hey guy, lets hav a chalet outing again!! downtown east again?? or do u prefer at sentosa tis time?? since its aft our exams, let hav a 3D2N chalet. e earliest possible date would be aft 11sept, which is aft sec sch holidays, if not it would be too crowded b4 then. fine with u guys?? dont worry bout wat we can do wen we der, i could plan lots of things to play around, as long as everyone come for the gathering.

i check e website, tis time got no promo for sept since der isnt any special events and its jus 1 wk sch holidays for those sec sch. so e cost still run quite a bomb. but as long as everyone come for e chalet, e cost may jus be ranging from $10-$20 or less. we always hav someone missing from all e outing we had b4, pls make tis time diff, everyone must come!

pls tag ppl. i will check e things again.

2006-05-09T21:27:00.000+08:00

hi din here. since no one bothered to update.. i'll volunteer. haha. anyway. you don't have to blog an entry which concerns the interest of everyone in the class la. it can be your own recount.. or how's life in TP been for you after you left 1b20.. something like that?

for me.. it's been a struggle.. due to the CDS. my rants are all over my blog. you can check it out. well i regret taking arts appreciation. haha. but nvm. many of us are having a hard time too. I think we dont have adequate time. Gerald and I are on the same boat.. cutting wood for the mosaic (probably the wrong choice). and perhaps trying to switch to paper here and there wherever possible. For leadership.. it's been bad as well. because the deadlines almost overlap with arts. so it's like double the work. haven't had much time to even update my own blog...

and oh. my class is great and so is my new project group.. any of you remember Ms Lim Pek Lin? our POM leadership lecturer last time who dragged and dragged giving loads of examples.. she's my APEL tutor! haha. Our finance and marketing teacher rocks.. but I haven't seen much of the HR teacher enough to judge.. so far so good. Study hard ah you all. Don't be a slacker like me! haha Laters!

Love,
Dinaysh

2006-04-21T17:59:00.000+08:00

ATTENTION ALL BUSINESS STUDENTS.. dun forget we have to sign up for one more cds for this sem. go to the vbus main page ( http://vbus-elearning.tp.edu.sg/vbus/ ) to learn how to do so. choose wisely and dun ruin our slack timetables. to the marketing and lom students, sorry for taking up some space.

and ya... we muz have class gatherings ok.

all the breast this coming sem and may projects kill u all!

hohoho

ongoi ongoi... dinesh here. remember that time after sem 1 was done and over with. we were like, "this is the end of 1b20"... unaware that we were destined to be together for a whole year. now it's really over... aww. gerald ah. i was just reading your post (the previous one) and not until i saw "lets add oil for exams!" did I realise it was posted on 12th feb. lol so long ago. eh why nobody posted a "finale" post?... that's strange. too busy celebrating ah? .. take some time off and attend to our blog cuz i miss the funny posts. lol. let me post a tribute to 1b20. sorry it won't have the funny essence. im not gerald. lol.

now I don't wish to bring up exam related headaches, but I hope all of you have done your best. Wish you all the best for the results. (well, if it's applicable.) I seriously almost broke down studying for exams, yet I know I didn't do my best. staying up to watch soccer and stuff before BA/OB exam. hahah... it's over so glad, so glad... let us rejoice. so how many people are really happy to leave 1b20?. this song I uploaded sometime back "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" by Elvis is really stirring up a miserable mood.. lol i've changed it to "Metaphor" by In Flames, a Melodic-Death-Metal band. this is one of their more mellow songs. Quite different from their normal style... it's only an excerpt (0:32 to 3:01). don't like pls tell me

hmm one thing i can't guarantee myself next year is.. a good group. i mean seriously. sarah, stef, eugene and so on.. power group man. thanks for all the results in sem 1 as well as this. We formed in POM lesson i think. when val tong told us to get in groups. and I got lucky with the grouping too. heh. Now it's time for us to adjourn as well as all the otha groups. let us forgive each other for whatever controversy or irritation they have evoked. forgive doesnt mean forget. lol.

Aww man.. end of our class means no more....
1) gossipping about the iraq boy anymore during lecture
2) making fun of iraq's girlfriend and the indian small-shirt fella
3) peeking at the emotionless girl (for me and eug)
4) crapping about mushroom head
5) insulting the noisy china girls (and their one-eyed eyeliner)
6) not to forget that "lao su" or some nickname you gave that guy..
7) aaron's crappings during OB tutorial
8) playing helicopter/4wd and blogging during nair's lesson
9) crapping about leong's "ASS ME" and all his other mispronunciations
10) deciding where to go to eat lunch together between/after lessons =(
11) for sarah: No more "Wake me up tmr can?"

ok enough... anyway. my blog's gone. cuz diary-x's drive is irrecoverable . the admin got no face to start diary-x again so it's gonna be gone. i asking him to start diary-x again haha (cuz i like diary-x features and interface). if not ill just take this as my reporting place from now. enjoy your hols, thanks and take care 1b20... hope to see you around next year.

semester 2 has ended! we r gona get out of our freshman year! so fast right. let's have a quick flashback on the glorious acheivements and memorable moments of 1b20!

we had mr simon seah as our microecons tutor! wat an acheivement! ruined my semester only! oh ya we learnt as a class how to have our every penny worth when buying CAI FAN! (rice with dishes, nasi padang).

