CLASS RELAY SYSTEM

2009-03-11T07:46:00.001-07:00

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!

Reshaping Teaching & Learning @ Hwa Chong

2009-03-10T08:29:00.000-07:00

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]

2009-03-10T07:42:00.000-07:00

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

CLASS SHIRT - round neck cotton t-shirt

2009-03-10T03:30:00.001-07:00

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

STRUDEL!

2009-03-09T08:20:00.000-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZHENPING AND ZHAOFENG (next monday)

Some mean Singapore jokes

2009-03-09T06:40:00.000-07:00

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!"

A To Z Of Kiasu Philosophy

Always must win
Borrow but never return
Cheap is good
Don't trust anyone
Everything also must grab!
Free! Free! Free!
Grab first talk later
Help yourself to everything
I first, I want, I everything
Jump queue
Keep coming back for more
Look for discount
Must not lose face
Never mind what they think
Outdo everyone you know
Pay only when necessary
Quit while you are ahead
Rushing and pushing wins the race
Sample are always welcome
Take but don't give
Unless it's free forget it
Vow to be number one
Winner takes it ALL! ALL! ALL!
Yell if necessary to get what you want
Zebras are kiasu because they want to be both black and white at the same time

If Singaporeans eat maggi mee and Indonesians eat indomee, then what do Malaysians eat?Sodomee

CLASS RELAY SYSTEM

2009-03-07T07:56:00.000-08:00

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.

You guys are IMPORTANT, after receiving msges from the people in PURPLE, please pass it on to the rest of your grp members.

If we need to gather responses, the people in red also please check with your group members then send those responses to the people in purple asap.

In the event that the people in red are uncontactable, (sick/camp/handphone confiscated or summat), the person below the red person will then pass on the message from the people in purple.

SO WOOHOO. I guess this is the finalized version of the class relay system!

[edited again by liuyi] [crashed by haojie] [crashed by zhaofeng]

class tshirt #2

2009-03-07T07:15:00.000-08:00

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.

Mr Lau Fanclub

2009-03-07T07:02:00.000-08:00

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.

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 (:

JUNIOR-TREAT-SENIOR

2009-03-06T20:48:00.001-08:00

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

Class Tee

2009-03-06T18:27:00.000-08:00

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.

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.

just a gentle reminder

2009-03-06T06:05:00.000-08:00

hey everyone! just something to remember k?

those people who haven't paid me $35 PLEASE do so by monday.

the treasury is going to be bankrupt if we pay for you guys first k?

well, class fund collection has to be soon anyway. JTS right? :D

and well, if you don't have money, go sell some assets or something. like your house xD

but PLEASE remember to bring the money!

-I sound super naggy but whatever. IT'S IMPORTANT-

NOTE: those who are not joining the class for the dinner please just drop me an sms or something. so I don't have to hound you for payment. :D

CT OUTINGS!

2009-03-04T07:10:00.001-08:00

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!!!!

2009-03-04T05:23:00.000-08:00

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.

Haojie

TO HIGHLIGHT HOW RESPONSIBLE YOUR CIP REP IS

2009-03-03T03:04:00.000-08:00

HELLO PPLS this is your ever-responsible CIP rep Yap Chun Kai here. *applause*

Ok so basically i'm just being responsible and informing you guys about CIP stuff you can do, as is my responsibility, and because i'm responsible I generally fulfil my responsibilities responsibly.

So just to inform you guys, there are 3 OCIP Programmes held during the June hols that you can sign up for now: OCIP Cambodia, OCIP Nepal, and OCIP Vietnam. (All the info you need is on the emb.) Don't get deterred by the claims that you might need to go 9 days or so without bathing, it'll probably be quite fun (i think), and all 3 OCIPs cost below $500. Besides, it'll look like gold on your portfolio.

BUT for those aiming to go for the history europe trip, DON'T (I REPEAT, DON'T) (LIKE SERIOUSLY, NO NEED TO "O RLY?" OR ANYTHING, JUST DON'T) sign up, cuz the dates for the OCIP and the trip clash, so unless you can teleport/ create horcruxes/ clone yourself, DON'T (SERIOUSLY, DON'T), sign up for OCIP.

Ok I think i've said all that I needed to say!

Your super-ultra-imba responsible CIP rep,
chunky :D

Zhenping's birthday is 09.03!

