Confusing Chinese Names

Caller : Hello, can I speak to AnnieWan (anyone)?


Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.


Caller : No, I want to speak to AnnieWan (anyone)!


Operator : You are talking to someone!Who is this?


Caller : I'm Sam Wan (Someone). And I need to talk to Annie Wan (anyone)! It's urgent.


Operator : I know you are someone andyou want to talk to anyone! But what's this urgent matter about?


Caller : Well... just tell my sister Annie Wan (anyone) that our brother Noel Wan (no one)has involved in an accident. Noel Wan (no one)got injured and now Noel Wan (no one) is being sent to the hospital.. Right now, Avery Wan (everyone) is on his way to the hospital.


Operator : Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn't an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don't have time for this!


Caller : You are so rude! Who are you?


Operator : I'm Saw Lee (Sorry).


Caller : Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!!

Best Joke in UK

This is a "BEST JOKE" award winner in UK - can't remember which year

One Chinese person walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw
Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to
him, and asks for his autograph.

Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says "You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Harbor, get out of here." The astonished Chinese man replied "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbor , it was the Japanese". "Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.

In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says "You sank the Titanic; my forefathers were on that ship." Shocked, Spielberg replies "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me." The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."

This particular joke won an award for the best joke in a competition in
Britain

Hui Lu and Shu Fang's Birthday Event

Let the photos tell the story........

After the birthday song, as usual... cake cutting

Let's murder the cake now. muahahaha.

Bringing the auspicios box of tissue paper...

Cleaning up after playing with the cream

A random shot of Hui Lu, one of the

birthday girl.

This is Shu Fang, another birthday girl.

Try to guess who Mr. Lai is passing

the cake to? It is so easy!

Yes, Hui Lu, what are you trying to tell Sadun?

Shu Fang, how about you, trying to call Hui Lu?

Mr. Lai is cutting the cake. (obviously.lol)

Hui Lu, just wait for a while, you will get the cake,

don't worry.

Ok, let's do some calculation. How much

of the cake is still left there, give your

answer in 3 s.f.

What's happening there?

Random shot.

Another one.

Come la, come la.

Enjoying the cake.

Kelsey, why you laugh until like that? Hmmm. Where to start le? Long story wor. The whole planning started just one day before Hui Lu's bday (the devil of procratination, even bday celebration planning oso we procrastinate nowadays). Anyway, Wei Ling, Yasmin, Kelsey and I pakat-ed. Actually we planned to have the celebration during the first math period. But unfortunately, when I went to buy the cake, I forgot one very important fact - my fridge is too small and its already exploding with my housemate's food! Too bad. Have to collect the cake the next day after 10am cos the shop opens only at 10am. So the celebration had to change to second math period liao.

So that night itself few of us msn each other. Starting with Wei Ling and I and we were discussing the agenda for the next day. Then Yong Chee Yew joined in so we explained the agenda thoroughly to him. He still suggested we should sing the bday song in cantonese version. And GUESS WAT? The next day he wasn't present. Gak dao already. Then Tze Cheng and Edwin joined in I think. Cos I'm still a bit blur blur sometimes whether its Edwin or Edward. Paisehhhh. Actually our ultimate aim was how to make the class high. So Wei Ling and I kept stressing MUST SING LIKE A MAN and STAND UP and CHEER and PASS THE MSG AROUND!!! Then Chee Yew, Tze Cheng and Edwin oso very semangat-ed liao and they agreed to do so for the following day. Tze Cheng oso helped us prepare the tissues for the cake and I suggested if worse come to worse we just use toilet paper then. :p

The following day....
Kelsey asked Mr Lai permission to celebrate Hui Lu and Shu Fang's bday during first math period. She wasn't online the night before so couldn't convey to her that our plans changed already. Anyway, manage to find a chance and tell her before the math period. Phew, first crisis resolved. Den the lesson droned on and on. Wei Ling and I still brainstorming on how to make Hui Lu and Shu Fang sit together without arousing suspicion so that it'll be easier and more convenient for the plan to be carried out. we were thinking of switching their places when the second row(middle) ppl leave the classes for break. Unfortunately, they left their bags in class so our plan crashed. Yikes! What to do??? *frantic liao*

