My fav subjects

at 'o' levels, i liked all my subjects that i was studying except the humanities meaning social studies and history...though it is not always that i score very well for all of them............

to me, my favourite subjects are not neccessary the ones i score very well in, nor is it because i have the best teachers, and also not because that particular subject is easy, though all these do play a part in the degree of like-ness........

e.g. i like learning german in secondary sch, though i have never gotten at A for it in sec 4 before, i like it all the same, though i have to memorised many vocabulary for the compositions that i have to practise often and remember all that confusing nominativ, genitiv, dativ, akkusativ forms and the masculine, feminine and neutral pronouns and the many endings......and exceptions, i like it all the same... but i didnt take it in JC was becos it will be like learning german lit and i felt that wasnt up to it......but still i like german.

then there was maths, it was like a love-hate relationship, i can like and hate maths at the same time! it was a subject that i have been steadily acing in my secondary sch years.... though differentation and and intergration gives me headaches oft and make us go berserk over it, i still like maths al l the same... it was lucky that i had a wonderful teacher, mrs yeo then, she talks very fast, yet we understands wat she is teaching, and gives us lots of practice..........

for english, that's one frustrating subject that i can never aced. language skills are built up on foundations laid long long ago, my foundations were never strong, though i read avidly, grammar rules never seemed to go in........so is vocab so i am always stuck to a B/C-grade, really irritating situation............luckily i had a very dedicated teacher, mrs heng, who speaks and enuciates her word so clearly we cant help but learn to speak nicely too and ace our o lvls orals(i hope)..........her classes are fun and interesting..though i sometimes dislike the compositions we have to do.....

for the sciences, both bio and chem are memorising work while phy is hard on application...................i like bio but i hate memorising, so that was why before prelims my grades sturck to bs and Cs.......cos i dislike memorising every little detail, like how the who production of Penicilin is carried out or what and when exactly do each hormone in the female's menstrual cycle does and appears or what kind of microorganism is used for hte production of cheese and yoghurt and wat not.............i like learning abt them, esp stem cells and cloning and DNA but not memorising........... for chem, memorising wasnt so difficult, cos we had many TYS practices so we applied wat we learnt regulary to qns so everything that needs to be memorised is somehow up there alr......for phy, i hate swallowing the whole textbook too on the defintions and formulas.........somehow, i still manage to score As often for this subject though i dont like it as much as the former 2............but now anways, my PHY is horrible cos i am clueless abt wat is happening during the lecture la! econs is worse! and yong tau fu isnt helping much..........haix

but anyways, what i want to say is even aft such a horrible JC1 CT, i still love my subjects!(:
