emo

I'm very sure, this never happened to me before
I met you and now I'm sure
This never happened before

Now I see, this is the way it's supposed to be
I met you and now I see
This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be, for lovers
They shouldn't go it alone
It's not so good when you are on your own

So come to me, now we can be what we want to be
I love you and now I see
This is the way it should be

~thought that the lyrics is damn nice and emo.

sau: my first!

ta-da! the rule-breaking councilor is here! [dats only if u say so cuz i totally DO NOT agree!] hmph! haha anyway! i am..

You Are 79% Feminine, 21% Masculine

You are in touch with your feminine side. Sensitive, intuitive, and caring are all words that describe you. And you're just masculine enough to relate to both men and women.

and..

Your Brain is 67% Female, 33% Male

Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

anw for my first post here. i think i just wanna thank everyone in class for not giving up on me tho i hafta admit i gave up on a nice funky class at the start of the yr. din really love our class but i DO now! really! cun haf asked for a more retarded/fun/happening/silly/slacker/blahblahanything class! hahah:D plus a bomb civics tutor! well. we've really been thru a lot since the beginning of the yr huh.. from a class w icy cold stares i think we've more or less come thus far into quite a cohesive class:D yayness:D ok i love my class now. ssssh, dont tell anyone but i love u guys more than council ok! yay!

Miao: of CGs and personality tests

thanks, jerry, i've confirmed once again that i should have been born as a guy. -.-

You Are 26% Feminine, 74% Masculine

You are in touch with your masculine side.You are not overly sensitive and not easily moved.Occasionally, though, something will get through and touch your heart!

a rather cool quiz, can you guess which one of the following are CGs? computer generated pictures, meaning NOT REAL PEOPLE:





answer: [please highlight]

all sixe are CGs. trick question. LOL. but really amazing how they look so real.

speaking of alarm clocks, joel, if you ever need one, try this one:



cool, huh? you can wake up to jay's voice EVERY single day and i bet you won't be late anymore. hehe.

so5b at 4:09 PM

Sunday, October 22, 2006

jerryca: uh oh

Your Brain is 40% Female, 60% Male

You have a total boy brain Logical and detailed, you tend to look at the facts And while your emotions do sway you sometimes... You never like to get feelings too involved

You Are 48% Feminine, 52% Masculine

You are in touch with both your feminine and masculine sides.You're sensitive at the right times, but you don't let your emotions overwhelm you.You're not a eunuch, just the best of both genders.

DD: physicsally torturing

this i mus blog abt

there goes our days when we get to sit at far corners, sleep against the comforting vandalized wall
when james and a NON-perverted religious muslim will fight for that lovely seat. the seat of dreams
when the yaoi fans get to jus chat and chat throughout the entire lectures
when the aunties get to chat even more and disturb Moogles (their cats in final fantasies and they Miao..wow they both start wif M..maybe its the M word our dear FT was toking abt)
when we can jus DOZE OFF and the teachers wun care!

and now we haf to withstand the strenuous stares of straddling stalkers staring at us startled slackers

shit la dun wan to sit RIGHT in front of the rafflesian spirit and many more
ok guys thats it
WE WILL PWN PHYSICS Next yr's CT1 which is rite after march hols
then we can rightfully take back the BACK seats which is rightfully ours and OURS alone!

this will be the driving force that will destroy our slow momentum for physics. ok can?
...pls..
none of uall wan to sit in front rite....rite? rite?

sheesh..but todae's physics lesson was argh...boring and frkin sian..apart from that stationary wave thingy..Magic

miao: of iPods and SHINE

just had to make this post, after reading some stuff

1) 5.5 GB iPods infected with viruses
if you're thinking of getting the latest 5.5GB iPods, think again. or if you have just bought one recently, (don't think it came to Singapore yet), go have it checked.

apparently, some of the 5.5GB iPods, made after Sept 12th, have the RavMonE.exe virus, which propagates via mass storage devices, and purportedly had infected a PC at the manufacturer where the iPods were produced.

and Apple and Windows are blaming each other for the blardy virus. like wtf, go do something better, like FIX the blardy problem FIRST, then pinpoint the fault -.-"
stupid big companies.

ya, so before you buy, please think carefully, or stick to the original iPods.

