Hmm...rear 24 inch too hmm...didnt noe..

Hmm..tis too..guess there is still much to learn..

Monday, August 25, 2003


Wont mind bashing in one of these if e army buys them hehe~ ;)
Notice e rear rims r smaller, they are 24 inch while e front is 26 inch..hmmm..some bikers are weird

Tis frame is virtually unbreakable wif gussets everywhere, notice both e wheels are 24 inch..crazy how far can they go on this..

Actually why pple put 24 inch on their rear is so tt going down hill e weight is cntred more on e rear so u wont fly over ur handlebars
N both 24 inch wheels so for ease of flicking or doing tricks..tt i still dont noe why..

Some new bikes to drool at..

Survivor-style boot camp for ramen firm execs
TOKYO - It takes tough managers to succeed in Japan's cut-throat instant noodle business, and one company wants to ensure that it has the toughest - through ramen noodle boot camp.

Nissin Food Products gave the world its first taste of instant noodles - chicken ramen - on Aug 25, 1958.

To mark the noodles' 45th anniversary, the Osaka-based company wants its newly promoted managers to spend three days on a tiny, deserted island.

They will learn to dig their own toilets, make fire from dry leaves, catch their own fish and even carve their chopsticks from local bamboo.

The plan is to promote team spirit, perseverance and creativity, said Mr Masanaga Oguchi, spokesman for the ramen noodle maker.

More importantly, it is to let the new managers rediscover the value of instant noodles.

'In our daily lives, all you have to do to make instant ramen is pour hot water and wait a few minutes, and we take it for granted,' he said.

'I'm sure participants would appreciate our product in a situation where they have to go through a lot of trouble just to make hot water.'

During the Aug 26 to 28 boot camp, the group of eight employees will be joined by four other people, including Nissin president Koki Ando and personnel department staff.

Futon island, about 420km south-west of Tokyo, has no electricity, housing or sewage facilities.

Apart from the company's instant noodles, participants are permitted to take only uncooked rice, soy beans and wheat.

If they find the rice bland, they can use salt - but they will have to make it from sea water. -- AP - Strait Times interactive

Bright ideas Bosses have hehe~...now i noe how we feel when our "Bosses" implement some stupid rule or exercise...kah zwah..

Stop asking me wat environmental eng. is...
Hmm..went to read e prpspectus again. Need some assurance
feeling consloed now hehe~

Frequently Asked Questions
Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering) at the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, NUS

Question 1. What do students learn in Environmental Engineering?

Answer: Environmental engineering is a multidisciplinary field, and students learn not only engineering principles, but also microbiology, chemistry and ecology. Solving environmental problems requires a fundamental understanding of the natural processes that influence the problem, as well as of the engineering approaches that can be used to resolve the problems.

Question 3. What is the difference between Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering

Answer: There is much in common (as well as significant differences) in the Environmental Engineering and the Chemical Engineering programs; the two programs share a common first year. From Year 2, Environmental Engineering students begin to embark on more environmental science and engineering subjects. Both the education and job markets for graduates in Environmental Engineering and Chemical Engineering are somewhat different, but there is overlap in the job markets for the two disciplines. While some Chemical Engineering graduates are employed in environment-related areas, there are many other jobs that require a mix of skills and in-depth knowledge, which are better provided in the Environmental Engineering program.

Question 4. Is Physics important in Environmental Engineering?

Answer: Physics is important in all engineering programs. However, in the Environmental Engineering program, there is also heavy emphasis in microbiology and chemistry....wheeww!!...

Question 5. How well recognised is the environmental engineering program at NUS?

Answer: The B.Eng. (Environmental Engineering) degree at the NUS has received accreditation from the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), UK.

Question 6. Where do environmental engineering graduates find employment?

Answer: Environmental engineers may be employed in private industry, consulting firms, or government agencies. The graduate employment survey of year 2002’s graduating class showed the following: Oil-related/petrochemical Industries (4%), Semiconductor/Electronic industry (12%), Chemical industry (4%), Environmental Technology/SHE Technology (4%), Government/Statutory Boards (36%), Further Education (20%), Others (20%)...government sh*t...dont wan!!!..


Question 7. What is the demand for environmental engineers in the local market?

Answer: Environmental engineering is a relatively new and rapidly growing field. Environmental Technology has been identified by the National Science and Technology Board as one of the market areas for research and development in Singapore.

Question 8. How much does an environmental engineer earn?

Answer: The graduate employment survey of Year 2002’s graduating class showed that the majority of our graduates received a gross monthly salary of between $2500 and $3000. A quarter of the employed graduates received a monthly salary of between $3000 and $3500.

The Telegraph said a French newspaper blamed a bird for starting a fire in the Loire, central France.

The tired bird had rested on an electric wire and was electrocuted. Its burning body then fell onto a haystack, triggering a blaze which spread across a forest- The Straits Time Interactive

..wat nonsense...

