Thanks for the concern Kelly but 360 degree not good enough to avoid the forfeit lah. sure got guys can do one. heck, if u have been trg in yr house toilet since yr2, u shld be able to do too. And unlike u, I dun have someone willing to do my forfeit for me[18/4/03], or tumble down a flight of stairs for me.

And yes, regarding yr concern on the distribution of activities for everyone, in line with tradition, u and Heatsink will take the limelight yet again in the main event of the wet weather plan. In my humble opinion, to change performers would be unfair. It would be doing a disservice to the wider audience out there. Hence, being fair would really be bringing out the best performers to entertain the gang. This heavy responsibility of cos would sit most appropriately on the shoulders of our 1st class fyp presenter and his NUS sweetheart. In addition, to sizzle up the atmosphere a little, we'll have Parkway gal to cook up a storm. Do not worry, everybody else will have their little part to play as well. This is precisely y i proposed a mini talent time. To showcase true diversity in pp. And not fogetting tt forfeits await us. Tt'll be something really good to look fwd to... right?

Yo Sky Fyre, thanks for understanding. =)
Jus between the 2 of us, I'm gg to attempt to do the 540 degree spin move. Been secretly trg for some time liao. Shhh... u have to help me keep this down man. we wouldn't want anybody to practise this and thwart my plans on tt day...

btw, i found this...

Any takers?

i on for ecp 2....(obvious reasons too)

pasir ris, the lastitme i was there..ther'eslots of renovations n upgrading gg on..so can hv fun at the beach loh...

Sounds great man!
Cos I think paying $20 per person for the chalet is quite steep right? considering most of us will be unemployed then. =P

But I also cool with if we paying for the promotion package Emily found. Both at East Coast and Pasir Ris also ok. As for preference, I pick East Coast (for obvious reasons)... It'll be ard $20 per pax provided got ard 10 pp stay thru the nights bcos will be quite pai seh to ask pp who come for a while or dun stay over to share the cost burden right?

The entertainment will cost us too. Those packages only give 2 bowling games free. That roughly works out to 4 free rolls a person if 10 pp (if u manage to strike, then u squander the free 2nd roll) so maybe we shld focus on the free entertainment. Stuff like volleyball which we couldn't play last time due to the heavy rain. Hopefully this time got chance to spar against Yimin's long-time jie mei(s). Yes, pls invite them along. I'm sure tt Shane would be looking fwd to show them a good time.

Perhaps we can have a talent time after dinner? Dun worry, no fancy talents needed. Every person will just need to do something which nobody else in the grp can do. Things like playing guitar or harmonica will not be a safe bet as I'm sure more than 1 person can play. Unless its such a difficult tune tt nobody else can play at all. A good example would be to jump up and execute a 720 degree body spin. This will make u 99.99% safe from forfeit cos the last time I checked, nobody else can do (though Kelly is secretly trg to do a 360 at home) except Brother How b4 he was injured.

Basically, if someone else amongst us can do wat u did after u have done it, then forfeit liao. And dun worry if u can't think of something to do, jus do the forfeit lor. haha!!! So maybe its a good idea to think of something u can do which others can't. If u can prove some chim chim famous equation also counted I guess. Any violent objects to this free entertainment? Or further suggestions maybe...

Ok pp, start cracking yr heads!

fyi, the foot reflexology path in East Coast Park quite powerful one... Heatsink get ready hor.

To the fans of Smallville,

Season 2 is back tonight! =)

I went to the site... they have a similar offer for Pasir Ris too!

May Day Special Package (01 April to 30 May 2003)
3D/2N stay @ Costa Sands Resort, Pasir Ris for:
Room Type NTUC Club Member Non-member
Premier Room $118 nett $138 nett
Duplex Room $138 nett $158 nett

Package includes:
*2 Bowling Games
*$5 worth of TaPZ cards
*1 Escape Theme Park Adult Ticket
*1 Escape Theme Park Child Ticket

For those who r not in touch with society for some time, TaPZ card is a stored value card to use in the arcade.

Sigh, the Child Theme Park ticket quite useless to us though... maybe can top up a few bucks and change to adult ticket. Then, Kelly and Heatsink can go chiong together!

