Soya Bean Curd (without soya bean milk maker)

Can we please have another Singaporeeans-come-together-cook-food-and-get-fat session? The one we had last Saturday was FUN! Who is cooking next?? Hmmm.. I smell Sheryl.. (burning kitchen smell)

Those who think their cooking is good enough to set HILC (or whatever place) alarm off, please volunteer to wash dishes instead. Many thanks go especially to Sheryl, Kelvin, Caroline, Henry, Xiao Rui, Desmond, Joshua, blah blah.. for helping to clean up the kitchen. Those who didn't, hmmm.. there's always another time.

Let's get fat together!

It has come to my attention that not all participants of the above-mentioned exercise knew its exact game plan. I have enclosed a report summary of events that happened on the day of reckoning:

Date: August 30th, 2006

Venue: Holland International Living Center

Parties involves: Freshies @ Cornell who hail from the sunny island of Singapore-- and as Caroline found out, no, Singapore isnt a city in China, nor is it in the Caribbeans/Pacific.

Objective: To execute a surprise assault on Objective Xiao Rui, drawing on the strengths (@ baking strudels) of Ernest, followed by the finale capture of Objective Ernest.

The plan was executed in phases:

1) Pre-exercise Simulation exercise: This was conducted to gauge the general response of the general public. And judging by the number of "???" and blank stares when quizzed "where is the Birthday Card huh?", it isnt difficult to tell how popular Ernest and Xiaorui are! Too many are fighting to sign on the card!



Best Wishes from Well-wishers. Eloquent, arent we?



2) Final exercise Simulation, before the actual assault. Ok, cake is ready, the crowd enthused about singing the birthday song. Redcon 2A. Well done, guys!



Ha! To think I managed to pull it off! Sorry, wrong target acquisition, guys!

3) Fragmentation Order (refers to last-minute change in order while on the move) : Because of delays in the convoy, higher HQ has decided to capture Objective Ernest before proceeding on with Objective XiaoRui.


Wow! I am so surprised. Or was I? Well... at least Ernest played along... =)


4) Mission Blitzkrieg Ernest declared a success! The main body takes a breather, while Commanders gather to discuss plans for the final assault...


"Oei! Don't cut the cake! Out of budget, so planning to recycle one! "


5) Scouts reported sighting of Objective Xiao Rui, straight ahead, <>

Huh? Coming already? But where? How? Oh No!


6) Meanwhile, the main body gets restless...


"I have movie-screening"/ "I am hungry and want to eat"/ "I need to use the gents, cant tahan already"/ "Hmmm... mamamia... the pizza looks really nice le"




7) Objective Xiao Rui well and truly within sight. Target acquired, fire!


Aye, given my ligament problem, I had to climb stairs to get here, so it has better be good ah...




8) Success! Mission Completed! Now for the food!


Kristal was the only one with the energy to help hold up the cake while Missy cuts the cake... with a fruit knife from Henry's Cafeteria. Apologies for the lack of logistics...




Finally, the organiser (Sheryl) gets to eat the cake.. wait a min, she didnt, cos it's in my hands! Muahaha...

Thanks guys for the wonderful evening! Eagerly awaiting the next bash.

Hi !!!

This post is addressed to specific people, so for those unmentioned few, buzz off. lol

1) Wanjing-- great job on masterminding Evil 101. I think you have learned well from your first 3 lectures, and that is a good sign. You sure dont look lost @ Cornell! Cheers. Keep it up, continue to expound on Maas' lectures and modify them into ur very own lecture series, and before you know it, your posts may have already been uploaded onto the psych 101 website, and you could be invited to join the Maas lecture, only this time round, as a guest speaker rather than part of the audience.

2) Gries-- dear Prof Gries, I think you are a fantastic fella'. Ur manila folder analogies are novel, and ur attention to details and patience at repeating almost every single piece of information that you had deciminated are commendable. So too is your attempts to work the crowd by getting us all to repeat after you slogans like " A type is a set of values and its associated operations" or " A variable is a named box with value in the named box". So cool, i cant wait to set up a consultation session with you! Must be interesting and enlightening.

3) Shery & Kelvinl-- I want to commend you for ur attempts at baking. The slight difference, however, was that while Kelvin was bold enough to show off his brownies, Good 'ol "Sherry" chose to devour them on her own. Aw... what a selfless and self-punishing sweet little gal, who risked gettin tummy upsets than infecting the rest of us with gastronenitis/ Diarrhoea. Oh, and thanks to Xiao Rui for getting Kelvin, Sherry and I familiar with that terminology.

4) Henry-- pls stop crapping, stop THAT laughter (which I innocently protest, was initiated by Jian Qun, but further expounded by urs truly), and get real! Whatever happened to the promise you made to yourself to remain positive however trying circumstances can be? You may have problems with FWS, with the ENGRI Assigt 1, and with Vector notations in Math 192, and with horse-riding because you dont know if you will be assigned a trained or violent pony, but get a grip! Somewhere down South at Balch, there is someone who is havin problems of her own.. with brownies, and somewhere in the middle, there are others (Frank, etc etc ) who stuggle to beat each other at DOTA, so here's some consolation.

Masterminding Evil 101


If you take Psych 101, you should know this already. If you don't, you've been sleeping in class :), this is mainly for the non-psych people, I was feeling bored.

The steps to perpetuating evil aka How to be an Evil Mastermind

1. Start with an ideology justifying your actions. Instead of asking your people to go do this or that evil act, tell them

"In the name of XXX, we must do ...."

Where XXX can be national security, scientific advancement, religion (or a certain 3 letter word), or in this case 'all cornellian singaporeans'

2. Have a authority figure to legitimize your ideology, like a President or a Chairman. He must be powerful and authoritative, so that people will snap to his orders. No committees that bicker, they will only lead to factions forming and your minions wavering.

3. Have rules/policies that establish what to do in a specific situation. Restrict people's options to only those that you desire.

4. Create unusual situations that permit taboo acts. People are unlikely to do immoral things in a normal situation, so create an unusual situation where they don't know what to do at all, so a taboo act might not appear abnormal.

5. Make initial harmful acts minimal & trivial. No one will just start off being evil enough to torture others, so give them small tasks to get their feet wet. Then when they have crossed the threshold, close the door behind them so they can't get back out.

6. Make subsequent acts gradually more harmful until your minions are as evil as desired.

Start by being evil to these:



and move up to these:



and finally *drumroll*:



7. Displace any and all responsibilty to the authority. If your minions express any doubts about an order, tell them " Just do it, if there are any problems, I'll handle it, you won't be blamed', and they will happily do the evil act.

8. Train your minions in the skills you desire, but DO NOT give them any training in challenging authority or exiting the organisation.

9. Take over the world :)

Ok, so I was bored. Baseball tryouts are postponed to monday, so I have time to do all my work now. Anyone want to go down to P-mall these few days? I need to get some stuff.

See you all at Frisbee!