We keep on pontanging MBS lectures!

OB presentation skits were well done!

We were the slackest bunch of business guides in the tp open house!

Zhiting said the word SUX during her OB presentation.

Layyi doesnt wait for peisian anymore at the overhead bridge.

Priya's groups' skit was supposed to be based on a lost ring, but who knew, the ring was REALLY lost!

Aaron said F**k during OB lesson and got away with it.

Nair grew more hair (i think).

Valerie tong is a nice woman.

Leong got Melissa's name right.

Many tutors addressed priya as 'HIMA' and got her fuming mad.

Priya works at changi airport macdonalds and uses Maybeline makeup.

Keat ru and Melissa were featured on this month's issue of Lime.

Stephanie permed her hair.

Eugene and dinesh didn't cut their hair.

Felicia grew a moustache.

Pinhua and Wingyan were not so lame anymore (thank god!)

Diana topped BA class test again.

Hamizah is still crazy over singapore idol champ... now wats his name again?

Sherry got her dream cds but wasnt very happy coz she didnt get a pure jap tutor.

Sarah kept copying econs lecture points when they were already printed in her notes.

Elena is still as bubbly and cheerful, and she's the only one who brings BA testbook for tutorials.

Tze Shuen has a dream of dying his hair. he is working towards his goal.

Joyce kana saboed by priya by saying that she is lag.

Ethan started a new blog a couple of months ago but it has no entires yet.

PeiSian's rebonding is beginning to curl, starting frm her fringe.

Vivien wears quotations.

Gerald still sux hoho!

so many acheivements! i'm so proud of all of us.
lets add oil for exams!
hoho,
gerald

HARLOW DAWGS!

yes it is unbelievable, its amazing, its EUGENE WANG THE GREAT'S inaugaral post!
hohoho bow down or die!

k. anyways, school has been cat shit for all of us here
mainly cos of ACCESS and OB. Well mbs project just ended today and the burden has been lifted.
however, there's still the dreaded OB and mircoecons waiting for us
as for me, i haven even started on my damn french project.
sacre bleu.

following up on Dinesh the gay's post, yes its nearing the end of year 1 in just this super short time
i just seems like a few months back that i've just finished o levels and wasting my life away for that few months on crack and shit.
haha.
though some people may feel sad cos of the separation of your ever lovely 1B20, i, for myself, REJOICE!
why? because i can finally get a taste of real CHICKS. bwahahahaha
no lar just kidding, mainly because im finally going into MARKETING, the best course in the world. shuttup business students. you suck. period bwahahah

and just like dinesh suggested, i think we should go for dinner after our exams and shit
few good places i recommend; if you want cheap, we can go to lagoon at ECP.
food there is shiok and cheap and after eating you can sit at this perfect breakwater/cliff for hours by the shore and see the stars and lights with the wind flying through you hair.
sounds just like the perfect scenario uh? well it is to me heh

there's the seafood centre just nearby it too if you want. its nice and affordable and filling

another place we go to is HOOTERS. LOL. at clarke quay.
if you dont know what that is, well basically its a very well known american resturant which recently just opened its outlet here.
the special thing about Hooters is that ALL thier waitresses have big boobs and hugh jasses in super mini tops and shorts.
thats a requirement for them to join haha.
UNFORTUNATELY the girls in SG arent that "healthy", so you can just look at their asses.
hahahahha

or we could just sit outside any 7-11 and buy cup noodles and beer.

well that concludes the end of EUGENE WANG THE GREAT'S first post.
please do not cry.
and please crave for more.
chiao, im off to do my OB roleplay

2006-01-14T12:28:00.000+08:00

yoyoyoyo..
Dinesh in lab 2 here
decided to spice things up on this half-dead blog..altho im quite sure not many would have time to come read and all.. okay so summary of this term..

basically has been fucked up.. compressed everything into how many weeks.. but ok we are all squeezing through somehow... cant wait fer year 2 yeah?..proper term.. & the once fake quote "Poly is slack" will once again come alive.. for BUS students.. 3 core subjects.. have fun guys.. for marketing students like eugene.. its finally CHICKS..

and also a change of song was requested.. understandable.. sorry to felicia and whoever if you guys have abandoned the blog.. i've uploaded "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" by Elvis Presley and getting to my next point...

