2010-02-01T21:20:00.004+08:00

dear all,

this is a rather belated post, cos i intended to write it several weeks before, but did not manage to. it is sortof more formal than usual but i hope you wont feel uneasy or repulsive when reading.

we all know that this is our A levels year and by all means a really crucial year to us. most of us may already be feeling the examination stress and some have even started revising (yes revising...) the work that we covered in J1. whatever it is, i just wanna say that we should do our best to mug hard and consistently so that when the exams are nearing, life wont be TOO tough to cope with. and we will...wont we?

haha, no i am not trying to be pc here or guai kia or wat... in fact if u noe me enuff i really hate schooling (really... i regretted not taking O levels and go poly so much till i cried for days before i joined HC. D: and yes i still regret it.) but what to do? we are all put in a system which, unless we have some special talents society is interested in seeing and grooming, none of us can escape. (Ay? lol) So instead of complaining (and regretting like me), we shall just take things in stride and make the best of what we have currently, ie to study hard!

having said that, i am a strong beleiever of the saying "Talking is easier than doing." so how do we study hard? lol er... obviously i am not the person to answer this qn (do look at my results and "PASSION" for education...) but personally i think motivation from the classmates/cca mates/frens/family/etc is v impt lor... so i have made it one of my resolution this year to do a daily update on the lessons that we have and the hw that need to be submitted/checked on our classblog... (see example at the end of the post)

BUT theres just one prob... i dunno when is the earliest i can post these info here so pls pardon me if i post them later than u expect... >-<>-<

last but not least, as J2s we have greater responsibilities not just in our studies, but also our ccas and in our families perhaps? all the more we should jiayou, stay happy and strong for the ppl around you and esp yourself! haha, it's getting late... (and my econs tut is still not done D:) so i shall just end this post here. i really really pray that haha this is not too lame for yall cos i do feel a bit embarrassed for some reason to be writing this kind of stuff... but ya, my new year resolution to help motivate the class and myself to study... d:

hee thats it for now~ love you all!
peiying

p.s: pls feel free to edit/comment on the 'daily updates'!

SENIOR-MEET-JUNIOR SESSION

2010-01-31T00:55:00.004+08:00

hi 09a12, senior-meet-junior session is this coming wednesday on 3rd feb.

yea let's face it, we're now in 2010 and we've all become SENIORS. ahem.

anyway, i've put together a powerpoint slide to kinda get things organised, basically the session will include:

1. self-intro of seniors to juniors and vice versa

2. playing games (rest assured that there's no Whacko)

3. chit-chat session to tell them about class bench cleanliness, JTS and STJ, settle angel-mortal letter writing

and last but not least, to mingle around with them and get to know them better, yup.

let me know if you'd like to help out with the games (there's only 2) 'cos i'm not posting them here lest the juniors find their way to our blog even before SMJ, and it won't really be fun anymore, haha.

as the saying goes, "you get what you give", so, let's all be nice seniors and hope that we get nice juniors too :)

Recital: Tickets, anyone?

2009-11-03T23:37:00.003+08:00

Hey A12! I am having a duo recital with a friend, Lanabel Teo (15, RGS).

Here are the basic details:

12 December 2009
Esplanade Recital Studio
$12
7.30pm

Programme (highlights):
- Beethoven: Sonata for Piano and Cello in F major, Op.5 No.1
- Vitali: Chaconne in G minor
- Handel-Halvorsen: Passacaglia – Duo for Violin and Cello

The flyer images are attached below :)

“A Journey through the tube” is a classical music concert which features me playing the cello and Lanabel on the violin. The concert is titled as such because we are donating all proceeds to a foundation called Very Special Arts (VSA) Singapore, which aids disabled children through encouraging them to take up an art skill.

A “tube” is formed when the crest (or lip) of a breaking wave curls over and around a surfer, creating an open area within the wave through which the surfer can navigate. Making it through the tube is the epitome, pinnacle, all-time golden moment in surfing. In this scenario, the surfer represents disabled children, and the wave represents our society.

The light at the end of the tube would be akin to the light at the end of a long tunnel, and making it through the tube represents disabled children's desires to overcome their obstacles and achieve their dreams.

Though difficult, the journey through the tube is unbelievably beautiful, and is something that the surfer would always remember. We hope that society will prove to be a supporting wave, and help our surfers reach the end of their tube and provide them with a wonderful journey they would always be grateful for.

