I WANT TO COMPLAIN!!!!

ANDERSON JUNIOR COLLEGE, WHERE ARE MY RIGHTS?

I paid $1 for this tiny insignificant plastic "ear cap"(which are in great supply; no scarcity what-so-ever) AND a slip of paper which had my temperature written on. What's infuriating is that they threw my expensive plastic ear cap away!! WITHOUT asking me. AND I was the one who paid for it. Ain't fair right???

Stupid swine flu. I hope you go extinct soon.

AND I PROPOSE ALL FUTURE THERMOMETERS TO OPERATE ON AAA BATTERIES. THANK U.

Re: PW, miscellaneous

This. Is. Revenge. For. Not. Signing. The. Petition.

For the clueless, this is MISS LXL's favourite monkey.

PW
You should have received a copy of the template today. There's a soft copy of it available on IVLE. You "MUST fill up this template using (your) existing PI before coming for consultations This is to ensure (you) have tried to think through (your) ideas, & the links between (your) ideas as well."

Another thing. Please ATTEMPT to hand in your THIRD drafts by TUESDAY (280409). Do try to hand in on MONDAY if possible though.

Also, for those who signed up for (new) consultations with MISS LEE, you are encouraged to come with a "fourth" draft. She will NOT mark it, but she can give you opinions on it DURING the consultation. For those who have yet to sign up for a PW date with her, please do so ASAP.

Lastly, there's this copy of "GROUP PROJECT PROPOSAL LECTURE PPT" with me. If you want it, I can photocopy it for you, but it's NOT FREE. I'll scan a copy of it and upload it here ASAP when I have found the software to install my scanner. If not, I'll pass it around on Monday. Please pass me your order on Monday too.

Anyway, congratulations to the FIVE (Han Xu, Chuan En, Penelope, Liang Ee, Titus) mentioned names whom MISS LEE praised.... Heehee. So, can you help those who need help? PLEEEEZE?? Thank you!! : D


MISCELLANEOUS
Anyway, I'd like to de-generalise the population here. Partly for the sake of those Unheards who prefer to keep their opinions to themselves or only share them during private chit-chat sessions. I believe MOST of us have worked hard and tried our best -- school-wise, during PE, sleep-wise, diet-wise, etc-- that some have worked especially hard these few days (it's like we are preparing for O Levels, that's my opinion anyway.)
Some slept at 2am. Some woke up at 4am to work.
Maybe the results are not what they should have been, but most importantly, we have tried (been there, done that). And we shall learn from our mistakes or from wherever (that's why we study History: to learn from another person's mistakes, but in our case, we are studying idiotic idiots of the past. Hehh Ms Ng, don't kill me. I just have personal grudges against those amazing leaders. And it also shows I have been paying attention during your lessons. HEEHEEEHEEE). With imperfections come greater enjoyment and relish as we achieve success in the future. And maybe we are still adapting to this new life. So, there. Lets not give up or be discouraged by any undesirable results. No personal attack here on anyone by the way. I'm a SUPER NICE monkey horr.

Anyway, darlings, keep holding on. Love that song.

Also, 3709 would like to thank MS NG, MISS LEE sr, MR TAN, MS USHA, MS ZOBEL, MS TOH, MS LIM, the Chinese and Malay teachers for their effort, love, concern, praises, encouragement and food. THANK YOU! <3 (this is done on the behalf of 3709. Anything offending or inappropriate, I apologise.) YAYYY!

She is mine by the way. You gotta catch up with me. heeheehahah.. private joke anyway. gotta stop writing. i have this assumption that this is my own blog. hmmm feel free to edit this post under your name. not mine or my monkey's. delete it if it's offending.



Fallen, but
Faith
Fixed it.


Love,
the Underpaid student

hah. as compared to those people below me, i bear good news!


i'm proposing a class outing during the holidays, to go Shalini's house for a BARBEQUE. it'll be fun! the details will follow soon after, but please support the idea! soooooooooooooooooo long since we had a class outing! unacceptable! must go ah!


In response to the prep-talk the teachers gave us through the class leaders, i feel bad. ):

i haven't been doing my work... and i feel that the teachers were right. we should work harder.

but our class also rocks and is unique cos we're a bunch of slackers :P

so we should strike a balance! work hard, but play just as hard!







i dont know why I'M saying this. so hypocrite. ai yoh. guess i'd have to work harder too... bleagh.



tie-boy...hees!

PW

Heehee..

MISS LEE jr here. This is what's happening:

1.EVERYONE has to do a third draft. Submit by the following MONDAY or TUESDAY.
2. Please try to book a slot with MISS LEE XUE LING. Each group must have at least TWO people. It'll be an one-hour slot. We must all see her at least once. Those who have seen her can also sign up again.

3. I'll repeat what we were supposed to do this morning:
Work on critiquing each other's PI. Focus on (i) explicitly linking features of part eg to lessons learnt. Lessons MUST be drawn from key features. (ii) developing INSIGHTFUL strategies. When applying lesson learnt to the new eg, must have concrete details.

Hopefully, ALL of us will get it right this time. Feel the heat already?

Drink up more then. Try not to fall sick worr.

Anyway, I want to thk Liang Ee and Shalini for being my printers :D And Gran for a phone call I make with his phone and for sparing my life. Heeheee...

