Is there anyone still using this blog

It is kinda dead and i seriously suggest the administrator CS to delete this blog. otherwise if people from other class accidentally come to this blog and see the latest entry was posted a few thousand years ago, it will be a big joke about our class's dying class spirit. so what do you guys think?

This is the spirit of our class: minimalist, no blog, no facaulty, no outing, no this no that. better no school, no exam, no homework. remove everything unnecessary from our world only after that we realise the world can actually be so quiet.

The June Mugidays is coming

Hehe ... June "holidays" approaching ... Guess we don't have much of a choice but to mug through this "hols" in order to do well for BT2 (or at least this applies to the few of us who still have sucky results and need to buck up) But, before the mugging begins, shall we have some play as a class? Say, join in our juniors class chalet or go watch POC3 together or sth? Damn sianz ...

We Won 7E ...

Yay, cheers to Chen Shuang, Defeng, Xiuyi and Mei Hui ... Despite being the 1st runner up for the economics mastermind, we still have beaten our "rival" 7E ! Isn't that great ... Well, let's hope we keep up with the good work and aim to beat 7E flat in BT2 okies ? Hahaz ...

Declaring War on 7C?

Well, xiuyi and I tried to do that during MAC last friday ... Sadly, to our horror, there is no one form 07S7C in MAC ... So dissapointed ... Couldn't ask them of their opinion of what actions they would take and how they will feel if they realised someone played a prank on them by secretly swapping their class bench elsewhere?

OMG we have finally defeated 7E in physics

keep up with the good work!

In the meantime...

congratulations to the whole class for getting As for PW!

If only we didnt have lessons, we would be able to have a class outing...

3 cheers for 6K!

after the class bench episode, some residents of 6K have declared war with 7C

we shall wish those bravados a happy and successful war campaign.

more cows

Feudalism you have two cows. your lord takes some of the milk
Socialism you have two cows. The goverment takes them and puts them with everyone elses cows. Then give you as much as it thinks you need.
Bureacratic you have two cows. The gov. takes them in and put them in a barn with everyone elses cows. They are cared for by chicken farmers. then you have to take care of the chickens that the gov. took from the chicken farmers
Communism you have two cows. your neighbors help you take care of them and everyone shares the milk
Russian Communism you have two cows. you have to take care of the cows. then the gov. takes all the milk.
Democracy you have two cows. your neighbors decide who gets the milk.
Represenative democracy You have two cows. you elect someone with the best face for TV to tell you how to take care of your cows.
Bureaucracy you have two cows. the gov. regulates when you can fed them and when you can milk them. Then pays you not to. then it takes the cows, shoots one, milks the other dry, and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms concerning the missing cows.
Facism you have two cows. the gov. takes them both and shoots you.
Capitalism you have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

Two cows as applied to Financial Markets

Originally by Mark Gilbert, columnist, Bloomberg

Leveraged Buyouts
You have two cows. You come home from the fields one day to find Henry Kravis chatting to your spouse at the dining-room table. Two days later, you have no spouse, no farm, and no table. Two guys the size of sumo wrestlers have saddled up the cows and are riding them around the farmyard.

Currency Market
You have two cows. China has 1 trillion cows. Guess who sets the price of milk?

Bond Market
You have two cows. One is Brazilian, one is Australian. They yield 25 quarts of milk per day. That's half as much as three years ago, when you traded your less-lactiferous German and U.S. cows for them. You are thinking of swapping for a pair of Namibian cows. They only have three legs but, hey, they produce 26 quarts per day.

Derivatives
You have two cows. You repackage five of them into a Collateralized Lactating Obligation, pay for a AAA credit rating, slice the CLO into 10 pieces and sell it to investors, skimming the cream from the milk for yourself. Three of the cows fall ill, and the credit rating plummets. You get to keep the cream.

Hedge Funds
You have two cows. A guy in an open-necked shirt drives up in his Bentley and offers to take care of them for you in return for a year's supply of steak and 50 percent of their milk. They won't be allowed to leave his compound for two years. Six months later, you have half a cow, producing sour milk. ``You have to be willing to lose rump today to get rib-eye tomorrow,'' the hedge-fund guy mumbles through a mouthful of sirloin and champagne.

Economics
Assume two cows.

Carbon-Emissions Trading
You have two cows. They produce 1.2 tons of methane gas per day. After a hefty donation to the re-election campaign of your local representative, the government gives you enough emission permits for six cows. You sell three permits, buy another cow, and apply for a European Commission grant to build a methane-gas power station.

Microsoft Corp.
You have one old, tired cow. A recent heart transplant may have come too late to save the beast.

Google Inc.
You have no cows. You slap advertisements on everyone else's cows. The milk floods in. You use the proceeds to reinvent the cow.

Apple Inc.
Nobody wants your cows. You design the cutest little milk bottle. Now, everybody wants your cows.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
You have 26,467 cows. They are strapped into the milking machines 24/7. Some of them have more hay than they could ever hope to eat. Others aspire to one day having more hay than they could ever hope to eat. The cows with the most hay end up with big government jobs.

