is money the root of all evil???
Errr... I guess that my answer is yes AND no...I mean.. Its very difficult to actually decide, and to give a answer as not all crimes or 'evil things' happen due to money..Okay, since it is so difficult to decide, I shall tell you why I would say 'Yes' and 'No'...
Lets start with the 'Yes' part..
Well, incidents or crimes such as robbery, pickpocketing, shoplifting,kidnapping and stealing cases are done by people because of money, so as to earn 'quick cash'.
But do think twice, some other cases like murder are NOT related to money..Thats when I get into the 'No' part...
Murder is an evil action but murder cases only occur when there are hatred between someone, but not because of money.That concludes that it is actually unfair to say that money is the root of evil...
Well, that is all I can say, and p.s. this is only my opinion, feel free to give a comment...8)

hhahahahah drafty
Hmmm... Lets see.. Did I learn anything from those boards at the canteen???Don't think so..Haha just kidding...Errmm....Oh I just remembered something..But...The information on those board were very long and extremely mind-bloggling. So I am just going to tell u the important points only..Lets begin with....
The five aspects of total defence:(Bet you don't know)
1. Civil defence
2.Military defence
3.Economic defence
4.Social defence
5. (Last but not least) Psychological defence
---------
Okay lets move on..
Did you know that the island wide public warning system(PWS) is a network of sirens that uses a series of sounds to warn the public of a crisis, disaster or threat so they can escape in time???
Let me give you an example:
Signals:'alarm'
How it sounds: wailing blasts
Situation: this is sounded when an air raid or shelling is imminet
What it means: move to shelter immediately
---------
Last but not least,
I found out that public shelters will be managed by national service units and civil defence volunteers during an emergency ......
thats all folks!!!!!!8)

if i could be invisible for a day, i would...........
Hmm......I can't say"another difficult topic...blah..blah" again because I must admit that this isn't such a difficult topic..Haha..Thank god...
Well, the first thing that came to my mind when I heard what we were supposed to write on this topic was....scaring people I hate, or maybe those who are my enemy(especially the boys..[but that applies to some girls too]) Heh..heh... I not evil, don't get the wrong idea..
I would follow them and play tricks on them..
I would make everything that they look at float before their eyes...haha..(so your better not offend me)
I would make everything that they look at float before their eyes...haha..(so your better not offend me)
If there really is going to be a day like this, I would really love to see the expression on their faces(my god)..They might be Frightened?Scared?Or even worse...urinate on their pants!!!!!!!!
Calm down Vanessa... calm down..
Okay, another choice is that I would go to the movies or themes park and every where in singapore..I mean, every tourist attraction in singapore needs a ticket to go in right???(and the price of it is not very cheap)But I think one day isn't enough to explore everywhere ( that shows that although singapore is just a little red dot, our tourist attraction is still a lot!!!)........
How I wish that such a day would really come ..........

what it means to be a little red dot....
Singaporeans normally hate being called a little red dot, but think about it again. Is it totally a negative way to call Singapore a little red dot? Well I dont think so....
Erm..In my opinion,I guess singapore is called a little red dot as although it is a very small country, it is making lots more money than other bigger countries .This term is now proudly taken by Singaporeans as evidence that Singapore’s importance is far greater than warranted by its size....let's see...hmm...WHAT ELSE......
2005 is the 40th anniversary of Singapore’s independence.singapore,this small and vulnerable country has become a stable, prosperous and respected member of the international community.Little red dot is sometimes misunderstood,the key reason for this is Singapore’s unique position.It is neither a developed or developing country, nor fully a member of the east or west. Surely, the “little red dot” on the map must now be taken more seriously and with greater respect.
Actually singapore has disadvantages and advantages too...Let me talk about the advantages first....
Singapore is alot safer than other countries as it does not have natural disasters such as earthquakes which bigger countries like China often experience.Singapore is also doing very
well financially too. Some other countries are also very envious that she is doing so well too.....
Next up...Disadvantages....
Singapore is too tiny.. it might even get covered up by sea water if tsunami hits us..(touchwood..)LAH
So singaporeans,be glad that we are called a little red dot!

energy research for toilet
hmm.....'energy' seems to be quite simple and easy....should be a piece of cake......
Although the word energy has its roots in ancient science, today it is used in many other disciplines as well.In the natural sciences, energy can be described as the capacity of a system to do work. In turn, is defined as the result of application of a force(gravitational, electromagnetic, etc) through a physical distance. Due to the existence of a variety of forces in nature, energy and work have many different forms (gravitational, electric, heat, etc.), most of which can be grouped into two major categories: kinetic energy and potential energy.
The kinetic energy of an object is the extra energy which it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its current velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. Negative work of the same magnitude would be required to return the body to a state of rest from that velocity.
Potential energy is the energy that is by virtue of the relative positions (configurations) of the objects within a physical system. This form of energy has the potential to change the state of other objects around it, for example, the configuration or motion.
Various forms of energy can be grouped as potential energy. Each of these forms is associated with a particular kind of force acting in conjunction with some physical property of matter (such as mass, charge, elasticity, temperature etc). For example, gravitational potential energy is associated with the gravitational force acting on object's mass; elastic potential energy with the elastic force (ultimately electromagnetic force) acting on the elasticity of a deformed object; electrical potential energy with the coulombic force; strong nuclear force or weak nuclear force acting on the electric charge on the object; chemical potential energy, with the chemical potential of a particular atomic or molecular configuration acting on the atomic/molecular structure of the chemical substance that constitutes the object; thermal potential energy with the electromagnetic force in conjunction with the temperature of the object.
Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy that an object possesses by virtue of its mass and the gravitational force acting on it.
In everyday experience, gravitational potential energy arises most familiarly when an object is raised in the Earth's gravitational field. The object's increase in gravitational potential energy is equal to the amount of energy required to raise it, or, equivalently, the amount of energy that would be released if it were allowed to fall back to its original level.
Energy is a conserved quantity, meaning that it cannot be created or destroyed, but only converted from one form into another. Thus, the total energy of the universe always remains constant.Well I guess I would like to put some notes about energy we had learnt in science so my fellow school mates can even revise their notes when they are using the toilet..okay... well I supposed that was a long and mind-boggling post but it is actually quite alot of useful information...
