April Fool

Actually, i have no mood to write this post.
*I WANT TO SHOUT~

My blog is a place to express my anger and to relieve my tension.

I am under pressure now. Thinking of my calculus, thinking of my chemistry, thinking of my coming presentations..........etc........

In short, i am worrying about my final GCPA!

Although i am not the "First year fly" jpa scholars, I need a better GCPA so that i can get into better college or university such as

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I have checked the requirement for transfer students. GCPA at least 3.5 for mechanical engineering applicants!

My dream is going to the grave soon!

3.5? Is that possible?

If i can't really get into "better" school, i should change my perspective of life that i'm not good enough.

Should i consider Purdue, Stevens, RIT or LeHigh?

Yes, i must!

Those might be the "safe" schools for me!

Am i too egoistic?

Maybe!

Today i went to Sunway Piramid together with my Ko-pln group members for our dinner.

I learned a lot from Katherine, thank you!

Congratulations to my "First year fly" friends who get into ivies!

I'm proud to be your friend.

"I want to be different in a very different way!"

No comment for my hectic weeks! I wanna do my assignment now!

Emo-12th Post-Last Post of The Month-March

This post will be the last post of this Month. I decided to do so because of my bad performance in academics recently. 

My points of view towards Mid-term Exam Results
(Starting from the worst subject to the most unexpected excellent subject)

American Cultural Studies
-I didn't expect that i would get C+ for my ACS.
-I am very sad with that results.
-Undeniable, i cried when someone told me my results.
-I had tried my best in the Short Story Review.
-Thus, i assume that i got C+ because of my Oregon Tourism Convention Presentation.
-My presentation was sucked as i mispronounced the "Oregon". 
-Besides, i was simply reading the notes on the Slides and i was very nervous.
-I will ask Miss S.A the reasons I got C+ for ACS and how to improve the grade if I AM DARE ENOUGH to ask her. (Implanting my courageness now)-I really don't want C to be appeared in my final grade. 
-I have broken the record of myself by scoring the First C in INTEC . (SAD)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Short Story Review
-If this is the reason for the C+, .......................................(Someone please help me to complete the sentence.)
-I had editted for at least three times for question 2 and 3. 
-I admit that i did final editting during Mr. K's class. 
-I misinterpreted what Mr. K meant, thus i did ACS during his lecture.
-IF final editting is considered as last minute work, then it's my fault for not understood the phrases well.
(I'm sorry)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
-For ACS, i still have 2 presentations and 1 test. (40%) 
C+ --- 77-->79
Let's us considered my mark as 78. 
78 marks converts to 60% is 46.8%.
That means i have lost 13.2 marks out of 100 marks. (86.8%)
That also means the highest grade i might get is B in the final. (If and only If i score full mark for next presentations and test.)-Impossible!

Thus, the conclusion is the biggest posibility of grade that i will get for final is C+. (If i managed to maintain my performance.)

Improve, improve and improve!
Please, Siew La. ( Don't let your ACS's grade lower down) What a shame!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fundamentals of Critical Thinking and Advanced Composition (Two different lecturers*)
-B(83-86)-Let's us considered my marks as 84. (Below are my assumptions only.)
-CT(I have lost 9.6 marks out of 100)--Two more presentations-40%- 
-AC(I have lost 11.2 marks out of 100)--One more presentation and one more essay-30%-
CT-I must improve myself in language and also my thinking skill. 
AC-I should improve myself in delivering ideas(Why? Oral Presentation is the answer)
--The results of both subjects were expectable.
--Thus, what should i do? One Word-IMPROVE-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chemistry I, Calculus I and CTES
--B+(87-89) 
--For Chemistry, i have expected that results and I'm not satisfied with my performance. I could do it better if i did less silly and stupid mistakes. I shall not be so confidence! The tagline for me after the break will be "Be humble".
--For Calculus, I'm not so satisfied with my performance too. I'm not sure who should i blame for not understood the theories and concepts. My calculus performance is getting worse day by day. I performed bad in Test 2 and that has caused me to forget about getting A-, A and impossible A+ for my final grade. 
--Thus, i hope that i can get at least the B+ for the final grade! (Initial dream is A)
--For CTES, I have no idea how the marks given as i just did one presentation. (The grade is same as the final grade of last semester.)
--I can't do the statistics for these three subjects as my performances are not consistent at all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Public Speaking
A-(90-92)
--I'm totally shocked when i knew that i scored A- for PS.
--It seemed Impossible for an uneffective speaker like ME.
--My opinion--maybe because of the marks were only taken from the mid-term examination(Involve HAND only)
--My mouth was not functioned at all during that exam. 
--LOL
--What i meant---It was paper-based test. 
--My presentations for PS were bad and thus i believe my final grade will decrease dramatically.
--I will try my best in two more presentations and also in final exam(another paper-based test).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chemistry(Lab)
A
--I think most of students got the same grade as me or higher.
--Thus, no comment for this subject.
--Tip--Do all the lab reports!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Engineering
A+
WEIRD
--I have no idea about this.
--I'm scare that my final grade will be lower than this. (Surely, it will.)
--The lecturer hasn't watched my video presentation(Omg, i just in the video for less than 3 minutes) and we haven't gone for the field trips and we also haven't sat for final examination.
--Thus, i believe that it's impossible to maintain this very excellent grade!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
In short, some results in this mid-term semester grade are unreliable and surely i will get lower gcpa for this semester.

