6N love (:

Chalet this year may not have had a BBQ but it was certainly more memorable (: (:

Haha. Sigh thinking about 6N and all the memories we had together as a class makes me smile. I've had a hangover for my primary school class and CCA for ages and ages, and I suspect I'll have the same about 6N. I'm glad, and lucky, to be in 6N. There was very little (if at all!) hostility and hostile competition, we all helped each other...sigh. I'm going to miss you all! So hopefully we'll keep in touch (:

Like what Mr Lai said last year (or er um I'll paraphrase =D), you'll know you were a close class that kept in touch if a few years later down the road, you find wedding invites from your exclassmates in your mailbox. Remember to send your invites to me! =D Haha. God-willing I'll come, unless I'm not available or something.

I love 6N! And I'll miss having classes and lectures and all =( Thanks so much to everyone, especially Gen and Chinny, for making these two years in 6N some of the most memorable years of my life! Thanks for the memories.

Chalet Chalet Chalet!

Outstanding Youth in Education Award.

Chalet

Chalet rather aptly summed up 2 years in RJ 6N: Time passed way too quickly. So much memories within these two years...yet it has passed us by so quickly, in the blink of an eye. It's hard to believe that chalet was one of the last times we would see some of our classmates for a long time to come, even as we go our separate ways. Thank you everyone, for all the memories. As I read the notes that you people wrote, I'm really touched, and I know that they will always cheer me up whenever I'm feeling low. Though we go our separate ways, I hope that we will always keep in touch, and always be united as a class.

1 for $13, 2 for $6

lol ok, regarding the title, i came upon a damn screwed up store today. Cuz i was at imm, some shop named diva, with my sec 4 fren, who wanted to buy smthing for his gf. cuz it was an accessory shop(clearly for girls), he didn't dare to go in, so he drag me in. Then after that, he didn't know wat to do, so i chose stuff for him. yup.
so after i chose smthing for him, we went to ask the shopkeeper wat price the other was. and she asked us to take another piece, cuz it'll be cheaper. and it really is cheaper, in a damn screwed up way. 1 for $13, 2 for $6. wth.

ok now to more pertinent topics.
Who:Anyone who wants to go

What: Lan games(DotA, Counter-Strike, Unreal Tournament, Age of Empires III, Warcraft III: TFT standard game)

When: Next Tuesday, after physics paper 1

Where: Dhoby Ghaut, paradise(it's spelled like that right?)

Why: To celebrate end of A levels and relax. Also serves to screw up the h3 chem and physics ppl.

How: It's simple. After physics, we go lockers and discuss physics qns as usual. that will serve as a meeting point. then we all go eat an early lunch(j8? S11? dhoby?), change up, take mrt to dhoby ghaut, walk to paradise and go in and play. easy easy.

Prerequisites: Bring ur cvs! yes, let me highlight it again. BRING CIVILIAN CLOTHING! yeah despite numerous warnings, some ppl will still screw up and don't bring one. then hav to depend on lp again. cuz i'm not bringing extras anymore. i still hav two shirts wif other ppl, who still havn't returned me. i'm not expecting to get them back alrdy. so yah, it doesn't pay to be nice. lol.

ok abt it. yup. and erm jameson u rock. haha.

sky over hellfire peninsula

nearly over!

All that is gold does not glitter,
not all those who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither,
deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
a light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
the crownless again shall be king.

some more interesting stuff

hey ppl!

i suppose u all know who mr shah is right? yup. HE'S GONNA APPEAR IN "DEAL OR NO DEAL" SOON! er yah. he finished filming like qte some time ago. some odac person told me like damn long ago, so i forgot the exact date le. but just stay tuned. 21st nov and 22nd nov night. if u wanna see him. can't confirm exact date cuz the j1 odacians r in vietnam for their eoy expedition. will be there for 3 weeks, so lucky!

and i read this in the news some time ago. somehow rmbed it so i thought i wld share it! cuz it's qte funny. it's abt ridiculous british laws. yah these are actual laws, no joke.

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament. (wtf?)

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down (ok...)

3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store (WTF?!?!)

4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day (ok nothing much)

5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter (cool)

6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet (WTH?!?!)

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen (wat shit man)

8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (er lol)

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour (lol)

10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow (!!!!!!!)

