The yen had rose from 1.24 in first quarter of 08 to 1.66 in the present( per 100 yen). The financial crisis had became an economic crisis!! Fortunately, Singapore banks had guranteed all saving deposit( foreign or local) and there is an upcoming integrated resorts( or casino) to boost the economy. The economic crisis had cost lots of devastation to the economy( especially those relationship managers, or fraudsters in disguise who care more about commission and bonus ,who "conned" many elderly that if they put their money in the DBS high notes for 5.5 years, you can earn 27.5% interest rate, which is too good to be true). By the way, Halloween is somewhere near and approaching and wish all readers a happy halloween.

The financial crisis
It has been a very bad month. The 300 british pound I bought is just worth a mere $700, collapsing about $116 since I bought it in May. ( Fortunately I did not bought the DBS high notes 5 series). The currencies are dropping like mad, icelandic krona- not accepted(economy collapse,all large bank close down),euro-2.20 drop to 1.90( bank are not safe, do not dare to lend each other).

Life as a Secondary 2 student in 2 EP
The past year was quiet a fruitful and meaningful, with lots of buzz. Everyone had scored quite a good result for this year, thanks to our teachers who had taught us this year, especially our form teacher, Mr Davamoni.( I will never forget your frequent lectures and guidance). Actually, I am quite in a loss during the last day in 2EP as we may not be able to see your classmates in the same class next year. Time seems very slow but yet so fast. Frankly speaking, my job as a class chairperson was quite satisfactory. I had to mark attendance( I was quite infruiated when the AFT marked the attendance on the wrong date), handle the class diary( It was one of the most "magnificent" diary I ever saw: stickers on cover page, graffiti in the diary) The classroom cleanliness was not so bad [managed to clinched to 3rd, but unfortunately, there is no prize] and the noticeboard was one of the most outstanding piece that showcases talents in our class. The Zhong Zheng Bian Bian Bian performance by our class was brilliant, and we managed to get consolation prize of $30. Overall, those who are involved did a great job, with a special thanks to Samuel, who contributed much effort to make this performance a success and directed the performance. I shall wish all the best and able to enter your desired class next year! ( better not to forget about holiday assignment)
26/10/08
The past few days had been a tough one, especially memorising the first aid, footdrills, CPR and bandage for two full days. Yesterday's promotional test to lance corporal was very tough, from 8am to 4.30pm. The footdrill test was not bad, but my final command was a little weird. The worst was the bandage, which I tied the reverse spiral roller bandage from the wrist to the forearm. Open House is on 1 november, I have to do first aid duty. After the duty, I still have to go for ABRSM theory grade 7 test from 2-5pm. ( what!!)I have to start revising now( french, german, italian,english terms, instruments, decorations) and to pass my paper( passing mark 66). Happy holiday and happy halloween day.( 31/10)

Post exam activities
The post examination activities was quite well planned, especially the literary financial workshop. The literary financial workshop was my favourite programme as I know more about managing my own finance through board game. The board game was fun and it started off with a 'very bad note'. I went unemployed for 1/3 of the game( just like other players in my table), paid lots of money due to property taxes, insurance, and borrowed once. The stovk market crash once, but fortunately I bought stocks after the crash and earn very little. The telecommunication and bank stocks I bought remains stationary for most of the game and I was totally infruiated. I managed to get a reasonable total of $52400, which was not quite bad. The talks was very interesting, especially the humorous, and creative video they had created, which was brillaintly done and appeals to us.
examination results
My overall results was very bad or disastrous. I still have doubts if I am able to enter triple science. By the way this is just an ESTIMATE of my end of year results.( SA2 only)
ENGLISH-58/100
CHINESE-59/100
MATHEMATICS-80.5/100
SCIENCE-73.5/100
HISTORY-58.5/100
GEOGRAPHY-64/100
EL LITERATURE-65.3/100
I think with this kind of results(1 A1, 1 A2, 1 B3, 1 B4, 3 C5), it is impossible for me to enter triple science:(
But fortunately, I had A1 for D&T (75) and Home Economic(78), so it will just increase my chance by a little only. Regarding my options, I am still in a dilemma. With such bad results, most probably I will enter double science and double humanities.

As it is impossible for the market to stay in negative territories, let us have a slice of a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to have a slice in the currency market.( with special thanks to yahoo finance)
australian dollar hits new low
As in this graph, australia dollar had hit a new low against singapore dollar and it is time for greedy people like me to buy cheap australia dollar. It is due to the Australia central bank lowering the interest rate by 1% in 26 years. Hurray! let as not let this money making opportunity to slip by, hurry and grab a slice of the market.(special thanks to yahoo finance)

EL debrief
Today, it is one of my worst day. After a short weekend break( still have to attend CCA on marking day-too bad) , I almost forgot there is flag raising ceremony and forgot to bring tie. Being thick-skin in a sense, I bought a tie for $6 for nothing. (Did not expect so many people did not bring their tie) The English debrief was so lengthy and boring. The EL situation writing or formal letter quite okay but the essay was a total disaster. just forgo my asparation to enter triple science. The EL comprehension is just satisfactory but I am not pleased with result( a mere C6 only). Presently, the marks is 62/110 for english and overall, my projection for year-end english result( C5-C6), overall English result( C5-B4). I had to embraced for more storms ahead in the next few days. ( results will be a definite F9). By the way, I had an unsuccessful interview in NUS high School and had an " interrogation" by two HODs and a deputy principal, so I will be still in Chung Cheng.( actually it was an astonishment to me)