Sitting plan arrangement:
second row(middle): albert, blank, surene, chier yit
second row(right side): shu fang, yasmin
Third row(middle) : kelsey, hui lu, kelly, wei ling

So...
Before Wei Ling and I went out to collect the cake during break time, Wei Ling was complaining to Shu Fang that the place we were sitting like Winder Wonderland only. Whole lesson cannot concentrate at all cos too cold already. Den I oso chipped in and kind hearted Shu Fang offered to switch places with us. Den Wei Ling and I thought that would be 'Perfect!' for our plan so we just play accordingly and continue to act naturally so that Shu Fang won't suspect anything.

Sitting plan arrangemant ( Revised Version after our plan switching plan succeeded. Mischief Managed!):
second row(middle): albert, blank, surene, chier yit
second row(right side): kelly, wei ling
third row(middle): kelsey, hui lu, shu fang, yasmin
*High fives with Wei Ling!*

After that, Wei Ling and I had to make up a crap reason to escape from Shu Fang and Yasmin to collect the cake at Secret Recipe. That was quite easy since Shu Fang blur blur that day due to sleep deprivation of the previous night. After collecting the cake, we went to the cafeteria to put it in the freezer so that the cake will remain nice and yummy!

After break was Biology, so Wei Ling and I were thinking how to cabut to cafeteria. Wei Ling suggested that we say we were going to the washroom. Then immediately I said 'NO!!!' cos Shu Fang definitely 100% will follow us so we came up with the second crap reason. No need to bother wat reason we chose la. Anyway, it succeeded. Haha. So we rushed down the flight of stairs and went to the cafeteria to set up the candles. The candle holder was really sucky so we just stuff the whole candle on top of the cake instead. And use the back stairs to get to the class quick cos the other stairs would have been flooded with human traffic jam. Before we went in the class, we tried to light up the candles but the wind was just so unhelpful so we just lighted up the one big candle only.

Background info:
Mr Lai was suppose to keep Hui Lu and Shu Fang in class and not let them go out to toilet. BUT he kept failing cos one went in then the other went out. Finally, two of them remained in class. Kelsey suppose to off the lights but cos it would too obvious that we were up to sth so we asked Mr Lai to off the lights and pretend to show us video clips after we miss call him.

Anyway, we miss called him but somehow he din receive it. Both Wei Ling and I were standing outside the class telling him to switch off the lights but he din get what we were trying to convey to him. Somemore he still opened the door and asked "What?! Oh, off the lights ar? Okay lo." What de......

And we rushed in with the birthday cake and said HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHU FANG AND HUI LU!!! And started with the english version and the chinese version of bday songs. Kim solo-ed one line of the korean version bday song. Nice one, Kim!! We lighted up the rest of the small candles while they were singing. Hui Lu and Shu Fang proceeded by making a wish and cutting the cake together. They were totally surprised by us. You all should have seen their faces. Haha. After that we started to dip cream on both their faces! Yippee! We din miss out Mr Lai's share of course! Haha. He threatened Wei Ling with her forecast results, as if that would work! Wei Ling definitely gonna aced Math right, Wei Ling? *winks!*

Overall, our class was really cooperative and the responses were good! Keep up the good work everyone! Looking forward to the next birthday celebration! :)

A few random videos, a bit blur, but hope that you all will enjoy.

Playing around with chocolate.

A few words from both the birthday girls.

Ok, time to clean up.

Random talk..

Holidays are over! I can't believe time is passing by as I am typing this sentence.

What do you do when you are piled up with homework, assignments and tests around the corner?

Your hair is turning silver, neurons are bursting, muscles are aching and the tensions are heating up.

Do you jump down from your window(hallelujah!), confide your pet, cry to your mummy or scream your lungs out like a lunatic at every five second intervals?

