesson Mrs Setho was teaching us the chapter on Cathode Ray Oscillope)

[Mrs Setho]: An electron gun shoots out electrons, just like a water gun which shoots out water.
(After a while, Mrs Setho saw Jun Yuan laughing)

[Mrs Setho]: Jun Yuan, why are you so funny?
[Kenn] (answering for Jun Yuan): Ma'am, you said an electron gun shoots out electrons and a water gun shoots out water right?
[Mrs Setho]: Yah.
[Kenn]: ... then what does a machine gun shoots out?
(laughter from class)

[Wei Kai]: Kenn, you are damn lame leh.
[Kenn]: Wei Kai... ... hand gun!
(more hysterical laughter from class)


Finished Biology SPA yesterday. The experiment was very easy, because all the instructions were given step by step. However, I still have Physics SPA next Monday/Tuesday because it is somewhat like a make-up for the last Physics SPA that we had, since we all did not do well. And also, I heard that MOE does not like the way the school gave us the Biology and Physics SPAs because titles like "Tabulations", "Key Source of Error" and "Conclusion" were written for us. MOE says this should not be the case, instead we should be given a blank piece of paper for the recording of everything, like those in Chemistry. Hence what heppens is that the whole sec 4s got penalised on the SPAs that we took which had these titles.

Today when I went to the Physics Lab I saw a figurine (with head, body, legs, eyes, ears, everything, quite nice though not very neat) made of blu-tac, "sitting" on a block of wood. Some of us thought some creative/naughty student from other classes did that.

Then Mrs Setho suddenly said, "Guess who did that." We shrugged our shoulders.

"Mr Imran," she replied.

I lost my protractor some day during the holidays, so I went to the school bookstore to buy a new one. Unfortunately, all they have was protractors or set squares manufactured by Ahkan. I was warned by Mr Pang that Ahkan's protractors are not good because their accuracy is quite off. So in the end, I just bought one protractor yesterday at a shop below my house.

This morning I was looking at my protractor along with its plastic case, and I realised that there were some "matters needing attention" written at the back of the protractor casing. Lucky this was made in China, otherwise I wouldn't have known the meaning of those without the Chinese words. The picture to the left is the scanned picture of the cover.

Haha other people from my class were having quite a nice time laughing at the language. I think the company just went to some translator online and bluff their way through.

During recess I was quite sian, so I anyhow doodled on the whiteboard and eventually came to this (extended version):
To prove that graphs do not exist

Start off with integration...
∫(x2 + 4x + 3) dx
= ∫x2 dx + ∫4x dx + ∫3 dx
= (x3/3 + c) + (2x2 + c) + (3x + c), where c is the arbitrary constant[1]
= x3/3 - 2x2 + 3x + c + c + c -------- (1)
= x3/3 - 2x2 + 3x + c -------- (2) (because arbitrary constants do not add up)

Let's take (1) minus (2):
c + c + c - c = 0 (since they are equal)
2c = 0
c = 0

Now let's have a linear equation:
y = mx + c -------- (3)

and Einstein's famous formula[2]
e = mc2

Converted into:
m = e/c2 -------- (4)

Sub (4) into (3):
y = (e/c2)*x + c
y = ex/c2 + c3/c2
y = (ex + c3) / c2
yc2 = ex + c3

Because c = 0 as proven earlier,
0 = ex + 0
ex = 0
e = 0 or x = 0

Now we know e = 0 is not applicable because e = 2.718... [3]
Therefore, x = 0.

Sub x = 0 and c = 0 into (3):
y = 0 + 0
y = 0

Therefore, x = 0, y = 0 for any values of m, and for any given equations.

Epilogue: Because x = y = 0 for everything, graphs do not exist. If you start drawing a line on the graph paper, I would use THIS proof to tell you that you are doing the wrong thing. Perhaps the only thing you can mess with on the graph paper is drawing the axes and maybe drawing the origin only, since x = y = 0.


Oh by the way, I call this "rubbish", and when Mr Pang saw this on the whiteboard, he calls this "nonsense".

Last week, Principal gave everyone a photocopied newspaper article on an ex-gaming addict. He spoke to us about this article somewhere last month as well, while he was revealing the past year 'O' level results to us (and when we had tremendous stress). So everyone had a nice nice big A3 size article about this:
Confessions of an ex-gaming junkie

Benjamin Toh was active in school until he became addicted to Maple Story, an online fantasy game. He spent hours playing the game, neglected his studies and eventually had to stay back in Secondary 3. The 17-year-old, who is from a top boys' school, looks back and tells Tessa Wong what went wrong.

