Favourite Poem

Chaos ruled OK in the classroom
as bravely the teacher walked in
the hooligans ignored him
his voice was lost in the din

‘The theme for today is violence
and homework will be set
I’m going to teach you a lesson
one that you’ll never forget’

He picked on a boy who was shouting
and throttled him then and there
then garrotted the girl behind him
(the one with grotty hair)

Then sword in hand he hacked his way
between the chattering rows
‘First come, first severed’ he declared
‘fingers, feet, or toes’

He threw the sword at a latecomer
it struck with deadly aim
then pulling out a shotgun
he continued with his game

The first blast cleared the backrow
(where those who skive hang out)
they collapsed like rubber dinghies
when the plug’s pulled out

‘Please may I leave the room sir?’
a trembling vandal enquired
‘Of course you may’ said teacher
put the gun to his temple and fired

The Head popped a head round the doorway
to see why a din was being made
nodded understandingly
then tossed in a grenade

And when the ammo was well spent
with blood on every chair
Silence shuffled forward
with its hands up in the air

The teacher surveyed the carnage
the dying and the dead
He waggled a finger severely
‘Now let that be a lesson’ he said

a) The figurative language is used to describe the students being killed such as "collapsed like rubber dinghies" which describes that the students were very weak and had no strength to stand up.
b) I like this poem as it describe the act of killing very specifically and is very interesting as I had never seen a poem about a teacher killing his students.

Tuition @ Delta Avenue

About a month ago, I started going to a "tuition centre" in Delta Avenue 5 to teach and take care of the children there who usually come from poor families and their parents sent them there.
The first time I went there was quite a pleasant experience. We introduced ourselves to the children and played with them. I was lucky as the sporty kid I was assigned to did not have any homework to do, so we just played lego for and hour and went outside to play badminton for the rest of the session.
The second time I went there was not a pleasant one, I was assigned to a very playful girl who did not want to do her homework. She claimed that she did not know how to do every single question of her homework, which was alot. So, I explained to her every SINGLE question, which took about 3 hours, but during my explanation, she did not listen to what I was saying and rushed me to give her the correct answer. She kept telling me that she did not want to do and wanted to play, so I gave her some breaks in between. During that break, I saw Jerry and another kid quarrelling with each other, even though Jerry pratically did nothing to irritate him. Both times when I go to Delta Avenue, I always lose something, like a ruler, but I don't really care.
In conclusion, these trips to Delta Avenue was a fruitful and enriching experience, not only was I able to help the children who come from poor families, I was also able to revise my primary school maths and english, killing two birds with one stone.

SMO Junior 2009

Phew! I finally finished last year's SMO Junior Paper! It took me about 10 hours to finish! Only now then I noticed how hard SMO is...( I couldn't even understand most of the questions!) And this years SMO is held next month! I think I will be kicked out from the MOP class as there was a smb message saying that the MOP teachers will select students by their results of the upcoming SMO to stay in the MOP class for term 3.
Tommorrow is my IH and LSS test and I haven't revise much... and I haven't really done any ACE projects and the deadline for ACE points is next week! Unlucky for me, IH and LSS test expects us to remember facts and not like maths... Hmm, I think I will rush for ACE now... Even if I failed this 2 test, how bad could my MSG be?(I hope less than 4).
By the way, I can't believe that my maths teacher gave me 1 ACE point for doing a simple mindmap which is compulsory for all students during the e-learning week! Also, my chinese teacher said that we can get 1 ACE point if we arrange our chinese file neatly. Bye for now, I have to go arrange my file to get some easy ACE points.

STRESSED OUT!

During this few weeks I am very busy, not only do I have to revise for tests, I also have to plan for the upcoming open house on 15th May. About two weeks ago, I received my maths test results, I only got 75%! Compared to the previous test result, I deproved by 25%! I regretted not revising for the test as I was too busy playing "DotA".
I have tried cutting down my computer time, but I realised that I needed to use the computer for almost everything and whenever I see the computer I get tempted to play DotA. Today, I just had my chinese test and IS test, it was very very difficult as I could not answer most of the questions and had to guess as I never revised again. But for the IS test, the post on the smb regarding the notes for the test was gone! So, I couldn't revise and I think I did poorly in the IS test.
Tommorow is my CA and IH pre-test, I do not know how to prepare for the CA, I wonder what questions will Mdm Lim ask, do I need to voice out my opinions or just simply describe an article from teh newspaper? I do not have time to revise for the IH pre-test even though I know that Mr Chua will kill me if I fail althougth it is not the actual test, but I guess I have no choice...
On Thursday, my group needs to present the IH assignment is the only ACE project which we can do for IH or maybe Mr Chua is lying. But we haven't done a single thing yet, I guess I shouldn't have chosen IH as a subject for ACE. Also, on the same day, my group need to present our music project. Mr Tan said that if we know what the meaning of the words ,such as prepared piano, in the powerpoint means, we might get an "A", if not we will FAIL.
Term 2 is ending soon and I haven't done much ACE projects, I have almost completed all the ACE points for maths(I think!), 3 or 4 ACE for chinese, none of IH and LA(I wonder if doing a blog for term 2 will earn me some ACE points like in term 1). Bye, I have to prepare for my CA now

Addicted to computer games

This days I don't feel the same anymore. I can't concentrate on my work and I keep thinking of the computer game "DotA". I think I am addicted to it. I play about 30 hours every week but my teacher told me to restrict myself to 5 hours a week. But still, I cannot control my self...
Even now, I am thinking about it. I think I will try to spend most of my computer time to study. Today, I had my maths test and I think I did very badly as I did not revise and was play DotA and now I don't hand in homework on time.
Whenever I am stressed, I play computer games to relax. But when I start playing, I can't stop! What should I do? Five hours a week is really too little for me, especially now as there are a lot of homework and tests and I come home at about 6.00pm everyday. Bye now, I have to do my homework!

IS test

I got 86% for my IS test! Most of my guess were right!(lucky me). But my IS teacher told us not to be happy yet as this is only 10% of the total score.

Multiple Intelligence Test

About a week ago, I took the multiple intelligence test, it is a test to find your learning style. There will be a lot of questions of different learning styles(such as linguistic and musical/rhythmic) as, and you add the number of points of questions with the same learning style and the learning style with most points is your learning style.(in the case of two learning style, both are taken to be your learning styles)
Personally, I feel that the multiple intelligence test is not very accurate as all my learning styles except logical intelligence, was about the same, even though I am weak in music and PE. Another reason is that the test is based on points, but some people do not know how many points to give to a question or maybe even anyhow give points to a question.
