LO AND BEHOLD... The Redundant Reading Corner

Alright, by this time, most of you SHOULDDD have done your homeworks already. Therefore, you SHOULDDD have time to search for interesting articles, righttt? =.=... Bad, bad introduction... *IGNORE THIS*

Well anyway, the school's going to reopen soon. So, if you have really studied, I congratulate you. If you have not, well, study la. LOL That aside, Jia Yin have requested everyone to bring a book for the reading corner since the reading corner is basically ignored. She have requested on facebook though, but it's barely noticeable. So, I put it here instead. Hopefully this would increase the pool of readers. And don't forget the articles for the notice board. The notice board really does look pathetic. Just bring some articles about any subject you find interesting. Nothing obscene, please. It'll just be filtered anyway.

Hmm... I don't think I left anything else out. Oh wait, the Sivik project. Nothing to elaborate on that. Just get the thing done. You don't need to think about it after that. The link to the guide is up there. And... I think that's about it.

In the mean time, just spend some of your time to study bits and pieces of any subject you feel like studying. At least, your can refresh a bit of your memory. And of course, enjoy your last days of holiday while you can.... HAHAHA

~One week is too short of a holiday. It feels like only a day passed =.=~

Merdeka Public Speaking Competition

Merdeka season.... A time where you see flags are finally being displayed by patriotic commercial and private drivers alike. This is the time when you don't see Tunku Abdul Rahman as a geek. This is the time when you look up to him. Some may even realize that we are actually quite a fortunate country. Do we get hit by tsunami at least once every four years? Do we fortify our houses with nails and wooden boards whenever we hear warnings of strong wind? Do we fear our life would fly out of the window in the next minute? NO, we don't. So, you've got to appreciate it lah.

In collaboration with the Bulan Kemerdekaan, an English Public Speaking Competition will be held. The details are below.

--------------------------------------------------------

Location:

Pusat Sumber SMK Sri Permata

Time:

On the first Wednesday after school reopens.

Registration Deadline:

Latest is on the first Tuesday after school reopens.

Judges:

Pn. Kong

Mr Hugh Leong aka HUGE (Pn Kong calls him that)

Pn Nallini

and Your English teacher (which is Pn Kong again...)

Unofficial Judges:

Other participants (Other unexpected audience may be there too)

The titles for the competition are....

1) My Home, My Glorious Malaysia

2) We can only be proud of our history

3) Teenagers nowadays don't appreciate the significance of independence

4) The Rukun Negara isn't just for show

5) Bangsa Malaysia is a reality

6) Harmonious interaction among races isn't an option, it is a must

7) A diverse Malaysian community is the strength of our country

8) National integration has to start in schools

9) Malaysia is a role model of national integration

10) The young determines the future of our country

--------------------------------------------------------

ALL participants will receive a certificate of participation. As of now, there is only 2 official participants, namely Keith and Nicholas. There should be a prize for the champion, the first and second runner-up... i think.

So, yeah. Other Form 4's who wish to join are encouraged to do so.

p/s: Yes, I moderate things around here, crimsonteddy. Do you want to subscribe to a daily newspaper filled with foulwords or disturbing pictures and the headline is about your notoriety? I don't think so... Try being in someone else's shoe before you post things up.

Stay cautious, you dont want to be part of the figure below.

Latest death figure [H1N1]: 67

Minor Reminders....

So according to Ashwin, the boys will be having PJ tomorrow. For the past 2 weeks, rain had been pouring whenever we were about to have our PJ. Hopefully this time that won't happen.

Oh yeah, this is directed to boys only. For the girls, maybe you can ask Reenisha.

Few things you should bring tomorrow....

1) PJ clothes (Boys, especially)

2) Chemistry PEKA (Latest by today actually)

3) Penilaian 2 exam slip (I know some of you haven't get yet, my bad)

4) School Fees (RM 106.50)

5) Your clothes, bag, brain, and completed homeworks (This is a tough one, eh?)

Since the fasting season is coming soon, I wish all Muslims a HAPPY PUASA TIME. May you fast without lust. XD

And the most important thing.... MID-SEMESTER HOLIDAYS IS COMING SOON!!! WOOHOO!!!

Fun, eh? Not so for some. Moving on... I suggest you complete all your stalled homeworks during the holidays. Procrastinating is fun, but don't always do it. There's a high chance of getting lectures from teachers AND parents if you procrastinate too much. Oh and, don't go to places with many people too often since the H1N1 virus is still floating around. You don't want to be part of the infected too, do you?

So yeah, that should be all.