Nope!

log onto http://pm3rocks.blogspot.com/ and BLOG!

Firstly, I shall outline on what will be posted soon. Just as a reminder and since somebody is so eager for updates..

1)World Maths Day pictures coming up..(mummy once taught me to finish my homework before play.. )

2)All PM3s who have got a blogger account, do inform us. It's better to have more authors for the blog to keep it alive. We can have like 28 different people posting at 28 different days. One post per day, keeps the doctor away!

3)Any recommendations to edit the layout of the blog or suggestions to improve it?

4)A class portfolio is in the making as suggested by Tze Cheng

5)Hmm, let's all have a class outing!



Well, that's about it then. Good luck with your workload and I'm sure you all know what to do now when your day is not turning out well, right?

Euclide Competition

In the midst of the mid-term holiday, while everyone is still planning how to enjoy their holiday while completing tonnes of homework assigned by all the lecturers, a few of us from PM3 came all the way to college to join the Euclide Competition. For those of you who do not know what that is, that is actually a Mathematics competition that is held internationally worldwide. It is organised by the University of Waterloo, Canada.

Those of us who has signed up earlier through Mr. Lai, our Math teacher reached college before 3.30pm, the time which the competition was scheduled to start. Waiting outside the MPH, we saw Mr. Lai carrying the testpaper in. It looks heavy. Why? Bacause it contains a lot of paper inside la. Luckily he is not the only one who is carrying the papers. If he is the only one, then he will need to carry for the participants who added together can occupy almost the whole MPH. You will know how many students is that if you know how big the MPH is.

When we entered the hall, the participants information and the examination paper are already there waiting for us. Full of anticipation, we waited for the invigilator to say the magic word : You may start now!' We waited for everyone to stettle down before we start filling in all our information. The comeptiton started at around 4.10pm. But, the invigilator rewinded the clock to 4pm. She said it is for the convinience of everyone. She reminded us that no one should go out in the first half and the last half an hour of the entire 2 hours and 30 minutes of the competition.

The paper contains 10 questions. If I am not mistaken, those questions are arrnged from easy to hard. The first few questions are quite okay for everyone I guess but while approaching the end of the paper, the questions become harder na dharder. To answer those questions, sometimes you must need not just the Mathematics knowledge and skills but you will need thinking skills as well. But of course, you will not need to find the conclusion, assumption or flaw from the questions. But sometimes when you acnnot find the answer for the question you are doing, you might really hope that that question contains flaw. lol

When the paper started, you might think that you will not have problem finishing the paper as the first few questions are not too hard to attempt. Maybe some of you guys who went manage to finish the paper but sadly I don't. Anyway, the comeptiton ended at 6.40pm. As soon as it was ended, we left the hall while some of us forms groups and discussed about the questions when we are on the way going downstairs. I guess this is a very good experience for all of us who went. Hopefully next year more of us will be able to particpate in the competition.

Have fun!

World Maths Day

I was asked to blog about the World Maths Day . I think it's because I was the one who suggested it. Shouldn't have opened my mouth. Hey, I am typing without looking at the keyboard. Oh yeah, before I start, it's actually supposed to be World Math Day and not World Maths Day. You don't add the alphabet 's' when the word mathematics is shorten.

Ok, to you guys who do not know what World Maths Day is, it's just a competition where you try to answer as many simple mathematical questions like 8 x 7 in two days, one minute per session . I just don't understand why people take such a long time to answer questions like this. I mean 8 x 7 is 53. So easy.

Ok, so the competition was on the 3rd of March. It started at sharp 7pm and ended at 7 pm also after 48 hours. It was two days actually despite the name. So we had to stay up late to play that game. The only benefit we had were that classes were cancelled. We did not ask for permission though most of the time, we just cancelled them ourselves. Just look at our blog title.

The most spirited one was Christine I guess. Forcing us to play the whole day while she slept. Nah, joking, she stayed up very late. Everyone did a great job. Ok. I'll just leave the praises and conclusion in my conclusion.

