NIGHT CYCLING
EASTERN PARK CONNECTOR
42 km

hi guys! this is an outing for those who are seeking for a bit of thrill. i am planning to gather a group of around 12 for this outing(7 guys, 5 girls) and ALL ARE WELCOMED! the eastern loop will see us weave our way from east coast park, to changi and then to the neighbourhoods of pasir ris, tampines and bedok. it will be fun! At 42km, this is twice the distance we used to cycle from ferry point to ecp and back. the route isnt tough, but be sure that you will be able to last through the night. It will take approximately 5 hours to complete the route including stopovers i guess. Below are more details on the outing:

Date: Friday, 10th October

Time: 10pm at ECP Macdonalds to meet (someone has got to go earlier to collect the bikes)
11pm to start off (after delays)

Cost: ~$7

Attire: Light Coloured Clothing. Shoes for comfort.

Stopovers: Changi Food Centre & Bedok Reservoir (tentative)

Added thrill: Anyone wants to explore Tampines Mountain Biking Trail at night? I've been there before at that kinda time. Quite "spooky" :) hehe

Here's the route map. Do feel excited looking at it! hahaha

Interested? If so, please indicate below. Registration closes next tuesday, 7th October.
Should you be interested but are unable to join us on 10th October, please indicate below as well, together with your preferred date. Should the date of the outing be changed, it will most likely remain on a friday. If you are super free and are able to keep your fridays and saturday mornings free every single week, please indicate as well!

1) Shawn (any friday/saturday)
2) Chia Hong
3) Kewei
4) Benedict
5) Shu Han (most probably if more girls go)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)
11)
12)

I know this is quite delayed. But I must say I was very touched by that powerpoint thingee from all of you. It is totally errr.. kickass! So here's a big thank you to EVERYONE.

I'm glad you all where at the chalet. I will miss all of you! Don't worry about 07. Let 07 worry for itself.

Worry instead about remembering the good times. Because times such as these keep you well alive.

The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

3k06

2006-02-28T11:04:00.000+08:00

Before I share my own views about 3K06. I have to talk about 3K/4K 94/95. This is us. As "oh biang" as can be. Last time policemen wore shorts, and girls had short hair.

My class was never united - in the way all of you express unity to be. We were, like you, clusters of 2G, 2H, 2J students, conglomerated into an entity called 3K. It was arbitrary. It was uncomfortable. It took us some time to accept one another. But eventually we did.

I will forever cherish my time in this class. Not because we won any awards, not because we were fanatically united as a class, but for one reason alone = my best relationships in my life were forged in 3K and 4K. This was us then.

Relationships are not about the good times alone. Relationships are forged in fire. We fought, yelled at, and at times hated each other. But like the forges of a blacksmith, the product were friends that until today I hold dear to. It is one thing to have friends to talk to, but another that can read you like an open book. Three of us are particularly close, and although we ended up in different JCs, we still, very openly regarded each other as closest. We stay close until today.

I don't know how to describe a close friendship. It's the type that knows what's on your mind without asking. It's the type that can read your body language, no matter how minute. Of course, 3K94 still meets up until today. It's a bond the continues to grow.

So what am I saying? I am not saying that my past was grand and nice. Neither am I saying that I hope that 3K06 MUST be something grand and nice. All I'm saying is this:

Build relationships.

I don't care about awards. About the class winning anything. The greatest things in life are not prizes, or material. They are people.

class tee design.. tag abt it~!!!

2006-02-25T18:33:00.000+08:00

arloeeee iiikians... eh cuz the font is a picture so i dunno how to change the colour.. so i only could change it to white... ya so the design will be like that? then colour will be decided on monday can? currently the highest vote is like that: white for the kaleidoscope, then orange for logo, then white for the generation and limegreen for the caption... eh so ppl jux tag at the tagboard if u wanna the generation... cuz it is sort of weird huh.. cuz it looks like we are frm a 'g' class... ya .. no offence to those who want it..

Blog Awards Too?

2006-02-22T17:12:00.000+08:00

The Blog Awards II

Some pretty amazing entries from Everyone (except ahem ahems). I was thinking of awarding everyone. But that would mean me not having a life. So here goes.

The Vocabulary List Very Long Award
Samantha's reflector-x. Reading some of her entries requires having a dictionary next to you.

The Very Into Music Award
Evelyn's si-mplistic. Almost every entry has something to do with the music she loves. Way to go. (but the 3 entries I must have okay? - I need to grade you to be fair).

The Most Frank Award
AnnGi's dreammiestarx. I always respect people who speak their minds. Even if doing so means being policitally incorrect. I do that all the time in the boardroom. Better to get it off your chest now, than blow up later under all that pressure and resentment.

The Most Kawaii Award
Shirley's animefan-ny. The blog addy says it all! Super Cutesy. When teachers see Shirley in her 2k'05 picture, they all say... "so cute". Just like her blog.

Thank you all for your well-wishes. I feel much better right now after seeing all of you (cross fingers).

