Came baq from uk jus in time for e prom, had actually rescheduled my flight to return to singapore earlier, otherwise wouldn't have made it for e prom. But luckily i was there... being able to see my stds for e last time, at least officially for e last time... is alreadi a good enuf reason to be there... almost cant recognise many stds initially... all of a sudden had turned into handsome young men n charming yound ladies... but did all turn baq into toads when e clock struck twelve? haha...
Unfortunately my camera batt was flat, otherwise i would have some photos posted on tis website... so pp whom i had taken photos wif, please email me e photos k!

My blog revived!
I have neglected my chowamushii blog for a long long time alreadi... sorry readers for e long wait :(
Over the past few mths, all my energy had been directed towards preparing my stds for e A-levels... so i m sure my dear readers will forgive me for not updating my blog rite? sound so noble huh? haha... i m sure most trs would oso ve done their best to help their stds... jus feel tat it is partly my responsible to help my stds, esp since i m in-charge of e physics unit... e feeling of taking care of all 600 physics stds is quite a heavy responsibility... but at e same time it has realli been satisfying doing tat.... i tink i've not told anyone tat i wont be in-charge of physics next year anymore... kinda sad :( will be taking charge of IT instead... an area tat i m oso interested in, so i guess i ll be enjoying my work too... so less of physics admin work.. perhaps can then spend more time giving interacting wif my stds next year n conducting more marathon remedials! (S68 u rem e physics camp tat i conducted in j1? S72 & 74 our final and intensive battle jus a month b4 A-levels... S7A no long remedial, as most of u had learnt ur stuff well during tutorials!)
oh yes, most of u told me tat e physics papers were tough rite? indeed. but in general, a challenging paper would actually be to our advantage.... why? cos stds from most other JCs ll most probably found e papers doubly hard! (not trying to put e other JCs down, but tat is generally wad ll happen...) so cheer up n dun be overly depressed k :)
I mus say i had enjoyed teaching everyone of u in my classes, although i felt i cld have done more. no choice lah, i have to oso take care of e rest of e stds in e cohort... doing all e planning etc... but there again, it is never enuf... hope most of u had enjoyed e times tat we had together as much as i had..
Sounds like a farewell speech to all of u... (my eyes getting a little wet, urs too?)... haha will miss everyone :)

Amendment to recommended list
I forgot to include ideal gases and thermodynamics in my list. Also must remember to revise fluids. I have attached June paper Physics questions in EMB so you might also want to take a look.

I love chow!
Hee I added a 'I love chow only option' as many have reflected tat they love chow but dun like physics!
Tips for Physics Paper 3!
I understand that Physics paper 2 was quite challenging! Dun panic, I m sure most stds, not jus Hwa Chong students, would have found the paper very challenging too... in fact, it might be to our favour...
In any case, dun let ur performance of papers tat u ve taken to affect ur performance... in fact paper 3 would be the most impt paper as it constitutes the most number of marks. Many stds have been asking mi abt tips. Frankly, no one knows what will come out for paper 3. But I would strongly recommend that you focus on the following topics (in order of priority):
1. Kinematics, Dynamics (Newton's laws), Forces & Work, Energy and Power.
2. Gravitaion* & Electric Field*
3. Electromagnetism and Electromagnetic Induction*
4. Electronics* & AC
5. Radioactivity* & Quantum Physics - Photoelectric effect and line spectra*
6. General Waves concepts (phase, progressive waves, polarisation etc) and Stationary Waves
Of course, the questions that might be set could be a mixture of different topics. But if you focus on at least 4 of the above sections you should be fine. Personally I like to do questions on those topics with *, 'cause they are generally easier to score well. If possible, focus on the topics that you are more confident in doing. Practise and look through as many questions as possible, especially definitions and derivations.
Ok, that's all folks! I think you should feel better after paper 3. Good luck to all!
PS: The above is just some recommendations and not quite a prediction for what will come out for paper 3, so please do not hold me responsible (or scratch my car) if the info has not been particularly helpful for you.

Crazy Crazy!
prelim papers from other jcs arrived early this week, and as usual, we will leave the other top 4 JCs papers with the photocopy shop for students to print. But thought it's quite thick and probably would cost more than 10 bucks to print, so the chow nice Hwa Chong physics dept.. haha... decided to shrink two pages into one to help students to save some cost... ridiculously when mr samuel tan went to inform the photocopy shop lady to print the reduced sized version for e stds, she refused to do it and said her boss gave her the instructions to use only their copies! How can they earn money from stds so unscrupulously! And so unfair to stds who can't afford to buy the papers.... depriving them of the chance to improve themselves during this most crucial moment! Really crazy man!
So i informed some of my stds to get the reduced size copy from mi... joanNA came to borrow the set to print in coro which costs merely 4.40! and the photocopy shop i heard is selling more than 10 buck per set! No way will I continue to let them bully my stds man!
Dun care liao, i gonna print one set for every class, so whoever interested the class can print for them! And I m gonna put up some softcopies of e prelim papers tat i manage to get from my friends, into IVLE. See who can still bully my students!