The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
Ok found it..Revelations 16.8-9

The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
1Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth." 2The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.
3The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.
4The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:
"You are just in these judgments,
you who are and who were, the Holy One,
because you have so judged;
6for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets,
and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve." 7And I heard the altar respond:
"Yes, Lord God Almighty,
true and just are your judgments."
8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. 9They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.

10The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues in agony 11and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.
12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. 13Then I saw three evil[1] spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.
15"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."
16Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
17The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!" 18Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. 19The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. 21From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

Dont wish to be there??..me too..

Dont reuse disposable water bottles

Water bottle bacteria risk cited

Students trying to save a buck by reusing water bottles should be aware that they’re risking their health.

Dangerous bacteria and potentially toxic plastic compounds have been found in the types of water bottles typically reused in schools and workplaces countrywide, reported the Canadian Press.

A study of water bottles, authored by Cathy Ryan of the University of Calgary, found bacteria in elementary school children’s bottles that would prompt health officials to issue boil-water advisories, had the samples come from a tap.

The bacteria likely came from the kids’ hands and mouths over time as they repeatedly used the same bottles without washing them or allowing them to dry, said Ryan.

Researchers discovered bacterial contamination in about a third of the samples collected from kids’ water bottles. Some samples even showed evidence of fecal coliforms.

Dr. Gerry Predy, Edmonton’s medical officer of health sent out a public warning to keep the bottles clean.

Single-use soft-drink and water bottles are commonly made of a plastic called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which, while considered safe for its intended use, was found to break down over time.

The Canadian Bottled Water Association recommends that bottles be used only once. The International Bottle Water Association also recommends using the bottles only once.

“These convenience-sized PET containers are designed and intended for single use only and easy recycling and compatibility with the recycling system. After consumption of the product, PET containers should be placed in a recycling bin for collection or returned for deposit, where and if applicable,” said vice-president of communications Stephen R. Kay.

Dr. Richard Rowland, a doctor at Algonquin’s health centre, agrees that bottles should only be used once, especially during the summer because heat causes bacteria to grow faster.

Preliminary research conducted by a graduate student at the University of Idaho suggests that the kind of thorough washing that could kill bacteria might make the bottles unsafe in another way.

Frequent washing might accelerate the break-down of the plastic, potentially causing chemicals to leak into the water, their study found.

“The fact is, a lot of these compounds have not really been studied in terms of their human health effects,” Margrit von Braun, a University of Idaho professor told the Canadian Press.

Plastics experts contend the bottles are safe. The study ultimately concluded little is known about what happens when the bottles are reused.

“The longer you used it, the more stuff ended up in the water,” said von Braun.

Karen Chiarelli, a secretary in the health center, was unaware of these findings, “I wash my bottle in the dishwasher,” she said.

One of the toxins that frequently appeared in water samples from the reused water bottles was DEHA (diethylhydroxylamine), a carcinogen regulated in drinking water because it has been found to cause weight loss, liver problems, or possible reproductive difficulties.

Von Braun said she was surprised to discover how widespread the reuse was — and how long some people would hold on to a single bottle.

“A lot of people use them for weeks, and sometimes months, literally until it's leaking,” said von Braun.

But with individual water bottles costing up to $1.50 at the college, students may try and squeeze as much use out of their bottles as possible.

Guys dont save tt money n harm urself even more..

Place for emusic-ers



STuff one of my faves..but only got grey..liked
last years army green very robust n looks very strong

Shred wat a weird name..haha..

Scrap..it will e scrap in my hands..so heavy duty
wanna drop down 5 floors with it..

Roast..hmmm...e frame tt Josh wans but i
advise him to get last year's one last year got anodised brown very cool looks
abit like Scrap

Intro: All these are dirt jump bikes used for dual slalom..bike super cross..or even freeriding..
wat makes them so unique is e extra strong frame n extra welds at e joints to prevent cracking due
to e impact off landing from a table top, turn down, x--up or bar spins..act very pro here haha..wanna
do this but cannot due to e fragileness of my frame..this bikes need strong parts=more weight =hard
to climb had a hard time tinking of whether to take e XTC coz its very fragile but noe i do more road n
cross country stuff so...maybe next time..

To all considering buying bicycles consider wat u wanna do:...
-u wanna get thru Bukit timah??..Cross Country..
-24hr marathons..epic cross country..
-Fly past every gap n nail it..Downhilling..
-Jumping up curbs..Cross many urban obstacles like picnic benches..freeriding(trials)
-Crusiing thru air over humps n humps gaining air..Dirt Jumping, Bike Super Cross..freeriding toozz..

Xc need light bikes..Freeriding need bikes tt can take e damage(heavier)..Dh-er even
stronger bike muz be able to take droping 2 storeys n more..even e componets are diff for
xc n freeeriding so muz really consider horz..dont be dumb buy one bike for 1 use..waste money..can be used to feed e poor..=)
