Physics Reflecting writing by Magwen Joy


When I first started learning physics, I can’t cope with the subject very well. I’m very sure that I cannot score well in my first trial exam. However, after learning deep inside the subject, I found that it is fun and interesting. In Physics, I can learn new things that mostly happen in our life every day. I enjoy the most during any experiments that we conducted. After experiments, I can understand more about each topic. For example, after conducted the electricity experiments, I can understand on how to connect the circuit. My group friends also did well in the group works. Even though I am the one who acts as the computer captain, but they still generate their ideas and give me information to do assignment. I am proud to have Chieng Fong Ling (Group Leader) and Lau Hui Mei (Assistant Group Leader). They were really good group members to have. Especially, Chieng Fong Ling. Even though she is the top student, I mean the best among 5TU students and mostly top students always busy and do a lot of homework (tuition), but she never left us. She is really good at being the leader. She is a responsible and teamwork person.

The most enjoyable and interesting moment is when we do the trial launching for the water rocket assignment. During the making of water rocket until the launching, we have given our own ideas on planning the base (launcher) and the water rocket. On the day of trial launching, we cooperate with each other to make it successful. Even though, the water rocket did not boost up very high, but we have done our best and enjoying the moment together before SPM. I think it is the most valuable moment because we seldom spent time with each other as we were struggle for our SPM.

I am very proud and happy to have Mr. Lim Chuan Yang as my physics teacher. He is very helpful person. He always points our name during the lessons to answer his question. The best is he helps us to understand most of the chapter by asking a lot of question because when he asks, automatically our brain will try to find the answer. This way, it helps me to remember about the topics. At first, I hardly memorize the formula, but after struggle a lot and with teachers help, finally I can remember them. Now, I want to say that I love Physics.

Physics Reflecting Writing by Ann Merit




     I am Ann Merit, form 5TU (5 Science) or known as class 11. I started to expose to Physics subject since I was in class 10. It is a slow exposure but I really enjoy studying Physics. All the terms and concepts really help me to understand how do world's work. Without further a do, let me share about my experience during studying Physics.
   When I first started learning Physics, I didn't really understand the concepts and the applications applied. On that day onward, I really convince by myself that Physics is a really tough subject. I do love Physics, but I can't really keep up with it when I was in year 10. All the theory and memorizing, well we didn't get along very well. So far, I'm not really good in memorizing theory and formula. So I got stuck there. Physics is the second tough subject other than History.
  I dislike the part where I started to drift myself from Physics. And my grades drop. I felt so disappointed that time and really helpless, since most of my classmates could score really well in Physics. You know the feeling of, mixture of shame and anger, at the same time jealousy and hatred? Well, yes, I feel that.
     When I was in class 11. I expose to Physics little by little. And little do I know, I stared to understand the concepts and theories that had been playing tricks on me.  Thanks to my teacher Mr Lim, I do get the hang on it. I understand the concepts and theories, when my teacher started to hand-in us the assignment. He is a very patient teacher and very funny. Well his jokes really fire things up before lesson starts. There is this one unique teacher that I got in my class.
      Not long ago, around 1 month or less, we have Physics workshop. We learnt something that we didn't know, how to study Physics the right way. Well the workshop do help us how to memorize definitions and formula and stuff. Thanks to our teacher, I do get the the hang on Physics a little bit.
     Not to mention, my favorite part is when we get to do assignments and experiments. Even though, we have to complete a lot of assignments and carry out some experiments, my groupmates will always have my back. Thanks to them, our group finish our assignments and experiments on time, which is punctual or sometime really early. I don't really like to delay things which really stressing me out and pissing me of. I'm not saying that I am a calculative person, but I really prefer to finish my works without delaying it.
     I still recall that, at a certain part that me & my group mates launch a water rocket. We did quite a lot of launching. And at a one particular part our launcher detach and we need to reattach it and redo our launching the next day. It is quite an experience to launch a water rocket made by ourselves.      
    All in all, after completing most of our assignments and experiments. I do understand a lot about Physics, and by now I am trying my best to understand Physics more. I do learnt a lot from my teacher, that study smart and study hard will bring success.
