Dinner & Dance + Class Party

Hi all,

Dinner & Dance (3rd december)!!!
Here are the prices for a single hotel room nearby marriott for those who are interested to either make up/ dress up there before heading down to DnD or/and coming back to marriott, change and go out to play/club, then come back and sleep (or play somemore! like play bridge or smth). If we play till very late after DnD, there would prolly be no mrt back home or cab would be very expensive. You might as well spend the transport money home on a hotel room. Plus, it'd be quite spirit-dampening if you have to go back home straightaway after the event. That's why some of you may consider having a place to serve as 'base camp'. LOL. Okay anyway whether we decide to book anot depends on response okie. If there's too little people sharing then we'd not book. :(

Please Take Note:
-prices here are not inclusive of 7% GST & 10% service charge
-these are total price for one room and not for one person. LOL
-the final bill will be split among those who share the room
-The check-in time is 2.00pm on 3rd dec. Check out is 12.00pm on 4th dec.
-ALL the hotels do NOT allow more than 2 people in a room but they are not very strict with it in a way. so we might have to enter or leave discreetly and of course, (try to) not make too much noise.. :P

Marriott Hotel $430 per night (5 stars)- fully booked so only deluxe room avail
Meritus Mandarin $250 per night (5 stars)
Park Hotel Orchard $238 per night (4 stars)
The Elizabeth $220 per night (4 stars)
Pan Pacific Orchard $285 per night (5 stars) -THERE'S DISCOUNT NOW! IT USED TO BE $355!
Orchard Hotel $305 per night (5 stars)
Grand Hyatt $400 per night (5 stars)- NEAREST to marriott

That's about it. Those who are keen to share a room, please leave a tag or msg me (Jalene) ASAP stating which hotel you wanna stay at. We'll then see the response, calculate the costs and see whether its worth it to book a room.

To classmates not going for DnD, don't have to share the room (unless you wanna stay in it), we'll meet y'all up after DnD for supper/clubbing/walk around or smth! (:

Latest Update!: Shereen's mum can get corporate rates for booking hotel room and marriott is now 280+ per night only! Reply me ASAP if you wanna share! YAY!

Currently these are the people who replied and are interested in sharing (if it's cheap) : Xiqing, Nat, Shereen, Jalene, Zoe

Class Party
We're thinking of a BBQ+mahjong+karaoke+wii party to celebrate the end of the A levels! and of course, our beloved november/december babies birthdayys!!!

Venue: Jalene's house (at siglap road, nearest mrt kembangan/bedok), near ECP! That is, we save money and hassle on having to book a chalet and bbq pit :P -UNLESS of course, i don't really mind if you wanna pay me money. :D
Dates: Anyday between 25november- 9december, except 3dec (DnD)

-Please tag/msg me the dates you are NOT free between the above stated dates.
-Y'all can stayover/shower here if you want. My parents are okay with it.
-There's NTUC at bedok interchange so we could buy our BBQ stuff from there and take a short bus-ride to my house.
-ECP is nearby so we can go blading/cycling the next day if y'all stayover.
-I have a big (and fat)dog but don't be scared, Romeo's very very nice. :D

OKAY, that's all.

p/s: reply me asap! It's ASAP! Pls be nice and reply AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. LOL! especially the hotel rooms thing if you're going for DnD.. because shereen's mum is doing us a favour by helping us and she would need time to book!!

going the Lehman way

and so it seems my state of unemployment has been accepted by the amigos, who passed me the box to pack my things.

since it is too tiny to fit everything, i shall throw your scripts into the bonfire instead, to help you in your attempt to smoke me.

i am no longer marking your papers because i have lost my comparative advantage. all because my pen is smaller (mine is on the right for scale).

uni may not be such a good idea after all

hi everyone

wondering if anyone's still reading this blog. if you are, please take note of the format for your geog paper. i thought you guys should be quite familiar with it because i've told you before but a quick check with two 36-ers today confirmed the fact that you are a class of dory fishes.

