class tshirt

2009-01-17T23:20:00.003+08:00

hi,

i've just went to collect the class jerseys from queensway. the 's' on the '08s27' on the sleeve may have abit of stain. some may have some may not have. it's because the person initially printed it as '08527' so i got them to change it. you can try washing it and see if the stain will drop. but if can't i guess there's nothing we can do about it also. but the stain isn't too obvious. sorry for this problem.

the people who are more lucky are...Junrong, Jasmine, Sheryl, Jerry, Joanne, Wanfong. The stain can say is can't be seen..unless u look really really closely. The others, fret not, I've checked all pieces, not really really serious. Can't see the stain when you are wearing it unless someone observes you very closely. Sorry again for the problem.

pls confirm with me if you can pay me the money this wednesday, 21st Jan [refer to last post to check how much you needa pay] if you can pay me on wed then i'll bring your jersey along. thanks :D

price for class jersey

2009-01-09T17:36:00.002+08:00

Hi,

School is going to start soon...in less than 3 days time. I know it sucks. Ok as mentioned, I'm going to let you guys know about the cutdown to the price of the class jersey and the total amount each of you need to pay me.

The jersey was bought at paragon mizuno concept shop, at $32.90 each. But i thought it would be cheaper to get member at $38 and then get a discount of 40% off every piece we bought. I bought the jersey for 25 ppl.

Membership fee --> 38/25= $1.52 each

Jersey --> 32.90 X 0.6 [40% off] = $19.74 each

Printing --> $9.00 each

So the total cost is $30.26. But for easier collection of money, pay $30 for the class jersey. The remaining money take it that I pay for it. Really sorry for such an expensive jersey. Didn't expect it to be so expensive in the end. If you have no financial problems, try to pay on the first day of school caz I have financial problems already. Haha! If not possible you guys can take your time to pay for it, paying for it in installments or wad. But please let me know a date that you can pay for it [prefarably before chinese new year] :D

So here's the final list of how much you gotta pay including the class chalet.

1] sheryl $8.70+$30= $38.70

2] eddie $8.70+$30= $38.70

3] alisa $9+$30= $39

4] junrong $4+$30= $34

5] yanglin $4+$30= $34

6] vinci $4+$30= $34

7] kaiyao $4+$30= $34

8] zarina $4+$30= $34

9] jerry $4+$30= $34

10] fiona $4+$30= $34

11] jasmine $4+$30= $34

12] yichao $4+$30= $34

The rest not included in this list will have to pay $33. Once again, sorry for making such an expensive class jersey. Hope you will like the jersey.

merry x'mas

2008-12-25T01:25:00.003+08:00

Merry X'mas everyone. Hope all of you will enjoy your christmas :D

Alright, there are 2 issues i wanna tell u guys in this post.

Firstly, the class chalet thing. As I have mentioned before, monetary issues are very sensitive. However, due to a mistake in the calculations on my part, I collected a short of about $100, already minusing off those who havent paid. As it is quite a large amount to me, I gotta collect another round of money from you guys. This time $3 per person. The remaining money i will pay it caz it's my fault that i made the mistake. Here's the whole list of who have to pay how much.

1] sheryl $8.70

2] eddie $8.70

3] alisa $9

4] junrong $4

5] yanglin $4

6] vinci $4

7] kaiyao $4

8] zarina $4

9] jerry $4

10] fiona $4

11] jasmine $4

12] yichao $4

the rest of the people who went for the chalet and not included in this list will have to pay $3 more. I'll get it from you guys when school starts. I'm really sorry for making such a big mistake. and the reason why i'm only mentioning it so long after the chalet is caz i was quite busy in the past month. sorry again.

secondly, the class jersey. the adidas jersey that was chosen previously went out of stock. caz this issue have been dragged for a long time, i have chosen a design already and have also paid for all the jerseys. i have not sent them for printing yet so i can't confirm the price. will update again soon. the jersey is from mizuno, base colour white, with a little lime green and dark blue.

