Jinified: I'm Back

 

- THIS IS A SHORT MOVIE -

Grab a bucket of popcorn and get ready to sail through the voices in my head

Finally Jinified is back after what it seems like an eternal break. I miss this blog so much and I felt really bad for neglecting this blog for quite some time. Let's get back to business, after I have officially settled down in Form 6. Talking about Form 6, I am glad we have a pretty strong lineup of teachers.For instance our class teacher is none other than Madam Saw who also teaches MUET. Besides that, we also have the female Einstein, Mrs Chong Lai Yoong. Most "frees" who apply for Physics are placed in 6RB. The class committee also consists mainly of "frees" and did I mention I was voted as the class treasurer, but I exchange with Zhen How for the post of secretary. This holiday comes at the right time when I needed to rejuvenate and prepare myself for some of great battles ahead. 

What is the plan ?

1. GVC 

Although the competition will commence on the 1st of October, but the planning is extremely crucial. I have done some really extensive research on the marking criteria. Maybe I will create a Wordpress blog solely for GVC where the public can share their ideas and thoughts. Besides that, starting from last year, the panel of judges has introduced a new criteria called Helping Focus. From my understanding, this requires the participating schools to help their community with what they are working on. In simple terms, community service. I was thinking of my pro-bono web design plan might be useful here. 

2. NRC 

This year National Robotics Competition Open Category theme is "Robot Improving Life". I am still in the process of laying down the framework for this project. From what I see, the theme could be interpreted in many ways and robots can be used in various ways. I wasn't really sure I should join this competition since the Form 6 classes will be going like bullet train. Somehow my heart is asking me to participate. 

3. School Magazine

I have decided to join the school Editorial board "officially" as the layout designer. at first i was reluctant to join the board because; firstly I really hate to be tied down and forced to be committed. And joining the board means i have to compromise my design for the likes of our great principal. Nevertheless, I join the board because for once I want to create a magazine that I truly want to buy. Who cares about limitation when you can kick reason in the face ? 

4. Designing T-Shirt 

I am planning to design t-shirt for Computer Club and maybe the sixth form society if they allow me to. I have all sorts of geeky ideas for the computer club t-shirt. As for the Form Six society, I don't think they want to label themselves as geeks.  

5. English presentation

Madam Saw gave us this assignment where the students have to find one newspaper article, news (documentary, talks or biography) and a movie. Then, they are required to present these 3 items in class by adding their personal opinions. I am really excited wit this project and the first thing that came to my mind is PowerPoint. I haven't touch this software for ages, and I would really like to use it once again to lay down my present my ideas. I hope what I'm going to talk about will inspire the class and learn something that will change their life. Talking in public always gives this creepy feeling which is like a cocktail with fear and ecstatic feeling. There is nothing wrong withe failures, because they don;t really care if you fail. For some clues on my presentation: Steve Job, gamestorming and hacking.

I know this is a pretty long post and if you didn't get lost in the sea of words; thank you. I just had to lash out all these thoughts in my mind before executing my plans. Maybe some of you were wondering how come studying is not included in my plan ? The reason is pretty simple, if I do that, you could probably call this a short movie instead of a blog post. And I detest the word studying because I don't study. Instead, I execute my plans and study should be treated like a strategy game. 

Happy Holiday !!!!
