Its been a rather hectic week, with tons of test, homework and exams all bundles together. The most notable thing that had happened so far was the AGM of the SC.
JIC you do not know what i am talking about, the student council had their AGM a few days ago and now, you could more or less say that the 27th Student Council is in office.
But, many things are very very very weird, and i don't think most people are very happy about it.
As i mentioned in my previous post, I was quite glad that YJ would still be with us for another year. But now, with the sudden changes by the teacher, YJ will no longer be our exco and it is now replaced with Anna. I found this terribly wrong.
First of, i only knew about this on the day itself. And anyway, the earliest of it being known was just the day before. Essentially, the teachers are only giving us 1 day to respond to the sudden change. I did not really like the change, cause Disco this year had already lost quite a huge amount of people during the election period, and now, we just lost another one because of the teacher's decision.
And as far as i know, the teacher's had promised not to alter any of the leadership position...
Now, lets take a look at the Central comm., not that i am being critical of it:
President: Tang Wei Guo
VP: Ho Kwan Ling, Choon Yen
treasurer/secretary: Er.... i forgot...
And how many people lost their rank in SC. As far as i am concerned, i count 3... Is that the teacher's promise????????
And, almost three years ago, one of the teacher in-charge of the SC told us that in the year we are in Sec 3, there will ne no such as things as Committee and everything will become one council. Well, I am in Sec 3 now, and i don't see it happening.
Sometimes, i think it got something to do with the way the teachers are doing things.
First of, when you talk about uniting the whole council together by taking away committee, you did not notice that what you are doing now is not promoting the council to become one council. Take this year new SCs for example, the moment they entered SC, they were posted to different comm. and were trained from there to perform their job. This led to a decrease in interactions with councillors from other comm. which would not promote the council to be looked as one.....
I mean, come on...
Second one is a bit of a joke. The Ad-Hoc committees. Well, they are back, with only one problem... They are very very very picky. For example, one read, only sec 2s.... Another read: 4 social comm. members.
I mean, you get my point do you...
And the greatest joke of the week is that the SC investiture is to be held on 8/8/2005.. Am i correct?
That is like, 6 months earlier compared to 2 years ago and about 2 months earlier than last year. Are they really so eager to get things done and locked in before problems cropped up, or are they over confident that this year SC will actually be gifted from the beginning......
Anyhow, on a side note... Anna is the head of our comm. and we all are very sure that she would be able to do a good job. Yujia, good luck for the rest of the year, you'll be remembered...

Advance Wars 2 'Strategy' : Bundle City
Well, its been such a long time since i last talked about advance wars 2 startegy. I hoped that people who played advance wars 2 had benefitted from the walk though of little island.
Now, its time to fulfill the thing that i had promised for so long, the next advance wars 2 strategy, Bundle City. It is part of a celebration for finishing the physic test.
Bundle city is a pre-deployed map, thus you only have a limited amount of troop. In this map, you will receive:
1 B Copter
1 Tank
1 A-Air
1 Rocket
1 Artillery
1 Recon
2 Mech
2 Infantry
Another note is that bundle city has a huge amount of Cities, so much so you will think that this map was created simply for 1 CO
So it sounds kinda restricted eh? Well, there is a CO domination strategy available for this map which i exploited. So lets just get down to it shall we...
Our Best Pick CO:
Sensei (Yellow Comet)
Recommended COs:
Andy (Orange Star)(As can be seen by his CO power and he's overall usefulness in pre-deployed)
Colin (Blue Moon)(Tons and tons of city for you to capture, go and get Power Of Money and let those money you collected be useful)
Kanbei (Yellow Comet)(Always useful in pre-deployed map due to Overpowered troops)
COs that are OK on this map:
Max (Orange Star)(Because of his strong close range forces)
rocket right at the start... That probably explains everything)
Sonja (Yellow Comet)(Force your opponent to attack the wrong thing due to the concealed health and works well in FOW)
Jess (Green Earth)(Because of her annoying powered-up vehicles which can move very fast due to the easy terrian)
The rest of the COs don't really work on this map as
a) The map does not have very heavy penalties on terrain like mountains and trees as there is too much cities already
b)They do not have their strengths on this map (Eagle and Drake) so they seem completely useless...
