the game

Sorry for being inactive for so long, we were too busy having fun playing our new game, that we had no time to update. But don’t worry, we’ll teach you how to play this game so that you can share our joy.

game started

This game is not new, it might have surfaced in other schools and places and is commonly known as the “pang seh game”. However, in this post, i will refer to it as “the game”.

For those who still don’t know, here’s how to play:

You need a group of friends (at least 6), choose someone to pang seh. And the game starts! Each person, must try to pang seh the guy chosen, as discretely as possible. DONE!

here are some twists in playing the game. You can choose to play coop or competitive. In coop, everyone will work together to pang seh that dude. In competitive, teams or individuals will race each other to pang seh him. Note that in both games, there will usually be a “last man”. This “last man” is the most suay guy. Cos the target should have noticed that everyone is gone by then and will stick to that guy very closely. Thus, anyone who pulls of a pangseh as the last man is considered very high level.

Okay. in this game there are some strategies. But, i shall let you find out what they are, since the promos are drawing near, everyone is mugging and I’m left all alone to type this post….

WAIT!!!!!!

ALONE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

OH MY GAWD

game over

Academic Equilibria

A few notes before we start:

1. Its 1 month to promos.

2. To be exact, its 31 days to promos.

3. To be even more exact, its 755 hours to promos (uncertainty of 6 hours)

4. To be even even….

You get the idea. The year approaches the end and you dun wanna be the one to bite your own tail and start all over again, so wake up and start doing something!

Something doesnt mean playing CS.

Moving on, It seems that the blog isnt updated very often nowadays. Its because the CCP members are either:

1. Staring at the wall

2. Staring at Facebook

3. Staring at MSN

4. Breaking their own fingers as an excuse not to type

So im here just to make your day if you just happen to pop back to check for updates. I can totally see your face glow radiantly as you happily start reading this post in anticipation of something lame, stupid and funny.

Yeah right.

Utter bullshit.