"I HAVE been a gaming fanatic since my primary school days. I started with games like Red Alert and when I got older I got hooked on massive multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPG).

But my serious addiction started two years ago, with a game called Maple Story. It is a fantasy game where you can battle monsters and go on quests. My schoolmates introduced me to it in the middle of 2004, when I was in Secondary 2. I went home that day and immediately downloaded the programme and started playing it on my laptop. I just could not stop.

By the time I was in Secondary 3, I was rushing home from school and locking myself in my room to play it, often all the way up to midnight. Sometimes, I would play for over 10 hours a day, taking breaks only to go to the toilet or to gobble up my food.

My father is a logistics manager and my mother is an administrative assistant, and I am an only child with my own room. When they returned home at about 6pm, I would usually be playing Maple Story. They would tell me at least once a day to stop playing so much, but I ignored them. Back then, all I could think of was having fun.

My addiction was at its worst during school holidays. I have played up to 24 hours straight. Sometimes I would play up to 6am, then wake up at 3pm and continue to play again. I was also spending quite a bit of money on the game. I spent over $600 on Maple Story prepaid cards, which you can buy from 7-11 to redeem "cash items" in the online game. I skipped meals in school to save up for that.

I really became a totally different person.

Before this, I used to run in competitions and win medals. I was in the National Police Cadet Corps. But after I got addicted, I gave up almost all these things. I did not really have a social life too. My friends would call me about two or three times a day to ask me to hang out with them, but I kept rejecting them to stay at home to play Maple Story. They gradually stopped inviting me. But I didn't care, I was concentrating on playing my game.

Maybe it was part of growing up too, I was being rebellious. The more people don't want you to do something, the more you want to do it. My mother kept saying that if I continued playing I wouldn't do as well in my studies as other boys, but I just ignored her.

A lot of my older friends were playing it and I wanted to join them online. But they were already in polytechnics and had more time, I forgot that I still had secondary school to worry about, that I had to start preparing for my O-levels.

I started failing tests in the middle of 2005. I used to get about 60 upon 100 for my tests, then my marks dropped to around 30 upon 100 for nearly all of my subject tests.

It was dangerous, I felt I was losing direction in my life even though I was still happy-go-lucky during my exams, and continued playing a lot. It was only when my teachers announced that a number of students wouldn't graduate to Secondary 4 that I started worrying. Then I got my report card: I had passed only two subjects, English and Higher Chinese, out of seven. I had to repeat my Secondary 3. I was really depressed, and my parents were very upset.

My vice-principal said that she wanted to help push me to the next level, but I more or less made the choice to be retained. I realised that my studies were weak, and that I really wanted to get my foundation for Secondary 4 right.

Getting that report card was an eye-opening experience. I realised that I had to get over my addiction, and I just gradually stopped playing so much.

Other people helped too: My friends helped by refusing to play with me online, and my parents would confiscate my laptop sometimes. I have a new computer now, but I play only Maple Story and this other MMORPG called Audition for about two hours a day.

Life has been much better since I cut down. At the end of last year, I passed all my seven subjects and made it to Secondary 4. For most of the subjects I scored 60 upon 100 and in some I even scored 70 upon 100. Now, I also hang out with lots of new friends instead of being cooped up at home.

I am not really ashamed that I was so addicted. I still think playing MMORPG is okay, just that you really should not play it too much. You end up sacrificing a lot of time which could be spent with your family or doing constructive things. You end up throwing your life away on a game and it is just not worth it.


I guess this article won't apply to us, because being in a mugging class, no one plays Maple Story (I think only Alvin does, though). Like what Mrs Setho (Physics teacher) likes to say, "I am worried for you all, not because you all don't study, but because you all study too much." Haha. So, so far 3 of these articles have been pasted up on the notice board, each one edited in its own way. So one of the edited versions was:

Confessions of an ex-gaming mugging junkie

Benjamin Toh was active in school until he became addicted to Maple Story A-Maths, an online fantasy game a branch of Mathematics. He spent hours playing the game studying A-Maths, neglected his studies social life and eventually had to stay back in Secondary 3 jump straight to university. The 17-year-old, who is from a top boys' school, looks back and tells Tessa Wong what went wrong.

"I HAVE been a gaming fanatic diehard mugger since my primary school days. I started with games subjects like Red Alert Maths and when I got older I got hooked on massive multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPG) to harder and more challenging topics like solving quartic equations.

