Sharing
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;
Perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken;
Strucked down, but not destroyed-
We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Therefore do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us
an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9, 16-18
This is just to encourage you all lar. You may feel stressed now, or you may feel normal already after these two years (for J2's), or you may going to feel more pressure (for J1's). But I just want you to know that even though you feel it is hard now, you are not in the stage where there's no hope. If you need help, sometimes your help is just beside you. I believe if you need a listening ear, you can find one. God is always there for us. Share with you a story.
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happens at the lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
I feel touched when I read this, haha.. So I thought maybe this will give you some encouragement also. So yeah, hope this helps! :)

The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, "$165,000". The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The elderly woman replied that she made bets. The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?" The elderly woman replied, "Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square." The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that. The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, "Would you like to take my bet?" "Certainly", replied the president. "I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are not square." "Done", the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness." "No problem", said the president of the Bank confidently.
That night, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles , turning them this way and that, checking them over again and again until he was positive that no one could consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet.
The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly woman arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the president's testicles were square. The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the day before.
Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants etc. so that she and her lawyer could see clearly. The president was happy to oblige. The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and asked the president if she could touch them. "Of course", said the president. "Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure." The elderly woman did so with a little smile.
Suddenly the president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that! and she replied, "Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Bank of Canada!"
PS: This is a bit dirty, oopz, haha... but yeah, have a gd laugh!

Morning Devotion
Hellos ppls! Thought I would just post this here, if anyone should want to read it.. Esp our J3's! Oh this was done on the morning of 27 Sept 2007. Yays. =)
Morning Devotion - Why the World Needs A Superhero
I was watching the movie Superman last year, and one of the scenes caught my attention. It was one where
Well, I gave it some thought, and this is what I’ve come up with.
In today's troubled world, perhaps many of us would want someone we can look up to, someone we respect, someone with great ability, and in a sense someone ‘super’. The list of superheroes is virtually endless: Superman, Spiderman, Captain Planet, perhaps? Or even the Powerpuff Girls.
Perhaps it is the human nature in us, that when faced with the stresses and problems of life, we would wish we had the power to make things easier for us. After all, who wouldn’t want to possess the power of flight, so that we can come to school in style, avoiding the morning rush-hour traffic in the process? Or with super-speed to complete all our tutorials, or even finish the marking of exam scripts in minutes?
All these, would then demonstrate the insecurities of Man. We are afraid of what we cannot do. After all, we are human. We have our limits. And more often than not, we are stretched to those limits. It is also during these times of need that we would cry out to God. The times where we cannot accomplish things on our own – where we would seek help from a greater power. In trying times that I’ve been through, there was no Superman, no Batman, no Spiderman who came to my rescue. It was always the hand of God that has lifted me up.
This actually made me wonder, if superheroes were actually modelled after someone real? If it is, then I would think that there is no other man but Jesus. He is the very person who died to save us. He brings us comfort in the night, he gives us assurance through the storm. I rejoice in Him, for He has brought me life. I give thanks to Him, for he is my provider, my ultimate superhero.
And of course, God has placed many human heroes around us. People who are able to complete seemingly impossible tasks or overcome insurmountable odds. These are friends, teachers, seniors – anyone – whom we look up to, they are people who inspire and influence us.
So if there is anyone who has in fact impacted you, I would encourage you to walk up to that person, and let him, or her know that he’s your hero. I am sure, that even heroes will need words of encouragement!
With that being said, what about the rest of us? Have we thought about being heroes ourselves? Certainly, we do not need to possess any superpowers to be able to inspire others, nor would we need any special skills to be able to touch lives. All we need, is to have a sincere heart.
The bible tells us that The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. Colossians 3:23-24 also reads: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
The answer, by one student, was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and taking into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why,last night,
Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+

