| Watch Mars! NOT THE CHOCOLATE |
Dear all
Don't miss out this great opportunity.
Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as full moon to the naked eye. This will culminate on Aug 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth. I am not sure if this is true (my friend sent me this email), but be sure to watch the sky on Aug 27 12.30am and you're know. It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The next time Mars comes this close is in 2287.
No one alive today will ever see it again. |

| CT session and phototaking |
Dear 06s6c
The CT session tomorrow is in the auditorium. It is a Council-student dialogue session.
And as for phototaking, please take note that it is on 31 Jul (Mon) 11.10-11.20am. It is either we leave early for phototaking, or we don't go for PE at all. That will be up to our PE rep to decide.

| class meeting aftermath |
to my dearest class
i am heartened to see that all of u gave me ur fullest attention as i was desperately trying to convey my thoughts to all of u. i knew it didn't really come out well, but i just want to clarify: i am not picking on anyone when i debriefed the stall issue, i was just highlighting a problem that we have. xinwei has accurately pointed it out, responsibility. really hope that everyone will think twice before signing up for any roles in future events. i admire your enthusiasm but do try to weigh your priorities and see if u can make time for what u are planning to be in charge of.
as for spending time within the class, i think it all boils down to mentality. class may not be first, but it must NEVER be the last. everyone has their own commitments, but do try to make time, as we try to construct a class that we will be proud of, a class that will shine in athena and the school.
the past few months has seen a lot of ups and downs, laughters and tensions. we can take it in our stride, and reflect upon the problems that arise. i know that everyone knows a little about what is causing these problems, so do think about them, DON'T RUN AWAY FROM THEM. if anyone has any doubts, u can always discuss it with ur closest companions, or even discuss it with any one of us. i am sure we will be able to lend a listening ear and give constructive feedback. like what i mentioned, the class has always been there for me, and it really tears my heart to see it crumbling into shambles.
yes, to end this off, i want to say that: you are doing this not for my agenda, not for my activities. u are doing this for yourself, to encapsulate these two years of memories which u will eternally hold dear to u.
PS: JIAWEI!!! thank you so much!!! and to the class. thanks a lot for cheering me on!!! i love 06s6c!

| I am so happy!!! |
06s6c
at this point of time, i have no idea what else to do in order to get everyone's attention. in fact, just getting anyone to listen to me, is impossible. oxymoron u may call it, facade u may say, i have no idea. today was supposed to be a nice day, which i thought would establish a reason why i even bothered, why i even had hopes. but... somehow, thinking about this just... i think i will just break down anytime soon.
seriously, i think not many people will come to this blog anymore. i am really disappointed in the turnout today. it is not entirely anybody's fault, nor was it not. everyone has a part to play. in actual fact, it was really unfair and tiring to push all the responsibilities on people who put in so much effort for the class. they were always present for the activities and it didn't seem that they were busy. is busy the word? or is it about priority. nvm...
i feel, we are no longer the same. as what many of my friends tell me, the first three months are just a honeymoon period, after that, u can actually see the true colors of the class. is that really the case? i didn't believe it that. i refused, i avoided, i ran away from this statement. i once ridiculed people for telling me that, thinking they were only jealous.
i tried ways and means. i was full of hope, idealistic and ambitious at times. i thought that if i tried hard enough, things will turn out well. i thought that if i avoided the question, and maybe sometimes if i put in just a little more effort to do something, everything will be perfect. i tried to put up with everything, i thought they were just obstacles. however, this is a class, not my personal farm which i can just dictate to my greatest desires. nothing is within my control, and it is really up to every single one of u to really feel that there is a class.
the class. what is a class? a group of people, who only plays and have fun together? i think we have not been really serious about the rift between the class, not that it is the first intaker second intaker problem already. for this, it is entirely my fault. i was never assertive enough, i was never focused. it was little wonder no one took me seriously, and that i was not successful in bonding the class. for that, i really am sorry.
but, i really feel deep down from my heart, that our class shouldn't end up like this. there is always this tension, that exists between everyone. for me, i don't really mind working extra hard, although sometimes my efforts end up in nought. it is ok, because it is the way i work. as long as some stuffs go through, there will always be this motivation. however, the setbacks are greater than the motivations. more often that not, i feel that i am being overly enthusiastic, to a point that it is excessively irritating.
also, to point out, i feel that people in our class are overly committed. not their fault, but i am rather perturbed that our class actually came to this stage. somehow i feel that the class is now a cca, that people are kicked in involuntarily. put in crudely, it is just another TAF club. besides, for people who were thinking that the second intakers might be the ones who were causing the rift, i must say that u are really wrong. in fact, they are the ones who have supported me through, with many other people behind me. in fact, i have sustained until now, because of their support. else, i think i will give up.
another thing that i feel is related to our grandseniors. yes, i met miss neo on the bus yesterday and had a hearty talk with her about our 04 senior class. it was sad that we didn't have our very own senior class, though 05s60 provided us with that necessary love. yes, i was sad. but what really devastates me is that our class is not united, and that i will really be ashamed to face up to our seniors, who were so united. MAF, the major event of the year, are we able to turn up and sweat it all out as a class? do we cherish each other's existence?
in any case, i don't know what everyone wants. it is ok to be laden with commitments, it is ok to be busy, but does it really take up your life? our class has proven itself to be united once, so why can't everyone just open up their hearts? what is the thing that is hindering you? what is it that makes you so reluctant to feel and breathe as a class, just as we did before? i really hope i get some answers.
i don't want to be alone. in fact, another reason that made me always pick up from where i fell countless times, was my cousin. being an ex-hwachongian, she was able to have fun, and actually bond with her class. to her, achievements were important, but they were not everything. what mattered was the friendship that is tightly bonding everyone together. 6 years after graduation, she is still extremely close to her classmates, as though it was still after school after the first three months. i looked up to her as my model, i looked up to her life, i envied her. perhaps i am not fated to have this life.
i have no idea. i sincerely hope that everyone will just give it a thought. i hope we really get a time when we can just sit down and talk together as a class, not just having other commitments clouding our senses. ultimately, it is still up to you what is going to happen to 06s6c.

