SAT Review

Still, the biggest problem I faced during SAT is time constraint. In addition, my poor English proficiency and the esoteric vocabs also impede my effort to fathom the passages in SAT Reading. My scores are highly dependent on the passages, whether I understand the meaning behind those pompous and figurative language used in those pasages or not. I also find hard to convey my ideas in my writings as eloquently as I would in Chinese. And there are only a few weeks for me to prepare for the upcoming judgement day. Maybe I should not apply for PPOU afterall.

To be candid, I do not really enjoy studying physics and calculus. I might be able to cope with the syllabus but I do not have the ardor to know more these subjects. I realized that I have made a wrong decision to apply for engineering in the first place; afterall, my favorite subject is accounts. During my secondary school years, I had always been scoring 95% and above for accounts without putting any effort. Plus, if I had chosen accountancy as my career, I would have avoided to take this Stupid American Test. I would not end up being trapped in Uniten, while my friends are having fun in their colleges. Sigh...... However, there is no use crying over the spilt milk. There is no way I could return to that particular point of life. I have to be responsible of my choice, though writing essays, memorising abstruse vocabs and whispering to the computer via a microphone haver never been my cups of tea.

Ikmal aka The Banker aka Mr "Hates Being Asked to Introduce Himself More than 10 Times in A Week"

Syahir aka Mr "Brings Lap Top Every Day"

Ikram aka The "Straight" Guy aka The Road Runner aka Pak Ikram

Well known for his famous adage " what the fish ". Has the peculiar proclivity of being physically friendly towards the guys in our class that is often misunderstood. (no offense, Ikram, we know you are straight) Often runs from amanah to ikal, our class runner absolutely. The picture below is another Version of Ikram The Road Runner, can you spot the similarities and differences between them?

LOL.

Sim Yee aka Miss Always Retain Her Composure

If I had to choose chemical substances to delineate this girl, I would say inert gases, xD, no offense.

Kumaresan Chandran aka 2000 aka The Mr Bean aka The Coffee Addict of Section 2 PPOU Engineering,

Judging from his facebook profile picture, he does seem pretty serious and dull right? However, do not judge a book by its cover, especially a person from his facebook profile picture.
"Dei, nononononononononononono.......................... x 999999999" are some of his favourite sayings. Currently rumored to have the same propensity as Ikram's. (do not ask me, ask others).

Nigel Ng Jin Yee aka Fashion Guru of Section 2 aka Genius

The founder of Nigelism, for more information about what is Nigelism please surf http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=124222191660.

Joshua Yee Vei Ern aka The Inquisitor aka Mr Vice President of PPOU

Likes to complicate things, I would say. Never fails to shower the calculus and physics lecturers with questions. The next Albert Einstein of Malaysia, perhaps the first Malaysian Nobel Prize Winner.

Sanjay Menon aka International Student aka Professor Ir Dato Tan Sri Sanjay Menon

One of the joker in our class. Never fails to entertain us with his practical jokes. Also famous for his awesome critical reading and thinking skills. Have a strong tendency to pee in his trousers even in COE. ( just joking haha)

Cyryl Collins aka President of PPOU Uniten aka Mr Philospher of Section 2

Remember what I have said about Kumar that a person's facebook profile does not necessarily reflect his personality? However, this dude is an exception. His facebook profile picture absolutely matches his serious nature.

Lim Ching Hon aka Lee Chong Wei

The next Olympic gold medalist of our country, lol.

Nelson Na Chin Chon aka CC not Sissy

Do not be deceived by his quiet veneer, he can really be talkative when teachers are not around.

Mr Yu Jin aka Nicknamer

A helpful and friendly lecturer and knows when to be serious. Always makes us laugh with his renowned sarcasm.

Aliff aka Chicky Boy

An avid MU fan.

Clement Chok Chun Ynh aka The Banker aka Chokky/Chalky

A newcomer in Section 2. The person with most diverse educational background in our class ( had been studying A Levels in Singapore and Intec before coming to UNITEN) However, he is adapting to Section's culture fast.

After the 2-hour intensive SAT test, under "Sleepy" condition, we interviewed some candidates of the test.

Candidate 5

SJ:
I FELT SLEEPY
SAD
TIRED
COLD
GAY
FRUSTRATED
N SLEEPY

In Conclusion, TIREDNESS is the main problem!!! (YJ's fault again)

However, both of us think that the hardest part are the sentence completion and the critical reading.
Problem:
1. Lots of "unknown" vocabulary
2. Why there is only 60 seconds in one minute. Can't it be 100 seconds???
3. Distraction during the test

Solution:
1. Learn the damn new vocabularies. Just make friends with them.
2. Practice more and admit that there is only 60 seconds in 1 minute.
3. Beg Mr.YJ to let us have enough sleep

[S]o what!!! you
[A]re just a
[T]EST!!!
Coming to conquer you!!!

SAndwich Theorem (SAT)

2009-08-27T20:11:00.004+08:00

Fascinating Lesson of the Day

Today, during Mdm Ong's lecture, we learnt how to write a "delicious" essay.
We found out that we need to apply the SAndwich Theorem although it is not Calculus.

Here is the recipes:

A loaf of bread = SAT WRITING
Main Ingredients: Flour, Sugar, Powder etc = Thesis Statement, The first paragraph

After the bread is well-baked (brainstorming)
Now, it's the time to make the Sandwiches

3 Sandwiches = 3 Paragraphs (Body of Essay)
First layer = Topic sentence and Main Point
Fillings (Tuna, Eggs, Ham, Cheese, Vege etc.) = Supporting Details
Last Layer = Concluding Sentence

Put the sandwiches in a nice way. (It comes the conclusion)

At last, the sandwiches are READY!!!

Mr. YJ's Fault!!!

2009-08-26T20:18:00.002+08:00

SJ's red eye

Due to the assignment of SAT given by our lovely Mr. YJ yesterday, everyone's tired & exhausted.

"What time you slept last night?"

"Arg... Three!" by Mr. Bean
"Arg... Arg... Four!" by CC and CH
"Arg... Arg... Arg... Five!" by CC
(Congratulation, you are the champion!)

except... except for this guy
"Ten!" by N (The Genius!!!)

P/S:
Sir, PLEASE don't torture us!!!
The first suicide will happen in UNITEN, a student from PPOU Engineering Section 2!!!

WHERE GOT!!!

2009-08-25T23:15:00.000+08:00

Today, we got a "fight" over KBSM vs SAT discussion during SAT Critical Reading class.

However, the "flying", "swimming horse", FION ended the discussion with the superb word "WHERE GOT!!!???" while pointing at the white board in a stylish way!!!
She protested the way Nigel evaluate her points.

HAHAHA!!!
