Teach Until 60

Teach to 60 and get many happy returns

Staff meeting in school (whew! we are all in holiday mood) and then the Principal said... emm you all have to teach until ... 60 !

Huh! 60? whow that will meant that I had the chance to torture at least another 10 batches of bio students?

Tomorrow we will have quiz..... heh heh heh

Yeah! Wonderful! ....

Merry Christmas

Wishing all my students and visitors of mycikgu's blog - A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2012.

PMR result

see 297 (8A) and 127 (7A)

Even though it fell short of what mycikgu had predicted, nevertheless, JitSin scored a 296 straight (8A) ExaMachs...

Congratulations, and 127 (7A)s so it will be 400 if not for .......

PMR Result out tomorrow

For the Form 3 students, tomorrow will the D-day for you. What had you achieved in the past 3 years of secondary school studies? Have you progressed, or digressed?

Jit Sin ExaMachs - what will the score be?

Mycikgu predicted an over 400 "8As" ExaMachs. Any one to doubt it?

Holiday

Two more weekends of holidays to go before the cycle of learning and teaching goes for another spin for year 2012.
The last exam date for STPM is last Thursday so I assume the ExaMachs will be feeling bored with a life of no purposes (no more exams to take). Some of them will immediately morphed into pesky salesgirls or sales boys that definitely will target the poor teachers at the shopping complexes.
Why can't they just stayed enjoying their holidays just as they deserved? Sleep and wake up as and when you like. Well, exaMachs will remained ExaMachs or as I said they had lost their purpose of life. Wondered how many of them will survived.

The End is Near

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain

My friends, I'm sure you have
Prepared yourself for the Bio paper

I believe, you had it all,
Have studied each and every chapters
And more, much more than that
You read them all any way

Good luck to all of you

Getting ready for 2012 timetable

All the planning for the timetable done by only three of us....

Money money money

Who don't want money? Even RM100 per student is big money for the poor kid on the block and parents are swarming around the school since yesterday morning to get the money... unfortunately none put any into the donation box (for airconditioning the bio lab)

Note the security officer guiding the money giving process

In Battle of SPM

Happy and smiling .... hao lien lo...

Third day of SPM, History is on.. looks like this paper is easy for the ExaMachs.

Festival of Light

Enta kavalaiyum cirittukkoṇṭirukka cantōṣamāka irukkum

Tosai, puri, muruku, vadai and many other delicacies

Little India in Jit Sin - mango leaves hanging in a corner of the canteen, and loud boom, boom songs blaring, ladies in saries, tosai and puri, wow, so tasty, it's celebrating Diwali.

Eat also must use hands then only got style.. Diwali style

Bring Your IC (Intelligence Cap)

No IC, no fight

A briefing held in the hall with the ExaMachs before they enter the battlefield next week. Good luck to all of you, may the fittest survived.....

Neuromuscular junction model

One of the ways in which the great teacher used in teaching the ExaMachs

Model created from recycled items. Great work, isn’t it.

Umbrella cycle

We are ready! Rain on!

Oh!Oh! Wrong Way

No hand phone while driving, dad!

We are prepared, for all eventuality for the ExaMachs in facing the SPM and STPM examinations - come rain or shine, and with no fear, even flood. Do not worry, you can always biked your way into the school. Just like the Thais do 

Paper Chase

That big, and Mr Tan Chin Ee still counting the "bahan" at JPN

We went to take the STPM and MUET exam papers at the Education Department. All together 4 big boxes of papers for the exam.. Sorry, not the real exam papers but the objective answer sheets and exam writing pads. So for the ExaMachs, be ready for the final battle.

Service to the Society Programme

The helpers and the master

A group of taekwondo members were present at Chai Leng Park's Multiple Purpose Hall to help Penang ITF in the Penang Close ITP Taekwondo Competition.

Biology STPM 2011 Prediction

One of the most sorted posts in the internet this time of the year is prediction and I had seen hits on this prediction thing in this blog. Tempted am I to get my crystal ball out from the box this year and see whether it is clear enough  to see anything.
Fortunately it decided to show its prediction this year... much to my relief.
Good luck to all of you for this coming Dec 1 

Now that the Paper 2 is over, you have to concentrate on paper 1. Every chapters will have at least one or two questions, so no skipping but you have to pay attention on what you read. Not too much of memorising but must know the basic well.

For 2013 Prediction for STPM Biology click here

Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.
Lao Tzu

Prediction #1 : Describe the structures of DNA and explain 3 of its characteristics. If the question is like this, then remember to write about polynucleotides (sugar-phosphate-bases) how these 3 formed the polynucleotide including the bond (phosphodiester bond) - the 3 characteristics of DNA = double helix (2 polynucleotides joined by hydrogen bond into 1 DNA molecule), antiparallel and complementary (bases of A-T, C-G)
Prediction #2: Describe how DNA replicate semiconservatively. Be careful. If the question just ask how DNA replicate, then you have to state that it replicate semi-conservatively and Meselson-Stahl experiment proved that. (Remember the radioactive E.coli and the bands N14/N15). However if the question is like the above, then you will have to explain the formation of leading strand and lagging strand (Okazaki fragments) with the enzymes involved. 

Birthday celebration in October?

I would like to thank the Bio students who had planned a surprise (real surprise) birthday party in the Biolab today. For the first time, congrats to you guys and gals, you had scored a first.

Thanks to all of you.......... the angry bird and the puffer fish taste nice.

I will remember this event, and as I had told you my wish is that you will get a good set of Biology questions that you will be able to get through with flying colours.. All the very best to all of you in your STPM..

I am proud
