Excellence Day for ExaMachs

Simple ceremony to crown the ExaMachines... of 2010... what an ironic icon of Jitsin

The Rabbit Hopped In Cautiously

New Rabbit Year Celebration

Bugs Bunny hopped in cautiously as the Tiger had yet to leave for the Kiasu ExaMachs as all these years where the CNY celebration was held earlier.
New Lion takes to life too, so maybe it will protect the pitiful rabbit.Many Ang Pows walking around and teaching in classes too.. oh my! what a painful sight!

Ang Mo Lan in Jit Sin

Australian in Jit Sin

After the SpongeBob attack, what next?
The Ang Mo Lang Attack!

Shocking, right! From Australia, some more lo...
But definitely not the Aussie that was drifted by the Great Flood of Queensland

New attire for taekwondo club

We got to wear the new attire (T-shirt designed by the students for the students) (even though the KOKO people got jealous lo)

Any way this will help us to jump start and kick off the new year.

SpongeBob Attack

Lady Bugs

Insect collectors showing off their collections. Smile and you are dead...bugs. That's what will happen to bugs when they met the Bio students

New Decade New Looks

As the second decade of 2K begins, all male jitsin students (F1 to F5 and some say even F6) begin to wear a new hair style ... a neat short (No 2) cut hair.

What is the reason for this policy? Well, many speculative reasons were formulated by the ExaMachs debate team and among them are

1. To save cost since prices of most things had risen (hair gel)
2. Hair is insulating (great bio teacher once said) so a shorter one give a thinner insulator so that heat energy can escaped from the scalp as the brain generated answers after answers needed to be great ultimate Jitsin's ExaMach
3. Good for sports such as athletics, football, swimming, basketball as most of the great sportsmen wear their hair short such as Wayne Rooney, Usain Bolt (pic)
4. To avoid intraspecific competition between the males (as hairstyle is one of the tools to attract female) since the population of females in the school had risen

Definite not the reasons for this policy

1. To lessen the work of the discipline teachers because (a) very difficult to recognize students from the back and (b) the skill of cutting hair experiences after many years will be wasted for the discipline teachers
2. No partnership between JS with any barber shops or barber in BM (and also not because Jit Sin is going to offer the new SPM course on Penjagaan Muka dan Dandanan Rambut)

Study-cum-holiday trip to Matang Mangrove Reserve

Marking meeting at SMK Tasek Mutiara

Just finished my marking exercise for this year.

Graduation Day 2010

Today marks the Graduation Day 2010. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera, so many pictures that I can take with my miserable phone.

Started at 8:30 and ended before 12:00 noon.

Same ceremonial functions, just changed the students.

But it must be a memorial day for those involved.

Congratulations

New outlook for Staff Room

My new desk

Beginning next year, hoperully, we will be looking at a new outlook for the staff room, now that the administration office had been fully furnished.

New desk, new chair and every thing new ... most probably sponsored by all the ex students.. so wait for the donation forms ...

High School

View of BM High School

Attended the Colloquium for Teachers teaching Form 6 on Saturday 30 October 2010. I had never really been to High School even though it was our rival school in Rugby way back in the Eighties. Old school building but does not have any aura of its past - not like my alma mater.

D-Day Tomorrow

Remembering my quote

"My job is to fail you, Your job is to pass"

Fair - right?

So, its D-day for the Lower Six tomorrow. Good luck to all of you :)

Action Research Course in BTPN

Attended a course in Action Research Course in BTPN in Pokok Sena Kepala Batas. This course is conducted for all Form 6 teachers. Spent the whole days there. Boring, well, it got broad band connection so I can still play with my computer, yeah!

Never really into action research, lazy research for people who want to call themselves researchers..

Why do we forget?

为什么我们忘了？ Managed to come across an interesting article about this. Any one interested can click on this link to read the article.. just remember to click back to this blog. Otherwise, you must have lost your memory...