Hope you guys will like it. And sorry for not putting the choices here caz the discount they is ending so i have to make the decision on the spot. sorry.

And, please tell me either through tagboard or sms or msn whether you prefer the number printed to be the number you chose last time or your own index number. thanks.

After getting the shirts printed, i will confirm with you guys the total price :D

Melissa

Melissa

2008-11-25T23:06:00.003+08:00

price i can't confirm yet caz my fren can get it at special discount and if buy in bulk will have more discount. just wanna ask if anybody disagree with the designs? caz if i go ahead and ask for quotations already, it will be hard to change the design. will get prices from my friend on saturday so any comments you can sms me :D

bbq cancelled

2008-11-02T15:54:00.002+08:00

the bbq on 5th november night is cancelled. sorry to those who had been looking forward to the bbq. caz we already had a bbq before so i changed it to buffet catering. this way we can save the hassle of cooking the food and everybody can sit around to have their dinner. hope you guys won't mind, though it might be slightly more expensive than the previous bbq we had :)

Melissa

class chalet is on the 5th

2008-11-01T13:56:00.003+08:00

I think the many sms-es that i sent might be confusing. Here's the final decision.

We will be going to the chalet on the 5th November, which means everything on the previous post is still valid.

For the 6th, the issue of getting to school, I will be chartering a bus to bring all of us to school. It costs about $75 and if many are using, it will be cheap. I need to confirm the number of people who will be using this service caz i need to see what size of bus to charter. Those who confirmed with me that they will be using the bus service but don't use it in the end will still have to pay for it. This is only fair for others. The reason why chartering a bus is a better choice is because at the time we need to leave for school, we have to take a cab as there is no shuttle bus at that time. Taking a cab to the mrt will be quite exp also. That's why the choice of catering a bus.

NOTE: the bus is only bringing us TO school. After school we will be playing games, so not going back chalet.

Everything will be the same as stated in the last post. Thanks

Melissa

important

2008-10-31T21:59:00.003+08:00

imortant update.

CLASS CHALET IS CHANGED TO 5TH-7TH NOVEMBER.

This change is brought about due to a sudden discovery that there's I&R final submission and filing of GPF from 9 to 10.30am.

The new plan is to go to the chalet after school. Meet at tanah merah mrt at 1.15pm. PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE caz the bus will be leaving at 1.30pm sharp. If you miss the bus you will have to wait for 1 hour before the next bus comes. In the case when anybody is late, we will not wait.

Here's the plan for the chalet.

5th November

2pm- reach chalet

2-3pm - Rest

3-6pm - Games [planned by gamemasters]

6pm- Night - BBQ

After BBQ will be free time.

6th November

Morning - Go school

After school - Play a game called 'food word road mouth' aka 食字路口 in chinese. The rules of the game is simple. Will explain later.

After the game, free time till 8pm.

8-11pm - Games

11pm< - Free time.

7th November

We will be checking out in the morning. So there won't be any activities. If you guys wanna go anywhere else after the chalet can be planned then.

Alright, this is the schedule, but can be subject to changes, depending on how it goes on. I am trying my best to make the games as fun as possible :D

Here's how to play the game called food word road mouth. I will be dividing you guys into groups of 4. I will bring you guys to a place to eat a food (1 group share 1 serving), for example, chicken rice. After that your group will be on your own.

After that, you are supposed to continue to go to places to eat food. But the food that you eat cannot be any food. The first alphabet of the name of the food have to be the last letter of the last food you eat.

Example: Chicken rice --> Egg --> Goreng Pisang

Before your group finishes each food, all members must take a photo of them putting the food into the mouth as there will be no gamemasters following, the photos will serve as evidence that you ate the food.

When you reach the 7th food, you will proceed to a place (place i have not confirmed yet, will tell you guys on that day itself). At that place, your group will be given a challenge to do. After completing the challenge, you will be given the final food you have to eat. Then proceed to get to eat the final food.

