    Bookshops

    Not necessarily. If you join their Card Club for $15 per year (borrow it off a friend if the discounts won't pay off the price of the card for you, or get a few friends together to chip in a dollar...) you get 10% discount off all books in the store, including Educational titles, putting it a...

    Competitive vs non competitive

    98% of our year freely share their marks around; sometimes someone would get a really bad mark and rather keep it to themselves, which of course is perfectly understandable. What I do not understand however, is those who get competitive by keeping ideas to themselves in class. We were having a...

    The Musicians Thread.

    Played Electric Guitar for a little over a year, but I have taken a break since the beginning of this year due to exams and the backlog of homework we got the first term of year 11. Plan to continue the coming holidays because of my itch for music.

    Drinking Water and Pimples

    I think it's more of a placebo effect; the estimate that an average human needs to drink 6 - 8 cups of water a day is a gross overstatement. This is because the human body natural absorbs water from other sources of food. A study was done by Dr. Oz (from Oprah :rolleyes: ) involving identical...

    How do you have your coffee?

    1. Instant Nescafe Gold Blend with condensed milk. 2. Instant Nescafe Cafe Latte (the one where you add milk and ice and it's ready to go) 3. Or, if I'm really bothered I use a plunger and Vittoria ground coffee with a lot of milk and three teaspoons of brown sugar.

    Should Maths be Compulsory?

    I think Maths should be compulsory, and it is compulsory at our school for the Preliminary year (are they allowed to do that?). What I find sucky is the fact that there is a compulsory two units of English counted towards the UAI, as although I am considerably better at it than Maths, I think I...

    Best Economics Textbook

    Our school is using the Cambridge Economics Textbook which they just bought this year. It's not too bad, considering the fact I got 90+% for an assessment and full marks in my essay about Price Elasticity of Demand. But, I think my teachers notes and data helped as well. I'll check out the books...

    weirdest food

    Had preserved/salted snail slices (no idea how it was prepared) in a high class Yum Cha in Hong Kong. Didn't taste too bad, something between preserved Chinese vegetables and this crunchy vegetable thing I had once. Think it's called Escargot in French, but I don't think it was prepared the same...

    Foods that make you go 'eww'...

    Anything with mandarin or orange peel as an ingredient. Too bad the Yum Cha's around my place seem to be obsessed with putting it into the Dim Sums... Although I do like mandarins and oranges very much. I also have a dislike for Mangosteens and Pomegranates.
