WITH REGARDS TO THE IMMINENCE OF THE SWINE INFLUENZA:

to the persons who just happen to be on this blog, please allow yourself to read the following statements. who knows, it may mean your life. my 2 cents' worth on this issue...

1. if you haven't known, WHO has raised the alert level to 5 (pandemic probable) on monday, meaning the virus has adapted to the point where it can freely spread human-to-human, and with the prevalence of air travel, the influenza has presented itself on most continents, the lastest being asia (hong kong).
2. MOH in singapore has raised its alert level to orange in lieu of WHO's decision. temperature-taking in educational institutions are now a requirement, reminiscent of the sars epidemic of 03.
3. signages at shopping malls and other public buildings have advised that persons who have gone to affected countries and present symptoms of flu (eg. fever, respiratory issues) are to STAY HOME (ie QUARANTINE), a critical part of the entire prevention process.
4. should the symptoms not abate, or get worse, there's a dedicated emergency line (s'pore only) activated only yesterday, 993, which will give you priority at a&e and provide you with necessary tests and, if required, treatment.
5. refrain from travelling to affected countries, or travelling at all, to minimise, as far as possible, the risk of the virus spreading.
6. stock up on supplies and medication as soon as the need arises, for once the infection goes into full swing, supplies could be hard to get by, added to the fact that going outdoors may almost be completely improbable.

the world has to prepare for a long, protracted war with the influenza, and chances are it will cost lives. but how many are dependant on how people react to it. knowledge is the best weapon, and it, along with the nessesary actions, can eventually defeat it.

-----------------------------

on a lighter note, do listen out for 'water night' by eric whitacre. it is haunting at parts, and its ending put me to stunned silence, unspeakable beauty, indescribable, literally.

my lecture theatre. xiang feng and jac in the foreground.

there have been TWO events that only serve to reinforce my views on TWO facts:

1) singapore poly's facilities are just AWESOME!
2) the evening rush-hour is just terrible.

why, you may ask?

here are the reasons:
1) just today me and (most of) my class went to spgg (grad's guild) to play bowling. pretty empty then, and we had 4 hours between econs lecture and acccounts lecture...so we played 3 games...all for $6!!! there were many, err, bloopers throughout, like 'long kang man' living up to his name, and that 'sky can punch all the pins to the ground'. LOL. my results are none of your business, not to say they were good anyways...=x

after that (we still had a free hour) we went to the arcade in spgg (!?!) to add to the fun $1 gives you 3 daytona races OR 9 lives in time crisis (which sky is GOD-LIKE in). so if we wanted to cool off, we could go there-everything is like less than half price-all we needed was the admissions card! =D

2) oh well, when you're released 6, what's expected is what we dread: the rush-hour. it got pretty packed by outram park, where graeme, deyun and dawn got off. thankfully i found a seat! by city hall, it was completely filled up. i slept all the way to tampines.

i took the service 293 home. this time, i wasn't spared-i was squashed at the side of the bus. and it was so for 10mins. D: which now reiterates why i hate rush hours, as do everbody else.

~ok. time for me to sleep now...nights all!

bye~

LXV

crap.

now i'll be eternally known as 'the guy who f**ked up on stage'...

why did they have to call my name at the wrongest time?!
that's why i hate screwups.

oh well. guess i'll have to live with it. all over again ):

least fish & co was fun! i think...happy bdae weichong! (:

bye.

LXIV

hi.

haha today was awesome!
earliest to arrive.

accounting was somewhat...dry? lol
nvm

ate fettucine for lunch.
quite good i'd reckon.
graeme tried to play l4d, but in the end the tutorial room opened only 5 mins b4 tutorial. so failure D:
heehee we were supposed to have been released at 3, but
..
..
WE GOT RELEASED AN HOUR HALF EARLY.

ALL BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW TO USE STUDENT MAIL. THEN TUTOR HAD NTH TO TEACH. SO HE LET US GO.
=DDD

graeme was like joking tht if he gave us break and only released us at 3, it would have been and hour half long :O
bought econs book (bloody thick and ex) and mrt-ed home with graeme and elaine.

end of story~
:O got econs and acc tmr. MEANS ECONS BOOK, ACCT BOOK AND LAPTOP. UBER HEAVY.
gg...

hiies pple.