Well, after the analysis of COs, lets get down to the strategy for the best pick CO.
As you can see from the map description, this map is just full of cities all cramped together, so why do i love Sensei so much on this map? Just because of his CO abilites.
His CO power causes 9HP infantry to land on all allied cities, ready to be deployed
His Super CO power causes 9HP mech to land on all allied cities, ready to be deployed
What does this essentially mean? This means that this map would no longer be a pre-deployed map. This is because you will just keep on receiving more and more troops while your opponent who did not choose Sensei would be crushed under the constantly appearing infantry and mechs.
In fact, sometimes they would become so scared they would not even dare to attack you...
You must remember that Sensei strategy lies in capturing lots and lots of building. The more building you capture, the more powerful your CO power will be, simply because more and more troops will land. You will also do well to remember that Sensei got an annoying firepower bonus for the foot soldiers.
So what can i say?
Have fun laughing at your opponent as you start a bloodbath with your troops, i mean you got too many to spare... Let your foot soldiers march across the map taking damage and getting wiped out. Once the CO power charges up, let it rip and continue marching across the map until you finish off your opponent.
One piece of advice for people trying this strategy: Do not disperse your troops right at the start of the game, because you still have to blunt the early attack of your opponent. Also, don't let them touch your infantry unless you have at least 3 buildings captured. There is an annoying counter against this strategy which includes wiping out your infantry first.
In short, do watch your troops. This strategy is not like the little island where it is usually a sure win. Provided that your opponent thinks logically and wipe out the infantry, you will be so doomed...
Another side note: Just like in Little island, Colin is very strong here under the hands of a pro... Do watch out
Go trash your opponent...
The next advance wars 2 'strategy' would be on hold for a while due to the annoying fact that there is tons of homework and no one for me to test the strategy on...

A reflection over old posts...
Well its been some time since i had last been here. I feel it is time to reflect on an old post which i had written some time back. The post was originally named "The president of the council and the head of our committee". For those of you who kind of remembered that post, it would not be surprising to you that actually that post still exists, although i am not very eager to tell you where it is.
You could say that that post had some effect on our comm. as a whole, i mean, if we could hold a meeting just to talk about that it would mean that there is some effect. I am here to conclude it and to end of this post that had given me some trouble.
I think i would have to thank those people who had helped to made this matter clear to everyone who were still in the dark when i typed that post. I must say this, that after this year, i feel that my initial opinion that our comm. head does not "like" us had been too strong. After evaluating that point for some time, i feel that it could be because that this action could lead to a council spirit which is what the teacher had been emphasising all this while. Somehow, i feel different about our comm. head after such a long time and i am quite glad that i would be able to be under her leadership for another year, and thus i can repay all my misgiving to our head. So you could say that it is a happy ending.
As for the other person i talked about it that post. I do not think that she had been able to notice the post because i do not see much of a change from her. As far as i can see, she is still being not very serious, but at least she gets the attention of the council now. I think that is quite an improvement and i think that we should applaud that.
As for the rest of the council, i must admit that i do not know much because i tend to stick to my own comm. but i think that the happening this year had proved to me that our leadership is, if not perfect, correct.
Meanwhile, since i am on the topic, i guess its time to say goodbye to the people who would not be able to follow us to the 27th council. Words is not exactly the best method to express feelings but i guess if you are reading this that you got the point.
And guess what, Seok Hui is back...
So, i guess it is time to wrap up this topic. I hope that i would not have to type this sort of article ever again. Meanwhile, i'll just comment on the speeches made by the candidates for the president of the student council: Can't they stop exaggerting the fact that they are from a committee in a council. I know that that is a very good way to get votes, but to me, i think that the best way not to have the things that happened last year to happen again is to let the president be someone who interacts with almost everyone.
I don't think that this is mine to comment further...
