A scholar, leader & global citizen

Today got a lift from melin to the ACS (IB) open house, picked up FYL on the way. We were there like super early, so we went around collecting notes and enquiring about the programme taking particular interest in the TOK and the EE section. Then we had to sit down and listen to this boring talk on why we should choose IB over the A levels, it was quite impressive seeing how the IB standard in AC is rather high. Melin and I discussed what our 6 subjects would be and found out that we would take the same subjects. After the talk, met lianne and ttm and yanka. Toured the programmes once more with them, lianne was in a dilemma but i tried to convince her that though both of us want to study medicine, the IB route can pose more benefits than the A levels. Then after that, went to the Daily Scoop with them where had double scoop (my diet is so not working) of icecream which was great. Lianne found out that her camera's flash worked. TTM's lychee martini was super yummy. happy for the free water, yes i am aunty. After seconds, took a lift back home and..yar.

I hope i get into IB and in the same class as Lianne, Melin, TTM and yanka. That would be so much fun. DSAing would be hard cause i have nothing to fill into the section for "Special Academic awards and acheivements". Melin and i decided to add in random stuff like our good essays to sway the ppl in IB. Oh, and the extended essays done by the seniors of the school were incredibly impressive. 15 books for english seems to be a daunting task but the course work is fun, so i heard from their teacher Mr Quek. Have decided to take the following subjects (i think melin and ttm and lianne would be oding likewise)

1) Higher English
2) Standard chinese B (cause acc to the lao shi, unless you get A2 at least for higher chinese you should take this)
3) Higher Econs/ standard Econs
4) Higher chem
5) Standard Bio/higher Bio
6) Standard Math

Not sure whether to take higher econs or higher bio, i think i sould take higher bio cause i want to do medicine. But econs would help me if i decide to do a minor in buisness next time. Maybemaybe. Sigh, why think about what to choose when i have not entered the school..and another interesting fact we discovered, the pullover really makes a difference in how you look in their school u. And converse balck sneakers are the standard school shoes there..strange.

Going to moan over my chinese hw now. And lit. Maybe tmr.
