DEAR 09A13,
Under the orders of Ms Kumar EVERYONE, I repeat, EVERYONE must CROSSDRESS!

If you do not crossdress, you will face the JUDGEMENT OF 09A13. (Let me warn you, it's REALLYYYY SCARY)
It includes being DUNKED in the pool and also AWESOMELY SCARY forfeits that would be RECORDED and posted on YOUTUBE.

BEWARE.

LASTLY, there would be a beauty competition XD
Please come dressed in your BEST CROSSDRESSING CLOTHES because there would competition on who is:
1. SEXIEST "GIRL"
2. SEXIEST "GUY"
3. CUTEST "GIRL"
4. CUTEST "GUY"

Ohyes, and programme for thursday night includes:
1. HORROR MOVIES

For JTS, just make sure you are free on Tuesday night. Glasshouse need to book cause we got a lot of people but we cannot get the confirmed numbers so it's quite hard to book. And the seniors want Ms Kumar's. We will confirm again and yes I'm really sorry for this confusion =/

Hey guys!

This is the finalized class relay system with all the spelling errors and whatnots fixed.
The main change is that ethel has been changed to the leader for group 6 because it is said that charlene doesn't check her phone regularly.
Yep, so take note of that.
Other than that, everything else is more or less the same.

TADAH.


Must go remember your group okay!

[Liuyi]

Hello guys march hols are approaching, hang in thereeeee =)

1. Talentime this saturday, get the tickets yourself from the booth at the canteen i suppose, since most people are kinda unsure of going to the concert. Ticket priced at 6bucks.


2. Huang Chen. Yes i lost the order form but no worries, i will write in down on paper. Date: 25 (night) and 26 April (afternoon/night). Ticket priced at 14/16 bucks. Exact details refer to our lead actress.

3. LUMOS 2009. Date: 3rd April (Friday). Ticket priced at 8bucks. Should be at night, the time not stated.

4. Fac CIP. Anyway just telling you guys first, we have to sell couponsto seniors, friends from other faculties and friends from other schools. The funfair will be held on 28/3 (Saturday) at CCAB from 9am to 2pm. The coupons are being stamped with the Hwachong Logo by the Admin so you will receive them sooooooon.

Charmander.

Hey guys!

In adherence to our theme, I would like to propose that Pokemon be included in our syllabus. I feel that though we are a future-forward-looking-technologically-advanced school, we must always think back to our roots and what better way than childhood memories of Pokemon?

Perhaps teachers may use pokemon analogies during lessons.
"As the demand for pokemon rises, the supplies are unable to fulfil the demand, leading to a shortage of pokemon. Now let's draw a PPC" (from the pupil who doesn't take econs)

"Why would Ash yell, 'I choose you, Pikachu!' We should examine the iambic pentameter of this fascinating line. I choose YOU, PikaCHU!" (literature)

"You have caught 10 pokemon, but your belt can only hold 6 pokemon. How many pokeballs do you have to throw away?" (H1 Math)

"You have caught 10 pokemon, 5 of each gender. Defying Pokemon rules, they somehow mate and create one baby pokemon each. How many pokemon do you have now? (H2 Math)

"Draw the nude pokemon. Now discuss its artistic, social, historical symbolism." (AEP)

As students, I propose we each choose a pokemon from 1-149 (no mew and mewtwo D:) and tell Hanqing by this weekend so Lukwern and she may start working on the extremely cool class teeshirt.

List of pokemon taken (tbc):
Jessie - Yuensin
James - Yu Hui
Meowth - Liu Yi
Charmander - Hao Jie
Rapidash - Zhao Feng
Gyrados - Luk Wern
Growlithe - Derek
Eevee - Ethel
Magikarp - Rick
Rattata - Chun Kai
Cubone - Kevin
Jigglypuff - Edwyna
Psyduck - Jerrold
Flareon - Bin Hao
Snorlax - Youjie
Togepi - Margaux
Ditto - Zhen Ping

MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVEN CHOOSE YET


Shall I chope Alakazam. A bit overkill right.

[Hanqing][pokemon list updated by Hao Jie]

CALLING ALL MATH LOVERS (are they even existent) OR PEOPLE WHO WANT SOMETHING NICE IN THEIR PORTFOLIO OR WHATEVER BLAH YA :

Top students get cash or book prizes

I don't know if anyone is interested but do let me know asap if you are! It's MCQ anyway. Hm hahah.


P.S be honoured hanqing you're featured in my first post here. lol.


[zhenping (still can't believe i'm math rep hahaha)]

Hey people,

As hanqing has informed the class but some people ran out of the class literally so this is a repetition.

