Had my usual lessons on a normal Wednesday. Went for 2 briefings about ITP(Industrial Attachment). One for overseas attachment, one for local attachment.

For the overseas attachment, we were brief on 2 universities, University Of Melbourne(Australia) and Middlesex University(UK). Well, for overseas attachment it is going to be very expensive. For Middlesex University, the school fees for a year cost 8000 pounds, which is around 24K Sin dollars, the good thing about it is that we only need 1 year to get our degree, whereas for the University Of Melbourne, even though it is cheaper, it will take us 2 years to get a degree.

Didn’t go for school yesterday as I went to help out my mom at the Expo. Thought last day the food expo will not be that crowded, but it is almost the same as Sunday. And surprising the sales of the last day beat all the previous days. Woot. Luckily my brother and I went down to help, else I think really short of man-power in the afternoon.

Had my usual GAME practical lesson today, started work on my pacman maze. Hope it will not be that difficult. I really very afraid of GAME assignment. It is quite tough compared to JSPG. Total left 3 assignments, GAME, JSPG and FYP. Wonder can I finish all these assignments on time. Sighz.

Woke up at 7.15am today. Went for hiking at Bukit Timah Hill with Serene, Suqin and Lay Hiang. Jacky and Laily cannot make it because they want to sleep. Talking about sisters and brothers. LOL

We took a shorter path to the summit because of time constraint. I think most of the path are man-made. Saw many interesting insects on our way up especially the huge ant carrying an ant egg I presumed. Half-way through saw a stream of following water. Although it is man-made, it is very nice the water is clear and I tasted it a little. No funny taste. =D

Been very very busy for the past 2 days at the expo and that explains why I didn’t update this blog.

First off some sad news, there is an explosion at one of my house downstairs coffeeshop, block 112. A gas tank exploded at the western food stall. 1 person was injured, not sure whether is the uncle looking after the stall or my friend looking after the stall. Whoever he is, I wish him a speedy recovery. That explains why when I came home on Friday, I saw fire engines and police car. The first thought that came to my mind is people commit suicide. After asking my dad’s friend, then I know what happens.

Woke up at quite late today, 2pm. LOL. Want to correct some mistakes that I have made in the last post. Is is Singapore Food Expo and NOT Singapore Food Festival. It will be on from 18th September 200) to Monday(22nd September 2003) and NOT till Sunday.

Back to the topic. Went to help my mom at 4.30pm. Helped to arrange the goods, stock goods and to collect money. Business was not too bad considered it is a weekday and the first day of the food expo. This year, they open the whole hall 5, last year was only 1/2 if I am not wrong. Thus, it is very spacious and the lanes are very wide. No more squeezing and extreme slow walking.

Been busy for the pass few days because of ELIT. Handed in our ELIT assignment today. We also had our ELIT presentation today. It was a rather a short one and not that serious as FYP. Finally 1 module assignment down and 2 more to go excluding FYP

After the presentation, came back home and changed before going to school again for my GAME practical class.

Overslept today, first time for the past 10 weeks of school. Maybe was too tired. But nevertheless, I am only late 5 minutes for the FYP meeting, but still earlier than the lecturer. LOL

Gave Lian her birthday present today, I bought her a SIGG water bottle. Hope she like it as I don’t know what to buy.

Yesterday was Johnson 19th Birthday, we had dinner at Fish & Co at Glass House(just beside Park Mall). Ate the seafood platter for one. Was filling for me. Yummy. Went to Esplanade later for a walk, there is a performance at the amphitheater. They sang some old songs. The guys voice is very good.

Went further down Esplanade as there is some-sort like a “beach” there. Saw some funny text written on the sand. Sat down at the rocky rocks and had some chat. We did tried to play sparklers at Esplanade, but was warned by the patrolling policeman saying that no fireworks is allowed.

Left school immediately after JSPG, because I got a lunch appointment with my parents. They are celebrating their 21st Chinese Wedding Anniversary. The English one will be on 2nd October 2003.

Had lunch at Shima Restaurant in Goodwood Park Hotel. It is a Japanese restaurant and offer teppanyaki, shabu-shabu and yakiniku buffet. It is one of the best out there. We ate the yakiniku buffet, one person is around $27. Next time shall try the teppanyaki buffet as it looks quite interesting. The food there is good but somehow the standard drop a little and the service is very slow compared to last year.