I had a good laugh reading them. hope u enjoyed the crappiness of britain too!

cool colour changing car

For all you James Bond or spies wannabes, you might find yourself intrigued by Nissan's innovative paramagnetic paint coating, probably seeing action in the year 2010 on its production models. Working on the premise of a unique polymer layer that features iron oxide particles applied to the car body, a series of colors can be chosen and changed on the car with a varying level of current.

--hardwarezone.com

Bored with the white, wanna change the color of the car to classic black? No sweat, just flick a switch and…voila! The color has gone from white to black. It's not some sci-fi stuff that I'm dishing out, but its something Nissan has been working on for a while. They have developed a "paramagnetic" paint coating, which is a unique polymer layer that features iron oxide particles that are applied to the vehicle's body. When an electric current is applied to the polymer layer, the human eye then interprets the crystals in the polymer as different colors. Depending on the level of current and the spacing of the crystals, a wide range of colors can be selected by the driver. A steady current is needed to maintain the color effect, thus the paramagnetic paint doesn't work when the vehicle is turned off and hence the vehicle switches back to a default white color.

Quiz of the day:

.::Deduce the missing picture::.

Econs Case Study

To prepare for Econs case study, and to round up two years of Econs essays, here are some real life examples and practice questions. I've done some essay outline, but in no way do I claim responsibility for the quality of the answers, and I take no liability should they be cited in examinations.

1) Apply the Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns to Economics.
-> Fixed factor: Time for paper (2h15min) Variable factors: Time spent mugging, amount of effort put in.
-> As more variable factors are applied to A level Econs paper, they inevitably experience a deficit in time, and there is a bottleneck, resulting in squeezing of scarce resources (time). Output and quality of answers increase less than proportionately as more variable factors are added.
-> There is diminishing marginal returns.
-> In the long run, Econs A levels will be over, and anyone who wishes to do practice econs papers will experience no lack of time, as the factor is now variable.

2) Explain, with reference to the motives of firms, why not all firms pursue a profit-maximising objective.
-> Example: West United FC increased prices from $1.20 /hr to $2/hr. This is a highly prohibitive price, and is hardly competitive. Yet the market structure for such shops is monopolistic competition, due to (blah blah...)
-> the PED is relatively inelastic, but it is insufficient to explain the price hike.
-> Conclude: the firm does not really wish to maximise profits. Once the startup cost is covered, the owners of the firm are only interested in having revenue cover AVC, for the daily operation of the shop. The other objective of the owners is to have a quiet shop and lots of space to engage in cyberslacking in a virtual world. Rawr.
-> Reason why they don't just set up a small shop in the first place, with only 10 computers (for e.g.) is due to the need to exploit Economies of Scale. Such a small shop is unlikely to attract customers, who frequently patronise such shops usually in large groups.
-> Reason why they choose to set up this type of shop. Beyond the high startup cost, running of the shop requires minimum effort and allows much time for other activities.
etc etc.

Shadowmoon 2

Yay dun we all luv good graphics...

Shadowmoon Valley 1.

Whee, more pics! to make shuncheng n rard envious. n to push chinny's post dwn =P

imba activity

Omg this blog is so active. my earlier 4 liner post just this morning is like halfway down le. fast, cuz chin ee got discharged from hospital! and kelvin WoWed! so yah.

ok so that means we get to see chin ee in sch next week! woohoo! Noobhost is back, and abt to own(assuming he doesn't pp again).

and thought this might be too long for the tagboard, so i'm posting this here kel. for the statues, it's some nerzhul thing. they seem very familiar to me, but then again, i cld hav mixed things up wif LOTR. my mind's not very clear these days. oh and of cuz World of Warcraft has better graphics than Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, cuz wc3 was nvr really meant to hav outstanding graphics. blizzard long surpassed themselves wif diablo le. they were concentrating more on gameplay wif wc3. of which they cldn't match up to their own starcraft either so oh well.

cool got sudden inflow of WoW content here. oh rard, i dun really like the Wrath of the Lich King trailer. the black temple one is nice though, even though if u played wc3's campaigns u wld hav known the whole storyline, more than wat was covered in the trailer.

and yah, y am i here? i'm supposed to be studying for econs. so i shld end here. and erm since i love this poem too much, i'll drag it back up from it's languishing spot halfway down the blog.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
a light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
the crownless again shall be king.

And before i end, given chinny's cool once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the hospital(take A-levels in hospital leh), do u think he can qualify for an advertisement? mayb smthing like this.

Tweety bird balloon ... ~$8
Transportation to and fro hospital for chinny and friends ... ~$30
Comforting hospital ward with professional nurses and cool hospital food ... ~$5000
