the 168 victims whom i know were "tormented" for 2 full hours.. the "killer" confused their minds totally and zapped them totally of their brain juice! They were pronounced as brain dead at 1240 pm sharp today. no matter how they tried to fight against the "killer", he seems to be invincible.. it seems as if it was impossible to overcome him..

who is he!? who is this merciless killer!?

he is none other than the year end physics exam paper that my students took today!!

judging from the results of the mcqs, it proves to be a killer paper this time round. However, it's ok since everyone experienced the same impact from the "killer"! No worries! the wisest thing to do now is to concentrate on the remaining papers and learn from your mistakes when the paper is returned back to you!

my earnest plea: don't hate physix bcos of this killer! purpose in your heart to conquer it instead! :D

was having dinner @ BK on wed night and this WILD and WOW idea came to me!

I was thinking that 10 years down the road, if I am not teaching anymore, I will most probably be a full-time home tutor or be doing my own little business. By then, all the students I have been teaching would be grown-ups and working in the society. I would love to catch up with them over a meal to talk about the good old times and also to find out how they are coping with life and provide advice or help as a friend by then.. Also, I hope to put my passion for physix to good use and share with others how interesting it can be! Therefore, with ALL these in mind, I thought of the idea of opening a RESTAURANT with a PHYSIX theme! :D

I thought of the name "papaphysix's selah" or "papaphysix's food gallery". prefer the former as selah (in hebrew) means to take a break (by taking a step back from the rat race and just slow down and enjoy the moment!)

as for how I am going to decorate the place and the creative and interesting things that I am going to do, I shall not mention further cos it's top secret and one of a kind! :P anyway, if you also have ideas to share with me, do tell me please!! :D

share a small example:
instead of having a simple PUSH/PULL sign at the entrance door, I would have it as "PUSH is a force" on one side and "PULL me back like a magnet!" on the other side of the door!

I have finished marking the scripts for 301, 302 and 304...

Let's try to look at the results on the bright side of life...

It is tested on an entire year of work... that's quite a lot to remember... but i did create mindmaps to help, didn't i?

It is a difficult paper... definitely above O levels standard and the time allocated is not really enough for you to think through... but it will train you well for your O levels and you will be able to pass and do well in it with ease, isn't it? not many scored A1 and A2 but there are a couple of them who still made it above 80!

it came after s.s... i guess the first paper wore your brain down to do the physix paper at your best...

oh well, the real results will be out tmr! :D