I thought maybe at the end of year 1.. we could all go out for a dinner at clarke quay or something.. food there is so shiok.. vivian those ppl can have their cocktails.. then can sit by the river.. after that can jalan jalan here and there.. overall price per person shud be 20+ or 30 for a good eat.. only problem is space but go after 9+ shud have enuf space.. so most probably like clique outing.. so what do you guys think? I mean.. im sick of fast food you know.. im sure most of you are.. or maybe we could go to a cheaper restaurant somewhere else huh.. i wanna check out dining places!

hello guys, it's ME again! it's been a long time and i'm finally here again to report some latest news! well first thing's first. next tues afternoon is the selection of our diplomas. it's at 10am in the morning. good news for us, we r still at home during tt time on tuesdays as we only start sch at 1pm! so pls kin kin make ur selections coz the third factor of deciding whether u get into the diploma of ur choice anot depends on the time u submit ur application. it closes on 2nd dec. the results will be out on 8dec. but i duno whether it will be online or wat. all i know is 8dec the results will be out.

and there r exhibitions outside LT21 from today till friday to let u know more abt the diplomas. (if u seriously hadn't noticed). u can also go to http://www-bus.tp.edu.sg/ and under 'diplomas,' u will be able to find out more abt the career opportunities and subject modules.

and our next yr academic calendar is out! it seems that for next yr onwards, our term break will be 2 weeks instead of 1 week. the reason y this yr is 1 week is bcoz they wana bring forward the start of poly to april, so those cheapopos cut our precious holidays.

*click on image to enlarge*

and one more thing, ethan has suggested 2 things.

1) christmas gift exchange! means every1 will buy presents within a specific price range and then we shall exchange them within our class!

2) a pre-christmas class dinner on the last day of our mid sem test paper.

well, if u dun like the idea of 1), at least try to make it for 2). ethan has been a fantastic class rep, so let's work with him alright? of coz i'm not forcing u, the final decision still lies with u guys.

tts all folks! oh ya good luck for fri morning's tutorial.

hohoho,
gerald

2005-11-17T23:42:00.000+08:00

hey peeps, i hav an idea. do u ppl wan a pre-christmas gathering?? rite aft our mid sem exams. we could each buy 1 gift n exchange among us. of cos, no choosing of e gift. do it by picking lots. n we could go out 4 lunch or dinner as well. any comments??

-ethan

2005-11-17T19:06:00.000+08:00

I AM HERE TO HAUNT ALL OF U! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

2005-11-02T22:46:00.000+08:00

hello, here to update on some tp issues. our next sem timetable will be out on 4nov (fri) at 10am. so for now, u all dun have to be so gan jiong. but if u wan u can try ur luck and log in b4 10am on fri morning coz most of the time these kinda things will be released earlier than the stated time.

all tutorials will begin from week 2 onwards except comm skills (if any but i doubt we'll have), and our cds. means for our cds, we will have the tutorial starting from week 1. for the rest of the subjects, we will only have our tutorials frm week 2 onwards. lectures will go on as usual starting from week 1. that's all the impt info u guys need to know. and pls do not spread this info to ur frens frm OTHER COURSES. this info is strictly for BSG students only.

let me end off with a HAPPY-4-MORE-DAYS-OF-FUN-BEFORE-SCHOOL-STARTS greeting. tkc and i will see u guys in one piece in 5 days time.

hohoho,
gerald

2005-10-29T12:19:00.000+08:00

was just thinking whether you guys still wanna play angel mortal..maybe this time we play it differently ? =) my 2 cents worth :

it's still be the same rules. but this time, the angel gets to choose who he or she wants to "bless". however, the angel must do something nice for someone different every week. so by the end of the term which is 7 weeks, you would have "blessed" 7 different people ! so every monday we'll have the exchange thingy and reveal the past week's angel. or maybe we'd make it mysterious and let the angel remain anonymous forever. =p suggestions ? =)

1B20 News-in-Demand

editor's note
Hello and welcome to the special holiday edition of 1b20 news. There has been a lot of speculation and confusion regarding a change of class next semester. The reason why this is so, is because many of you did not attend the class chalet, and you missed a first hand interview with our very own care-person, miss tan ee ling. All i can say is... OBI GOOD! but of course, our top class news coverage will never fail to enlighten you. so for this special edition, our news correspondent, Gerald, will sacrifice himself for an interview with the director of tp.

Gerald: Good morning, how has life changed for u after marriage?
Director: Sorry but i do not take personal questions.

Gerald: Alright then, lets move on to the next question. there has been much speculation about the changing of classes recently. some say that the whole class will split, others begged to differ. what's your say on this issue?
Director: i would like to say this once and for all. do not listen to your seniors saying that the whole class will split up. yes, in the past, the whole class did split up, but due to students' negative feedback, the new FAST system for tp has looked into the situation and came up with a new academic progression system. all students who have clear passes (pass all subjects) will most likely remain in the same class next semester. that's all the information i am able to provide you for now.

