Please take note of the following changes!

CHECKLIST before you leave home tomorrow...

Check if you have the following:

  1. Your Confirmation Slip / Entry Proof
  2. Your I/C OR EZ-Link Card OR Student Pass
  3. Your School Badge [seriously. This may seem redundant, but unless you want to waste time buying a badge before the paper begins, then you MUST have your badge on before and during the paper.]
  4. Your Dictionary for Paper 1. Make sure that it is one of the MOE-approved dictionaries. [PDF link]. Note that there are two Chinese Electronic dictionaries which have been approved for use during the 'O' Levels, namely the HansVision Handheld Dictionary Model PX2051 and the Besta All Pass 1 Computerized Dictionary.
  5. Also, make sure that you have the necessary stationaries. Pens, Ruler, pencil, etc. No correctional fluid / tape [well, you probably can use it as Yi Lei did last year, but it's not recommended, so don't]. No slips / pieces of paper. No nonsense.
  6. FOR GOODNESS SAKE, MAKE SURE YOUR HANDPHONES ARE OFF OR REALLY IN SILENT MODE WITHOUT VIBRATION. unless you want a 'T' for this exam.
All the best!

More buses...


X-Country!

Location: Bedok Reservoir

Time: 7:30am
Date: 20 May 2008


Map


Suggested route to Bedok Reservoir:

  1. Board the East-West Line and drop at Bedok MRT Station [EW5, just before Tanah Merah Interchange. If you leave in the West / Central area, then take the train bound for Pasir Ris. Otherwise, look at the map!]
  2. Once at Bedok MRT station, make your way via the underpass to the Bus interchange. This should be towards the right once you go down the escalator to the underpass, and to the left after you come out of the underpass.
  3. At the interchange, take any of these buses: 18, 69, 168. Drop opposite the Clearwater Condominium, along Bedok Reservoir Road. To quote Mr Kenneth Yeo: "You should press the bell when the bus is under an overhead bridge."
  4. Walk towards Bedok Reservoir!

Orang Asli?

I guess my answer on the tagboard was half-correct.

"Orang Asli (lit, "original peoples" or "aboriginal peoples" in Malay) is a general term used for any indigenous groups that are found in Peninsular Malaysia. They are divided into three main tribal groups – Semang (negrito), Senoi, and Proto-Malay(Aboriginal Malay). The Orang Asli are further divided into 18 sub-ethnic group according to their different languages and customs. The Negritos are usually found in the northern region of the peninsula, the Senois in the central region, and the Proto-Malay in the southern region. There is an Orang Asli museum at Gombak, which is about 25 km north of Kuala Lumpur."


Is Jonathan suggesting a visit to Gombak, Malaysia? I think so...