[POST RESPONSE] To crimsonteddy: Please bear in mind that the audience of this blog are not just members of 4M. Please differentiate between humour and disrespect. And that particular double-handed middle finger image is a no-go. I am against the use of foul words AND/OR offending images in posts. I can tolerate things like that in the cbox but not in posts. Sorry if you find that slightly offending, but there will be more who will get offended if they were to read your latest post. I hope you cooperate. Thank you.

The Tormented Soul of School FEES...

A very short post this is to thou who hath not paid their fees.

~Pay it or it will torment you for the rest of the year, perhaps next year too~

~The fees are only RM106.50~

~WOOOOoooooo~

Be scared, be very scared.

p/s: Lol, I was watching Scary Movie 2 yesterday. So actually there's not much reason behind the dumb "ghost-like" post. It just suddenly came to my mind. XD

A NEW MEMBER TO THE TEAM!

Hey people...i was instructed by the admins of this blog to revive this dead and forgotten blog...

it wont be an easy job but i think im up to the task...

this is what the blog is now...

this is what i am gonna make it...

so get ready to get your minds blown by the sheer awesomeness that is me...:D

signing off

Shifted - Assessment 2

Just a little announcement in case you didn't notice the announcement on the board earlier. Tomorrow the Physics and Add Maths test is shifted to after recess. According to the schedule, it was suppose to be before recess but Mr Shukur just told me this morning that it was shifted to after recess. So, I don't really know which one to follow either. So, I'd suggest you just bring all the books required in our original class timetable. Add Maths and Physics lessons is on the same day too. So, it shouldn't be a problem.

That should sum it up.

Money, money, money...

Yup, money.

Pay up yer MONEY

2. Additional Fees - RM 64.50

3. Toilet Fee - RM 2

4. T-shirt - RM4.50

->Size 6 x 9 with border - RM 5.00

3. Size 8 x 12 without border - RM 8.00

->Size 8 x 12 with border - RM 8.50

That should be all about money. Next up are just regular announcements.

Announcements

1. Those who have not submit their Chem PEKA, do it tomorrow.

-> This announcement is targeted especially at Colin, Ethan and... I forgot who.

2. PJ tomorrow for boys. For girls, I don't have any clue. (Update DESPERATELY needed)

3. To BSMM - formerly PBSM - members, there will be a meeting this Saturday. Refer to the BSMM board or SP's BSMM blog here.

Find information about your corresponding subject and prepare it by this weekend
(3 May 2009)

And bring them on Monday.

Bring a wrapping paper for your own table too.

Posting Temporarily Disabled : Comments Guide

"Unable to connect to the remote computer" This particular line appears every time I try to connect to the internet. So for the mean time, I would be posting things less often. At most, maybe 1 to 2 posts a week. Hopefully Ashmeer can take my place for the meant time, if you're free or bored la. XD

Comments/Inquiries Guide
I never posted this before. So expectedly, I never really know who is posting the comments up.
Knowing that, I think I better post a brief guide on how to comment. Sounds petty but I prefer the blog to be more organized.

How-to-comment:
1) Click the "n INQUIRIES" link at the bottom of any post. (n refers to the number of inquiries written earlier)
2) Type whatever you want to type there. And;
3) Press the arrow in the Comment as: box and choos which option you prefer.
OR
3) You could simply place your signature there. Eg: Yours til i trip (Arina)
4) Lastly, press the Post Comment button.

That should cover it.

Last but not least, don't believe that "im Deleting the Blog... bal bla bla" line in the cbox. I didn't put that up. My name would always appear orange in the cbox. Anyway if any of those things appear again, inform me immediately.

That's all for now. Oh yah, Hilman said Hi... XD

I'm out of ideas for the title....~~~ sienz

Haha, it's been quite some time since the last post, eh? I've been kinda busy with the new layout. Just a few reminders and notifications....

Biology

We'll be conducting an experiment on Wednesday. The experiment revolves around the concentration of solutions, I think. So, I'll advise you to bring a potato for yourself. Although you'll be in a group of 4, it'd be better if you just bring one just in case other group members didn't bring their share of potatoes. Just make sure the potato isn't too small. We need to observe what would happen to it. 

Ah, I just remembered there were still some of those who didn't get their Paper 3 exercises. The one on the erythrocytes.So if you want the exercise, come and see me. I still have a few more copies with me. And thats all for Bio.

Secondly is Physics

Yah, physics PEKA. Tomorrow's the deadline. Submit your PEKA tomorrow. Don't really have much to say about this. So, that's it lah. Oh yah, there's still another thing. Prepare a report on your rocket.