Gerald: then what about our CDS?
Director: if you all remain in the same class, u will all be having same tutorial groups for all subjects, except for your CDS. the class will only split up and move into separate tutorial groups at the time of the CDS.

Gerald: What if the CDS tutorials clashes with our other subjects' tutorials? i mean we are all taking different CDS but we have the same common class timetable for our other subjects, so how will you solve this matter?
Director: Yes, this is where a major part of our decision making process comes in. the management has decided to give top priority to letting you all remain in the same class. this means you have to sacrifice your CDS. if your 1st choice CDS' tutorial clashes with your class timetable, we will not give you that CDS, and instead, we will move on with your 2nd choice... so on so forth.
(example: if muthusamy chose french as his 1st choice and he is able to get in, but his class' timetable clashes with the CDS tutorial/lecture, he will not be allowed to take french and instead, he will be posted to another CDS of his choice.)
Your CDS is the opportunity cost for remaining in the same class next semester.

Gerald: Oh my, such wise words. Thank you for your time.
Director: You're welcome, it was my pleasure.

HEY PPL!!! BY REQUEST OF GERALD, I GOT US 1 SPECIAL GUEST 4 OUR CHALET. MS TAN EE LING IS COMING!!!

2005-09-30T22:09:00.000+08:00

Hey guys! this coming monday is the chalet! check-in time is 2-3pm like that and check out next day is 1030am. the cost is $59, so if more of our classmates come, the cost per person will of coz be reduced. so try to get ur "clicks" to come for the chalet, it'll mean a lot to us. elena will take the trouble to calculate the cost per person and all that. when monday draws near, she will also infm u guys abt the meeting time. i will be down late coz i have work, but i will definitely try my very best to make it for dinner. haha and if u can, stay. chalet wun have any meaning if all of u come and go home then leave the place empty. haha. okok till then, tkc and c ya all!
and to elena: thanks a lot and sorry for the trouble.

-gerald

Hello guys! it has been done. the date has been fixed, the venue has been booked. on the 3rd and 4th of october, we'll create some hell in downtown east. check in time would be 2-3pm in the afternoon and check out time would be 1030am in the morning. elena will update us on the meeting time again. anyway, all activities have not been decided yet, so pls do not ask. we really duno wat to do, so its better that on the actual day itself we will decide as a class. dinner will be anything but bbq. coz we didnt book a bqq pit. anyway bbq-ing would be a waste of time and money and nobody will be full eventually. so y dun we feast at some place (to be decided on the day itself too).

we booked a deluxe room! with an Xbox console! song bo! so xbox gamers, bring ur ORIGINAL xbox games and we'll have a fun time in the room. anyway the chalet is really small so pls dun mind. haha $59 only wat, so dun expect king koil spring matresses and golden toilet bowls. but we do have PAR KUEK flooring. we'll see the turnout on that day and settle the finances.

anyway, if its possible, we'll try to invite miss tan ee ling. pray that she wun be busy dating guys. haha

for now, sit back and wait for more news.

LATEST NEWS ON CLASS CHALET

due to the latest promotion on the ntuc downtown east chalet ($59nett per nite), we have decided to hold a 2D1N class gathering. it will take place on the 3rd and 4th of october. if u have read the earlier notice saying that the class gathering will be on 25/26sept, pls forget abt tt. its now on the 3rd and 4th of october. It's our last gathering, so it will be good if all of u can cooperate and come. if u have any work committments, u can still come after ur work coz its a chalet and i guarantee we wun sleep early at all.. or worse still we wun even sleep haha. pls RSVP to us as soon as u r able to provide an answer. even if u cant make it, it will be appreciated that u also let us know. u may sms us or tag in the tagboard.

thanks!

-elena and gerald

2005-09-19T10:24:00.000+08:00

dun assume anything too fast yet. there is a problem if we were to have our chalet on the 30th and 1st of oct. the promo for the downtown east chalet cannot be booked on a fri and sat. 30th is a fri, so it doesnt stand. any other suggestions? pls post on the blog instead of flooding the tagboard.

-gerald

2005-09-16T10:19:00.000+08:00

okay down to two. wildx2 wet and escape. pick one you prefer ! [ i think most of you would be okay with anything ] =)

dinner wanna go seoul garden ? i'll check out the price for dinner.