Example:

7th food is chicken rice. The food you have to end with is Goreng pisang.

chicken rice --> egg --> goreng pisang

Which means you will still have to follow the rules of the game till you reach the last food. If you are lucky, the last alphabet of the 7th food may coincide with the first alphabet of the last food you have to eat.

After you have finished the last food, go back to the chalet. A gamemaster will be there to present you with the final challenge. Complete the challenge before you can win.

Photos of ALL members eating the food is very important. If without photos, you cannot win.

The aim of the game is to get to eat the final food and complete all challenges before other groups. You can go any part of singapore to eat the food. The cost of the food will be split equally among group members as it will be considered as your lunch for the day.

There might be a prize for the winning group. (tentative)

That's all for the game, any questions you can ask me.

Hope you guys will look forward to the chalet! :D

Melissa

class chalet

2008-10-30T18:55:00.008+08:00

class chalet coming up. the chalet has already been booked. so hope everyone can try to make it. sorry for the short notice.

when: 4th-7th november [i got a plan for 6th nov]

where: SAFRA resort at tanah merah http://www.esrcc.com.sg/bungalow/index.html

what: it's a double storey bungalow style chalet

why there: it's cheap [only about $100 for 4 nights] and big

FAQs [please try to read all the faqs as some might be important]

Why so long? [4days 3nights]

Because my mother is a taka staff, they can book this chalet at a special staff rate. However the timing they can book will be tuesday-friday or saturday to monday only, so i asked her to book the tuesday to friday one.

What if i can only make it for 1 or 2 days, do i pay the same amount as the rest?

I know money is a very sensitive issue. However, i would like to say that whoever goes, stay overnight or not, no matter 1 or 2 or 3 nights, will pay the same rate for the chalet. what i want to say is that, the chalet is really cheap already. about $100 for 3nights. if u want to know the normal rates for public, here's the website.

http://www.esrcc.com.sg/bungalow/booking.html

for the dates we are booking, it's at least $456 per night. calculating 3 nights, it would be $1368 in total. we are only paying about $100, so why complain? if about 20 people turn up, each will only have to pay about $5 for the chalet. so i hope that everybody can cooperate. thanks :)

Can I only go for 1 or 2 days?

Yes of course! I will be glad as long as you turn up, no matter for how long caz i know you have tried your best :)

What will we be doing there?

I will be planning activities, activities not known yet now caz i need time to plan. but if you want to know what facilities are there, here are the details.

Swimming pool

Tennis court

Basketball court

Pool table

Bowling centre

Bicycle rental

Squash court

Beach

Arcade

Will there be a bbq?

Yes. On which night will it be i cannot confirm anything yet.

How do you get there?

Take mrt to tanah merah mrt, then they provide free shuttle bus from the mrt station. after u scanned your card when you come out of the mrt station, turn left then exit by exit A. then go up the escalator and wait at the taxi stand for the bus to arrive. i will confirm the bungalow number with you again.

Here's the bus time

From tanah merah mrt station

10am

10.30am

11am

1.30pm

2.30pm

3.30pm

9.45pm

10.3pm [last bus from chalet]

I have OP on 4th november and it ends quite late. How?

Most people would have OP. perhaps you guys may want to arrange among youselves to meet somewhere then go together.

I am going alone. What if i get lost on my way there?

Follow the instructions i gave above surely won't get lost. In the case where you really get lost, you can call me at 81385015.

What if i am going later than 8.30 [the last shuttle bus from mrt]?

You can take a cab. You might want to share with some people. the address of the chalet is 10 Changi Coast Walk, Singapore 499739. Or, you can just tell the taxi driver that you want to go to SAFRA resort. They should know what u mean if u are taking cab from tanah merah mrt.

People from my clique are not going. I am the only one. Should I go? I will feel outcasted when i go.

