Woot! Electrical tariffs up by 22%! Gahmen will be able to raise more revenue and build better infrastructure (better F1 tracks) to attract tourists=) Anyway, I find the figures that the average 4room household pays only around $100 abit too low for me to believe. Because I live in a 4room flat and I don't have aircon, neither do I leave my com on, neither do we switch on the lights unnecessarily, neither do we bath exceptionally long to drive up the heater bills and the only thing that's kept running is our refrigerator but still, the bill adds up to about $180. It's weird to see that even when we didn't do much change to our way of life, our bills can jump by such a big percentage even before the increase. I wonder what happens when the next bill comes. It'll probably go past $200 (the highest in my life so far in this house). I wonder next time when I have a house in Singapore without aircon, how high would my bills be? $400? (At the rate it's increasing, impossible is nothing)

F1? Fantastic1? I don't think so, it's not even exciting with only a few over takings occurring. It definitely isn't exciting and drivers unable to even overtake. I feel sad for Massa but the fuel incident made me realise how dangerous the job of the pit crews is. I feel sad for Hamilton as well because there was simply no room for him to overtake Rosberg no matter how hard he tried. While Alonso, before the match my sis was saying if he can go from 15th to 1st, he is the real pro. Yes he did, but in a rather drama situation. Oh well, a win is a win. Singapore's circuit is just typical of Singapore - Just follow lor (law).

Oh, F1's practice race is tonight. Don't really care though. Yesterday's newspaper had a comment by one of the journalists on pride of F1 (page3). I agree with his report that many do not really care about F1. Firstly, majority of people (including me) sees it as imaging and they are just going after the profits that the tourists would bring in. Locals are almost left out. Look at the $5 surcharge for taxis, I don't see the link, it's basically daylight robbing in my point of view. It's just ridiculous la, The kind of circuit that we have is testing the skill of the driver, not much of the speed of car though. And as what the report mentions, should a game of Man U vs Liverpool be telecast at the same as the F1, most would have chose to watch the former, agree? Agreed. After all, seeing 22men chasing for 1ball should be more interesting than watching few cars going over the same route 61times.

I feel like I just took JC1 promos, even then, it wasn't as bad. My physics is at all time low. My computing despite putting in the most effort scored just a pass. It's demoralising.

Just got back computing results, in 219 now because of my good timetable that allows so many breaks. Kind of demoralised by my computing results because it's the subject which I spend the most time on yet I only passed by 4marks. How am I going to take my A's like that?*sigh* Maths next, my only hopeful subject left.

People, there are some famous products made in China that should not and cannot be consumed. Here are the following, ice cream - magnum, walls, meiji. Candies - Milky boy, rabbit (大白兔奶糖). Take care, there are several others but I guess they are not consumed by majority so yup. Anyway, they have been ordered to be taken off the shelves of supermarkets=)

It's the end of a beginning! Or is it the beginning on an end? Anyway, it's over for now. *** Thursday, September 18, 2008
I find it unreasonable and illogical that ERP is used as a 'safety measure' for the longest underground tunnel in SE Asia. 16 ERPs within a 9km stretch. I think safety measures should be like asking cars not to drive below 50km/h or above 70km/h and like asking the cars not to switch lanes. I think there's no need for ERP because countries like Taiwan have did it for much longer stretch without a single ERP in the tunnel and yet the cars are able to travel in an orderly manner above the minimum speed. *** Wednesday, September 17, 2008
I finally found this on youtube. For those who haven't seen it on tv. *** Monday, September 15, 2008
Just had maths paper, I'm ok with the paper (not sure if the paper is ok with me). But just realised an error on my part for deciding to neglect the keyword! Question 10 part2 which ask for probability, on AVERAGE, males students spend more time on reading newspapers than female. I was comtemplating if I should use the bar. But I totally neglect it and I think it should cost me 4marks!!! *arghh* It's the 2nd time I made such a mistake, hopefully I'll learn. Winston has become stupid.

Saw on Today's Today that the F1 VP in charge of Singapore asked 10religious leaders to pray for safety. I didn't know Singapore has got so many religions to begin with=x But I'm more surprised that they actually did this kind of thing which many would consider superstitious. I'm not against it though, afterall it's better to believe than to doubt right? Oh well, I think not enough is been done to promote it in Singapore. It gives me the impression that Singapore isn't doing it for its citizens, more like for tourists revenue. Of course I know that's one of the objectives but I think that they have over emphasized it such that the locals don't even care if it's coming to Singapore at all. Not everyone is able to purchase the ticket in the first place because of the price. There are not much of like discounted tickets for Singapore citizens I believe, tell me if there is in the first place. *** Wednesday, September 10, 2008
I totally screwed up my physics paper3. I'm disappointed/sad/angry/irritated/annoyed/frustrated with myself. I've never done worst in a physics exam than this before. I don't know why, I think it's because I started physics too early for revision(1st few days of study break) and thus I forgot most of the stuff I learned. I didn't practice any paper. I don't know what to say, my mind was a blank, I just stare at the questions and leave it blank. Perhaps I'm too tired to think? My mind wasn't well rested I would say because I woke up feeling very tired. But that shouldn't have affected as much as not studying hard enough. So yeah, I have not studied hard enough. Paper3 is over 80marks, I probably attempted 50+ marks with a lot of cancellations and half filled answers. Tomorrow is econs essay, it will be worse given that I only spent 1day to study during the break. My prelims is screwed, A's most likely screwed since prelims is a gauge of what you will get for A's and the paper wasn't tough, it was doable so I guess I've a lot to do after my prelims.

Valet parking services are banned at Holland village even after they have been there for so long. They will be replaced by new electronic parking system which you see pretty frequently nowadays almost everywhere. This means that there is no more free parking on Sundays nor Public Holidays. I would say our government is 'good' as they shift the attention to road usage. Look at it this way: *** Monday, September 08, 2008
Maths was mad, GP? As usual, Go Pray