During this period , we unfortunately saw the most desperate and selfish moments you can find in Taylor's. Oh yeah, we were not excluded. It wasn't a good thing though. Every computer in The Web was occupied and the library too.

Our score was devastating on the first day because not many people played. But, some miracle happened and we rose from hero to zero, no I mean zero to hero. We just turned into geeks playing that math thingy. We were so so so tired but continued playing. That time I wasn't sure whether listening to lecturers the whole day or playing that game was better. But I can tell you now that playing that game is better. Haha.. Sadly, we can only play 48 hours a year..

Ok, the next day, everyone (our class) started playing that game as a team. It was definitely much more enjoyable than playing alone. And it really sucked playing alone in the middle of the night. I am afraid of ghosts and I was making typing sounds. Might wake them up you know. Luckily I had a picture of Jesus hanging on the wall. Phew..

Wei.. how long am I suppose to type? Can I stop now?

Some of us went to FTZ just to play that game. Ok, our money wasn't wasted I guess as Mr Lai gave us a great meal at Pizza Hut when the competition ended. You guys should vote for him more.

All our efforts were paid off when we obtained the sixth position in the whole world. First in Taylor's if you wanna make it sound better. But I personally feel that we are number six no matter what. Ok la.. sorry..

So, I guess I'll just end my very first post in this blog. Congratulations to all who had put in their maximum effort playing this game. See you.

HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?

Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closedroom with an Open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.

If they are counting the Bricks. Put them in the accounts Department .

If they are recounting them.. Put them in auditing ..

If they have messed up the Whole place with the bricks. Put them in engineering .

If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order. Put them in planning .

If they are throwing the bricks at each other. Put them in operations .

If they are sleeping. Put them in security .

If they have broken the bricks into pieces. Put them in information Technology .

If they are sitting idle. Put them in human resources .

If they say they have tried different combinations,yet not a brick has been moved. Put them in sales.

If they have already left for the day. Put them in marketing .

If they are staring out of the Window. Put them on strategic Planning.

And then last but not least. If they are talking to each otherand not a single brick has been moved...Congratulate them and put them in Top management

WATER BRIDGE - OVER A RIVER !!!

Even after you see it, it is still hard to believe ! Water Bridge in Germany .... What a feat! Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long.......now this is engineering! This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and joins the former East and West Germany,as part of the unification project. It is located in the city of Magdeburg , near Berlin.The photo was taken on the day of inauguration.

To those who appreciate engineering projects,here's a puzzle for you armchair engineers and physicists.Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge trafficor just the weight of the water?

Answer: It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship,regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded

The Sri Lankan is tired and just wants to take a nap so he politelydeclines and tries to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists, and saysthat the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you don'tknow the answer, you pay me only $5; you ask me one, and if I don'tknow the answer, I will pay you $500, he says. This catches the SriLankan's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play thegame.

The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from TheEarth to the Moon?' The Sri Lankan doesn't say a word, reaches in hispocket pulls out a five-dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the Sri Lankan's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up ahill with three legs, and comes down with four?' The lawyer uses hislaptop and searches all references he could find on the Net. He sendse-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After onehour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes up the Sri Lankan andhands him $500. The Sri Lankan pockets the $500 and goes right back tosleep.

The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the SriLankan up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs andcomes down with four?'

The Sri Lankan reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goesback to sleep.

If anyone of you all know who the lawyer is, tell me! I want to sit beside him next time when I am in a longflight. =)

Stress Test

Dear Friends
This is a very good STRESS TEST - but don't feel stress looking at it.Please stare till the end...!!!!

Stare for a few seconds at each of the following patterns. Are the patterns moving? Or are they perfectly still??

The patterns are used to test the level of stress a person can handle. The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress. Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly. However, senior citizens and kids see them standing still.. None of these images are animated - they are perfectly still. How did you do with the test??

Early this year..