Section A: 4 DRQs of which the last one will be a combination of two topics. All are compulsory. (50 marks)

Section B: There will be 6 essay questions altogether, 2 from each topic (either, or). Your job is to choose two out of these six and write two logical, organised essays with a wealth of examples. You are not allowed to choose to do both from the same topic.

So that's 4 DRQs and 2 essays to do in 3h. Please ensure you take about 22.5 minutes for each DRQ and 45 minutes for each essay. That will add up to 3h.

Don't stress now! Remember to relax, take deep breaths and calm yourself down. after all, what's the whole big deal about uni? i wouldn't want to have your imagination crushed into dust! and what's the whole point of using jargon when nobody understands a thing? :p

ok? so in your own words, just chill.

love,
ms h

it's cool to be nerdy

here's a movie related to geog, well vaguely, so make sure you watch this AFTER 16 sept.

thank you everyone for turning up last friday, and also for your cards and gifts. all the headache, heartache and earache i've suffered were all worth it :)

hope the revision's going okay. it'll be all over soon, trust me.

PLEASE COMPLETE YOUR TRAVEL DECLARATION AT IVLE 8 ASAP! only one person has done so, as of last friday.

love,
ms h

a long one from the long person

hello 36-ers,

i guess now's the time when all your noses are buried deep in your books/notes so this blog will probably go dead for a while! now that's a good thing so let's keep it that way :) in the meantime, i will try to keep it alive with your generation type of jokes- as you can see with the above attempt (which made it smile too so guess i'm not that old).

just want to say thank you for attending the 2h tutorial on friday. i hadn't realised i'd cannibalised your lunch break - now why didn't you tell me, we could have started later! i won't mind a break myself from my 5h marathon. BUT (so as not to disappoint those amongst you who roll your eyes at my negativity :p), the cynical ms h in me wants to say hunger's a good thing because it keeps you awake.

in other news, here's an example of murphy's law: i've been waiting whole morning for it to rain so i can hang my laundry out after the sky's done with all those rain clouds. by 130pm, the clouds were still gathering but there was just NO rain. so i decided alright, if the weather is so bent on playing a joke on me - i hung out my clothes and ta-dah, it's now raining. the other incarnation of this weather prank is when i fervently apply sunblock to go outdoors and then it'll definitely rain when i'm out, happened 8 out of 10 times (didn't happen for the national day connecting hearts event).

now that it's raining, i can't quite go out for my dose of endorphins either. haven't exercised in a week and it's really affecting my mood. so the next time you feel absolutely grumpy (like me now), make sure you go out there and have a good workout - dancing around madly to your favourite music counts too, as long as you work up a sweat. or perhaps you can offer to vacuum the entire house, which will also earn you some points with your parents.

i'm just done setting the questions for the-thing-that-shall-not-be-named too. are they difficult? well, here's my PC answer: it's only difficult if you don't study :p

and the one thing that i want to say (which i have saved to the last): with us 2 months and 6 days away from the-thing-that-shall-not-be-named, i'm very sure now that i will definitely miss you guys when it's time to say goodbye.

*cue soppy sentimental music....until zowie decides this is not 36's style and cuts in with her funky music*

ok. study hard. i won't get to say this in 3 months' time so let me get my money's worth now. study hard study hard study smart.

love,
ms h

health advisory - epidemic alert!

hi everyone

please drink more water, include fruits and veggies in your diet and maybe it's time to start popping those vitamic C pills! take your fruits half an hour before food or an hour after food for maximum absorption (no kidding). adequate rest (at least 6-7hours) is recommended. burning the midnight oil now only to fall ill later is unwise.

the zowie virus is on the loose so do take the necessary precautions against this powerful bug.

number of casualties so far: 4 absentees today [while yesterday's absentee waved goodbye to his perfect attendance record :)]

love,
ms h
