U.S. President Barack Obama turned on the charm at an event in Wisconsin when an audience member told the president that his daughter Kennedy was missing school to come hear Obama speak about healthcare reform. One 10-year-old Wisconsin girl has a rock-solid excuse for missing the last day of school: a personal note to her teacher from President Barack Obama.

I’m likely to go learn driving since I have a Basic Theory and I sort of just stop there.
I’m looking for private driving instructors, preferably at Bukit Batok or Jurong East area. Any recommendations?
Ontario high school junior Daniel Burd wanted to try to figure out if there was a way to get plastic bags to decompose faster. As it stands, it takes thousands of years for the wasteful objects to disintegrate. But by using bacteria, he figured out how to make it happen in a mere three months.
WCI student isolates microbe that lunches on plastic bags
Daniel Burd’s project won the top prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Ottawa. He came back with a long list of awards, including a $10,000 prize, a $20,000 scholarship, and recognition that he has found a practical way to help the environment.
He knew plastic does eventually degrade, and figured microorganisms must be behind it. His goal was to isolate the microorganisms that can break down plastic — not an easy task because they don’t exist in high numbers in nature.
I didn’t know Will Smith is a scientologist.
Contains 6 Scientologists as teachers and offers “Study Tech” which was developed by L. Ron Hubbard and is used worldwide by the Church of Scientology. No longer the prince of Bel-Air, but rather a slave hubbard.

“I took a bunch of picture, you can see them in my MySpace page, along with my favorite songs and movies that people have created that I use to express my individualism.” Well said!
I haven’t been blogging as regularly. I was busy with a couple of projects, learning some Japanese and a horrible upcoming math exam.
My project is just hanging that, it’s not moving as fast as I thought it would. There are lots of mistakes I made and sometimes I wasted a lot of time implement stuff wrongly. I hope I don’t make the same mistake again… It’s so time-consuming.
On a happier note, I finally, finally finally, decided to take up some Japanese class and learning some ã‚ã„ã†ãˆãŠã‹ãÂÂãÂÂã‘ã“. It’s an interesting language and I bought a book to help me along. It’s just something I thought I’ll pick up during my free time as some sort of an educating leisure.
And yes math. I didn’t like math too much. I can score quite well for it strangely. It’s the subject I do best it. But somehow I just didn’t like it. I like knowing history, I sucked at history.
Finally a friend is leaving Singapore already. I have so many friend leaving Singapore these days. We’re doing some farewell thing for him. It’s great because I get to meet all the army guys again. We still don’t like the commanders so no commanders shall be invited.
I just watched the National Day Parade. It’s the retelecast, I sort of missed it because I somehow forgot. This year’s location seemed different from the previous year but it’s one of the better locations. I love the city area. Perhaps one of the better NDPs; wished I were there.
This is kinda absurd, the school loves costume play too much they just had to single out those who didn’t come in costumes. Honestly, I don’t see really see much benefit in wearing traditional costumes. I mean it would look great and all but it just not that necessary.
School says students not punished for not turning up in costumes
Ethnic garb was the requirement for this year’s Racial Harmony Day celebrations at Jurong West Secondary. To all good intent, this was meant to create a better atmosphere and make it a grander occasion, according to the school.
But what happens when pupils turn up without an ethnic outfit? Some 30 to 40 of them, who did not have costumes, were taken out of the activities and made to stand outside the school office for one-and-a-half hours, said a parent who called the MediaCorp Hotline, after her son was one of those who missed the finale.
“We had trouble borrowing costumes, and I didn’t want to waste money buying something that he would only wear once a year,” said Madam Ng, who declined to give her full name. “Why should they be punished for that?” (more…)