With this, please be generous in supporting our musical project, which is supported by the Youth ChangeMakers Grant from the National Youth Council, as well as the Singapore National Youth Orchestra. You may purchase a ticket by emailing journey1212@gmail.com or contact me at 96178776. Otherwise, just visit our website (journey1212.weebly.com) and help promote our recital. For whatever other questions you may have, feel free to contact me at the above mentioned email and/or phone number. Thank you very much! See ya there.. :p

Love,
Melissa

CLASS OUTING! :D

hello people,

after some discussion with jasmine this afternoon, we decided that it would be a better idea to have an full-day class outing instead of a 3d2n stay at a chalet.

so unless there are violent objections to the change of plans, details are as follows:

Venue: East Coast Park
Date: 8 Dec 2009 (Tues)
Time: 10am - 9pm

Activities:
1. Cycling / Rollerblading
2. Volleyball / Frisbee / Beach Soccer
3. BBQ Dinner

For the BBQ dinner, food items would include:
1. Chicken + Pork Chops (Black-pepper & Honey-glazed)
2. Fish fillet
3. Stingray
4. Otah
5. Satay
6. Baked Potatoes
7. Taiwan Sausages
8. Bee Hoon / Fried Rice (打包 from 煮炒 stall / someone volunteers to cook)

9. Marshmallows

(no chicken wings because they are a bit hard to cook and eat, unless you people demand for chicken wings to be a staple in bbq dinners)

For the drinks, it'll be the usual packet drinks like lemon tea, peach tea, JASMINE green tea, chrysanthemum tea etc.

As for logistics, items needed would include:

1. Charcoal

2. Wire mesh

3. Satay sticks (to bbq the sausages and marshmallows)

4. Disposable cutlery - spoons, forks, plates

5. Serviettes

6. Aluminium foil

7. Garbage bags

8. Ice box / Styrofoam box (to chill the drinks)

9. Ice

as much as possible we'll try to avoid getting a caterer because their prices are kinda steep. thus, we'll need each person to contribute by bringing something from the lists above.

please note that each person is to pay $15 to yannrong our treasurer, latest by 10 nov (OP day), even if you won't be going for the outing. remaining amount will be for class funds next year.

that's all for now. do check back regularly for updates :)

meanwhile, JIAYOU FOR OP EVERYONE!

cheers,

shen yang

apparently this really happened, hmm.

Moishe Plotnik's Laundry

Walking through San Francisco 's Chinatown, a tourist from the Midwest was enjoying the artistry of all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and banners...

When he turned a corner and saw a building with the sign'Moishe Plotnik's Laundry.'

'Moishe Plotnik?' he wondered. 'How does that belong in Chinatown ?'

He walked into the shop and saw a fairly standard looking drycleaner, although he could see that the proprietors were clearly aware of the uniqueness of the store name as there were baseball hats, T-shirts and coffee mugs emblazoned with the logo 'Moishe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry.'

The tourist selected a coffee cup as a conversation piece to take back to his office. Behind the counter was a smiling old Chinese gentleman who thanked him for his purchase.

The tourist asked, 'Can you explain how this place got a name like 'Moishe Plotnik's Laundry?''

The old man answered, 'Ah..Evleebody ask me dat. It name of owner.'

Looking around, the tourist asked, 'Is he here now?'

'It me, Me him!' replied the old man.

'Really? You're Chinese. How did you ever get a Jewish name like 'Moishe Plotnik?''

It simple' said the old man. 'Many, many year ago I come to thes country. I standing in line at 'Documentation Center of Immiglation.' Man in front of me was Jewish man from Poland. Lady at counter look at him and say to him, 'What your name?'

He say to her, 'Moishe Plotnik.'

Then she look at me and say, 'What your name?'

I say,'Sam Ting.'

2009-11-01T23:22:00.002+08:00

to those taking A Level Chinese tomorrow, all the best :D

anyway, for the class chalet, good news is that there's one at east coast park that still has vacancies for booking :) called to check this afternoon and it's $168 per night for a double-story unit with a bbq pit in front, and it has a view of the beach. we'll most probably be staying for 3d2n, from 1st to 3rd dec. activities include night-cycling, steamboat and bbq dinners, volleyball, frisbee, watching the sunrise etc.

more details to be discussed on tuesday! and if everyone's ok with the dates, then we can finally get down to booking a unit before the vacancy is taken up :D

cheers,

HOW THE CHINESE MANAGED TO STAY PUT IN ITALY

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Chinese had to leave Italy. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Chinese community.

So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Chinese community. If the Chinese win, they could stay. If the Pope wins, the Chinese would leave. The Chinese realized that they had no other choice. So they picked a middle-aged man named Ah Pek to represent them.

Ah Pek asked for one condition to be added to the debate. 'To make it more interesting' , he said, 'neither side would be allowed to talk'. The Pope agreed. The day of the great debate came. Ah Pek and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute.

