Extra class with Diligent Teacher
This is my first time attending an extra class for phy .. usually Sat im not that free .. last few months i have Japanese class .. then the date coincided with Sport days ... the extra class will only be opened around once a month with an extra payment of rm 20 ....
When my clock alarm went on , i couldnt open my eyes ... just after 15 mins , i managed to wake up ... kinda late .. rushing to finish my breakfast .. Last night , ( should be early morning ) i slept at 2am .... less than 6 hours ... guess have to go for a nap later on ....
The teacher didnt continue the syllabus .. he discussed the past year questions of SPM ... overall , i understand better ... There are also extra facts which are not in syllabus -form 6 and so on .... I managed to answer 80 % of the questions without teacher's help ... guess can get A already :P ...
The day before the extra class , i have a doubt on whether to go basketball or tuition .. Since extra class is once a month or 2 ... and i can play basketball tomorrow , Sunday ( although less people free to go - family day / father's day ) ... Thus , i went for tuition to see what is the difference from other classes ..
Quite a number of students who attended the class .. actually i prefer a smaller group of tuition ..so that i can easily voice out my suggestion and ideas without interrupting the class too much ..... This class also helps me to revise on Form 4 syllabus in only 2 hours .....
This teacher is quite well-known .. he only gives tuition , writes book and others related to teaching ... he gives Add maths , Phys ,and Chem tuition for secondary school students .... around 20+ students in 1 group ..... I just joined this tuition last year ... Since it is 2 times a month , he has to rush to complete the syllabus .. he doesnt have much time to discuss question with us ..... So , extra class is considered vital so that we are exposed to different questions which might come out .....He is one of the author of Physics Success book for SPM ..... He is very experienced teacher .. He explains clearly .. he can notice who is not paying attention , talking , smsing in one glance .... So , the class is very quiet ..
His clock is always 20 mins faster ... So he is quite punctual person ... I never see him scold people before .... as everyone respects him !!! This is the highest level of teaching !! lolz .. nobody dare to do anything funny ....He has 2 maids in one double-storey house ... consider rich for a teacher .... He always relates the lesson with daily life activities so that we understand better ... Whenever i ask him a question , he can answer easily .... So far , he never fail to answer my question ... he always analyses each question out of the boundary ... he thinks beyond .. he doesnt answer the question to solve it but to learn from it and relate to other situation ......
Guess he is one of the teachers that i admire the most .....

A: Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5 hours and 7.5 hours a night, as they report, live the longest. And people who sleep 8 hours or more, or less than 6.5 hours, they don't live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short. The big surprise is that long sleep seems to start at 8 hours. Sleeping 8.5 hours might really be a little worse than sleeping five.
I guess i dont have to sleep so early now ^^ .. i usually sleep at 11.30 and wake up at 6.30 ... around 7 hours which is perfect !!!! i thought of sleeping earlier because feeling tired while in the school .. guess 7.5 hours is the best for me .. can concentrate better during the lesson ... and also live the longest !! what do you think ?

Back To School
Back to school .. im ready to get the result .. Most of them are not as good as last end term exam .. maybe , just too much to study .. Guess i have to change my study technique ... by doing a mind-map ,...very useful for recalling ideas .. Last holiday , i didnt study much .. i spent most of time playing comp and writing blog :P .... I wont quit blogging but just reduce the number of times posting blog ... there is an exam in July ... trial is in Sept and real SPM is in Nov ..
I argue with teachers who some questions ... There are some teachers who are not that lenient .. they really have reasons for marking it wrong .. So they are well-prepared to tackle the students' argument .. except for wrong calculation .. I manage to get 2 marks for Moral , 1 mark for Eng , 3 marks for BM today .. not bad huh ~~ .. guess my answers also have its own reason to tackle the teacher's answer .. Sometimes i understand the reason why the teachers dont give more marks for essay .. it is not that they want to pull the marks down but to prevent us from felling satisfy and proud ..we can learn from mistakes .. Sometimes we have to think in the teacher's perspective too .