-elena

2005-09-15T08:52:00.000+08:00

okie. after much deliberation, or not. =p is 26 september an auspicious day for us to gather once again to experience the spirit 1b20 ? it's a monday. any violent objections ? =s feel free to comment ! they're very much needed. =)

so how...where should we go...should i narrow the options into packages ? like tour like that then i state out estimated price per person for the whole outing. how's that ? =s would it be easier to decide ? coz i'm sure some people would be reluctant to go certain places but we need a consensus.

thanks ! =)

-elena

2005-09-09T09:59:00.000+08:00

heya ! just checking.

rates for chalets are pretty expensive, ranging between $150-$200 per night. for the budget-conscious, these prices are a little too steep. was thinking if we could do something else instead like perhaps visit escape or wildx2 wet and end the day with dinner together.

wildx2 wet $12.90
escape $16.50
jurong east swimming complex $1.50 (rental of floats for the whole day is about $4 i think)
sentosa click here for the promotions

anyone game for the zoo ? =p
singapore zoological gardens $15.00

possible dinner venues
pizza hut, any other fast-food restaurants, sakae sushi and the other buffet restaurants. seoul garden ?

total expenditure for a day would be around $25-$50 i think. please feel free to post your views, comments and suggestions ! =D

SOS! CLASS CHALET PLANS NEEDED! ETHAN! HELP!

Yesterday marked the end of our class exams. it was such a relief. Many complaints here and there abt the papers, but dun worry, as long as we pess, there's nth we need to worry abt.

2005-08-26T20:18:00.000+08:00

Aloha! Yesterday marked the end of the 1st semester of our poly life. and we all could not have gotten a better start than being in 1b20. so thank u all, and best wishes for the future. Tis will be my last news report. due to the change of classes, i am sort of... erm.. sacked. how sad.

So, since it's the last entry, no harm making it abit longer right? haha let us look back at all the acheivements of 1b20.

business ambassador: yep, miss elena cheong got into tp's business ambassador club (i duno wat is it called la). she will be representing tp's business sch to go for god-knows-what. but, wat a great acheivement. she sure succeeded in selling donuts! who will forget her everlasting smile and enthusiasm in all activities and her never-say-die attitude. kudos!

capt's ball: who can forget the captains ball competition. we played hard, and we won!! i mean we won in the first half. but ended up losing by 1 point eventually. but still, we won the 1st half. congrats. we took our defeat in our strides, and it paid off! u know y? coz we only lost by 1 point. and we were chosen to be a wlidcard team! means the next day we all will come back to play with 3 other teams. 1 will be selected to proceed to the next round. its something like the singapore idol's wildcard. so the next day we came back, and we played again. and u wun believe wat happened! it was such a miracle! such a glorious moment! within 24hrs, we did something that not many capt's ball team could have done. we erm... lost twice. yeah, but look on the bright side, only 2 teams lost twice in the 24hrs, and we were one of them! whohoo!

karaoke competition: melvin did us proud by reaching the finals of the karaoke competition in tp! *claps*. he was top 10. how great. of the millions of students in tp, he got in to the top 10! although he lost in the finals, his vocals will always be remembered. its not easy to win, as only 1 winner will be picked out of the 10 contestants. but as a prize for being a finalist, he got 10 karaoke vouchers. each voucher is entitled to 4hrs of free singing! yeah.. so every1, i hope u all know wat to do during the study break! go flirt with him abit alright. touch his thighs or something. make him feel at home. and if he is satisfied, he might jus bring all of us to sing karaoke after the exams! *hint hint*

ccn day: it was a huge success!! we earned an approximate 40000 (yes, ur eyes r not playing tricks... its 40000!!!!!) cents of profit. my sincere gratitude to all those who helped to bake, sell, and decorate. not forgetting, ethan bought a balloon for his gf fang! pheeeeweeeet! i actually wanted him to buy the balloon for me, but he refused. oh well, i cant possibly force him to love me.

Lastly, the angel mortal game: a big thank u to the angel mortal committee (made up of melvin and elena) for bringing such class spirit by having this game played. it strengthened us and gave a few of us shocking moments when we found out who our angels were. it was such a pleasure being to nice to each other. This is one activity we will never forget.

There has been much speculation abt the changing of classes. some say all split up, some say only those who nv do well will be spilt up. but lets jus hope for the best. no one wans to leave this class. but of coz, for now, lets jus take it tt we r gona split up. b4 we leave this class, let us all forgive and forget each others wrongdoings and mistakes. it will be such a great feeling to leave this class as pure virgins again, having no hatred and no one hating u as well.

if it is possible, y dun we keep the last day of our exams (which is 7sept) free? coz after our paper, we can all go gaigai and makan ah! steady bo? it will be an unofficial thing, but i hope it will be made a reality. if u all r willing to go, dinner will be my treat! im serious. i will treat u all to dinner. but of coz, i treat.... u all pay. =p

Finally, our angel mortal committee has requested that you guys keep coming back to this blog even after our exams to check out any information regarding any holiday outings. they have planned to open a 2D 1N chalet. so it will be good if we can provide them with certain information like which dates we cannot make it for the chalet. this is to ensure that they do not have a headache when they need to contact us and it will be more convenient for them. pls cooperate regarding this matter, thanks!

I will end it here, but how can i forget the ever so famous quote of the day? Be prepared for double trouble! They r, no doubt, the nicest gentlemen, and we r honoured to have had their guidance.

