P.S. SPAIN FOR THE WIN!!! (if y'all have NO idea what i'm referring to, it's EURO 08!)
:EDIT:
OMG I just realized I posted after midnight! so it says saturday. haha.
Finally, the day was due to come to come. The anticipation, the expectation, and hard work had paid off. The waiting has come to an end.
The Common Tests are, at long last, OVER!
I know the CTs are very stressful and depressing. I can just hear it in the tags! At least it is over, for now.
Now, this is the best time to take a good breather and relax. Have a good short break! Have some fun! (and maybe 'mock' the others stuck in 'deary' laboratories.)
Wishing all for our best for our Chinese 'A'-Level Orals on the 9th June, and of course Albert for his Malay, and Shashank for his *EDIT:* Hindi (I forgot if Mainak is taking... whoops... anyway, all the best!).
Ok... Now, not that I want to depress further, but now let's move on to Maths VA and Chinese VA. I have not really started yet, and by the looks of the research attachment, not anytime soon. Jiayou!
If Albert already has something in mind, sorry for taking up your place!
Anyway, QUIZ TIME! I don't want June to look lifeless, especially with the holidays, and those sc... you know what I mean. So I've come to spice it up!
Haha, bet no one will know this! Which faculty of NUS/NTU/Biopolis is this picture taken? This is open to all... Like who is likely to be following me in the night to see where I took it? Of course I'm alone!
Again, Jiayou for Common Tests! Achieve and soar! And Mok does have a point there.
Yup, its the CT week. When people are failing and jumping down from buildings...
Anyway, fret not, cos I found a *new and *improved formula/cure for exam-depression
*pls note that its for my college ONLY
Basically, our final promotion is split into 3 categories:
VA (10%)
CT (20%)
Promos (70%)
VA - Pray that your teacher is nice XD and so roughly, u will get around 8/10
Hence, VA = 8%
CT - Fail miserable 10/100 (Dun fail all though, need see principal)
Hence, CT = 2%
Thats 10%/30%
Promos - PASS
Thats 35%/70%
OVERALL 45%/100%
ITS AN "E" grade, so u get promoted XD
(adapted from MOK's blog, thought up by MOK, reprinted with permission from MOK, exclusively from MOK and for 08s19 XD)
The meaning behind is therefore, pass ur promos if u can't pass ur CTs.
And try to pass at least something, 4Us earn u
-coffee in principal's office, if they are nice enough to give u tat.
-from reliable information, councillors who fail CTs are given some study slot where they are LOCKED in a room to study themselves.
-chance to be barred from CCA (if u dun like it)
-see parents (non-scholars of course)
-expulsion (for those who have academic+discipline+mental problems)
And those weirdos at tagboard identify urself before tagging.
YOOOOOOOOO! hahas june only have 4 posts... shall increase that number yeah?
JIAYOU FOR COMMON TESTS (AND SPA)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GAMBATTE!!!!!!!!
ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!!
AZA AZA FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDD

Taken from TODAY, Friday 20 June 2008.
"School starts on Monday, after a somewhat mixed break for many students. The debate on the work piling up on our students during the holidays continues amid the pressure built up during term time...
...These young people are like the saplings of a young plant — nurture them and they will grow and soar high into the skies. Bombard them with too much sunlight, water and fertiliser and the saplings will die. We should nurture our children, not smother them with an overdose of everything."

Nurture, not Smother
And tag/comment =)
Hmmm, class blog looks really dead... REALLY!!!
To spice up everyone's life and let them charge up to prepare for CT (which is probably why this is so dead)
ITS MY TIME TO SHOWCASE (a joke XD):
A ruffian walk into a pub and shouted at the bartender, "GIMME 1 MUG OF COLD BEER OR..."
Afraid, the bartender gave him his mug of cold beer free of charge. This went on day by day and eventually, the bartender got really nervous of the situation and asked his wife for advice, and all he get was to stand up for himself. Easier said than done, but the man decided to give it a try.
Next day, the ruffian went into the pub again and shouted, "GIMME 1 MUG OF COLD BEER OR..."
"O-o-o-r-r... w-w-h-a-a-a-a-t...?" stammers the bartender
"A mug of coke"

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things---God, your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favourite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else - the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'
