Dear 10S7F,
I am cheered to see that from your promo results, you all are making progress. It is a certainty though that there is still room for improvement (as I didn't see any straight As) and I wish you all the very best. Remember that you are the very best, according to the high standards you set for yourself.
I hope that you all live up to your own expectations of what you want for your life. The greatest victory at this time of reckoning is simple - gain mastery over yourself.
Don't let yourself down - be the best that you can be. Your life deserves nothing less.
Sincerely,
Mr. Tan @ King's
Good Luck for A Levels!!
Good luck for A levels people!

Ig Nobel Prize 2011
Yo!
this is supposed to be funny serious i think.
my personal favourite is the peace prize. in that case the girls in our class would win it for being wonderfully peaceful :)
The 2011 Ig Nobel winners, awarded Thursday at Harvard University by the Annals of Improbable Research magazine:
PHYSIOLOGY: Anna Wilkinson, Natalie Sebanz, Isabella Mandl and Ludwig Huber for their study "No Evidence of Contagious Yawning in the Red-Footed Tortoise."
CHEMISTRY: Makoto Imai, Naoki Urushihata, Hideki Tanemura, Yukinobu Tajima, Hideaki Goto, Koichiro Mizoguchi and Junichi Murakami for their wasabi alarm.
MEDICINE: Matthew Lewis, Peter Snyder, Robert Feldman, Robert Pietrzak, David Darby, Paul Maruff along with Mirjam Tuk, Debra Trampe and Luk Warlop for studying the effects of holding in urine.
PSYCHOLOGY: Karl Halvor Teigen for trying to understand why people sigh.
LITERATURE: John Perry for his theory of procrastination: To be a high achiever, always work on something important, using it as a way to avoid doing something that's even more important.
BIOLOGY: Daryll Gwynne and David Rentz for discovering that certain kinds of beetles try to mate with certain kinds of Australian beer bottles.
PHYSICS: Philippe Perrin, Cyril Perrot, Dominique Deviterne, Bruno Ragaru and Herman Kingma for trying to determine why discus throwers become dizzy, and why hammer throwers don't.

PUBLIC SAFETY: John Senders for his experiments in which a driver on a major highway repeatedly has a visor flapped down over his face.
Cheers :D
The last day of school.
As the day draws to an end, I too realise that today is the last day of school. Its not as if I never knew this day would come, but whenever great things come to an end, it all seems so surreal. Things we took for granted and always there, things we even hated and wished it would end suddenly become precious. We’ll never have lessons in E205 and stuff like doing tutorials at the class bench, attending lectures. Most importantly, I will never get the chance of having a proper school day with 10S7F again.
And it is then we wonder if we have truly appreciated and experienced. In this reflective state, I must say that these 2 years have really gone by too quickly. The fact that JC is short can only be appreciated at the end of the journey despite it being told to us umpteen times by seniors and teachers alike. I can still remember how reluctant I was to join my new class at the start of the year due to certain very important reasons which make JC life interesting. It was a sentiment echoed by my friends at that time and we griped about it every single day for a rather long time. Fast forward 2 years, I can say with pride that 10S7F is indeed an amazing class and I couldnt wish for more. Thank you all for making these 2 years simply phenomenal.
As with all things, we only appreciate them when they are coming to an end. Perhaps that is why our class has become so bonded in the past year. The fact that JC life is really ending pushes us to come together as a class to have fun and create memories that will last a lifetime. In retrospect, I must admit that I could have done more with my class and perhaps create even more happy memories. But what purpose will such regrets serve?
I will always remember all the times I have spent with the class, the funny things, the serious stuff, the small moments which are important, the big events... and the stupid things. The laughter, the jokes, the moments of epicness.. moments of sheer stupidity. The games, the shouting, the excitement, the mugging... and know that today merely marks the end of one phase of JC life. We may never get to sit in the same class and experience school but the people will always be there. and perhaps, we will treasure them even more.
As we all move into our own preparatory work for prelims and A levels, recognise that we arent as alone as we think we are. And more importantly, in all that busyness, we can find time to relax in our own little ways cuz destressing is very cool. whoops.
All the best :D