Pension-Fund Management
You have two cows. How boring is that? You pay a month's supply of milk to a consultant, who advises you to sell one cow and buy two aardvarks instead. The aardvarks die. The consultant charges you four months of your (now reduced) milk supply and advises you to sell half of your remaining cow and buy a wombat. The wombat dies. The consultant charges eight months of milk for a copy of his new report, ``Two-Cow Strategies for Alleviating the Impending Pensions Crisis.''

Russian Energy
You have two cows. Comrade, those cows are an environmental hazard. We suggest you hand one of them over to us.

Credit-Default Swaps
You have two cows. You buy insurance against them dying, and tuck the contracts into the middle of that tottering pile of documentation on your desk. One dark night, Henry Kravis sneaks off with your cows. By the time you track down the paperwork, your now worthless contracts have expired.

Interest-Rate Swaps
You have two cows. You pledge one of them to me as collateral in a swap for some of my pigs. I pledge the cow to my neighbor as collateral in a swap for some of his sheep. He pledges the cow to his cousin as collateral in a swap for some of his cousin's goats. Better pray the livestock market doesn't crash and we have to try and round up that cow.

Commodities
You have lots of stocks and bonds, but no cows. Are you crazy? Cows are the hot new market. Here, buy this exchange- traded cow futures contract. It can't lose. It gained 40 percent in the past six months.

Gold
You have two cows. You wear a cap you made out of tin foil so that the tiny black helicopters can't read your thoughts. You spend your days blogging about how the government's decision to abandon the cattle standard in 1933 was part of a global conspiracy by the world's central banks to destroy the value of your herd.

V Day

Yay, its 14th Feb, V day cum friendship day cum cross country day! apparently e guys in our class r unmoved by the events on this day cos they had no form of appreciation for members of the other gender in the class. Guys in some other classes had sent every girl in e class a flower but in our class, e situation was girls giving friendship day gifts only. wat happened to e guys??!! haha, tat meant no offence. anyway, quite a fair bit of events took place today. after e mass angel-give-mortal-mortal-give-angel gift session, we had e best present- chem test on kinetics! hm...e activation energy in our class seems rather low, cos we dont have any class couple. there may have been many collisions but too little effective collisions (in fact none to speak of). Look at our junior class, e rate of formation of class couples is 2 in less than 3 months. haha but such things cant be forced so we can only satisfy ourselves with juicy rumours... cross country was ok la since girls who ran for the mass run all came within top 100. sadly, our dearest pe rep decided to jog n tok kok n henceforth came in 500++ (e number, not actual ranking). n we allexperienced a little bit of a shock before e run cos we realised we had no number tags! btw, e concentrated milo was nice! today, our class finally displayed a bit of unity when we mass pon e award ceremony. One for all, all for one, when one leaves, all leave. LOL

ICE CREAM!

These few days you would have discovered that 2 CCAs have set-up ice cream stores for the school population.

Come and eat some ice-cream to cool down. =P O>

falling sick

falling sick is a sad thing and im beginning to suspect tat a bug's in the class. ppl hav been falling sick one after another since the start of the year and the latest victim is mr foo, who's declared tat he wont be coming to sch for 2 days. is it sth to do with the erratic weather or is it our bodies which have grown too weak after too much studying? haha, apparently the latter doesnt apply to the majority of our classmates who remain fit and healthy. anyway, would like to commend the councillors for their tissue cos it certainly helps a sick person like me who has to ensure her nose doesnt run away.

Quotes from Woody Allen

• To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But, then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love, to be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy, therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness....
• There's an old joke... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life — full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness — and it's all over much too quickly.
• More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.
• I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.
• My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.
• You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.

Nitrogen

Agreed we need to be more N2 and more posts for our blog

dont let it die out like the last one...

shall be the one to comment on chem spa today

First, it is the first ever spa skill a that i have completed within the time limit. wont get killed by tham.=]

Next, with no aromatic compounds ths tests have become alot easier to do.

Last, alot of paper for me to waste space and write BIG so i am happy!

but..

I hate doing tests in the audi or any LT cos they are not very "left-hander friendly", the tables are all opened from the right and even the leftmost tables are right handed. I had to lean my hand on the other table or hold it there and train my arm's endurance just to finish the test.

Today, I have made a personal best in tying strings in which i can tie a string around a bottle within 40 seconds but still very slow cos i still have 60 more bottles to tie right now...

The in-charge told me to go ahead and leave the job for the j1s tomorrow if not they have nothing to do during the CCA session. Feel bad leaving the work for them, but if i can slack cos of that i am more than willing to let them do.

oh yeah! BTW who has the current junior class class list i want 1!

help: we need oxygen

gee jus saw the juniors' blog, more happening than ours lor. hm maybe we should bring a cam to capture precious moments of our class too. people, pls post, give the blog oxygen. we need to keep the blog alive, its barely surviving even though its jus started.

