Pinball frenzy
Class started off with mathematics today. There was to be a test today as promised. However, Mr. Ong gave us some questions on vectors first before proceeding with the test. Yes, the vector questions were very familiar. However, there was a new type of questions asked, or maybe it was that I did not do enough exercise during my high school years to notice it. Anyhow it asked about the value of a certain vector if a parallelogram was to be formed. Finished it before one hour was up and went to the A-Levels office. There I played a game of pinball. Was later joined by my friends.

We went back to the classroom to continue with our test. A fifty five minutes test on trigonometry. I still could not get the trigonometry equation right. I divided the equation on both sides which in fact is not the right step as some of the values for theta will vanish with it. Only after the test did I realise the mistake made. Thanks Steven. I have to constantly remind myself from now onwards. Do not divide or multiply but bring it to the left or right for subtraction or addition!
Can you obtain 1,000,000,000 in pinball?
We received our chemistry test marks later on. I got a 28/45, not too bad for someone who did not study for the test. The highest was 37.5. Realised that A-Levels is about common sense as they would give choices of answers which are correct but also wrong under certain circumstances. I got cheated on one of the objective questions. Part B saved me. If not, I would've received a lower mark. We did an experiment on the enzyme concentration for biology today. It was time consuming as we had to wait for the enzymes to catalyse the breaking down of starch to glucose. While waiting for time to pass by, we chatted and made noise as usual. My group obtained weird results at the end of the experiment. Therefore, we borrowed results from the other group.
Waiting for the clock to tick
I have always encountered problems with photobucket at night. Connection to that website seems to be very poor. However, I installed the feature which enables me to upload photos from my computer directly to photobucket. Guess what, it helps! Although it encounters connection problems once a while. For those who have photobucket, go download the feature!
