♥Lovely 313

parting is such sweet sorrow

2008-11-27T23:32:00.002+08:00

Hi my lovely 313,
mr siah has thanked everyone of you alr. My 2 cents worth on this article. Oh yes, before reading this post, pl get tissues in case u feel too "touched" .haha.

I have enjoyed teaching 313 trememdously because of every single person that make the class up. Gregarious izdihar, jiajun monfei, eugene, brandon etc .not to forget quieter ones like hakkim and amee, meng huat and chuteck. everyone of you add color to this special class.

I won't be teaching your class next year, sadly. But i'll always be concerned for your grades and well being. Pl do not hesitate to approach me for help or even jus a chat.
Its always sad that after building rapport for half a year, all good things have to end . So lets retain the wonderful memories and move forward to conquer this final year for you.

~no one can make you feel inferir without your consent (eleanor roosevelt)
Take care folks

A Big Bouquet to the organisers

2008-11-25T23:34:00.002+08:00

Hi my dearest 313,

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to the people who made this bbq possible.

I know it's not easy to organise an outing, especially one where payment and logistics are required. You guys did really well and I'm proud of you.

Really hope to see you guys continue to stay close ya? (I meant as friends - Izdihar, I'll definitely keep you away from the gals next year ... haha!)

Enjoy the rest of your holidays!

regards,
Mr. Handsome Siah

*Copy and Paste From Mr.Siah's comment.*

Bedok MRT is the nearest MRT station to our BBQ pit.From Bedok Bus Interchange, take 196 or 197 and alight 5 stops later just outside a condo named Lagoon View.Walk against direction of traffic and along the pavement that surrounds the condo and towards the ECP. Look out for underpass that will bring you across towards the Cable Ski. Once you reach the Cable Ski, walk towards the Food Centre.

Thanks Mr.Siah for saving the day! :D
takecare many (:

Oh and rmb dont be late! late one minute * Pay extra one dollar, thankyou. ha..

2008-11-17T13:54:00.000+08:00

Most probably I'll be meeting you both at around 1pm. :)
Will text you both again!

I hope to see every single one of you on 25november. :)
&Don't forget to bring along $6!

Takecare :D

2008-11-05T22:23:00.003+08:00

Ehyo. Received a few calls from some of you, saying that you wanna back-out.
eh noooo. DONT BACK OUT PLEASE.
Wanyee and I have discussed the amt you guys need to pay is $6 instead of $10.
SO DONT BACK-OUT. (: PLEASE.
we already book and pay the pit already.
So please come. (: you guys are already in the confirm list,
which means you guys confirm will come, too late for back-outs. wahaha.

Btw we need three man, to start out the fire.
So if you're a man, start out the fire.
Inform Wanyee if you want to be a man, to start out the fire.

Thankyou, and please spread this message (: Thanks
See you guys ALL on 25nov2008 at ECP Pit E-51.
Takecare!

2008-11-02T23:04:00.003+08:00

(EDITED)

ehyo people! er the pit is
E-51 ( around the food village )
How should you get there?
Bus 196/16.
(look at comments)
But MRT i'm not very sure, just stop at either
Kembangan(sp?) , Or Aljunied , Or Bedok Or Paya Lebar MRT station.
( heard from people )
Then you may want to have some amazing race game.
you may want to come together as a group?
in case you get lost. ( Time will be confirm later )
So first one to come gets a carton of china chocolate milk (!!)
Anyone , who knows which MRT station is nearest to ECP,
do comment (: Thanks in advance.

anyway the $10 you paid is only for food, so maybe you want to consider,
bringing extra cash for your own entertainment?
And you can bring your card games and majong tiles there :D , if you want.

If you're staying late or having your night there, Please do remember to inform your
family, and dont let them worry :D !

