Spinning Girl

which direction is the girl turning?

Clockwise or anticlockwise?

Initially, I thought I saw it turning clockwise, but when I look longer, it starts to turn anticlockwise!

Amazing illusions!

The creators say:

If you see the girl turning clockwise:

You are a RIGHT BRAIN thinker, which apparently means you are a creative thinker, you enjoy the arts, you like the thrill of working on new ideas and enjoy philosophical thinking.

If you see the girl turning anticlockwise:

You are a LEFT BRAIN thinker: which means you are a logical thinker, you enjoy rummaging through concepts for specifics, you enjoy mathematical concepts, science and are very pragmatic.

If you see the girl turning both ways:

You are a genius, (or telling fibs to impress your family and friends)

If you don’t see the girl turning at all:

You are probably brain dead or your computer needs fixed.

share with me what you see please! =)

Always behind you..

Have you heard of Command?

I guess not..but you most probably have heard of the name 3M. Command is actually one of the products under 3M. It is more commonly known for its strong hooks.

We are tasked to create awareness for this poster strips of command. And, we came up with this creative theme : Always behind you.

As in, physically, Command is always behind your pretty posters and frames. And, it is always behind you, supporting you.

Isn't it a nice theme? haha



think for a moment pls..



the answer..



what does the following pictures/poster mean to you?




In case you did not notice, the wall is still clean though the size of the picture/poster changes. =)
In general, each of the posters are part of your growing up cycle..

The above 2 ads is one part of our BIG idea : Always behind you

And, to our amazement, we won the FIRST RUNNER UP in this Command Marketing Competition! All our hard work and efforts paid off!

Great teamwork is one of the key factor. Each one of us is committed to the project by contributing to the best of each ones strength.

All in all, it has been a great learning experience with practical usage of marketing.

Hooray~~

Fun with Marketing

Here is a simple way for you to learn.

You go up to her and get her telephone number.

That's Telemarketing"

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?"

another person come and tell her:

"That's competition eating into your market share"

You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and before you say:

Isn't this an interesting way of learning marketing? Haha

# There is always a different way to learn the same old stuff.

Take care pls

Hey peeps.. weather has been changing irregularly and it's so easy to for your body to become heaty..
And that's when our body is fragile to sickness.

Recently, my family is down with fever, vomiting, stomach pain and more..

It all started with my younger brother who came back early from NS cos he vomited and felt giddy.. So he went to visit the doc, and the doc said that my bro had stomach flu.. and there is some sort of virus that may be passed around. 2 day MC

then, the next day, my dad had the same syndrome as my bro.. vomited lots of stuff and stayed at home for 2 days also.

My mum is the one that has been looking after them.. and at the meantime, i guess she started to feel sick as well.

Next, it's me. On monday, I was still feeling perfectly alright in the morning. In the afternoon, I just felt like vomiting and my whole body went all weak. I was worried as I did not know what is happening to my body. Went home early and stayed in bed for hours. At night, then did I realise that I had fever. My back and stomach is hurting too.

Lucky my mum is there for me. And I felt so much better now. But, my mum is having a more severe pain than me now. And, worse came to worse, my elder bro who went back to camp called back early on saying that he had fever too. OMG! Virus can be spread around so easily!

So, everyone, please do take care and not be beaten down by sickness!!


Milk for everyone! =)

PSLE is finally over

The first week of Oct is the crucial PSLE.
And, that marks the end of P6 prog.. everyone can take a quick break from all the preparation and buzz.. haha..

Group photo with the AM class students..

PM Class


Although it has been tough for us to prepare the materials and deliver the strategies to them, it is also challenging for the students to absorb so much information in such a short time. But, I believed most of them did enjoy the lesson and gain more skills as well! =)

Heard from the parents that this year's PSLE is real tough. It not only involves the arithmetic skills, but many analysis! I felt so lucky that I had already finished my PSLE years ago.. haha..

By the way, I heard that there are actually moderation to the PSLE and "O" level marks. Is that true??

Can you see it?

I found the circles!! 16 in total!!! Woah.. I almost missed them. Can you see them too?


Impossible structure.. Look carefully~~~

Out of curiosity, I tried to do one too. Lolx.. It's quite easy to see though.


#Is seeing believing?

Beware of what is inside

Beware!!!

These food that you commonly eat increases your risk of heart disease and stroke!

It may be yummy, but friends, please think twice before you consume them. I am saying it to myself too as these are some of the food I like. =(

Happy Teachers' Day

A day to remember who has helped you, changed your life for the better, make you look at things differently, ...