Please do not think this way. As can be seen, everybody from our class are so friendly. there will be mixing around during the chalet. you will not feel outcasted. there will be activities planned too so please give myself and your classmates a chance :)

Is there mahjong table there?

Yes there is. But I am not sure how many we can loan at a time.

Will there be people bringing game consoles like xbox, ps3, ps2?

I will try to look for someone who will be willing to bring, but no gurantees. Without these game consoles, life can still be fun!

What's the check out time on 7th november?

It will be in the morning, about 10am if i am not wrong.

Anybody bringing poker cards?

I will bring, or find someone to help me bring :D

Will there be enough space to sleep if there's alot of people?

There are 2 rooms with 2 beds each. We can rent mattresses to sleep on the ground floor. The last time my family went there can be more than 20 people sleeping each time. provided you guys don't mind people sleeping beside you? haha

We need to go back to school on the 6th november. How are you going to solve this problem?

i will need to know the time we have to return to school, but i will definitely think of a solution to this. will update soon

[editted]

mr kow told me it will most probably be 11am. the time needed to travel maybe about 1.5hours. i think we might need to take a cab to tanah merah mrt. sorry, really can't think of alternatives. if 4 to cab, then spilt costs, shouldn't be too expensive.

[edit]

Is the place ghostly? Like what people say about all changi chalets?

Alright. this is a misconception. The address states it's at changi but in fact it's really not. The chalets where rumours come from is the aloha changi chalet. which is a far far place from the place we are going. i go there at least once every year. so yea, it's really clean :D

I will try to make sure that all of you will love this chalet, so i really really hope that all of you will try your best to turn up.

Anymore questions you can post on the tagboard or sms me, i will answer you through the FAQs :)

[edits]

The bbq will be at the night of 5th november. bbq food will all be halal as well as utensils. The final cost you have to pay for the chalet is not confirmed yet. caz i will still have to include the cost of bbq food and food for breakfast and stuff. will let you know asap.

Those taking PW will need to return to school on 5th november at 9am to submit final I&R and filing of GPF. I just realised it from the portal. Sorry guys. I didn't know about that initially. However i hope that you are not put off by the fact that we need to return to school so many times in the short period of 4 days. On the 5th nov, after all the pw stuff, we will be playing a game which may require you to travel. For those who don't have pw, I might require you to make a trip down as well. Will confirm with you guys again. Everything is still undergoing planning. I hope that you will give me a chance and not be deterred from coming to the chalet. We will be travelling to school as a class and it will really improve our class relationship. I will not allow the trips to school make this chalet a boring one. So I really hope that nobody backs out last minute due to the hassle of travelling to and fro.

And please bring ur uniform to the chalet caz we need to go back to school.

All the plans are in my head. I will pen them down soon and please check the class blog regularly for new updates. I will inform you if there's any updates through the tagboard.

cold

2008-10-30T12:32:00.002+08:00

i realised many many people have been catching to a cold [aka the common cold] recently. guys, take care of your body well. you won't wanna be sick during the hols, can't enjoy, or mug. haha

steps that may help to cure a cold. though some ppl say there's no link, but no harm trying at all.

1] Take vitamin C tablets or eat citrus fuits.

2] Gargle salt water to reduce mucus in the throat

3] Take warm baths, can temporarily stop coughing.

4] drink loads of water

5] Sleep more

Heard from somewhere that when u take something very very spicy, your cold will be gone. i've never tried before. but you may want to try as a desperate attempt to get rid of your cold :)

So, take care guys!