Then the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Ah Pek looked back at him and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Ah Pek pointed to the ground at where he sat.

The Pope pulled out a loaf and a glass of wine. Ah Pek pull out an apple.

The Pope stood up and said: 'I give up. This man is too good. The Chinese can stay.'

An hour later, the cardinals were all around The Pope asking him what happened?. The Pope said, 'first I held up three fingers to represent the holy trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions.'

'Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us.' He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also right here with
us.'

'I pulled out the wine and loaf to show that God absolves all sin. He showed me an apple to remind us of the original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?'

Meanwhile, the Chinese community had crowded around Ah Pek. 'What happened?' they asked..

'Well,' said Ah Pek, 'First he indicated to me that all Chinese had 3 days to get out of here. I replied to him f*@k off and not one of us was leaving.'

'Then he pointed that this whole city would be cleared of Chinese. I showed him that we are staying right here.'

'Yes, and then???' asked the crowd. 'I don't know', said Ah Pek, 'He took out his lunch, and I took out mine!!!'

Simply amazing

Lion spotted at Sin Ming Avenue

Workers at Sim Ming Ave car workshops were having a normal day at work,when a nervous looking LION suddenly appeared out of nowhere, seemingly hungry because of how skinny its body looked.

Everyone freaked out, jumping over each other, some locking themselves up in cars, some in the offices, and some just ran away, but one brave guy took the picture of this Lion without making a sound, and he got a shock when the Lion turned around...

Turns out that one co-worker had shaved his dog in such a way to look like a lion

STJ :D

date: 7 august

time: to be confirmed

venue: Astons @ Centrepoint

budget: $15 each, inclusive of GST & service charge (you'll pay the extra costs yourself)

the reason why the budget is a bit limited is due to the ratio of seniors to juniors, so, basically it's about $12 nett for each of us after deducting the GST and service charge, yup.

the menu can be found here:

http://www.astons.com.sg/Astons_menu.html

please reply as to whether you're going so that the seniors can make the necessary arrangements :)

hello people,

field trip to OCS this wednesday, mm. go check SMB for details!

anyway, we'll be taking bus 2, yup.

2009-07-10T21:59:00.003+08:00

hello people,

our group's planning a mini-trial for PW, haha. it's going to be like a barter trade thing, where each of you bring 1 or 2 items that are still in good condition but you see no use of it to yourself anymore, and wouldn't mind for someone to have it in exchange of another item that might be more suitable for your own use.

the trial will either be on monday, 20th july during PT, or wednesday, 23rd july during PW.

so, to facilitate things, prior to the 2oth/23rd, we've set up a blog where you all can view the items that will be traded during the trial. you can either send us the photo of the item you plan to trade, or bring it to school and we'll help you take a picture of it. then the photos will be uploaded to the blog that we've set up so that others can comment about whether they are interested in the item to trade with you :)

however, do note that the item you bring must NOT be newly bought since it's all about being frugal, and the item has to be in good condition. yup.

check out:

http://09a12-bartertrade.blogspot.com/

some items you can bring can include unused notebooks, accessories, unworn clothes that you can't fit into, pouches, bags, books etc. just look around your room and there's bound to be something that you can find :)

so, we seek your fullest cooperation, and we hope that it'll be a fun activity for the class where you can exchange your useless stuff for more practical items :D

cheers,

shen yang; yanxin; kaiqi; yongboon; eeruey

ps: for more details just ask any one of us :)

have a good weekend ahead!

2009-06-24T14:14:00.004+08:00

hello everyone.

please check SMB immediately when you see this, because there are important announcements regarding school re-opening and measures taken with regards to the spread of H1N1.

do note that only the side gate on the 1st floor and the main gate at duchess road will be open. not sure if the side gate will be open in the afternoons, so just leave your house earlier so that you won't be late.

reporting time is at least 30 minutes before the paper, i.e. by 7.45am if you have a morning paper, and by 12.30pm if you have an afternoon paper.

REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR THERMOMETERS!

jiayou with mugging!

