haha~ is the chipmunk-mania gonna die down soon?? i doubt so. heehee!

we're turning this into a fansite for dear mr slurpee!

oh yeah!

Civil War??

	The world is already small enough. From Stanley Milgram's Small World Experiment, we learnt that we are separated from each other by a maximum of SIX-DEGREE SEPARATION. Now, in this small 'OT world' we are living now, shouldn't there be a greater need to live in peace and harmony?? Is there such a dying need to argue and fight over so many things? Firstly, how do you explain 'class identity'? According to Oxford(1991), identity is defined as 1. who or what something/somebody is 2. state of being the same. Well, I really don't see how that comes up to "unwillingness to mix with others" or how it can mean "over-powering". Sometimes, we have to be practical, rather than being idealistic. We always have to adapt to the situations we are in, and it really doesn't make it any better with the "Last Minute Lecturers" we have. Maybe if you look at things more carefully, its not that we are 'anti-social' or as how it was put, 'STRONG class identity'; time is our greatest enemy many times and the fastest way to get things done is to work with people we can coordinate really well. Perhaps, its time for you to wake up and face reality - Time was not on our side. Next, the 'roles' designated weren't done recently. Well, at least for some of us, there was some reshuffling. But the leaders were decided way beforehand, and there wasn't exactly much reshuffling in that area. Since the idea of the class coming up with themes doesn't appeal to you, why in the first place no INITIATIVE was taken to at least think of some? As you can see... things are one-sided again. Does that mean one is trying to be in control and overpowering? Maybe, if you look at the other side of the coin, it could be because nothing was done and hence, one side has to always take the initiative at least, or NOTHING will ever be done! Also, it doesn't help if only one particular group is taken into consideration. Please open your eyes wider and look around you. There are other people hard at work, and need TIME to get the work done. We aren't all superwoman/man, and we all know how 'last minute information' feels like. And if you had wanted things done not entirely our way, why in the first place did you not take INITIATIVE to do, or at least THINK of some things? And now, there's only TALK TALK TALK. "All talk and no action, only results in noise-polluted commotion" (Choo, 2005). So please remember this saying, ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS. And a little advice "Do Unto Others As You Would Do Unto Yourself"... When a fire breaks out, you don't go pouring oil onto it. That's the logic, isn't it? Why is it there are people who simply don't get it? Nothing is going to go anywhere if all we do is argue and fight, and adding on to it with ALL TALK (with sarcasm) does not help. As mentioned above, action speaks louder than words. Maybe if initiative was taken, perhaps the 'fight' wouldn't have broken out in the first place. To sum it all, it was a real disappointment. Why is it things are always view so subjectively, so one-sided? I am not trying to put across that we are totally not at fault, but perhaps its about time to understand what "RESPONDSIBILITY" , "INITIATIVE" , "COOPERATION" , "REALISTIC" and "FRIENDLINESS" means (For some people, at least). Who doesn't want peace and harmony? Why do you have to make 'peace' and 'harmony' so far from reach? Maybe I'm simply being over-sensitive, going overboard. I need enlightenment.... Note: This is in no way directed to a single individual. If you feel offended in anyway.. too bad. La la la... :P

sorry..

i believed all of you have received zx's email regarding this event by now... and i'm seriously very touched by wat the year ones said to zx.. yup..

well..
this event has indeed brought up some unmentioned issues..

yes..
i do agree that we are a bigger cohort.. but tat shouldnt be an excuse for us for not knowing everyone.. i once shared the same thoughts as u guys.. but now.. i realised tat we really really haf to mix ard.. like wat nizar said.. our class may have a strong identity among ourselves.. thus, the more we should share our strong identity throughout the whole cohort..

making the 1st step is indeed very difficult.. but all of us haf to try eh.. at the end of the day.. we are all colleagues at work.. with the same dream.. same purpose in life..

regarding the reshuffling..
initially.. i tot of letting you guys choose wat u guys want to do cos during the exhibition.. i din give everyone a chance to choose.. n i felt very bad abt it.. like i'm domineering the whole event.. so this time round.. i decided to let everyone choose wat they want.. after which.. me n zx realised that.. since the purpose of this event is to bond n mix everyone.. ppl shouldnt remain in their cliques.. so.. the tot of reshuffling came abt..

i understand tt it may be very complicated.. and some may find it unnecessary.. n i noe many may not agree with it.. but this is the first and only way tt we can start the mixing n bonding among our cohort..

do let me know if you all are against or with the idea of the reshuffling.. yup..

Well well... Alvin came to class today with his red mug in his hand as usual. But atlas! In it wasn't the usual aromatic kopi that he slearps in class. It was tea!!

Haha.. how I know? Coz helped to hold on to the mug while he opened the door. Haha.. so kaypoh kaypoh see whats in it.

And dear blog advisor thought in mind "I should take a picture of her and the mug"...

The tea is much better than kopi. At least the aroma didn't occupy every single air molecule in the room. Haha...

I'm LATE I'm late..

adapted from 'Alice in a wonderland'
i'm late, i'm late, for a very important date, no time to say "hello", "goodbye", I'm LATE I'm LATE I'm LATE...

YES we're late for class but do u have to go on & on & on about it? why waste precious time & complain that we'll be shortchanging our own time when in the first place u're shortchanging us?? *THINK* Let's pause for a moment to think..
"I'm not trying to say I'm easily distracted..." c'mon.. admit it.. in the midst of our counselling process, we're just trying to let u gain more insight...

just trying out.. trying to post something.. help.. why no colour??

The Story of W.I.N.M.A.G...