*It's Izdi birthday that day*

Takecare & enjoy your holidays.
We'll update if there's anything more (:

(Edited)
Gotten a few comments from some of you that, the $10 is too expensive. Yes, it is expensive
i have to admit, but please do understand that it is from wholesales, so the prices are higher.
Because ordering from wholesale will be more convient. We have another option,
But each of us must cooperate.
Each of us bring an item example chicken wings. hotdog etc.
Then we will refund you the $ that you paid for the item. But you must bring your receipt along.
This will cut down the price for each of us..
1)wholesale.(more convient)
2)help to bring. (less cost needed)
Do comment which you prefer. If there is more sticking to wholesale, we will get wholesale.
And Please dont back-out Because of cost,please be responsible.
For Financial Assitance students If you really have problem paying up,
Please do inform us.
Takecare (: *Remember comment. thanksmany many

(RE-EDITED POST AT 3.03PM,
DO READ AGAIN IF YOU'VE READ.)

Hi all, it's Wanyee posting once again.
I've two things to post about today.

1. The results.
2. The BBQ being organised.

Before that, I would hope that each and everyone of you will leave your birthdays at the comment box, so that I can transfer it to the birthdays column, at the same time, we can wish each of them happy birthday on their birthdays itself. And for the guys, you can give them birthday bash even when they keep their birthdays from you! :D So please, leave your birthdays in the comment box. Oh, MrSiah, do leave your birthday as well. I only know MsLee's birthday is 18September! Much appreciated, THANKS. :)

Let me start on issue1 first:
All of us has received our report books and there are sad faces and also happy faces. I just wanna tell the people that did not do so well, don't give up. Repeating sec3 does not mean anything, it is just like another chance given to you to learn more than the others. So please don't think of quitting school. I know I won't help much by encouraging y'all, but all I wanna say is you guys will always have us. I'm sure people from 313 wouldn't look down on you, because we're just like one big family. :)

You guys will always be a part of 313'08, because we came into 313'08 as a class of 43 students, and it will always be just 43 students. No more or less than 43 students okay? Don't isolate yourself from us, because you people are from 313'08! I really hope that you guys will work harder next year and achieve better results. Don't give up no matter what happens, alright? :)

And I would appreciate if some of you could stop labeling them as retainees. They already feel bad enough already but some of you are there speaking sarcastically. Please, put themselves in your shoes, how will you feel if they are labeling you? No offence though.

Regarding the BBQ being organised:
Many people are suggesting a class outing to be organised. But yet when it is finally organised, none of you seemed interested about it. I don't know how can we organised when none of you seemed to be interested or rather, none of you seemed to be enthusiastic about it. It seemed like you guys seemed to be interested in having a class outing but NONE of you wants to help you know? Or perhaps just a few is interested in helping? I don't know.

But I really and sincerely hope that if you guys are interested in having a class outing, please be more enthusiastic and try to help within your ability. I'm not talking about the money, but at least, when a message is being sent to you, try to do your part by spreading it to each and every 313 student in your contacts? Don't just sit back and relax, and wait for other people to do the job.

I can assure you that if every single one were to do your part, the BBQ could be organised easily. But if none of you are willing to do it, and just sit back and wait for other people to do it, the BBQ can never be organised. And I hope that once it is organised, each and every one of you will turn up. Please don't claimed that you'll turn up but you didn't turn up in the end. Regarding the money, I'm not sure how much do you guys have to pay but it should be less than $10, cuz it is not really cheap when ordering from bbq wholesale, so I hope that you guys will understand. But most importantly, I need to confirm the attendance before ordering the food. :)

Please do your part by spreading it to every 313 student if possible and at the same time, confirm your attendance with us by leaving a comment in the comment box, so that we can get to know how many people are willing to come for the BBQ, and if not many are interested, we'll think of another class outing. Please prove that you are interested by leaving a comment, at the same time, drop a comment in the comment box to tell us which day you won't be able to make it, and we'll confirm the date soon. Preferably it will be on the 25november2008. Please leave a comment if you're not able to make it. Your comment is much needed and appreciated. :)

I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the BBQ.
Do takecare and enjoy your holidays, miss you guys! :)

2008-10-26T00:01:00.006+08:00

A picture paints a thousand words.