Now who's up for it?
If there are enough interested participants, we can have a helluva time this holidays before the blocks!

a biggg THANK YOU to those who helped paint the class bench today, haha.

forgot to take a picture of the new glossy-looking class bench when i left school today, oops. i shall take a picture of it tomorrow when the paint is already much drier and post it here.

seriously, our class bench is now a lot CLEANER and POLISHED than before, yay.

oh and for the class tee, erm, i think we'll have to settle it after blocks, because even if i send the design to the shirt printer, i can't make orders without all your sizes, and more importantly, we don't have money to pay for the deposit. sorry :(

jiayou with all your mugging!

just received an email from Mr Seow, and he said that the paint has been bought and is ready for collection :D

which means, we can start painting on thursday after we collect it from the kong chian admin building, yup.

so, please sms/msn me whether you'll be helping out, and what you can bring (refer to the post below)

we'll start work at about 9.30am, and will probably finish before 1pm.

thanks :D

RE-PAINTING OF CLASS BENCH

just in case you didn't catch the announcement i made on friday,

we've been given permission to re-paint our class bench :)

tentatively it'll be on 4th june, depending on when i get notified that the paint has already been bought. yes, the school's buying the paint for us, and they'll be providing some sandpaper and one or two roller brushes for us to paint our bench.

still, there are some things that we'll need to bring:

1. newspaper (we need quite a bit to cover the floors so that the paint won't drip around)
2. dish-washing detergent
3. scrub pads
4. rags
5. a pail (to store water so we wont have to keep running in and out of the toilets)
6. toothbrush / normal paintbrush (to flick dirt out from the grooves)
7. sandpaper (in case we don't have enough from the school)
8. more brushes to paint the bench (if you have any stashed somewhere)

i'll confirm the time again with all of you soon, but in the meantime, just try to keep this coming thursday free yea :) it won't take too long, assuming that we start at 9.30am and we'll probably finish by 1pm.

oh, and read the posts for instructions on how to go about uploading stuff and publishing your posts. it's pretty different from blogger, so, takes a bit of time to get used to it, haha.

2009-05-27T08:23:00.002+08:00

hey all...
haha i am looking at the PW document on SMB while i am typing this...as this window is totally out of vision as i type it pls pardon me if there's typo. heh.

anyway term 2 is coming to an end and i noe many of us are...x-x or at least going to be liddat.
fatigue visited us since the start of the year. and pestered us like a parasite. and it's showing no sense of shame at all. and will not. at least not soon.

the road ahead is going to be tough... or tougher if you'd like.
(o man this post is like emo.)
there are many things going on, many deadlines to meet, many tasks to fulfil, many problems to face, many sacrifices to make.
personally, i feel it is getting increasingly tiring.
dunno about you though.
if you dun feel the same, thats really really really good. pls help ppl like me survive the rest of the year.
if you do, i wanna say "you're not alone." (at least you have me.../ wah die if i am the onli one, then I will be alone. lol...heck...)

quite a few ppl mentioned to me that our class doesn't seem as "bubbly" or "energetic" as we were at the start of the year... i mean it's normal la, but i just hope we dun make a 180 degrees turn from wat we were like then. =)

i always tell myself when i feel like dying... "Don't die yet! you are already halfway through!" what's been done's been done.
we are already in hwachong, already been committed to watever we are involved in, already not-mugged for the past months (for me at least.), already gone through so many torturous days of school (for some, school's sweet though...lol ;] )...
so dun give up now!
you have all the other A12 peepz with you and your beloved teammates/batchmates/frens and lovers (...well it can mean ppl who love you? XD)
what's there to be afraid of?? =)

加油! A12!
要永远记得，你比困难还要强！不可以输给它！(haha...getting lame)

pei loves you 4eva! take care and have a good and FULFILING holidays! <33

JOKES OF THE DAY :D

#1 - jizhou and his bedroom slippers

apparently spot check for Ares today ended off with the teachers going hysterically shocked and amused after seeing jizhou in bedroom slippers. not to be mean, but it's truly a hilarious sight :D

mr teh was exclaiming 'you think you're at raffles hotel is it? (or something along that line), while another teacher was saying 'for the reputation of hwachong please make sure you don't turn up in school with bedroom slippers next week :o ' and as one teacher went to another teacher to exclaim their horror of seeing a student wearing bedroom slippers in school, more and more of them decided to check it out for themselves and came over from their classes after being done with the spot-check.

the best part: mr yeow was trying very hard to contain his amusement while standing on the bridge when he saw all the drama unfold downstairs ^^

nevertheless, we offer jizhou our deepest sympathy and concern after getting scalded by boiling hot water last week when he attempted to cook instant noodles, and we sincerely hope you get well soon :D

poor jizhou :(

#2 - haircut session for winston

poor winston failed spot check today even after getting his hair cut yesterday, when mr yeow dropped us a reminder that there would be a spot check today.

and this morning during math tutorial...

mr yeow: so winston, did you pass the spot check after being hinted yesterday?
winston: no!? i still got caught! *indignant look*
mr yeow: told you to go cut hair what! your hair like that confirm fail spot check one
winston: i got cut!
mr yeow: where got! no difference from yesterday leh
*and we go 'mr yeow! winston really cut his hair! so much of it gone already!'*

here comes the classic line from mr yeow:
what did you cut? your armpit hair is it? your hair where got cut lah! (and does a little demo with one arm raised and his hands imitating a pair of scissors)

THAT, coming from mr yeow is just ABSOLUTELY EPIC, like seriously -.-

so, poor winston being rather annoyed for failing spot check, decided to get one of us to help him trim his hair after we commented that we could probably cut his hair better than his barber. haha.

winston looks like he's being punished to pull his ears or something, haha.

ok, that's all for today's jokes.

