CPF can be used for many things. It's essentially allowance for the aged. Those who are unable to withdraw their CPF now can use their CPF to pay for housing, medical, insurance and other stuffs...

 

[Domination]

Last year when I was sec 2, it was ?? and ????? on Friday but now? ????? became ?? so we suscribe on wednesday.

And I think I heard somewhere that the remainer of Edusave goes into the CPF?

really? cpf's for medical and such amirite?


I think you will get a better scope of it next year when you learn Social Studies. Which, is not an easy subject, especially not if you hate/suck at history. Inference/reliability/comparissons etc. etc.

Now,we'll talk about this

QUOTE(iPikachu @ Aug 17 2009, 07:29 PM)

my brother's a senior(final year?) in my school, and i don't really look/behave like some.. of the people in my class, so no.(also my friends don't mind my anime and game and IT loving side because i show little of it.)

though as a secondary one last year its sort of customary to get bullied where all the secondary twos cut your queue knock into you etc. not really bullying.

even though im one of the few girls in the school who don't fold their skirts(to make it shorter or because its too loose)(because i don't bother and i don't see a need to, theres a extra hook there actually) i don't get bullied by my classmates,

but there's two other people who didn't fold their skirts, and even when they did they still got bullied. my theory is that my personality just scares them o_o actually those two people, one looks like something gone wrong(we didn't really care about her face but her personality is seriously creepy, you could say she's like some vampire loving goth who loves to write(poems) and sing those horrible taylor swift songs. so the face became a huge negative. the other person just looks like some... in a nutshell... she's the only one who dared to steal someone's boyfriend even though he didn't like her and present girlfriend looks(and is) nicer.

/wall of text

errrr No, I don't see it in my shcool. My school is actually pretty strict some times. Habitual late comers get singled out to stand at the side of our hall during weekly assembly. Cruel, IMO.

aaaand Lots of girls fold their skirts in my school too (chio bu

) but they don't really single out the "guai kia"s either. Maybe it eally depends on the school environment. I personally think our shcool has a nice and tranquil environment. Especially with the big, useless pond in the middle of the school. And are you chio? I don't think they would bully chio bu :ceep: (me anyways)


And I think my photo editing skills are improving, blinking mukuro.... And Brian117's current avatr. Yeah, I'm improving

 

[iPikachu]

when people are late in my school they just get their ez-link card confiscated and just collect it after school.

my school has random spitting at one of the classblock on the first floor, by the sec ones and upper sec malays o_o
my school has this small little garden where no one really cares about :\

no i'm not chio.

but chio people do get bullied. a number of chio people in my school are gangsters actually.

What a letdown

... But... Pics or it didn't happen

(J/K)

And I thnk my shcool actually has very good conduct. I know some guys from NA and NT, and they are not really bad.

Though this invokes another question from me.

I find the streaming system unimaginably meanignless. People in express still get into the lousier express classes (like me). Why should thet actually attack the self-esteem of the NT and NA? I find it cruel too. Our education system is almost perfect in many ways, but this is one of those things that I feel like raging against.

 

[iPikachu]

why you and elixir want to see pics?! o_o

my school's NA and NT people are either gangsters or talented in art(most of them take art instead of f&n or sth)or just people who are unlucky.

so that the government has fodder to say stuff about streaming during rallies.

jk.

the world is weird that way!

Woah, what's your school? Mind giving the name?

Ah secondary school. Takes me way back. Back then, I was never a bully victim. That's probably because I openly train at the fitness corner and everyone knew how deadly my muscles were

elixir? ?tico...

I was J/K. And Vidboy is interested

I know someone from my class last year. God, he was irritating, didn't do homework, sucked worse than me at any subject. And is buay hiao bai one and over-social (I'm anti-social leh).But his cartoon drawing is pretty good, everyone in the class knows. I still don't understand how he got 246 in PSLE(10 marks higher than me sia...) or how he didn't get into NA.

If you are saying about stuff like DnT, FnN, Art, Computer Studies.... my class also takes them because we are one of the lousiest sec 3 class. I don't see the reason they need to get into NA/NT. They can learn. Some of them may even excel better than us if we are on equal playing ground. And some NA students already do the "thru train" programme. Plus, the t-score for my school's NA is actually very close to borderline 180+.

I really object to the streaming.

 

[iPikachu]

Loyang secondary! you know the school with that weird singer guy. shawn tok or something.
there's a fitness corner but the last time i went there my friend got a splinter lmao.

i wanna quit my cca! got this stupid nation junior robotics comp which my teacher suddenly pulled me into.

Nonono, best to join competitions so you can make your SGC nice nice... very important stuff

rofl, how get splinter? the pullup bars are wooden kind one ah?

 

[Domination]

In our school... I think its the dragon boaters and festive drummers that are most muscular. Nobody trains at fitness corner, the CCAs train in the gym.

