6) CLL 1*600 words essay + 2*1000 words essays (OMGWTH)
7) PW EoM
8) PW GPPedia

10) STUDY FOR BLOCKS
if i've missed out anything pls feel free to add on to the list!
and very importantly,
please remember to eat healthily, drink more water,
top up ur health supplements, sleep more, exercise, etc.
STAY HEALTHY! (:
oh and even more importantly,
please rmb to practice sun safety.
1) Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
2) Look for shade, especially in the middle of the day when the sun's rays are strongest. If your shadow is shorter than you, the sun’s rays are at their strongest.
3) Use sunscreen and lip balm with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. Apply a generous amount of sunscreen (about a palmful) and reapply after swimming, toweling dry, or perspiring.
4) Follow these practices even on cloudy or overcast days. UV rays travel through clouds.
5) Avoid other sources of UV light. Tanning beds and sun lamps are dangerous because they can damage your skin.
Skin cancer cases in Singapore are increasing at an alarming rate.
and Chinese are more prone to skin cancer than Malays or Indians.
plus as global warming is causing the ozone layer to deplete,
the health risks of UV rays are now greater than ever.
so everyone,
please rmb to put on sunblock every day if possible.
MUGMUGMUG! :D

some entertainment for first day of holiday. :)
Wednesday, May 27, 2009 11:38 AM
hello peeps! :) singapore has reported its first H1N1 flu case, this morning on the paper, no i mean straitstimse.sg. wahaha, everybody is eagerly waiting for another 3 weeks of hols or even 3 months of holidays. but but we still must take care ok? :) at least we shouldnt die before we get our 3 months of holiday :D
Advice from MOH SINGAPOREANS are reminded to maintain high standards of personal hygiene. This means covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze or cough, and washing your hand frequently with soap and water, especially after contact with respiratory secretions (e.g., after sneezing and coughing).
We also need the cooperation of everyone to be socially responsible. This means staying home and avoiding crowded places (including trains, buses, offices), putting on a surgical mask and seeing a doctor if you have flu symptoms.
right, so we should have 1. 1L bottle of dettol 2. 1L bottle of hand washing soup, soap i mean. 3. 25 boxes of tissue paper 4. 25 packet of masks 5. 25 thermometers 6. 50 bottles of 1.5L drinking water 7. 25 apples 8. 25 room partitioners EVERYDAY.
actually we can just use something called technology, and a techonology called video conferencing. yes? yes.. isnt that why 3.5G phone is invented? or optical fibre is made for? :D
MOTHER is as naggy as ever. as all mothers do:
TAKE CARE AND EAT WELL. DRINK WATER AND EAT APPLES. SLEEP EARLY AND REST WELL. WASH HANDS. AND STAY AT HOME (IF YOU REALIZE THAT THE FLUID IN YOUR BODY IS OVERFLOWING, AND OOZING OUT FROM EVERY EXIT IT CAN FIND.)
09s72 is gonna survive this battle against oink oink flu.
PIGS CANT FLY, BUT SWINE FLU(flew).

well done HCCD & MAD! :D
dance night was great (:
good job!
please take note that there's NO e-learning on monday.
so pls don't blur blur stay at home on mon.
CLL test on WEDNESDAY.
Chem test on THURSDAY.
Bio M&M test on FRIDAY.
Homework:
1) MATHS tutorial 5C
2) BIO cell division tutorial & MM
3) CHEM tutorial
4) GSC summaries
i only got 2/3 for chem isp test so i think i won't be sharing my answers.
jiayou & good luck everyone!!
oh and if you're free on 1st june,
pls go for harmoc concert to support mengfei & ahma! (:
and regarding class tee.
thanks ppl who voted for my design! :D
but there are some probs.
1) too many colours
it's red bg, beige face, black outline & yellow pikachu.
four colours would be rather ex.
should i like,
change the pikachu to beige (EWW) or face to yellow? :D
2) hydrogen bond
some GL ppl came to tell me they don't want the H-bonds.
cos it would look like couple shirt.
sigh. actually i meant to design couple shirt as class tee.
it's so special! i really couldn't understand why they don't want it.
plus it's reference to chem *hint hint
3) back design
if we're having personalized design (eg. names),
it would cost ard $10-15 more than the normal tees.
im thinking of removing the personalized part.
meaning. just the whole (nick)name list at the back
and we highlight our own names using permanent gold markers.
yep that's about it, i hope you guys can consider the options and tell me asap so that i can finalize the design and pass it to guangyi by june hols. then maybe we can wear the shirts for GEMS! :D
oh yeah, a reminder: GEMS is on 16th june! :D
YAY BYE!
your lovely ORANGE (:

REJOICE for the 62nd post
Sunday, May 17, 2009 5:25 PM
Hey boys and girls, tomorrow is Monday.
Our class has been selected to go down to YCK stadium to support the Volleyball team for their match against NYJC. More details can be found on SMB.
Some important details to take note (as quoted from SMB):
'dismissed from lessons at 1.30pm. They are to proceed immediately board the buses at the slip road by the street soccer courts.'
'Attendance is compulsory for all students. Official reasons arerequired from all students not in attendance (e.g. from respective teachers-in-charge)Please be attired in either 1-I<3hc shirt 2-PE shirt 3-Full school uniform'
'Venue: YCK stadium Time: 1430 Dismissal time of classes: 1330 Dispatch time of classes: immediately upon dismissal'
The day after the day after tomorrow is Combined Sports Meet. WOOHOO.
So in order to show our support to the event, we are to do the following:
1)Come up with an A3 board with words like 'ARES' & '09S72' & 'HANDSOME YC' 2)Every class must have minimum 3 red buckets and a few STICKS (thick one preferably)to bang on the red buckets so as to create some noise. 3)Shakers. That's why please bring some empty cans tomorrow. One or two each. If don't have, please go buy some can drinks tomorrow and empty it. I will bring the beans and tape. Then we will CHOP CHOP make the shakers. 4)Any other things that you think can make noise. Maybe your mum or dad perhaps? I don't know. It differs for everyone.
Lastly, all the best for Maths and Econs test tomorrow.

1. Bryan Hee
2. Lim Chern Tze
3. Yee Guang Yi

5. Wu Qiuhan and Priscilla Chao
All good looking, intelligent, lively young people. Can't deny that they are *really, really, really, really* good looking.

Haruki Murakami

Orson Scott Card
René Goscinny
Jane Austen
Where's Wilde? That's intensely sacrilegious! I can't believe it!
Note about Wilde's supposed 'opinions' on art:
The previous post is extracted from the preface of the novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, not from the book itself. It was written by Wilde in response to criticisms on the book due to the unconventional themes found in the book that society did not readily accept back in the 1890s, and a closer look at the passage will reveal a lot more than just what is on the surface.
All art is quite useless?
Of course if you were to take the above quote (which many ignorant people do) as it is, it means one thing. Yet, if you were to study what Wilde says before this quote (which the person who posted the extract conveniently left out), you will understand what Wilde is really trying to say: We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.
All art is quite useless.
Never take a sentence or saying out of context, because words are dangerous.
When words are scarce, they are seldom spent in vain. - William Shakespeare
I rest my case.
THANK YOU!
10:11 AM
hey 09S72!
As I close another chapter of my life leading the class, I would like to sincerely thank everyone for making my short term as the class CT rep so enjoyable. Thank you very much at closing your eyes when i make those stupid mistakes and also for all your support all this while. It is really a new experience for me and I've learnt lots in these few months. Thank you!
As Yap Chien takes up the role as our CT rep, lets all give him our fullest support. :)
09S72 will always be the best in my heart:)
Love, Yiling:)
Something i rather see appear in the GP blog
Friday, May 15, 2009 10:46 PM
Hi fellow classmates, this is the first time im posting here!
Now we all know that our GP teacher has just finished his countless(i think two only) debates about art and how useful it is. I am glad that i have found the answer. The following will also hopefully make you more confused about art.
And if you are wondering if the souce is credible, see the author. Its one of his Favorite guy.
*Ahem*
(if you are in a hurry just read the red parts)
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde
The preface:
The artist is the creator of beautiful things.
To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impressions of beautiful things.
...(im getting irritated of typing already. "..."=redundant parts that im too lazy to type)
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope.
There are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.
there is no such thing as a moral or immoral book. Books are will written, or badly written. That is all.
....
No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.
No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything.
...
All art is at once surface and symbol.
Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril.
Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital. ...
All art is quite useless.
Thats all folks. See, the answer was just in one of our GP teacher's favourite(assumed) writer's books along_(insert Puncuation/s)
A&E:Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.
All the more why we should continue to allow *ahem* healthy debate in class, mostly about our answers like how good they are and stuff
A&E:there is no such thing as a moral or immoral book
Last time they only had books. I think the rest is self explanatory.
Good luck for Maths test!
CLL rep (thanks whoever posted "kiss goodbye" on classblog)
extra frm pg 45:"And Beauty is a form of genius- is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation."
Explains Y some people in class who (think they) look very good are scoring in tests.

