Sushi, sumo wrestling, shinkansen, Doraemon and Ayumi Hamasaki. What do they have in common? I don’t think I need to answer that for any of you readers. If you are interested in the Japanese culture, you might want to experience life there by spending your tertiary education life over there. So, for those who are interested, do check out:
Education Counselling Service at Japan Information Service (JIS), Embassy of Japan for year 2010 is available at http://www.my.emb-japan.go.jp/English/JIS/study.htm
Generally, Education Counselling Service is available from 10:00 am-12:00 noon every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (except public holidays and embassy holidays).
If you have any enquiries about studying in Japan, you may call 03-21772600 (ext. 185) during counselling hours. You may also visit the Education Counsellor at the embassy (walk-in) during counselling hours. Although no reservation is required, you are advised to call to enquire if the Education Counsellor is available at JIS before making your trip to the Embassy of Japan.
So there you go, four locations as recommended by the Berry Berry Teacher if you are thinking of heading to overseas for your tertiary education. So do check out the fairs or write them a line if you are interested in any of the places. We have heard of many stories of unexpected scholarship offers in the fairs. Now the difficult question, where to go? Australia? The United Kingdom? Germany? or Japan?
Berry Berry SPM Chemistry Booklist
January 29, 2010
Attention to all Form 4 SPM Chemistry students. If you have not purchase any revision books, maybe this is a good time to be considering them. However, the million dollar question remains, “Which books should I buy?”. Fret not, because Berry Berry Teacher will be announcing the list of few important and useful books for SPM Chemistry. For Form 5 students who felt that the revision books that they have do not match their studying style, you may also opt for the following books from the recommended booklist.
Berry Berry Good (BBG) SPM Chemistry Books (For Form 4 and Form 5 Malaysian SPM students)
1) Spotlight SPM Chemistry (2009). Ooi Yong Seang & Darric Lim. Pan Asia Publication Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia.
Berry Berry Teacher highly recommends Spotlight SPM Chemistry. This is a BBG book that young berries must get! This book compiles most of the important notes and key points for its readers. The value-added stuff would be the super concise notes that are provided in the first few pages. Berry berry useful for revision. This BBG book is a newly-printed book and Mr Ooi, the author, is a GC (Guru Cemerlang) teacher. Besides that, it has cute icons too!
2) Focus Super (2008). Eng Nguan Hong, Lim Eng Wah & Lim Yean Ching. Penerbitan Pelangi Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia.
This book consists most of the discussions that are stated in the Chemistry textbook. It is written by the author of the textbook. So if young berries want to find the correct answer for the textbook, you may find it here in this book!
3) Memory Mastery through Mind Maps and Diagrams Chemistry SPM (2007). Hafiz Ahmad & Lim Chia Nee. PNI Neuron (M) Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia.
This is the only full-coloured mind map SPM reference book. Berry Berry Teacher likes this book berry berry much! This book will help young berries to understand Chemistrys concept in a berry berry easy way! If you are a person that likes mind maps (diagram-based), this is the book that Berry Berry Teacher would recommend you to try out. Try to check it out in your school library or get it from your senior if you cannot find it.
4) Longman Essential Chemistry SPM (2009). Yeap Tok Kheng. Pearson Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia. / Longman Essential Chemistry Form 4 (2009). Yeap Tok Kheng. Pearson Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia. / Longman Essential Chemistry Form 5 (2009). Yeap Tok Kheng. Pearson Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia.
Berry Berry Teacher would like to recommend you this series of Longman reference books if you prefer bilingual (English and Malay language) text. This is the only publisher that still prints bilingual reference books. It is written by the textbook author with the latest syllabus.
5) Success Chemistry SPM (2009). Tan Yin Toon, Loh Wai Leng & Tan On Tin. Oxford Fajar. Selangor. Malaysia.
The specialty of this book is in its ‘pocket notes’. Unlike Spotlight and Focus Super, these pockets notes have already been cut in the form of ‘handy notes’ that young berries would easily bring along anywhere they go. Besides that, this book also provide a full SPM Model Test paper for young berries to revise before the SPM paper.

If there are any ex-STPM students wish to donate their books to Berry Berry Teacher or Berry Readers, please do so. We are sure that other students can benefit from it. A good deed goes a long way.
Berry Berry Organic and Inorganic Chemistry Booklist Form 6
January 17, 2010
This is part 2 of the recommended important books for STPM Chemistry Form 6. The following books are equally good as those recommended previously, but for organic and inorganic chemistry. This set of books are a mix of new and out-of-print books. (For those that are out of print, you can probably find them in libraries or from seniors) So go hunt for the recommended books.
Berry Berry Teacher will like to share with you all some recommended book (not necessarily exercise books) which should be made mandatory reading for all STPM Chemistry students.
Berry Berry Good (BBG) STPM Organic and Inorganic Chemistry books
1) Organic Chemistry for STPM (2005). Tan Yin Toon. Penerbitan Fajar Bakti Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia.
