Samuel, VJC's very own mobile library of corny pick-up lines, is the latest addition to the 07S47 family.In his free time he freelances as a model at Robinson's, Centerpoint. Despite being in high demand, receiving numerous other modelling job offers, he chose Robinson's because he believes the job offers him opportunities to broaden his horizons.
In an exclusive interview with a popular local tabloid, he reveals his ambition to be Singapore's equivalent of the renowned Jay Chou. Determined to achieve this seemingly impossible dream, Samuel dutifully practices whenever he can, including on public buses. In the video below, Samuel practices his song - An Jing - on bus number 36, in front of his encouraging classmates.
His various talents aside, Samuel will be shifting his focus to more urgent issues in 2008. This year, Samuel will be embarking on an important quest to conquer the A'level Examinations. And, like more than 50% of the Victorian population, he will get 4 As on his results slip. This article wishes him all the best in his quest.
Hey everyone, after 3/4 year of JC 1 life, we have reached the part where we have to put what we have learnt to the test. After 3/4 year of serious playing, its about time to start seriously studying. Hate it or like it, we will still have to go through promos. Yup. So everyone, do your best. It's only 1 month. And this 1 month will decide whether we can enjoy our end-of-year holidays or whether we will have to spend the Nov/Dec holidays studying. I think all of us will rather choose the first.

Heya. I'm just too free, stuck at home with this irritating fever that doesn't seem to disappear. Haha.
How to play with the puppy I've helped our class adopt: Click on the snack box and then click somewhere else, the puppy will jump up and eat. Also, Click on 'more' to get the ball which you can use to play with it.
Okay, enough Birthday photos. Many did not pass the stringent censorship:) For those who want the uncensored photos meant only for our class to see, just ask me k...

June Holidays in 3 Days! (Actually 2 if you start counting from FULL DAY!)
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:
There would be:
57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south 8 Africans
52 would be female 48 would be male
70 would be non-white 30 would be white
89 would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth.
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
The following is also something to ponder upon...
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation. You are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can live without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married ... you are very rare.
If you can read this message you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
Appreciate what you have and don't dwell on the have-nots:)
P.S. Sorry I still haven't had time to upload the b'day photos.. Will do it tmr.
No Chairs to sit on? Nvm, Victorians can improvise. At the National X-Country 2007 Turf City. JT taking a 5 Second power nap. Needs to remember what he just learnt. Music Fest. Those who went will fondly remember the crowded entrance, when everyone was waiting to enter the PT. The smell of sweat and the heat... CW trying to emulate JT...

A Good Way to Study Economics
Practical Applications
1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" That's Direct Marketing.
2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you say: "He's very rich. Marry him." That's Advertising.
3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: "Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me." That's Telemarketing.
4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say: "By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me?" That's Public Relations.
5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and say: "You are very rich! Can you marry me?" That's Brand Recognition.
6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. That's Customer Feedback.
7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband. That's demand and supply gap.
8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him. That's competition eating into your market share.
9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: "I'm rich, Marry me!" And your wife arrives. That's barriers to entry =)
10. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say:''I am very rich. Marry me!". Another guy with flowers said:I am richer. Marry me!" That's absolute advantage.
11. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm very rich. Marry me!"Her equally gorgeous friend tags along for the rest of the night. That's economies of scale.
12. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm very rich. Marry me!" Two years later, you have kids.That's the multiplier effect.