GEMS (2)
Thursday, May 14, 2009 4:28 PM
Hey girls and boys! GEMS is finalised. Just need you people to pay up. Each person is $25, but 10$ subsidy is given by the school, so you people just have to pay $15 each, except for Captain Loy, who has to pay the full amount of $25.
So basically, just pay $15 to our class treasurer by end of next week. Thanks. Details on how to get there and stuff will be posted when the course date approaches.
Oh yeah, and I would like to express my deepest apologies to the class and Mr. Poh for GL-ing in his lesson today. Sorry :(
flirting techniques: revealed
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 4:10 PM
Let us look at some of the flirting techniques that the hunks in s72 are fond of: 1. The Demure Boy
Cuddle in a corner and make sure your eyes sparkle full of innocence. Only talk when necessary but keep silent most of the time, but not losing interest from the girl. This is a non-intrusive method to allow girls to feel at ease and secure. Occasionally, say something wise or answer tough questions that the rest of the class doesnt comprehend to aid in your cool factor. Works great when paired with a jacket. Try to blush as much as possible.
Prerequisites: Must be of a certain high intellectual level. For amateurs.
2. Playing Hard-To-Get
This is the boldest, most daring and most confident technique. Lurk around the girl and lose as much interest as possible when noticed by the girl. Feel free to take as much space as possible. Smile and maintain eye contact 90% of the time. Do not initiate anything with the girl but initiate it with others. During normal time, crack high-order jokes filled with sarcasm. Hide the exhaustion of thinking and coming up with such jokes under the charming smile.
Prerequisites: Must be tough, buff and capable of producing a sexy gaze. Confident in nature + wondrous sense of humor. Only for experts with decades of flirting experience.
3. The Talented Dude
A technique only applicable to a few Chosen Ones. Play a guitar. Reign in racket sports. Sing a song. Try to express your talents only when necessary and be humble at all times. If experienced, one can try to integrate a tinge of egoism to anything else other than your talents. Try making funny faces, imitating people or cracking cold jokes for a great effect. Only for talented individuals.
Prerequisites: Talent.
4. The Dark and Empty Alley
My personal favourite. Lure the girl to a place with no one around. Act interested but not too interested. Keep the conversation going. Try not to make shallow but well-placed jokes. Works well with a fake injured leg wrapped in a bandage to gain empathy.
Prerequisites: Time, money and a decent IQ. For noobs to take advantage when theres no one around.
However, luring 2 girls at once is too greedy and ambitious for tiny guys as seen from above.
The correct way to do it:
The Drama Continues
3:56 PM
Who is this unidentified guy? Is it the same unidentified guy from the previous chem lab lesson or another random dude? Or is he a calefare that GY hired to avoid made-up-scandals by his paparazzi?
Even if this unidentified guy is assumed to be the unidentified guy from the previous chem lab lesson, we still can't tell for sure. up till now, only 2 unconclusive pictures of him are released: one of his backview and one of his side profile, but from the pictures, we still can't tell for certain who is he yet. This is getting irritating! What we need is a clear and decent picture of his face!
We can only wait for time to tell.

