AMC, SMC

it's been a very long time since i've updated.its not that i'm very busy or what but i'm just being caught up in "JC Life".just wanna enjoy the bliss while i can.much have happen how the past few weeks.we just got our classes today i'm in 1SC7.seems like an interesting class hopefully they will be a fun lot of people.

academics for JC 1 has yet to reach 2 weeks and i was like involved in 2 academic competitions.crazy man.luckily the results were comendable.whew... if not it would have been a total waste of my time...

firstly was the AMC thing.in ACJC to join this competition like all of us have to go through a selection test before we can take part.welll thats smth new to me.in sec school it was like all in the maths olympiad programme has to take part in AMC, SMO blah blah blah....


so like i didn't even studied maths for like the past 3 mths so i think i wasn't really at my peak performance i think.but by God's grace i managed to make it into the highly acclaimed team.both J1s and J2s had to compete together so it was like some sort of disadvantage to us....so in the end only 30 out of the multitues made the cut and i'm happen to be one of them.hahas.was rather surprised though...so we shall wait for the actually competition

then the other competition was today held by the SMC.this time it was maths and science though there were far more greater emphasis on science and IT which i know nuts abt.maths was just a very small portion but the standard was pitched at much higher level for the maths component i felt that i was taking part in Maths Olympiad again.standards were really high.astronomy was crazy.bio, chem and physics was okay...

we had to form a team of 3.but 1 member could not make it and he was an ASEAN scholar so i was like our team die liao lah...cos the 1st round was based on the 3 individual scores add up.so by the end of the test i was like i don't think we stand a chance.cos when my other team members handed up their ans i glanced through their ans and those that i was rather sure i got correct, they had different ans so i was like gonna man.

then a funny thing was we were all along at the LT and the organisers call me up asking where we were and ask us to come to the LT now when in the 1st place we WERE IN THE LT.totally hilarious...at that point of time it didn't struck me that the only reason why they called me is to make sure we were present so we can proceed to the final round but of course i realised on hindsight that that was the only reason...they can't be calling up
so i(in fact all of us)were shocked that we made it into the finals.like only 3 teams made it out of the countless team that took part since every OG and class had to take part...that was really a surprised i must say.far greater than the AMC.i would like to think that all 3 of us contribute equally to the success i hope...i believe they did.so gonna collect our prize on friday...the inaugural one...

i finally knew the reason y i was placed here and not anywhere else.i knew that he had a purpose and i have a higher calling....every group right??