Bussing Options
For a 30 seater its $60 for one way and $80 for two way. 45 seater is $70 and $100 respectively.
That would be :
30 seater One Way Two ways
$2.00 $2.70
45 Seater One Way Two ways
$1.60 $2.30
If we take public transport..
5 mins waiting for 196, time to travel to Buona Vista MRT= 10min, BV MRT to Pasir Ris MRT=43 mins + waiting time ave 5 min. Pasir Ris wait for bus, 5mins. Time taken to reach MJC = 10min. Plus all those walking time, 5 mins.
Total : About 80+ mins (1hr 20 mins)
Cost : $0.45 + $0.50 + $0.45 - $0.20 (Rebate for transfer) = $1.20
So yup. Bus will probably be bout 45mins? Max one hour. (Hopefully) And don't need to walk to bus stops/Run for bus/Squeeze on MRT! Just add a bit more money only loh.. And we'll be able to eat meals in hostel so that's another way of saving money! So let's see how it goes yeah..
Do let me know by Sunday aft so that hopefully we can arrange by monday (one week's notice for the bus ppls loh)..
So yup! Thanks ppls! Enjoy your weekend! =)

Interesting Article!
Indulge your inner child today
By Khoo How San
TODAY is 'Why? Day'. Never heard of it?
Never mind, you have xx hours left - depending on when you read this article and the main one by Dr Frank Starmer on this page - to go with the flow of your suppressed curiosity.
Let the child in you ask 'Why?' 'Why not?' 'How come?' 'What if?' 'But, but...' And let the child or kids in the family have their day, ergo, no question, no matter how wacky it seems to you, is to be dismissed out of hand today.
I like to believe that, like Dr Starmer, I have always been curious, and that I have had some role in my children's curiosity.
Eons ago, when I was a six-year-old, my dad finally got me a mechanical wristwatch (those were pre-digital days). Of course he conveniently failed to say where he bought it. But it impressed me: shockproof, waterproof, 17 jewels, automatic, it proudly declared on its faceplate.
Yes, I was curious - to see if it could be shocked. The good old very scientific drop test was initiated. Let's just say that after my experiment I still had a very accurate timepiece: it was very, very accurate twice a day.
Many, many years later, my own six-year-old daughter proved she had acquired my 'curiosity' genes.
We lived on the fifth storey of a five-storey walkup apartment block then, with a balcony where she would spend her weekend playtime. I bought her a battery-operated flying saucer toy, flashing lights and all.
Yes, she tested it. She reported very scientifically that it did not fly when, ahem, the drop test from the balcony was initiated. The good news for me is that she is still curious, and is a doctor training to be a scientist-clinician.
My other daughter is just as curious, in a more philosophical way. Once, we were on a holiday when she was three. At breakfast in
She took a look at the bao in front of her and bawled, 'Who bit my bao?'
It was quite a scene as she was inconsolable. Someone chipped in: 'Look, everyone's bao has a hole in it.'
I would like to think it was her philosophical curiosity (from the particular to the general reasoning at work) that made her riposte: 'Who bit everybody's bao!'
She should be all right on her curiosity quotient (CQ). She has started university, reading philosophy, of course.
So, take the family out the rest of today, and together ask 'Why?' and so on. Look at road signs. Ponder over why a particular sign says 'Raised zebra crossing', yet has a drawing of a man crossing a street.
Recall those good old days when you studied, loved or hated science - and whether you crammed in useless formulae or learnt useful stuff like 'Which organ expands up to 10 times when excited?'
By the way, it's not what you think, you dirty-minded you. It's the pupil of the eye.

get active...
do you realise you're a chosen one?
i came here and realised that i wans't as stuck-in-a-small-town-under-a-coconut-shell as i thought i previously was. suddenly i realise i can make a difference. that my decisions and actions can actually catalyse a change, perhaps in our family, our community or even our country.
you, especially you, being an ASEAN scholar, have been given the privelege to learn first-hand experience from a First world country. you have insider information, albeit a little glossed over as singapore tend to picture perfect everything to you. nonetheless you have experienced an 'out-of-the-box' experience that your fellow friends in malaysia can only dream of.
you are equipped and empowered with the knowledge, the insights and the alternative point-of-view so badly required to precipitate change in Malaysia.
last month, Malaysia blogger Nathaniel Tan was detained by the police
http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2007/07/13/malaysia-blogger-detained-by-police/
then the Parliament decides to clampdown on Malaysia vibrant blogging scene
http://www.suaram.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=540&Itemid=1
already our newspapers, local publications are being censored, both by the government, or self-censored, to avoid discussion of 'sensitive' issues...the public turns to blogs and now the government wants to regulate the virtual arena too.
isnt it time we got involved in out nation's affairs?