Anyway I just thought of something that I wanna post so there:

~~~Academic Equilibria~~~

‘How to know you are doing the right thing’

Lets start with a recap / lesson for those who slept through Chem Lecture. (BTW Chem is important so dun sleep in chem lecture. Look up.)

Equilibria is achieved when the forward and backward reactions are at the same rate, resulting in a constant amt of products and reactants.

A + B <=> C + D

Le Chatelieur’s principle (However u spell it, Im too lazy to get my notes/wiki/google it) is the main guiding principle that determines how ur system is gonna go. It states that “The system will shift accordingly to any disturbances to restore its original state” or something like that. For example, using the equation above, dumping in more B would result in the system favoring the forward reaction, making more C and D till the excess B is reduced.

So using this, we apply it to our favorite discussion topic – Academic Studies. First we define the reactants and products. Definitely, the products of academic studies would be our results right? That was easy enough. The reactants would be… hard work? knowledge? Lets try putting that down.

Hard Work + Knowledge <=> Results

Looking at this, one would know that its wrong. Knowledge does not reduce as the reaction goes on, thus knowledge is not part of the reactants. Its is more like a catalyst, accelerating the process but never used up. Ah i just thought of another factor. Energy.

Hard Work + Energy <=(Knowledge)=> Results

Thats seems good enough. Now we see that quality of our results are dependent on the amt of hard work and energy we put in, with knowledge accelerating the conversion process. Our equilibrium point would be set at our IQ level, as that would be the results you get without any extra study or hints.

So the main purpose of this is to see how we can achieve max results without expending too much work and energy. One obvious way is to increase amt of work and energy so that the equilibrium naturally shifts right to produce more results. Yet this does not work everytime if knowledge is limited, resulting in a slow agonising process that may lower your IQ level.

<—————|—————|—————|—————|—————|—————>

mugger                      human                    Too stupid to have a name

HEALTH WARNING: Too much hard work and energy may see you fall into the mugger category!!! But too little will see you fall into the ‘too stupid to have a name’ category!!! Which is worse, its your choice!

Another way we can increase our results is to increase the pressure. As the pressure increase, the equilibrium will tend to the side with less moles, which is the right side. Thus we can easily achieve more results with more pressure. As the promos draw nearer, we naturally feel pressured and start converting those energy and work into results.

Having more knowledge is not very useful as it only accelerates the conversion process. Having knowledge would mean one can start late and catch up easily but it will not produce much results. Thus, dun trust those muggers with stacks of notes. More notes =/= better results.

Increasing your IQ level is of course one good way but if it was so easy, everyone would have gotten A already…

So we can see that it is actually quite hard to shift the equilibrium, so it is best to just study hard, be prepared, and put in your best!

5 things you never knew your GC can do

The graphing calculator is one indispensible tool that us JC students need for our everyday life. Other than calculating, the GC also provides many functions needed for school life (i.e. games). However, there are 5 things that many of you might not believe that the GC can do. (NOTE: NO PHOTOSHOP WAS USED TO PRODUCE THE PHOTOS)

 

1. As a dictionary

By entering words into the GC, it will allow you to view its pronunciation, word usage and its meaning, just like an electronic dictionary. Now you can stop wondering why the GC have so many alphabets, and why people bring their GC into their GP exam.

 

 2. As a multi-language calculator

 So you think your GC can only read numbers? Think again! Your GC is actually programmed with a total of 28 languages, allowing you to perform calculations in Chinese, English, or even Roman numerals! Useful for arts students who are bad at math.

 

3. As a text messaging device

The days of messaging under tables during tutorials are over! If you hadn’t already realised, your GC is fully equipped with an antenna and keypad, allowing you to send and recieve messages. Now you know how we cheat during exams.

 

4. As a calling device

If your GC is equipped with an antenna, why can’t you use it to call? Why not, indeed! Using the call function, one can even use the GC to make a call to someone. Now you can pretend to be doing work while chatting with your friends.

 

5. As a music player

Not only used for calls, the GC can actually store 1mb worth of songs (2mb if silver edition), allowing you to listen to songs on the go (Note: Earphones not included) Now you can start wondering why you bought that iphone for.

 

Only by using this 5 functions that you can call yourself a GC pro. Remember, you first learnt about it on http://meccp.wordpress.com/. Please comment.

the one dollar game

hihies.. Today, we bring another fun game, the one dollar game.

definition of one dollar: A nice gold coin; 2 fifty cent coints; 1 fifty cent coin, 2 twenty cent coins and 1 ten cent coin; half a two dollar note; 5 twenty cent coins!!!!! (<- i’ll put a few exclamation marks so you guys know its something factorial)

