The korean, the bitch and the bookshelf  

Posted by 1Inspire

Hi, it's me again. I dunno why I am so pissed. I think it must be HER face. Without her around, the indian librarian was so kind that she gave us 10min to do something that will take 3min lah. She some more say that actually I was supposed to work for one day CWO pushing in the chairs, but SHE said no. I can't imagine seeing her face for 1 week. 

Anyway, it's labor day tomorrow and there is supposed to be history period tomorrow, where you complete the first home group worksheet. And SINCE it is labor day, only one type of worker will be working tomorrow. The Traffic Police, never failing to serve the population and industrialization. do you know that the amount of paper used to issue summons each year is equivalent to that of a typical RI CCT? So maybe you would want to discuss with your home group to finish your worksheet together, or you will have less chance to play Civilizations II for Windows 95 in Wk 8.
Now for the funny part.

$10  

Posted by 1Inspire

Hi,

Please bring $10 to bay for the $330+ fees, which could have been reduced by Adsense. Unfortunately, since KS' case is of more importance now according to Mr Tan, Adsense is now second priority. Maybe wait till next term 1 1/2 months later. Please do not blame Kenneth for this, even though I must admit I'm quite frustrated with how his case may be preventing us from moving forward. Nevertheless, try your best to help Kenneth and maybe then Adsense will be approved.

1L vs 1I 2nd Leg Match Report  

Posted by MetalFenix

Match Report:
1L 1(3)-2(4) 1I 2nd Leg.
Scorers:
1L: Joshua
1I: Benedict, Yon Lu

Line up:
1I: Eugene, Alexander, Alex, Nigel, Yon Lu, Jervan, Benedict
Subs: N.A.
1L: Samuel, Wee Toh, James, Joshua, Benedict Poh, Jun Yao, Snggeng
subs: N.A.

WE WON!!!!!!
Basically 1st Leg was a 2-2 draw, so aggregate is 4-3.
We were lucky to escape with a 2-1 win, due to a last minute Miss from Samuel from 1L
Man of Match:
(According to Samuel) Joshua
(According to Benedict) Yon Lu


Flops:
1L: Benedict Poh. He had many chances, but spurned them all.
1I: Kenneth Sim. He promised to support 1I, but failed to turn up.

News:
1L has challenged us to a 3rd Leg, in an attempt to get a win, but we have not confirmed whether we would be playing.

Signing off.
Benedict Tan

P.S. I am an authorised author of the 1I blog. WOOTS.

Comments from the lighter/more boring side.  

Posted by 1Inspire

Hi, this is Jervan speaking for myself again.
First I must remind everyone to bring their history notes and textbook again on monday.
Secondly, that the English "Flowers for Algernon thingy Worksheet 4 also need to be done, pardon my bad grammar.

NEWS-
I forgot to take my water bottle with me, so I went back to class and retrieved. I thought the classroom was locked but it wasn't. The light was on. So all I did was to go in and take it right?
Then, I noticed that Mrs Mass/Ms Mass/Mdm Mass/Mrs Maas/Ms Maas/Mdm Maas/whatever thingy that is pronounced "Mars", Matthew whatever from the CECC, Ken(is this his name) and the other guy that is not chinese from the CECC were in the class. Mrs Whatever asked me, "Are you from this class? The decor is wonderful." Matthew (how to spell his surname) said hi.
Wonderful right? Actually, I didn't do much; Eugene did almost everything. You can see his effort everywhere around the class. So clap for him if we win lah.-NOT FROM REUTERS

ADVERTISMENT- Buy Army Daze tickets please. Cheap(for Samuel Teo) lah. Only (for Samuel Teo) $8 to $10 lor. Don't tell me that you cannot afford it right? They sell in the canteen. -ASSIOCATED PRESS

Lastly, i agree with the point that the class blog should be privatised. However, I disaggree with the point that "Posts should be of higher quality" Higher quality like real lah. Liddat my posts call high quality meh? You think that higher quality mean better? My foot ah. Even Mr Miyagi posts are funny, you know! Don;t believe go to http://www.miyagi.sg/ and see den you know lah.

