National Education

Q: Ever wondered what the S.R. in our President's name stand for?
A: "Singapore Resident".

I'm surprised nobody ever made that up and put it to print before I made it up, but here's another thought provoking issue that someone told me about some time ago.

U've got your ID Card no. that starts with an S and ends with a letter right? Well, what does the 'S' mean then? And what's the rationale for the letter behind? It seems pretty elementary that the govt. would choose 'S' since it's Singawhatever, but contrary to popular believe, there's actually a math behind it. and here to plagarise the solution:

The Sg IC number consists of SEVEN (7) digits and a letter appended behind. This letter is calculated from the first SEVEN (7) digits using the MODULUS ELEVEN (11) method. This system is the most commonly used since it provides a high degree of security.

The steps involved in the computation are as follows:

Multiply each digit in the NRIC number by its weight.
Add together the above products.
Divide the resulting sum by ELEVEN (11).
Subtract the remainder from ELEVEN (11) to give the check digit.
In Singapore, the weight for the NRIC number is shown in the following table:

e.g. S 2 7 6 5 4 3 2 ?
S _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ?

The conversion (look-up) table to convert the check digit into the corresponding alphabet is shown below:

Check Digit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Alphabet A B C D E F G H I Z J

The last letter in the UIN/FIN is a check digit; serving as a means to ensure that the 7 numerals are not entered into a computer system in the wrong order. An algorithm is used to derive the check digit from the century prefix and the 7 numerals in the UIN or FIN. The algorithms and sample computer programs can now be obtained by filling up the electronic request form provided.

Come 21st century, the prefix of the Unique Identification Number (UIN) and the Foreigner Identification Number (FIN) will be changed from "S" to "T" and "F" to "G" respectively.

Why prefix "S" and "T" for UIN?
The current prefix for UIN is "T". It is the 20th letter in the alphabet which denotes UIN issued in this century (i.e. 2000 - 2099), while "S" is used for the last century.

What happen if we provide a UIN or FIN without the century prefix?
The century prefix is important as it makes the UIN or FIN unique. For example, the first child registered in the year of 2000 will bear a UIN "T0000001/E which differs from the first number "S0000001/I" first issued in the year 1966.

Airport

I love blogging @ the airport. Projected stopovers include:

7-12 June : Czech competition
12 onwards: Prague - Vienna - Salzburg - Berchtesgaden - Salzburg - Venice - Milan - Ferrara - Bologna - Pisa - Rome.

I hope the european transport system don't fail me. Even before leaving, the italians are already giving me a very bad impression, that they're fat (well all europeans are fat), lazy and rude.

Mama mia!

And that's the only thing i know how to say. They better know english..

Sightings on the SMRT

A babe. A kid. 2 hands. 2 buns. Touche.

So this babe was standing and talkin to her bunch of friends when this Indian little girl started doing the indian pole dance and swinging about doing her own thing, when suddenly, she stopped and calmly crept up behind the babe and palmed her cheeks.

I don't mean the girl touched her face, yes - the babe got groped by the kid, and all she did was turn around and smile! Now i wonder when was the last time i felt some buns and got a smile in return. Probably never.

It's always good to be young again; kids get away with the most heinous crimes sometimes.

What Art Form Are You?

You are Drama. You are extroverted and like to show off, but can be very subtle and intelligent when you want. As an expert at story-telling, you love attention and have developed the skill of keeping it. You get along well with Literature and Film.

What Romance Movie Best Represents Your Love Life?

Everyone remembers the 'faked-orgasm-in-a-deli' sequence from your kind of movie When Harry Met Sally. It seems that you're falling for a buddy or have already fallen for them. Uh-oh. You're probably caught between the possibility of having a great relationship and wrecking the one you have now. You know what they say, it's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do.
