Orientation Day

Orientation for the 16-20 batch.

Orientation ceremony begins at 9 am.
Many young/future ExaMachs accompanied by their parents had already seated in the hall by 8:30 am.

Back to School 20 years later

Not me but my first batch of Jit Sin Students whom I taught in Form 5 from 1994-1995. Some of them I also taught in lower 6.

Joo Khiam - my 5SH student whom face still haven't change

The chairman of this event - my 5SG student whom had grown so much up

Usually I will not attend this type of event but for this batch I relented because (1) they are my first batch of students and I taught 5 out of 8 of the F5 Science classes and (2) one of my favourite class monitor came personally to invite me - just can't refuse her.

It is nice to see them - the boys recognisable but the girls (I can't recognised them most of them). So, girls - if you can recognised me and want to let me wish you, just say hello to me first.

So out of 200 or so students, I managed to just greet about 10 - see, that's why no much meaning attending this type of event. 

However, I am glad I go because it is nice to remember back to 20 years ago that there were these boys who were once my students... memories really can be archived in our brain.

Farewell Pengetua

Farewell to Mr Tor PC.

Hazy Farewell to Examach

Should be my cuti today but not fortunate to have to go to school for this annual event. Luckily the hall is airconed 

Prediction for STPM Biology 2016 Term 1

Hazy environment has prevented my crystal ball from clearing itself to reveal the prediction. Nevertheless, API reading today enable me to come out with this

1. Lipid - either differentiating the molecules of triglycerides and phospholipids or the roles of lipid in living thing.. I think it could be in structure question
2. Differential centrifugation - in essay or structure - this had been tested in the old syllabus so do look out for it
3. Effects of temperature, pH, enzyme concentration and substrate concentration on the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction. ---- in essay or structure
4. Inhibition - competitive and non-competitive with reference to Km and Vmax. may need to draw the graphs to compare.. so  can be in essay or structure
5. Glycolysis - either the diagram (structure question) but beware of the enyzmes.
6. Autotroph - classify into photoautotroph and chemoautotroph - essay question maybe just a part of question 20
7. Light reactions - in structure 

As I normally said, this is only a prediction just like I predicted that Manu and Man city will draw this weekend game.. your guess is as good as mine.

Pre-Exam Stress

This is what the ExaMachs do to relief their pre-exam stress

Understanding Mental Health

Are the teachers gone coo coo? Or the students khii seow?  Today LDP has two experts telling us about this. 

Standard Sport Day?

Don't think there is any standard in this sport besides the officials. Do not expect much if the future prospect of Malaysian sports especially athlete if based on this bunch of young unenergetic students.  

We start at 7:30 until 9:30. Luckily it rained yesterday so not so hot today. 

We Work As A Friend

Yesterday we had a ceremony to celebrate the retirement of Cikgu Yeoh Ban Keong in the 'new' Conference Hall. 

He looked cheerful as he is looking forward to his 'big' day. He gave the usual farewell speech and one thing in his speech that I like and I quote "we work as friends first, colleagues second".