--------------------------------

now on to more important stuff...

oPerAtIoN - T

for the re-painting of our class bench, if there's no one strongly against the idea, we can set a date for it when most of us are free to clean and give our class bench a new coat of paint :) please respond as to whether you all want it on a weekday or weekend.

and by the way, because the geog people are having extra lessons on 1st june from 1pm onwards, we could meet up in the morning, say at about 9am, then paint and clean the bench until about 12 plus, and break for lunch, before the geog people go for lessons while the history people can continue to help paint. and when the geog people are done, we can go back to continue helping out. yup.

or do you all have any other suggestions? please respond on the tagboard or tell me directly, as soon as possible!

for the paint, after i get permission from the school's operation manager, i'll see if the school has brown paint for us to use, or we can just buy a tin of paint using our class funds, and all of us can bring our big brushes from home. yup. might need to sandpaper the bench before we start painting a new coat over it, so whoever has sandpaper at home can bring, then we'll save the cost on having to get other random hardware tools.

thanks :D

2009-05-21T21:48:00.002+08:00

hi people,

just to ask, do you guys want to repaint our class bench? if you've not realised, the paint is starting to chip off, so it'll be a good time to patch things up and at the same time give it a good scrub because it's kinda dirty, not to mention there are ants running around in the grooves as well.

it could be a class activity during the holidays, then after painting we could either go hang out for a while, or just have a study session in school, yup.

oh and by the way, we've gotten approval for our class shirt. before i go place orders and stuff, can you all decide on the kind of shirt you all want? either a polo, dry-fit or just the usual round-neck. as soon as i get the quotation, i'll inform you all about the pricing.

and if any of you still have changes you think should be made to the design or colour schemes, please tag at the tagboard or just voice it out to the class directly.

Firstly, this explains another use of birth control pills in addition to condoms：

An elderly woman went into the doctor's office. When the doctor asked why she was there, she replied, "I'd like to have some birth control pills."
Taken aback, the doctor thought for a minute and then said, "Excuse me, Mrs. Smith, but you're 75 years old. What possible use could you have for birth control pills?"
The woman responded, "They help me sleep better."
The doctor thought some more and continued, "How in the world do birth control pills help you to sleep?"
The woman said, "I put them in my granddaughter's orange juice and I sleep better at night."

and since guys are better than girls, more Cheeeeeeena people are choosing guys as their offspring. This leads to unbalance in gender, and a huge possibility that most males there will turn gay. The following cartoon shows why Cheeeeeena is producing more of a specific good.

So good luck to all those guys who plan to live in China in future.

Meanwhile, this is still a good video showing how stupidity screws everything up.

Who needs the One Child Policy when you have this?

2009-05-18T20:43:00.002+08:00

huishan, hsinfang and i had a very amusing conversation this afternoon as we walked out of school to the petrol kiosk for some ice cream.

something along this line, can't remember exactly what we said...

huishan: hmm how come jizhou isn't back from the doctor's yet?

shen yang: don't know, maybe he's just taking a really long time to walk back.

hsinfang: you know ah, jizhou's injuries are negative externalities. see his wounds i also feel very sad for him, and at the same time it's quite gross. see, it affects our welfare and results in a loss of welfare when we see his wounds because we feel sad for him, and a bit grossed out too.

THIS, IS THE AFTERMATH OF AN ECONS TEST -.- WE JUST LINK EVERYTHING TO ECONOMICS THEREAFTER.

ah well. some pretty lame entertainment, haha.

~ shen yang

2009-05-07T20:32:00.004+08:00

Dear A12-ians, grave news....
As of tomorrow, we are no longer seated at the fabulous, super-comfortable, good for sleeping, splendid, unique and special VIP plush seats anymore!!!
We've been relegated to the left corner of the audi where we have to contend with those ordinary hard chairs =(
Check SMB for more details; and ya i am still griping over it; no more sleeping during CT sessions zzz

GEMS :D

2009-05-06T20:36:00.007+08:00

hello people,

GEMS is confirmed this friday :D yay!

so, some details to take note:

Attire:
Ares / I <3 HC / Rev-it-Up shirt
&
Jeans / Long pants

PLEASE BRING ALONG:
1. a pair of gloves (VERY IMPORTANT)
2. a pair of long and thick socks
3. jacket (optional but highly recommended if you don't want to freeze)

GLOVES ARE COMPULSORY IN THE RINK, so if you don't have a pair you'll have to get one, otherwise you'll have to pay $2 to buy a pair.

as for long socks, it's to prevent you from having blisters or cuts from the skates, so, just try to wear them to protect your feet. it ensures that you can walk properly during the weekends, haha. (yongboon wants me to add that you should bring socks that you intend to throw -.-)

moving on to logistic matters...

on friday, our schedule will be quite tight since CT ends at 4pm, and it takes about an hour or so to get to kallang. this is the estimated schedule:

die die must leave school by 4.30pm (and we must all be changed already)
estimated reaching time is 6pm
skate for 2 hours, by the time we finish and leave is about 8.30pm
go for supper thereafter :)

& if you realised, there isn't exactly any allocated time for dinner, BUT THEN AGAIN, it's undeniable that we're a hungry bunch of people that needs to eat :D therefore, it's highly advised that you either:

have a heavy meal during the 1 hour break before CT session
pack sandwiches / light snacks with you to eat along the way as we get to kallang (but no eating on the bus yea!), or to keep in your bag and eat when you're hungry halfway through skating
eh, last resort is to just somehow find some way to keep yourself full until you finish skating :P

anyway, the above-mentioned is suggested after taking into consideration that you people won't really want to waste your $16.50 by going out of the rink midway to eat, since the time is still counted into the fee you paid.

oh and in addition, if the class doesn't mind, we can pay an extra fee of <$5 and get to skate for an extra hour in addition to the 2 hours that we already have. yup. we'll see how things go on that day itself :)

if you have any problems please inform either me or jasmine by tomorrow.

so, be prepared for an evening of fun on the ice for our first 09a12 class outing! hahaha :D

OH AND PLEASE PAY YANNRONG $16.90 BY TOMORROW! VERY IMPORTANT TOO!

by the way, mdm yeoh will be going with us, so it means that attendance will be taken since it's considered a school activity. i'm sure you won't want to land our class into trouble regarding attendance yea :o

as for class tee, i'll be sending mr teh the design, and hope it gets approved soon. in case you're still wondering what we've decided on, it's the 1st and 3rd design, and the shirt will be black. we'll decide on what kind of shirt to have after the design is being approved, yup. hopefully there won't be any glitches of any sort.

ok, end of my long long report. heh.

that's all for now. and please reply to jasmine and my smses which we sent this morning if you haven't done so, because it's part of the phone relay system thing that the school has activated, and we have to ensure that everyone has gotten the message. thanks!

黄城夜韵 2009

The Air Conditioned Classroom

2009-04-28T16:55:00.003+08:00

The Air Conditioned Classroom

Perhaps this is reminiscent of Cherian George's famous work but a lamentable parody it might be, i certainly believe it to be apt in describing our class's current scenario; and with a shameless lack of modesty, i would claim to be affiliated to Cherian George for after all, he was once a student in HCJC as well.

The air-conditioner, ubiquitous and even named the best invention of the century by Lee Kuan Yew himself, not that his frail bones would be able to enjoy the bitter cold any longer anyway, dominates the ceiling in just about any classroom we walk into. Its omnipresence does seem to make us take it for granted, a resource to be drawn upon as we will and damn the consequences it wreaks on the environment; but no, i am not here to fuss over saving the Earth, let's leave the Green Club to settle that. Nevertheless the issue i am bringing up is of paramount importance as well, something that threatens the very stability of our class, affecting our welfare and if dealt with improperly, might well sunder the solidarity we are and cast the remnants into accursed oblivion. Yes i do understand that i overdo the melodrama but heck, you get the point.

The crux of the issue? The bloody temperature. Oh yes Singapore is a graveyard for just about any Eskimo who ventures here but that doesn't downplay the fact that even though we grew up in a tropical climate, we still have much to gripe about when it comes to the sweltering heat. Hailing from two different entities, its certainly impossible to avoid skirmishes, and it does seem that we are having in our hands now is about to break out into a full scale war that would obliterate whatever fragile strands of tolerance we actually have of each other. He's hot, she's cool; seemingly out of place such a statement is but i believe you grasp its inherent meaning. For all the air-con is doing to the classroom's atmosphere, one thing is certain; it does seem to cause the frost to encroach over the very heart of the class. A chilly political climate you would say, and i certainly agree on that pun. Certainly the air-conditioner was made to cool things down, not heat things up, but in this case, it seems to be malfunctioning real terribly. Too cold for comfort perhaps, but would you rather have it too close for comfort?

