Everyone seemed so restless in school today. Somehow, my classmates did not laugh much, and I did nothing much in school today. I see most of the people struggling to attend lectures and lessons today. And to me, this did not seem to be the case for my class. Hey, I did not mean that my classmates and me enjoy lectures and tutorials alot. But what I was refering is the atmosphere which my classmates usually have while walking to venues for lessons.I missed school yesterday as I was sick and headed to see my specialist. But little would I know that so much had happened in a single day that I have missed out. More than half of my class skipped the brilliant GP module idea which the GP department of JJC has came up since I do not know when. In this plan which they have thought of, students are allowed to choose a topic which they are most interested in out of all the choices provided. They would then evaluate the response of the students and group students from various classes into a single class of about 20+ people for a 2-hour tutorial.At the end all of day, students are still required to attend all the module choices given by the teachers. The thing thing that differs is that time which we take the course! The GP combined class, to me, is a lame waste of time. A stack of notes is bought during our first lesson and everything the teacher-in-charge did and said were practically straight from the notes! The teacher whom we are assigned to are often no difference from a stranger to many of us. As a result, not much communication occurs during the 2-hour lesson. I do not know what your view point is, but I personally feel that it will be much better to interact with my own GP tutor than a 'stranger'! HahsAlright, it should be time for me to divert my topic before any controversy strucks in the GP department! Hahs.School is still a challenging place for me to be in. No, I am not worry about the results orientated society in JJ, or even in Singapore. I am just challenged to be on task in the assignments given to me. The work load seems much more than what I used to have last year! On top of all these, I still have to handle things that are going on simultaneously in my life. In the bible, God says that I am the head and not the tail! And so, I believe that I will be able to be on task in my work ASAP! Let's say, by this week? Hahs. =)
I went home with Jian Chao and Jie Sheng (my classamtes) today. Due to the lack of seats in the bus, Jie Sheng sat at a seat quite a distance away from me and Jian Chao. I began chatting with Jian Chao to see how yesterday was. The conversation was then once again on the hot topic in our class, i.e. the ponning of GP module yesterday. Just in case you wonder why it is such a hot topic, it is because the teacher-in-charge of a particular class which 8 of my classmates are in discovered the truancy of some classmates and reported that issue to our GP tutor and CTs who were shocked and raging after receiving the news.
I asked Jian Chao if he skipped the class yesterday and he replied no. He told me that his module, Science and Religion, was interesting. And yesterday the class watched a clip on the Adam and Eve. Big bang theories like Adam and Eve were created through a period of evolution were given as conclusions of our existence. He asked me what I had to say and I strongly disagreed which such a big bang thoery. Big bang thoeries are no different from conclusions drawn by man after much thinking and assumption without hard evidence. I told him that it is God who created them. Whether man believe in God, the creator of man, or big bang theories depends alot on his belief.
If Adam and Eve were to really be created through evolution, why then do you not see anything transforming from one species to another over a period of more than 4 thousand years ever since Abraham lived? And if you really do believe in evolution, do you believe that human beings can be tansformed into something else just as many have believed that monkeys are the 'ancestors' of us? To me, big bang theories are no different from myths made up by human beings who want to satiate their curiousity.
What an argumental point I have over here. Hahs
