Singapore Open and the disadvantage I am going through

[rachmaninovian]

3) You seem to enjoy the attention Mr. School Champion. Get over yourself.

4) If you are struggling to fit in, then perhaps you do not belong?

(3)if you didn't know I don't like to be the centre of attention.when crowds gather it makes me nervous.that's why I put how to calm nevousness thread.and it's probably those gossipers that told him.

(4)when you say that it makes me feel left out and means that you a very superior to say that I don't belong.

Again I am being CYBER - BULLIED!.

I feel like not joining this forum anymore!
No one wants me!

we are being rational.
as a STUDENT of nus high school of math and science I believe that I have heftier schoolwork than you. Besides, you're in...primary school...your fellow cubers here in Singapore are mostly secondary school students..

again, I never really studied for exams in primary school. You know why?

I study the entire semester's syllabus (besides english and mother tongue) BEFORE the start of the year...it only takes a day. to read through all the textbooks...then when the teacher goes through it gets hammered more into my brain.
After all, I needed to practise the piano a lot...so studying way beforehand gives me firstly, a headstart, and also, more time for piano and violin.
I emerge top of my level most of the time...well not bragging since I was from a neighbourhood school...now in my current school with people mugging their life away and me slacking all the way things go differently...and I lost motivation to prepare for lessons and I expect the teacher to deliver to me =P maybe I should revive that studying habit I have had.

you need to plan your studies well. not whine about it.

take care my friend.

sincerely,

And, usually schools will have their exam in week9-10.CA1is usually on those weeks.

Usually? Is this for all schools ? Or just yours?

I have homework everyday my teacher is very strict but resonable.I am in the 2nd competent class.pressure is very high.and if you did'nt study for primary school, how come you are in NUS high?

thanks. at least someone can give some advice and care.

Yes it is all the same.schools can't have it earlier or later.if it is later,students will have to sacrifice their week long holiday.if its earlier students have less time to study and to catch up.I know all this as my mother is a teacher.

 

[qqwref]

Look, dude. You knew when your exams were for a long time, and you have also been able to know the date of the Singapore Open for a long time. If you have an issue with the time you should have brought it up much earlier and told the competition organizers. It's WAY too late to change now and you should not be complaining because you didn't realize until now that you wouldn't be able to make the competition. It's your fault that you didn't bring it up when the date could have been changed.

Besides, if you absolutely can't go to the competition, that sucks, but there will be another one. Don't go crazy over missing a particular competition... it's not like you're trying for a potential national/world record or anything. You'll be much faster the next time a competition rolls around anyway. The only thing I can say is... just deal with it.

I was in the 1st class =P
Well...some people have better abilities in math and science than others? my sis....she got U-grades for math in junior college =P btw U-grade is below 20/100 ;D
and I have a pile of work to be done everyday, possibly more than you? so don't complain =P
plus many projects due....dude I'm way busier than you...

I did not know who to contact.but at least I know how to juggle my studies and cubing.

Please stop double/triple-posting. The edit button is there for a reason.

If you're this stressed in primary school, you'll be suicidal in secondary school. =.=

I can't really be bothered to argue but, the main idea is, if you think you lead a stressful life, you ain't seen nothing yet.

 

[rahulkadukar]

Well finally I think the post is over. If you are going to Singapore Open 2009 then I suggest you take some books, there is a lot of time between solves so you can read

 

[Leviticus]

Get over it. There's no competitions in Australia. If you were really concerned then you would organise a competition that fits your agenda.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Primary school exams? I didn't think my exams were problematic at all. I went to the Beijing Spring 2008 competition and went back home for my SATIIs the very next day.

but at least I know how to juggle my studies and cubing.

If you really did, you wouldn't have created this thread.

 

[rachmaninovian]

shussssssssh. he's just a 11/12 year old kid...just let him go...ignore this thread maybe.

 

[alpha]

They can at least have the competition during the term1 week-long break right ?wouldn't that be better?or better still end if the year after PSLE(I am taking it this year)wasn't this thought through?

