Best of Luck

Hey Everyone! :)

This week is the 2nd week of exams for most of us, for some, it might be the last. Anyway, I wish to say GOOD LUCK to everyone, especially to final year student (like me :P). The wishing is late for a week but nothing can compare to the Chinese New Year photos! I know I know.. I think a lot of people is gonna kill me for that delay, but I promise (thou my promise is getting worthless), I will get the photo up after my exams! :):)

Anyway, those non final year students if you still have not settle on your accommodation next year.. Well you better start worrying. Fortunately, we got a very nice sponsor for Singsoc. People who wish to find a good house for next year do visit him. Mr Guraya. More information at click -->> HERE <<--

Let it snow!~ Let it SNOW!~ LET IT SNOW!!~

People in Birmingham!!! If you never notice, it just hail moments ago! So what is hail and why it hails?

Hail is only produced by CUMULONIMBI. If you pay attention in your geography class, your teacher will surely mention cumulonimbi. It is, in English, thunderclouds. It occurs when dust, insects (INSECTS!! JUS IMAGINE A COCKROACH IN HAIL!!), or ice crystals freezes into ice balls when contact with supercooled water. Supercooled water are water that is below freezing point but remains in liquid state. And you can find plenty within the cumulonimbi! The updraft will bring the ice balls up into the clouds. The more supercooled water it contacts, the larger it is! And when the updraft cannot support its weight, you will see ice cubes falling from the sky!

Raincoat is useless against these falling ice cubes, that why smart people buy umbrella! So this is the million dollar question!! Is hailing a sign of snowing??

Well, hail is actually a form of snowing! Snow forms if the air in a cloud is below freezing. The water vapour then turns to ice instead of rain and the tiny ice crystals stick together until they form snowflakes. When they get heavy enough to fall, they drop out of the clouds. At this point though, we still don’t know whether they will end up as rain or remain as snow. This depends on the temperature of the air they travel through on the way down to the ground. If it gets warmer, they turn into rain, but if the air stays close to freezing all the way down, then the snowflakes will make it without melting and so fall as snow.

What I can say is that if it is cold enough to hail, it might be cold enough to snow! And maybe, it is snowing everytime!! But it reaches us as rain. :)

Freshers' Talk by British Council

Dear all, there'll be a talk from British Council on 11 August 2007! more updates soon!

Joke of the Day!!

A woman and a man driver are involved in a horrific collision, but amazingly both escape completely unhurt, though their cars are written off.

As they crawl out of the wreckage, the man sees the woman is blonde and strikingly beautiful. Then the woman turns to the man and gushes breathily: "That's incredible - both our cars are demolished but we're fine. It must be a sign from God that we are meant to be together!"

Sensing a promise, the man stammers back, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely!"

The woman goes on, "And look, though my car was destroyed, this bottle of wine survived intact, too! It must be another sign. Let's drink to our love!"

"Well, OK!" says the man, going with the moment. She offers him the bottle, so he downs half of it and hands it back. "Your turn," says the man.

"No, thanks," says the woman, "I think I'll just wait for the police."

Three couples

Three couples want to join a church, but the pastor has a rule that all new members must go three weeks without having sex.

Three weeks go by and the first couple comes back. The pastor says, "So how did it go?"

"It was pretty hard, but we made it," says the first couple.
"Well, welcome to our church," says the pastor.

The second couple comes back and the pastor asks them the same question. Their reply is the same as the first couple's.

The third couple comes back and the pastor asks them the same question, and they reply, "Well, we were doing pretty well until last night when she bent over to pick up that can of pork and beans and I just put it to her."

"Well, I'm sorry, but you're not welcome to our church," says the pastor.

"That's okay," says the third couple, "We're moving. We're not welcome at the grocery store either."

This post is posted so tat we won't be able to see the lousy post below by our damn free president. Due to much complain by winter serenity about the post....its Summer soon!







Everyone gather ur summer beach wear n lets party!

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!