P/S: Your Geog test is "unmarkable"!

Mr. Tan.

2006-02-20T16:44:00.000+08:00

I went back and did a quick search on dictionary.com - I think kaleidoscope is a really fantastic word for us(I really did say it by chance). It is mostly made up of Greek words. Simply wonderful.

ka·lei·do·scope (k-ld-skp)n.

A tube-shaped optical instrument that is rotated to produce a succession of symmetrical designs by means of mirrors reflecting the constantly changing patterns made by bits of colored glass at one end of the tube.
A constantly changing set of colors.
A series of changing phases or events: a kaleidoscope of illusions.

[Greek kalos = beautiful]
[Greek eidos = form, or the distinctive expression of the cognitive or intellectual character of a culture or a social group]
[Greek scope = aim/target]

ka·leido·scopic (-skpk) or ka·leido·scopi·cal adj. ka·leido·scopi·cal·ly adv.

Kaleidoscope in Greek is καλειδοσκόπιο.
In Italian is Kaleidoskop.
In French is Kaléidoscope.

I just got news from the doc. that I must rest. My cough is highly contagious apparently. You can use the time (you can ask your relief teacher for time), to settle the shirt stuff. Thanks to those who are spearheading this. It's a tough job.

2006-02-16T19:14:00.000+08:00

I'm currently searching for a free host which can support rbs + php format and doesn't need to upload through FTP. So just bear with it for a longer bc most free hosting doesnt support both x:.

http://radioblogclub.com/radio.blog.2.5.zip
Download radioblog and unzip it. The instructions on how to convert the song file into *rbs format should be in there.

http://www.smartftp.com/download/
Then download ftp, either version should be fine {i think x:}.
After installing FTP open it and you should see the bar with login, pw etc.

address: iiikay.glwb.info
login: iiikay
pw: eh ... pm me for the pw x:

Login then click on www > radio.blog > sounds and upload in the "sounds" folder. There should be a sample song there x:
If anyone needs any help just eh, email me or pm me =D

Music soothes the savage beast

2006-02-09T22:02:00.000+08:00

I have been trying like a nutcase to get our own version of a radio.blog. Inspiration from none other but Joel.

Realised radio.blog is an excellent way to hear some real "unknown" and truly "alternative" music. Like the Gattaca theme song and some real heartland Hokkien songs - oh I love those.

I have already got a free subscription to some web server - iiikay.50megs.com, only to find out they don't support some XMS thing. Arrgh.

Anyone's got any ideas/bright bulbs over your head/flashes of inspiration? Let me know.

Uh huh?

My thoughts at last

2006-02-03T20:38:00.000+08:00

I must confess that the show "Gattaca" puts me in a quandry.

On one hand I see the tremondous potential the application of DNA has on medicine - it will without a shadow of doubt be the forefront of bio-medical science, and will bring unprecedented cures, treatments and preventive medicines to humanity.

On the other hand I think I understand human nature well enough to know that some will misuse this knowledge we have acquired. Discrimination has been part and parcel of humanity since the earliest annals of history - I cannot delude myself and say humanity will change. DNA will definitely lead to a new form of discrimination - one, as Vincent puts across succintly, one that will be based on your genes. DNA testing of potential employees has already begun on a small scale in the U.S.

Yet, I think that this a tide that all of us will have to ride. We cannot and should not ban genetic engineering absolutely because in it holds the physical salvation of many in the near future. In Singapore, we have a cancer rate of 1 in 3. Think about it. Look at the 2 friends sitting next to you. Statistically, ONE of them will develop cancer of some sort. For me - 12 of you will develop cancer. How can I be so selfish as to deny 12 of you the chance of a healthy life? How can I deny you that just because I have some misgivings about how society will change with this tide? Do we ban money because it corrupts some? Do we ban the use of a knife if someone uses it to kill?

In the midst of this quandry I believe there IS something positive we can do about it. Many of you will be involved in the life-sciences in the near future. Some of you may become lawyers and be invovled in the passing of laws for GE. Some of you may becomegovernment people who write policies with regards to GE. When you are in these positions. Just do me a favour and think about Vincent. That's what we can do.

Remember Vincent.

The Blog Awards

(Does not affect your grade - its just for fun, and recognition of effort)

Blog with Most Passion - JunHan's ahband4evahonour

You can just tell - from the way he talks about about music and his CCA - way to go!

Most Snazzy Blog - Chermain P's couldiever.

Snazzy means most "up-to-date", or "fashionable". Avant Garde to the core.

Brainest and "Chim-est" Blog - Nicole's preposterous pumpkins.

A must read - Articulate, thoughtful and with a lot of pizzazz. Even the web address has 4 syllabals.

The Blog with invisible ink

Mr. Auyong has definitely broken past all scientific barriers by inventing the first telepathic blog. I do know what you're thinking!

Just kidding... write something please?

Have a great weekend. Here's some food for thought - GATTACA - has the letters GTCA in them. GTCA are the letters assigned to the various genomes of our DNA.