I am a worrier

Have you ever wondered that maybe the organizers have other events planned during the holidays. And like I said before, you are not the only person taking a National Examination this year. Many other cubers are taking their N-levels, O-Levels, A-Levels, Diploma, Degrees and so on, i'm not making this up. Compared to ours, you have the least to study.

And, usually schools will have their exam in week9-10.CA1is usually on those weeks.and Sg.speedcuber is not my first choice of name I had other names in mind.and what second dumbest rule?

OMG I am being cyber -bullied!!

And I am the fastest cuber in my school I broke the former school record 22.80.whenever I compete against my friend,crowds gather to watch.
Even the discipline master says I am the school champion.how about that for well respected cuber.

Most schools are having their examinations in Week 10. The competition is in the end of week 8. That gives you a whole week to study for your CA1.

3) You seem to enjoy the attention Mr. School Champion. Get over yourself.

4) If you are struggling to fit in, then perhaps you do not belong?

I agree with Nicholas. Personally, I did not study for PSLE at all. I only studied for the Subject the night before the Paper. And I still aced it. And i was in the EM1 class.

We have been giving you lots of advices but you just don't seem to notice.

And, usually schools will have their exam in week9-10.CA1is usually on those weeks.

Yes it is all the same.schools can't have it earlier or later.if it is later,students will have to sacrifice their week long holiday.if its earlier students have less time to study and to catch up.I know all this as my mother is a teacher.

Since your mother is a teacher, why not ask her to teach you? You should be thankful you still have the week long holiday. The only holidays I'm ever having is in November.

Look, dude. You knew when your exams were for a long time, and you have also been able to know the date of the Singapore Open for a long time. If you have an issue with the time you should have brought it up much earlier and told the competition organizers.

I believe that you are a member of our local forums as well. And if you go here, http://www.rubiks.com.sg/forum/index.php?topic=74.0 , there is proof that we announced the registration on December 10. Which was more than 2 months ago. So its your fault for not planning your time well. And since you can't make it for this, why not wait for the SAFRA Challenge which will probably be held during the June or November holidays?

Well finally I think the post is over. If you are going to Singapore Open 2009 then I suggest you take some books, there is a lot of time between solves so you can read

I doubt he is going to stop. Anyway, listen to Rahul, take some books and study in between solves. Even though I'm an official, I will be bringing notes there too.

shussssssssh. he's just a 11/12 year old kid...just let him go...ignore this thread maybe.

Kids these days can be so unreasonable.

When you guys talk about meeting other cubers,I think I could talk to the many Malay cubers there(I mean the Sg open).Look at the list of registered competitors for Sg open at the WCA page.there are so many 'Muhammads' there.(including me!)( I'm the last 'Muhammad')

You have got to be kidding me! You're only taking part in ONE event, which is the 3x3. Its gonna be on Sunday, and you only need to report at 2pm. There is plenty of time to study, so just stop whining and spend that time studying.

The choice of date for Singapore Open is purely my fault. I happen to have a business trip to Singapore at the end of February. Since I am a WCA delegate and Singapore lacks one, I offered my services as a delegate if they were interested in hosting a competition the weekend of 28/2-1/3.

No one has rejected you. There are hundreds of people (in this world) that have broken 22.80 seconds (omg, don't tell me it's minutes), so it's not like you are the world's most famous cuber or anything. And it's YOUR responsibility to manage your time, and it's YOUR responsibility to prepare for your exams, not the Singapore Rubik's staff's.

Oh, since you are complaining about the competition, why does your signature say you are going there?

Well the reply under you (Sir E Brum) says so.-reply to 1st sentence.

I said in my school,not the world.get your facts right man!-reply to 2nd sentence.

If its 22 minutes, how can there be 80 secs?Get your maths right man!-reply to 2nd bracket.

famous cuber in my school.please lah,the world?very funny.-reply to 2nd part of the 2nd sentence.