Once upon a time, in the land of Non-yucky Plains, there lived a very happy group of little orange creature, the Otties. Each day, they woke up early and work hard at the Plains, learning and gaining experiences in hope to help all the creatures that lived on the planet. Visitors from different Lands came daily to help guide them in their nobel quest. There was Sir Sippy, who showed them how to identify the different plants and move them around, as well as how to determine which plants needed help. Jilly-Jolly-Jelly-Bean also often came to the Plain, and taught the Otties how to advise creatures who needed help. Of course, there were other visitors such as Giant Turtle, who didn't quite turn up so often.

Now, the orange little creatures lived happily on the Plains. Although they had strangers who visited the Plains often, the Otties were amiable little creatures, and so, there was peace and harmony in the land of Non-yucky Plain. But disaster strikes... a Yucky appeared in the Plains.

The Otties did not like the sight of that Yucky. It looked weird to because the different combination of colours on that creature simply didn't match (never did too). The Yucky was also unclean, with thick slippery liquid on its head, something the orange creatures simply detested! And to the Otties horror, the Yucky was here to stay. The Yucky opened its mouth and said,

"I AM HERE TO CHANGE YOU!! LISTEN TO ME, W.I.N.M.A.G., AND YOU'LL ALWAYS BEHAVE!"

Being good and obedient little creatures, the Otties beared the yuckiness of the creature, and endured the tortorous session with WINMAG.

Well, so far, we all know the orange little creatures in Non-yucky Plains are simply angels from the sky. Only just one little minor problem... they had a tendency to be late. Now, we all know that being late is not good, but never once, was their late coming ever intentionally. They simply... well.. just forgot about time... (doesn't everyone?)

But this displeased WINMAG very much. However, because the Otties were simply so adorable, the creature decided not to punish them for coming late. Suddenly, on a very fine day, WINMAG turned furious...

"WHY ARE YOU OTTIES ALWAYS SO LATE? WHY DO YOU DISCRIMINATE? BY NOT SCOLDING YOU, AM I REINFORCING YOUR BEHAVIOUR?"

Now, WINMAG lectured for a long long long long long long time... the Otties didn't understand what was wrong. The other visitors who came to guide them never became furious at them. Even when they were late, they could still enter and listen to the lessons, and no one ever became mad. They couldn't understand why WINMAG, the yucky creature had to be so furious... Everyone simply loved the orange little creatures. Why not this creature??

So from that day on, they decided to discriminate WINMAG, because it said so.... (did it?)

The moral of the Story:

1. Although we learnt that we should not judge a book by its cover, appearance is still important in leaving a good impression.

2. Discrimination occurs only when things are yucky.

3. Make sure colours always match.

4. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill

5. Otties are extremely loveable creatures. Hence, it is never their problem. Its always the other creatures. Got that??

SPOILT MY DAY!!!!!

this u-know-who really spoilt my day..
we were already rushing to her class.. den the moment we stepped into her class.. she started complaining n gave a speech on how unhappy she is..
well.. it really got on my nerves wen the 'speech' went on for like 10 mins plus.. really irritating lehz.. n her tat dress sense and oily hair ar.. made it even worst..

den..........
LEADERSHIP was even worst.. tat used-to-be-cute lecturer is so super disgusting NOW.. kept saying unpleasant words... moron here moron there.. shit here shit there.. ass here ass there.. but i jus dun understand y the nursing students can actually luff at his stupid jokes.. me n elain got the urge to pack our bags n leave the classroom manz.. really couldnt stand him.. now i regret not complaining more abt him in my feedback to chipmunk.. bleahz..

well.. enough of complaining.. if not i will sound like the u-know-who liaoz..

GUESS GUESS GUESS!

Step right up!! Make a guess! Let's see if you can guess it right!

Take a look at the picture above. Doesn't it look familiar?? Remember seeing them before?

Hmm... have you recalled yet? Do you need the answer?

Yup yup yup!! Its Alvin and the Chipmunks!

Simon (left), Alvin (centre) and Theodore (right)

In the early '50s, Ross Bagdasarian (singer/song writer) , under his alias David Seville, took the suggestion of his children and decided to use the voice of a Chipmunk for his Christmas tune he wrote. The resulting single, " The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" on Liberty Records sold five million copies in just seven weeks on the charts. Through the late '50s and early '60s, Seville continued to make hit novelty albums like Let's All Sing With The Chipmunks, Christmas With The Chipmunks, The Chipmunk Songbook and Around the World With The Chipmunks. Unsatisfied with meeting his dream of being a recording sesation, he formed his own animation production company and began working with CBS to air a regular primetime cartoon called The Alvin Show.

During the '70s and '80s, the interest in The Chipmunks had died down and Bagdasarian had finally retired. By 1977, his son, Ross Bagdasarian Jr. saw a chance to revive the concept in a way that would appeal to the people who had grown up watching The Alvin Show. Thus the classic Chipmunk Punk album was born! Based on the strength of this special, NBC commissioned a new Saturday morning show, Alvin And The Chipmunks to air in September 1983. Featuring a softer, cuter look than the original '60s TV show, this version of The Chipmunks was actually longer lived. New episodes of the show were produced for a total of seven years from 1983 to 1990.

And that's how we all grew up with The Chipmunks. Doesn't it bring back wonderful memories for those who have watched Alvin and The Chipmunks?

Now, for the ULTIMATE question.... but first, lets blow up dear Alvin's picture!

Now, stare at the picture for a minute. Don't blink! Do you see another face smiling at you?Now can you guess WHO RESEMBLES so much like Alvin The Chipmunk?

P/S: No prizes for guessing it right!

Please Note: All names should be kept confidential. Should anyone feel that the above mention characters of names resemble him or her, I give you my sincere apologies.