HOPE FOR THE BEST
PREPARE FOR THE WORST

This post is a journal entry. (Ignore it)

Calculus test 2-I failed to answer more than 60% of the questions.-The failure was not because the questions were tough.-It was because i didn't know the theorems and the differentiation rules.-My tears had come out immediately when the lecturer announced, "Students, Time is out!"-Now, i am EMO and angry with myself.-I didn't know how to find the critical points, inflection points, concavity and so on. (I'm serious!)-I didn't know whether it was because of internal interference or external interference.What should i do?Xiu Le, C'mon , Study! Study! Study!I will have a totally different personality soon, so be prepared!Sorry in advance!I will try to control it!

SPM

12th March 2008, i received my SPM 2007 results with tears! Tears of happiness.
(Now, i am not so happy with my results anymore.)
It means nothing. It doesn't reflect the original standard of me. It was a "fake". Really?
The level of education that i gained is lower than the results i scored. (That's my opinion only). Some scored well because they deserved it, but some scored well because of the luck. (Including myself.)--> The truth has revealed when stepping in INTEC. I am nothing now, not even as the overall top scorer in a particular subject.

Today, my juniors tell me their results. Some of them are happy with their results while some are not so satisfied with their results.

For me, SPM means nothing in the tertiary education. Although even you score straight A1's in SPM, you may not score 4.00 GCPA in your foundation year.

Contradiction:
Although you just score moderate results(5 to 7 A's) in SPM, you could make a difference in your foundation year by scoring 4.00 GCPA. (It's the truth)

That's all.

Best of luck to SPM 2008 leavers either you score well or bad in SPM. It doesn't a matter right now. Study harder and please don't follow my footsteps.

SUFFERING~



Calculus test! (I'm sure that i will not score well this time.) I'm not in the correct track now!

More students excelled in Chinese Language for SPM last year
JOHOR BARU: The increase in the number of students scoring A1 and A2 in Chinese Language in SPM last year should encourage more students to sit for the subject, Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong said.
The increase, from 10% in 2007 to 17.1% last year proved that students were able to score excellent grades in the subject.
Dr Wee said 5.2% of the students had A1 while 11.9% obtained A2 last year compared with only 1.4% who secured A1 and 8.6% A2 in 2007.
“We are encouraging more students to take up the subject as 81% of the candidates had managed to obtain a credit.
“We also hope to maintain a regular number of candidates in the coming years,” he said, adding that the number of candidates had been fluctuating.
Speaking at a press conference after launching the Education Guidance Road Show organised by the MCA Youth Education Bureau, local MCA Youth and Wanita branch and the Johor Baru Tiong Hua Association, Dr Wee said 20% of the Public Services Department scholarships would be given to the top scorers based on merit.
On another issue, Dr Wee said 58 Chinese schools including three conforming schools in Johor were allocated RM5.73mil under the second stimulus package.

Landoverians' Demostrative Speeches


I'm too lazy to post about that.

First, someone has posted about that with details.

This is the
link.

(However, HE didn't post about mine.-Damn you-just joke!)
Maybe i had given such an ineffective speech! HEHE.
IMHO, you all should recall back what i had said about my own speech on that day. So, press this link.

So, now, i would like to post about mine by my own self!

According to someone, i started with loud voice. However, my voice was getting lower and lower. Maybe i was nervous.(Absolutely YES)

Thank to Niro and Fauzan for the pictures.(Only 4)--So unpopular!

Let's look at the pictures......

(What was i doing?) maybe i was trying to reduce my nervous!

(Can you see Carishma there? Why was she suddenly coming out? Weird) Again, when was this picture taken?)
Now, the beginning of the speech!
(Introducing the CUBE)---Lame


After that, no more picture!

Conclusion,

To be a better speaker, capture more pictures of yourselves. (LAME)

I hope i will perform better for my informative speech!

Mr. Kamal is drop dead GORGEOUS!




Let's start with the story:

Once upon a time, a girl from Landover (INTEC) had mispronounced the title of her "Mean but not evil" lecturer, Mrs. K(oops, Mr. K).

This action had led her to write 1000 times of the above statement! The time taken by her to finish the 1000 Club's assignment is about 2 days. Besides, she is also the 8th member of the club.

Landoverians who have already in this club are Kai Jun(The president), Hasif(The most active member), Fauzan(You're right), Riduan (Roger), Khalis(Sia-sia), Charisma(Don't rush), Hanif(READ).



Gorgeous=Beautiful

The Journey to accomplish the task given was started!

Can you notice the changes in my handwritings? Those are 6 pages out of 12 pages that i had written!



















The closer looks!

My handwriting from the best to the doctoral handwriting!

So tired!

However, it doesn't mean Mr. K from drop dead gorgeous to drop dead %$&%.

I'll be more careful when i am talking next time!