June holidays (:
So, please bear with the nonsense that is coming up (:
This is the time when many people are going back to their hometown, escaping from all the rush hours here in Singapore, enjoying the good food, breathing in the fresh air (okay, I am not too sure about this >.<), treasuring the quality time with family members, catching up with friends, watching all the latest movies...
Yes, you are right, it is June holidays right now.
Well, for those who already went back, treasure your time back there!
For those who are going back soon (ME!! ^^), look forward to the day that you will be stepping your foot on Tanah Melayu again! (I haven't forget my Malay :P)
And for those who have no choice but to stay here, well, you can always go and explore Singapore!

Just updating the blog (:
Why men Lie!!!
One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river.
When he cried out, God appeared and asked," Why are you crying?"
The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water.
Then God went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe.
"Is this your axe?" God asked.
The woodcutter replied, "No."
[Wait, I know that you are thinking that you have already heard this story (: Just keep on reading... You shall see]
God again went down and came up with a silver axe. "Is this your axe?" he asked.
Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."
God went down again and came up with an iron axe. "Is this your axe?" God asked.
The woodcutter replied," Yes."
God was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happily.
One day while he was walking with his wife along the riverbank, the woodcutter's wife fell into the river.
When he cried out, God again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"
"Oh God , my wife has fallen into the water!"
God went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez. "Is this your wife?" he asked.
"Yes," cried the woodcutter.
God was furious. "You cheat! That is an untruth!"
The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me God . It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I said 'no' to Jennifer Lopez, You will come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I also say 'no' to her, You will come up with my wife, and I will say 'yes,' and then all three will be given to me. But God, I am a poor man and I will not be able to take care of all three wives, so that's why I said 'yes' this time."
The moral of the story is whenever a man lies, it is for an honorable and useful reason...
tsk..tsk... (:
Just for laughs :D
One afternoon a wealthy lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass.
Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.
He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.
"We have to eat grass."
"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you", the lawyer said.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree".
"Bring them along," the lawyer replied.
Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us also."
The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"
"Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.
Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place; the grass is almost 1 metre high!"
Lesson : Don't trust kind lawyers :-)
Hope that you guys enjoy the two "moral" stories (:
Have a nice day people!!

