Hi all, it has since quite some time since I lasted post a message so I decided to post again:)
In the recent months, I think most of us are really busy rushing tutorials and preparing for tests and next two weeks are no exception. We will be having chem class test and for those taking CLL, there is additional CLL lecture test next week. I will also be having my NUS H3 Physics mid-term test on week 10. It seems that there is not much time for us to really relax and do things at our own pace. However, I think it still depends on how well we manage our time to cater to all our needs, sometimes we could still find time out of our tight schedule to do things we want to do. Continue to strive your very best in the months ahead, all s6aints. The torment is going to be over soon.
All right, enough of academics. Yesterday, I also went to Unity Secondary School for Maths Peer Tutoring Programme. It was quite an enjoyable afternoon as I got to interact with secondary school students and help them to clear doubts about Maths problems. Occasionally, they also asked about other subjects but it was quite rudimentary. I think it is quite a relief that I have not forgotten everything my secondary school teachers taught me. This programme is also killing off two birds with one stone as I have not only helped the secondary school students but also earned CIP hours for myself.
Today, I also went for the NTU Lightning Chess Competition but it turned out to be a flash in the pan. Initially, I thought there was going to be a lot of participating teams just like last year. In the end, only 10 teams from 6 JCs turned out. To make things worse, we got ourselves in a fix by having all the two teams in the same group which means that we have to compete against each other. So in the end, we got a scenario of Chairman Vs Chinese Chess Captain. That’s a rare sight as I never really played with C Chess Captain in actual competition. I must say I have been quite lucky today as I actually lost a cannon to C Chess Captain at the middle of the competition but I managed to secure victory by getting rid of his “che” owing to his carelessness. Of course, needless to say, we still lost that match to Team A, they are our best chinese chess players after all. Besides that, we also lost to AJC Team A and Team B was unable to get into the semi-finals. As for Team A, they are defeated by VJC Team A in the semi-finals so they only managed to clinch the third prize. Quite a sad case for them. But what’s relief for me is that I manage to win all the 4 rounds, quite an achievement for me. (YAY!!)