Enough of Singlish. Once again, this is jervan signing off and i hope that this post will not be deleted... ( No offence to samuel teo. If you are offended, please don't sue me, it's to reduce the quality of this post)

Privatisation of Blog  

Posted by 1Inspire

Hi guys,
As suggested, to maintain safety(and tagging by random RGS ppl), this 1Inspire blog is invite only. This will only last until ad sense is approved (or not). Anyway, this blog will slowly get more secure, such as admin privileges to only some people such as subject rep. so we won't get any of those messed up template and stuff again, and also the posts will be of higher quality.

Cheers,
Eugene

Reminders, reminders...  

Posted by 1Inspire

EDIT: Eh, so it was overreacting.

Hi,

Please stop posting such messages on 1Inspire class blog, they are not beneficial nor relevant. Furthermore, they are rather childish and are thus not appropriate for the class blog. Using the argument form modus ponens, I thereby argue:
1) Posting unrelated posts on the class blog is wrong.
2) Non-related subjects were posted on the class blog.
3)Thus, it is wrong

At least listen to sense, this class blog is meant for announcements, homework, etc. Besides, what's this about "improving relations" you can do this personally, not involve the whole class. I'd like to say now I agree with Benedict, personal affairs must not mix with the class, with 1Inspire. Priorities must be set right, 1Inspire if my responsibility, and it isn't right if 2 guys simply decide to be affliated with another class, etc. Even so, consensus must be given. Thus, I'd say that what was done wasn't really right.

I have a bad news for you

I also heard that the softball team lost

but I am not disappointed

We are going to show them

Some Reminders...  

Posted by 1Inspire

Hi guys

Please remember to bring your HEALTH BOOKLETS and HISTORY NOTES. I also would like to remind you that the nurses are coming for a health check-up so please wash yourself.

Next, the rugby finals is on Monday and it is COMPULSORY for everyone. So even if you are unhappy about it, you still have to come, and before we leave for Padang, we have a RE period, which they put in (personally, I don’t like this idea).

Oh, the ORA Walk-a-Jogathon yesterday was really fun. Although I went late, at around 12 noon and didn’t manage to catch ZCY getting dunked, I had a really good time. For those who weren’t able to make it, don’t worry because some people took a video of ZCY getting dunked.

Then after that we gave Eugene the presents and then Yon-Lu was kicked around by some girl because we told the NCC people that the girl new someone. Anyway, if you couldn’t make it for the Jogathon, please come next year as it is really fun!

Thanks

Week 5 Notes  

Posted by 1Inspire

Hi guys,

Before I continue, I'd like to thank Samuel Teo, Mr Tan, Ren Yan, Shi Yao, Min Seok, Alex Chan, Daniel Mark, Yon Lu for contributing to and getting those great presents. This has given me more motivation to do my best as a student of RI =D. Moving on, here are some brief and important notes for week 5, effectively marking the halfway point of term 2:

  1. 2 CCTs, Geography and Philosophy. Geography is on Tuesday and Philosophy is on friday.
  2. Please note that on Monday there will be rugby support, many CCAs have let their members off to support including mine (NCC), so please come.
  3. There is judging for the CLASS DECORATION COMPETITION as I said, I want 1Inspire to win and really show what we are made of, what we can do. I want us to inspire. Many people from other classes have commented favourably on our decorations, but I think we should still work harder. Also it is not just all about the competition, it is about making 1Inspire a conducive place for learning, so we all feel happy to be in 1Inspire.
  4. Some quick notes: please bring health booklets and your History Civilization notes.
Also, I noticed the Subject reps do not have much to do except collect worksheets and files, so I'll be asking them to post the respective homework of the day on the blog so as to facilitate greater participation. Next, I've been thinking of some new things for the class to do after the Class Decoration Competition:
  1. Class Party/barbecue for June Holidays. For this one, I think we should do it earlier so we can all enjoy our holidays fully after that and because I do not want the date to clash with overseas vacations, etc. I will ask 1Inspire on what days they are available.
  2. Birthday celebrations (INSPIREd, obviously, by the previous events, although I should have thought of it sooner.) As our PSL Douglas once suggested, a simple cake is enough during lunch or free period. However, since almost half of the year (that's really fast) has gone, we will have to celebrate for two months every month after June.
  3. General clean-up of class. The class, as some teachers have noted, is getting a bit dirty, and furthermore amplified by the fact that the duty system is almost moribund(defunct). Last Friday, Jason, Ching Hao, Jax helped me in cleaning up the class, and mopped the floor. Also, I hope this to be done either this Monday (early but in time for the Class decoration, as it is also a graded section under "general appearance") This can be done during lunch, if everybody co-operates it can be done really quickly.
  4. More matches with other classes. A side note that since I am unable to contact the leader of soccer team of 1K, it will have to be postponed AGAIN. sigh. Also for this, I think the captains of the team should be put in charge of engaging/accepting friendly matches to make the captain role more useful.

Again, thanks to those guys mentioned above, and have a good Week 5.

Cheers,

Eugene

Hi. get ready for a long post...

Today we decided to pass Eugene the presents. What he didn't know (or at least we think he didn't know) was that we had started planning since one week ago... but the rest today (asking a girl to pass the present to him) was impromptu.

So this was what happened behind the scenes...
A week ago benedict sent out an email to us, and i suggested to daniel mark that we should celebrate eugene's birthday which was coming soon. So from there, we decided to raise some funds and we had some ideas in mind.

We asked the help of a random girl to ask eugene what songs/albums he like so that it would not be so obvious. After much deliberation... we decided to buy simple plan's new cd title... (surprise!) simple plan. Initially, there was not a lot of support even though daniel and i tried to rally the help of our classmates. But on friday, 3 different people donated $10 each.

After school, we went to junction 8 to shop for presents. We wanted to ask the guy-who-visits-kfc-daily-and-takes-photos-of-ri-guys to donate some money but daniel decided it was unethical even though he took a few photos of us (ew...). First we went to popular and found this book called "brain smart leaders". After buying it, we went to a cd shop and found the simple plan cd. And we found out that they gave a simple plan shirt free together with the cd! yay! When i reached home i found out the book was about jobs... but it will be useful to eugene next time :P

So anyway on saturday, eugene and i went for a random program and would only be back in school at 1pm. on the bus back the random girl smsed me to ask me if she needed to do anything for eugene as she was at junction8. so i asked her to rush back to ri (well she really took her time... -.-). this was not really prepared and planned for.

when we reached back in school, i rushed to change into my pe pants from my trackpants and lost sight of eugene. then i started calling him for like... 5 times? and he didnt reply so i told the random girl not to come yet... if i'm not wrong she hadn't even left junction 8 yet... we thought eugene might have gone home.

after about 15 min since i reached ri eugene called back so i told both of them to rush back to ri.
we had originally planned to go to the 2nd storey above the canteen while ashlynna would pass the present to eugene at the clocktower... and so we would be able to seem from above but that failed. so we passed ashlynna this hairy purple ball alex bought and ashlynna presented it to eugene. yay!

then we went to 1i, after a while the random girl with her random friend came to junior block too... so we decided heck, why not, and asked random girl to present "brain smart leaders" to eugene too. next, we told eugene to go into the boy's toilet. after we got ready, ashlynna presented eugene the spanky cool new cool PUSSYCAT DOLL'S ALBUM... i guess he was kinda dumbfounded because that would have been a crappy present, but when he opened it up, he was shocked to realise it was actually the simple plan's cd in a pussycat doll's album cover! moreover, we gave him the simple plan tshirt too which really fits him.

um well, this was partially a success as some things could have been planned better.