2) LG's SHINE
following LG's FANTASTIC chocolate series handphones, along comes, Shine!
also known as model no.s,SV420/LV4200/KV4200!
1) 13mm thin, like measure that with your ruler and see how blardy thin that is. 1.3 cm -.- like ZOMG.
2) it's a slider phone, and aluminium in color. 2 megapixel cam with flash.
3) media player for 1 GB of MP3s, more if you have less pics or delete the original pics.
4) 2.2 inch display [ZOMG. that's blardy BIG]. acts like a mirror when off, PERFECT for those who needs a mirror EVERY NOW AND THEN. *hints hints* the guy who always touches his fringe or some part of his hair in class.

time for some pics. personally, i think if it was black in color, will be so much nicer. black's a nice color.

so5b at 10:33 PM

Miao: BLARDY HAZE & DN

wah piangs. pissed off man.
hate the blardy haze lah. supposed to have friendly match, then cancelled.
NEVER MIND.
THEN they don't allow us to play ball oustide. LIKE !$#@%$#%$#%#
in the end, instead of positioning, they played games to "bond", like ok.... -.-"
playec cluedo and taboo.
and debbie chong is useless and hilarious in taboo. -.-"

ok enough of ranting. start packing bag.

gil, i hate you. yes i hate you. you better remb that.
and i left your water bottle in the canteen. oops. >_<"
not delibrately one. T.T just that i really forgot. gomen. [does that help?]

and 12 books is long?!
then wth is one piece, which is soon going to its 48th book (i think)?! almost 50 liao -.- that is god. and i read finish everything in 24 hours, yes w/0 sleep. broke record sia. one piece rawks, those people who have time, go read it. it's like the best manga EVER. it didn't remain as the most popular manga in japan for 5 years (or more) for nothing.

and yes DN rawks. i'm awaiting how the anime goes. especially when it reaches the middle of the series and end of the series. maybe the art will go REALLY bad, like the china people put it "人物走形" i hate that. and sunrise does that ALL the time. to my GSD. to my mai hime and otome(yes, gl animes, but don't really care. quite nice what -.- ). and a lot more. zegapain also. damn them.

and the movie. -.-" i only have qualms about raito's WAY-TOO-BABY-FACE-FOR-A-24-YEAR-OLD. and he looks screwed, left right centre up down, when he frowns or attempts to look serious. -.- i hate him from the kindachi movie he starred in as one of the main char. -.-" so gil, stop posting up his screwed up faces -.- he looks good ONLY and ONLY in battle royale. his face is screwed, but i guess his acting is ok -.-

NANA is erm. you watch it for 中岛美嘉 sia. -.- that's like the only reason why i watched it. cos her voice is godly. -.- but if NANA 2 doesn't have her, then forget it lah -.- haven gotten to read the manga yet though. will start this week end.

sequel of DN comes out on 28th Oct in HK for world premiere. lucky them. and lucky my HK friend, she had been boasting to me for the past week already -.-

if DN part 1 came out in Japan in June, then in Mid Oct in SG
then DN part 2 comes out in Japan/HK in Late Oct, WHEN THE HELL WILL IT COME TO SG?!
my guess: 4 months later. OTL. so MARCH?! OMFS [oh my f-ing shit]
ggxx. that time we'll be mugging for CT 1.

yes, tmr i'll post useful things about computers. -.-"
and some nice looking guns too. :> [copy mr kok one.]

Panasonic says that its 100GB Blu-ray discs will last a century

like. ZOMG. i can practically record all the stupid things the class and I did. and let my descendents (if i have any, cos i'm not planning to have children -.-)watch it like 100 years down the road. -.- like wow.

MY FOOT LAH! by then, i think technology has advanced so much that blu-ray discs have become so antique that no devices can play it anymore. -.- so what's the point. stupid panasonic.

and mr kok: the taiwan video damn vulgar lah -.- i tried not to laugh, but cannot make it, but also didn't laugh too much lah. the jap one not as funny -.- cos english is really not that funny. and the jap guy is just an idiot. -.-

miao~

MORE DEATH NOTE.

A follow up to Gillian's post, since we watched the movie together.

This review is mostly spoiler free.

---

L takes the cake, literally or not.