~

second day of school was well...quite fun?

we did lotsa stuff...econs....ppc...marginal benefit/cost...

~

ok enough.

~

anw after school me, graeme, sean, deyun (adam the superstar =p) and justin went to the kallang leisure theatre to ice-skate.

balancing on ice with two narrow blades isn't easy ok? though i skated b4 (like erm, 4 years ago? @.@) i've kinda completely lost all my 'skills' (if i had any to begin with =p)

took me some time, and a couple of falls, and a change in skates, before i gained enough confidence to skate quickly...least enough to keep up with graeme and sean.

~

well skated for 2 whole hours...thn off to home we went (sean ate lunch 1st though).

~

heeheehee i've finished stats homework! now (at least) i'm work-free! ^^

~

ok enough talk. pics from the rink below.

sean the pro. heeheehee =x

sean and deyun the superstar heading down to the rink.

monday
--------------
got up early. tampines isn't near dover to begin with.
rode a taxi to eunos, then met shirong there. then mrt-ed to dover. wasn't late thankfully.
we later split (he's in same course, but class 1A07). four people (xiu e, deyun, sean, graeme, though i didn't know them at the time) were already there. anw it took another half hour for the whole class to appear.
thus started the laptop tutorial and eliser tour. and honestly, it's very dry -.-
skip!
lunch was later, and omg it was so cramped! -.- had western there.
then went to the tutorial room for ice-breaking.
KC (my facilitator), upon watching the other class play these games, openly declared:
"...i've always wanted to abolish such stupid games...since i'm facil now, i HEARBY ABOLISH ICE-BREAKING GAMES!!!" so funny, that joker =x
so we introduced ourselves (typical), and thn did the '1st impressions' activity.
LOL so many gamers and superstars -.-
thn they describe me as rich, pampered =.="
xiu e wanted to call me 'boss face', thn end up being misinterpreted as 'balls face'!! ROFLOLMAO! "=.="
ok thn finish and went home.

tuesday
------------------
went on my own this time. met at convention centre this time.
started with talks by the principal and school director. okok =)
thn went for station games.
FIRST trust fall. we form links with arms thn the girls fall onto the arms (thus trust)
NEXT chair race. we lost. no forfeit! =DD
LAST is one where you have to get past lines of pple and capture the flag. we lost. miserably.
thn met back to continue intro. deyun superstar leh! adam something...heh.
thn went home. again.
shi rong dislocated his shoulder! =O could see the bone jutting out. *gasp*

wednesday
-------------------
shortest day.
went to mlt10 again...thn the lecturers were talking about experiences...WANNA GO JAPAN CREDIT EXCHANGE!!! =p
go play games later...
1st played stocks game. needa tikam-tikam (wild guess) the prices of diff stocks. and we got all correct O.o
thn theres the hangman and some ball game....forgot the details.
when we got 3rd, KC was like crying out "they cheat, get 2nd, we play fair, get 3rd!" LOL
then went back. collected tin cans and stickers and shirts for flag day.
wang's quan's bdae tht day =)

thursday
------------------
FLAG DAY.
was slightly late (overslept =x)
but alot of pple were later thn i was =)
started off with taiko. thn off we go! walked to buona vista with the class, then holland v.
was debating whether we wanted breakfast. and i gave up. the guys left me behind (they went to vivo) so i was left behind in holland v.
collected abit there. thn went to the coffee bean to break. sean and deyun (superstar) met me there. explored holland v and its surroundings. had really good food. collected more $$ on the way. explored all the way back to sp. =p
collected $11.35!

hello!

update time!

ok yesterday was rather erm, emotional?
omg each of us alum had to make a short 'speech'
the reason why presumably mine sucked is down to 2 reasons:
1) thank you erika lydia hanwen bryan yuling for taking whatever i wanted to say; and
2)interrupted by dear bryan (^%%$%#%).

ok, so the juniors wrote a card for us, which was quite sweet.
hahahaa tuan BOO!
dunno whos holding it nw... =x

this is followed by tears (NOT ME BRYAN! NOT. ME.) and hugs. and well, more hugs.
don't forget us.
because i'm sure as hell we won't forget you guys.
and i'm sure as hell i will be there during choir camp! haha

aim for tht place in europe!
