back to school
i cant believe how messed up this season of campus superstar is. they had some of the best contestants this time round, and i was really looking forward to a good season, but the organisers tried too desperately to introduce new twists in the season, and the result is a very bad program.
heres what happened in the program so far. we started off with all 12 contestants, and they were gradually knocked out one by one, until there were 6 left. then the 6 that were knocked out went through a revival round, and 2 came back, so we are back to 8 contestants, which was hardly any different from the original strength of 12.
subsequently, they started knocking out 2 contestants a week, until 4 are left. the last 4 contestants, who competed today, will be competing for 2 slots in the grand finals. BUT heres the catch. amongst those that had been knocked out, 2 more will be revived to join these 2 other finalists in the grand finals.
i seriously think the organisers fail at the twists. it is really dumb to see the contestants getting knocked out, then revived again, then getting knocked out once more, and later have the possibility of coming back again. if they wanted to work with a reduced contestant size of 12 (it was 20 in the previous seasons), they should just work with this new constraints, instead of introducing all these twists to attempt to extend the season as long as a 20-strong-contestant season. :/
not to mention, having 4 hosts throughout the season was really messy, especially yuan shuai, who is rather incompetent at hosting, and always have to end with some very awkward statement or something like that. overall the planning for this season is extremely disappointing.
on a side note, today school reopens, and i got to meet all 5 of my classes. according to my timetable, ill only be meeting 3, but i have a makeup lesson with one class, and another class invited me to have lunch with them. so i got to see all my students on the first day of school already haha. and to remind them about the assignment they owe me! my voice is still dead as ever, but thankfully the classes are quite cooperative today and i didnt have to shout too much. and thanks alot to ms wang who loaded me with strepsils, and the other math department teachers who offered to relief teach my lesson for me. quite ironic to relief a relief teacher's class.
rongen had an interesting suggestion as to why i was sick. he said that it is due to le chateliers principle. cos i was experiencing too much fun and pleasure over the holidays, the body must induce some sufferings to counteract it, to shift back to the equilibrium. haha...
anyway, i was quite off form this morning. i was typing binomial distribution tutorial powerpoint, and then i realised that there was no bell today, and i almost forgot about my lesson. so i hurriedly closed the programs on my laptop, and when i was closed power point, the "Do you want to save your work" popup appeared, and in a hurry, i clicked no. OMG. i cant believe i did that! haha... guess its the monday blues :|