Quote of the day: 'a spycam is good, so that we will be able to monitor wat a child is doing. a child will probably eat pencils or eat his toys'

'Remember these words no matter where u may be: Unconscious Incompetence, Conscious Incompetence, Conscious Competence... and Unconscious Competence'

Take care 1b20, u will be dearly missed.
hohoho

2005-08-11T14:09:00.000+08:00

guess who's back? back again... coz it feels so empty without me.

to start off, our nation celebrated our 40th birday! the parade was a blast with the suave looking nathan inspecting the parade. lee kuan yew is balding real bad, whereas ppl like goh chok tong and my all time fav dr tony tan had the best hairstyle for men: THE CURRY POK. they were smart ppl, they know the padang got strong wind and will blow their hair back, so they gel it backwards. no wonder they can join the govt. then the show started with a skit telling us how Sang Nila Utamade found singapore. but they didnt mention how stupid he was by mistaking a tiger for a lion.. like which idiot wun know the diff? maybe he kay siao one, he wana name singapore lion city so he can go across the straits and call malaysia the tiger city. oh well.. politics.

Last week's BA tutorial was a flop, only 8-9 ppl turned up. but oh well, leong only smiled i think. but i'd rather he not smile, makes him look so chi ko pek.

we jus finished our pom presentation. every1 was so shagged preparing for it. and i muz say im very impressed with priya's chinese! she was so nan unai katha leek-a-rain (however u spell it). i was expecting hamizah to speak tamil and shawn to speak malay, but oh wells. comm skills dateline tmr. poly life is starting to suck. i was thinking of going into the diploma of business but then i thot of taking BA i sian liao. LOM pay high, but i duno i can tahan the course anot, im not cut out for logistics. by the time i delvier the goods, the company already close down. marketing needs ppl who can speak proper things, so forget it. i can only talk nonsense. for now, its datelines and more daatelines. i will update u all again. ciaoz! listen to nair.. if u duno, u go to moodle.

friday was our ccn day and we have made a profit of about 40 bucks ! ( i think =p ) not bad i would say, considering the fact that everything was done within that week itself and with much deadlines to meet. cookies, muffins, cornflakes and jellies were sold ! even the balloons too ! and our hottest selling item was the cornflakes and the muffins ! i guess half the class were busying with the pom project report due on that day itself. managed to sell everything though except for 3 muffins and the quite some jelly cocktails and we closed shop at around 3 plus. very early compared with the other stalls. =p thanks to people like joyce, hamizah, priya and tsz shuen who went around to sell our food and of course ethan too, who went round the staff rooms to sell the jelly cocktails.

just wanna thank all those who made those muffins, jellies, cookies and cornflakes. =) your time and effort is appreciated !

quote of the day from sir gerald tan "are you lost ?" haha. really like salesman ! especially when he's clad in office wear. =p

angel mortal exchange is on wednesday !

have a great weekend !

today is sat, no news. i work 5days week. but im jus gona write a normal blog entry. today's capts ball was fun. there were 4 teams in the wildcard round. 1b10, 1b17, 1b20, and 1b21. 1 of these teams will join the other 11 in the 2nd round of the capts ball. melvin was right, a wildcard like sylvester can reach the finals of the singapore idol. tt is a very true statement. but it doesnt apply to us. we lost to 1b10. who went on to beat 1b21 and became the wildcard champion to take on the 11 other teams. and they eventually ended up as CHAMPIONS! can u believe it?! frm losers to wildcard to champions, simply amazing! but their players sibei sux, sibei hong gan, they had attitudes of assholes. but they good wat, so cant blame.

here's the standings for the capts ball:
1st - 1b10
2nd - 1b04
3rd - 1b01
4th - 1b16

and this is something urgent. SOMEBODY SAVE OUR TAGBOARD PLS? im a blog bodor.. so i know nuts abt this. can some one experienced and professional save the tagboard? thx!

today no quote.. i told u its not a news report already wat. somemore the lecturers r having a nice weekend with their family. dun disturb!

IMPORTANT NEWS

hi everyone, those who went for the captain's ball tournament will know how the results like. But don't worry, even though we lost, we were very close.

I have received a good news by Ms Tan Yi Ling that there will be a wildcard special on tomorrow, 8.20am and WE ARE CHOSEN! They need 12 teams to qualify, and only 11teams did, so the 12th team will be decided by this wildcard system. There are 4 teams in this wildcard system and they are B10, B17, B20 and B21(couple class, wack them!). They choose these teams by the goal difference and their performance at that point of time. So happy that we were chosen, we have another chance to fight back, to be the 12th team in the quarter finals.

All the players involve should meet at the sports complexs by 820 tmr WITH YELLOW BUSINESS T-SHIRT, cos we need to standardise. ALL 1B20cian are encourage to come and support us as there are prizes for most supportive class and best sportmanship(only for top 6position). Also, the best part is when we vs B21, its really worth watching!