Anw the class chalet i will try to confirm the dates asap

class chalet

2008-10-26T16:21:00.011+08:00

i have decided to organise a class chalet in the upcoming holidays, either in the month of november, december or january. i am not sure which chalet it will be yet caz i am asking my mother to help me check some chalets and if available, it will be quite cheap. for now, those who have already given me their holiday schedule, thx. for those who haven't given me yours, please give me asap as i want to settle the date asap. thanks all for your cooperation. currently, the most feasible dates from the schedule of all who replied will be 6-8th november and 26th-28th december. i will confirm with you guys again soon.

any other suggestions for class outing is still welcome as i can also organise a class outing as well as a class chalet. the more outings we have, the more fun our lives will be. hahaha. i might be putting a class outing during 5th november.

the idea of making a class identity have been shelved for a long time. i think for now, the most basic one would be class tshirt. but still open to suggestions.

i hope that the class identity thing can be settled by this year, best before the class chalet. i will try to do it, hope you guys can give more suggestions or state which you would prefer.

below is a poll on which you would prefer. please don't spam it k? as it may possibly be used to decide which class identity we would prefer. vote for those that you would like to have. so if you vote for 2 items, it means that you would like to have these 2 items at a go. thanks :)

Melissa

2008-10-26T01:24:00.008+08:00

Hello people, I am back again.
and it's about service learning AGAIN.

Wanted to share something with the class but didn't have the chance to do so, been really busy, sorry. So I think I will have to share it here and hope that enough people reads it.

Some of you have came to ask about the service learning status thing. It seems to be that the school doesn't want to award the service learning to the participants.

Alright, to prevent misunderstanding, I feel the need to inform you all of the whole sequence of events.

First, the organisers and I approached Ms Usha to enquire about the difference between CIP and Service Learning.

After much considerations, we decided to opt for service learning because it's something we can feel that we should push for instead of just doing a low level CIP. So we asked her who will be given the Service Learning Status, and her reply was the organisers and the participants. I am rather certain about this because 4 pairs of ears heard her.

However, after the trip, when we submitted the reflection, Samuel was told by the staff in the General Office that the participants may only be able to get CIP hours and not the service learning status.

When I was informed by Samuel, I wanted to tell you all, but I am sorry I didn't have the chance to do so.

So that's the whole picture. I can swear with all of my heart that we are not using the class to get our own service learning status, we wanted everyone to get it. However, the situation now seems to contradict with what Ms Usha said earlier about participants been given the Service Learning Status. We will see what's the final decision and put in our best effort to get the status for everyone, however, the final decision still lies in the hands of the school. But trust me that we will put in the best effort to get it for you all.

I know it may seems to be that the problem could have been solved if everyone were a organiser. But as much as I would like to put everyone as organisers, I can't. If all of us were organisers, who are the participants? And what if we grant some of us the organiser role and some not, then it would be another issue of fairness already. Therefore only those who planned and came up with this whole proposal are given the organiser status.

It's a sensitive issue here since I am one of the organisers, I could be seen to be defending myself, but I feel there's really a need to clear this misunderstanding some of you might have.

Sorry if I seem to be making a big fuss out of this small matter or taking this thing too seriously, just hate misunderstandings a lot. Sometimes, these misunderstandings may hurt quite a bit too, so ya. that's it.

I am sorry, "Sorry" alone can't bring you back in time, maybe without the service learning, some of us wouldn't want to go there too right? Maybe service learning status weighs more than the things we felt, see and learnt there.

I am sorry for all the damage caused, sorry if you find this post offensive, I don't mean it, just kinda... disappointed? I guess. Sorry.

hello everybody, this is not my 1st post here :)
thx lex for ur long and wordy post but it really touched me xD

i agree with him and perhaps i shall organise a class outing after promos? if it's before promos i doubt people will want to go. meanwhile can give me ideas if you have any and i can start planning soon ^^

i don't mind going on another trip with the class there even if it's without cip hours. it makes our class alot bonded and it's meaningful to do such things. maybe we can go once every 2months or wad?(just a suggestion, don't whack me up)

regarding the class identity, there can be things like class tshirt, cap, slippers, pencil case, bag. these are just some of my suggestions. if tshirt can ask junrong to design.hahaha

to fill our class up with warmth, let's put a bunsen burner below all of us @@

Class CIP !

2008-08-11T13:24:00.005+08:00

by Lex.

