Things are only as difficult as you want them to be.
Maths teachers really like setting difficult questions

Since my previous post was a little boring, i would like to take this opportunity to blog about the maths (horrorible and terrifying and gothic halloweeny) peer tutoring.

sounds boring right?

let me give you abit more boring background:
Students were suppose to turn up on various dates to ask questions about their maths homework. which consisted of many questions. the perr tutees were suppose to hand in their complete solutions to the 38 questions marked with astericks.

firstly, one question takes approximately one hour.

And the questions were not really easy. Many, including myself [who was suppose to be tutoring] were stumped at the FIRST question.

So basically we sat at tables in class rooms. I sat with joe[from 18/06] for the second session [missed the first session hehe]. Was soon joined by the councillor from 18/06 who was also tutoring [think her name is spelled as Anuska... sorry! i can't even pronounce it....]. Sue Xian from 15/06 also joined us [sorry if i spelled another name wrongly].
Not to familiar with them all [esp the names], but horrible maths is a fantastic icebreaker.

After doing some functions questions [with snide comments on the general situation of maths], we graciously asked a teacher to explain an integration question. she began with," ok you start by......" then i lost her. she finished the question in like 5 minutes, which we had been trying to do for an hour. honestly it felt like she was slapping us with her explaination, which literally went right over our heads.

gosh they make things look simple.

So yes, in utter defeat we did the above algebra. Which should be easy to work out.

so on and on we plodded until we reached sequnces and series.

Ah, the need for imagination.

we are still in shock from the questions.. so well.... maths is more than it appeared to be............

yours campbell and reecey,

chalet-ing, chalet-ting thru the rain....

People rarely change their minds. Why?
Because we have to be accountable to ourselves for any decision.

Hello people.

Just returned from my first chalet 'trip' ever. Whee.

It was pretty obvious to me how much i've changed, since my pasted self's voice could be clearly hear in my head. Thankfully i didn't follow him.

In chrono of my stay at Costa Sands pasir ris:

i reached the unit S-11 at aproximally 6 pm..... after maths peer tutoring, choir, a walk in the rain, a long train ride, a bus ride, another walk in the rain, running around, calling adeline, running about abit more, and spotting some familiar faces.

We all sat around for a while until most of the people who were supposed to be here were here.

Then we went to downtown east for dinner. the jap food at the hawker centre seems nice. After talking and eating, some friends decided to go rent bikes for the night. I have no ideas about their subsequent adventures as i went to walk around the place with the others. Then straight backto the chalet to watch the TV and watch the class play mahjong and poker and concentration and......... etc? haha

Eventually at around 2 am.... i fell asleep........ apparently in a fetus position.....
Come on, i had a long day alright?

got woken up by some noises. Apparently some of my classmates were leaving for breakfast. I declined to join them.... but after changing, thought better of it. We caught up with the rest of the group at macdonalds.... which was surprisingly full. After our enjovable breakfast we went back to the chalet to see the people who had stayed up all night sound asleep. After joining them in blissful rest for awhile
[ yea i'm such a pig],
i went back to downtown to meet up with others for some pool and then a light lunch.
of chendol.
what was i thinking?

We went back to the chalet after that. [ slept again haha..... pigish] the girls completed their marination and packaging of the stingray for the barbecue.

At 5 pm we started to prepare for the bbq. Or rather, we tried unsuccessfully to ignite charcoal and cook some stuff over bad flames while the experts went swimming. somehow we still managed to burn stuff.
[i really am bad at making stuff which was meant to burn burn. Unfortunately not all things are meant to be burnt]

upon the return of the experts, a proper flame blazed and the barbeque went into full swing at about 7pm.

Whee. i was too scared to try what was apparently v.spicy stingray. unfortunatley i had to leave at around 7.30pm after the rest had arrived.

learning point from this: chalets are FUN!

yours sleepily,
cisvol

Freedom...... almost

where wisdom and valor fail, all that remains is faith.
and it can overcome all.

Well JC is a rush after all...... but at least its fun.

Its not good if your falling asleep during an exam right?

Well.... its time to say something of significance

If ANYONE was offended by my last post, apologies for that. you probably are not used to the way i say stuff.

AND BEFORE ANYTHING STARTS: choir member B and whoever you are anonymous[sp], please do not start a flaming war on my tagboard. we are all entitled to our views: lets just put this small matter behind us.

Well, there is choir practise tommorrow, we'll be working on chinese sacred music..... hope i enjoy it.. cya ppl
