Coding CBT

As usual, Thursday is a no school day for me unless there is something very important or urgent to meet up, then I will go back to school.

Had lunch with Elaine at Raffles City’s foodcourt before going to her house to get her MYSQL up and running. Ran into some problems, but eventually it is solved. Her 512kb Pacific Internet broadband is very unstable at times, can disconnect every minute.

Quite an interesting day, almost all my classmates are talking about that Blaster Worm. All SP computers are patched already. Wonder did they get infected first then patch, or they have already patch it on the day Microsoft released the security announcement.

At least SP lab technicians are more pro then NTU and NUS ones as those computers in NTU and NUS are infected with that worm.

FTT Evaluation Passed

Went to Ikea for lunch with Elaine. Ate the roast beef and shared a plate of meatballs. Just love Ikea food, especially the meatball.

Went to BBDC after that and took about 2 hours of FTT practice before attempting the FTT Evaluation. To my surprise, I passed my FTT Evaluation on my first attempt and I scored full marks, 80/80. I think so far for this semester, this is my luckiest moment. Shall be booking the actual FTT later on.

Durians

Our FYP is behind schedule for a few days or rather a week. Still feeling no pressure yet, and that is bad. So have to force myself to do it.

Actually suppose to go take my FTT practice at BBDC today, but somehow never go and end up going home. Dad today off, bought durian. Long time since I ate durian. Ate a few seeds only, heaty better not eat too much. Took a nap after that. Don’t know why these days I like to take in the nap in the afternoon. Don’t know is a habit or I am tired.

Nasi Padang

Slept till in the afternoon for the first time after a few months. Went for lunch at somewhere opposite Concourse building. Don’t really know the place or the restaurant name. Is my first time there. The Malay Nasi Padang there is very nice. Especially the chilli. The ice milo there is super thick and on top of it they sprinkle some milo power to make it look nicer. Yummy.

Came home, took a nap. Don’t know why nowadays I am so tired and can sleep so easily.

Happy 38th Birthday Singapore !!!

Today marks the 38th birthday of Singapore since it gained its independence in 1965.

My driving instructor called me in the morning to ask me about my school schedule. He told me to cancel away my 21st August 2003 lesson because it will not make much a difference. So will be starting my practical lessons officially in October. We will need about 25 lessons within 3 months. Doubt I can pass before Christmas. There goes my wish.

Twilight Kitchen

Was very tried today, must be lack of sleep. After school came straight home took a nap till 5pm. Met my poly friends at Tiong Bahru at 6pm for dinner. Long time didn’t step into Tiong Bahru Plaza. Lots of things have change. New shops, shops relocation, new path-way at level 3, no need to walk 1/2 a round to take the escalator of the opposite direction and some path is block.

After dinner went to Touch Community Theatre at Bukit Merah to watch Twilight Kitchen. Is free for everyone, the show is local production on a very low budget. Surprising the show is excellent. Very meaningful show and I think is better than Home Run. Thumbs up for this show.
