hinder - lips of an angel
Honey why are you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk crying now.
Honey why you´re crying? Is everything okay?
I've gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words just makes me weak
And I
never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
Does he know you're talking to me?
Will it start a fight?
No I don't think she has a clue.
Well, my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words just makes me weak.
And I
never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful

crossroad
Once more at the crossroads,
Lord where should I go?
Every path a mystery,
No signposts that I know.
I'm confused about everything,
What I feel, what I should do.
I know that I should trust you,
But I really wish I knew
What path that I should follow,
The life I ought to make
,How to fill this hollow,
When and what to give and take.
Should my mind or my feelings,
Or blind chance lead the way?
For my feelings pull me strongly,
But my mind has more to say.
I could always follow chance,
Because it's only chance to me,
To God it's part of the big plan,
One huge cosmic mystery.
Once more at the crossroads,
Lord where should I go?
Every path a mystery,
No signposts that I know.
Help me God, guide me,
I do not know the way.
You are the one true shepherd
Please lead me through today.

mount faber
u guys should go there.
couples especially.
here's y..
here's a bit more about mount faber:
Mount Faber, formerly known as Telok Blangah Hill, is a hill about 106 metres in height in Singapore, located near the Bukit Merah planning area in the Central Region. It overlooks the Telok Blangah area, and the western parts of the Central Area. The summit is accessible by road, but there are many footpaths leading up the hill.
It is a frequent tourist destination, as it provides a panoramic view of the increasingly dense central business district within the Central Area. Its slope includes a tower that is part of the Singapore cable car system that connects to HarbourFront and Sentosa. It is accessible from the HarbourFront MRT Station.
Mount Faber was known as Telok Blangah Hill but was later renamed after Captain Charles Edward Faber of the Madras Engineers, the superintending engineer in the Straits and Governor Butterworth's brother-in-law, who arrived in Singapore in September 1844. Faber cut through the thick undergrowth, allowing the road to the top of the hill to be built. The original winding road was referred to in the press at that time as a "stupidly narrow road".
The article also questioned the change of the name from what it deemed its originally more appropriate Malay name. A signal station was erected on the hill in 1845, and the Malay used to refer to the hill as Bukit Bendara (Flag Hill). This signal station was transferred from Pulau Blakang Mati (now Sentosa) because of the "injurious miasma" on the island.
After the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the Straits government decided to convert Mount Faber into a fort for fear of revolt among the local Indian sepoys. Defence work was carried out and granite emplacements for guns were completed halfway up the hill, but Mount Faber never became a fort. An observatory was built there in 1905.

megapixel
Pixels per inch (PPI) or pixel density is a measurement of the resolution of a computer display, related to the size of the display in inches and the total number of pixels in the horizontal and vertical directions. This measurement is often referred to as dots per inch, though that measurement more accurately refers to the resolution of a computer printer. PPI may also be used to describe the resolution of an image scanner or digital camera; in this context, it is synonymous with samples per inch.For example, a display that is 11 inches wide by 8.5 inches high, capable of a maximum 1024 by 768 pixel resolution, can display about 93 PPI in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This figure is determined by dividing width (or height) of the display area in pixels, by width (or height) of the display area in inches. It is possible for a display's horizontal and vertical PPI measurements to be different. The apparent PPI of a monitor depends upon the screen resolution (that is, number of pixels) and the size of the screen in use; a monitor in 800 by 600 mode has a lower PPI than the same monitor at 1024 by 768 mode. The dot pitch of a computer
display determines the absolute limit of possible pixel density.The pixel density is useful for calibrating a monitor with a printer; software can
use the PPI measurement to display a document at "actual size" on the screen.PPI can also describe the resolution in pixels, of an image to be printed within a specified space. For instance, a 100x100-pixel image that is printed in a 1-inch square could be said to have 100 pixels per inch, regardless of the printer's DPI capability. Used in this way, the measurement is only meaningful when printing an image. Good quality photographs usually require 300 pixels per inch when printed.

now in singapore, people reserve seats at food places with weird stuff like tissue.
this is what we call the tissue technology (reminds me of stem cells)
in the future, people in singapore will start to reserve power points instead of seats.
thats for the many many laptop uses.
talk about how technology changes life.
laptop is becoming a necessity.
then a accessory.
no wonder energy is so very important.
think about it.

Raffles Junior College is introducing its own diploma
yes yes, OMG! OMG!
i know how you feel.
Just four years after introducing its six—year integrated programme for the Raffles family of schools, Raffles Junior College (RJC) is gearing up to take pre—tertiary education in Singapore to a new level.
In what is a first for an established junior college, it is introducing its own school—leaving certificate, the Raffles diploma. This will be awarded to students who undergo a new programme that will see them taking advanced—level modules and building up a portfolio of research projects, on top of their A—level subjects.
And in time to come, the diploma might even become an alternative to the A—level certificate. The junior college is considering offering the diploma, as well as the International Baccalaureate, as choices alongside the A levels. "We recognise that the students want more choices in terms of the types of programmes available to them," said RJC principal Mrs Lim Lai Cheng.
The plans come even as the idea of a merger between RJC and Raffles Institution (RI) both share a campus at Bishan is being discussed. For starters, both will have the same members on their respective boards of management, when the term of the existing RI board ends on May 31.
Beginning with a group of 80 to 100 students to be selected from this year’s JC 1 cohort, the
Raffles diploma programme still a "prototype" will be extended to include a wider pool of students next year, Mrs Lim told TODAY.
Until it gains more recognition and gets accredited, students will be awarded the Raffles diploma along with their A levels when they graduate, which they can use to apply for a university place. Currently, only the NUS High School of Mathematics and Science, which began in 2005, has developed its own educational certificate.
The aim is to give "highly able" and "gifted" students the chance to maximise their potential, said Raffles Academy dean Mrs Reavley Munn—Ye, who is spearheading the new programme.
It will include a community work aspect: In Academic Service Learning, students will take on research projects to develop solutions for socio—economic issues faced by the community.
They may also be attached to research institutes and universities to work on "real—world problems", said Mrs Reavley. "These students will excel at the A levels that’s not a question for them so what we want to do is stretch them beyond what the A levels can offer."
In the 2006 A—level exams, 912 of RJC’s students scored at least three As or more, the highest number among all the junior colleges.
Mrs Reavley pointed out that the new scheme is really an extension of the Raffles Academy programme, under which select secondary school students from the Raffles integrated programme take higher—level modules and project work beyond their curriculum.
"Basically, we’re introducing the Raffles Academy programme at the junior college level," she said.
Talks are also in progress to strengthen the link between the junior college, RI and Raffles Girls’ School (RGS). Merging RI and RJC would streamline the administrative processes between the programmes and allow them to pool resources, said Mrs Lim.
Asked if the merger would be similar to the one between Hwa Chong Junior College and The Chinese High, which became Hwa Chong Institution in 2005, Mrs Lim declined to make the comparison.
She added that details such as whether a chief executive officer would run both schools, or even the name of the school would be worked out over this year.
Some students say a merger would simply be a "formalisation" of the links between the Raffles schools.
"For us, it’s like we’re already part of one school," said JC2 student Ho Wen Jun, 18, who was from RI. "It could be even better in the sense that as students, we can consult a wider pool of teachers from both schools."
Raffles alumnus contacted by TODAY were optimistic, if cautious.
Said Mr Irvin Tan, 25, who studied at RI and RJC: "It’s a good idea... it will be a fledgling programme that’s ultimately a social experiment, so it will need to have proper performance indicators. And you need to ensure that the majority benefits from it."