Hmm...regarding to the post about GP...
Just to voice what I feel..
I feel that the author is being childish in making the value of the knowledge of world issues little..
When I read the article, I felt something wrong.. then I read the teacher's comment, I felt that what he said is actually more convincing then his.
My GP grade wasn't good also. But this doesn't mean that it is useless or irrelevant. On the other hand, I think it is very relevant to our lifes. We get to know why certain things have happened in this world. We get to think what are the factors (cultural, social, political, economic etc) that affect what we are having now, we have had or we are going to have. All these are good to know and think about. I feel that when we are going out to work, there are certain things we need to consider about. And through GP, we get to understand why certain decisions are made. For example, those investors need to know the cultural, social, political and ecomonic bankground, then they can know how much risk is there to invest in certain countries. If we are not taught GP, are we able to know that there are these factors needed to be thought about? By then, maybe the general knowledge is no longer irrelevant but very much relevant to our lifes.
I feel that somehow the author prefers sentimental approach rather than logical one. Yes, maybe a sentimental approach is able to attract people better. But I think a logical approach can provoke people to think. When knowledge is not used in a proper way, then it cannot be useful. When you have doubted and thought about the piece of knowledge you have learnt, then you have understood and applied it, then you have gained the knowledge. GP not only helps us to know more about what happens on this world, but more importantly it asks us to think about what we have known.
Why GP is so hard to score? Because we need a substantial, convincing and original essay. Why is it so hard to write a substantial one? Because we think that what happens on this world isn't so relevant to our lifes that we couldn't be bothered. Therefore we don't have enough examples to make the essay substantial. Why we cannot write a convincing one? Because we never bothered to think about the issues but to anyhow form arguments without much thinking, childishly thinking poeple will buy their story. Why we cannot wirte an original one? Because we only look at the superficial level of the issues, then we arrogantly feel it is enough for us to show that we know the issues, forgetting the deeper knowledge that have yet to be discovered.
He argues that why don't we do something, since we have been thinking so much about the issues? I want to ask, what else are the arguments that we are able to think at this schooling and dependant age but those adults who have more experience than us have not thought of? I have questioned myself before, how to write an essay with full of originality. The various newspapers and magazines have provided us certain arguments about the issues. If we use those arguments, with good examples, we can pass GP. Maybe with good language, we might be able to get a B.
You see, we can never know the full picture of certain issues as we are not them. Like tsunami victims, we never know how painful they feel since we do not experience the tsunami. We can only get information from media, in this way our perceptions maybe coloured, as we can only accept what is told to us. Even we logically think about the information given to us and get what we think is true, it is only part of the true story. Then do you think base on this incomplete information, we can think of great solution and solve the problem completely? The answer is obvious, no.
He mentioned that if we care for the people around us (whom we know or see) more, it is better as they are near to us, they are relevant. Whereas the world issues are not our problems but the politicians, hence irrelevant. But I think it is being a bit irresponsible. I agree that we should care for poeple around us more as we can offer the most immediate help when they are in need. But it doesn't mean that we don't care about the rest. We can always offer help to people who are far from us. We can donate things to them. We can offer solutions to the capable people so that they can execute. But if we don't have the general knowledge, how can we donate to those needy people if we don't know the associated organisations? How can we offer a feasible solutions to the able people to do it if we don't have enough background knowledge? Moreover, we are living in this world, how can we say it is irrelevant to us?
I don't think that argueing about certain issues and discussing issues with friends is the same thing. When we talk about world issues with friends, we don't always argue (maybe some does..) but we discuss. We don't try to win over one another but to discuss which arguments offered by the media is convincing and true and to form new arguments. When we write essays, we write to people whom we do not know to read. We cannot offer a smile or an honest facial expression to make them believed and convinced by what we say. We can only convince them through words. Only when you argue without being too absolute and with balanced point of views then they can be convinced. I think no matter how much you hate people argue with you, you will more or less convinced by balanced arguments. (The truth is poeple don't like to argue with one another)
In a nutshell, there are a lot of things have yet to be learnt. Even if we learn all the way till the day we die, we can never learn all the knowledge on this world. So we should try to think about what we have learned and not feel contented looking at the superficial level of the knowledge.

