Dancing shoes...

During the course of our studies, we often have to make use of multimedia for that added BANG.

Courtesy of Jian ping, Fred and You ren, here we share one fine example of an advertisement you'll probably never see on TV.

Maybe it'll make the cut for top ten original ideas.
So sit back, relax and get ready for a belly full of laughs... hahahaha

Excuse me, are you studying for quiz?

A student's life is often peppered with unavoidable occurances. One of which is a mildly dreaded quiz. The simple 4 letter word strikes fear into the hearts of even the most hardworking mugger and hardcore slacker alike.
Here are some events that follow quiz week...

1. Supper

The law of studying states that
no food = cannot think.
But beware, for the converse is also true that with too much food, brain cannot function.
Food >>> Studying, Brain => Sleep, Food => Fat

2. KPKB (cry father cry mother)

Studying takes a toll on us all, no matter of you get A or F, the process of studying is often not enjoyable which in turn raises our mental stress meter. How to relief stress? Complain lor.. Complain this, complain that.. suddenly as your fellow mates alike share the same sentiments, the overall effects of stress seem to lessen.
Study = Effort + Stress, (-1)Stress = Complain ^n (n = no. of complain king/queens)

3. Studying efficiency

As the quiz date draws nearer, we somehow also experience an exponential increase in mental capacity. Things that we could not comprehend just hours ago start to make sense. (could also be due to hallucination). While panic and excitement sets in, adrenaline will give you the added boost to heighten our sensory capabilities.
Mental capacity = K exp ^ n (K = original capacity, n =no. days since started studying)

So stock up on your Ginko biloba and omega 3, and have fun studying for your quizzes. Remember, a quiz can be an enjoyable experience.. only if you get an A. ;o)

Count thy blessings..

International Cultural Night 50 style

The original dinner plans of Sio Liwei Jianping and Jasen were abandoned when they found out that NIE is hosting an event remembered for the free flow of tiger beer and buffet dinner rather than its name.

In the end we went down on the lorry with Daqing only to be denied entry into the venue because of improper dress code (most probably by Jasen). However this does not deter the spirit of fostering international cultural exchange within our block 50 gang, so we decided to have one of our own outside the actual venue.

4 different style of international buffets.

NOT forgetting the free flow of beer!!!!


After collecting our own door gifts, we were driven off to city harvest extension.

Whizzzed off to city harvest for dinner after a short night of international friendship. International buffet cant beat local delights like hokkien mee and fried kway tieow.

FICO aftermath..

After enjoying a night of misty football at FICO, the 3 of us decided to walk back to block 50.


We can't even see the road infront of us.....

The front man clears the spiderweb...

Finally see some light..

IN the end, walking back is as tiring as play soccer for the whole night.

The Emo KKJ

Looking at the video that James posted last night, I can't help but to feel a dash of sadness falling upon me... everything has been moving so quickly, like a blink of an eye, or like how fast I can finish my 10 races in Petrolhead before staring at my screen for another 12 hours, a lot of us are graduating soon! There are so many things that I wish I had done, like spending more time with my blockmates... it seems like right now time is against me... so Blk 50ers, treasure your time here, because before you know it, time will catch up with you and you will be lamenting about how little time you actually have!

Anyway just to be shameless to promote my band, we are playing at various places soon!
8th March, 3pm - NTU Open House 2008
19th March, 7pm - Rock Your World (Speak Good English Movement), Timbre
21st March, 9.30pm - Rock'It! 2008 Post Celebration, Home Club
Late May and June - Various events under the Singapore Arts Festival, venues like Raffles City & Timbre

Do come and show some love if you are around the area! Anyway for the Home Club gig on the 21st this month, I would have some invites to give away so do let me know if you want! While stocks last!

A star is born..

Amongst us, we sometimes find a crooner.
These talents have served to entertain us during hall events and such.
Here's a little clip of one such "old" crooner.
Enjoy..

Hall awards 2008

Hall awards marks the start of the end.
All too soon, we'll panic and scream as exams draw near.
After that, we'll bid farewell to some older birds who are leaving our cosy nest.

To our younger brothers and sisters, may you have as wonderful a time as we did.
Here's a little legacy of what we achieved this past year.

43-year-old man shot by police at Outram Park MRTPosted: 06 March 2008 1655 hrs

43-year-old man shot dead by police at Outram Park MRT

SINGAPORE : A 43-year-old man was shot by Police at Outram Park MRT Station on Thursday afternoon. The incident happened on the boarding platform for West-bound trains at Outram Park station just before 4pm. Police say the man was involved in a stabbing incident earlier at nearby Jalan Kukoh, where another man was killed. Paul Nicholas Chong, Eyewitness, said: "We were waiting when suddenly we heard a gunshot. Everybody was frantic and running around. We ran behind the wall and hid for about 5 to 10 seconds. When everything settled down, we went out to take a look. The person was holding his chest, he went "Ahhhh", and then he fell down very loudly." Police say the dead man matched the description of a suspect involved in a stabbing incident at nearby Jalan Kukoh. But when officers approached him at the MRT station, he retaliated with a knife. Eyewitnesses say the knife was about 15 centimetres long. That was when one officer fired his revolver at the man, who died on the spot. No one else was injured. Commander of the Central Police Division, Superintendent Lau Peet Meng said, "The armed and dangerous suspect approached my officers in a threatening manner at close proximity. In the circumstances, considering that he was suspected to have just killed another man, the officer had no choice but to open fire." Train services were not disrupted but officers cordoned off the mid-section of the station and blocked off about four doors to the trains for about two hours. Earlier, officers were alerted to another dead man at a hawker centre at Block 1 Jalan Kukoh. A man in his fifties was stabbed in the stomach just before 3pm. He is believed to have been knifed by the man who was shot at Outram Park MRT Station. The Police cordon at the station was lifted some two hours after the shooting. Several members of the public had called the Channel NewsAsia hotline to ask if there was any connection with the search for Jemaah Islamiyah fugitive Mas Selamat Kastari. But Police clarified that the murder and shooting was in no way related to the search

This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK).If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises. Take two good friends to the nearest grocery store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER).

Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

Lost in Translation

I have been waking up everymorning at 10 just to make sure that I do not miss any call from companies that I apply job to. At least when I answer the call, I wont sound sleepy and retarded. So for the past 1 week, I have not received any call. Then this morning, I overslept and kept dreaming that today is sunday.

Suddenly, my phone rang ( my ringtone is the high pitch voice of a rooster , very irritating )... super kanchiong , somemore it was private number .... i thought "wah siao liao just wake up"

Chinese Caller : ###$$%@#&*())!!()&~&_+!!!!!!! ( translate to english : Good Morning , may i know if you speak chinese?).

Sleepy Freddie : Sorry , could you speak English ? I dont understand you.

Chinese Caller : Hi , do you speak chinese ?

Sleepy Freddie : No.

Chinese Caller : #### %%$# !!!!! ( translate to english : Sorry , bye bye ).

Confused Freddie : ?????
