Oppsgal:Not sure is it just me... Just now took train, when it stopped in between stations, I am wondering will the same happen to me - stuck in the train due to disruption. :shock: Thankfully, after few seconds the train move on.
Then again, another few stations, stopped again...
Again move on. :faint: After the couple of stopping in between the train move on. Husband ask why I make so much noise just for the few minutes stopping in the middle of station...
a child:thanks, a child :celebrate:Shoot:a child,... may i what p5 GEP is like...?(next year for me...) ...just asking...:?
It follows a similar structure as P4, just more projects, more experimental learning. And also bigger and more complicated projects like the ISO. It will be fun as long as you don't procrastinate and leave stuff till the night before it's due and realize that god you still have 3 reflections to do plus every single second draft because you haven't done anything after the draft 1 deadline. Teachers are usually very reasonable and give weeks and weeks of time for projects but somehow we have a tendency to finish everything on the very last day. This is especially applicable to year-long projects like the ISO. Though you meet with mentors every week it's still up to you to do the work. If you want to it is amazingly simple to avoid being scolded by teachers despite not doing work. That shouldn't be the motivation. Rather think what'll happen if you try cramming every single part of your IRS in your last week. Not pretty. Time management's very very important, and it's the one skill teachers don't really teach. Everything else, the content knowledge and stuff, leave it to them. They know they're stuff.
And a note about the projects: though the style is similar to P4, but most likely the teachers won't hold your hand as often, so it's up to you to consult them. If you don't understand they're comments, seek them actively. They aren't mind-readers and they won't know if you don't understand. For one of the ERPs my teacher was going to have me re-do but I consulted her and we realized that it was only one part that needed editing. Time saved: hours.
P5 will certainly be one of the most engaging and thrilling years in the program. Other than the in-school curriculum there's also tons of other competitions and camps that you can participate in. If you have interest in any particular subject as well as (hopefully) an aptitude in it try to show it in class or by doing some extra preparation for competitions like Math Olympiad. It pays off. If you do well in the first few (like SMOPS, NMOS) that everybody's allowed to take most likely you'll be recommended for future competitions and programs and everything will flow from there. Likewise if you're missed by the teachers in the beginning of the year it is very difficult to make up for it later one, because based on my experience at least the pupils sent for competitions for a particular subject tend to be the same. Also don't think competitions = extra. Even though competitions =/= GEP it certainly is an integral component of it that few mainstreamers are exposed to. In the center I was from, during competitions where we have say a team of 6, 5 are GEPers and only one from mainstream. This is (for the more kiasu) also an important part of the DSA portfolio.
Good luck for next year! Many say it is THE YEAR of GEP which encapsulates everything that GEP ever stood for and the whole GEP spirit, and in a way it is: the year with most projects, competitions, activities, etc. Enjoy! (and at the same time attempt to get decent grades because you'll need those next year for DSA)

Try to mash up the food(not liked) and mash up other(liked) food... and mix it up...if it tastes nice... good 4 U! 
i tried this on myself once(ilan bilis)...IT WORKED!!! 
cherrygal:This fussy with food case was mentioned in Daddy 101 TV prog on Ch 8. The psychologist said the kid is very sensitive to textures. So she advised the parents to blend the veggies. However, the kid still refused to take the blended veggies as he could smell it. The parents did not blend all the food together. They only blended the veggies and tried to give it with plain rice and chicken pieces.
IMHO, think they need to blend the chicken and veggies together and mix with the soup and rice, like a porridge. I did that for my gal as she didn't like meat pieces and she had no problems taking the blended porridge.
Another thing I observed was the parents tried too much to follow what child experts say by not letting the kid watch TV while eating. I find that if my kid is not watching TV, she will pay too much attention to what I am giving her and will refuse meat, carrots etc. When she watches TV, she just eats what I put in her mouth. I dun care what experts say but this works for me.
new(not so much jam) The election results now?