NO ONE can resist the temptation.

all's forgiven! 原来君子 GY 大人有大量, 一场误会罢了, 让它过去吧!
hansum wols
you've guessed it! of course QH and GY would never ever let a mini misunderstanding event ruin their relationship! the relationship stays strong, looks like no one can break their bond, not even a cupid devil can threaten their affinity for each other!
gasping for breath because love is in the air!
in conclusion, the couples are happy together once again. as the saying goes: '月亮代表我的心', their everlasting love for each other will never end, not even when the moon ceases to exist.
but.......
does the story just end like that? will it be a typical happily-ever-after-love-story? will it be a never ending 武侠小说 plot? how will KZ react in response?
do stay tuned!
GEMS
7:59 PM
Hey girls and boys, I'm afraid to announce that for the GEMS module, we have to change our choice of baking items from Oreo Cheesecake & Small Chocolate Cupcake to Apple Strudel & Curry Puff. Durian strudel is fine too, but since some of our classmates don't eat durian, we will go along with apple.
This sudden change is because while discussing the choice of baking items with the vendor, they mistook our budget. So they recommended the choice of Oreo Cheesecake & Small Chocolate Cupcake. So when contacting them earlier on, they told me we can't go along with that choice. So we have to choose apple strudel and curry puff. I'm so sorry that I messed up with them.
So is everybody fine with this choice? If there is any violent objection, please sms/call me asap. If not, I will just assume that everyone's fine with it and contact the vendor tomorrow to confirm the booking. Once again, sorry for the screw up.

the drama unfolds
Thursday, May 7, 2009 7:44 PM
一个风和日丽的星期四早晨... it was a blissful morning. the sun was blooming like a happy flower, and the skies, were as blue as possible.
it was a beautiful day.
it was the perfect day for a relaxing stroll in the park, and it couldn't be any better with Your Loved One being next to you.
on such occasions, the cupid angels can never resist beautiful days so they come out to work and have some fun.
the legendary ancient cupid angel on a limited edition ikea armchair
latest sightings of the modern cupid angel at work
cupid angel caught slacking
as you can see, cupid angels come in many forms, but they all have one identical objective: to bring people of the opposite gender together.
during this special day, the cupid angels flew from their faraway lands, beyond the stormy seas and snowy mountains, finally arriving in the midst of the burette meadows to dedicate their time for the beloved 09s72. some have chosen to remain hidden within the sea of testubes.
cupid angels at work
cupid angels not at work
no one can withstand temptations when being struck by The Arrow; not even fac babe & CT rep
from above, one can be convinced of the great magical powers each cupid arrow possesses. only a few Chosen Ones are able to withstand the temptation of the arrows, and such people include broad-minded and broad-chested people like our very well respected GP teacher.
O, how blessed we are, to have cupid angels roaming around in our society!
but hold on! wait a minute! what is the meaning of this? who is the unidentified guy beside QH and what is he doing?
究竟发生了什么事?
many people believe that cupid angels, being 'angels', are perfectly good souls and viewed as messengers of a supreme divine being. unfortunately, the picture above has proven the hypothesis wrong.
cupid angels have their dark sides too. a whiff of ammonia can turn a cupid angel into a cupid devil. cupid devils dip their arrows into solutions of FA1, and are able to create arrows of lust and despair.
how will QH respond to see GY weeping in a corner? who is the unidentified creature? who let out the ammonia gas?
only time will tell.

