Dear Emily, a couple of clarifications here...

One, I too agree with u and yw tt one does feel refreshed after the last paper. But do keep in mind tt if a person hasn't slept the night b4 (buring midnight oil for the last lap) then chances r the dark rings will show (experts say this affects females more than males) hence, can't look nice nice liao. And I believe both parties would like to look their best for their beloved Heatsink during the chalet.

Next, regarding the identity of the 2 most fortunate gals in this world. It has long been established tt Heatsink had the hots for Kelly from the beginning of time. The new kid on the block is Parkway gal. Kelly knows her but refuse to tell us. To date, a lot of groundwork has been covered on this issue. We had collated data from various 'reliable sources' and pieced them together. So far, we have quite a number of clues [refer to previous posts in the last 2 wks] and there were even attempts by a few brave pioneers in this field to fill in the missing jigsaw through conjecture and speculation but no conclusive theory formed as yet. More possibilities will be looked into for the disclosure of her name from all the mystery. REST ASSURED TT THIS HAS PRIORITY OVER FINDING THE CURE FOR SARS! While this is being done at the moment, everybody is welcomed to hazard a guess.

On the issue of other touching love stories... sadly, none have been reported. If u propose a topic, I'm sure pp in here will galdly contribute all the "facts" they know on it. Jus to clarify a pt: there is no distinction between readers and writers in the Gossip Corner. Everyone is a reader and a writer if he or she choses to be one. There is therefore no unfairness here.
1. No gossiper is at any time being dictated by wat other gossipers write.
2. All gossipers will always reserve their right to choose any story they like to write on.
3. All gossipers possess absolute freedom to write their gossip in their very own style.

Others can choose to respond whenever they want to. Of cos, they can waive this right by remaining silent and sit ard to kenna wack. Silence is seen as truth or consent by default in this arena. I hope the above will help to clear some doubts tt ardent fans such as yrself might have. Pls feel free to voice other opinions if u have.

Here's a story which I think may have potential. The title is:"There's Something About Bobby". u think?

Imagine Heatsink ask the 2 of them on the venue they prefer... one say:"It's ok, it's ok" to Changi while the other says the same for Safra. I think he sweat liao. Even he also cannot sink tt kind of heat siah.

Hey &*$# ?, u think we shld help him out here? Plan out some real-time scheduling algorithm. Maybe 1st day all of us go out shopping with one of them leaving 2 pp behind to prepare dinner (experts say sparks fly when 2 pp prepare dinner together and its a good way to encourage teamwork and coordination between 2 lovebirds) and we can do the same on the 2nd day for the other person. This will prevent deadlock. But best to consult Brother Hann on this first, his the Real-time expert amongst us!

Shucks man, I hope Heatsink decides on his one true love soon man. No time... 5 wks of sch left liao.

Not much new findings... looks like the pp involved are really determined to keep this thing under wraps. They probably taken lessons from Saddam on how he hid his WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) from the UN inspectors. Its getting harder and harder to dig for information. Think our past sources have all been silenced too. Sigh, it pains me to see so much blood being shed jus to uncover the truth. Just like Fox Mulder's quest to uncover the existence of aliens almost costing his life a couple of times. Here, it might have cost a few frenships...

Talking abt recovery after exams, Yongwei, think u have to be more considerate here. Not everybody is bo chup like us. People got to sleep plenty and look nice nice then can come to play one. Cannot lose out to the other person mah. hor? But I think we probably can't be too choosy on the date. Judging from Gail's response, we'll be lucky just to get one at this time.

Changi Beach might be a refreshing change. On the other hand, me and Brother Hann thought tt there was no pt gg elsewhere during the chalet. The purpose of getting a chalet is to spend time there playing (cards, monopoly, dead lizards...) and rotting inside. And Safra got pool table and bowling very nearby some more (definitely a plus pt) hee...

I think the best is to ask Heatsink decide lah. Bcos if he's happy means at least 3 pp will be happy together... hor?

Gail, will u be booking for the period immediately after all exams (5th May)? Changi beach sounds cool, near Changi Village right? Safra is ok too but a bit far from everywhere (rem gg to the karaoke from the chalet during yr 21st bday). Wat's the diff in cost har?

Btw, for those who hadn't already know, our dear Brother How kenna injured 1x jialat jialat during a bout recently. Have been on crutches for a couple of days... but no worries, his 'personal nurse' has always been by his side giving him the best attention possible. 1st class TLC (Tender Loving Care). Now, doesn't tt make one envious? hee...

