The 3 Sciences
I read an interesting paragraph about the relationship between the 3 sciences, in a chem reference book written by Peter Cann and Peter Hughes. So here goes:
"Chemistry is the central science, at the crossroad of biology and its associated discipline on the one hand, and pohyscis on the other. Chemistry relies on physics for its understanding of ( Read more... ) -
Game
If good game = screwed, I propose 2 new phrases.
better game = even more screwed = chem bt
best game =very very screwed=maths bt
I wonder if failing is "part of the game" (Carlsberg), but I hope failing is not for "Me, I and myself" (wonder if this is a quote but nvm).
Edit: I intended the focus of this post to be on the proposed new lang, but the ( Read more... ) -
Block Test
Ok so anyway the block is over. Like all the horror stories I heard about half the cohort failing, this block test is really something of a nightmare to me. Apparently, it meant to be that way. As the papers are ultra-difficult, we are forced to study much harder to get the desired grade. But then again, if everyone is doing badly, I suppose it's ( Read more... ) -
Truth or Lies
This reminds me of a quote, which goes somewhere along the line of "nothing is but what is not".
Prince Charming: You. You can't lie. So tell me, puppet, where is Shrek?
Pinocchio: Well, I don't know where he's not.
Prince Charming: You're telling me you don't know where Shrek is?
Pinocchio: Well, it wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that I couldn't ( Read more... ) -
Glass of Water
You must have heard of the half glass of water before. Those who seen it as the half-filled are deemed to be optimistic, whereas those who seen it as half-empty are deemed to be pessimistic. As cliched as it may sounds, the matter of perspective does matter. You can get a very different conclusion even from the same experience ( Read more... ) -
Random
Been really busy these few days, though I don't really have tests coming up. It seems that I can only finished my work everyday only around midnight, and the work to be done never seems to end ( Read more... ) -
Studying for Bio
Quoted the following from Jun Jie on 07S7E's blog
actually, for bio i seriously think the best way to study is to make own notes, and i mean notes, not plain copying. try to summarise the notes as much as possible, and in the meantime try to fully understand them. then... after some time, the stuff that you are familiar enough can be left out, so ( Read more... ) -
Test and Scores
Note: Think I have been talking too much abt KI liao, so I will talk abt other stuffs as of now.
In term 1, Mdm Yeoh once said that we better prepare to fail some tests at the beginning, because JC is going to be another big jump from O level. It seems that they set the test super-hard so as to get people to mug, especially the case for Bio, so as ( Read more... ) -
Staying On...?
I just thought of yet another random question: If I did not take the KI test, will I still change subject combination ( Read more... ) -
Subjects
On Saturday, Jianghao asked me a very interesting question. I cannot really remember the exact phrasing, but it goes along the line of: "If you can study any subjects based on your passion, and need not consider whether the results will be good enough for university admission, what will you take?"
For me, I will probably be taking a very different ( Read more... )