GP Essay =]
An article written for the RA Magazine by Tay Hui Mun (1A01A, 2002).
I've never been good at GP; don't think I ever will get good at it. Just look at how I'm writing now — if you think this is even C-grade stuff, you're sadly mistaken. I'd say 8/50.
Perhaps these are the incoherent, unstructured, poorly-argued, silly views of a bitter person who can only be contented with an average of 20-odd marks. Usually the only people in class who do worse than I do for the essay are Jonathan, a fellow writer for R(a), and Su Ching, the chief editor. Gangwei, our graphics and layout editor, comes close. Perhaps I'm just whining about my poor grades.
But why keep it all to myself? I might as well attempt to drag this ramshackle of an assessment system down with me.
Is the importance of General Knowledge greatly overrated?
I try to read the newspapers, and I take a look at the Economist when I walk past the growing stack in my room. Laziness is obviously not something to be proud of, and probably why I do so badly in GP. But I comfort myself in the knowledge that at least I know when the class is laughing at me, and not with me. But the question I always ask myself is this: What's the point of knowing so much about the world when you know so little about yourself and the people around you?
I'm not saying we don't need general knowledge. What I'm saying is that our immediate surroundings should be of far greater importance. Instead of troubling yourself with how the UN can mediate between Country X and Country Y, why not think about how you can ease the tension between the two classmates in your class who never seem to see eye to eye? Since you can remember that such a percentage of pollution will lead to our living that many years less, why don't you pick up that small piece of litter under you seat and throw it away?
I might one day apply the knowledge I've learnt from the Economist. For example, when my friend tells me that he doesn't have enough money, I could barrage him with how the woes of inflation, the devaluation of the US dollar and the instability of the Indonesian government have led to a reduction in capital such that I cannot cover my opportunity costs. Or I could carry on a proper conversation with him, with both of us none the wiser.
To add to the frustration of attempting to understand the market situation in East Asia relative to the United States, I have this nagging suspicion that many an entrepreneur who knows that much less than my classmates is still that much more successful than most of us will ever be.
And most importantly, the things I read about what people are doing across the globe don't help me much, don't teach me much. They only depress me. One more murder, one more war, one more statistic to quote in my essay.
If all of us GP students could feel just that little bit more for the people around us, even if we knew that little bit less about the people not around us, we would be happier, and those around us — those that we can affect, those whose problems we can actually provide solutions to — would be happier as well.
"The Argument has little true application in the lives of normal people." How far do you agree with this statement?
Another question is this: Since we know so much and talk so much, why don't we do something? You only argue about something when you feel strongly enough about it, and when you want to do something about it. I see no point in rattling on about education in Singapore or the ethics of gene therapy in Saudi Arabia when we aren't going to do anything about it, when no action is going to be taken at all. What's the point of thinking so hard, sorting out facts into examples and counterexamples, deciding on a stand, if you can't even understand how ITE students are faring, or how an infertile mother may be desperate for a baby?
The ability to form an argument may be an important tool. But once again I question its relevance to everyday living. Does coexistence with your neighbor or the auntie who sells lemon tea require you to form an argument? Did Martin Luther King really prepare an introduction (with definitions and stand), a body (with examples to provide substantiation and counterarguments, no less) and a conclusion (to sum up the speech and restate the stand)? Even as a leader of tomorrow, will argument really be the way to motivate your followers?
As a person, why would you ever want to learn how to win a person to your side through an argument when all it might take is a smile and some courtesy? Who, apart from examiners and interviewers, would really be impressed by the huge sums of general knowledge a person has stored in his processing appendage when such a person doesn't know when he's said too much or when he's overstayed his invitation? In fact, I'd hate it if a person argued with me over something -- and even if he were on my side, I'd find it irritating for him to produce an argument for me. That's why nobody does it in everyday life. Doesn't it make sense, then, that we shouldn't do so much of it in the classroom?
"Objectivity and logic run counter to human nature." To what extent is this true?
During a speech, what is more likely to move the crowd — high-strung passion and fervour or a clear, logical sequence of points and substantiation?
When you talk to a person, are you more likely to move him through tears and laughter or a clear, logical sequence of points and substantiation?
What would the GP teachers find more interesting — a sentimental narrative or a clear, logical sequence of points and substantiation?
What do we need more of — a few words of comfort and advice or —
A clear logical sequence of points and substantiation?
Conclusion
GP is useful, and its effectiveness in testing our command of the English language is as good as that of any other test. But like all other things in our education, its being tested has led to an unhealthy fixation on things that don't seem to click with the humans in us.
(Might that be one of the reasons the GP tutors find it so hard to maintain our interest in the subject? Why I'd rather read a book than my GP Bulletin anytime?)
So, what is the point of writing a GP essay?
As of this moment, it's so that I can pass my promos.
I can just imagine my GP teacher shaking her head mournfully.
You haven't been able to form a clear, logical sequence of argument. Too few examples and too little substantiation. You can't expect anyone to take you seriously.
WOW. SO true =]