L was really cute. Well, not cute!cute, but weird!cute. They kept all of his quirks in the manga - the toothache-inducing dieting habits, that hunched posture and the general anti-socialness were a delight to watch. Had Raito known his real name in the manga, he could easily have made L die of diabetes and NO ONE would have suspected a thing. Seriously. All I can say is, Matsuyama Kenichi makes a much better L than a Shin (in NANA) - it's the hair, I'm telling you. I need animated L icons now. X_x

Movie!Watari really looks... Watari. XD The actor should win an award for being the closest replica of his character in the manga.

Movie!Raito had not enough personality - not bored enough, not genius enough, not evil enough - too normal. Being the Raito fan I am, it was disappointing. What happened to the megalomania, the 'I-am-god-I-am-justice-and-I-pwn-j00'? He still bags that Oscar award for being a highly convincing actor, though. They downplayed his genius by excluding a lot of the details originally in the manga which truly showcased his great scheming abilities, so basically movie!Raito morphed from manipulative bastard to normal-and-somewhat-emo person who probably contributed to deforestation by wasting a lot of pages of the Death Note (he wasted one entire page writing a single name). Ouch. Fujiwara Tatsuya (the same guy in Battle Royale) is so unRaito, but at least he can act, so that saves us the pain of bad acting (again, think NANA).

I still do not really see the point in introducing a completely new character. What was Shiori (Raito's girlfriend, in case you have a tendency to forget her existence, like me) supposed to show, honestly? That Raito wasn't completely gay? Well, if that was the case it certainly backfired. Her appearance screwed up the entire timeline and as far as I could see it, apart from taking over Takada's role to aid Raito to kill the FBI agents she was pretty much extra.

Overall, the movie was okay as a standalone, though the action was not on par with the original manga until the last two deaths. The rest of the scheming was much less complex, less intelligent - why? Because they did not follow the manga. So yes, like mentioned in the previous post, READ THE MANGA kthxbai.

That said, I can't wait for the sequel in November. The low point in this movie was the lack of L-Raito interaction, save the ending, which was zomgexciting!11!!11! I hope the next part screws with my brain more, because that's what Death Note really is - brain candy.

Quotes during the Movie

[L eats sweet stuff]
Random Woman in Cinema: Wow, won't he get fat?

[Misora Naomi asks Shiori out]
Me: This is the last of the Mary Sues. 8D

Ryuk: [to Raito] Omae wa yappari akuma da na. (You're indeed a monster.)
Me: [to Raito] Omae wa yappari gay da na. (You're indeed very gay.)


Er okay I'm done ranting. Go watch the movie! And read the manga too, while you're at it. XD

so5b at 9:42 PM

Death Note

Why you should read the Death Note manga:

1) More detailed and explains more stuff than the movie

2) Movie is quite different from manga. Raito (Light) has better characterisation in the manga and is more intelligent XD

3) Raye (the fbi) part was VERY different. His fiancee plays a VERY different role in the manga

4) Light looks 95843 times better in the manga

In the movie:


In the manga:



evil!!


I don't know how do these 2 people look alike..


So everyone should go read the manga instead! Go here and register an account. The download links will appear after that. It is all in English and has ended at 12 books, so you don't have to wait for the next movie to come out to know what happened. Quite long but everyone should be damn free now right

http://mangadownload.net/manga.php?a=series&sid=1

I have the actual manga too, but it's in Chinese so James can't read..

Mazzz: today was lovely dun u think

yes as u can see boon posing up there. our empire state building.

well it was fun. UNTIL, some guy playing with his rugby ball, threw it in our direction. there was a cup of tehpeng beside the stack, and the ball flew straight towards the cup, in the direction of pingni!!!. splash it goes all over her. awww pooor thing la. how unfortunate of her to be in the line of fire. got to praise her for being a sport n not like jump up in madness like certain other ppl wud. well, the incident spoilt our mood to play, to be nice, we felt utterly horrible for pingni kay. so we waited for her to change.

out of a sudden, the sky turned dark and the sun turned blue.......

The Return of the Bim-ni ....

The Ultimate Battle...

BIM-NI vs MUDDY the man, ROUND 1 (left hand)

winner: bim...haiya, we got cheated.

maybe not.....

BIM-NI vs MUDDY the man, ROUND 2 (right hand)

winner: bim again.... must be because of the the table.

(haha just jkg)

"muddy, what to you have to say about the end result?"