Hi pp, an alternative would be booking a chalet at East Coast Park again.
Advantages over Safra chalet include:
1. not constrained to book 4day 3night blocks which is presumed to be too long
2. hopefully its much cheaper than 210 bucks but not so sure abt this yet
3. better accessibility to outside for food, logistic supplies, recreational activities
4. its smaller and tt means its more cozy[yonghao]. anyway, not many pp responded to stay over the nights too.

Shane: u rem the booking costs of East Coast chalets? is it on a daily basis? if u still have their number, then we can call to check if rooms r still available for 6th may onwards?

Hi Gail, I think there's really no rush to book it.

Won't it be more wise to discuss a bit and decide for ourselves if the $210 would be a sound investment?

cos right now, we really have totally nothing to do there. so no pt in committing the money at such an early stage. we might end up forfeiting the deposit due to say perhaps the occurrence of an event or change of circumstance so fundamental as striking at the root of the chalet and being beyond contemplation at this time.

So, unless it is reasonably foreseeable tt it would be impossible to book the chalet at a later date, my advise would be DUN get it this wkend.

Any 2nd opinion?

With regards to the issue on whether a forfeit is transferable, it is prima facie non-transferable. However, in deciding a specific case, we will have to consider if the request is reasonable. For this, a "proximity" test will be conducted.

If there exist a proximate relationship between them i.e. 2 parties r so close tt it hurts the person seeing the forfeit being done more than the actual person performing it. Eg. Kelly gets a forfeit and is supposed to piggyback Heatsink and walk 15 metres on the foot reflexology path. Heatsink can't even bear to let her piggyback him on normal ground let alone walk on such treacherous terrain.

For this case, it will be held tt: "...it would be unjust to cause hurt to a man thru causing hurt unto his loved one. A man should be granted the right to inflict detriment upon himself for the benefit of the woman he treasures on his own free will."

Heatsink will be able to piggyback Kelly and walk the path for her instead.

Here's something to ponder on...
Notice tt we usually can't come up with exciting impromptu forfeits. Everyone knows tt a good forfeit is the soul of an entertaining game. So how abt we compile a list? Will never know when it may come in handy.

It seems tt a sadistic mind is an instantaneous thing. Jus comes and goes quickly. Hence, I invite all to write their evil ideas here whenever it pops by... who knows? u might jus see yr idea become a reality one of these days!

I got these from watching tv...
1. piggy back someone and walk the foot reflexology path
2. skip rope on the foot reflexology path

For all u budding lawyers out there, I'm sure u'll agree tt any reasonable man would know tt 'footwear not allowed' is the obvious implied term here. So dun try to challenge the terms when u happen to kena the forfeit. Any attempt to do so may result in
i. a harsher forfeit
ii. an additional forfeit
iii. or a combination of the above

Ok, let yr evil thoughts run wild and u might be surprised jus how creative u can be while studying for exams.

P.S subject to availability of equipment. foot reflexology paths r now available in most parks and recreational areas.

Ya, I guess a more or less tentative programme would be nice. Otherwise we might end up really bored over there. 4 days 3 nights can be hell if we dun have enough fun things to do. Also, judging from the precedent case of E20 vs EAST COAST CHALET (Sep 2002), it would be wise if we also have some wet-weather entertainment.

I propose an ultimate wet-weather (actually its workable under all-weather) plan. Some of us can role-play the reality show The Bachelor[Channel 5] whereby our very own E20 Bachelor is none other than the most eligible Mr Heatsink.

His job scope would basically be to flirt around with all the gals during the day. Then everynight, we'll gather for tribal council where he then eliminates some of the contenders. Sounds interesting? As in all open competitions, seeded players have an unfair advantage. So this time, since Kelly is clearly the top seed, she can't be eliminated until the final night.

Alamak, no stove?!?!... well, it's probably good news to Kelly lah, she can't really cook anyway (noodles, rice, eggs not included), so having a cooking competition might see her lose out to Parkway gal. haha... lucky gal!