CHOOSE A POKEMON FROM THE EARLY EARLY PERIOD a.k.a charmander period.
I went down to queensway today and asked for the price. it will cost 16.5 bucks if we just have the speech bubble thing at the front and a pokemon at the back (at most 2 colours for the pokemon. if need more colours den have to pay a bit more). Also, if we want to have our name printed.... it will cost 3 bucks more if we print it on the back ontop/below our pokemin..... if we want to print our names on our sleeves if will cost us 2bucks.

yep so our shirt should safely be close to 20bucks from the description i gave him.


Yours,
Charmander

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZHENPING AND ZHAOFENG (next monday)






Look at Chunkai, you can just imagine how he demolished the strudel.



[hanqing]

As inspired by You Jie today, I went online and found some very funny but mean jokes about Singapore ^^. Taken from talkingcock.com and http://www.asianjoke.com/singapore.htm

In Singapore, the majority of us live in Highly Dangerous Buildings (HDB),
And most people have already got used to Paying and Paying (PAP).
Not only do you have to pay, you Pay Until Bankrupt (PUB).
If that's not enough, somebody still Purposely Wants to Dig (PWD) and get more from you.
So what more can you do when you are in the Money Only Environment (MOE)?
With the current Mad Accounting System (MAS),
you are forced to Pay the Sum Ahead (PSA),W
hich will leave some people Permanently Owing Some Banks (POSB).
And forced to live on the Loan Techniques Always (LTA) system.
When you fall sick and happen to be admitted to a Money Operating Hospital(MOH),You might be able to use your Cash Prior to Funeral (CPF) fund.
If you are out of luck, you may meet doctors who Never Use Heart (NUH) to treat you,
And you will be Sure to Give up Hope (SGH).
To help ease the traffic, motorists have to pay Cash On Expressway (COE).
If that doesn't help, they can always Eternally Raise Prices (ERP) on the roads.
If you don't own a car, you can always make a Mad Rush to the Train (MRT),
OR get squashed in a bus Side By Side (SBS).
Lastly, under all these pressures, there are not many places we can relax,
Not even the good old place we used to go because it has become
So Expensive and Nothing To See Actually (SENTOSA)!!!

One day, 4 babies were born at K.K. Hospital: a German, a Jewish, a Filipino and a Singaporean. However, someone mixed up the babies by mistake, and the nurses couldn't differentiate between them.
However, the head sister had a bright idea.
She lined the babies up in front of her and exclaimed, "Heil Hitler!"At hearing this, the German baby raised his arm in a salute, while the Jewish baby soiled his diapers. In the meantime, the Singaporean baby turned to the Filipino baby and said, "Clean that up!"

Hey guys!

To make things more convenient for the people passing messages, we have come up with a relay system XD

Anyway, this relay system is totally random. Really, check out the similarities between the birthday sidebar thing and our relay system HAHA.

In times when we need responses from the class or just to simply pass messages, the PEOPLE IN RED are the group leaders.

So you guys have probably seen this earlier. I shall now show you the logo in real vector form!



And a tshirt mock-up:



At the moment colour scheme is not finalised yet, hence the design is still in B&W. Some of you also requested for a red shirt, so I'll try and come up with a nice colour combination for that. OH if we are going with the Pokemon idea, I would suggest either 1) having a white/black base with coloured Pokemons, or 2) having a red base with Pokemons in various shades of one colour. Because if you were to imagine having Mudkip on a red tshirt, it would make your eyes bleed (unless our intention is to blind everyone else with our awesomeness)

In addition to some of the ideas Hanqing has posted, you guys can visit designbyhumans.com for some fantastic graphic tshirts although it is no guarantee that we can replicate any design of that standard

-

ALSO: IT MONTH 2009
As your IT rep, it is my pleasure to bring to you our IT Month of April!!1!one. There are a bunch of contests which I think we are obliged to participate in:

1) "Creative" Competition
If you are eager to win 400 bucks worth of IT stuff, you can write an essay, make a poster or film a video clip about how Hwachong is an awesome future school. If anyone is interested let me know as soon as possible and I will fill you in on the details

2) Inter-class blogging competition
Because Hwa Chong is apparently a really awesome fUtUr3 sCh0oL, we will have to spend about a month talking about it on our blog! And if we do it well enough we can win $400 worth of food vouchers.

The theme is "Reshaping Teaching & Learning @ Hwa Chong. We are the future!" (How exciting) From March 11 onwards, we shall hold intelligent forums and discussions on our blog and, I quote, "invite as many people as possible to post and comment; build up links and network with other class blogs". So I guess we're pretty much set to win this already because we have fulfilled the rest of the judging criteria, in terms of design and content

Anyway, good luck for math!

Luk Wern.

LOL Mr Lau is damn funny and cute ^^ Totally ^^ Anyway you guys should check out SMB and see the notes he uploads damn diligently they're very colourful and damn cool. For the .mht format files, he advises:

"If you have problem opening the file (in .mht
format), you could try this way: first save the file on your computer and
use internet explorer as the program to view.. Subsequently for such
files you should be able to open normally..."

