Hello 2Es!

Seriously, what holiday? I bet all of you have camps and holiday programs, am I right? By "all of you" I mean those who don't skip CCA sessions. Heh.
I borrowed the math assessment book that Mrs Lim always carries around and spams us questions with. If any of you want the extra practice feel free to msn or leave a tag with the area you want to practice on.

Enjoy the few pathetic days you have left to R&R. Cheers!

Class-Tee Notice

2010-05-01T01:10:00.000-07:00

eh 2E.. hi, Shawn here

fyi, i kinda changed the front part of the class tee design, because:

- the lousy printing company could not print the big 2e word on the shirt.. the one that continues to the back

- they can't even print the pattern along the sides of the 2e word..

- i tried to make it not continue to the back and take away the font effect... looked terribly plain and lousy...

- Ms Liz wanted some class logo thingy on it.. so to make it stay the same price... i tried redesigning the tee

so finally i finished.. didn't get to show u ppl my new design.. tj and mikh and a few more ppl approved.. so wads left is YOUR approval..
umm.. so if u dun mind.. pls stay back awhile after school on one of the days after school to see the design and approve.. oh ya.. and bring money...
since i just redesigned the shirt.. i dunno the price, so ps..

kays i'm done here...cya on tuesday and gd luck for ur MYEs.(:

Class-Teeee thingy

Kay... hi

class T is was $20... but thanks to ME, TJ and Mik.. we lowered it down to $15...
but of course its not as nice as the original one

firstly.. the 2E word won't continue to the back of the tee

umm... no reg no. (?) T.T

umm... the 2E word won't hav the cool font

umm... and some fonts would be changed..

so the point is.. (if u actually are reading anything from here..) to tell u ppl not to expect any masterpiece for ur shirt..
i'll try to make it simpler to maintain the price at the around $15 price...
of course i'll try to make it look nice also la...

any suggestions can just tell us....
dunno wad fancy method u wanna use to tell us (email/sms/call/talk/sign language/write letter/wadever/or just tag down there>>>).. but if any gd ideas pls tell us

Class Shalet? Class Outing?

2009-10-24T22:49:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

Sorry for the late post, had band yesterday for the whole day. x.x I was just wondering...To all 1E people, do you all want a class shalet or a class party or a class outing? If you all want, you can tag on the tagbox/chatbox to inform me, or you can tell me in school :) Kays... Now's jokes time! :D

"Repeat everything you hear....."

There was a blonde and she was tired of all the dumb blonde jokes. She went to a club and she met a man and he said:

"If you repeat everything you hear, everyone will think you're the smartest person ever."

The blonde took his advice and decided to repeat everything she heard.

The next day she went to a pre-school, the teacher asked a question, and all the little kids scream "ME! ME! ME!"

Then she went to a resteraunt, and she heard "Fork and knife."

Later she went to watch TV, when the commercial came on, she heard "Plug it in, plug it in."

The next day, a man was murdered.

The police didn't know who it was, so they asked. The blonde replied :

"ME! ME! ME!"

They took her to trial. They asked her what she killed him with, she replied:

"Fork and knife."

They told her she would have to be put in the electric chair. She replied:
"Plug it in, plug it in."

~Your smile is my happiness~

Seok Hua

2009-10-15T02:26:00.000-07:00

Hey people! End Of Year exams are finally over! Glad that you all worked extremely hard. Hope that you all will receive the results that you desire! :D You can do it! Have confidence in yourself! :D Now, do not think of the exams anymore. It is time to.......HAVE FUN! :D

Relax and Enjoy the following joke!

Money Talks!

During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the pastor with an unusual offer:

"Look, I'll give you $100 if you'll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I'm supposed to promise to 'love, honor and obey' and 'be faithful to her forever,' I'd appreciate it if you'd just leave that out."

He passed the minister a $100 bill and walked away satisfied.