I know how to manage my time.exmainations obviously.Exam not even start you say this, I really don't understand.-reply to 1st part of the 3rd sentence.

Rubik's staff,your Grandmother!what the hell you talking about?-reply to 2nd part of the 3rd sentence.

I put that signature before this thread.anyway i register already.I am so elated to go to compete in an intenational category.-reply to last sentence.

1. I replied before Sir E Brum, but now I agree with him that maybe you don't belong here.
2. You are the one acting like just a school record is as good as a world record.
3. 22.80 (if minutes) means 22 minutes and 0.8 of a minute or 80% of a minute. You need to do some serious checking on your math.
4. It is funny given the situation of your arrogance.
5. Obviously you don't know how to manage your time, and what you said makes no sense.
6. Staff at Rubik's Singapore??? Geez, that was hard.
7. If you don't have a very respectable ranking that you claim you have, why bother going? Or maybe you should just stop ranting and start listening to what we're saying.

Don't tell me I don't know how to manage my time. I've been in worse situation than you before and I've always managed A's on my exams.

 

[abr71310]

1) You already joined the forum, get over it; yes, you could leave, and yes, nobody would care, but would the problem inside you really feel resolved? Running from issues just creates more issues in the future.

2) I myself MIGHT be a school champion, but I honestly don't believe myself to be arrogant enough to have to have the world revolve around me, whatever age I might actually be.

3)

Again I am being CYBER - BULLIED!.

I feel like not joining this forum anymore!
No one wants me!

What are you, five? I've been "cyber-bullied" when I go in to play some arbitrary COUNTER-STRIKE game servers... and honestly, it doesn't even faze me anymore. Just get used to it, that's the way the internet is.

Either that, or stop using it. o_O;; not that hard.

4)

when you say that it makes me feel left out and means that you a very superior to say that I don't belong.

How is he superior?? -- He has an OPINION on your standing in the community - if you view it as being arrogant and "superior", YOU are the one assigning an authoritative view on it, thus making yourself the leader in making yourself feel bad. Stop blaming other people.

5)

I have homework everyday my teacher is very strict but resonable.I am in the 2nd competent class.pressure is very high.and if you did'nt study for primary school, how come you are in NUS high?

I'm in "gifted" here in Toronto, by whoever's standards (top 1 percentile in TDSB??), so I get extended education as well. Heck, I know I'm not the greatest student (I'm still bent on beating sub-25 before TOW ), but I don't think there's THAT much pressure (despite trying to get into Western university ><)... How can one even HAVE exams in primary school?? -- Why would that even stress you out?...

Can 11-year-olds even HAVE stress?

Primary school exams? I didn't think my exams were problematic at all. I went to the Beijing Spring 2008 competition and went back home for my SATIIs the very next day.

but at least I know how to juggle my studies and cubing.

If you really did, you wouldn't have created this thread.

First part: I did the same thing as Kirby for my SAT I; I had a tennis final against the top seed (lol, lost), but had to be back in Toronto bright and early the next day for the SAT...

And I agree with his latter statement: if you knew how to juggle cubing and studies you probably wouldn't have even joined this forum -- for me it actually takes up 2 hours of my time just trying to figure out what's wrong with my times before I start posting stupid threads (yes, I find myself asking stupid questions because I usually find out 20 minutes later my algorithm was messed up to begin with).

That's my rant for this month.

 

[Sg.Speedcuber]

Now that's a good idea!

 

[Sg.Speedcuber]

Eh!Who say I arrogant?
My religion fobids me.I am humble.
Don't anyhow say if you don't know.
( too lazy to quote the reply(s))

 

[Faz]

OMG I am being cyber -bullied!!

Woop di-doo.

What I get on IRC is worse.

 

[moogra]

It's fine. You can miss one. I missed San Francisco Open 2009 because of scheduling conflicts. There was the SAT I and I had a few school projects to do. I was also looking forward to it too. You'll live.

Another note: 22 seconds isn't very good. It's not bad, but a majority of people on this forum can beat it.