Thanks!
3 more days before the end of formal lessons...
Somehow I feel that the class is becoming more bonded as time goes by, given all the kart-riding, tutorial-mugging, photo-taking. May we have the most enjoyable 3 months in our life before we part ways!
Thanks all for supporting the class montage. I have improved the colour scheme to make it look less like a horror flick and added the photo of Mrs Irene Lim. Let's look forward to a memorable graduation :D
Class Dedication Page
More class montage stuff
Hi again!
Do inform me if you prefer strongly for me to include/exclude certain photos in the class montage. Some photos are meant to be funny but if you feel uncomfortable don't feel shy to sms/email me.
Also for those who have not informed me on what to put beside your name label, I will randomly select an image of what I think about you. Do inform me too if you want to change the image.
Finally I severely lack photos of many class outings. If you have any photos on
2010: Class chalet, MAF, CNY, STJ/JTS, various outings
2011: STJ/JTS, Campfire, Fac Outing
please please please (I beg you...) please send me ok?
Requiem...
All the hype about everything...
Some music to comple(i)ment it *^_^*
Cheers
Some music to comple(i)ment it *^_^*
Cheers
I need some help...
Will be requesting lot's of specific photos during this period. I will post all my requests on the tag box. Please spam me relevant photos (even if the quality is subpar) to khorshijie@gmail.com.
Hope that the class will be spontaneous in sharing photos :) In the meantime, have fun with Flippaball tomorrow!
Interesting Read
A Modern Parable
by Alexander Calandra
Saturday Review, Dec 21, 1968.
Some time ago I received a call from a colleague who asked if I would be the referee on the grading of an examination question. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student claimed he should receive a perfect score and would if the system were not set up against the student: The instructor and the student agreed to submit this to an impartial arbiter, and I was selected.
I went to my colleague's office and read the examination question: "Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer."
The student had answered: "Take a barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer to the street and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building."
I pointed out that the student really had a strong case for full credit since he had answered the question completely and correctly. On the other hand, if full credit was given, it could well contribute to a high grade for the student in his physics course. A high grade is supposed to certify competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. I suggested that the student have another try at answering the question I was not surprised that my colleague agreed, but I was surprised that the student did.
I gave the student six minutes to answer the question with the warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. At the end of five minutes, he had not written anything. I asked if he wished to give up, but he said no. He had many answers to this problem; he was just thinking of the best one. I excused myself for interrupting him and asked him to please go on. In the next minute he dashed off his answer which read:
"Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop that barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then using the formula S = ½at², calculate the height of the building.
At this point I asked my colleague if he would give up. He conceded, and I gave the student almost full credit.
In leaving my colleague's office, I recalled that the student had said he had many other answers to the problem, so I asked him what they were. "Oh yes," said the student. "There are a great many ways of getting the height of a tall building with a barometer. For example, you could take the barometer out on a sunny day and measure the height of the barometer and the length of its shadow, and the length of the shadow of the building and by the use of a simple proportion, determine the height of the building."
"Fine," I asked. "And the others?"
"Yes," said the student. "There is a very basic measurement method that you will like. In this method you take the barometer and begin to walk up the stairs. As you climb the stairs, you mark off the length of the barometer along the wa]l. You then count the number of marks, and this will give you the height of the building in barometer units. A very direct method."
"Of course, if you want a more sophisticated method, you can tie the barometer to the end of a string, swing it as a pendulum, and determine the value of `g' at the street level and at the top of the building. From the difference of the two values of `g' the height of the building can be calculated."
Finally, he concluded, there are many other ways of solving the problem. "Probably the best," he said, "is to take the barometer to the basement and knock on the superintendent's door. When the superintendent answers, you speak to him as follows: "Mr. Superintendent, here I have a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of this building, I will give you this barometer."
At this point I asked the student if he really did know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think, using the "scientific method," and to explore the deep inner logic of the subject in a pedantic way, as is often done in the new mathematics, rather than teaching him the structure of the subject. With this in mind, he decided to revive scholasticism as an academic lark to challenge the Sputnik-panicked classrooms of America.