This is another Berry Berry Good (BBG) Chemistry STPM book that young berries must have in the collection. Same like the Physical Chemistry for STPM, it is out of print and young berries cannot get it in the bookstore. In this book, everything is explained and a lot of exercises can be obtained from this! I love the Appendices for ‘Chemical Tests’ and ‘Routes for the Synthesis of Chemical Compounds’. This is of utmost useful for STPM berries and you cannot find it in other STPM reference books!
2) Ace Ahead Chemistry Volume 2 (2009). Tan Yin Toon, Loh Wai Leng, Kathirasan Muniandy, S. Sumitha, Lim Ming Hui & Ho Sook Chee. Oxford Fajar. Selangor. Malaysia.
The latest Oxford Fajar Chemistry STPM book! Came out very recently (Oct 2009). A long awaited book after Tan’s Organic Chemistry for STPM. It combined Inorganic and Organic in one book so young berries can save money in books too. Berry Berry Easy to understand and everything is in ‘point form’.
3) Organic Chemistry for STPM (2004). Kho Chin He, Siti Asiah A. Junan & John McMurry. Thomson Learning. Singapore.
Another out of print book. I love the organic chemistry diagrams! Berry Colourful and it is the only full coloured STPM reference book that young berries could get! Berry Useful book as extra referencing. (Unfortunately, there is no Inorganic reference book in this Thomson series)
4a) Pre-U Text STPM Inorganic Chemistry (2009). Lim You Sie and Yip Kim Hong. Longman. Pearson Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia.
4b) Pre-U Text STPM Organic Chemistry (2009). Ho Hon Yoon. Longman. Pearson Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia.
Both of the books are berry berry easy to read and understand. And they come with complementary CD for the 1999 – 2004 STPM Papers. But they are separate books, so young berries need to have more capital in the book investment.
[Disclaimer: Berry Berry Easy is not affiliated to any of the publishing house. This is purely a recommendation from Berry Berry Teacher]
Once again, if any ex-STPM students wish to donate their books to Berry Berry Teacher or Berry Readers, please do so. We are sure that other students can benefit from it. A good deed goes a long way.
Berry Berry Physical Chemistry Booklist Form 6
January 12, 2010
Too much to study and too little time? This is the problem facing nearly every student. Sometimes, there are just too many books on the market. Even if money isn’t a problem, there is still an issue of not having the time to devour all the available books. Hence, came a question from one of our Berry Reader, Fanie who asked a question which is in the mind of many students. “Which exercise books are important for STPM Chemistry Form 6?“
Berry Berry Teacher will like to share with you all some recommended book (not necessarily exercise books) which should be made mandatory reading for all STPM Chemistry students.
Berry Berry Good (BBG) STPM Physical Chemistry books
1) Physical Chemistry for STPM (2004). Tan Yin Toon. Penerbitan Fajar Bakti Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia.
This is a Super BBG books that young berries must get! If you want to score A, this will be the book that I recommended to all Malaysian students. This book has already been out of print and if young berries want to get it, you may get it through your seniors or your school library or maybe some secondhand bookstore. The explanations in this book are rather lengthy (complete explanation) and everything is in ‘paragraph form’. Therefore, young berries must get enough sleep before you read this book.
2) Ace Ahead Chemistry Volume 1. (2009). Tan Yin Toon, Loh Wai Leng & Kathirasan Muniandy. Oxford Fajar. Selangor. Malaysia.
This book Tan’s latest STPM reference book. Berry Berry Teacher loves the book because it is berry easy for students to understand. NO MORE Lengthy explanation! Besides that, I love the Focus on STPM Exam 2005 – 2007 section which will be berry berry useful for STPM students to stay focus on the Berry Important Sub-topic. The disadvantage for this book would be the lack of a CD on the past year questions.
3) Pre-U Text STPM Physical Chemistry (2009). Lim You Sie & Yip Kim Hong. Longman. Pearson Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. Selangor. Malaysia.
Students love to use this book due to the berry berry easy explanation and every book comes with a complementary CD with 1999 – 2004 STPM papers. Furthermore, it also includes a lot of examples to guide STPM students in answering the STPM questions. But there are few mistakes in the book (in explanation and answer part).
4) Physical Chemistry for STPM (2005). Kho Chin He, Zaharah Aiyub, William L. Masterton & Cecile N. Hurley. Thomson Learning. Singapore.
This is another out-of-print book! This is a full-coloured reference book. It is a book which has been adapted from an overseas book (Chemistry Principles and Reactions). A Berry colourful and interesting book which is berry different as compared to other STPM reference books. It will be good as an extra referencing book but not for your textbook. Some of the information is not included the STPM syllabus (only can be use in University level).
[Disclaimer: Berry Berry Easy is not affiliated to any of the publishing house. This is purely a recommendation from Berry Berry Teacher]
If any ex-STPM students wish to donate their books to Berry Berry Teacher or Berry Readers, please drop us a line. We can make arrangement to collect the books. So, if you have any old books which are mentioned here and you wish to donate it so that other students can benefit from it, please do so via Berry Berry Easy. A good deed goes a long way.
