Smash Mouth
Allstar

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin' kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with takin' the back streets
You'll never know if you don't goY
ou'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey, now, you're an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a Rock Star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait till you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin
The waters gettin' warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
Hey, now, you're an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a Rock Star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold
Go for the moonGo for the moon
Go for the moonGo for the moon
Hey, now, you're an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a Rock Star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars
Somebody once asked, "Could you spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place"
I said, "Yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change"
Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go (Go)
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey, now, you're an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a Rock Star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold
FINALLY!!!!!!!CHASMS is over over over OVER!!!! i am like, so relieved...haha.
seems like these few days many people are caught up in the webs of love. like ivan, 2e1 " [//Ivan\\] Waiting 4 U [//Ivan\\] " OR...well...some other people lah.
couple of interesting stories to share. right below:

STORY 1
When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (Ink won't flow down to the writing surface). In order to solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. And what did the Russians do.....?? The Russians used a PENCIL!!!

STORY 2
One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a customer had bought a soap box empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed though the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.
But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, did not get into complications of X-rays, etc but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it to the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Moral of the story: KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) i.e always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solutions that solves the problem =) so, learn to focus on solutions, not on problems.

CHASMS

gotta run man...haha...have fun...
This is for the attention of my fellow CHASMS project groupmates

Updated to-do list:

I was not able to find any information about the male costumes. So, we(Lijie and me) decided to change it into other things instead of only doing costumes.

  • Chinese: opera(learnt some kewl facts during music. Did we, Lijie? =P)

  • Malay: male Malay dance, again introduced during a music lesson.

  • Indian: that Thaipusam(sorry Reghu if I've got it wrong) thingie where the males have to pierce their bodies and run on hot ashes...correct me if I'm wrong.

Here are some other changes to bo made and agreed on.

  • Interviews. Please. Can we interview, properly interview Mrs Doris Lim or any other school "member"? I don't mind being the one to ask questions.

  • Colours of the world. DIE DIE DIE!!! Can't find anything. Any kind soul who went for that remarkable session of CHASMS session where we played and talked about the colours of different races can tell me anything?? If not we'll have to change it to Eurasians or something like telling people who buy our 'zine where to get the best deals for traditional costumes(I like that. Can we have it?).

DEADLINE:(if possible)NEXT WEEK!!!!

Min's Perfect Pizza Dough
Enough for two twelve-inch pizzas

Ingredients:
one and one-third cups warm water
two teaspoons active dried yeast
three tablespoons olive oil
three and a half cups flour, sifted

Steps:
1)Mix everything except the flour together.
2)Sift the flour in a mixing bowl. Make a hole in the center.
3)Pour the mixture from 1 into the hole.
4)Mix everything together with a spoon. Use your hands to knead the batter into a dough that is smooth.
5)Cover the dough with a damp cloth. Leave it to rise for about one hour.
6)Divide the dough into two. Put them in separate bowls and let them rise for another twenty minutes.
7)Spread a thin layer of olive oil on a pizza pan or any other pan that is about twelve inches in diameter. Using your fingertips, flatten the dough on the pan. Top the pizza according to your taste and bake it for about twenty minutes in a temperature of one hundred and eighty degrees.

Tips and suggestions:
-Some toppings would be canned button mushrooms, pineapple cubes, ham, broccoli or capsicum.
-Instead of kneading with your hands your can use a food processor.
-Before flattening your dough on the pan, dip your fingers in olive oil. This makes it easier to handle the dough.