Think the only person in this world more lucky then our Brother How is Heatsink liao. Bcos the only thing better than TLC from somebody who loves u...
is TLC FROM 2 PP WHO LOVES U...

hi all......

we're thinking of orgainising a chalet aft the exams....trying to bk a chalet
venue: changi village...
a private house...facing the changi beach....

OR

safra chalet..

can we agar agar know who're gg??so we can decide if we are gg 2 book the chalet(gail is gg 2 book the chalet)....=)

Eh Yongwei, can do me a favour? Lend me the entire set of photos for Mooncake festival (2 yrs ago). The one where we were on the rooftop of EA. Can?

today aft i left the sdr test.....

me n yimin...saw one of our beloved e20 classmates(woh's oso took sdr)...talking on the fone....
he's smiling so sweetly while on the fone, shaking his umbrella....

we really wonder who was it?? =)

is there another story beside the the heatsink n op amp saga that we misseD??? =p

yeah ..... =)

To the 5 lovable E20 frens tt left a hello note yesterday...
I was indeed wondering how I can get a summon for parking in Kent Vale. haha...

Ok, from clues such as the handwriting (i'm guessing written by 2 pp) and the Chapter 2: Theory of Magnetoelectronics (Modeling of Granular-In-Gap Nanomagnetic System), here r my guesses (as you guys requested):

Yixuan, Yimin, Gail, Emily and Yongwei.

How many hits did I get? =P

Hmm... everybody is bz leh... but i still see them ard. I even get to see Ms No Time. According to the NLP Adam Khoo, no time is an excuse leh (so is no money). Really tt bz ah, sources report tt it is bcos somebody deliberately avoiding somebody bcos of somebody leh... u think?

I think SouthPark is jus more vulgar lah, Happy Tree Friends is the REAL gruesome stuff man. Good entertainment leh =P

Yimin, I din know you read gossip corner leh, care to share yr info on who's this person tt caused the rift between Heatsink and Op-amp with the rest of us? Any guesses?

Hardcore stuff... ENJOY!

After it was discovered tt Heatsink turned unfaithful[1], extensive research was conducted to further narrow down the scope of Heatsink's possible targets. First, it was established tt he likes Engineering gals[2]. On top of tt, it was later reported tt he has the hots this particular E20 chio bu[3]. During the consolidation of evidence[4], it was learnt tt Kelly had been withholding valuable info from us. Now, it is speculated tt this gal has long hair, wears glasses, stays in the east and is kelly's buddy [5]. Future work on this project will involve further investigation into the specific identity of this mystery person.

[1] Kelly 13/3/2003
[2] Kao Peh 13/3/2003
[3] Ang YH 19/3/2003
[4] &*$#, who am I? 14/3/2003
[5] xuan -er 19/3/2003

btw, who's this "RELIABLE SOURCE?" if not convenient to say here, jus tell me when i c u ok?

our class???

hummmm........any hints???

long hair?
wear glasses?
stay in the east?
kelly's buddy?

of cos i rem.....we can even put up the foto for us to remember it..hahaha

I recommend the use of real characters to act out the show. I say this after watching a superb performance at the rooftop of EA block on a certain memorable Mid Autumn Festival night. I remember watching the MTV on Chang Er and her lover (bare bodied some more) on their love story. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hold back my tears. So I guess they should do it again, on tv for everybody to see, and feel the emotions for themselves... it was 1st class entertainment.

Wonder if any of u guys remembered?

It's true... when women say no, they mean yes.
So all these talk abt [quote Kelly]:"i don't like unfaithful guys u see so i am going to dump him" love turned hatred by Kelly in fact reflects to us the struggles her heart muz go thru everyday. Now then i understand tt all the stress she has been thru all these yrs... it was never abt project work, assignment deadlines or even exams. It was always the emotional pain tt one man has inflicted upon her, about one man's change of heart, about her being totally betrayed by the man she loved so dearly, about the realisation tt the greatest enemy... was her closest buddy all these time (identity of whom we r still working hard on).

What could be more painful than knowing tt the person you love actually loves yr best fren?

What could be more torturous than having to see the pp who betrayed u everyday and pretend in front of yr other frens as if nothing has ever happened?

What could be more tragic than gg all the way down to the Addidas sale at the Expo on Sat afternoon and finding nothing worthwhile to buy?!?!