For me , it depends on situation .. if you have to migrate , then you have no choice but to move .. where ever your parents go , you have to follow .. except you want to stay in hostel ... There are some of my friends from Indo studying in my school too .. they are trained to be independent ... they want to pursue their studies in better school ... guess Sri KL is quite well-known :p .. It may give benefits ... The benefits are :
- get better education
- more freedom
- more independent ( as i said )
- make new friends
But the parents have to make sure that their son / daughter are willing to go and mature enough ... if they are too young , it might give different result .. They may be too stress , miss their family , cant cope with studies , lack of guidance and so on ...
In my last exam essay , i wrote about studying in overseas is better compared to studying locally .. I think the quality is a lot different although it might be much more expensive... if you can afford , why dont seek for better university ? where the lecturers are well-trained , learn their cultures and traditions and at the same time learn to be more independent.. you have to learn to make your own decision as nobody can help you all the times .. .. The students come from all over the world .. so you can learn their cultures as well .. Studying is part of life .. you should also enjoy your life in overseas .. you will slowly figure out the differences ... during holidays , you can go travel .. as it is cheaper ( stay near there ) ....
Now , there are a lot new university in Malaysia too .. Lim Kok Wing U , Monash U , and so on ....They are well-known to provide good education ...

Petrol price hike by 40 %
Addiction , Sleep , My Dad
Insufficient sleeping period will weaken your immune system ... For our age , the best is to sleep for at least 8 hours .. The brain functions at its best when it receives enough rest .. You will not feel sleepy during the class and be more alert ....Enough sleep can also reduce the risk of having heart disease and others ... My father cant sleep early .. usually around 11.30pm as he will be reading books before he sleeps .. he buys a lot of books !! price doesnt matter , just make sure it helps him .. If I ask him to buy book , he definitely will buy for me without a second thought !! .. If i ask him to buy games , he will give a second thought .. Once in a while ( special occasion / excellent result ) , he will buy .. or not i have to share money with my bros and mum to buy ... Once he gives the money , he wont take it back ...he knows i wont spend it unnecessary .. he never hesitate to donate money to the poor .. During the Wesak day , he would give money to me and ask me to donate it to the beggars while im young.. he want to instill generosity in us .. has been practising this for years ..

How to Study ?
- Make short notes - the short notes can be in the form of mind map or numbering form ... just make sure that it has to be brief and simple .. dont have to copy exactly from the textbook .. the best way to write short notes is :- read , close the book , and recall ( RCR ).. quite effective for me as you only jot down those point that you can remember .. then as you write , you link it with other point .. make connection .. if you really cant remember , then write short notes for 1 page ..then gradually increase ..by using this method , you can use your own analytical thinking to come out with a solution .. Keep revise on your notes ( 1 week - 1 month - 2 month ) to make it long term memory .
- Stop to relax your mind - Everyone has different way to soothe their mind .. Make sure it does not take longer than the lapse of studying ... 10 mins break is just nice for me ... I can read for 1 and 1/2 hour continuously , then i lose focus .. it just cant "go in " .. Break in between study hour can improve your willingness to study .. your interest to study will build up ..
- Apply your knowledge in daily life - It may be difficult for certain subject .. but it really helps a lot if you are able to make some connection between them .. practical can be more useful than theory ..
- Focus on your lesson - It is the easiest and vital way of learning .. Ask the tutor if having any difficulty .. It is the best to read briefly before the lesson so you know what to be asked in the class .. Dont hesitate to ask .. if you do not want to interrupt the class , you can ask after the class .. ask and understand can save you a lot of time of doing research and reading ...
- Consistency in studying - For me , i can study at eleven hour ( last minute ) .. just cant memorize as there is just too much to read .. If you just want to pass , it may help .. Usually , i revise after every chapter ( make sure you understand the chapter ) Speed reading may help here if there are a lot of subjects .....
- Exercise - For SPM level , there are a lot of books in the market .. just keep practising before the exam so you are exposed to different way of answering question .. Maths , add maths , physics and account require a lot of practices ... try out the past year question of SPM .. does help a lot as the question might be similar ( in different questioning form )
All these methods are useful for all type of learners .. It depends on you . Your destiny falls on your hand