Class Montage
Hi all,
Here's a skeleton of our class montage:
Theme: 武林秘笈
1. Splash screen
Will get Mozhi to draw something cool, like what he drew on our class journal
2. Orientation
This section mainly features how we meet, early 2010
I plan to do something creative here, the song is Candyman by Christina Aguilera, a rather fast paced one. Thinking of including a stop animation like video of the class here
3. Studying, preparing for exams, some not so fun stuff
Things we usually do, like mono deal, mahjong, pizzas, ice-cream, photos in classroom, maybe we can put eka's bowling video here
4. Teachers
Photos of our teachers
5. Fun stuff
Yea, as the title suggest, events like fac outing, kbox, chalet
6. Ending
Something like this looks cool, can ask Yan Seng act as the scammer
The video will be like a 武林秘笈 with 4 chapters (2-5 on the list above). Each chapter will have a title screen with both Chinese and English subtitles, something like:
第一回：不到华初非好汉
Chapter 1: ... (My english not powerful enough someone help me come up with a catchy phrase?)
第二回：书生谈笑破强敌
Chapter 2: ...
第三回：学其成时吾念师
Chapter 3: ...
第四回：欢欢欢欢欢欢欢
Chapter 4: Fun Fun Think About Fun (Sounds familiar?)
Soundtracks:
Candyman - Christina Aguilera
Stop and Stare - OneRepublic
...
(Currently working on a soundtrack, will update soon)
That's all for now, will bring my laptop next week to copy photos. Meanwhile do give me comments to improve the video :)
P/S: Anyone has a DSLR? I kinda need some specific photos...
Some funny stuff... (No vulgarities intended)
My high school friend recently showed my a photo of what his teacher wrote on the whiteboard. Any guesses which word it is?
The Plan
Hope you guys are still reading the blog :)
Anyway, regarding the trip to my house after A levels... The dates are temporary set from the 4th of December to 8th of December. Prom is on 12 Dec btw. I have to know how many people are going asap (like... before the end of hols!!) because we have to book early to get cheaper rates. Also, I have to collect S$100 deposit from everyone to book the bus tickets and hotel rooms (it's non-refundable, i hate to say this but my parents will be very pissed if we were to book extra tickets).
So here's the plan.
2nd of December: Board the bus to Kuala Lumpur at 9am at Harbourfront mall. We are taking the Aeroline (https://www.aeroline.com.my/bus_features.html) directly to a hotel in KL, which will take about 4 hours. The bus looks very comfy to me. There are cabin crews serving you in the bus, there's in-bus entertainment system, there's a toilet, a lounge, meals served, etc etc. So we will reach Corus Hotel at around 1pm (https://www.aeroline.com.my/corus_hotel.html). There's this very nice mamak stall which I love (granted my vegetarian taste is not representative for the class) opposite the hotel. The best part is that the hotel is just 5 minutes walk away from the Petronas Twin Towers so you guys can shop, take photos, have fun at the petrosains museum (which is a science centre in the twin towers) read book at kino, etc etc.
3rd of December: I am not very sure about how we are going to get to taiping yet... But here's the brief plan. We will take the LRT (M'sia equivalent to MRT) to the train station and we will board a train to the taiping train station which is near my house. Then my mum will ask several of her friends to pick all of us up to my house. Then we will all have fun at my house for the whole day.
4th of December: Depending on what you all want to do. In the morning we will probably visit the Taiping Lake and have fun at the park. There are boat rides on the lake. After that, I suggest heading to a chalet at the Maxwell Hill and have a barbecue over there. Then we will stay overnight at the hill.
5th of December: Not sure if you guys want to hike down the hill, but we will go back to my house in the morning and head to somewhere else. Either:
a) Cameron Highlands, because it's cool up there and quite relaxing
b) KL to do more shopping
c) Penang, but definitely will add cost
6th of December: Home sweet home
Total estimated cost: S$250
I hope everything does go according to plan. My mum will recee the trip in September. Welcome any suggestions and until then, LET'S ROCK THE A LEVELS!!
A movie that features some of us!
Hey, remember how Yanyu's Eeyore and SMY's Pooh Bear?

