what do u think of this kind of person...

 a person who has....

-broken family (like parents divorce, father dont talk much.. usually busy, mum stays far away and hardly gets to see her, no brother and sister so is alone at home.)

-bad at communicating skills.(very plain and boring person)

-doesnt talk much to people..(nothing to talk about.)

-no good talents(sports no so good, brains also no so good)

-bad childhood experience(pimple/scars/bullied/loneiness/backstab by a "friend")   this really affects the person until now.. making the person's mind really haywired.. full of deep "thoughts".

-money.. not so rich.. not as rich as most other normal people..

-friends.. after reading all the above.. not much friends was made.. actually.. no friends at all..  (after getting to know someone and get backstabbed... a really BIG padlock was made.. keeping everyone away to prevent another backstabbing case.)

-appearance (not as good looking as everyone else.. pimple still remains and scars.) always thinking.. " why cant i look like that person?"

 

 

i think thats all to know about this person.. so what are ur thoughts/comments about this person?

 

 

everybody has their own flaws. no one is perfect; so i don't mind being friends with this person. I don't judge him cause' i myself isn't perfect either.

Oh well, I’m partially hearing-impaired actually. Sometimes its not that I don’t want to mingle around much with friends but its because of that I could not make out what they’re saying especially in noisy environment, I tend to keep quiet as I dont want them to repeat themselves again and then feel irritated by me. Yet, I’m afraid of getting embarassed about it if i were to tell them. Now that i’m back in school, I don’t know whether I should wear a hearing aid to school or just tell them about my problem. Hopefully, someone can shed some light please?

thanks! i’ll try to read up more. gosh i have econs test on this wed!

i seldom see girls wear skirts or dress. maybe only when attending formal events.

i guess its because of the humid weather here in singapore. but many girls here do wear dresses especially button dresses.

I like to blend simplicity and style together. I don't usually wear fancy tees.

But before skinnies went mainstream, I was wearing it with a topman tee with my friend. Then after the all Ah Bengs and Ah Sengs start to wear them, I stopped wearing them.

Same for cardigans.

Now normally, I wear a straight cut or slim straight or just a plain berms, I simple tee. I hate those that have their label name on the design like those Bugis Street brands. And normally, dept stores, giordano, hang ten etc are taboo spots for me. Normally you won't see me inside them buying clothes.

Now, I'm devising my own style, I'll wear something that people aren't wearing too much of.

yeah. wearing something that people aren't wearing much of makes you stand out among them but yet would catch a lot of attention. BUT, its your style! so go with what you like and what you think suits you!

the high opportunity cost is the amount he will lose as a result of his not-so-pro at growing crops.. basically its just trying to say a computer engineer has erm lets say 20 hrs.. this 20 hrs he can make 10 computers for $10000 OR he can use this 20 hours to grow 10 kg of crops and earn only $5000.. but by some funny reason if he chooses to grow 10kg of crops, he will not have used that 20 hours to make 10 computers.. then his opportunity cost is $10000(from what he COULD have earned) minus 5000(from selling his crops) = $5000..

i apologize if my explanation not as clear or professional as eagle's.. my explanation appeal more to layman lol..

anyway i took econs for 1 sem nia n is B+..=( so eagle can double confirm? lol.. but i think my understanding of opportunity cost shouldn't be that wrong..

i thought that the opportunity cost is $10000 from his choice of not making 10 computers? do i have to minus $5000 from $10000 to calculate opp cost ?

a computer engineer may be better in making a new computer than growing crops. if he here to spend his time growing crops, he would incur a HIGH OPPORTUNITY COST in terms of higher income lost from not being able to make computers. what do they mean by “he would incur a HIGH OPPORTUNITY COST” here?

i dont really understand this whole PPC thingy and how it works. on what occasion does the PPC shift outwards or inwards? and what do the points on and within the PPC indicate? and also why is it that when resources(e.g. labour, land) are not fully and efficiently used, then there will be unemployment?

PJC accepted me! haha.

I seriously also agree that some of the markers marked our scripts wrongly. Some of friends of mine who have all along never been proficient in their english at all and tend to write in short-form English words could even manage a B3 for their O-level English. On the other hand, I who is definitely more proficient in English than them, only managed a B4. This is really quite absurd. No hard feelings to any readers here though.