Anyways, there are many things one can do with one dollar.

1. Get something from those one dollar bargain shops, where everything goes for one dollar.
2. Buy 3 packets of tissue from an old auntie/ uncle. (an obvious scam)
3. Buy $1 gachapon (those where you put in a one dollar coin and twist the knob for something cute in a “pokeball”)
4. Buy an NTUC trolley (probably the most worth it item on the list)
5. Play the one dollar game at RJC canteen

How to play the one dollar game:

step 1: gather a few friends. (the more the merrier)

step 2: each person takes out one dollar

step 3: taking turns, each person goes down to the RJC canteen’s western stall and attempt to buy something for one dollar.

step 4: after everyone has gotten his food, everyone’s food is compared to see who got scammed the most.

step 5: the dude who tio scammed the most is the winner! whoever is this lucky dude can start feeling proud of himself for getting scammed so much by the western stall uncle. Its an achievement that none of his friends could have achieved. its like “deans list of getting scammed”

Sounds dumb.. but its actually very fun. There are also many cool minigames within this fun game. here are a few.

1. “break the code”. The western stall uncle likes to “kiak” his tongs non-stop while helping you pick your food. This kiak sounds are actually the western stall uncle’s version of morse code. If you can figure out what all the “kiak”s actually are, you are on your way to finding out what combination of food will scam you the most, giving you an edge in the game.
2. “telepathy testing”. This game is very tricky. Basically, we assume that the western stall uncle and aunty have great minds, and great minds think alike. Therefore, the trick to this game is to test whether both of them have the ability to quote you the same price. Order a wierd combination of food, and let the uncle quote you a price. pretend to take a long time to take out your money so that the aunty will come and collect the money from you while the uncle serves the next customer. Now, see how much the aunty quotes you. If it is the same, you are one step closer to predicting the prices of western food, which will give you another edge in the one dollar game. However, this game comes with a risk… because of the wierd combinations, your food may not cost one dollar anymore. For eg. it could cost 90 cents or $1.10. If this happens, you are automatically disqualified from the one dollar game as you are suspected of cheating. So, choose wisely!

there are many more minigames for you to find out! have fun!

Haha pls tag/ comment if you think this is a fun post!

Snake II

Well, I realised that the game I had been playing was Snake II not snake, so I’m making this ultra random post.

Yes. I know its epic rite? Totally wins the old photo.

Byes.

CCP got owned

And that, readers,  is why Mark got A for GP and you didn’t.

tell me a story

hies.

sorry to our fans for being inactive for many many days.. but good news, we’re back with a new project, “tell me a story”. Here are the rules…

Each of us would take turns to fill in a line for a story. In the order Yi Wen -> Kelvin -> Jun Xiang -> Mark. However, Mark is usually busy staring at his house wall, he is often MIA and we can’t expect the story to wait for him. Therefore, a credits system will be set up. Everytime it’s mark’s turn, we can skip his turn by giving him 1 credit. 1 credit = 1 sentence. So, when Mark finally looks away from his wall, he can use up his credits by chionging a few sentences of the story, depending on how many credits he has. Credits will be indicated at the bottom of the post.

Okays. Lets begin! Any similarities or references to real life characters are purely coincidental.

Once upon a time, there was a handsome boy. Tall and dark, his name is Mark. He wanted to make his mark but he could never succeed. No matter how much he tried, he could only score one mark for everything. Sad and dejected, Mark decided to go to the market to try his luck.The Sunday afternoon had the market flooded with old grandmothers bargaining away, old men dismembering body parts, all ignoring this little newcomer who got lost somewhere in Singapore. As Mark crawled through the bustling crowd, he realised something. With his dean-list Economics knowledge, he realised that the market is in monopolistic competition, due to the many small firms relative to market size, and the wide range of differentiated products. He was so happy with himself that he started to smile like a dog in the middle of the meat section. As mark sniffed in the scent of his favourite food, his ultra sharp ears head a small boy shriek in his “zao-sia-haven’t-break-yet-as-good-as-mosquito-ringtone” voice, “Look ma! that dog so cute!” Hearing that, Mark stuck out his tongue at the boy, dripping saliva sweat all over the floor. A butcher saw him and immediately brandished his big shiny Cleaver, his eyes seeing nothing but dog meat in front of him. In terror, mark sprinted behind the nearest tree and started to bark, (umm. why is there a tree in a market in the first place?), then he realised; he was barking up the wrong tree.

