This week was nearly fantastic. Today was the release of the O Level Results! And our seniors did EXTREMELY well compared to last year's batch! i was so excited and happy for them, even though they say X=Q or whatever, it may be true, but what more true is that our seniors are all so brilliant and smart! Wenqin was one of the student with significant progress, he got a 6 after the bonus is calculated, i must say that i am shocked by him. And Ang Hong even better, he got a 3 after bonus! And my debate senior Chloe was the top student! Everyone around me did so well, and i must admit that i am really jealous, how i wished i could do equally well if not better than them this year... But the sad thing is, our % A1 for chinese dropped, last year only one b3 and two A2, but this year we have 4 B3 and 4A2. I think it was bcos of the difficulty of our paper, i must agree that it is very tough and getting a b3 or A2 doesnt mean a lack in chinese standard, i must say that i feel very sad for my friends that just wasnt lucky enough, but what can we do, everything has became facts and life just has to go on, so GOOD LUCK to sec 4 pals for our olvls, and to sec1-3, your EOY exams.

Some statistics...xinmin 4e/s got 100% 6 or less o lvl passes, 99.6% of the students qualified for JC, for subjects like english, we got 60% distinction passes, compared to around 20% last year. We are also value adding in most of the other subjects. So WELL DONE Xinmin, i am so proud of you, and hopefully u will be proud of me too in the near future...

Monday
Attended SL meeting early in the morning and found out from yuting the new member of the white shirt system, and was surprised to find many repeat offenders and asked myself, why is it so hard for students of xinmin to tuck in their shirts properly? Its not like asking u to tuck all the way like a nerd, but at least do not let it hang out loosely as if you were just out of bed. It actually makes a person look neater and smarter, why do students nowadays want to look like beggers? But what makes me feel better is the general school population is now better attired, hopefully one day everyone will change their attitude( but i think its impossible...) Mr Singh announced the newly planned late-coming system which i think is very cool: latercomers will take a latecoming slip and return to class, after school they will be detained until 6pm. This is the type if system i like:harsh. xinmin now needs harsh discipline measures to re-inforce discipline, school will become more and more dangerous if more hooligans is around and we cannot allow our students to be influenced by bad companies.

Tuesday
Tuesday morning was quite eventful. i was waiting for junxiang at the keypress, where those white shirt people must report to every morning, and until 7.15am, only a handful came and junxiang was nowhere to be seen, i was so shocked and was wondering what has happened to those white shirt people. As expected, later during the morning assembly, all of them was called out to the front and had an attire check. Mr Ho was on fire that day and made one of them tuck in alllll the way! It may be funny but it is a warning to those students who refuse to be neatly attired: you will be harshly dealt with. Later in class mrs song flushed us with a stream of homework, now my everyday life was filled with A maths and E maths, everyday go home also do maths, I AM GOING TO DIE!

Wednesday
Passed quite fast because i was dismissed at 12.30, then i stayed in class to rush my a maths work, after which i went for exco meeting which ended at 3pm, and relentlessly went for my volleyball training with the sec1 girls, there i realized that i could still set and spike balls! yahoo! but of cos my skill still sucks, but at least i still havent forgotten everything. Out of the coaches order, i made the sec 1s did 100 sit-ups and 50 push-ups, really hard on them to do so many, really feel very evil to have made do it...after all is done i went home expectantly.

Thursday
After PE was A maths test on Differentiation of Rate of Change, and i spent 40 pathetic minutes staring at my test paper, mrs song's qns was very tough and really dunno how to start, looks like i'm going to fail my amaths again...
That afternoon's DB meeting was the most boring one i have ever attended, and i sat through it while studying for my physics test the next day. Was in no mood to study bcos friday was the release of results and i had a strong feeling that i would get a B3 for chinese.

Friday
Mrs Peh was on fire this morning, for god knows what reason, and we spent one period doing her test. Later i spent another one period of mrs song's lesson slacking and day-dreaming. Third period we went to the chem lab for the first time in 2 years and royston and i were busying testing for oxygen by adding Mg to HCL, proving the effects of catalyst by adding MnO2 to Hydrogen Peroxide, and recording effects of temperation by heating whatever and adding whatever(cant rmb that much...) it was fun and i think everyone enjoyed it. After that i totally sat through all my other lessons(lit, SS, HCL) staring into blank, everyone from HCL was every tense bcos of out results.

thats all folks!
