3:51 PM  Many students of Band 2 now face a problem. With only an average of 2 passes per class in the S4 Express stream for English, little see hope in the route ahead of them. The Earth had opened and many fell in. I'm one of those who're still clinging dearly to the edge of the pit for life. With nothing to lean on, it's normal to feel the sense of being left out. With every bit of debris, one after another, coming in all directions, hitting me, it's tormenting me! I can't hold on any longer!A sense of despair hit me, yet again. When Mrs S stepped into class again today for English. I need a break from games! And I know that lessons is the only time whereby I can study the most during the day. "You've 3 choice now because Midyears are over. First, I'll study with you. Second, watch a movie. Third, do our own work." - Mrs S. The things that comes out from her mouth are more or less expected. It's either fun or games, never work. It may seems like a paradise to all students in a way, but to the S4 express class, it's no fun at all. The school's standards are already dropping in terms of English. Just why isn't anything done to prevent the grades from plummeting down to hell?! The mean grade for S4 Express English is now either an E8 or a F9, and it's actually possible for me to imagine if there's anyone getting an U-grade or lower. A sense of victory came over us when the HOD of English offered to teach this class, but nothings left for us to cheer and work about upon Mrs S's return. I dare not even ask for a target higher than a C5 for O-level English now. This really sets me thinking on what have the school done in the past that have lead it to this state. I shan't elaborate further on this topic. Tiong Lin and I had quite a lot of fun during English lesson just now! Had a chemistry of revision, fun, and laughter! Especially with a mathematics psychic like Tiong Lin, I sure learnt a lot! We were finding things to play with and managed to draw many tic-tack-toes and some cancelling game in which he cheated... Till I suggested that we "play" with Binomial expansions. So I started drawing the first 3 rows of the Pascal's Triangle and asked him to continue. What startled me was his ability to continue 5 more rows! It's really nice of him to teach me how. And we came out with a really nice 14-row Pascal's Triangle on one of the 4B's table (I'm sorry to that table's user. But it's a really nice Triangular pattern!) .jpg) Sorry for the blur image and the flashlight from my phone that blocked out some parts of the Triangle. I later did something really dumb - to complete another 15-row Pascal's Triangle during DnT lesson. I know this was something that I shouldn't be doing during those lesson, but I'm trying to save those time that was wasted indirectly by training my mental calculations and hopefully be able to score for Binomial sections in my coming O-level!
