2010 arrived some time ago, and now I am a Sec 2 student in Hwa Chong. I think I did well last year and I aim to do the same again this year. This year I am in class 2A3, but my form teacher is still Ms Yap. This year I am again in the CMC, holding the role of secretary this time. (I heard from people it is a slack job XD)

Anyway, a main difference in the subjects taught this year is that there is no more general science, instead it is split into chemistry, physics and biology. Another thing to note is that our history textbook is very heavy, and as the lady from the bookstore stated, it is "imported". Still, I enjoy having these classes as they are very interesting and enriching.

As of week 5 now, I think that lessons are going on very well and I am coping with the curriculum. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I am in a "Futureschool" programme this year. Students from these classes (there are two in Aphelion, my class and 2A1) are supposedly to be more independent and are supposed to research topics to be taught before lesson time. The thing I like about this is that we can bring laptops to school and they will be used in class! I think this will cause the students to be more engaging in class discussions and not fall asleep as they are surfing the internet. (based on my experiences :P)

I will be posting more regularly from now on. I would like to see comments on your favourite subjects this year and also what you think about the "Futureschool" programme. Have a good week!