And talking about shawn tok.... I have never heard of him since... his voice broke and his singing sucked the next year too. And I don't even remember the name of the girl from my school.

Common tests this week. Amaths.... Modulus, Linear Law, Binomial Theroem, Coordinate geometry... i'm gonna fail for sure.

 

[mrfatso]

shawn??? Who the heck is he?? Zzz, come in lost liao ~.~

Haha, speaking of express stream, a friend of mine, he from the so-called technical steam, he and i already graduated from secondary school ... , anyway, he had some friends in express steam, and he was telling me like how those guys were having trouble with their math homework, and when he say, ai ya, just let me see(for fun of cos), and he was surprised when he found out that he could do them easily, so he was telling me like, how he feel sad, that he didn't repeat himself during primary school, then at least, when he enter express, can just stroll pass, seeing how low the standard must have dropped. If he a technical steam guy can clear those express standard so easily. Just too bad i wasn't there with him though, then i can look at those expressed student's shocked face as well

Anyway, pika, domination, next time, mind scanning your math/etc homework pass to me, i see if i had lost my touch and forgotten everything related

 

[Domination]

One thing is Math is not all that is about education. Good at math =/= good at everything. Singapore wants the students to be all-rounders. Though maths is actually the subject where there are most students struggling with. If they just looked at certain subjects, maybe your friend can get into NUS High of Maths and Science.

Edit:
I can scan my Amaths tomorrow and you'll see how bad I suck at it. (Emaths is suprisingly passable for me... sometimes)

Edit2:

Spoiler

My teacher gave this to us as practice for common test... from other school de papers... AMK sec is about our t-score... a little it higher... not reallly that hard, some I can see from the start, some just need a little prompting/hint. Binomial is far less enjoyable though

I'll just scan in 2 pages for now.

Our education system is actually raising the bar rapidly. My tuition teacher just came out of NS, and he said that some topics are from JC. Singapore is getting more and more competitive and you need to struggle really hard to survive now. :sigh:

 

[iPikachu]

one of the boards where you go down and do push up or something, the wood quite old my friend i think she walk then fall then suay hit sharp edge i think.

fatso: what is the formula for volume and surface of pyramid sphere cone

my theory is that some people are good in some parts of maths, but can terribly fail in another part, due to misunderstandings which lead to.. blurness?

edit:
WHAT KIND OF UPPER SEC MATHS ARE THOSE
haven't really learnt graphs.

 

[mrfatso]

haha, don ask me, i need to find my A math textbook and study up again

anyway, looks simple enough

but arghh

, i forgotten everything, even gradiant, darn darn darn!!

edit: err, pika, is this what u are looking for??

 

[Domination]

fatso: what is the formula for volume and surface of pyramid sphere cone

LOL, mesuration, the topic I failed most badly at in last year's emaths (probably also what made me go to the lousier class)

Peronally, I think some Amaths are ok.... logarithms, linear law, coordinate gemoetry, polynomial. Only if i do recaps though.

And I still haven't revised physics and chemistry combined science yet!!!

(comb science is shit easy, I just need a few hours to understand the night before the exam, how I got distinction for Mid-year)

Edit: ipika, thats called Amaths. You'll die if you don't know graphs. Hell, I don't even understand sine/cosine graphs/trigo functions.

And fatso, eqn of straight line is y = mx + c... where m is the gradient and c is the constant, and also the y-intercept. The graph questions are actually really easy. You'll get a headache doing binomial, probably.

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

Trust me man, A maths is easy. The general idea is to apply formula and you can get the answer. Hell, I walked into the O level exams knowing jack shit about vectors, and still managed to get A. A Maths: Formulas formulas, formulas...

E maths is supposed to be harder to score because the questions need more thinking or something.

Maths just need to practice. You chiong through all the practice questions sure will be best one, especially Mensuration. That damn topic stole 3 days of my life for non-stop chionging of mensuration practice. The guys in my school used to call it menstruation. Wtf o.0

 

[mrfatso]

guess cos the spelling are atad similar though, kinda like desert and dessert. and true, A math is easy, maybe i was lucky, but back when i did my O level, i was looking at the questions, and none of them try to hide who they are, its like they might as well put a word there: Q1 = trigo , Q2 = binomeial therom

while E math will like to play tricks on u, just when u told this is just basic quad, turns out it is something else.

edit: oO, so this is binomial, crap, i remember last time, i always make careless mistakes here and there, mainly because i do till i too blur, and this was the one who made me have to go back to tuition, basket make my steak of A1~B4 become D7.

 

[xoinx]

i'm glad i didn't feel too lost when i looked at your qns... though most of the methods i considered for solving them were probably JC level stuff haha... at least it wasn't as bad as the trigo-identities here. took 2 hours and ended up stuck anyway

damn worried cos will be going uni in a few weeks time and i've practically forgotten all my statistics and calculus etc...