LOOK HERE!! Monodeal Tips!!
Bored... Let's compile a Monodeal tips list :P
1. Distribution of cards
2. Some Combos:
a) Force deal and deal breaker: Force deal one of your property with another property to complete opponent's set, then deal break it. Works better with Just Say No.
b) Double Double the Rent!: Yea, you do get 4x rent
c) When playing two rent cards/Happy birthdays, remember to put one by one! You may catch someone without exact change :)
3. Sometimes Just Say No is overrated, especially when you have nothing to protect. It may pay to use Just Say No on rents and clear your hand to draw 5 cards and start afresh.
4. For heavyweight properties like blue/green and yellow/red, don't use the rent cards immediately! It's usually worthwhile to wait for the property to develop and rent more in coming turns.
5. Expansionary fiscal policy is a gamble. Use if you suspect that no one is holding on to rent/birthday cards.
6. The "any rent" cards are quite useless... unless you can build heavyweight properties. Consider putting it as cash.
7. And don't simple cash "colour rent" cards as money just because you do not have the property! The marginal return of these cards are very huge when you do get the indicated properties!
8. Keep your Sly Deal unless you really need it! Karma goes one full round, another person with a Sly Deal may be waiting for you to act out of aggression!
9. There is a Java version of Monodeal for some handphones. Hard core gamers can go google and download.
Do add on to the list :)
1. Distribution of cards
- 39 property cards, including 28 normal property cards, 9 bi-colored property wild cards and 2 multi-colored property wild cards.
- 47 action cards (can use as money cards), including 10 color rent cards, 3 any rent cards, 2 Deal Breakers, 3 Forced Deal cards, 3 Sly Deal cards, 3 Just Say No Cards, 3 Debt Collectors, 3 It's My Birthday cards, 2 Double the Rent cards, 3 houses, 2 hotels and 10 Pass Go cards.
- 20 money cards, including 6 1M cards, 5 2M cards, 3 3M cards, 3 4M cards, 2 5M cards and 1 10M card.

Important!!
Hi all,
I just received an important notice from someone in 7H. I heard that the cohort GP score was rather abysmal and the main reason for that is due to our vocab (not a surprise... remember jingoism?). Hence, the GP department is going to prepare an additional vocab paper for us to do during one of the lessons next week. The result of the test may affect the moderation of our GP scores. I also heard that the test will be based on popular SAT words, so as to prepare those people who are taking the test soon.
Well actually this sounds like a good deal for me... Let's exhibit our 7F mugging spirit and own this test :)
Some links to help you guys...

Oh there are some free iPhone/iPad apps for SAT preparation too, do check it out on iTunes!
OMG WHO ASKED YOU TO HIGHLIGHT THIS!! HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!

Class Journal
Hey!
Since we shall know the fate of our class journal tmr... I shall post an interesting question here.
If Yan Yu is Eeyore and Benny is Tigger, then what character from Winnie the Pooh is Meng Ying and why?
And here's something Eeyore said to cheer you all up.
Eeyore, the old grey Donkey, stood by the side of the stream, and looked at himself in the water.
"Pathetic," he said. "That's what it is. Pathetic."
He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the water again.
"As I thought," he said. "No better from this side. But nobody minds. Nobody cares. Pathetic, that's what it is."
"Pathetic," he said. "That's what it is. Pathetic."
He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the water again.

very familiar isnt it?

Rumah Saya
Yo,
So some intro to my hometown...
Me stay at Taiping, famous for Lake Taiping and Night Safari. It rains 200/365 days there. Population largely made up of retirees.
Here's a map:
Taiping, Perak
My house on gmaps
No worries can fit everyone :)
1) Karaoke, or watch TV
2) Lots of cooking (err... paiseh vegetarian food)
3) Games
4) Some sports (table tennis, badminton)
5) Go Lake Garden
6) Hiking
7) Simple shopping or movies
8) Go Genting or Penang
Transportation wise, train is cheap (bout 25 sgd) but takes a very long time.
Just want to confirm roughly how many people will go and how much are you guys willing to pay. Shall not elaborate too much since we are supposed to mug for blocks prelims and alevels now ><
Cheers,
Shi-Jie
A-Level Timetable
Yo A-Level timetable is out on SEAB: http://www.seab.gov.sg/examTimeTable/2011GCEATimetable.pdf
Physics students end on 29th Nov, Bio students end on 1st Dec
Anyway, my mum actually asked me to ask the class if you all want to come to my house. She even wants to plan to trip for you all lol... So I was wondering if you all want to visit my hometown between end of A-levels and Prom. Sounds cool to me :)
If the response is great then I will tell my parents and we can prepare early. (and get cheaper tickets :P)

Shi-Jie

Another Song!
Heeeello everyone.
This here is a song that won the Grammy's award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) :)
The song is called "Baba Yetu", and the entire song is basically a translation of the "Our Father" prayer into Swahili. Yes. Swahili! Isn't that awesome? hahahaha
Anyway it is also a cool song because it was the theme music for Civilization IV, which is a game, btw.
It was composed by Christopher Tin, and this particular (award-winning) version features the Soweto Gospel Choir.
Jeremy
P.S. Did you know there are 109 Grammy awards? And this was the 86th =P
P.P.S. Are there any juniors out there? Talk to us!! Use the shout out box over there --->
LOL dont emo on Valentine's day laaa.... i thought this would be a more appropriate song!!!!
ENJOY!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA. xD xD xD xD xD
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day 7F!
Dont worry if you didnt get any presents today, someone out there (probably) loves you.
If not you'll have to do with platonic love from me :D
Enjoy!

