Participated in the Chancellor's Challenge Shield with edchong (who finally returned my Linear Algebra text) and kkok today [as Team 4OKOJ, years after the first edchong/smk combi], after smacking a few tennis balls around with my cousin at the top secret Kent Ridge Hall tennis court at about 8:30 am. Didn't realise that there are hot showers in the halls! Successfully out-lated both my teammates, to my intense joy after years of failure. The preliminary round of fifty MCQ questions began at 10:30 am. They didn't have the standard OMR forms, which was fine, but the custom answer sheet they gave out had ovals that were 1.1 cm in length, and 0.9 cm high - and the organizer even explicitly stated that the whole oval had to be shaded. In case you are wondering, that is a lot of pencil lead. 
Sponsored by a pencil company? There were a number of questions that made one sit up and think, as well as a few giveaways (Steve Jobs oversaw McDonald's expansion, anyone?). I soon realised that I had been skimming over mere details a bit too much for contests of this type. The reader might wish to have a go of it, from this random selection of 30 questions, mostly culled from the preliminary round with few adjustments, and a few from the final rounds where options were not given: HCI won rather convincingly against VJC and NUS in the finals, with the most amusing moment coming when the NUS representatives polled the audience for help in determining the nationality of Miss Universe 2008. A bunch of guys immediately started shouting "Russia! Russia!", and the team happily took that as their final answer. Turns out it was Venezuela (Ms Dayana Mendoza, to be specific - Russia last won in 2002)... Wonder what happens if multiple teams from a school end up scoring the best in these competitions - HCI Team 1 vs HCI Team 2 vs HCI Team 3 for example wouldn't be as fun for the rest of the spectators. 
(Sources: About.com & CBS News) Had a short discussion on political correctness over lunch and 3 person Daidee - it appears to be all a-ok to compare a white President to a chimp, but try to do it once to a (half) black President, parodying a recent news event to boot. This extends to certain religions as well, which probably won't help them any, but hey, it's their call on how to respond to little digs. $1490.25/$1800 after United did the job against Derby. I'll take the simple win again. $100 on Man Utd to beat Blackburn (at 1.20) Next: Si Liao Lah
