Merdeka!

Well, Singapore separated from Malaysia in 1965. I've got separated in 2006. No more sharing of groceries. Everyone shall have an individual compartment in the fridge, as well as in the cupboard. Will I grow to be as 'prosperous' as Singapore?

"There was a time, when people said that I~i~i won't make it, i think i'll make it"

1st dinner after the separation, i had...
Spaghetti in Carbonara sauce saute with garlic, fresh mushroom and mixed vegetables, accompanied by 2 pieces of succulent chicken thigh and wing. The meal ended concluded with a sweet, crunchy, juicy apple. Yum yum...

Haha... whole load of crap... but it was simply 'squisito'. REALLY!!!

Off to continue with my revision... whole lot of them. ciao

Tire, Tiring, Tired

Well... i'm tired... slept in 3.30 am this morning and woke up at 8 ... gave up on fixing problems on the PCB. I can't fixed them! staring at the screen for 6 hours trying to figure out what's wrong. missed the crucial 2nd batch of PCB fabrication. damn! have to wait 2 weeks later for the 3rd batch. Damn!

Think i'm speaking more like an aussie nowadays. Usually like in Singapore, when someone say thank you, i'll say welcome or no problem. but here, i'm saying no worries, just like the aussies... oh no...

Preparation for mid-sem,has begun... think if i am hardworking enough, i'll be able to make it!

Single player mode

I think i'm a loner. I prefer doing things alone, going out alone. Am i such a loner or is that i've yet to meet anyone that has the same projectile as me? Its troublesome going out in large groups! everyone wants different directions. Wait here wait there, might as well wait until Christmas?

Today is saturday :-). Its 'riverfestival' or what the locals call 'riverfire'. An annual event aims to create awareness of the river, providing entertainment and events for the general public. Well, its fondly called 'riverfire' cos there's fireworks (again) cheorographed together with exlusive Riverfire soudtrack played over the local radio station.

The fireworks kicked and ended off with the crowd favourite - 2 RAAF F-111 strike jet sweeping low over the city, reaching speed of up to 800kph before performing the 'dump and burn' display.

Was in the city actually around 3 to buy some stuff for my project. The fireworks starts at 7pm sharp. thought i could get a good view of the fireworks. instead, had to wait for some friends. missed the airshow that was going on around 5. after that, they went for dinner! i had mine around 4. lunch + dinner to be exact. well... dinner lasted till 6.30... and the fireworks start at 7! where got good view?

The place surrounding South Bank, where the good spots are, is completely FULL! and i mean FULL!! was rather pissed off... was sitting there for hours doing nothing, waiting for this, waiting for that... knn...

When the fighter jets flew passed, i was anxiously waiting for the fireworks to 'fly' high up into the sky, with my digicam in hand, ready to snap. but to my dismay, it started off with some low ones from boats on the river. Argh!!! CAN"T SEE!!! where? where? wanted to say "see my a**"

The fireworks lasted for a good 1/2 hour. Was walking around the area (alone), trying to find a good place to take photos... managed to take some though, but missed most of it :-[

Well, i'll make sure i'll get a good view next year! and i mean I.

Wah! Sibei Suay

!#$#@^ Kena caught in the rain again! The day started off brightly! Sun was burning with vengence, but it finally lost its battle when the rain started taking over at around 4 and starting pouring when i'm leaving school for home at around 8pm. Whats with the weather?

Pretty delighted with myself today. Know what's happening in tutorial, and there's no more lecture for Maths2010 (Calculas). Hurray! its a half semester subject, so no more waking up early in the morning!

Got a little more improvement for my team project today. The infrared is working and whats left is the PCB (Printed Circuit Design), casing and getting the IR to transmit at least a meter.

Week 6 has finally ended smoothly to my delight, looks like there's sunshine after a thunderstorm, or is it only the eye of the storm? May the force be with me.