But my serious addiction started two years ago, with a game subject called Maple Story Additional Mathematics. It is a fantasy game subject where you can battle monsters solve equations and go on quests prove theorems. My schoolmates introduced me to it in the middle of 2004, when I was in Secondary 2. I went home that day and immediately downloaded the programme doing research and started playing it on my laptop studying. I just could not stop.

A lot of my older friends were playing learning it and I wanted to join them online in the library. But they were already in polytechnics and had more time, I forgot that I still had was in secondary school to worry about, that I had to start preparing and needed to relax for my O-levels.

I started failing achieving full marks in my tests in the middle of 2005. I used to get about 60 90 upon 100 for my tests, then my marks dropped increased to around 30 98 upon 100 for nearly all of my subject tests.

I had to repeat my Secondary 3 move up to university. I was really depressed, and my parents were very upset.

My vice-principal said that she wanted to help push me to the next level retain, but I more or less made the choice to be retained study less. I realised that my studies were weak too strong, and that I really wanted to get my foundation relax for Secondary 4 right.

Other people helped too: My friends helped by refusing to play study with me online, and my parents would confiscate my laptop textbook sometimes. I have a new computer textbook now, but I play study only Maple Story trigonometry and this other MMORPG branch of Mathematics called Audition Calculus for about two hours a day.

Life has been much better since I cut down. At the end of last year, I passed all my only seven subjects and made it to had to retain in Secondary 4. For most of the subjects I scored 60 80 upon 100 and in some I even scored 70 upon 100. Now, I also hang out with lots of new friends instead of being cooped up at home.

You end up sacrificing a lot of time which could be spent with your family or doing constructive things. You end up throwing your life away on a game subject and it is just not worth it.

In my country there is problem - link
A Jewish comedian/singer insulting Jews.

No Pork! - link
Okay this is a very offensive audio whereby 2 guys ka-jiao a Halal store waiter with pork. This has been around in the Internet for quite long already and YouTube has been removing a lot of these similar videos, and currently this video is still available. Go watch it before YouTube removes it.

Watching these 2 videos remind me of a comedian I had been quite crazy about in primary 6: Stephen Lynch! Haha. This is the first video I watched from him. It's a 20-min long video featuring 6 songs.
Comedy Central Presents - Stephen Lynch


The first 2 videos were introduced by Jing Yang and Ernest respectively while we were chatting online last night. And we were like saying that the Chemistry online test didn't work. Our whole level has this online Chemistry test and every weekend has 1 different test. We have to submit every Sunday midnight. Unfortunate thing is that all the tests are counted for 20% of SA. Fortunately, SA is 0% of Prelims or "O" levels. Haha.

Yeah and so apparently it doesn't seem to be working because I have more than 10 friends asking me what to do. Panic! Ahhh. Anyway this is the conversation between Ernest, Jing Yang and I.

[Ernest]: What will happen to the tests?
[Me]: Full marks for all of them? Haha.
[Jing Yang]: If whole level gets full marks then our class is at the losing end.
[Ernest, me]: LOL!

One day I was surfing the web when I came across a video. Very funny. The "students" have to watch a video of someone learning English, and if they laugh, they will be whacked. [link]

From the comments made by other people, I learned that the "students" are actually comedians who are in a game show. So after watching that I went to search for other related videos, probably from the same series as this. Not bad, my search was quite fruitful. I just put a few that I find funny.

Bathroom surprise - not allowed to laugh. [link]

Fart in water - again, not allowed to laugh. [link]

Hamada arrives - the "teacher" is actually a player but he won some "electric shock" game, so he did not receive as much punishment as the others. [link]

One of the High School Series [a b c]

Silent Library Series - okay this time they are allowed to laugh but because they are in the library, they cannot laugh too loud. The loser for each round will have to do the action stated in the paper, while refraining from making too much noise. Some of the actions are in Japanese only, but you can more or less guessed that they are quite unpleasant. [1a 1b, 2, 3] *[4a 4b]

24-hour durable punishment - 4 people stuck in a room for 24 hours. Must escape when a devil appears, otherwise they would be punished. [a b c d e f]

Punishment in a haunted house - Everyone trying to scare Matsumoto, including Hamada, but in the end it backfired. [link] *Full version [a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p ]


Do feel free to go click on those under "related videos", most of them shouldn't be as funny as these. Haha. Enjoy.