On the day of the wedding, when it came time for the groom's vows, the pastor looked the young man in the eye and said: "Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life, and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?"

The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, "Yes," then leaned toward the pastor and hissed: "I thought we had a deal."

The pastor put a $100 bill into the groom's hand and whispered: "She made me a better offer."

~Your Smile is my Happiness~

Seok Hua

After much consideration...

2009-09-25T07:11:00.000-07:00

Hi again everybody!

This should be a cheery post! :D After much consideration, i decided to put jokes on the blog every weekend to cheer you up while you study! :D. This would be the joke for the day! Sorry if you dont think it is funny :(

A nun in the convent walked into the bathroom where mother superior was taking a shower. "There is a blind man to see you," she says. "Well, if he is a blind man, than it does not matter if I'm in the shower. Send him in."

The blind man walks into the bathroom, and mother superior starts to tell him how much she appreciates him working at the convent for them. She goes on and on and 10 minutes later the man interrupts: "That's nice and all, ma'am, but you can put your clothes on now. Where do you want me to put these blinds?"

~Your smile is my happiness~

Seok Hua

STOLEN!

from tengjie's blog.

heh, :D

Why Numbers Cannot Be Divided By 0?

Division by 0 is an operation for which you cannot find an answer so it is disallowed.

You can understand why if you think about how division and multiplication are related.

12/6=2

because

6x2=1212/0=€

would mean

ox€=12.

But , no value will work for € because multiplication of 0 by any number is 0.

So division by 0 doesn't work.

yay, thnks tengjie!

hahahah okay go hear the song now! :DDDD

loooooooooves sarah!

Music Notes

2009-04-26T06:13:00.000-07:00

IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE:

COPY AND PASTE INTO WORD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE THE BULLET POINTS WILL APPEAR OVERLAPPED. THANKS.

Chapter 1

Fanfares:
A fanfare is a piece of dramatic music usually written for brass intsruments to welcome an important person or for a specific event. fanfares are played during special occasions such as contry's independence day, to remember a military victory or even during a wedding.

Chapter 2

National Anthems:
National anthems are played during important events and occasions. They could be at the start or the end of a school day. They could also be played before a stage play, a film or a concert.

At major sporting events such as the Olympics and Asian games, national anthems are used to celebrate the success of the athletes from different countries.

Many national aanthems have characteristics of the European style of music. Some national anthems are written in the style of a march or a hymn. Latin American anthems tend to be more operatic, while others use fanfares. Only some countries like Israel and Japan have national antems which reflect their traditional music. The national anthems of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain, and San Marino are unique in that they do not have lyrics.

Chapter 3

Malay Weddings:
A Malay wedding involves the nikah, or the soleminisation ceremony, performed by thekadi, a religious official of the Muslim Registry of Marriage. Another feature of a Malay wedding would be the bersanding ceremony, a ceremonial seating on a fully decorated stage or dais, in the groom's or bride's home. The ceremony has a festive and informal air, with many colourful costumes worn by guests.

The groom's arrival for the bersanding ceremony is signalled by the beating of thekompang or hadrah and the singing of Quranic verses and good wishes. Nowadays, a western-style band or a deejay may be engaged to entertain the guests. There is no restriction on the type of music played, although the wedding songs are prefered.

Chinese Weddings:

A Chinese wedding in Singapore usually begins early in the morning with the fetching of the bride in the bridal car. In the past, a sedan-chair was used to bring the bride to the groom's house. The bride would be accompanied by a procession that played traditional Chinese music on intruments such as the suona, cymbals and the drums. Nowadays, the groom and the groomsmen will simply drive over to the bride's house.

In contrast to elaborate the wedding preparations, the actual ceremony is a simple one. The bride and groom are led to the family altar where they pay their respects to their ancestors. This is followed by the tea ceremony, where tea is offere to the parents.

A Chinese music group or band may be engaged to entertain the guests at the wedding banquet held in the evening.

