<beats khevolution up> You had me worried there! :p

Isn't this thread an oxymoron then? :p

That's not very helpful... :eek:

Lol! great spot! Saw a Quattroporte, X6, Flying Spur, F430, new RS6 and mk1 Elise/Exige

Gosh i really feel like i should be doing something to help. Unfortunately nobody's organised anything over here...

One thing though, if you're in one of those small towns and the huge fire is headed towards you, where on earth do you flee to? :(

Aye. Same.

'Tis a depressing time we live in... Even me as a Singaporean, who faces 33deg heat all year round, would absolutely wilt in the temperatures of Melbourne right now. BTW, how you coping Shadow?

:thumbsup:

Wow Scar looks like you were really lucky. And yeah, I've never experienced it but I agree that it must be a harrowing experience. Anyway, back to Mark's first post. I told him about it this morning before school, and when I read the article, i was really speechless, almost on the verge of crying. It's so tragic what's happened. Couple of towns razed entirely to the ground. The extent of the damage, it just boggles the mind... But the really depressing bit was an eyewitness account of a man who, seeing the fires approaching, decided to flee. He put his two kids (5 and 2 yrs old iirc) into the car, strapped them in and turned around to grab something from the house. When he came back out, the car was on fire :eek: It was just, I didn't even know what sort of emotions i was feeling when i finished reading that. All this weather and everything, it's just crazy :(

*facepalm*

The best picture I've taken in quite a long while although that's really not saying much... Was just sort of the best pic of the day... =( http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Parkour/CIMG5736edit.jpg

Rats forgot to go take a pic! Maybe considering the low number of entrants, we could keep entry open for another week?

argh this is annoying!

Alright, 8.38pm, i'm guessing this is postponed? I managed to get into the game and so have a number of other people, but there's nobody from TDU-C Edit: just saw Sting's most ^ Rats. Really annoying. Woke up at 4.15am for this... Call me crazy but this'll probably be my last cruise for some time

I didn't think they'd actually make this! Awesome!

No the Ruf RK is the Boxster, which is mid engined

The problem is that I don't enjoy taking Chinese anymore. In fact I haven't for the past 6 years

Yeah. Like the thread says... I'm stuck in a dilemma. In school I'm required to take two languages, English and a Mother Tongue, which in my case is Chinese. Instead of doing the regular O/A level express stream, I am doing the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Baccalaureate Now, the IBDP requires all students to take a second language, as does the Ministry of Education. Thus, I have been studying Chinese for the past 10 years since primary school. Last year I passed my Chinese O level paper, scoring a C5. This year though, since I'm starting the IBDP proper, I can choose between taking Chinese at Language B level, or other languages at ab initio level. Basically, I am considering German for the latter option. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IB_Group_2_subjects Because of my (hopeful) career choice, I feel that at least having some basic knowledge of German would be useful later on, and I'd really rather like the opportunity to pick that up. HOWEVER, taking Gernam ab initio means I have to drop Chinese B (which I don't mind, since I've never been fond of Chinese). Now the IBDP has no problems with that, since all I need is a second language as part of my list of chosen subjects. The problem lies here: The Singaporean Ministry of Education does have a problem with me not doing Chinese, and states that, in order to take up a non-mother tongue ab initio language, I am required to sit for the Chinese H1 A level paper. On the other hand, sticking with Chinese B means I won't have to sit for the A-level paper, and would probably be quite a lot easier. The problem with taking German is that 1) I will be taking an A-level paper that is of a rather higher standard than I've done before, without really taking any lessons from now till then, and 2) My Chinese is frankly, crap. Plus I don't really have much interest in it. So, should I a) Continue with Chinese B, a subject that should be fairly easy to score, despite not having much interest, or b) Take up German ab initio, learn a new language of which I have interest but have to struggle for the bloody Chinese exam in 1 or 2 years time without having any lessons in the meantime? I'm asking you guys cos I just want as many opinions as possible before I finalise my subject combination for the next two years of my education. Serious answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks PS I realise that I may have some difficulty getting my point across clearly, so please please please ask me to clarify anything that seems vague or you don't understand, particularly the background of the Singapore education system
