30 things to do in an exam you know you gonna fail..
No... it doesn't mean i'm suggesting you to do this.... hahaaa! coz what is exams!? can eat one ar? =P
i grabbed this off facebook!
1. Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming "Andre, Andre, I've got the secret documents!!"
2. Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, "I'm SOOO sure that you can hear me thinking." Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.
3. Bring a Game Boy. Play with the volume at max level.
4. On the answer sheet find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be creative.
5. Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say "They've found me, I have to leave the country" and run off.
6. 15 min. into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas." If you're really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every 15 min.
7. Come into the exam wearing slippers, a bathrobe, a towel on your head, and nothing else.
8. Come down with a BAD case of Tourette's Syndrome during the exam. Be as vulgar as possible.
9. Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he's not looking. Blame it on the person nearest to you.
10. As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.
11. Every 5 min. stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, continue with the exam.
12. Turn in the exam approx. 30 min. into it. As you walk out, start commenting on how easy it was.
13. Get the exam. 20 min into it, throw your papers down violently, scream out "Fuck this!" and walk out triumphantly.
14. Arrange a protest before the exam starts (ie. Threaten the instructor that whether or not everyone's done, they are all leaving after one hour to go drink.)
15. Show up completely drunk (completely drunk means at some point during the exam, you should start crying for mommy).
16. Comment on how sexy the instructor is looking that day.
17. Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 min, put on a white mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera" until they drag you away.
18. If the exam is math/sciences related, make up the longest proofs you could possible think of. Get pi and imaginary numbers into most equations. If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life story.
19. Try to get people in the room to do a wave.
20. Bring some large, cumbersome, ugly idol. Put it right next to you. Pray to it often. Consider a small sacrifice.
21. During the exam, take apart everything around you. Desks, chairs, anything you can reach.
22. Puke into your exam booklet. Hand it in. Leave.
23. Take 6 packages of rice cakes to the exam. Stuff at least 2 rice cakes into your mouth at once. Chew, then cough. Repeat if necessary.
24. Masturbate.
25. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About 5 min into it, loudly say to the instructor, "I don't understand ANY of this. I've been to every lecture all semester long! What's the deal? And who the hell are you? Where's the regular guy?"
26. Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up!
27. Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers completely blacked out.
28. Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the instructor asks why, tell him/her in a very derogatory tone, "the light bulb that goes on above my head when I get an idea is hooked up to a clapper. DUH!"
29. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the instructor's requests for you to stop. When they finally get you to leave one way or another, begin whistling the theme to the Bridge on the River Kwai.
30. After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point to any question, ask for the answer. Try to work it out of him/her.
Here you go!

Dont worry Be Happy
To all of you guys who have been worrying and studying hard for your revision. Especially dedicated to our dear MR P, who sing with me before we enter for first exam.
Sing along session:
Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....
There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
p.s this one need to worry ok, check email regularly ah FRANCIS. HMMMM....

Exams Preparation!!
For many today is the eve of our exams, but some is already in the midst of the battle of examination! Which moron invented exams? That was the question I try to find out eariler, but no luck. However, I found another article, which I found would be rather useful.
5 Things to do the day before the exam
1. Review Key Points
Notice the word REVIEW!! The day before your test is less than ideal to be first learning something. Hopefully you have already mastered the material, and it is just a matter of giving that material an extra polish.
2. Eat Well-balanced Meals
Remember the phrase, You are what you eat? Be sure to keep your body and your brain in peak condition by feeding it the nutrients it needs to perform at its best. Usually easier said than done. Might not make a BIG different, but sure would help.
3. Feed Your Ruminator
Whatever we spend time doing, thinking, and seeing in the 45 minutes before falling asleep is what our brains ruminate on throughout the night. So it’s to your advantage to feed it, the things you want to remember for the next day’s exam and not horror movie. You probably scare yourself awake in the middle of the day. Not something funny, or else you be very tired the next morning, cause you being laughing all night! Of course not something too sexy, or else you need to do laundry the next morning!! :P
4. Envisioning Your Success
Just before you drift off to sleep, create a picture of yourself successfully completing your exam. It’s most effective if you do it every night, but even one day before your exam could make a significant difference in creating better exam results.
5. Get A Good Night’s Sleep
You need your 7-8 hours of quality sleep to perform at your best. I being having quality sleep today too! But unfortunately I did not sleep at night. I napped! For those that going "What a lazy ass" well, A study at NASA on sleepy military pilots and astronauts found that a 40-minute nap improved performance by 34% and alertness 100%.
5 Things to do the morning before the exam
1. Eat Your Breakfast
Keep your body, mind and blood sugar in balance. You can always drink RED BULL!! The sugar free one. The non sugar free is too sweet. And try to hide your wings in the exam.
2. Do Light Exercise
Light exercise will help you feel good and energized, and help get more oxygen to your brain. Not very sure the definition of Light Exercise, maybe some Singapore Workout!! Dont what is a Singapore Workout? Nevermind, I believe some free ass around with do a post on that! :)
3. Do A Light Review
Glance through your exam preparation materials one more time, and do any last minute checks you feel you need.
4. Keep the Exam in Perspective
It’s just a test, not the end of life on this planet. Allow yourself to relax and let your worries go. But it is usually easier say than done.
5. Breathe
A lot of students tense up, and forget to breathe, or take shallow breaths. Be sure to breathe deeply from the diaphragm. This will help your muscles feel better and will help to clear your head and allow you to think better.
After my president, Francis wishes everyone luck. I would also wanted to end this post wishing everyone that read this post GOOD LUCK!!
So now you got DOUBLE LUCK!!
Zhiwei :)