If Economics was a religion....

Adam Smith would be Moses, because he brought the Word (aka The Wealth of Nations) to the masses. Stuart Mills, Karl Marx and Ricardo would be the old testament prophets. John Maynard Keynes would be the saviour, who saved millions from sin (aka The Great Depression) and died at a young age.

The Nobel Prize Laureates would be the equivalent of Saints and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences would be the College of Cardinals. The promised land would be the United States (where an awful lot of the faithful (aka Economists) live and practise the faith), and the Pope (aka Chairman of the Federal Reserve) presides and wields its powerful staff (Read: Interest Rates) over all nations of the world.

The priests (aka Teachers and Professors) would go out to preach the Word (now corrupted into neo-classical, Keynesian, monetarists, etc... sort of like sectarian splits) to the unsaved (Read: Students).

Swearing vs. Insulting

I believe FCY did not claim that WDF cannot swear, but that he cannot insult. Anyone can dive into a dictionary (or heck, even Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_swear_words or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_profanity). Anyone can remember the list and *boom* you can now spew profanities anytime, anywhere. However, insulting your adversary, especially without the use of any explicit swear words, would be a much higher art.

Wad a very weird post

WDF, u can swear. You have proven to ME that point for countless number of bloody times. its surprising to hear mr Foo commenting about other's swearing abilities when you hardly hear him speak socially at all. Moreover, the fact that a comment someone cant measure up to another's swearing abilities can induce so much reaction in someone is incredibly strange. And might i add, that swearing is not civilised. =D

I luv our juniors. have you guys read the exchange of love letters between fish tank and sexygirl yet? its really funny. i think it would be such a good idea to update our blog with these "heart warming" love letters. however, if you really know the true identity behind sexygirl, it might induce goosebumps rather than any warmth. I feel quite sad for Sophie coz Leo say he very busy so dun want to write to her. haha.

Ppl, plz go for STJ. We cant possibly only turn up for events when ppl treat us yea. Like last year the crap JTS. hai. Class be more united lah.....more people turn up we can have more fun playing with our juniors b4, during and after the event mah!

Some Random Suggestions to the Newly Born Blog---WDF---

---Wu Defeng---
So you guys see the frist suggestion here? why not tag your name at the beginning of your entry or at the end of the title or any where obvious and eye-catchy so that we know who the motherf***ker who posted this entry actually is. sorry for being rude here, but actually it is just to reply to Mr F's comment that WDF don't know how to swear. ok, here it goes: WDF are able and willing to swear, and WDF can swear really dirtily. [Ed Note: Be civil. If you want to swear at FCY to prove you can swear, then swear at him, not here.]

OK, here is the second comment of the newly born blog. can we migrate the whole crap book here so we will have a crap blog. since our crap book is so popular, this crap blog may become very popular as well. i believe that collective effort will win any individual. so if we write together, this may ended up the most popular blog in the word. our should we start a some kind of wiki thing, say name it wikiblog whatsoever. it may be a very good business idea so CS take note, ha. ( err, probably some smarta** has come out with it already but it is still unbeknown to me.)

the third advice here is to our beloved Master X, since he is the class secretary. then filling the blog with formal entry of our notorious deed everyday is naturally part of his job. so should we suggest to the higher authority that we officially make it as part of Master X's job( Master X will kill me mercilessly if this becomes true, so those people in the class who wants to strike me with great vangence, this is your chance....)

So you see, after attending Miss Y's lesson, my entry becomes very organised and neat, isn't it.

Over.....

Juniors contact list

somebody plz get the juniors contact list!!!! i want to play dota with them =(

MAS-ESS Economics Essay Competition

Hey, as you know, Mr Andrew Tan has talked to us about the MAS-ESS Economics Essay competition with the 2006-2007 competition topic being "Asian Financial Crisis: 10 Years On - What Has Changed and What Have We Learnt".

I (btw, Chen Shuang here) am thinking of forming a team to participate in this competition, so is anyone interested? Also, Poh Wei (our senior from 05S34) won the grand prize in the Pre-U section last year. You can see the 2005-2006 winning essays at http://www.mas.gov.sg/masmcm/bin/pt1MAS_ESS_Essay_Competition_2005_Awards_Ceremony.htm
So any takers? Leave a comment please!

my first blogging experince

Oh so this thing is called blogging. I just want to write something so that I am the second person to post something. You can continue posting 1000 entries and you can't beat me in being the second person. That is an immense achievement for me. So here I need to go off celebratiing for this achievement. If you happend to read then congratulate me straight away. If you havn't read then remember to remind me to remind you to read so you won't miss out on the chance to congratulate me. The world is never fair, for where there is the sun their is the tan. But I'm going to make sure that everyone has a equal chance to congratulate me, or to treat me or admire me or idolise me, for that matter.