I believed we can do it, as Taufik Batisah and sly was from the wildcard special if some of you remember, they made it to be the 1st and 2nd. So all the best tmr and there will be a change in players in tmr's game.

Hello, its 830am now and i am reporting news.. *mega yawn*. Well nothing exciting has happened lately, the world is getting boring.

Top story: capt's ball will be this coming friday, 1.30pm. we will be taking on 1b05. bring ur pom poms

1b20 news: later will be the presentation. will do a post mortem news on tt tmr.

world news: egypt kana bombed by terrorist again. how sad. i wonder if cleopatra is alright. the terrorists better be careful, egyptians have the ultimate burying resource. iraq better watch out, one nite when they r all asleep, stealth bombers will fly past swiftly dropping.... SAND! and bury them all! anyway y did they bomb egypt anyway? i mean bombing the world trade center was clever, but they r running out of ideas that they started to bomb places tt has not much of a value. after america was bali. and bali has all the imitation stuff that carries a very low net worth. then they bombed thailand which only has prostitutes and aids, and of coz elephants. then it was some ulu place and then london. i wonder if they were aiming the prime minister... but tony blair haven even go back to london yet, he was still in spore celebrating his IOC victory. then it was egypt. which is the dumbest place to bomb. after u bomb, the sand will all fly and u wun even know where u r going u dumb ass. i wonder where will they aim for next. alaska? so u can break the ice bergs to see little ice cubes?

if u have so many bombs... donate to our singapore army.. so our govt wun spend so much on the military.

Aloha! it's me again ur 1b20 correspondent here with some latest happenings around our class.

Top story: Today, we had our first great letter exchange! with many delighted and greedy faces, we all waited for this one special moment after csa tutorial to exchange our letters! many suspicious mortals have been eagerly guessing their angels. my advice is... dun guess... even if u guess correctly, ur angel will admit meh? so dun waste ur breath.

Social news: today, a few of us had our orchard formal clothes outing. the ppl who went were elena, stephanie, diana, wingyan, felicia, eugene, dinesh, melvin, gerald and @regine. and guess who we met there? sherry, melissa and zhiting. haha dun wana go with us right? u can run but u cant hide =p.

Gender news: on board express 518, we saw a full grown babok with very flexible wrists i muz say. he/she/it was talking on the phone with his/her/its fren. the conversation went like this:
BABOK: 'hello, its ok to be a babok ok.. i have a lot of babok frens wat. i think u r very fashionable, i love ur sense of dressing. ya hey mambo is a good brand u know... do u know wat is mambo actually? its actually a dance.'
wha lao i hear liao ah, i almost wanted to open the emergency exit door and jus jump out. heng ah, he sat behind. if the driver could hear him ah, sure langa liao. then, i saw elena talking to him. my first reaction was: 'ELENA! get away frm him!' and i actually thot he was a regular customer of the grand hyatt hotel (the place where elena works at).. u noe, a regular customer as in one who always brings another man with him and books a hotel room tt kind. but anyway he turned out to be elena's colleague! wat a small country we live in. he sure is a CONFUSED individual.

World news: london police officers shot a suspected suicide bomber. so when u go out, try to dress nicely and not look so suspicious.. later u also kana shot.

go check tis link out. i may have been nagging to some of u in msn to view his blog entry already, but some of u asked me to post it on the class blog, so here it is. for those 'virgins' who cant take vulgarities, i suggest u dun view the blog coz the language might seem a little uncomfortable for u. if u jus go to http://www.rockson.blogspot.com , u will also find his other funi entries like the london bombing. for the sake of fun and laughter, i will recommend tt u view them as well.

capts ball was scheduled to be this coming wed and thurs, 20 and 21st july respectively, but so far no news updates frm those student union psychos yet. so we'll see how it goes tmr. pls do bring ur pom poms and support us though, regardless of when it its gona be held.

last but not least: FOR TMR'S BACC1 LECTURE, WE R USING THE NEW SET OF NOTES! if u see this, u might wana infm the rest of the class, or at least the grp of frens u r always with. if not, for the rest of u who didnt get to see this notice on time.. jus too bad.

Expenses

Transparency and marker pens -$15

BSG T-shirts $7 each -$7 x 24 = $168

Hey friends!!!
I thought of this fun game before revealing who our angels are during the chalet!! That is,let the mortals(meaning everyone)guess who their angel is!!We'll go down the row and ask each of them to see who they think their angel is and see if their guess is correct!It'll be very interesting cos...nevermind ^_^ Anyway,what do you guys think???

