Goodbye 2012 and Welcoming 2013

Some of mycikgu precious 2012 moments

Twelve months had gone by and today these 365 days seem to be too short to be truth.

As the saying goes, Time and tide wait for no man, the only thing that is left behind is our memory of the moments in which we had paused to cherish; the joy, the meaning and the human relationship that will make meaningful pieces to complete our jigsaw life puzzle.

There will be many more pieces of these moments to come and the year 2013 will definitely add in more of these.

With this, Mycikgu wishes all my beloved students, where ever you are, a very Happy New Year 2013 and hope that this coming new year will make your beautiful dreams come true...

And to quote, 
Then sing, young hearts that are full of cheer,
With never a thought of sorrow;
The old goes out, but the glad young year
Comes merrily in tomorrow 
~Emily Miller~

The Arrival of New ExaMachs

See the long queue ...ya-lo, every one wants to come in but I'll be looking for the last time 

Today marks the first day (or the first encounter) for the Form 1 freshies.

How cute and innocent they seems to be..

How eager and happy to be able to enter the great kingdom of JitSin..

Never knowing of the pressure that will cooked them either to be well-cooked or overcooked..

We will see what will happen to this cohort which will probably only experienced their first public exam in 5 years time... 2017 ..

PMR 2013

The first of the Public Exam Result for the year 2012 - PMR result out today.

As usual most ExaMachs were at school by 10:00 am and after 2 hours it is announced that over 200 students had obtained 8As. Although the numbers had dropped from last year, it can be noted that our ExaMachs had indeed kept on the tradition of scoring straight As.

Biology STPM Baharu Paper 1 Prediction

All the very best 

New Corporate Colours

The models

After the baju korporat, maybe we should be request for a new Baju batik.
And the colour for the batik is suggested as shown by our models below

Canteen's New Food Menu 2013

As a Sekolah Kluster Kecemerlangan, our canteen food may have to undergo new changes in its menu. For a start, these dishes are presented by a group of talented chefs and evaluation is being make ala Top Chef. Hopefully, there will be a change in the food menu for the new year

Palatable, cheap and presentable... those are the criteria used for judging

Biology STPM 2012 Prediction

Today is a beautiful day for making prediction not only because it is the Hari Raya Haji but also because mycikgu had a nice long holiday which had started yesterday.

So as usual, grazing at my crystal ball, my prediction for the STPM (final yet terminal) examination paper 2 questions will be tested on these chapters

For 2013 Prediction Paper 1 and 2013 Prediction Paper 3

As in the past, this is just a prediction only. My advice is you only concentrate only these chapters after you had revised all the 25 chapters three times over.

Post Graduation Celebration

Off to Bagan Samak for our post graduation celebration. Forty of us decided to reward ourselves for a good job done to educate the students (see, no jitsin students offered to treat us, even HM also never ask).

We enjoyed ourselves with watermelon, and big fishes and prawns and after that decided to enjoy our 4 days long holiday starting tomorrow. See you all next week for the final 2 weeks of 2012.

Graduation Day

Today is the 50th Graduation day for the JitSin Form 5 students. As tradition goes, all the graduates were in the hall at 8 am but we had to wait until 9 am for the ceremony to start. However, the students do not mind as they are busy clicking their hand-phones, iPad and cameras.
One of the most prominent sight is there are all teachers are wearing the school uniform (I mean, the teacher's uniform). The resplendent blue with striking yellow resembles the corporation of Jitsin High School.
Other opinions on this matter best left as it is.
I am sure that most of the 'oldies' will feel the nostalgic about their own Graduation Day, for most of the Jitsinians should feel proud to be graduated from JitSin.

Mycikgu & Zixin

Who is graduating next year?

Who is graduating next year?

The answer is...........................B 

Pre-Graduation Day

Auld lang syne......

Only one graduated today, but tomorrow will be full with the 2008-2012 cohort

Final Quiz

With STPM (paper 1) just round the corner (only 14 days), these two settled down studying for the final quiz of the semester

New hairstyle, new determination, new vision

Leaves Collectors Group #2 and #3

Any round of leaves cropping and cutting by the LB1 and LB2.

LB1 leaves collectors and pressers  

LB2 Leaves collectors

School Arch Colouring

With the baju korporat, maybe the colour for the double school archs would be like this....
What do you think?

The Michelin colour of resplendent yellow stripes with blue background

Apple Tree in Jit Sin

Discovery ... apple tree in Jit Sin? How many of you know that? Huh! See only mycikgu can take you there.

The apple tree, just you and me...

Leaves Collectors

Just cut the leaves and not the trees, please.. otherwise the HM is going to go real mad.....

Picking the best of the best??? 

The grasshoppers and other insect herbivores are very sad today as the ExaMachs are also competing

Another good use for the school magazine

Uni-Form

Excuse me.. How much is a tyre-change cost? Michelin tyres please.
School uniform for Jitsin teachers maybe with the mind that this uniform will take teachers for a spin towards excellence.

Getting ready for the race.. the beauties and the driver (will he fit into the car?)

The past, the present and the future

Dragonflies Catchers

Going to catch dragonflies - where? Dragoncity la...
But they went to Mengkuang Dam and true enough lots of dragonflies
How to catch them?
Use your brain la..
but sir my brain cannot take out to catch them..
OMG... ExaMachs

And you think they can catch one?

Going to catch dragon flies with great hope ... and in the end???

the 3 great style on how to catch dragon flies - 1) doggie run chase style 2) ET phone home style 3) Harry Porter wand style

Houseflies Killers

LBP had the first taste of houseflies.. oops I meant, catching house flies and dragonflies.
What you require is technique in which most of the ExaMachs do not have.. hahaha.. you can't catch me, said the housefly...