Till now, there is this teacher that I have always remembered. She is my primary school chinese teacher, Miss Chang or Chang Lao Shi.

I might not have remembered what she has done exactly to me, but subconsciously, I know she has done alot to help me when I was all alone in the new school, not even knowing the basic language of communication. A petite lady who had went all the way out to help me, making sure I fit into the class, get the right education I suppose to be getting ... without expecting anything in return.

Thank you for making a change in my life.




A note from Ryan. Thanks! =)

Endless shopping

I love shopping!! =)

Been shopping online for accessories and clothes. One of the web that I frequent is the sg sprees. They have goods from Taiwan, Hong Kong, US, Canada, Japan, etc. The goods range is wide too, from clothes to accessories to shoes to bags to dvds to books and more..

Got a good bargain recently when I bought 2 necklaces. haha.. Previously, I saw these 2 necklaces on 2 blogs and they are selling for $30 plus each. But, I only bought them at less than $10 each at this Maple Syrup Spree that I joined.


I have started to buy shirts too. And, again, I got a good bargain. haha.. I bought this top for $14 online at the sg spree and my friend bought a similar shirt in Singapore at $20+. The quality is the same too. However, mine has an opportunity cost, I have to wait for 1 month for the shirt to arrive from Taiwan. To those that can wait, you found a good deal here! =p

But, of course, online shopping has its risk as well. I saw one case online where the spree organiser disappeared after collecting the money! Be alert and pick those spree organiser that has more experience (with lots of positive feedbacks too), I believe they are more trustworthy. =)

Ocean Park, Pandas and The Peak

30.07.07

Day 6 – Ocean Park, Pandas and The Peak

This is a super tiring day!

Started with bean curb breakfast at this small coffee shop at Mongkok.

A very busy day as we had a few places in mind to visit and this is our last night in Hong Kong.

First destination – Ocean Park

We had to take a bus (696) from Admiralty MTR to reach the Ocean Park. To our surprise, there were a lot of people queuing to go to the Ocean Park on a Monday!

(this is only one of the many buses that is fetching the people to the Ocean Park)

On the way up, we saw some of the rides. It looked so scary man!

As we have 2 aunties with us, we decided to start with a mild ride. Lol.

The Ocean Park Tower

You get to see the full view as it went quite high up and nothing is blocking the way.

Then, we moved on to the Ferris Wheels. It wasn’t supposed to be scary, but it was very shaky when we were in it. Lol. The constant stopping make it worst, but the view from there is quite nice.

Also, due to the hot weather, we had no energy to play most of the rides. Hence, we ended the rides with this supposedly to be windy ride, the swing. However, when we were on the swing, it is hot wind that is blowing against us. Lol.

Next up is the ocean aquarium which is a 4 storey deep ocean. We saw lots of BIG fishes! But, they seem to be quite poor thing as they can only swim in that area round and round.

Visited the Sharks corner. It has a travelator with the aquarium surrounding it, so you get to see the sharks swimming all around you! A very close up view.

Then, we took the cable car to the other side of the Park to see the Pandas. The cable car is a real scary experience. Lol, me and my friends were screaming when it moved down the mountains. Haha. The cable cars are hanging on to these thin lines and we are above rocky mountains and the big sea. You can’t blame us for screaming right?

Finally, get to see the pandas after the shock. Initially, the 4 pandas were all asleep. However, we decided to wait and luckily our waiting paid off. We got the best view of the pandas eating and moving around.

Aren’t they cute? But, they are very lazy animals. Hahha

After this, we got out of the place as fast as we could as the weather is really intolerable. We need some air con!!

Had our dinner at Café De Corals before making our way to the Peak. Took a double deck bus up the Peak. It was a very good view on the upper deck and the road is quite bumpy just like riding on one of those thrilling rides.

What luck we had when our bus suddenly broke down at the middle of the mountain. Lol. Ended up waiting for around 20 minutes for the next bus to arrive.

The journey up took quite long. But, I suppose it is worth it with the compensation of the scenery and the windy weather. =)

Took the tram ride back to Central area. It is an eye-opener man!! I didn’t know that the ride is this fast and it is around 45 degrees angle backward down the mountain! Yet, a Korean lady managed to stand 45 degrees from the floor with her body straight without falling. Amazed by her skill!

Finally, went back to Mongkok for the final shopping and went back hostel to pack up!