Hello everybody, this shall be my first post here. (:

Hoped you all enjoyed your long weekends! Just wanted to blog here about the wonderful saturday we have spent together as one. I didn't prepare a speech for debrief, because I didn't know that the event would be this successful. Here, I have got nothing much to give, but quite a bit to share. Alright, let's get to the point.

First of all, as I've said, I didn't expect that the whole class would want to participate in the CIP thing. You guys really surprised me. To add on, I didn't expect the whole class to be present on the day itself, I guess I was being really pessimistic. However, I believed that all of us had different goals in mind then, some of us here may just want the CIP hours or the service learning status in your testimonial; some went due to peer pressure; some went out of kindness; some, out of curiousity. Whatever it may be, I believe that this class had a common goal after the tour around the home. The goal to make someone smile.

The event was really a successful one, not because we managed to perform there, but rather because we managed to serve humanity and made someone smile. This success is built on our own individual successes. I believe that most of us have overcame our own obstacle to be able to interact with them; to sing with them. I am sure that some of you would have been fearful of even looking at them; some of you, fearful of singing. However, by the end of this event, all of us were able to sing in one voice. 08S27, we have proven to ourselves that we have the ability to attain success, it's all about taking the first step. I have to say, it's the process of overcoming our obstacles that made us successful, 3 cheers for us ! :D

The trip I hope, was a meaningful one. For sensitive people, I believe this trip would have caused some reflections on your part. After surviving such tough competitive environment in school, I believe most of us were more concerned about getting your grades and forgotten much about other things. These people are the minority of the society and they are been discriminated by others, we as human with the right moral values must never forget about the neglected part of society. (: Also, the happiness felt after this whole event was a different kind of happiness wasn't it? Eversince how long did you make someone smile from the bottom of the heart? And always remember, while you are complaining about the hot weather, these people wish they could express themselves freely.

Alright, zooming out from the event. Just have some thoughts of this class, I guess everyone have some thoughts about this class, it's just a matter of wanting to pen it down anot. After spending about half a year together as a class, a lot of minor or major events had happened. First, we were strangers as individuals, then we were strangers as cliques, then we started to know each other and create new friendships. I always thought of this class as a land divided, each owned by different traids, but one good thing is that, there wasn't so much of war. However, I feel that it could have been better. Sometimes, we are so comfortable in our own comfort zones that we don't want to venture out and make new friends.

It is definitely a good thing that we are not having wars within ourselves, but wouldn't it be better if we were a state of one? Since we can overcome our own obstacle to perform for the disabled in just merely half an hour or so, shouldn't we prove ourselves worthy by overcoming this obstacles we have in venturing out of our comfort zone? After 6 months, we still don't have something that belongs to solely ourselves, we don't have a class tee, we haven't had a class lunch or dinner, neither a class outing. Everyone, let's step out of our comfort zone and make this class one that is filled with warmth and harmony. We shall strive in regardless of posts, cliques, religions and race okay? Don't always let Zarina or other usual people initiate things, we can always opt ourselves alright! Let's move on!

By the way, the Stuff Nurse was very touched by us and would like to see us soon, maybe someone else would like to initiate another visit there? We can have a bond with them!

cool stuff

2008-05-18T12:27:00.004+08:00

i thought i should post another post to prevent the videos from blocking the navigation bar. lol

some cool stuff....

read the words in the triangle out loud.

It's highly likely you said, 'A bird in the bush'?
If this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see That the word THE is repeated twice! Look again.

Can you see what word is it in the picture below?

You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. This painting is called an optical illusion.

What do you see here?

The word teach reflects the word learn.

Last one....

you will probably see me in brown, but look carefully at you in blue.

THIS IS THE ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every ' F ' in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

HOW MANY ?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.

The reason is the brain cannot process the word 'OF'

Anyone who counts all 6 'F's' on the first go is a genius.

