teamboat was founded in 2002. the exact date is not known, but the formation of teamboat took place during a warmup
session before rugby training began. it all began when roland played a game of random team on battle.net
before training. relating the experience of the game to daniel, roland talked about him having a
horrible partner who referred to the unit "steam tanks" as "steamboats". daniel then had a brainwave, and
the two of them decided to create accounts called teamboat1 and teamboat2: the name thought up due to daniel's fascination with food and warcraft.
guanghao joined shortly after the formation of teamboat, due to the need for intelligence to balance out the
gluttony in daniel and good looks in roland. together, the trio have accomplished feats such as making
seoul garden move out of j8. armed with their passion for food and good recommendations from guanghao,
teamboat strives to test (and at the same time, destroy) all buffets in singapore.
currently, the strength of teamboat stands at 3: daniel, guanghao and roland. there is, at the
moment, only 1 associate member: clement.

econs!
today marked the start of big exams after 6 months of slacking. wait make that 8 since november. and it was econs! =D
ok first it was the essay question. there were 2 to choose from. 1 about junk food and the "fat tax", and the other about spas and market structures/economies of scale. so, being the lazy bugger that i was, i chose to not try to remember all the factors for internal economies of scale like factor indivisbility, container principle, specialization and division of labour, technical economies of scale, financial economies of scale and managerial economies of scale. strange how it just comes out so fluidly here, in front of my computer, as compared to in front of my test paper. hmm. so anyway i chose the "fat tax" one because i felt that i could offer a more comprehensive analysis on it. yarright. i was just lazy =D i said that demand for junk food was inelastic. okok you gotta agree with me here: junk food has not many available and close substitutes. furthermore, only a small % of everyone's income is spent on the junk food, which is because it's a normal good and only people who can afford it will spend money on it. lastly, lets be frank. food that are bad for you usually taste much better. therefore, the combination of these 3 factors make demand for junk food relatively inelastic, right? however those unenlightened other people keep on arguing that it has a relatively elastic demand, which is making me start to worry at the moment. =(((
meh, on to the drq. i did not understand much of the drq at all. okay sure i could identify the trends, etc. but i had no frickin idea how to expand on the "if you were a financial advisor" question. so i'm screwed. =(((
mcq was pretty much a breeze, because i "finished" the drq around 5-10 mins before the collection, and had time to start on the mcq. there were standard tricky questions, of course, but i think that i was careful enough to avoid making too many mistakes. forgot definitions for merit good, which proved to be fatal (okay it's 1 mark but every mark counts =D)
so i'm guessing i will get a C or a B, considering that i THINK that i did okay for my essay and quite well for my mcq (keyword: THINK). =D
studied history at venezia after brunch/going home. not too bad i guess. i actually squeezed in a little more information into my already-saturated brain. haha. usually if i were at home it'd be. turn on the comp --> surf net --> turn on downloads and head over to bed and sleep --> wake up --> bathe --> eat dinner. whereas, at venezia i went eat --> talk --> study --> talk --> study+talk --> talk --> talk --> go home. so i guess i was more productive today than usual. effectiveness! haha =D
ok that said, mavis finally admitted that she is a minah. and shib a dumpling. and jon finally admits that he's stupid. hahahaha. =D
meh. i'm tired. but still hafta cram in more history. goodluck everyone!
