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!

Editted
Sunday March 15, 2009
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!

How FAT i am!

After and Before
Sorry, i don't have any picture that I was alone! (just kidding-actually i just have a few but all of them were taken accidentally)
Can see see the difference?

I tried to diet but i failed!

Finally, i realized that i'm not good in THEORY!

Today, i received my CHEMISTRY test 1 paper and results.
I just score 34/40 and this mark has caused me lost 3% for the final.

Overall, i have lost 4.2%.

1.2% from the quiz 1. This also means that there is 100% i can't get chemistry gcpa 4.00(I WANT IT) for this semester. What should i do?

I did wrong almost all theory questions {about 4 question, about the function of acid, the van de waal's equation, the decomposition of calcium chloride and also the functions of something(I FORGOT)} and i answered correctly for all calculation questions.

A Bad news for me, from chapter 6 ahead, the chemistry lessons are all Theory!

I'm going to commit suicide---die---! {ignore this statement}

For calculus as well, i failed to memorize all theories or i am supposed to say I don't understand THOSE theories... HELP ME...

if one is Good in calculations doesn't mean he or she is good in Math.

MATHEMATICS--without knowing and understanding the theories, you won't go far from the border line.


Now, read the theories, understand the theories, apply the theories and lastly sleep in the "coffin" with the theories!


Gtg... Study calculus!-- A BIG LIE

I just come back from MYDIN

My initial purpose went to Mydin was to buy an umbrella. However, i went back with 2 plastic bags without any umbrella inside them.

I spent about 1 hours shopping in the Mydin. I felt relax and I was trying to avoid myself to think about my assignments and presentations.

I DID IT.

Sometimes, shopping alone makes me feel great!

I was sleeping until 9.00p.m after coming back from dinner about 6.00p.m.

After i finish arranging my newly-brought food, i want to study chemistry!

One word: Again!

I failed to give an impressive speech AGAIN!

Today, i planned to make a difference by wearing my denture and new pair of shoes. However, the outcome didn't make a difference. It's still at the same level!

I practised my speech last night in front of the mirrors~the hall is equipped with mirrors at all sides~(Upstair of study room) alone. ~SCARY~

HOWEVER

My point is my efforts were useless. I didn't manage to reduce my nervousness and I also forgot my scripts.

"Pick your favorite color to be the front face and it will remain FACE for the entire process." This was very important line to ensure that they didn't get blurred.

...HAIZ...

As the results of my mistakes, i were "rewarded" to solve the cubeS.

Informative speech, persuasive speech, acs american holiday presentation, appreciation of music, forum, advertisement presentation, oral presentation, etc.....


---DIE---


HOPE FOR THE BEST
PREPARE FOR THE WORST

My This semester gcpa surely will be lower than last semester.

How could i manage to get in better university without better gcpa?

This week will be more relax compared to last hectic week. However, it might not be as relax as i thought!

To be continued......

Random but meaningful post!

Wei Mei called me today and i felt that finally i could talk whatever i would like to express. I could talk deeper and deeper without considering others might not understand me. Thank, Wei Mei.

Next.. Another very supportive friend, Heyday!

She called me too after receiving a SMS from me. I told her about the Olympiad Math and she was in blank about that. Thus, she called me.

WE were Communicating in English. That was the first time i talked with her in English. Fortunately, she got what i meant! Thank for giving me good advice and good luck for everything!

I need to sleep now as i need to present my demonstrative speech today!

My Life as A Landoverian

I shall start with a popular maxim.

The original maxim goes like this:

"Don't judge a book by its cover!"

After paraphrasing it, it will go like this:-

"Don't judge Landoverians by their external appearances!"

When stepping in the class at the first time, my mind just got one word, "Bookworms". (Actually i got another word here, but it's not suitable anymore for this semester)

Now, many words can be used to describe Landoverians.
Landover Spring 2009 is the melting pot of people with different characteristics. Landover has a "sissy" but "handsome" if he were "straight" class rep. Landover has created a lot of rumours.

Landoverians are been isolated by (KMNO4)-Potassium permanganate- What a coincidence!(But we have fun!--Chemistry Lecture) -

One more, coming soon, engineering field trip--Dutchlady! Landover has a lot of creative students.

However, i am just the acquaintance to most of my classmates. Some of them i have not even remembered their full name. Some of them i have not even cooperated with them. Some of them i have not even have their email addresses. Some of them i might have just say "HI" and "BYE".

I hope i will have a better introductory speech for coming semesters.

Quoting from one of my classmates,
"Siew La, you know what? Actually, you are cool!" (Sorry if the structure and organization of the sentence are wrong!)

To whom it might be concerned, i'm not as quiet as you thought and i can be talkative till the level of infinity. You can't even imagine that. Now, i have to admit that i'm quiet because i'm scare to talk in English. I'm scare i will pronounce something wrong. I'm scare you all don't get what i mean. I'm scare everything go wrong. {I know to get the skills we need practises!}

I have to tell something first before we proceed to next point, i have communication problems especially in English since i was a child. For eXample, when i pronounced "calculator", my friends would asked me to repeat it again and again. Thus, during my primary and secondary school, i try to reduce my conversation in English. What a coward i was! Now, i am forced to talk in English, there is no way to avoid it as i'm going to the USA!

--the below are the words that i always pronounce wrong during my high school--
Calculator, photostate, false, nearly all the words ended with "-te", almost all long words, ordinary, etc....

I appreciated my friends who have noticed my weaknesses and try to correct them although they have failed.

To Landoverians, i hope that you all will tell me when i pronounce wrong. I promise i won't be angry.

I won't talk about the fleming steamboat as Wahid has elaboration all in details in his post, this is the link.

Okay, enough for the 1st post in March!