"(in a very very low voice) i'll be back..." (in the terminator sort of tone)

n then, bim-ni wanted to 'challenge the process'. she advanced through the qualifying stages and faced the likes of the nooboon, and seetoh the ct rep. arm to arm, squirming, grunting, gritting, pulling, but to no avail. manchester united was kicked out of the knockout stages of the champions league again. hai.

Despite the loss, bim-ni was already on her way to thinking about the next match, watching the video of herself arm wrestling over and over and over again, spotting the flaws in her form and technique, searching how to improve herself, to attain, the way of the bim. (practically, just staring at how well she looks in the video dats all. she just damn vain la but i made the story nice rite?=P)

n dat was dat. card games again, heart attack. den played bluff, n bluff n bluff. sumbodi, with the name starting with M was new to da game, but won the 1st time. hee. cool rite. den, aft dat, aiya dusnt matter. =P

ppl started dispersing, kangwei came in. he won the game 3 times in a row. must be sumthing to do with his sultry look. tsk tsk. we'll find out one day.

den, everyone had to siam.

lovely day...

Speaking of SF/MK

If you can do Flash like this...

http://uploads.ungrounded.net/276000/276650_MKvsSF2.swf

The story behind the characters vary depending on which version of the comic you read anyway. Oh and I never did say that Ryu went to school, only that he was a pre-school drop-out. Maybe he dropped out of his cot when he was young. Of course you could argue that if he never went to school, that shouldn't be considered a pre-school event, to which I'd ask if a tree falls in the forest when nobody's around, does it still make a noise? Will Schrodinger's cat live?

For something more serious, I've had a look at everyone's results for all subjects so far and it looks pretty alright. If you've met your targeted results, then be contented and not envy others or it will never end and you'll end up in IMH one fine day worrying about stuff like that. If you haven't, then you may want to think about what went wrong. Unrealistic expectations? Unsuitable studying strategy? Mental block during the papers? Doing silly things like sleeping at 3am just before a paper? Act on it. If you didn't have targets to reach in the first place... well if it works for you, that's fine too. Not everyone is driven by such stuff but if things aren't working out, it's worth trying out.

Signing off and back to Vectorzzz.

Miao : 10 tips to make your com faster.

somebody sponsor this for me!!!! T.T

LG GSA-4167B Dual Layer 16x16x6x - $91

ok if the whole class donates $2 each, i'll get like around $50+, which is 55+% of $91. that would be sufficient. i need a DVD writer to burn all my animes and dramas and mangas and music more economically. yes.

black is sleek and fits my com's casing. whoohoo~

my promos. i guess i'm happy with my humans subjects, but not with my sciences. like wtf is wrong with my sciences. i think i need more practice. oh well.

to mr kok: no, ryu DID not drop out of pre school. he didn't even attend school. -.-" same goes for ken as well. both of them trained with gouken. guess you get like damn a lot of knowledge, hidden in the moutains, learning martial arts from one bomb guy. like he speaks english, probably learnt it from ken -.-" but he is quite smart ok! my fav fighting character. -.-" the only people who actually graudated from unis, i think are chun li [she's a blardy Interpol agent!], guile, cammie [i think]. yep. still got some more, but can't remember. -.-" so old liao -.- played it while i was in primary school.

king of fighters [YAY! YAGAMI!] and mortal combat [SUB-ZERO! SCROPION! SONYA!] are much better fighting games, IMO. -.-" KOF rocks my controller!!!

ok back to what i was supposed to blog about. thought i'll give like 10 out of the 100 tips to make your computer run faster. i mean i can't be blogging about animes -.- cos nobody will be interested. and i think computer tips are better. since i think some of you might actually try it out -.-"

except for death note, and yes gillian, you'll be surprised at the no. and identity of the people who are interested in DN in our class -.-. like hello joel and DN doesn't link. but apparently they do. -.-" [he supports L, i think, based on his MSN display pic.]