2009-03-01T01:46:00.000-08:00

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!

The only thing about this layout is that if you wish to post an entry, please always put a post title or else it will turn out weird

Anyway, I hope everyone is not feeling too sick or hung over from last night!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Pay Edwyna the money for Newsweek and GP Publication $56.30
Do your lit self intro form from Ms Ho and hand in to En Rui
Do your Induction 2 tutorial

#1. Taken during combined assembly! The skies above Hwachong/Nanyang are damn pretty.

#2. Chunkai is a damn amazing fella he will eat his spicy noodles until he sweats enough to drench both his sleeves. Look at him labouring away! We think he's secretly replaying Chit's bodywave in his head.

Speaking of which can Derek and Chunkai stop perving on the fac dance video at the Fishtank! Please don't join in their perverse entertainment all you guys!

#3. Here's the customary Happy Jerrold. Seriously we must try to compile a series of Sleeping/Happy Jerrolds.

#4. And a Happy Haojie to match!

#5. Omg Happy Zhaofeng. What a merry class.

#6. I have to state explicitly that I'm not sexist after all the gender shit from Lit. Here's the Happy Yuensin.

#7. I'm damn proud to say I drew this shit ok it's actually "improved on" by our sister class A16 but the premise of this beautiful glorious depiction comes from me ok. Look at Mona's enigmatic smile; AEP taught me well.

COUNCIL ELECTIONS

2009-02-22T02:23:00.000-08:00

Just a little something that most people should know by now.

Our beloved ANDREA PANG, KEVIN KOH and NG YUHUI are running for COUNCIL!

Therefore, to show our support to ANDREA PANG, NG YUHUI and their other 2 group members, we (09a13) should most definitely PROMOTE and PUBLICIZE and HELP them with their campaign!

THE SAME GOES FOR KEVIN KOH TOO!

Well, I guess we all want them to get into council right!

YESYES, SO EVERYONE!

Please spread ANDREA PANG's, NG YUHUI's and KEVIN KOH's names to everyone you know in ARES.

(YAY ARES GO!)

So that they can get into council and be the most ROCKING people there WOOHOO!

Ohya, Lukwern suggests that for their campaign video, we can help them do something like a parody of the US electons XD

Clinton, Obama, Palin and McCain XD

Wheeeee!

OKAY!

SO VOTE FOR ANDREA PANG, KEVIN KOH AND NG YUHUI!

And remember to spread their names!

09A13 life

2009-02-21T03:56:00.000-08:00

#1. This is evidence of the guys in our class perving on our very hot dance I/C especially the part everyone just calls "BREATHE!"

Around the computer screen @ Fishtank

Being very happy and shiok.

#2. Lit Students: Read Jane Eyre (it's a really un-tahan-able book i got read before) and get yourself a lit file! Says the Ms Heng(?) who keeps cracking weird secual jokes at random times does anyone else find it disconcerting?!?!?!

#3. Lukwern please make a blogskin soon! We will be in debt of your pwnfulness, can make it not the box kind make it the peabo kinda layout.

#4. Eh I must proclaim my personal "victory against the Athenians" because I managed to scam them into selling me the remnants of their ice cream tub for like 50 cents even though it was way larger than one scoop. I'm a bit kiasi i think.

That's after I ate quite a lot ok but I didn't know it was pandan and quite gross la ): The lime ice cream was nice imo!

#5. This is a personal opinion but I feel pwnful when I wear my fac shirt out and about. Oh and I have a new email address so if you're really damn toot and wondering who x.hanqing.x is, IT IS ME. Yeah just saying.

[hanqing]

#1. CSE students note that the presentation on your provinces is on Thursday, you need to finish the essay (2 pages) by Friday, and there is a quiz on Monday about Lecture 1 notes, key terms and a map test.

#2. Spot check this week! Cut your nails, clean your shoes, iron your uniform, cut your hair, wear long socks and... take out the string in your blouses? Haha lol that's quite lame.

#3. Math Tutorial H2 this Thursday! Do questions 4-10.

#4. Someone post things apart from me ok! If you don't, I will take as many unglam photos as possible with my phone camera and upload your overexposed, low resolution faces onto this blog. And you will be doomed, just ask the 413 people.

#5. Jerrold is damn sleepy. He actually sleeptalks but I think he doesn't know...
