As you should know, today’s Teachers’ Day Eve like DUH, so it doesn’t make sense to start off the blog entry with ‘Today was the Teachers’ Day celebrations’ like everyone else.

The celebrations, to say the least, were decent. There were some interesting videos, BPian Idol standard of singing and band performances (wonderful or horrible, you decide), (and with no offence intended in any case) along with some meaningless dances. But seriously, the songs, videos and stuffs were meaningful and touching (or so claims Mrs Chiang at least), but the dances were totally irrelevant to sending across the ‘Happy Teachers’ Day’ message.

Sorry for being mean. I had to.

The videos are definitely worth commenting on. 5A did quite a good job producing their video (and along with the sec 4s performing and singing, I seriously wonder how they had time to study for their prelims). Digital Media Club was… well, it’s more-or-less the same each year.

Kudos to 3P2’s part of the video, with the wondrously insightful re-enactment of their experience with you-know-who as their form teacher. The impersonation was helluva accurate, if not too accurate for their own good.

I mean, okay. The most memorable Teachers’ Day Celebrations I had in BP was in 2003, when I was a sec 1. A sec 4 class secretly filmed their teachers teaching them, and compiled them into a video, using only the happier and funner moments of the lessons in it. What was impressive was that they actually filmed teachers from Tiger to you-know-who to even Mr Chiam dancing like William Hung. And from what I heard, the teachers weren’t too happy — ‘invasion’ of privacy without their acknowledgements and blah blah blah.

Well, that was that. But in 3P2’s case, they re-enacted the NOT-SO happy and fun moments of their experience with you-know-who. Yupp, the shoutings, screwings, pwning and everything along that line. Pretty darn accurate I tell ya. But well, you-know-who didn’t seem so upset, so I guess its fine. But really, that was quite an impressive risk.

Following that, it was food bazaar, and I would like to thank all astro members for co-operating with me in my hunt for free food. But sorry Hannah, that brown powdery stuff of yours didn’t look too delicious. Maybe it was. =X

Soon it was back in the classrooms having to rot 1h 30 mins away. So… the class of 4T2 got seriously omgwtfbbq1337tehpwnagewickedsickgodlikeunstoppable bored. And so I present to you, Four 16 Year Olds Having Fun:

Yuup, there you have it. Solid documented evidence of how 16 year olds have their, er, fun.

Then I went back to my primary school, and had some seriously fun time with the jokers there who hasn’t changed one bit since primary 6. Not that they should grow up tho, ‘cos their height relative to me hasn’t changed.

Social Studies went alright… not fantastic and not too bad either, although I’m pretty sure it’s more towards the bad side… didn’t finish the paper T___T

And there goes combined humanities down the drain. Bleh.

In happier news, I have totally no idea how I got high distinction for the New South Wales Essay Writing thingy. I can’t imagine how the markers enjoyed reading about Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity.

And in much more interesting news, you-know-who was in my class today, claiming that the teachers had a discussion during one of their meetings on how arrogant 4T2 ST members were. He then added that he thought he was the only teacher with that opinion, and now what sets him apart from the rest is that he feel that ALL ST members are like that. Should I say… Wowee?

The English papers today weren’t too encouraging for a start to the prelims’ written papers.

And Shaun claims that at this rate, he’ll end up at PJC next year. And Huai Ce added that if Shaun goes to PJC, we’ll probably be working at McDonald’s.

All I shall say is… GG.

Chemistry practical went alright, if not quite well actually.

If all goes well, I should be able to get full marks for the acid-base titration. =D

For sec 4s, my value of P (or was it Q?) used was 25.20cm3 and the final calculated mass of Sodium Carbonate added was 5.34g, which Mr Mathew Lim claims is correct.

Buuuut just when I thought I could get a perfect score for the chemistry practicals, seems like I left out a couple of minor things…

-1 mark for not stating that the gas given off extinguishes a lighted splint with a ‘pop’ sound in the test for the Nitrate anion.
-1/2 or 1 mark for not stating in the planning experiment question that I should measure the gas in the gas syringe ONLY when no more effervescence is seen.

And Mr Lim claims thats:

-1 or 2 more marks for not identifying any gas evolved upon the addition of concentrate HCl to R, but I can’t find any other sec 4s who did just that.

And so I shall be ignorant optimistic and assume that I got it right. =P

All the sec 4s are mugging for prelims, you know that, I know that, and if you have a dolphin, it’ll probably know that too.

But what will differentiate people who will get higher marks than me and, er, me? Maybe it would help by saying that I have not done a single piece of social studies homework since… March holidays i think.

And, of course, I received some interesting advice.

you came for me, when i’d lost all hope.. says:
stop muging.
you came for me, when i’d lost all hope.. says:
mugx0r
you came for me, when i’d lost all hope.. says:
gay mugx0rs.

social studies is a waste of time.. said:
u mugging yer ss?
social studies is a waste of time.. said:
pls dont mug.. is a waste of time

Anyways, chemistry practical is tmr, and here ya have it:

(And I can’t read it either)
