Testimony...

Heya!!

Got lots of things going on...and a testimony (or two) from me...

FIRST TESTIMONY: TEACHERS INFLUENCE STUDENTS.

Yes, they do influence us to a great extent as to whether we hate the subject or not. We might hate the subject even though it's something we love (and vice versa).

Personally, I've never liked maths or science. That was till Grade 6. Mr. Elson was a great math teacher. I understood what he was teaching, and I was motivated somehow to study harder for it. In Grade 7 we had Ms. Wynona (now a Mrs.). Who could be better than her? Strict as she is, but I learnt loads from her. Great teacher I must say.

Let me jump to science for awhile. In Grade 7 we had Mita Das for Physical Science, didn't we? She wasn't a great teacher. At least she tried, right? She gave us LOTS and LOTS of notes. But everything in the tests were from those notes. You didn't actually have to take your thick and obviously heavy textbook home. [Hurray!] Physical Science was fun. Especially the chemistry part. hahahahaha

Then in 8th Grade...Jocelyn Kho for Earth Science. She was awesome. haha...ex nurse to a medical technologist...cool. She was sooooo super detailed in her teaching. And I understood everything. Loved science even more even though I complained about how much I hated Earth Science and wanted to study more Physical Science. haha. Ended up liking Earth Science =D

Mumu for Algebra 1 in 8th Grade. AAaaaahhh those guys (and girls) were so busy copying each other's work and tests. I tried not to. And I didn't. I tried...Even got Mr. Litton to tutor me on Sundays...not much help. I hated Algebra 1.

9th Grade: Frederick Milton Lee for Advanced Physical Science. Great teacher man...like mother like son =D [His mother gave us lots of essays to write in 3rd Grade. Helped me a lot. That's why I'm a good writer now. =X] But Fred didn't give us essays. He was just a great science teacher. If he has prepared his work beforehand. [Tutored me for IGCSE Physics. Boring. Not much help. Got a C for that module. V_V]

I miss worship in 9D !! hahahahahaha We used to sing from the first page of the song book and on and on...until about page 30 or 40 something. LOL..then we would skip pages...if the song was boring. We would study the songs if it looked interesting. haha Fred. [Rashee PANDEY would happily agree lol]

James Yoong for Geometry in 9th Grade. Nice guy. I didn't do too well, but lots of bonus points from him. Not free bonuses of course =D [Who can beat Laura in Geo? LOL*]

10th Grade!!! Boring year. This is the first time in my life that I actually dread going to school. Seriously. I really wanna drop out [be a high school drop out, who cares?] I actually care, lol. Finish IGCSE and either go to JC in S'pore..or whatever...study music in university..whatever...be an actress or singer or whatever silly ideas I come out with. Of course, that's not gonna happen. How could it????!!!!

BUT Pastor Das is a great Algebra 2 teacher. I'm starting to love Algebra now =P [if there's no such thing as graphs haha]

See how much teachers influence us??

SECOND TESTIMONY: COMPUTER GAMES KILL YOU.

I was addicted to Bushtarion (online strategic game commonly known as Bush). I was so addicted to it...you won't believe it, but yes. I would come home after band practice, sit infront of the computer, log into Bush, have my tea infront of the com, do my hw infront of the com (still logged in), finish hw, attack someone in the game, dinner, bathe, Bush..Bush..Bush......

My grades did drop...I got a freaking C in computer...I think it was because I sucked at Excel. But I aced my typing. Algebra was horrible too...nearly C, I think... My eyesight...detoriated...No more perfect eyesight V_V

And OH! Keyboarding last year..I so wanted to prove myself to Reggie that I wasn't a C student. Of course I did. My speed is avg 85 words per minute. Fastest Typer. Faster than him. He's standing at a mere 60. hahahahahaha...but keyboarding classes hurt my eyesight as well...Staring at the stupid com for 45 minutes non-stop. ARGH

Just checked my eyesight today. Was 0.5 last year. now it's 1.25. Huge jump...



What else do I say now? Err.......It's time for DINNER !! tata~