More brain stuff...from Cambridge University

O lny srmat poelpe can raed this. I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a word are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

stress

2008-05-15T23:28:00.002+08:00

hey guys,

though there are loads of homework and the exams are coming really soon, don't stress urself up too much k? must learn how to relax yourself, liddat then can produce the best results. studies have shown that stress will kill off some years from your lifespan (actually i am talking cock) but too much stress is bad for your health.

i realise everytime i am posting i ask people to slack. sry guys, i think i am too slack. dun follow in my footsteps. it is bad to be slack, though it is no better being too stress. but stress is still better than slack. ok, i think i am really talking cock now. lol

goodnight!

-melissa, the bad influence in class ^^

lame joke

2008-05-09T23:31:00.002+08:00

1) what does a man need to eat to slim down?
Ans: mangosteen (man-goes-thin)

2) you're inside a metal cube room with no walls and no windows. there's only a table inside to help u escape. u need to get out of the room and get to a town 50km away to get help. how do you go about doing it?
Ans: i dunno how to say it here, look for me in sch if u wanna know, though it's kinda lame ^^

main thing is dun feel too stressed over mid yrs k? stress is not good for ur health, so u shouldn't keep studying. ok, i am talking cock and being a bad influence. everybody go study k?

Hello 08s27! It's my first time posting here, and I just want to update some details.

Specially for Lex:
Below are 10 GP questions, and we're assigned to do ONE ESSAY during the weekends. The deadline for this assignment is Monday, 12th May. Your question paper is with me, so I'll pass you the question paper on Monday.

1) "A film's role is solely entertainment." Using examples, consider this view.
2) "Old people are a burden, not a blessing." Do you agree?
3) The media reinforce gender inequalities rather than redress them. Discuss.
4) What are the challenges facing your generation in today's society?
5) To what extent does the Singapore education system meet the needs of society?
6) Examine the validity of the statement that poverty is the parent of crime (Aristotle).
7) Consider the implications of dishonesty.
8) "Sports bring people together." How far is this true?
9) The internet has proven to be more a curse than a blessing. Do you agree?
10) "Discrimination in any form will always persist, regardless of measures taken to counter it." Discuss the statement with reference to one form of discrimination.

I'm also here to motivate the whole 08s27. People, let's get our butt stuck-ed to the chair and start mugging! Midyear's approaching and our first GP paper will be on the 23rd, which is 2 weeks' from now. Don't forget your weekends homework too! *cheers!*

Oh yeah, I thought of having a class outing during June holidays. Any suggestion people? Leave it on the tagboard if you have any :D Thanks!

JIAYOU EVERYONE, let's all get promoted together. :)

Human Amulets

2008-05-08T00:22:00.007+08:00

Disclaimer: Sarcasm overdose; they do not mean any discriminations or insults to any particular person or religion.

In case you guys have forgotten, we have an Economics Case Study Test next Thursday on the Elasticities and Applications of Demand and Supply. Nonetheless, the sole purpose of this post is not to remind you of the agony of tests, tests and more tests! However, since MYE are round the corner, I have picked three "amulets" which might bless you in your tests and examinations! Though this will deem to be more appropriate for the masculine bachelors, bachelorettes, do not hesitate to take your pick!

First and foremost, presenting to you... Sleeping Invincible Buddha!

Fear that you might incur huge sleep debts? Not to worry! With this "amulet", you can mug all night long without having to worry about developing those huge eyebags during this hectic season! Just look at how peaceful she looks!

Next, we have Wan Fong the zi lian kuang!

Why pull a long face? When you feel stressed, this smiling "amulet" helps you, chill.

Last but not least, sexy "amulet"!

Afraid that you might lose your figure during this mugging period while binching on fingerfood? Fret not! This "amulet" blesses you with nice and hot legs amidst all the muggings! Oh, by the way, blouse + FBTs is definitely not a fashion faux pas according to the alluring figurine; it is a new fashion statement!

So, pick yours today!

Love,
Xanthe