Next is Results Slip

If your name is listed here, please bring your Results Slip tomorrow.

a) Alvin

b) Veno

c) Vinod

d) Arina

Yeah, bring it tomorrow, kay? I only need 4 more. I've been holding 33 of these since the last 2 or 3 weeks, so please help me get rid of the extra load in my bag. XD

Chemistry

Those 10-12 pupils who haven't pass up your exercise book, please do so. The deadline was weeks ago. Chances had been given. Just don't take things for granted. What's the point of giving chances if you don't try your best to use it to the fullest? Ah and yes, summarise the notes on chemistry located below. Or just use this link if you're lazy.

Bahasa

Haha. Pass up your Karangan book tomorrow. The essay is about the Rumahku Syurgaku letter, if i'm not mistaken. So, finish it up and I'll collect it first thing tomorrow.

Add Maths

We'll be having extra class this Friday until 12:50 pm. So, inform whoever is picking you up that you'll be a bit late.

PJ (For boys)

Directed to all 4M/J boys. We'll be having PJ on Wednesday to finish up the SEGAK test. There'll be a bit of push-ups and sit-ups, i think. So, best prepare yourself if you feel like impressing some anonymous person. Isn't that right, Nic?

Science & Maths Society

The S&M society is organizing Explorace as part of their participation in the Academic Month. The race is open to all morning-session pupils. A fee of RM4 will be charged on each group and each must have only 4 group members. No more, no less than that. Further information can be obtained at the S&M notice board located on the ground floor of Block B. Or if you don't like walking to the board, you can always have the walking board, Parri, come to you instead. XD

I don't think I want to bring up anything about the Sport's Day. So, that's the end of the first post for the new layout and that's all until the next post comes, I guess.

3, 2, 1, Launch

Tomorrow is your rocket-launching day. Get your rocket and parachute ready and be prepared for inconvenient conditions. May the wind be on our side.

Physics PEKA - Submit by Friday. Latest by next Tuesday.

New Layout Development

The new layout might take some time to be applied here since the layout that you saw had an error regarding the banner. So, maybe I'll try to learn the XML code and rebuild the layout.The earliest the layout would be up is by the mid-term holidays. Anyone who have experience and advanced knowledge on XML codes, please assist me. I'm just modifying any part I can understand.

Sports Day is coming soon. For those who took part in competitions and taekwondo demo, you'd better prepare yourself well. There's a full rehearsal tomorrow too so, do your best. XD

~I dream of sleeping~

Hari Terbuka Coming.... sienz

As you all are informed, this Friday is the Open Day so as Nic put it "Brace yourselves!" Ong, you're in charge of the chair arrangements. Anyone who's creative can write the welcome note on the whiteboard. Of course, do it on the day itself. Bring some reading materials or unfinished homeworks to do while waiting for your parents.

Alright, that would be for the day after tomorrow. As for tomorrow, bring your completed Chem Lab Book and pass it up tomorrow. If you forgot, make sure you bring it on Friday. Load an extra buck in your arsenal (LOL). Johanan should be able to collect the class fees tomorrow. Hmm... that should be all. AJK's, if you think I missed something, inform me through the cbox.

Let's do SUKANTARA

Based on the above title, i'm sure all of you know what does it mean. We have Sukantara tomorrow. Boys, please wear or at least bring your PJ clothes tomorrow. Girls, I seriously have no idea but most probably you'll be having Sukantara too. 

Yes, I know. The posts are getting shorter post by post. There just isn't much to write lately. Well anyway, just wanted to say Happy Birthday Reenisha!!! That should be all for the paragraphic article. The rest looks better in point form.

_________________________________

<--Reminders-->

1. Bring your own cup tomorrow unless you're willing to pay more for your drinks. Tomorrow's recess is from 10.30 to 11.25 am. (Information credits goes to Alia)

2. Print the Chem checklist. The link is in the previous post.

3. Those who haven't done their Lisan yet, please prepare. You can do it tomorrow in class during recess. If i am not mistaken, that is.

4. This is the most important thing. Do all your homeworks and BE HAPPY... XD (Yes, I noticed it too. I'm not being formal any longer)

MON(DAY) = HO^LI(DAY)

As most you would have known, Monday is a holiday. Unless you're going to the Maulidur Rasul celebrations, that is. I really have nothing else to say so, I'll just get to the point.

1. Pn Wong ask us to print this http://smkbsa.net/english/CHECKLIST.htm. Please print it and paste it... somewhere? I forgot where we should paste it, DX. Nevermind that, the main thing is that you must get a hardcopy of it.

2. Anyone who's interested in 'Pidato' or 'Bahas ala Parlimen' or 'Mendeklamasikan Sajak', please inform me by.... next week.