Jus want to say to Op-amp tt as we plough thru the evidence and find out for ourselves wat really happened between the 2 (now 3) of u, I know it mus be a depressing time for u to have to re-live these memories and thoughts some more. After all, they have haunted u all these while already. So cry out if u want. u dun have to act tough in front of us all the time, smiling and laughing and complaining NO TIME. There is no need for emotional labour with us. We r yr good frens who will empathise with u (heck, u all took HRM ok!). Share yr pain with us. Tell us wat happened... we r listening... WE WANT TO BELIEVE...

thot it's the heat sink's job to upgrade itself to radiate the heat faster?

tis kind of thing is a 2 way job leh

Dear Brother Hann... I envy u. At least, u only need to bleach yr face pal. For me, probably have to throw in an additional face lift and shed 20 pounds of fat before she'll consider me for little white face. I dun understand, the prata eating guy this morning got such an UNAPPEALING FACE also can qualify into her little white face network... muz be bcos he can fight. Fighters can give their gfs a sense of security. Tt'll explain y a lot of gals r smitten by Ah Bengs and gangsters...

Morale #1: The fist is mightier than the face.

I pity Bobby siah. Some laws in spore r really obsolete and needs to be redrafted to keep in line with Changing Paradigms. Women enjoy so much protection under the Women's Charter until the pt where Men pay Women maintainence after divorce even if it was the woman who committed the adultery. Seems like our HK Babe here is making full use of her law knowledge by abusing this loophole...

Morale #2: Dun be a husband, jus be a little white face.

Back to our topic... Thanks to KAO PEH's 1st hand info, we now know tt Heatsink, quote:"secretly goes for meals with some E20 gals". Thus, I think Parkway gal being a member of E20 is a fair assumption. Must be some very close buddy of Kelly's in class such tt she is is willing to shield this extra-marital affair from the scrutiny of good frens like us. But as for HK Babe being Parkway gal, i have some reservations on this deduction... she's more of a Tampines Mall gal instead. Have we overlooked some important hints (hints might be highlighted in BOLD)? Is it really her?? or is it really someone else??? Hmm...

Brother Hann, regarding the 2-timing issue, is Heatsink 2-timing Op-amp?
After giving it some thought, I have come to the conclusion tt this proposition of yrs is very possible.
Let me draw an analogy...Rem the amplifier project? 1 heatsink (if big enough) can easily satisfy 2 power transistors. Some even can put 4 (sounds like Muslim heatsink huh) also no prob.

Kelly mentioned herself yesterday, quote " I dun %$#@ go for &^%* unfaithful guys @#$%^& ". Obviously, SHE'S ANGRY. And somehow I get this telepathical feeling she knows abt the adultery and probably who the adulterer (Parkway gal) is.

Heatsink rather run naked than to tell who Parkway gal is. Clearly, his trying to protect her from us knowing very well righteous pp like us do not condone 3rd parties. This leads me to believe tt we actually know who Parkway gal is. She might very well be one of us... reading every line we write here! Gosh, we r in the open while the enemy is laughing at us under cover.

The only missing piece to this puzzle is... why would Kelly want to protect this person who stole her personal heatsink? I mean, every person (or device) would want a personal heatsink. Sharing is a thing of the past... in a time when the Emperor has 3000 concubines. What reason could have made her so soft-hearted against her love rival? unless... hmm...

Dear Kao Peh, for the benefit of u and those who weren't in Gail's room on tt night, let me briefly recount wat happened... Basically, Heatsink said he'll never reveal to us who Parkway gal is. He say he'll rather take off his clothes and run naked all over Siglap Centre than to disclose the name of the gal.

So, if we want to know who she is, we'll have to DIY!
Lets review on all the info we have at hand. Maybe it can help us narrow down the possible list of suspects...
1. NUS engineering fac
2. Stays near Parkway
3. Not in Harmonica Club (info courtesy of Brother Hann)

Anything else i missed out?

Brother Hann, u r sharing more of yr poems at Emily's request such tt she can lure her "little white face" is it? Wa piang, scully one day Bobby find out the reason behind her abundant supply of little white face then come to u for revenge how? u no more his Sergent Ang leh, cannot knock him down anymore, dun play play... if u kena beaten up badly and blue back all over is still no big deal, pain on yr skin is small BUT pain in Hann Sao's heart is big.

Anyway, coming back to little white face, it led me to thinking abt how unfaithful bfs cheat behind their gfs. Recently this Parkway gal Heatsink has been seeing or shopping with is a big Question Mark. 3rd parties have always been very potent relationship destroyers. Jus bcos he dean's list steady steady finish his fyp liao doesn't give him the right to shop with other gals while our Shopping Queen is still typing her thesis right? Shouldn't he do wat he has always done i.e. help her with project and do with her together.