No worries, we can spend the cooking time at the spa instead =P (muz take brudder Ongky's advise to wash hand siah)

Yo wazzzup brudders and sisters! Ya all stardyin hard hard ke? Muz remember to take a brek and relak one koner u no! Work hard and play hard 2, ok? Oh yah, u all muz remember to wash your hand everyday u no. ahhh.. and dun put near ur face 2 owkey? sister sars not very friendly k. ya ok dats all from ur brudder. wat a crap blogger.

I'm on too!

Since we gg to invest $210 on the chalet, maybe its a good idea to plan wat we can do during the 4 days to make the best out of it.

How abt we buy food to cook dinner there? Gail, the place can cook right?

We can have grps of 2-3 pp to prepare a dish for every meal. During meal time, we decide which dish is the worst tasting and tt grp will have to clean up after dinner. How abt tt? Quite a fair competition right? And I think it'll keep us preoccupied for some time.

But Heatsink and Kelly and Parkway gal cannot be 1 grp. Or else with stuff like forks, knives and the gas stove in the kitchen, something might happen...

hahahahha....errr...no lah..i wont wan 2 get myself into the battle of the 2 gals
i still wan my limbs to b intact.....

Yesterday was not a fair test lah.
1. Everyone in the audience was looking at him with loving eyes cos he was the star of his 1hr show.
2. He din have eye contact with the audience once the bombings comenced.
3. Stress made him so irritated tt his tone towards the examiner changed at 1 pt.

Basically, I din see anything lah. I myself was too engrossed in the thick of the action. It's not everyday tt I get to c such world-class performance. No wonder they say NUS is a world-class university. Now I know... bcos Heatsink is in NUS. It was such a captivating performance. After watching it, I know I'll regret it if I'd missed it.

Simply one of its kind... and xuan -er, if u were there in person, i think u confirm queue up behind Kelly and Parkway gal and start worshipping the ground tt his walks on.

they were impressed? u mean the parkway gal went to the presentatn?? wow! so have anyone found out who's the gal that looks at him wif loving eyes?mayb it can be seen when she/they went for the presentation? so gossip gu niang u saw anything??????

heard that heatsink was very impressive....even when i was 'wirelessly' supporting him..i can feel the A(D) prj presentation =p

After attending the potential award-winning FYP presentation titled: Space-Frequency-Time Coded MC-CDMA, I wish to withdraw my earlier description of it as an A+ project.

It was, in my opinion, definitely not jus an A+ project. It was well worthy of an A(Distinction).

Bravo Heatsink! I was impressed. Yr frens r very proud of u (even though we were pretty much lost in yr slides and have no idea wat was gg on regarding the couple of issues being debated between you and the examiner). BUT, wat we do know is tt the examiner was very impressed with u too. And I jus want to add tt...Kelly and Parkway gal really got good taste! (They were impressed too.)

Well done! *clap clap clap

I happened to come across something useful today...

It is found tt:"Women use their eyes to communicate interest in a man. Men, on the other hand, will usually avoid eye contact with a woman they are interested in."

I believe we can use the above theory on the properties of men & women to decipher the Parkway gal mystery. According to this theory, every gal tt Heatsink avoids eye contact with is a possible suspect. So, we'll jus have to keep a lookout for this particular gal who looks at Heatsink with the most loving pair of eyes from this list of suspects and we've hit the jackpot.

Cool huh. Ok pp, start looking!

For the benefit of pp who has never seen or heard of TAXI, its a French comedy abt a taxi driver.

I think the 9.50pm show is out lah. The show is ard 90mins so by the time we come out, need to rush for last bus man. I interested in either 5.40 or 7.45 show. How abt BK for dinner? cos I got some coupons. hee... Anyway, there shld still be a BK in Cineleisure next to KFC. Very convenient siah. $3.50 for a meal, better than foodcourt price.

Can? dun tell me its ok, its ok...

Dear fellow gossipers, for those who r free, i would like to recommend you to sit in for a potentially award-winning FYP presentation...

Title:Space-Frequency-Time Coded MC-CDMA

Time: 1200 - 1300
Venue: EA 06-04

Hey, Funguson sounds like some ang moh football club manager. haha...

Very impressive ideas, but wat's the original movie title for yr 3rd suggestion har? Dun rem seeing any titles with 'Big Movie' leh.

And wat's wrong with "There's Something About Bobby"? I think it has an interesting plot.