3. Please bring a 10sen coin to school on Tuesday. I need to photostat your Physics exersice. It's just one page. Don't expect me to be doing charity work. I did that once, and i'm not planning to do it again anytime soon.

4. UPDATE: You can't use 'Di samping itu,' as penanda wacana anymore. It's not accepted because 'itu' refer to something abstract. It can still be used in a normal sentence, though. But the phrase must be followed by a concrete object. Eg. ... di samping sebuah rumah... In this case, the house is the concrete object. For more information and updates, please inquire Pn Wee.

So, that should be all. Anyone who needs some notes to be posted, please request it. I know i've mentioned this around 8 times, but please request if you ever need any. Don't come to school and complain to me i'm not posting any notes up here like Richard did. (I'll only post unrequested if more than 7 students is not in the class) If you need any, please request through the inquiries option. Don't ask for solutions or answers of a certain assignment, maybe i'll post a guide but never an answer. So, don't ask for answers.

PJ TOMARRROW

As promised, the Mod Maths exercise. Please solve all the questions in Book 3.

Friday<--->Feb 5, 2009

Questions

1. List all the elements and state the number of elements in the set.

a) P = { x : 0 ≤ x ≤ 4, P is an integer}

b) S is the set of months that begin with letter J.

2. Determine whether the set is an empty set.

a) Q is the set of months which has 29 days.

b) P = {x : x is a multiple of 2, -2 ≤ x ≤ 3}

3. Find the sets that are equal. *Please match the questions together*

a) B = {4, 64, 16, 49, 36, 9, 25}

b) E = {colours in Jalur Gemilang}

c) V = {Perfect squares}

d) Y = {yellow, white, blue, red}

4. Given A = {x : x is a multiple of 5, 5 ≤ x ≤ 30}

<------>B = {c : c is a factor of 125}

<------>C = {m, 15, 20, n, 10}

a) List the elements in set A and set B.

b) State of n(A) and n(B)

c) If A = C,  A and m and n

d) Use Venn diagram to represent set A, set B, set C, n(A), n(B), n(C).

That should be all for mod maths.

p/s: Ameer, your Penulisan book is still with me. Please come to school tomorrow to pick up the book from me unless you're willing to rush completing the Pemahaman. Before coming to school, please verify your presence there. Give me a call about the book. My cellphone number is 019-2033757.

: Mod Maths : Homeworks :

Those who weren't present in the class during Mod Maths, please write these down inside your notebook.

*Continue from the previous note*

Number of Sets

The symbol n(A) is used to denote the number of elements in set A.
Example: A {1, 3, 5, 7}

<------->n(A) = 4

Venn diagram: 

Example: 

P = {Prime factors of 30}

a) List all the elements of P

<--> P = { 2, 3, 5 }

b) State n(P) *number of elements; the previous info is not compulsary

<--> n(P) = 3

c) Draw a Venn diagram to represent set P and n(P)

*Do this yourself*

Empty Set

1. Empty or null set is a set which has no elements.

2. Symbol for empty set { } or Ø

Note: {0}  or {Ø}  are not empty sets.

Example:

1. L = {an even prime number}

<>L = {2}

<>L ≠ { }

2. M = {odd numbers which are divisable by 4}

<>M = { } or M = Ø

Example:

1. N is a set of month which begins with the letter C.

<>N = { }

Equal Set

2 sets, A and B are equal if each element in set A is also element in set B and vice versa.

Example:

1. A = { P, O, t}

<>B = { O, t, P}

<>A = B

2. X = {1, 2, 3, 4}

<>Y = { 2, 3, 4, 5}

<>X ≠ Y

Example: 

Find the value of x in the equal sets.

{ 2x, 7} = { 7, 9}

<-->2x = 9

<---> x = 9/2

Apologies for the late post. As my excuse for the lateness is currently irrelevant, I shan't explain myself. Today's homework shall be posted below; prefects, please take note. Right below is today's physics notes and below the notes are the exercises.

Thursday<---->Feb 5, 2009

Chapter 2: Forces and Motion

2.1 Linear Motion

Distance and Displacement

1. Distance is a scalar quantity whereas displacement is a vector quantity.

2. Displacement is measured by the length of a s

traight line joining in a specific direction.

3. Displacement is the distance travelled in a specific direction.

*Please draw*

Example 1

If a boy takes 10s to finish each of the following paths AB. Find the total distance travelled, and the displacement in each case.

*Please draw*

Total distance travelled

= 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 8

= 28m

Displacement

=Shortest distance A and B

= (4 + 8) m

= 12m

*Jot these down on the exercise book*