10 ways t speed up Windows XP:

1. Disable Indexing Services

Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you don’t search your computer often, or even if you do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following:

Go to Start
Click Settings
Click Control Panel
Double-click Add/Remove Programs
Click the Add/Remove Window Components
Uncheck the Indexing services
Click Next

2. Optimise Display Settings

Windows XP can look sexy but displaying all the visual items can waste system resources. To optimise:

Go to Start
Click Settings
Click Control Panel
Click System
Click Advanced tab
In the Performance tab click Settings
Leave only the following ticked:
Show shadows under menus
Show shadows under mouse pointer
Show translucent selection rectangle
Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop
Use visual styles on windows and buttons

3. Speedup Folder Browsing

You may have noticed that everytime you open my computer to browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers everytime you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing significantly:

Open My Computer
Click on Tools menu
Click on Folder Options
Click on the View tab.
Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box
Click Apply
Click Ok
Reboot your computer

4. Disable Performance Counters

Windows XP has a performance monitor utility which monitors several areas of your PC’s performance. These utilities take up system resources so disabling is a good idea.
To disable:
download and install the Extensible Performance Counter List
Then select each counter in turn in the ‘Extensible performance counters’ window and clear the ‘performance counters enabled’ checkbox at the bottom.button below

5. Improve Memory Usage

Cacheman Improves the performance of your computer by optimizing the disk cache, memory and a number of other settings.
Once Installed:
Go to Show Wizard and select All
Run all the wizards by selecting Next or Finished until you are back to the main menu. Use the defaults unless you know exactly what you are doing
Exit and Save Cacheman
Restart Windows

6. Optimise your internet connection

There are lots of ways to do this but by far the easiest is to run TCP/IP Optimizer.
Download and install
Click the General Settings tab and select your Connection Speed (Kbps)
Click Network Adapter and choose the interface you use to connect to the Internet
Check Optimal Settings then Apply
Reboot

7. Optimise Your Pagefile

If you give your pagefile a fixed size it saves the operating system from needing to resize the page file.
Right click on My Computer and select Properties
Select the Advanced tab
Under Performance choose the Settings button
Select the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory select Change
Highlight the drive containing your page file and make the initial Size of the file the same as the Maximum Size of the file.
Windows XP sizes the page file to about 1.5X the amount of actual physical memory by default. While this is good for systems with smaller amounts of memory (under 512MB) it is unlikely that a typical XP desktop system will ever need 1.5 X 512MB or more of virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size.

8. Run BootVis - Improve Boot Times

BootVis will significantly improve boot times
Download and Run
Select Trace
Select Next Boot and Driver Trace
A Trace Repetitions screen will appear, select Ok and Reboot
Upon reboot, BootVis will automatically start, analyze and log your system’s boot process. When it’s done, in the menu go to Trace and select Optimize System
Reboot.
When your machine has rebooted wait until you see the Optimizing System box appear. Be patient and wait for the process to complete

9. Remove the Desktop Picture

Your desktop background consumes a fair amount of memory and can slow the loading time of your system. Removing it will improve performance.
Right click on Desktop and select Properties
Select the Desktop tab
In the Background window select None
Click Ok

10. Remove Fonts for Speed

Fonts, especially TrueType fonts, use quite a bit of system resources. For optimal performance, trim your fonts downto just those that you need to use on a daily basis and fonts that applications may require.
Open Control Panel
Open Fonts folder
Move fonts you don’t need to a temporary directory (e.g. C:\FONTBKUP?) just in case you need or want to bring a fewof them back. The more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you will gain.
Hope you find these 10 tips useful please leave a comment below and please share any other tips you may have with other readers.

done. trust me. it helps alot. yep. but the lat one, must take note, cos once you uninstall the fonts, you can't use them, have to paste them back into the fonts folder in order to use them. yep. just take 1-2 hours doing all the 10 tips, will make your com run at least 40% faster.

tmr, i shall post up RAM freer, great OSS for freeing up RAM in your com and making it run faster.

Maz: okay

let me start on something more gentle.

some of u might remember this quote i said to you guys before: intimate relationships are like sand held on your palm, hold it too tightly, the sand drops out; held to loosely, it rolls off too. hence, the fragility of such.

thats another issue.






[now, personally, joel, u dint have to act nice, u were more like ridiculing me by what u did in the end. however i dint sae what you did was wrong.

secondly, james, learn to buzz off. dun be extra.

thirdly.... the sensitive issue,

SHAWNA, this is addressed to you. (joel if u have any intention of deleting this, inform me before hand)
i politely would like to apologise as whatever that i had previously posted. i had no negative intention, and thought you would take it lightheartedly. dint think you would react like so, and i wouldnt have anyhow done so if i thought it was really bad.

nevertheless, i publicly say im sorry.


wouldnt be surprised if some fella comes over n deletes this]



gdluck to a happy 5b. promos went well...