Final touches to PI!
Tuesday, May 5, 2009 8:49 PM
Hi All,
Please spread the word around to check the class blog for the following message.
After all the effort we put in for PI, just a few finishing touches some of you may want to double check.
Footnote
It is a MUST to have (or best to have) footnotes to cite your sources. Put your sources to support your info in APA format!
Reference/ Bibliography
At the end of your entire PI, you can have a reference page to cite all your sources again. Simply copy all the sources you put in for the footnotes and put them all together in the last page. Remember! APA format!
I’ve checked with Mrs Tan, it is best if we have footnotes to cite our sources (and provide info if you need) AND repeat the sources again in the final reference page.
For all those mentioned below, double check those areas that I point out. Just some areas to note:
If I put footnote, it is most probably you don’t have footnote or your footnote has some problems, like the source not quoted in APA format or that you didn’t even put in the sources. It is good (essential) to put in sources at footnote to support what you say at the relevant point.
If you are wondering how to put in footnote. For Microsoft 2003 version, go to insert then reference then footnote. For the latest version of Microsoft, go to the reference tab and you’ll see it.
If I write reference/bibliography, check your reference page. It is most likely that you didn’t put the sources in APA format. This is just to perfect it. If you find that it is useless and waste of time, go ahead to ignore it. For those who have problem quoting sources in APA format, you can refer to www.citationmachine.net. There are also some of us who totally left out the reference page. Do include even if you have written in the footnote.
Finally, the list.
· Huilin- Reference. Check for APA format and your word count is far too much.
· Preston- No footnotes. Your reference page is really ugly due to the rain. Please try to reprint if possible.
· Cherntze- Reference. APA format. For footnotes as well.
· Theodore- No Footnotes. Reference.
· Warren- Reference & Footnote. Check format.
· Yanjie- Format for footnote and reference
· Xinying- Footnote.
· Yap Chien- Footnote
· Guangyi- Footnote
· Charmaine- Footnote
· Pris- Reference
· Chengyi- Reference & footnote
· Jingjing- Reference
· Jia Qiang- Footnote & Reference
· Kai Ren- Reference & Footnote
· BiXuan- Footnote
· Mengfei- Reference
· Qiuhan- Reference format
· Shenyi- Just to confirm. Your footnotes quotation, is it in your reference list? If not, pls add it in as well.
· Zikeng- You have a lot of info in your footnote. Essential? Anyway, pls quote the source of your info in your footnote as well.
· Yuhan- Footnote
· Bryan- Please confirm your latest version with Mrs Tan. She is holding two copies of your PI and is assuming one of them to be your latest. Please double check to have your latest one recorded. And check your footnote. No sources quoted.
In summary, you need to have footnotes and reference page. Both in APA format! Please double check. For those who think that this is all useless, go ahead and ignore it.
Okay. So that’s about all. Please do check and do the final finishing touches. Mrs Tan wants all final copy by TOMORROW. Final deadline! Ok. Jiayou everyone for GPP as well! J Please do not be upset that I went through all your work. I just merely checked your reference and footnote and I apologize if I upset anybody going through all the work. Sorry in advance.
Final thing, for all who is submitting an edited version, we have to do everything outside class time so I need everyone’s cooperation. Please hand up only your final copy. (With regards to the draft Mrs Tan gave comments on, she wants it back too. So do bring along as well. HOWEVER, please do not staple to your final version!) And last thing, please remember to punch holes!
Thank you very much. Jiayou!
Regards,
YiLing:)
TDF - Travel Declaration Form
5:27 PM
Hey S72. This is the handsome, charming and cute boy who nearly caused Mr. Poh to puke while reading our blog.
I would just like to remind you guys (and girls of course) to SIGN THE TRAVEL DECLARATION FORM AND SUBMIT TO YOURS TRULY BY THURSDAY. Thanks. My first collection task given to me by Captain Loy, please help me complete it successfully, lest he make me walk the plank and feed to sharks. Then all the girls (who have been queuing up from East Cost Park to West Coast Park to Sentosa and to the Artemis Fac of HCJC) will be SO heartbroken.
