rite there...
1st of all congrats to almost everyone who has finished their A'lvls!
rite its finally over...
as for those who have s papers...
juz mug for a few more days yeah... all the best for ur papers!
anyway main point here is post prom...
instead of an endless tussle between kbox and chalet... lets juz go with the majority okay?
so now we 'll put it tentatively as KBOX...
if u've some fantastic idea as to wat else we can possibly do at a chalet after prom... pls let me know by next monday, if not it 'll be confirmed KBOX!
eh i guess other concrete and sensible ideas r welcomed but all by nxt monday pls...
we still 've 217.20 worth of class fund with us and i'm thinking we 'll use it for either post-prom or smth else...
so if we re going kbox after post prom, the money will be used to book another chalet some other time or smth along that line
if we re going chalet after post prom, then the money will be used for the chalet...
okay that's it haha...
any qns juz ask me lah...
cya ard
HAPPY POST A'LEVELS!

yoz ppl..
ur frenly neighbourhood spider here. last time, i sent u all a sms abt the essay topics for last yr bio paper2.. if tt causes any of u to abandon studying ecology for ur essay, sorry abt tt.. surprised to see ecology coming out as an essay agn this yr. haaha. but they test on diff things la.. mayb i shall b more specific this time rd.. hmm.. ya.. if u guys' tys dun hav the 2005 essay qns for paper 3.. here's wad they asked last yr..
(a)(i) Describe the process of cloning of plants from tissue culture. [7]
(ii) Explain why such cloning is a type of asexual reproduction. [5]
(iii) Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of asexual reproduction in organisms in natural ecosystem. [8]
Or
(b)(i) Outline the role of hormones in human pregnancy. [7]
(ii) Explain the role of the placenta in the growth of a human fetus. [6]
(iii) Outline the role in human growth of the thyroid gland. [7]
Once agn, things tt hav come out before may come out agn.. jus like "Define Relative Atomic Mass" which has come out for so many consecutive yrs (perhaps tt is the most basic fundamental concept to chem?).. ya.. so be careful when spotting qns.. oh n also..jus a reminder.. if u really got the time.. mayb u wan to go thro the core topics agn.. cos cambridge likes to cross link wif the core topics... like last yr paper 3 structured.. they ask abt the importance of reduced NADP in the process of photosynthesis n the role of negative feedback in homeostatis ya.. so.. :D Good Luck, ppl.. the no. of days to freedom is countable by your fingers.. the end is coming really soon.. Cheers :)

Helo people!
not sure if anyone still visit this blog.. so here's a reward to those who still come here everyday to check for any latest updates.. haaha.. hmm.. our exam schedule is quite siong ar.. tues got bio paper 2 n maths paper one n the next day morning still got chem paper3.. hmm.. so i guess all of us r feeling quite stressed over it.. so for those who tink they will take forever to finish the whole of the bio syabullus (did i spell it correctly? :P ) or those who wan to prioritise .. well.. i koped this study tip from someone very reliable.. mayb some of u alr hav it alr.. but i jus blog the whole thing here.. I m NOT saying all these will come out but there is quite a high chance tt this thing mayb correct... got do hypo-testing one.. 90%CI.. but den leh.. for those who tink tt we should not believe this little stinking spider n shld not trust this study tip, so be it.. it will of course be the best if u can learn everything in detail n vomit everything out at the right time :D ..
anyway, i got warned not to let this study tip b known to others.. but i jus find it really ridiculous cos all of us r hc students mah.. y the nid to hide this tip from others.. so i dun care.. got good things mus take out n share mah :D:D:D:D esp 05S72 cos the whole cls is gng to get 100% A for bio man!! :D haaha but anw.. if got anyone ask u who blog this message one.. dun say is me hor.. jus say "I dun noe. Mayb is some god or some superhero here to save the world?" so tt i will not get caught by the "source" of this tip.. haaha.. enough of crap...
