I have just finished my 3rd attempt at pi and sent it to mr veera. Oh if u understand what i was trying to say in my previous post, good for u, cuz i dont.. haha.. Well, my point was: i hate pw. and i think the world agrees.
I'm proud to announce that i have finished most of my vectors tutorials. keyword MOST. The point is, i actually did tutorials. Hope i do well for vectors test when it comes. I think there's an econs test coming soon but i think i'm gonna fail it. Screwed up gp compre. blah.
ok i'm sleepy. dunno what to type anymore.

if anybody from moe sees this, this is not meant to be an attack at any organisation. People have got caught for voicing out some of their opinions on the net. Well, this is not going to be racist or any personal attack, and i mean no offence. After all, we have always been encouraged to voice out our opinions, havent we?
A friend of mine was once called up by our principal(whos name i shall not mention in case it becomes a personal attack or slander) who reads our blogs. At least i know that my present principal will not do this kind of things, and i have nothing bad to say about her. Well, she's someone i truely respect. =)
Anyway, the point of this post is not to talk about principals, because if this carries on, i bet my pants something bad will happen soon.
I have recently been introduced to this new toy of moe called project work, or PW in short. The point of this project is to make students more creative and develope their critical thinking skills. Well, i think maybe some other results are more obvious. Notice the use of 'i think' and 'maybe', it means that i'm probably wrong, as the people up there are always right.
They learn to come up with new ways to fake through proposals and timetables.
A group project proposal can easily be churned out by an individual member of the group. Its not as if the other members do not want to do. They do want to help, but mainly because there is going to be an evaluation of group members contributions by other members of the group, and they need to at least show some effort.
For the critical thinking part, i'm not so sure. Students are required to show their thinking process. In the process of trying to do 'critical thinking', many simply end up with a bowl of fried brains. What actually comes out is tonnes of wierd ideas. If there is even any 'critical thinking', i think its to find ways to make wierd ideas sound nice and sensible, thus showing one's reasonig ability.
Oh yes creativity. I'm so sure pw brings out the creativity in students. It has totally squeezed out all the creativity in me.. look at it in whatever way u deem fit. I am not going to say anything that offends people.
At least i try to make it sound nice. Something i learnt from pw. ok actually also from some past experiences.
Again, i am not trying to badmouth anybody or any organisation. In the first place, what u've just read probably sounds nonsensical as my brains are not exactly in wonderful condition for me to type any sense. Ok point is: i'm not talking bad about anybody.
After seeing what happened to some people, i try to keep this kind of things short, although sometimes i still cant help but take the risk to let people know how i feel about certain things.
again, no offence intended.

This is to all out there who were not happy with thursday's results.
Everybody worked really hard and had certain expectations of themselves. Everybody tried to aim as high as they can and obviously some met these expectations while others did not. I am not going to name any specific examples in case it induces more negative feelings, and please bear in mind that i mean no offence. I just dont understand why some people just simply refuse to accept the results, and chose to let it become anger or hatred.
Well, this is not supposed to be a competetion. Its called syf central JUDGING for a reason. As much as a gold with honours or gold medal would be impressive, it does not totally determine the quality of a band. It simply means that the band has met the criteria set by the judges. And syf is not everything. To me concerts definitely reflect more about a band than some medal.
Some were surprised by the results. A band which has always done tremendously well only received a gold award, while one which made some mistakes received a gwh. The presense of some mistakes in a performance is not uncommon. I'm quite sure every band made some mistakes, so what's the difference between the mistakes these bands made and the mistakes a gold with honours band made?
I've heard rumours that some people are feeling really unhappy with what some bands got. I feel sad for these people. They will forever be trapped in 050505. For those who've decided to move on and show people what u really are, congratulations.
I know i sound really =_____= and some people probably feel like punching me now. Maybe i would have sounded different if we had not gotten the gwh. Well, results are already confirmed no point pondering over it. Move on my friends.

Its finally over. We did it. Tjcsb gold with honours. Despite all the mistakes(which caused some smug looks in front). Cant really describe this in words.. I cried. 3rd time in 5 years, previous 2 times were last syf and handover..
Thank u everyone for making this possible..
To those who didin't get what they wanted.. its just a medal. there's still plenty of chances in the future.. a band is not determined by the medals it gets.
maybe i would have sounded different if we hadn't got the honours.. well, if anyone is going to get offended by what i say, tt's by no means something i have intended to do.
still, good job everyone=)