Planning Part 2 Tutorial

B. Application Exercises

Rivalry among existing firms

no of competitors
indirect competitors such as food courts
promotions
price competition
advertising
rate of industry growth

Bargaining power of suppliers

buns - bargaining power is low as if McDonald's change their supplier they would have large losses
meat - low bargaining power
coke and pepsi - low bargaining power
packaging - low bargaining power
potatoes - high bargaining power as there is only one source

Bargaining power of customers

buying for own personal consumption - low bargaining power
products in McDonald's are differentiated e.g. french fries - low bargaining power

Threat of new entrants

barriers to entry high due to cost and difficulty (expensive to start)
direct competitors such as other fast food chains
indirect competitors e.g. hawker centres and coffeeshops selling hamburgers and fries

Threats of substitutes

KFC, BurgerKing, Long John Silvers
services - air-conditioned food courts

_____________________________________________

Strengths

modern facilities
courses e.g. Tourism Academy, Law, Design
Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
Flexible Academic System for Temasek (FAST)

Weakness

not near MRT station
shorter history
weaker image for some courses

Opportunities

go universities in other countries with exemption in some subjects
easier to find job with diploma compared with an A level certificate
international students -> exposure

Threats

other polytechnics offer similar diploma choices
competing with other polytechnics to enter universities
more overseas institutions

2005-06-17T11:35:00.000+08:00

annoucement

we'll give our letters to our mortals every monday. so every monday i'll bring a box for everyone to place their stuff for their mortal and then collect the thingy from their angel. =)

so diana will be a accountant ?

-elena

2005-06-17T00:15:00.000+08:00

hey ppl.. juz a suggestion here.. about e class fund thing, i suggest that we dont pay for class fund (papers n pens etc.) , e class tee (or what it will be) & e chalet money at a time.. i think it will be better to pay separately for each item.. so as to reduce our bardens n oso to hav a better record of money.. like we only pay when e chalet has already confirmed or when e tees are ready.. dunno what u guys think bout it.. =\

vivian (wing)

2005-06-16T17:37:00.000+08:00

hellohello im back to make my presence felt again !! :)

yeah. well its gettin to be a really angelic place here aye? lol! but i still havent heard from MY angel!! hello angel a msg from you pleasseee? :D

anyway! our airport outing jus now was coool. food was great, company was great! hey the rest, really do try and come with us next time yeah? indulge in some class bonding once in awhile!!..if not it'll forever be us usual people. next thursday we'll be going shopping after school! :)) im sure jus about everyone finds fun in that, esp the other girls. join us mkay! it'll be fun.

about what dinesh and joyce said, yeah i agree too. paying class fund in installments is definately fine. and something unique would be good! haha but seriously i've no idea what at this point in time. brainstorm and come up with ideas soon? lol..

well alright thats all from me. take care all!

-sarah!

2005-06-16T07:52:00.000+08:00

yeah i agree with dinesh. we r only gona be a class for 6months. after tt we r gona get seperated. so y stick to our small community when the rest of the class is ever so ready to join in the fun? lets take advantage of our quick bonding and do more fun stuff together yeah!!

2005-06-15T22:40:00.000+08:00

Hi. Ya actually i would like to add on to Joyce's topic. Actually the shirt thing is like a sudden extra component which affects the money matters.. so its like now we have to worry about the shirt(or jacket) and chalet/bbq as well. I thought maybe we get something else besides clothes to wear. Like something unique. Which will cost less money. Just to reduce our burdens? Just a suggestion. Can someone add on to this topic?

Can I comment on another thing? About the "alien" thing. We do not mean to offend anyone. I hope you guys don't take it to heart. Our aim is to have class bonding. Maybe we can adopt a more friendly approach. So let's not be too xtreme abt the alien thing ah. I hope those who do not check the blog and stuff (seldom participate in class decisions like outings,chalets,shirts blabla.) Maybe can be more involved in the class social activities. It's all for the good. yep.

Dinesh

2005-06-15T21:51:00.000+08:00

Hey! Bring the 10 bucks for class fund 2ml! There are some people who tinks tt 10 bucks per fortnight is too much. Coz they might not have a large amount of pocket $ and need to save up for other tings...so i tink we should understand tis. Mayb they can pay by instalments? Especially if there will be class tee/jacket later...they will have to pay again...so please understand la... Mayb we should work out a way? If not, i tink if they cant pay they might just skip the whole chalet ting which will be so sad...

Joyce -out-

2005-06-15T18:16:00.000+08:00

hey sexy ppl of 1b20. tmr after sch, a few of us are heading down to changi airport to eat popeyes. it's a normal fast-food restaurant, but the thing is tt there is only one branch in singapore! and yup, it's whipped potato is one of a kind. pls feel free to join us!

olive oyl

2005-06-14T09:41:00.000+08:00

after much deliberation, i suggest that we have class outings once a month, be it just for lunch or dinner. just try to make it kays ? =) maybe like every last week of the month we go somewhere eat. and class chalet will be postphoned to the end of semester break. maybe during the term break can go sentosa, ice-skating or barbecque etc.

any violent objections or suggestions please voice your thoughts kays ? =) take care peeps.