Ticket for sale !!
It's time to start working
There are also a lot of unnecessary papers which have to be disposed of ..
This is the result of not filing up the paper
- a lot of Malays student
- teacher taught all the subjects in Malay except for Eng class
- I'm couldn't speak well in Eng ( speak in Cantonese at home )
I'm totally agree with the step to change maths and science to English .. Although i may be difficult at the beginning , gradually you would get used to it .. especially the primary school students !! they are still young . So they can easily learn a language easily ( better memory ,less work and stress ) I learnt Japanese last few months .. I'm totally lost in the class as i do not have time to revise and memorise the words .. There are 3 different types which are
- katakana
- hiragana
- romanji
if im not mistaken , katakana is similar to chinese character .. a disadvantage case for me as im illiterate in Mandarin ... so i stick to the romanji ( use a , b , c ..,z ) .. no worry .. then later on , the tutor stopped teaching in romanji as he taught that we should try to use katakana and hiragana .. @@ At that time , i have exam and other school practice ..( mana ada masa ~~ ) although the class is once a week , i feel lazy to memorise ~~ my interest grows in the beginning then slowly reduces ..haha ..then i stopped ..
luckily i didn't sign up for another tuition centre which requires me to pay fully :- RM 3000++ for 5 years !!! ( smart thinking .. to trap the innocent people ) they guaranteed us that we can speak fluently in Japan ... as we can join extra class if didn't understand .. and it is a lot nearer to my house .. so i paid rm 100 for deposit .. later on , i found out that YMCA is offering the same course for only RM 300 ( first level ) .. of coz i chose the cheaper and reliable centre .. YMCA offers wide variety of language classes : Japanese , french , mandarin , English , and so so ......and also sports , body language , self defense ~~ The first week , i went there by train ...so tiring and waste time ... by the time i reached the centre , I'm panting and covered in sweat ( woke up late :P ) ....then , my dad and my bro took turn sent me ... I'm more familiar with the train route since then ... Now i cant speak in Japanese yet .. just learn the very basic .. may continue after spm.
My study desk is full of books , decoration , pictures and souvenirs ... i love artistic things .. Can you see the rubic's cube ? i started learning last year... popular among my classmate for only a month ... everyone gets crazy with it .. some even buys key chain with rubic's cube .. we competed for the fastest time to complete it ... most of them are boys .. girls not so keen in this game .. i bought the cube after i found out that it is fun !! then , i lent it to my fren in the class .. the teacher confiscated it for a week as my fren was playing during her lesson ..... i managed to get it back after a week ... i surfed net for the methods and formula to solve the puzzle .. but i think it is easier to consult help from the " pro " friends .. my fastest time record is 57 seconds .. consider slow compared to my friends ...
The Donald Duck and Squirrel was bought in HK Disneyland ... i didn't buy much things in HK last december as
- expensive
- can be obtained in Malaysia
One last thing before i forget !! ANYONE INTERESTED TO GO TO MY SCHOOL CHARITY FIESTA ? all the profit will be given to the orphanage , disabled children , and other organization .. there will be popular singers performing at that day .. ( Bin Guan , one from Akademi Fantasia , and two more ) they volunteered to give free service without any payment as it is a charitable event ... so why don't you join us at that meaningful day .. try to experience the Magic of Sharing !! it really helps a lot ... you should be thankful for having a chance to sit down comfortably and playing your comp here .. many unfortunate people are awaiting your help ....