Here's a list of To-Do!
Literature tutorial
GP Tutorial
Study for Math Lecture (up to hyperbola)
Read your CSE article about SEZs or else I will saboh you and niao you.
ZHENPING'S BIRTHDAY IS NEXT MONDAY!
Pay $35 to Edwyna for the dinner on JC field.

[hanqing]

Everyone say hi to Sleepy!Charlene.
















Taken during math tutorial class :D Math is evil but at least Lau and Boo are nice/entertaining/[insert adjective of choice here]! Good luck with the mugging (instead of slacking like me) (:

And by the way come watch huangcheng okay! Haha. We need your support :D Self-promotion here but still, I think it will be worth watching cos so many people have been working hard for it these few months (:

[yuensin]

Hello guys,

Have a good rest during this weekend =) Anyway regarding JTS, we have some suggestions from some people to go to some places to do some stuff.

1) Fish and CO near Park Mall ($20+ per pax)

2) Jus Acia at Dhoby Ghaut XChange ($20+ per pax)

3) BBQ at Margaux's house with the seniors

Any other suggestions??? If not we shall choose from the three options here. The current date will be next Sunday (15th March) most probably dinner i guess. I tagged on snr class blog alr, so we shall let them check thier schedules first.

Alright that's all. For those like me who dont understand math lectures at all, good luck for the math test when weekend ends =X

Yours,
Hao Jie

The pictures used don't belong to us.
I think we talk through on Monday first ba, because idk if everyone is receptive to this idea.

#1. The coolest idea so far c/o Lukwern

Front:


Back:
A different pokemon for each person. In this extremely hilariously cute style. I guess the price might go up but we will be the coolest class ever.



#2. Chances are we might face copyright issues so...

Front:


Back:
A different design for everyone also, we can draw cute monsterish things like this that look like the style in the pokemon design. But we will still be damn unique (:



#3. To be more unique, Here are some tee designs.

This dude I found at Noise SG, he's called Anjo Bolardo and I really like the style and colour scheme of his design, this one in particular.
Gallery



Maroon teeshirt with illustration of a bunch of cute monsters with the words, "We are one big faamily!" Personally this one is one of my favourite illustrations of all time, we can also emphasize one bit using colour.



With more relevance, "Infamous Mishaps Throught History":



You know what? As part of class spirit I propose we ALL GET A PAIR OF SHUTTER SHADES. I know where to buy from. Then we can ttly wear everywhere we go and freak out everyone. It costs around 10 bucks.



[hanqing]

hey everyone! just something to remember k?

HI everyone!
Ethel here :D

Okay so your dearest Activity Reps were thinking of 2 plans...

1) JTS next sunday! Most prolly at Jus Acia (Charlene's recommendation), which is apparently like at Dhoby Ghaut XChange, you know the other side of the Dhoby Ghaut mrt station? Budget would be around $20/pax? Hmm any other suggestions are welcomed! (:


2) Class outing during March hols! The one at Margaux's house yeah. But enthu people like Bert are already asking for earlier CT outings so what do ya'all think about next Friday?



Anyway this is a really rough idea of things so we'll discuss again when we have the time.
Meanwhile, jiayou Kevin and Zhaofeng (although you're backstage?) for Dramafeste tomorrow!



ARES!!!!




<3

Ohkay kk, if you guys still remember...

Three charismatic individuals went infront of you and shared with you thier dream to SERVE WITH PASSION and LEAD WITH COMPASSION. Let's take a look at thier inspiring speeches =)

So wasted my cam no more dian when its my turn =(

On a last note, all those who have not paid 35bucks for the Founder's Day Dinner please do so tomorrow!!! Or else Ms Kumar will fail your history test =X for those not taking history, your PW applies.

Ohoh and also, a reminder to do your LIT presentation on the Dominica thing. For details, refer to Jerrold =)

Yours,

Haojie

Some kid is singing karaoke downstairs and it reverbrates around the HDB blocks quite freaky.

This is my SkyDrive for 09a13 and I uploaded the UPDATED CONTACT LIST with ms kumar's MSN and the class comm list and I'll constantly update it with documents regarding the class so if you're desperate for anything go and check it. Mr Lau's math worksheet is inside there also WHICH REMINDS ME...

Some person took my math and never return to my file! I'm not pissed off but omg it's damn hilarious someone returned to my file this half torn math worksheet with screwed up working and a few failed tictactoe games! HAHA if you are missing your math which contains the mentioned doodles tell me or else I will laminate and archive the screwed worksheet because it's damn funny!

[hanqing]

okay I'm going to post the list of names of people who haven't paid up for some stuff here.
