Thank You

Still find the need to thank you. Last night, this page has recorded over 300 hits! Thank You!
The Angus Hideout will still continue to bring in more latest news and *points to one side of the Hideout.*

You see a small door. Feeling curious, you open it. You see... Wow! *bang*
Just then, the door slams shut and you notice the words "Sneak Peak" on it.
Knowing that it has to help with your studies, you go home and start doing the VS 5 yr series starting from 2003.

We can do it. Jiayou! 加油!

Copied from 93.3FM Thank you for being the first radio station again.
Thank You! Put fireworks! *bang* Very nice! Put more fireworks! *bang* Put more bombs! *silent* Oh, cannot ah, sorry sorry! ~ By Chew Chong Kheng

谢谢!谢谢!放烟火!*bang* 很美,再放烟火!*bang* 再放炮!*安静* 哦,不能啊,sorry sorry! ~周崇庆
there's a better version but I can't hear it clearly. Will record it when I get it.

H1N1 Spread

School reopens in a few days. Perhaps people have overlooked the most important and frequently used transport system - buses and trains. Let me play out a scenario in the bus.

This person goes into the bus. Because he doesn't know that he has the virus (only 44% of cases have fever), hence he spreads it around. Because the physical conditions in the bus makes the virus thrive even better, for students who sit in the bus for 1 hour will be the most likely victim. Why? They spend hours playing computer, and don't go exercising , hence their immunity is low. The carrier will just spread to his school and family members and viola! The whole world is dead.

In the train, it's more packed, but the duration spent there is greatly reduced. Australians do not feel the high rush of panic, because they are more spread out (2.84/km2)unlike Singapore whose 6,814/km2. We were ranked third in the world.

Now, in a crowded place, why do some people get the disease and some don't? I think it boils down to how strong your immue system is. Now I'm not saying that you should go and buy and drink tonics or hit the gym 4 hours a day. I don't think there is any direct relation in that. I have a friend who runs about 3 km easily everyday, but he's always down with colds and coughs.

I'm also at a loss of what to do, but I do keep us with my exercising routine and keep calm, because the power of the brain is humongous. It's like will power and this is not a miricle. This is proven.

You should also do the necessary precautions to protect yourself. Go out in a mask if you have to.

Be healthy and be well
Until next time
Angus

New teachers, Split classes

Mrs Foo suspicion for split classes are on the dot. Both Chemistry and Physics will be split. Ms Gloria Boey will be taking over a few of you as will Mr Koh Chee Kiang. The latter is an expert teacher with many years of teaching and you will definitely get what he's talking about no doubt.

*looks around* Ms Boey is very nice. Very good. Yep. Very nice time. *looks around*

Okay, so with the new addition, expect to see more drama! *drama?*

Do this NOW! before you forget

As you have read in the news, there will still be school for Victoria School. (DO your hw.) Please note the following from Mr Ron Tan.

  1. Go to VS Website and download TRAVEL DECLARATION FORM. Get it signed, even if you didn't go overseas. You need the form to enter school on Monday.

  2. Bring your thermometer on Monday. If not, you have to pay $10 to buy a new one in school. 

  3. Just don't come to school and go to a doctor if you are feeling unwell on Monday. Even if you haven't travelled overseas!

  4. Please ensure that you have self-quarantined for 7 days before coming back to school if you have returned to Singapore only on/after the 22nd June from an affected area. Contact your FT/AFT if you need to take leave of absence from school. If you are feeling unwell (even if you have no fever), go see a doctor and do NOT report to school on Monday. Everyone must practise social responsibility!

  5. While you are at the VS Website, get your timetable!

I've added the links to it. Please pass on the message to everyone even from other classes, your juniors. I would like to clarify something. In the "Notes to Parents" under Paragraph 5, it says "required to re-submit the travel deeclaration form, attached together with this letter, when school re-opens." The correct thing is you only need to submit the form. Leave the "Notes to Parents" online.

 Do NOW!

Last Week of School Holiday

H/W list has been updated. I should be seeing you less online.

This will be your last week of holiday. The school is going to start on 29 June as for now. Also, be reminded to bring your School PE Attire that day and not any VS Challenge shirt or any other CCAs shirts for that matter.

ACSI and AHS AM and EM Mark Schemes from your other schools compliation papers are put on LMS already. So please mark at home and think about why you go wrong.

Remember stay tuned here for any latest updates!

Extra School holiday

Update: It's not confirmed. I've emailed the teachers and as of now, the answer is "No".

Ernest Lim said on Facebook "HURRAY SCHOOL IS CLOSED FOR 1 WEEK!!!" According to him his AFT told him, which will be Ms Ho Seok Lay, which will be credible. Anyway, if that is so, you'll have no excuse to not finish your hw, and I'm open to another week of help for anyone who needs it. There is one bad news though. Our Critical Enquiry Wksp is on that first week. There is also the torch relay, so I think S4's will still attend school. I'll confirm with the teachers, so please stay tuned to where ever you are reading this. On the blogspot or my Notes in Facebook.