Indian Weddings:

Music plays a significant role in the Indian weddings. Every wedding ceremony is accompanied by some strains of music. Some communities favour music played on thenadaswaram, a classical South Indian intrument, and the tavil, a barrel-shaped percussion instrument, while others prefer the shehnai, a North Indian wind instrument.

The ceremonies at a Hindu wedding are often elaborate. They are normally held in a temple or a cammunity hall. After the couple have walked round the sacred fire, the groom will tie a thali, a wedding chain, round the bride's neck. The three knots on the thali represent the union of the couple and their families and the acceptance of the Hindu faith. It is also at this point that the priests will recite mantras or verses from the holy book, and music will be played.

European and American Weddings:

For the last 400 years, a traditional wedding ceremony in Euraope, North America, and throughout the western world, inolved the bride walking slowly into a church to the sound of a piece of music called a processional.

The most popular processional pieve for the century has been the Bridal Chorus from theopera Lohengrin. It was compossed in 1850 by the German Richard Wagner (1813 - 1883)

this piece is popularly known as here comes the bride, well known from countless wedding scenes in films and on television.
over the last century, this music is almost always used in weddings at the beginning of the ceremony, and played on a church organ or other instruments.
in the original opera however, the chorus is sung by the women of the wedding party after the ceremony, as they accompany the heroine, elsa, to the bridal chamber.

At the end of the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom leave, accompanied by a recessional.

For over a century, the most popular piece of music for the recessional has been theWedding March, by the German cmposer Felix Mandelssohn (1809 - 1847)

mendelssohn wrote it in 1842 as part of the incidental music for a performance of shakespeare's play, a midsummer night's dream.
you will notice that the wedding march begins with a fanfare.

Usually the music for the entrance of the bride is grand and stately, while the music at the end of the ceremony is celebratory.

Other commonly performed pieces for the processional are Johann Pachelbel's Canon in Dand Jeremiah Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary. A common recessional piece is the Toccata from the 5th Symphony by Charles-Marie Widor.

Chapter 7

Field Music:

Field music, such as the march, is most frequently performed by military bands. It is a piece of music with a regular rhythm and tempo. This type of music has strong rhythms. The instruments used include bugles, bagpipes, fifes and drums. In the past, such field music was used to control and unite troops on the battle field. Today, military bands perform mainly musical duties with ceremonial and marching music.

Haka:

Haka is a Maori word which simply means 'dance'. It is an important part of traditional Maori culture. The Maori people use their whole bodies, including tongues and eyes, in their dances. These are used to welcome visitors, to celebrate special events, to frighten their enemies and for other social purposes.

The New Zealand rugby team adopted the haka to help focus their minds and heighten their competitive spirit and aggression before a rugby match.

The words of Ka Mate in Maori language, together with the translation can be found below.

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
I die! I die! I live! I live!

Tenei te tangala puhura huru

This is the hairy man

Noan nei i tiki mai

Who fetched the Sun

Whakawhiti te ra

And caused it to shine again

A upa ... ne! ka upa ... ne!
One upward step! Another upward step!
A upane kaupane whiti te ra!
An upward step, another .. the Sun shines!!

Hi!!!

Kit Chan:

Kit Chan entered the singing industry in 1993. She was one of the first local singers to be successful in the international market.

She took the brave step of releasing an album in the highly-competitive Taiwan market in 1994. It proved to be a hit with the Taiwanese listeners. She also ventured into the Hong Kong Cantopop market, as she was also fluent in Cantonese besides Mandarin and English. Besides releasing albums, she was also took to the stage. She starred opposite Jacky Cheung in the musical, Snow Wolf Lake. She also perforemed in the other musicals such as The Legend as well as The Forbidden City - Potrait of an Empress. In addition to the theatre, she also appeared in several television serials.

All these helped to establish her status as a versatile performer with a solid fan base, locally, in Taiwan and in Hong Kong.