Ps: more is coming up on wednesday. those who know please don't reveal to eugene.
Pps: HAPPY BIRTHDAY EUGENE
Special thanks goes to samuel teo, mr tan and renyan for their generous donations.
And the random girl ashlynna for um... passing the presents to Eugene?

Adsense Update  

Posted by 1Inspire

Hi guys,

As said, adsense has been removed after the testing, pending approval by Mr. Tan. However, I think although it is a good suggestion, it will require quite some effort and time since it involves a School Website (class blog) and money. We would not want to give our school a bad name in any way, so we must first seek permission before formally doing anything. On another note, the preliminary tests have shown that the money earned from this is quite ok:

Basically, $5 for 30 clicks yesterday. It can only be sent for every $100 earned.

Testing of adsense works  

Posted by 1Inspire

Click on the pic for the bigger picture. Basically I've tested out the adsense for this site, it works. Ignore the retariisense one, that's for my blog, the 1inspire account currently has 5 cents for a click, which is quite good, depends on which link you click, some links give more money. Anyway, this is just to test, do not click yet. This is also to tshow how the system can be transparent, since my blog's and 1inspire's channels are different.


 

Posted by whatever


Ouch...

Google Adsense  

Posted by 1Inspire

Hi guys,

Eugene here again. As promised, Google adsense has been added, although please don't click on them yet as I have to confirm with Mr Tan. If approved, this can provide some money and hopefully reduced the burden on the Treasury. Furthermore, I've added this using my Adsnese account because it already has been manually approved by Adsense Staff. I have already implemented it on my blog, but rest assured no money will go to me as I have set them up on seperate channels so the money will be sent in sperate checks (again, I'd like to remind you guys that I have to seek approval first. This is only a test and preview, although money can be earned.)

Cheers,
Eugene

Valid or Invalid Argument?  

Posted by 1Inspire

P1. 1I is very smart

P2. 1I collected more than 100 used batteries

P3. 1I has Eugene as a monitor

P4. 1I has a class T-Shirt when other classes doesn't

P5. 1I has good attitudes towards learning

C. Therefore, 1I is the best class in Raffles Institution

After many weeks of waiting, our tshirt has finally arrived.

Class T-Shirt  

Posted by 1Inspire

Hi guys, our class T-shirt has finally arrived. Btw, please don't accuse me of skipping my CCA coz it is only once a week on Friday. Anyway, if you dun know, we had one spare shirt and so we decided to use it for class deco. We pinned it up on the front of the class. Also, Mr Tan will be getting one of these shirts (Eugene has saved one for him).

I have a list of important things that you might want to take note of:

-Geography CCT Next Tuesday (15/ April)

-Philo Test Next Week

-Science Test on either Week 5 or 7 or 9

-Get signature for History CCT

-REWRITE your individual short story and send it to Mr Wong to wongyann@gmail.com in softcopy. You don't need to write it out.

Batteries  

Posted by 1Inspire

Hi people...

Our class has collected about 100+ used batteries. But we don't think it is enough as other classes have more. If you all want the Eternal Rechargable Battery Power, pls bring at least 2 batteries. I know people who has brought a lot, like Clarence, who brought 30+ (I think), but there are still a lot of you who hasn't contributed any yet. PLEASE BRING AT LEAST 2 BATTERIES>>>Oh, and remember to bring used cans for class mosaic, which has double weighting! 

So, please BRING at least 2 batteries ok?

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Hi guys...

I have observed that people are impersonating each other and leaving comments like "I love u" or "I love him to the core" or if you look at the tagboard, there are a lot of cases like recently,  we can't tell who's the real Min Seok in the tagboard... (Ranging from The REAL Min Seok to TRUE REAL ACTUAL Min Seok) etc... I think this is very childish and you guys probably remember the lesson on cyber bullying during CLE. I hope we don't see any more of these childish act of impersonating again.

Cheers,