New song!
Hi,
Due to the blogskin change, I have updated the Mixpod playlist which has been totally neglected by me with a cool song. Its called Fly Me To The Moon.
When you play the song and read the blog and mostly the tagboard, it feels very... soothing?
I dunno but anw I didnt make it autoplay since some people may not like it but IMO IT SHOULD.
Nic Low!
Continued from Mr How's Lecture
Long video (around 25 minutes) but worth watching.

Preparation works!
Very nice banner by mozhi
Fascinated by spring onions

sauce dilution
storing it in the thermal flasks
setting up the stall
enthu waving

1 unique serving of soba since there is absolutely no standardization
getting really messy
resorted to using cups after using up all the bowls
Moree seaweed hoho
$)

Ok a few more naggings before i board my plane...
I have to apologise to several people first. Sorry for those who have brought the thermal flasks and willingly purchase water bottles for me... I left it on the class bench... Instead I prepared the sauce in my rice cooker. Feel really really guilty
And thanks a lot to Mozhi (and for the banner too), Helin, Eka and others to help me carry the ingredients to the school. Thanks to Yan Seng who offered to purchase the ice. Thanks to Yuhe for providing spring onion and other apparatus.
Now the serious stuff...
The sauce I prepared is very very concentrated because the rice cooker cannot contain that much water. You guys may want to try out how much water to add for the ideal taste. The sauce should not taste like soup, instead it should taste rather salty but not too uncomfortable when it is drank. A good test is to dip using chopstick and taste it dropwise.
Also, serving size should be equivalent to that of Sakae Sushi, around the amuont of 2 chopsticks (sorry for the lack of liang4 ci2)
Then, we have to cut the seaweed too. Someone has to bring a pair of kitchen scissors.
Finally my roomate will be passing you all the wasabi, chopsticks and bowls (He is Zhi Tao from choir). He will be at the class bench before flag raising.
I left the boarding school in a hurry to catch my plane... Sorry for all the discrepencies yea ><
Happy Chinese New Year all! Have fun selling the soba!
Cheers,
Shi-Jie

Hi 7F!
Thanks for having the patience to hear my nagging. I am still missing several ingredients and apparatus. The following is a list of things that I still need:
1) Spring onion, stored in a small container (Yuhe provide)
2) cooking scissors
3) 1 big container to store the noodles, like the size of a rice cooker
4) black marker pens (Yan Yu provide)
5) table cloth
6) plastic bottles... I need to store 3600 ml of cold sauce... Need 8-9
(Updated) 7) Ice, need someone to buy from NTUC in the morning. We will put everything in a styrofoam box (I have the box).
Please SMS me if you are able to provide the above stuff. I will need items 2-4 and 6 tomorrow.
Let's make this a success yea! Thanks!

Soba
Quote from one of my guinea pigs, "I feel like drinking the entire cup of sauce!"
Anyway the test run ran well, just that I forgot to put some ingredients here and there. Should work fine for Wednesday.
Here's the cost breakdown:
Soba x 3 = $6.00
Sauce x 4 = $8.00 (Not vegetarian, if Kenneth want I have a separate bottle for vegetarians)
Wasabi x 2 = $4.00
Bowls x 40 = $6.00
Chopsticks x 50 = $1.30
Spring Onion (Someone help me buy?) = $0.75
Seaweed = $2.00
Total cost for 40 bowls: $28.05
Cost per bowl = $0.70
P/S: Yea 40 bowls quite a lot... but I feel super insecure buying 2 packets of soba only...
P/S 2: 1 bowl is about 1/3 of the size shown on the photo.
We are probably going to sell at $1.50 per bowl, depending on the sales on that day you all can slash the price. Everyone must drag your juniors to visit our stall!!
Will brief you guys on the procedure soon on this blog.
Cheers,
Shi-Jie
The video that we need to do our AQs on... for those of you who are lazy to access TED/wikispace... or whatever. xD
Quite an interesting speech actually ><
Jiayou everyone for HBL!