Oh yes, Cherian George's own book does seem to cover the aspect of control; something the air-con grants us, being able to manipulate the surrounding temperature with the mere depression of buttons. Nevertheless this point is moot; there has been little room for debate. After all, with our all-too-fabulous CT, control is really at record high levels don't you think? Honestly, there isn't nothing much to curse about that, for as people say: shit happens; so bear with it.

You are strongly advised to take it with a large sack of salt, though do be prudent in not overloading your sodium levels till you suffer from kidney failure.

jump rope

2009-04-19T13:07:00.011+08:00

Hello A12 :D katherine here :D :D

Hmm I’m being random, just wanna share some clips with you guys. Assuming not many of your primary schools (unlike mine, & I know rulang primary & teck ghee primary too) have this CCA called, "rope skipping", I shall hereby introduce to you this very cool sport :D

& NOOO, rope skipping isn’t JUST about holding a rope in your hands & JUMP.

Big mistake.

Because THIS is Jump Rope ...

p.s. NONE of the videos are fast forwarded!

Talk about Extreme Sports, here you have it. Fyi, the usage of two ropes intertwining to skip is called Double Dutch. It’s damn fun, really!

Reminds me of my primary school times haha, yes I was once in the school team =X But of course we weren't so pro la! Hmm, this would be the primary school level I suppose:

p.s. don't laugh at the intro okay.

& you’d be surprised, but there are world championships too!

And when this becomes an urban craze D: Hahaha imo this is the best vid!

& once again, p.s. NONE of the videos are fast forwarded!

we should have chosen this for GEMS hahaha! =X It'll be damn fun to see everyone whacked by ropes lol.

Alright gambante for PI :D

Ciao!

2009-04-12T18:26:00.007+08:00

hello people, hopefully we'll be able to get the class-tee printed by this week. then we can wear it for GEMS on 8 May.

so, basically just ignore the 'f' and 'b' on the diagrams. the side with the horse's sillouette is the front, the slogan's the back. see which designs you prefer (or want some changes made to it), and tell me asap so that we can settle on one finalised design.

somehow the shirt seems very plain the more i look at it :/ any ideas how to make it better?

REMINDER:

please sign your indemnity form for CIP and the money you've collected from the sale of coupons, to either jasmine or me tomorrow.

thank you!

~ shen yang

2009-03-24T23:27:00.003+08:00

ok people, new and improved design, haha. hope this is better.

i think the best colour for our class tee would be white, then we can print the words and stuff in red and black on it, hmm.

the upper portion is probably going to be printed at the back. decided to include the 09a12 and used the hc logo to kinda symbolise a heart shape? since it does look like one anyway...

then the lower portion would be printed on the front. & if you guys don't want the 'i 1 2' idea, then we can keep the '1 2', and the names we either don't print, or just print behind below the 2 lines of words on the back. and as for the '1 2' and 'ARES', was thinking if we should have those printed in red as well, haha.

if any of you have photoshop on your computers and wish to do the amendments directly to the file itself, do inform me and i'll send you the .psd file, yup.

Class Tee Design

2009-03-23T19:06:00.003+08:00

hello people :)

inspiration struck me and i decided to come up with our class tee design, hmm. take a look at it, and then give your feedback yea.

can't wait to get a class tee :D

this would probably be the front of the shirt. the 'i' is made up of everyone's names :)
basically it says 'i want to (1 2) ___', then there's ARES running down the line.

and as for the back, i was thinking of having a slogan thing, and in between the words you'll see 'o-nine-a-12'. the '1 2' is in replacement of 'want to'. so, there are 3 alternatives to choose from.

the first one's all in the same colour, just that there'll be emphasis (used a different font) to show 'o nine a 12'

then the second one is all in the same font, but when we print the shirt we'll have 2 different colours, like how it is up there

then the third one's like the first one, just that the alignment is different.

give me your feedback ok :) or you can try coming up with another design too!

econs blog

2009-03-20T20:25:00.004+08:00

Fwah! Hello A12, I've successfully procrastinated once again =X & so yesss, I did a new blogskin for our ~~pathetic~~ Economics blog woots. I created a new link too, so now you can access the Econs blog under the same account as our class blog's (p.s. you should really appreciate this & I'm about to tell you why)! Now, I shall share with you guys what I went through earlier JUST TO OBTAIN the ~~stupid~~ blog's user/password:

1. I assumed Guo Chang started the blog, so I called her. But she told me that I should ask Soong Hei, so I did.

2. Msn-ed Soong Hei, but he didnt reply. But he kindly smsed me afterwards to tell me he has no idea & that I should check with Yihong. & so I did.