Suddenly, from behind the tree, a… girl, appeared. Her black silky hair flowed down her back, rippling with streaks of light that dazzled his eyes. “Angle of incidence = angle of reflection” went Mark’s (no-life) brain as the streaks of light we absorbed and refracted in his aqueous and vitreous humor of his eyes… And with a stroke of inspiration, Mark suddenly recalled her name. “******!” He gasped out. (We are not revealing the name due to confidentiality issues – for now. And stop counting those asterisks, I am not stupid enough to put exact number of asterisks equivalent to number of letters in her name.) Using his mastery of econs and gp, he created the coolest pick-up line ever to be heard in history: “Ah! You.. are just like a monopolistic competitive market, with a large number of firms competing for your heart, but! you’re also like a monopoly, with barriers of entry so high that I can’t get close enough to you. But, you’re as perfect as a perfectly competitive market, and I can’t wait to collude with you”… ****** looked at him and said, “Dork.” That 4 lettered word that she uttered ripped through his mugger soul like a lightning jolt, shredding his heart into bitter wisps that twisted and turned in the calm aftermath of the a storm. Just when all seemed lost, thanks to positive influence from mark’s friends, his instincts took over and he replied innocently, “I think you got the first 2 letters of my name wrong, its ‘ma’, not ‘do’.” Not one to be outdone, ****** then retorted, “Well then, mark you! (Since F = ma)” Mark’s left eyebrow twitched, a warning sign that he was near the limit of verbal abuse; even dogs have a point where they go berserk and bite everyone, aka faking rabies so that people will be scared of it. but mark stopped, his brain reminded him of his original purpose, to get close to ****** (was the purpose even mentioned? nvm  just assumed it was). Just then, the lights went out. Mark blinked as his vision was plunged into darkness, an afterimage of her hair fading into the black.

Mark attempted to rub his eyes as his vision returned, but something was blocking his face, it was his fencing mask, he was at training… Complete with his suit and his handsome face, Mark looked just like a knight in shining armour.

Mark decided to seek the help of his three dog friends to chase the girl, each of which had a unique morphing ability, the first of which was dog friend Yi Wen, which had the ability to morph into a tiny, irritating but stealthy mosquito that could deliver a bite to make the victim fall for Mark. Determined to help Mark, Yi Wen transformed into yi1 wen2 (hanyu pinyin for mosquito) and darted for the girl, determined to deliver the magical bite, but just as he was about to land on the girl’s arm, a loud “PANG” was heard (yes, the girl’s arm was made of metal), and the annoying buzz that permeated the air just a moment before faded into the oblivion.

Oh well, next up was dog friend Kelvin, who could morph into a cute and cuddly koala bear, which the girl was known to be fond of,  so Kelvin decided to offer himself as a gift to the girl from Mark so that the girl might fall for Mark. With Kelvin (now morphed into a koala from a dog) in Mark’s arms, Mark approached ****** and handed her Kelvin, and she exclaimed “ sooooo cuuuuuuuute!!!!!!” as she hugged the koala bear upon receiving it from Mark, only to be rudely shocked by a “SNAPPPP!” sound. The koala bear was hugged with such force that its ring finger on its right paw (yes, koala’s have 5 fingers) broke, and the shocked and displeased girl did not fall for Mark.

Finally, was dog friend Jun Xiang, who could morph into a juicy winter melon, which Mark knew that ****** had a strange fetish for, and thought that it would be the perfect gift for her. As Jun Xiang morphed into a winter melon, Mark passed him over to ******, but to his horror, the girl who was strong enough to hug and break the finger of a 10kg koala bear was not strong enough to hold up a 1kg winter melon, and unfortunately, the winter melon slipped from her hands and landed hard on the concrete floor, smashed.

All three friends had failed him and he sank into depression, deciding to give up chasing ******, THE END…….

Moral of the story: Any similarities or references to real life CCP members are purely coincidental, and there is definitely more than one Mark, Yi Wen, Kelvin and Jun Xiang in this world, so dear readers if you for some reason think that this post is for CCP members to “dog” about each other, you are severely mistaken, as this project was merely an attempt for all of us to improve our GP skills and pass time (as well as GP – remember 6J, there is a GP essay test on Monday!). Hope you had as much fun reading this post as we had writing it, and good luck for Monday!

Snake!

It’s 20 minutes to the end of the last day of holidays, so here’s a post to commemorate the end… (i haven’t finished studying for econs thou)

Anyway, I’m sad to announce that over the holidays, I have lost touch with life, so I can’t find anything lame to say for this post…. So here comes the big question. “what have I been doing over the hols?”

The picture below says it all…

(oh wait the title says it too.. nvm)

Yes. its snake(for those who stilll dont’ get the picture, the picture shows a ultra long snake with a 2504 score at the top left hand corner). the legendary game from the past and our GCs. Somehow I picked up my old phone from long time ago. And got addicted to the game of twists and turns. After hours of lying on my bed with the phone in hand, I earned 2 things. A backache and a new highscore.

If this were maple, it would probably say, You have played snake for 14 hours, we suggest you take a break from snaking.

anyways, good luck for CTs. Maybe if you look at your T-shirts more, you’ll score better. (coz its See Tees) dots -.-

yiwenn