The finished product - a pinned cockroach or dragonfly or locust

Why can't they obediently get into the killing bottle to be killed? Stupid insects...................HUH!

Catching housefly - gangnam style

First Exam of the Year

Preparing for battlefield for the first Battle of the Year,
Hopefully there will be no rain tomorrow, otherwise, 有 水 already..

Getting ready to move the tables and chairs .... make sure you choose the nice tables and chairs (if you can find one)

One Cause of Eye Pain

Typical eye-pain causing technique in looking through the microscope...

One-eye jack 

Kranz Anatomy

Drawing the Kranz Anatomy is easy but most of the time, I got drawing of Spiderman's or Ultraman's pictures. Wonder why? Draw what you see but not everything you see, you draw.

Draw the kranz anatomy la.. not the spiderman's face.. or any maskman anime..

Following Mycikgu

Making references or searching for pictures.. surf to mycikgu.blogspot.com .. up-to-date (sometimes a little late) information and pictures.

Who is the smart one? I mean.. next to Einstein la....

New Football Coach

After winning the Chinese Newspaper Football Cup for two years consecutively, it is time to try on an imported coach.. First, we approach Mourinho but he said that JitSin footballers are too good so he is scared to come. Next we approach the Malaysian coach (I-forgot-what-his-name) and he too said that Jitsin footballers are very honest, no kopi duit can buy them so he also refused.

But at last, we managed to hire one new coach who came volunteering for the job.. and by the look of this video, I think Jitsin Football team can proceed further maybe qualified for the World Clubs Cup.

Pray More Blessed More

Datuk Kong Praying Session for the year-end.

I prayed that all JitSin students be healthy, studying and not ponteng-ing

New Member in Class

Hi! My name is Collo and I like the girls already and I am fast (swift) 

Suddenly we had a new member in class, his name is Collocalia esculenta. Hopefully he will be coming back to school tomorrow.

Wah! So many news to read for PA.. 

NTV7 in School

Teachers dressed to kill, school in spick and span and students in well-behaved manner, why? who cares when they are in front of the camera .. right

shooting the cleaner doing their work

red shirt cameraman and his anchor lady

Jit Sin Form 6 Closing Down

Due to policy change, Jit Sin Form 6 will be closing down this year. All students will be transferred to Junior College Seberang Prai (a.k.a. SMK Permatang Rawa).

New Bun in School

If McD has GCB, JitSin has SCB (Sardine Chicken Bun)..

Thick and juicy yet slightly spicy chicken and sardine wrapped by a single soft and aromatic bread. For limited time only

Freshies

Clockwise from the top left: The Gangnam girls, serene girl, pls-not-me girl, tiok chehn kia boy and the new superstar 

The oldies had become freshies in the unis all over the country. I am left with freshies in the bio classes. They look cute at first but as evil as the previous oldies. Anyway, these freshies will be facing their #1 STPM exam in the next 2 months.

When ExaMpaper Meet ExaMachs

Like moths to flames .... really cannot see one lo..

OH! Why so little marks one? He don't know how to mark la..

Aiya.. so easy also don't know... See now I got full marks like full 0 lo....

One Small Step

"One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" That's what the late Armstrong said when he stepped into the unknown lunar world

Next week, some of you will also be taken your own small step into the unknown world of the university life... and mycikgu hope you will make a giant leap in your life in the next few years.

The shoe print (I wonder what brand is it) of Neil Armstrong in July, 20 1969 (location Tranquility Base, Moon)

All the very best .................. and enjoy the last few days in Penang .. savouring the Penang best hawker food (for those going away ... :)

ExaMach in Definition

A picture speaks 1000 words

Taken from  http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=454058617949491&set=a.269366509752037.66904.269352256420129&type=1&relevant_count=1

Actions of ExaMachs

The last day of the exam, the last hope if there are any, the last attempt to get as much as they can, the ExaMachs toil and sweat it out in the warm, cozy school hall.

Touching hair seems to be the natural action of the ExaMachs.. either they hope that by touching their hairs, the flow of facts can be transferred to their hands sort of like diffusion LOL

ExaMachs in Action

The battlefield is littered with bodies, sweat and hairs, due to hair-pulling tensions.
Nevertheless, some if not most will succeed as this is just a trial.

Half alive (in shock)!!!! .....I just wish that my facts will flow from my head to the tip my pen...

Potato Crafting

Well, if you can't get any good Biology course in the University, maybe you should think of learning this quite a primitive skill called Potato Crafting (which I had learnt it in my primary school's days).

Interesting art

Calm Before The Exam Tsunami

Scary views of the three classes LBP, LB1 and LB2 during the trial run of the Bio exam (which is going to be held on the 15 August (Wednesday)

The ExaMachs are seen to be concentrated as if their lives depend on it (which is true as the battle is drawing near).

How many will survive after the end of next week? Usually very few will.. it is the test of survivalship..

So peaceful.... so calm.... so boring

Sugar Solution in Dilution

Diluting stock sugar solution is the prerequisite of the process to make sweet potato chips and the ExaMachs are doing it scientifically. See what some of the action below.

In harmony just like the violinists did in the philharmonic orchestra, they start their "pipetting"

XYZ Generations

Z Generation is people who knows how to blog, but β generation knows how to blog about blogs -- so chimm!!!!

 Being exposed to the XYZ Generations.. I guess I must be the β-Generation because I taught ExaMachs
