Sabbatical week is fun! xD I'm in the "Being an Individual Investor's Course", which basically teaches the basics of investing in the stock market. I have to say that the course is quite enriching thus far, and I've learnt many new concepts. Hopefully I can put those into use in the near future. Yi Zhang is also in the same sabbatical as me. Anyway, I'm joining not for the sake of ACE, since my Maths ACE is already full xD

The lectures can be dry at times; but random jokes and funny stuff from us Sec 4s lightened up the mood a little. The Sec 1s were pretty unresponsive relative to others, well because, yeah, they are still Sec 1s. In the next few days we'll have virtual trading :D But all calculations are done on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet instead of the "real" virtual stock market.
Anyway, the iPhone has been scheduled to be released in Singapore by SingTel on the 22nd August. In fact, I have even received an invitation email for the reservation and booking of the phone. However, the pricing seems a little too high for me to afford; so I might consider not buying it in the end. It's $648 in case I'm going to re-contract with the same plan. If I upgrade my plan, it's still going to be a painful $348. Maybe I should consider getting a HTC Touch Diamond instead, which is obviously more economical without the "Apple" brand.


And yeah, on Monday recess, Yong Boon managed to achieve this feat:

It's a slackish week; and I'm lovin' it xD