| Anatomy Class |
Sixth grade science teacher Mr. Sampson asks his class; "Who can tell
me which organ of the human body expands to 10
times its usual size when stimulated?"
Nobody raises a hand, so he calls on the first student to look his
way. "Mary, can you tell me?" Mary stands up, blushing furiously.
"Sir, how dare you ask me such a question?" she says. "I'm going to
complain to my parents, who will complain to the
principal, who will have you fired."
Mr. Sampson is shocked by Mary's reaction, but undaunted, he asks the
class the question again. This time Sam raises his hand.
"Yes, Sam," says Mr. Sampson.
"Sir, the correct answer is the iris of the human eye."
"Very good, Sam. Thank you." Mr. Sampson then turns to Mary and says,
"Mary, I have 3 things to say to you. First, it's clear that you have
not done your homework. Second, you have a dirty mind. And third, one
day you are going to be sadly disappointed." |

| Postponement |
I am afraid I have brought back some bad news regarding the highly anticipated Racial Harmony Day Street Market.
It will be postponed to Friday afternoon.
But on Wednesday, there will still be performances, so you will only be dismissed at 1:30PM promptly.
After which, you have an option to go for Track and Field Finals or Judo Finals to cheer on the athletes.
Or go for your ever-boring CCA doing mundane, routine tasks/practice.
Or go back home and mug your beloved Chemsitry or Mathematics TYS, doing mundane, routine past-year examination questions to further hone your skills as an amateur chemist or mathematician.
You can choose to detach yourself from all the excitement and anxiety and adrenaline rush or embrace all of them to find value in your presence in the school. |

| Laksa |
I just found my new ambition.
I want to replace R&B Food Hut in Hwa Chong's canteen and sell laksa.
Better laksa than the current R&B Food Hut.
It's gonna be 10000000000000000 times better.
I had a wonderful time preparing laksa for guests during College Day.
Grab some rice noodles. Add in a slice of a hard-boiled egg. Add in two if I grabbed too little noodles. Then add in some bean sprouts. And top it off with a few slices of fish cake. Pass the bowl of ingredients to my partner who would then scope some gravy from a pot and pour them into the bowl to make laksa.
Repeat the process.
Repeat it for n times for 1 1/2 hours.
You'd get satisfaction and enjoyment instead of boredom and mundane existence.
Especially so if you are pissed with standing spastically in the two-line formation that begins from where the guest-of-honour's car would be and leads all the way into the auditorium.
Spastic request from our beloved principal.
And copying Kia Hui's differentiation notes didnt help much either. It's the topic that sucks, by the way, not the person or her notes.
Luckily I can always count upon preparing and serving the guests laksa. It's something I can embrace when I am feeling moody and extremely irritated.
Never mind about the large volume of sweat that I perspired all of a sudden, probably due to the adrenaline rush as there was a long line of guests forming and yet I could only complete one bowl of laksa every 20 to 30 seconds, preparing laksa is still fun.
Your sudden release of large volume of sweat only makes your job more challenging as you are constantly trying to figure how to prepare laksa while avoiding your sweat to drip onto the ingredients or into the bowl at the same time.
And you still have to withstand the stinging sensation should the sweat cheekily decides to trickle into your eye.
It's just pure fun and satisfaction. Now I feel like I am ready to open a laksa stall.
Many thanks to Shuo Nan who was my beloved partner who poured in the gravy into each bowl of laksa ingredients I had prepared. Not forgetting Heng Jie who "ran" the stall with me.
And we decided to name the stall "Heng & Heng Laksa".
Cool, huh? |

| Entry Proof |
Dear all, regarding the Entry Proof that I have distributed today, please take note of the following:
- The Entry Proof is an important document and a candidate is required to produce the document each time he/she appears for an examination (namely the PW Oral Presentation)
- Candidates are required to bring along their NRIC or any valid documents bearing their identification number (e.g. Passport, Student Pass, etc) as printed on the Entry Proof for the examinations
- Please check if there is any clash of date and time between papers
- Please make a duplicate copy of your Entry Proof and put them in several different areas (e.g. in between pages of books or in your wallet) in case you lose it.
- If you wish to drop a subject/S Paper, you should not be present for any of the papers so that there will be no record of them taking the subject on their A-Level certificate.

| Heart Attack Self-help |
Subject: HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE
EVERYONE MUST KNOW THIS
Let's say it's 6.15p m and you're going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job.You're really tired, upset and frustrated.
Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to adiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE
Since many people are alone when they suffer a hear attack, without help,the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However,these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!
Spread this message around to save lives!
May you be blessed with joy, peace, laughter, love, harmony, affluence and wisdom. |