QWERTY
No.. no.. no.. It is not because I drink too much red bull in such unproductive day that causes me to anyhow type the first 6 letter of my keyboard. It is neither because I finished my revision and start typing nonsense.
QWERTY is commonly referred to the design of the current keyboard. It makes no sense. It is awkward, inefficient and confusing. These arguments and complains has lasted for 124 years, but there it remains, un-alphabetically.
It is a design from Christopher Sholes. (I forgive his stupid idea, cause his family name is rather similar to a great football player). And the purpose of this design?? It is to slow down the typing speed of typist!! If you notice, very common letter such as “A”, “S”, “I” is located at position that reachable by your less strong fingers.
Why is he so evil? The design is intially for old traditional typewriters. When a key was pressed, a typebar would swing up to hit the paper from underneath. If the typist typed too fast, two typebars would crash and causes jams.
Definitely as technology advances, typewriter retires and computers took over. And the typebar crashes problem gown with the wind. But this design remains as it becomes a universal standard and many had got use to it!

Joke of the Day!!
The blog is dead for a while, so let me spark it off with a joke! :)
Stumpy and His Wife
Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the state fair every year. Every year Stumpy would say, Martha, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."
And every year Martha would say, "I know Stumpy, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
One year Stumpy and Martha went to the fair and Stumpy said, "Martha, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance."
Martha replied, "Stumpy, that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal, I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten dollars."
Stumpy and Martha agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word was heard. He did all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They landed and the pilot turned to Stumpy, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."
Stumpy replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

Singapore is the world's fastest walker!
I got this off CNN -> http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/05/02/walking.speeds/
People in the greatest hurry live in Singapore, according to the study of cities in 32 countries. Following in their footsteps are residents of Copenhagen in Denmark and Madrid in Spain.
Researchers in each city found a busy street with a wide pavement that was flat, free from obstacles and sufficiently uncrowded to allow people to walk at their maximum speed.
The speed of each city's walkers was then timed by a team researchers, armed with stopwatches.
They timed how long it took 35 men and women to walk along a 60-foot (18-meter) stretch of pavement, monitoring only adults who were on their own and ignoring those conducting mobile phone conversations or struggling with shopping bags.
The results of the study, headed by British psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman, were compared with similar results from a decade ago in an experiment carried out by American psychologist Professor Robert Levine, from California State University.
Wiseman said walking speeds provided a reliable measure of the pace of life in a city.
"This simple measurement provides a significant insight into the physical and social health of a city. The pace of life in our major cities is now much quicker than before. This increase in speed will affect more people than ever, because for the first time in history the majority of the world's population are now living in urban center," Wiseman said.
Here is a list, in order, of the cities ranked by the speeds at which people walk:
1) Singapore (Singapore)
2) Copenhagen (Denmark)
3) Madrid (Spain)
4) Guangzhou (China)
5) Dublin (Ireland)
I really can't believe how "kan cheong" (Singlish: anxious) we are la..
Must "up" others!