2008-10-15T20:00:00.026+08:00

Dear 313,

today was quite a serious day when I stepped into class. For the first time in the few months of my stay here, I've witnessed normally playful and gregarious students mellow down and display some form of anxiety on their faces. Still, I hope u remember the long speech I made today in class yeah.

Well, these pictures are dedicated to you, enjoy the 2 days of freedom.

Look at their greedy looks! :P

2008-09-21T13:53:00.001+08:00

Hello all, it's Wanyee here again. :)

I just want to say, all the very best for the English paper tomorrow! Believe in yourself people, you can do it! I hope that all of you will be studying extremely hard for the English paper as if you manage to pass English, you'll only need to pass 2 more subjects in order to advance to Sec4. I'm not saying that the other subjects are not important, but at least try your best to pass your English.

I hope that none of us will give up on each other. We must advance to Secondary4 as a class of 43 students. We should not leave anyone behind, yes? :) And for that to happen, we should motivate each other, and stop demoralising each other. I believe each and everyone of us has our own strengths, and we're not the lower end of the NA classes.

I am really happy &proud of the class. :) For the recent Maths test, our class manage to do better than class312. This proves that we can do it! All of us should continue to strive hard and not procrastinate just because we did better than 312.

I wish all of you all the best for your papers. Please don't give up on yourself. Tell yourself that we just need to work extra hard for the next 2 or 3weeks, and after that, we'll be able play as much as we want to. What is most important now is to be able to advance to Sec4 as a class. So please, study hard and pay attention in class. Treat every teacher equally and respect them equally.

All the very best, 313! :)

2008-09-17T20:39:00.006+08:00

Hi, Tanya here.

I have transferred the rules to the "rules" box.

[as discussed with Brandon]

In case the post cant be seen after a number of post have been posted

In any case, please make our blog livelier by posting more comments

Discussions of the blog is going to be discuss very soon.

& the class cooperation is strongly needed

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.

Don't dismiss your dreams.
To be without dream is to be without hope;
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget Not only where you've been,
but also where you are going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

So 313, we have 1week plus more to buck up.

We ; ourself are the only one who can decide which path we really want to take

Our future is depends on our results.

Let us ; 313 all get promoted to Sec 4 !

& unite as a class !

All the best to us guys:D

Blog Rules

2008-09-17T19:12:00.003+08:00

Hello all . This is your chairman , Brandon here .

In this post of mine which is also my first post in this blog , i would be talking about the rules of the class blog which all off you must definitely obey. Remember , we certainly would not like derogatory remarks to be made on our class. So that is why , by coming up with these ground rules, we would establish a strong platform for us to discuss certain issues and at the same time , motivate each other in terms of performance in the academic area . Hopefully by establishing this class blog , we would be aware of more controversial issues which are happening in the industry nowadays and also , improve our english at the same time .

Rule 1 : Criticism towards each other is strictly prohibited . No matter how much our classmate is lagging behind academically , we should never criticise him/her. Remember , this is a motivational platform for us .It is not somewhere we cast sarcastic remarks towards our peers.

Rule 2 : No personal attacks should be on this blog . Remember we do not vent our anger towards each other here. Remember, 313 is a fully disiplined class. It's just that we are slow.

Rule 3 : Keep language clean and friendly. Vulgarities is strictly prohibited. Please use proper English. Avoid the use of shortcuts and jargon used in text messages and other forms of electronic communication.

Rule 4 : Publish your best work - check spellings and present with pride. Use appropriate language - remember it is a class blog. TRY you best to use vocabularly, especially what we have learnt during english lessons and what we have done for our tests.

Rule 5 : No insulting one another's religion or race. Remember , Singapore is a multi-racial society. And so is our class , definitely we do not want to be involved in the law in future. Let us aqquire a strong sense of disipline in terms of analysing one another's race and religion.

Rule 6 : None of you are allowed to post personal advertisements . Unless it is something which involves the school or whatsoever.

Rule 7 : Do not write anything that could hurt someone’s feelings. We do not want to see barriers being built among each other and also conflicts . This goes out to us in class also . ALSO do not cast sarcastic remarks which are indirectly refering to the one you refering too .