aftermath

Yo class, your pw rep here. Please remember that we have to write a paragraph of I&R, and people who pon pw yesterday pls collect your heavy notes from me -_-

And not to risk sounding like a gigantic killjoy...yah all the results back today. Not very pleased with mine(in fact NOT AT ALL, I AM DAMN SORE AND BITTER!1!1!) but the truth is! I might think I had studied very hard! And that these results are probably not a good reflection of the amount of effort put in, but seriously. Whatever it is, I probably did not work hard enough. Why do some people do better than me? There must have been that extra bit of hard work put in while I was slacking or whining. We are in the same class afterall, going to the same lectures, doing the same tutorials. Some of us do better than the other because we work harder. Not talking about myself of course. My learning style was kinda skewed this time round.

I think there are a couple of good examples in the class we can learn from. We're going to be j2s next year, time to be more serious and focused. No more laughing at people who are mugging, no more slacking off tutorials, time to put in that energy to listen during lectures. After today, when I see some people getting Bs and Cs for physics, its really quite uplifting you know, no matter how stupid this might sound. It means there is HOPE PEOPLE! PHYSICS IS NOT DOOMED! ALRIGHT! Feel more cheered ok, for those feeling down about your results. Like what muddy says, time to re-strategise!

Ok I feel damn preachy and moralistic now. Would like to say I am glad to be in this class no matter how sulky and cranky I can be, for you all to listen to me whine and angst haha.

OHWARD COMRADEZ! 2007 HERE WE COME!

Miao: animes, j-dramas

i'm spending my time blogging here, and not watching animes. AHHHH...
thought that i will contribute to this blog as well lah. haha.

highly recommend all of you to go read Death Note, Naruto and Bleach. All very nice mangas. mr kok, go read leh. don't only get stuck reading samurai X. and what's with teachers loving samurai X? -.-" one of my ex-teachers also like samurai X.

let's see i still have 5 more october animes left to watch. *tears hair out*

btw, people who wanna watch jap dramas and don't mind chinese subtitles, can borrow them from me. [wth is wrong with chinese subtitles, they're quite easy to read what.] i have a whole cd tube of them. all quite nice one~~~

i'm trying to stop myself from turning this post into an october anime post. -..-"

xingyan says: econs anyone?

haha pig (see i didnt call you bim! haha), since you sound so desperate for posts...i shall post :D but i've got nothing much to blog about so if you all havent seen this, let ME the worst econs student in class teach you all econs! =p

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!"

That's Direct Marketing

2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you say:"He's very rich. Marry him."

That's Advertising

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: "Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me."

That's Telemarketing

4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say: "By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me?"

That's Public Relations

5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and say: "You are very rich! Can you marry me?"

That's Brand Recognition

6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.

That's Customer Feedback

7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband.

That's demand and supply gap

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him.

That's competition eating into your market share

9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: "I'm rich, Marry me!" And your wife arrives.

That's barriers of entry.

10. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: I am very rich. Marry me!". Another guy with flowers said: I am richer. Marry me!"

That's absolute advantage.

11. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm very rich. Marry me!" Her equally gorgeous friend tags along for the rest of the night.

That's economies of scale.

12. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm very rich. Marry me!" Two years later, you have kids.

That's the multiplier effect.

yep that's the end of the econs lesson...good luck for all ur results tmr! :) :)

seetoh : Be Nice

hey class

ure fun friendly kind loving ct rep finally posting.

feel honoured

ok juz kidding.

actually dun haf much to say that has relevanec to the class but i would like to share a lil something that happened to me today. i was on the bus back from somewhere, was coughing like mad cos i fell sick (probably the haze/lemin). den an old lady sitting in front of my suddenly spoke to me in jibberish and handed me a tissue with a weird smell (smell of some chinese medicated oilment). after abt 5 secs of her speaking i finally made out the language in which she was speaking.. mandarin. she said something abt telling me to sniff "xi" the tissue, in which i did which made me feel much better. throughout the ride home i nvr coughed.

moral of the story? - chinese medicine is better than it seems.

no actually what i wana say is, when was the last time u did something nice? or someone did something nice to u. i think the world can be a better place with more nice ppl arnd. so next time if someone's been nice to u, think abt what i said and take the opportunity to be nice to someone else. for u dont know how much it can lighten one's day, like what the old lady did for me today.

in case ure in doubt, yea and its really me.. jonathan seetoh so5b lol