3. Smsed Yihong. & hours later, she replied that I should ask Jasmine. well, so I did, hahaha but I didnt have Jas' number so I waited for her to come online.

4. &&& in the evening, Jas came online woots, but to prevent such to happen again, I suggested we should recreate the Econs blog under the same account as our class blog's. & SO I DID LOL :D

So, now that the blog's up after much hassle. Pleaseeee contribute by posting some ~~crap~~ useful articles/videos. Here's to share what's posted on smb.

"Econ Blog

Your entry can be in the form of the following:

- Review of interesting economic articles from journals or Internet.
- Economic jokes/cartoons that illustrate certain economic concepts.
- Video clips depicting certain economic concepts.
- "Forum-like" postings on views and comments that are economics related among class members.
- Any other relevant economics postings that will enhance the class’s blog (ILP work, etc)

For an example blog, you can view this blog created for C2 during last year’s humanities week @ http://hcc2econs.blogspot.com/."

yes so GAMBANTE A12, let's keep both our blogs ALIVEEE :D

2 announcements/messages from fac comm:

1. Combined Sports Meet

Once again the celestial stallion, avatar of Ares, rears his/her fiery mane to signal the start of a battle

Surprise!!!!! It‘s CSM. We are going to own it duh. We are Ares

The Annual Combined Sports Meet is scheduled to be on 20th May this year. Deadline for registration is this Tuesday (10th March).. We need everyone to do their part.

So perhaps:
1) you’ve never tried track/field events before
2) you don’t really like sports

Fear not!!!!!

So long as you love your class and you love Ares and want to win, pick an event and sign up!!! It’s fun to own together :)

PE reps do register your class. CT reps do help your PE reps. Classes do sign up!!

Let’s show our unstoppable ferocity and (horse)power andstain the grass red,the multitudinous seas incarnadine ,and set the sun

on FIRE

2. Top Secret: To Sell a Carnival Coupon

Hey Aresian! You have just been enrolled into the noble cause of fueling the success of our funfair by selling carnival coupons! We need a united, and unanimous effort on everyone's part to make sure that our carnival is an undisputed, and undeniable success. Here are a few pointers in your quest to become the next Warren Buffet: (he/she will be used interchangeably for gender equality reasons, not as a subtle jab to anyone's sexual orientation :))

1. Explore all your social circles-- whether it is your beloved OG, your awesome CCA mates, your cool seniors or amiable friends from other schools, dont forget to extend your warm welcome to them and invite them to come down for a day of play!

2. Persuasion is key. Give your friend a reason to come down, and tell him whats in it for her to purchase a stack of coupons from you, apart from charity to the community, of course!

3. Customer is king. J2s will be having their blocks all the way till the Wednesday after the March break; so dont try to push any sales with them until then! Instead, market the coupons to them after they're done and over with blocks as a chance to go out and have fun, and you might get a more favorable response.
Also, all J1 Aresians will be having coupons to sell, so do explore greener pastures, bluer oceans and yellow-er meadows when pushing sales!

4. Dont over do it. While it is great to be zealous in your marketing ventures, dont strain meaningful friendships over a simple business transaction. Just as inviting your friend to the carnival is a sign of respect to him, it is important to respect her wishes should he not be keen on coming.

5. The power of you. You'll be needing coupons on the day itself anyway, but remember to leave some for your friends :)

6. Have fun while you're at it. Use this as a chance to catch up with friends, or even meet new people!

The funfair will be on 28/3 (Sat), at CCAB, from 9am to 2pm, and we will be raising funds for the Singapore Disabilities Sports Council in view of the upcoming London Paralympic Games 2012. Last, bear in mind that this is a FACULTY CIP, not a faculty outing! This funfair is not catering to Aresians-- it is run by Aresians for the school, for the community. So, make sure your friends from other faculties know that they wont be being extra if they come down; to the contrary, they are fully welcomed as essential patrons and supporters of our noble cause. So Aresians! Go forth proudly with your coupons in your hands and fire in your heart and together, we'll have everyone know that-

Fwah! Hey A12, it’s 4.03am now xD & Evidently, I’ve done a new blogskin for our class blog! I’d say it’s not exactly perfect, but well, I did my best le. From scratch okay! No koping of codes/images – take a look at the credits section, where you’d see my starting materials (heh okay I’m being super xuan4) =X Apparently, I’d spent more time working on the white white thing of the stallion, than on the html codes.

The root of the Stallion<3

First design concept!

First DRAFT!

& After 15 DRAFTS, I decided to stop. Too tired le ): & I should go turn in =X now.

Feedbacks are welcomed, & I’ll re-edit them accordingly.

xoxo,
KATH!