Maybe I'm jus overly suspicious, cos their relationship has stood the test of time so far. But i wonder if... jus if... this Parkway gal has caused some big damage to them?... I mean, he no longer takes off his shirt and hugs her when she overheats leh. Isn't this a clear signal something is wrong?

Brother hann, I read yr poem with tears... (tears of joy).
The first 2 lines best sums up the tribes and tribulations of the op-amp & heatsink relationship over the yrs.

As all of us busy ourselves with our thesis, lamenting as we type, distressing over getting a job, I wondered if anyone gave a 2nd thought abt leaving NUS. A place we spent our university lives being hypnotised to sleep in lectures by foreign talent, walking all over looking for working power pts / LAN pts, sleeping on benches as we rush project deadlines, laughing, suaning, crying, forging frenships...

Yes, this is a memorable place. A place where amidst the hustle and bustle of sch life, we witnessed our 2 frens' love for each other slowly blossomed. We saw them eating together, quarrelling together, do rag and flag together, play badminton together, throwing tantrums together, doing her microP project together...

Lets remember all of these experiences, and on the night of their wedding dinner, as we sit together at the table, reminisce on these beautiful memories. With sincerity in our hearts, toast them YUM SENG and wish them everlasting marital bliss...

Thanks for sharing yr lives with us...

*tears rolling down my cheeks... (tears of joy)


and for all the san ba out there reading this, today (8/3) is our day!

With regards to Yongwei's request...

I have some reservations in sharing the infamous Op-amp & Heatsink Love Story over here. The Op-amp Heatsink saga is no ordinary love story like those we read from the teenage textbk in sec sch. This is perhaps the most earth shattering, heart wrenching NUS love story based on a true event which can bring any reader thru a rollercoaster of emotions - joy, anger, sorrow, regret, wat have u. Heck, it might even make pp laugh and cry better than those Taiwanese 'qiong yao'.

As u all know, this blog is accessible to the public at http://www.e20.blogspot.com. So I'll need to look into some copyright issues such tt royalties can be paid to me b4 sharing it here. Jus in case some scriptwriter from TCS intends to pirate this plot and turn it into a 100 episode epic to mimick HK's Kindred Spirits. It probably won't take long.

Stay tuned...

Ya man Kelly, Brother Hann is right. Vance n sen are buddies to yr SWEETHEART Heatsink. I remember 2 yrs ago ard this time, Vance and sen walked all over campus in search for power transistors (TIP120 & TIP125) for Heatsink's power amp.

Why did they do tt u might ask... its not bcos the lab is out of stock for power transistors but they were out of MOSFET brand power transistors and somehow, Heatsink's circuit can only work with branded power transistors. Ask yrself, would you do such thing for an ordinary fren? any ordinary person would most probably jus tell him off and ask him to wake up his idea cos all power transistors r the same. BUT THEY DIN.

They did it out of concern for their buddy then. Right now, they r showing concern for their buddy again. The first relationship is an impt one. Dun blame them for the extra care and concern. u r after all... his first love!

You guys been together for so long liao (the infamous Op-amp & Heatsink Love Story), there's probably a very strong sense of attachment. And when something goes wrong in yr relationship, its not abt finding a new replacement, Nope! it's abt the 2 of u lovebirds working hand in hand to make yr relationship work out. So, I suggest Kelly better wipe off the body oil from the heatsink. Oil will impede heat transfer. Dangerous!

(haha... Kelly must be fantasising as she reads this...) =P

hahaha...have'nt been here for a wk liao..but realise there're lots of talk gg ard ah......hehe...

I'm quite sure Brother Hann not gg... cos he too lazy to ask her for permission to go =P

And Kelly, everybody knows rumours cannot withstand the test of time. But the Kelly and Hamming story has persisted for almost 3~4 yrs liao, so I guess there must be truth to it... so pls stop yr underground love relationship and come out in the open, all of us are yr frens. We'll give the 2 of u our blessings...

No wonder they say "A leopard never changes its spot"... Yinghann, u still as DK as ever leh. Jus wait till she sees yr post, go home pull yr ear then u know ah!

sounds cool right?... i din know this kind of stuff existed though =)

NUSSU CBLC is organizing a Recruitment Party for graduating batch of NUS students at Newsroom Bar.
We are trying to provide more recruitment opportunity to the graduating students through this event.
It will be like a job fair held at a club where food and drinks will be served in a conducive and cosy environment for students to meet up with their prospective employers.
Students can visit the various companies' booths and interact with their prospective employers or listen to the presentations by some of the companies during the event.

Around 10.30pm onwards during the event, music will start along with the party.
Participating students will be given the opportunity to be up close and personal by partying with their prospective employers.
