Last day of Week 12!

Hi! Again , I will be sorting out what I have done today.

Today , you all can say that it is the most relaxing day after all as I have only four hours session for Chemical Engineering Principles with Mr Ng Wai Hong. So this started my day,....

I came to school and coincidentally met with my classmates along the way to school. Entering into the class , I saw only the three of us was the earliest. The rest,hmm,....

Then , a few minutes later , most of my classmates came in , including Mr Ng as well. Then , we started our lesson to do the remaining tutorials for Topic II. It was the most challenging ever topic , I admit , but then , when Mr Ng explains , I started to understand the approach on how to solve a question.

Subsequently , after my Friday prayers , we sit down for our two hours lecture. First half of the lecture , he went through the new topics , which was much more easier to understand , and then question and answer session. Then , after an hour , he guided through to find the answer of the Common Test of CEP in short and the verdict , the moment that I have been waiting for has arrived.

The test result was displayed for a while to observe the marks that I get or grades. I still maintain my marks but then , that boost up my confidence to do more better for next week's upcoming test , which would be the Class Test II. I hope that I would get an A.

That's all for today! Bye!

Thursday , 16 July 2009. New post!

Hi again! I thought yesterday that I have mentioned that that would be the last time I sign in before submitting for blog assessment. But I have proven otherwise.

Today , I went to school to start off my day for Communication Skills , and then Mrs Josephine James started trying to defend herself as what she has committed during her lessons. Only about one or two occasions that we feel that she is actually like 'someone's else during that moment' and due to that , we , the students , are like getting to be terrified.

However , that session only ended in about less than half an hour and that was extremely good. Subsequently , we went on with the resume's sharing session and also searching for advertisements for cover letter. With that , lessons ended and went for an hour break before the next lesson.

After that , we went for Engineering Mathematics lecture , and apparently , we continued on with our Matrices yesterday , but with the introduction of Inverse Matrices ( re-fresh and re-cap for me ).

Going on with the Inorganic and Physical Chemistry tutorial , we were asked to do some questions and then she explained and try to understand eventhough sometimes , it's already in confused with the other matter.

We ended off our day with the Materials Science lecture and more sub-topics are being touched for the corrosion part of the lecture.

That's all folks! Hope to see you all again!

Things happened on Wednesday , 15 July 2009

Today would be maybe my last posting for the achievement to build in for the assignment. This is regarding to the submission that maybe pending on next week. However , I hope it would not be the case.

As per normal , I went to start my day fresh by going to school. Usually the red sky morning would accompany me on my way to school. However , heavy rain that drenched me down accompanied me instead.

When I came in for my first lesson on Engineering Mathematics , I learned a new topic known as Determinants and also re-fresh back my memory on about the Matrices. I remembered that there are different types of row alignment range , determined by the row and as well , the column. There's only 2 X 2 , 2 X 3 and 3 X 2 and 3 X 1 kind of matrices. One golden rule that matters is :

3 X 2 2 X 3 = 3 X 3 matrice.

This actually mean that the second alignment of the first matrice MUST BE THE SAME for with the first alignment of the second matrice in order to achieve the end product of a new matrice by remaining equation that matters.

What do I miss , is that , I did not get to see my Common Test marks for this subject. However , I know by one student asking to see his test marks and accidentally , saw my marks when the lecturer scrolled my the tabulated result. I passed , but not really my kind of expectation that I wanted to achieve. I must work harder for the final examinations.

Cutting that out with also the tutorial for the same subject , then continued on the Chemical Enginnering Principles lecture. The lecture continued on where our syllabus has been hanging for almost four weeks that equivalent to a month full.

Then , went for Personal Development and it was such a glad thing to see Mrs Mary Cheong back. Subsequently , went through personal grooming by telling some experiences that the locals have in dismay.

That's all for my post. Eventhough I said that this would be my last post , I hope that I will be sending another post real soon.

Till then , merci ( thanks in French ) and joi gin ( Bye in Cantonese ) !

Common test for week 12!

For this post , I'll be only talking about the days that passed by on Week 12. So far , I had only came back on Monday to sit in for 2 papers and Thurs morning for just a paper.

On Monday , I knew beforehand that it is only 2 elemantary papers mainly Engineering Mathematics and also Chemical Engineering Principles. Therefore , the only thing that I would do is only to practice.

So , I came in quite late for the Engineering Mathematics paper and I had only given an hour to finish up the paper. Luckily , the paper to me , was like a glance through and it was actually very simple. So I did finish the paper after all.

Then , before doing a final revision of CEP in short , I went to the library to do some reading.

Subsequently , some of my friends came in and ask questions , so I entertain them but at the same time , I also was revising on my points as the break was considered too long about six and a half hours ( 6.5 Hours)!!!

Finally , the CEP common test was being safely done.

I felt so relieved after all , and then a few days before Inorganic and Physical Chemistry paper , I started to focus on the subject to run through anything that I do not understand and analyze it at the same time.

So , on Thurs morning , I went in and as usual , I found out that the paper was way too easy. So then , after that , I took a short relax by watching 'Ice-Age III - dawn of the dinosaur'!

Post E-learning exercise conducted on Week 11 and Common Test

This is already week 13. Monday , 13 july 2009 as I am writing down my thoughts on how as in to start off my blog entry.

Monday , as usual , today , were always considered as 'blues' for most of us as need to get up early after a weekend and then start school at 0800h and et cetera , et cetera and et cetera.

Starting off a day with a test on my Materials Science , it was kind of easy but not really that difficult and challenging too , as there was only some sort of 'open' questions. Four questions in total , and it really gives me an alarm to keep focus. Following that , there is a lesson on Materials Science , but importantly it would have been topic six which is on Corrosion Materials. It was actually an oveview of different types of corrosion methods and identifying , but importantly how to deal with it as it would be important in our future life.

After the lesson , then we went on for our practical , also on Material Science. Thinking that we only had to send in a softcopy of the individual assignment , we thought of to see him first and look upon it. We did what we have thought to do it and eventually , we got an early release as the other class were suppose to have their so called 'make-up' lesson.

Eventually , we went for about three hours break and that is where I took my time knowing more about general issues by sitting down at the library.

Subsequently , we went for our next practical that was Inorganic and Physical Chemistry and we perform Practical no 7. It is to find out the enthalpy change of the Zinc and copper solution as the temperature rise up upon adding the Zinc powder. Then , need to measure by timing up from 0 mins to 9 mins and subsequently , plot a graph to show the enthalpy change available.

After that , then there's tutorial on Materials Science and we need to do some presentation. Imagine six people talikng for just a slide in 3 mins! For me , it was like that I do not agree about it. So , the first group adhere to the instructions given and they did well. Our group also did well , but only on the fact that there is some technical glitch that made me to be nervous.

Then , we all went home. So that's our day for today.

I'll give on another post for last week conditions as it was only consider as the Common test week.