OH! And not to forget, THANK U to all teachers who are concerned with our mental health and studies. Heeeeheee =)

Also, this will be my last post under this pseudonym (of MISS LEE jr) due to complains of false alarms and hurt feeelings. Sorry to those who are unfortunately affected. I'll be a nice monkey next time. So, there. Hold those bananas. And if some of you think I should continue with this pseudonym, please sign a petition.

ok, gotta cut da crap. must prepare for HISTORY "test".

A song dedication (My Chemical Romance's FAMOUS LAST WORDS)to all my monkeys in 3709. "If you don't like it, so be it."HEEEHEEHEE xD


hee hee...

Literature - work for next week

Hi all,

Here are some instructions that were given to me along with the survey forms:

1) Paper 1 Pair Presentations are to be pushed back by one lesson. In other words, we're beginning during the second lesson next week. Hopefully that gives ample time to prepare? The first lesson will be given over to wrapping up the Temptation versus Oblivion contrast and discussions of the pair poems.

2) For Paper 5: prepare some research and notes (in your Paper 5 journals, please) on the poems Cinderella and Lady Lazarus. Deadline is the next Paper 5 tutorial.


~~~~~~~~~~
Also, as promised to the remedial folks, here's the poems to focus on for the coming sessions:

Week 5: Like as the waves...
Week 6: The Time of Year versus Death Be Not Proud.


~~~~~~~~~~
That's all folks; have a good weekend ahead!

(P.S. DON'T forget your Emerging vs I Wake To Feel [...] assignment!)

Yours,
Penny ^_^

Literature housekeeping matters

Hi all!

Just to recap the Lit announcements:


1) Paper 1 Assignment:
Compare and contrast Emerging by R.S. Thomas with I Wake And Feel The Fell Of Dark, Not Day by G.M. Hopkins. Consider carefully the way religion is presented through each poet's language, form and style.
DEADLINE: end of this week (noon, Friday 17 April).

2) Pair Presentation
- begins T2W5 (next week! *gasp*); WILL be graded
- After each presentation, each pair will work on feedback given and submit ONE written essay on the pair of poems presented (it's pair work, and marks will be given. It also counts towards the term's assignment quota.)

TO DO:
- form pairs and sign up for poems by end of this week. I have the sign-up sheet (with the list of poems) so do approach me about this. The ones who sign up for the Week 5 poems MUST begin their work on the presentation.
- Prepare your presentation offline and prepare notes / templates for presentation.
- Make a copy of your presentation notes for the whole class!

3) Remedial
The people who are down for remedial beginning this Friday are Yiling, Rachel, Anna, Vaish, Bryan, Pang Yi and Zuhaili. The first four are to go for the 12.15pm slot while the remaining three go for the 1.15pm slot. (And boys, there'll be someone from another class in your slot; make sure to involve her in the discussions, if any.) Remember: attendance will be taken.

4) Supplementary lessons
In Week 5 and 7; venue to be determined. All who scored 8 or 9 or below for the Forsaken Wife assignment are to attend; the invitation is open to others as well. The focus is on issues relating to Women in Literature for the tutorial passages done in class.
- Passages for Week 5: The Forsaken Wife, Emily of Emerald Hill
- Passages for Week 7: Girl, The Story of an Hour


Yep, that's about it. Please bear these in mind ^_^

See you in school tomorrow!
Penny

Update.

Hey, guys! Hope family day was a blast for you! I know it was to my feet :X
Anywhoo, this post is actually to update you guys on HOMEWORK. So I'm just gonna get down to it(:

HOMEWORK DUE TOMORROW:

- Math Review 2 (do as much as possible, I suppose)
- MT hw
- Complete the worksheet on honor for GP
- 'Girl' for Lit (submit online).

Yep. That should be it for tmrw.

However, we still have to finish the extensive PW research on ONE sub-topic (eg: conservation -> buildings -> Taj Mahal) and History tutorial FIVE by Wednesday.

For Econs, I think we have to re-write our essay outlines back into the WS given, but I'm not too sure. Will check with Miss Lee and get back to you(: We also have to finish the 'Elasticity of Demand' WS for Econs. Yep(:

That's all on hw!
Have a good 'holiday'!

<3
Shali

wah.


Pakistani men. Why they like that. So evil. Smear the name of men. What will happen to righteous, truly honorable guys in our class? We are not like that! And yet, now i live perpetually in fear of Shalini for she seems unnaturally happy about a girl stabbing her boyfriend 46 times.

SOMEONE in our class should watch out. Z... ahem.

Stabby Stab Stab.




Eh, family day. Monkey girl suggested we have dinner together after it, for those who didn't hear just now. Uh.


Oh, and the canceled Econs lesson just now will be made up for in week 5. Miss LXL had to meet the evaluators so she couldn't make it, in case you were wondering about why it was canceled.




And I love Vincent. If you are in support of us, please tag! <3

Tie-Boy.

Pedro's crazy ideas for Family Day

HEY YOU CRAZY KIDS!

Pedro has a stinking wild idea bound to make people throw their shoes at him.

he needs....
-a bamboo pole at least 1.2m long.
-brown (light brown) duct tape.
-black (superstrong) duct tape.
-ALL your stinking old newspapers that have no use since they're too old for GP.

From there, we can wrap the newspaper along the pole and use the strong tape to make sure its fastened. Pedro will demo himself when the time comes. Finally, after everything, we will bundle and cover up all the newspaper with the brownish duct tape to give it a semi-satay color. Warning, this color may be unglam, due to the reflections which the brown duct tape may produce when exposed to light. Another option is that we use masking tape to wrap the newspaper and (spam) paint it...

any brighter ideas//suggestions? Please tell us asap. Our time is running out.
