Attention Singaporean Readers!
I have a small personal request. Now, I usually keep personal stuff out of this blog ever since it stopped being a place where I recount my daily activities with great attention to insignificant details and wanton cynicism. (Those were the days.) But I decided that since I have a decent local readership, it won’t hurt to abuse it once. Or twice.
Made in China
So if you are from Singapore, read on because I need your help! Foreign readers, please stay tune as this blog will soon resume its regular coverage of trashy anime series and mass-produced moé merchandises.
NIC 2007
As part of an initiative by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), various tertiary and educational institutions organize annual IT competitions for students in Singapore.
The Singapore Science Centre is organizing the National Infocomm Competition 2007, a quiz challenge where teams of three from various schools answer random arbitrary IT questions that range from “what is a mouse” to “what is the best-case complexity of bubble sort”.
This year, the organizers decided to “spice things up” (i.e. fix something that wasn’t broken) by introducing some silly point system that allows the teams in the finals to gain points by receiving votes online.
Help Us!
My team is in the finals for the Junior College category and we are appealing for your help! (Because we are all losers in real-life with no friends.)
It’s very simple. Go to the NIC 2007 website and click on “Online Quiz”. After answering three simple IT-related questions correctly (you can redo the quiz as necessary), you will be prompted to vote for a team in the finals.
Step 1: Click on “Online Quiz”
Step 2: Attempt the quiz
Step 3: Google for answers (optional)
Step 4: Vote for “Team 1″!
The final step is extremely important! You have to vote for “Team 1″. (Yes, it’s an extremely stupid name but I wasn’t the one who filled up our application.)
You will also be required to enter your real name, e-mail address and NRIC number (this is the part where you need to be from Singapore) because, as an online voter, you stand a chance to win a Playstation Portable! Yay! (However, it is not stated whether it will be the Slim version.)
Thank you for your kind attention! :P
P.S. I’m also looking for a part-time job for the school holidays. Anyone hiring? LOL.

You know, by just stating Team 1, the people supporting you might end up voting other Team 1s.

Done it! Had to go about updating my flash to 9.0 first though. Can’t even load the site when I was still using ver.8.0. =_=
…And yes, ‘Team 1′ is a really lame name.
November 8th, 2007 at 10:17 pm
I guess the school choose the name for them.
RJC is well known for their obscene number of distinctions.
November 8th, 2007 at 10:25 pm
I’m sorry darling… I did want to vote from you. But then I realised which Junior College you were from.
Sorry, but old alliances die hard.
I was from ACJC. =p
November 8th, 2007 at 10:36 pm
Voted! All the best.
November 8th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
DONE!!!
November 8th, 2007 at 11:25 pm
Actually it’s standard practice for lazy people to use “Team 1/2/3″ as the team name. It’s just that I think the person filling in our form didn’t realize that the school name isn’t part of the team name by default. (Which is not the case with many other competitions.)

Voted….Nar…..