Have MI in their histroy since establishment ever produced any top A-lvls/scholarship students?? cause i got posted to a JC which subjects combinations offered dosent really suit me which i had discussed it here,so im planning to apply for MI,my L1R4 is 12pts,L1R5-16

apparently when i visited MI for the first time of my life today impression of that school to me isnt really good.. got a sense that the teachers there are just there for their rice bowl..dosent really have any passion for teaching which is different from what i see in i IJC where the teachers are darn strict..at least they're able to convince me that they mean business which are to enforce learning..i visited the staff room and asked about subjects combi the and the MI staffs there talks bout whether their colleagues will be there treating them free lunch or not..

will be really worrying about forsaking JC for admission to MI for the reason of pursuing subjects combi..

Not anyone that I know of. But I do know that many MI students aren't as hardworking as their peers in JC perhaps because they thought that since MI is a 3-year A-level route which is one more additional year as compared to JC's 2 years, they can afford to slack. if you were to go to MI, you would really have to be very hardworking and disciplined. I know of someone who graduated from MI who scored straight Bs for his subjects and was offered places by SMU Econs and NTU Econs. So, nothing is impossible as long as you put in sheer hard work and consistency in your studies.

Hi all ,

 This particular girl , was a LONER. Nobody likes her , in the class. A China girl , of course.

This is what had happen today.

-My friends put cockroach on her SHOE , in her bag and spray de-ordourant at her items

-She go report to the HOD that I WAS the one suggesting it and put cockroach on her BAG.

-HOD came and called me out , explain the whole thing.

-Summon for my friends and we "TALK" , that FAKER toot , PRETEND TO CRY BADLY TO THAT HOD.

-HOD called for councillor whereas telling us about BULLYING.

-I was clever , told that HOD that if that's the case , I am not FIT to be in the student council , I wanted to quit. She look at me with her big eyes and did not say anything (What should the hidden mge be? )

-Wrote incident report. (A long one)

-She let form teacher handle the CASE.

-And guess what ? It's not about the cockroach thingy , it's also about the cold shoulder I gave her , calling her loner and and extra.

-She is dame FUCKING asshole larr .. Form teacher told me that she pity her cuz she is lonely etc etc ...

-NVM , Form teacher told me to apologise to her on monday.

-Guess what ? Form teacher called my parents and told them about it .

Half an hour later , that china bitch's mother go call me and asked for my mum.She is like : going to fight "sound" , dame angry or something like that. Then go talk loudly to my parents blablablabla. I took the phone from my mum and threaten to SUE her for harrasing and talk lots of craps.

So she is like what-the-#$@ larrr ... I'm digusted by it , can't really continue.I called form taecher (handphone) and ask her what is going on .. and the story goes on ...

 

This toot larr , go call me and shout here and there. Ji lar .. I will write more details if possible , moodless to continue

yea. i hate Chinese nationals. they're rude, crude, often spits on the ground and talk loudly in public. aren't they ashamed of their every acts?

Well, im one of those people who have scored badly for the O lvls this year.. Im a sec 5 student and i can't afford to lose anymore time now.

My score for O lvl this year.

26 point. English - B4

                Maths - D7

                Combine sciences - D7

               Combine Humanities - D7

               Geography - C5

               Mother Tongue(CL) - B3

               CCA - B3

 

Well.. i am appealing into NYP and RP on the DAE application located in their website. RP DAE application have started, i have already handed up the application form in NYP.

 

What if im not been selected as a student. Can anyone give me some alternative routes...

I will blame no one else but myself, for not studying hard even at the last moments.. Thinking that it will be a breeze. I don't wish to retake my O lvls again as it is a waste of time..

Unless im being choosen into a poly, retaking my maths and science is no problem. I will put in double effort to make sure i pass them. Even my maths and sciences are weak...

 

Should i choose to go Private Poly instead if im not being choosen, Or aim for Higher Nitec..

I am not from a rich family, so i have limited choices to choose from.. Can someone guide me through my path..

 

 

 

yea i seriously think that you really should retake your O-levels. i understand that you don't come from a family with an affluent background, so you might be thinking that retaking O-levels may be a lil' bit too costly for you and your family. but trust me, it really isn't more worth it when you enter some course that you don't really have an interest in just for the sake of helping your family save the costs. in time to come, you would surely regret your decision.

i've been through this horrendous experience. i also screwed up my O-levels very badly and went into some poly course that i don't really enjoy doing. eventually, i quitted school and registered myself as a private candidate for O-levels. since then, i worked so hard that i sacrificed time that was supposedly to be spent with my friends. and now, i'm so glad that my hard work paid off. my results now allow me to get to a Junior College which is part of my goal to get to university.

so, nothing is impossible. hard work never goes unrewarded. as for the financial difficulty, just convince your family that you'll work really hard for your O-levels this time round and please really make sure that you do work really hard. :)

ahaha. yea sure sure. eh you like shopping too huh?
