chinese high guys, if you take a moment to think for a few seconds, you will realise who the_college_principal actually is. for the girls, he's not a loanshark or a fishmonger ... but i had no idea, actually, why some ppl in class complained about his administration when he was still onboard. when i clicked on that link, however, i realised why.
look at all the funky abbreviations for the numerous policies implemented. it was enough to gather these from the article, so i stopped probing on. maybe that's why the students didn't understand explicitly what HIT and MISS apparently meant at first glance. they could have mistaken them for some funky abbreviations.
and by the way, i verified the school 'motto' under the school song. i really have no idea what it is, but it seems to be infused into the haemoglobin of every glycolysis-respiring jj-er.

# lame maths question-
JJC prelim 2005 maths paper 2
30a)(part)
In an artillery firing, hitting a target is known as a "hit" and missing a target is known as a "miss". The probability that the first round hit a target is 0.6
Do they think we are idiots? this is so condescending...

# metros are going downhill!-
Metrosexual man bows to red-blooded ubersexuals
Paul Harris in New York Sunday October 23, 2005 The Observer
It's good news for traditional American men. The metrosexual is dead: long live the ubersexual.
After dominating US style and fashion for several years, the ideal of the modern male as someone who cared about fashion and skin care as much as a woman did is about to be swept aside by a return to old-fashioned, masculine values: fine wines, cigars and red-blooded heterosexuality.
'Ubersexuals are confident, masculine and stylish, and committed to uncompromising quality in all areas of life,' said Marian Salzman, co-author of a new book, The Future of Men
Salzman, a vice-president of the global advertising firm JWT, is the trend-spotter who first promoted the rise of the metrosexual, a term lauded and derided in equal measure, as it described a new sort of man who aped women's tastes.
Now, however, maleness has hit back, she says. While metrosexuals were obsessed with self-image and lifestyle, the ubersexual is politically aware and passionate about real world causes. The metrosexual has women who are his best friends, while the ubersexual respects women but retains men as his closest confidants. The metrosexual grooms his hair: the ubersexual grooms his mind. The metrosexual reads Vogue and Cosmo, the ubersexual the Economist and the New Yorker.
Celebrity metrosexuals include Jude Law, Orlando Bloom and David Beckham, whose good looks can be seen as slightly womanly.
Their ubersexual counterparts include George Clooney, Donald Trump, Pierce Brosnan and Bill Clinton, who are fashionable and wear tasteful clothes, but are unashamedly masculine, not least in their often complicated and very heterosexual lifestyles. Salzman's book proclaims the world's leading ubersexual as the rock star and anti-poverty campaigner Bono.
But all this is unlikely to provide much comfort for the ordinary man, who is now being told to dump his feminine side and try to become an alpha male.
'Ubersexuals are the most attractive and compelling men of their generations. They are confident, masculine and stylish,' she said.
Even so, any men hoping that drinking beer and watching football on TV will be back in vogue have had their ambitions dashed.
The Future of Men warns that being an ubersexual is not a licence for bad behaviour. 'Ubersexuals do not give into the stereotypes that give guys a bad name, such as disrespect towards women, emotional emptiness, ignorance of anything outside sports, beer and burgers,' said Salzman.
Ubersexuality has caused a stir in areas of American cultural life not normally bothered by fashion trends. Rush Limbaugh, the notorious 'shock jock', recently mused that ubersexuals sounded rather like him. 'This is what men were before feminism came and neutered them,' he thundered.
Salzman probably did not have Limbaugh in mind. But some female commentators - and probably many other women - are celebrating the passing of the metrosexual. 'What woman wants to compete with a man for mirror time?' asked Jenice Armstrong, a columnist on the Philadelphia Daily News .

# the magical room-
this is what happens... at 8pm in the reading room. when you have been cooped up in here for the past 10 hours, breathing other muggers' recycled air, and hardly any oxygen is reaching your poor addled brain. you thank god for small mercies, and the smallest prospect of CHOCOLATE inspires rapture and some extent of savagery.
GIVE ME THE TIM TAM! I MUST HAVE IT, I MUST!

# something that may have relevance to some-
hey, i decided 2 post this email by liyu.. if juz to push the posts down.. well at least this is meaningful..
NOTE: This mail was from liyu but this post is NOT by liyu.
It is my pleasure to highlight a challenging and interesting overseas humanitarian relief effort organised by Youth Challenge, an United Nations affiliated agency based in Singapore.
I was fortunate to chance upon their website last year and have taken part in many of their programmes of which I found an overseas humanitarian relief program to Vientiane, Laos, by far the most enriching one that served as an eye-opener to UN relief efforts.
In addition, I am also fortunate to be blessed with the opportunity to join a humanitarian relief effort to Zimbabwe, Africa, next year. During the interview for selection earlier this year, I realised that most applicants were from RJC and it seemed that HC students were not well-informed about such an excellent opportunity.
I have brought this matter to the attention of the organisation’s head and he has agreed to hold a discussion specially for HC students who are interested to participate in yet another humanitarian relief effort to Central Asia countries like Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, next year.
It is thus pertinent that if you always had the interest to participate in a UN humanitarian relief effort, don’t let this opportunity slip by. I am sure such a rare opportunity is hard to come by. In addition, I am sure this will help to enhance your CV.
For those of you who are interested to find out more about this opportunity, the 2 hour discussion session will be held next week, Tuesday, 18th October 2006, at YC’s secretariat located near Raffles Place MRT station.
Please message me at 98559938 as soon as possible to make arrangements to meet me at Raffles Place control station at 2.00 p.m. I look forward to hearing from you.