Rule 8 : Whenever assignments are being given to us , remember to complete everything , bearing in mind the DEADLINE for such assignments .

Rule 9 : Do not post bad comments on how the lessons for any subject are carried out . Bearing in mind the teachers, do not cast bad remarks on them too . Remember we are just students , not qualified civil servants unlike them . We have not earned our rights yet. We do not have the right to do such things. And also , things like this should obviously not be commited however i have to talk about it incase some people really commit these acts of foolishness .

Rule 10 : Please avoid spamming as it certainly is unconvenient to each of us .

[Punishment would be carried out by our teachers if we break any of these rules .]

Thank you so much classmates for spending your time to read up this post .
Just obey and follow the rules everyone, and i assure you we will be the best class in terms of class spirit . We have a long way to go , however the train has yet to leave . It is still waiting .
For now , concentrate on your upcoming end of year examinations. Take care everyone.

Yours sincerly Chairman,
Brandon

( If there are any more rules to be issued out or which i have failed to mention about , feel free to discuss it with me during PD Lessons. For now , this shall be the rules which we are to follow.)

Wanyee here. :)

2008-09-14T18:27:00.000+08:00

Hello all, Wanyee here. :)

I changed the blogskin because the previous blogskin could not be viewed in firefox and I can't seemed to insert the comment box into the previous blogskin. I don't know if you guys will like this blogskin, but if you think that it is very plain, please inform Tanya or Me, and we'll change the blogskin again. :)

The end of year examinations are in 8 days time. I hope that the whole class will motivate each other to study and hopefully, the whole class will be able to advance to secondary4NA together as a class. Please start to revise if you haven't started revising, the end of year examinations are round the corner.

May all of you study hard and stop demoralising each other. We can do it! &We're definately not the lowest end of NA. :) Study and mug hard everyone! Stop procrastinating! (: See you guys tomorrow in school. Oh and don't forget to comment when you pass by this blog! :)

PD lesson today

2008-09-10T22:57:00.000+08:00

today we didn't really get to talk about the blog but we'll do so tomorrow. Anyway, PD was cut short because most of you had to complete a survey.

I shared with those who remained behind on the purpose of the "find-brandon-if-you-can" game we played in class. Well,
firstly, the blindfold represents our distractions, our laziness and barriers preventing us from seeing the "light" (i.e. waking up). With the blindfold, we cannot see our goals clearly just as Wafiq could not see WeeKiat nor could he see Brandon, for that matter.
While being blindfolded, Wafiq sustained several "knocks" on his way to reach his goal ( Brandon, WeeKiat and Shamir).

Without a clear goal, Wafiq would be probably walking around in circles without an aim.

In the same way, I shared with the class that we should begin with the end in mind.

Think about what you want to achieve at the end of your secondary school life First. Once you can settle that honestly with yourself, everything will fall nicely into place.

If the end you picture is getting into a polytechnic, you will then do whatever you Can to GET there.

What are the "ENDings" you want anyway? (do comment)

wake me up when september ends

2008-09-04T22:43:00.000+08:00

Hi there my dear 313,
wanna thank Tanya firstly for doing this up so nicely :)
Well, apologies to those who have been waiting eagerly for activities on the blog. I've been quite busy but I assure you after the holidays during PD we shall talk about it.

My purpose in starting this blog remains the same: to create a platform for all 313 students to voice their opinions and concerns and to create a communication channel between us teachers and you students.

Also included in the plan was to arouse in you some interest in controversial issues and current affairs and to provide a safe environment for all of us to formulate and voice our opinions. I do not prize a correct answer but really the courage to voice one's opinion, whether they may be popular or not.

Well, I've said enough, we shall talk more during PD. As the title of this post suggests, by the time september ends, you'd have completed your final year examinations. Not to burst anyone's bubble, but when school reopens, we have a fast train to catch. So enjoy what's left of the holidays and I look forward to seeing you back in school on Monday.

Miss Lee

2008-08-20T18:28:00.000+08:00
