Pulau Ubin (11//10/06)
What: Pulau Ubin Trip
Who: abi, chelsea, elaine, hannah, joseph, josephine, jiamay, sarah, shih hui (left in afternoon), yuli. I have this horrible feeling i left someone out but for the life of me i cant figure out who it is. i fail. :(
edit: it turns out to be kiam. oops. :P
When: Wed, 10:00 (theoretically anyway. we moved off at 10:40. :P) - 6pm, whereapon we had a really good dinner at changi village.
This time will be new and improved posts from your favourite bird...i come with pictures! :) If you want all the pics, bug me on messenger. I dont really suggest it tho, the're kinda crappy.

happy people in the boat to pulau ubin.

yes, my camera is as strange as me.

no, taking photos in japan wasnt enough. i think we've become addicted to the camera. :P

the beauty of candid shots. i dont even know what is happening here.

how we never fail to entertain ourselves everywhere, anywhere.

sarah plotting her evil plan to take over pulau ubin and turn it into her private vegetable garden.

chelsea being, well, chelsea. :)

everyone after looking (and feeding) fish and prawns on a bridge.

elaine: "the sun scares me so much!" haha, not really. yay candid shot!

a very hungry elaine, part 1.

elaine again, part 2. you can see that nothing can stand between our foodie and her food.

picnic lunch by the beach time!

yay lunch photo! :)

pretty girls (er okay, to be more precise, only josephine. :D) in a pretty garden!

at the "secret garden", but if the guide is telling everyone abt it, how is it a secret?!

action shot! our occupation 90% of the time...cycling, or stopping to look at fruits/take photos. :)

im kinda sad to say the first thing i thought of when i saw this was "powerpuff girls!". photo otherwise known as triumphant ppl who conquered pulau ubin. :)

we're trying to pretend we're not anywhere near singapore at this point of time. i dont think it worked. :(

i think the funniest thing about this picture was that they were naturally standing like this, then when i pointed my camera at them they started to change post. the action women of 0502!

the famous "chess" shot to complement the girls' flower shot (people who hav this, plz upload? :P) elaine looks more interested in the "chess" than the guys la. lol.

i think elaine liked pulau ubin so much she wanted to become a mermaid and live there permernantly.

jm hard at work, so that...

we leave our mark on this island!...or not, as the tide will come in and there it goes. but oh well. we have photos! :)

2/3rd of the french fries, on the boat trip home.

intense discussion on the ride back.

busy people...

psudo busy person! she's not talking to anyone lor. but good acting huh. :P

i just think everyone's expressions here are kinda cute (esp kiams! hahaha.) i'm just an extra, ignore me.

dinner at changi village. ordered a scary amount of food. turns out we were REALLY hungry. :)
and to end off...thank you for viewing!

What is Stress?
Paper title: What is stress and it's measurement?
Presented and contributed by:Lim Huihui and Abigail Lum
Definition: Stress is defined as a form of tension, a kind of energy caused by any other objects on oneself.
Assumptions:
Energy can not be created nor destroyed.
Energy can be internal or external energy.
Stress is a form of energy.
Methodology:
This paper focuses on the measurement and quantity of stress over a period of time. Stress can be either caused by external or internal influences, however, in this study, we only focus on stress caused by external factors due to the escalated effects internal influence(e.g. Neurotic, paronoid, obsessive-compulsive behavior, depression, etc) can have on oneself that is hard for us to handle. In other words, Hannah Loh is not included in the study.All results are measured and carried out at r.t.p.(room temperature).
Results:
Units for Stress: h
Units for time: weeks
Eqn of graph: Y= (infinity)h^sq + C

Initial rate of change of stress = inifinity
Rate of change decreases initially = the love of what you are doing fades away, and you get more and more tired each day.
When dy/dx = 0, one had reach it's maximum and ceases one to operate functionally.
Discussion:
At maximum point, when rate of change in stress is 0, one comes to an instanteneous rest as
one ceases to operate functionally, and at that split second or day or week or month, one shatters into pieces as mentioned in the graph above, and since stress is a form of energy, stress is transfered into other energy, such as kinetic energy(one starts to ran around like mad dog), sound energy (one starts to scream and cry), potential energy(one starts to struggle with his own mind), etc.

In Abi's Theory, Stress is like a sin curve, where there are peaks at the top and bottom, which could also be another possiblity to discribe Stress. To Hui Law, rate of change of stress decreases as one ceases to operate functionally, shattered into pieces and nv able to stand up again
In my opinion, stress is a scary thing, makes pple work, work harder and eventually overwork and that's when pple can't take it anymore. The most scary thing is rate of change of stress can be infinity.. who can predict how stress you are?
Sometimes to some people in somewhere, an x^sq graph might not even be enough to explain everything about stress..
Hence in conclusion, stress is a invisible monster which can bring you high up and crash you eventually.
What do my friends think? I wish to hear a free flow of comment soon.
