Bread Vending Machine

Wow...even Gardenia bread also come in vending machine liao..that's cool. This picture was taken under my flat communal space. I think the vending machine serve a good idea for those who has forgotten to buy bread when they are on the way home or come home very late. But i do hope they will change the bread everyday to ensure it is fresh.

Exams is coming, this saturday got one and the next will be on 8th of May. Only two papers and both are quite far apart. =)

End of my school days.

Today is our last lesson of the semester and is also our last lesson in NUS, 4years of studies finally come to an end, now just wait for the exams to come. Now recall back, 4 years of part-time studies was tough and tiring, but at the same time, time also flies very fast, i cannot believe 4 years like that passby liao. I can still remember my 1st lesson was about visualisation of some images. From year 1 to year 3 we almost have every sem 5 modules to clear...siong ah!..ZZZzz

Over the years there are some modules i like and dislike, i really don't like the Introduction in statistic, don't understand what the lecturer was talking about and i got a D grade for that module, shame on me. The second nightmare module for me was the Building Structure, i can hardly figured out the calculations and all the bending and turning moments (very physic), lucky i got my classmate Roslan to help me and i got a C grade, very satisfy lo. I like the Project management module, but i didn't score well for that module, i got a B only. I also enjoy the Singapore Studies module, the two tutorials were very meaningful to me and i am quite happy with my writing, I got a B+ for that module.

Over the years i have met and made good friends with my own part time classmates, Simon, JinJin, Minfen, John, Mavis, James, Roslan and Naz, all these people are very fantastic. Is really nice to work with them, sharing info and of course some complains..haha! There was hardly any friction among us, except a minority which i won't mention here. =) I want to say a big thank you to you guys for all these years of our hardship pursuing our dream and the degree...its really nice to work and do projects with you guys.

A degree can have alot of meaning to everyone, some see it as an extra education which you won't learn in your work. Some see it as a stepping stone for better career prospect. Some just want to feel secure with a certificate for a rainy day or want to change line.

Nevertheless, whichever is your reason, I wish everybody all the best for the coming exams and have a great career ahead. =)

Cheers!!!

Happy Birthday Mag!

Happy Birthday to you..Magdalene! =)

It's the 29th of march liao...so fast...have been quite busy lately with my assignment. It's a final push to my final semester, in less than a month time will be my examination, this time only left two papers to take. We managed to get our IP project done on time, however, during presentation, we are being criticised by one of the lecturer that we didn't put in enough effort in this project. Haiz...what to expect from us?..We are part-timer mah! Anyway is over liao. I guess i am getting my dissertation final draft back from my supervisor next week, hope not many amendment to do because it is only 3 weeks away from the final submission.

Here are some soccer update. Glad to know that Manchester United will drawn against FC Porto in the 1/4 final of Champions league, it is an easy draw as compare to other teams who have to face tougher opponent. But their league form is not doing well lately, losing two matches in a row and let in six goals, now they only lead 2nd place liverpool by a point, however, Man U still have a game in hand. Hope they quickly get back to form and start winning matches again.

Integrated Project

I am enjoying my semester-break this week and this will be the last semester break of my NUS part-time course. Two weeks ago i have just submitted my final draft dissertation, after that submission i am quite relax and mainly focusing on my Measurement III tutorials. However, vocation is over soon, this coming week will be a stressful week for us, all the Building students will be put to test on what they have learnt throughout the 4 years course by applying the knowledge through an assignment call the Integrated Project. It is a 5 days assignment the question will post to us in IVLE on monday morning and by friday afternoon we need to submit the report. Time is very tight and constraint for us i really hope everything can go smoothly.

Man U set new English football record for clean sheets

My favourite Man U player Edwin Van Der Sar has created a new record in English Football last saturday. The goalkeeper had gone 12 matches without concealed a single goal, of course, the keeper cannot claim all the credits, the defenders and the rest of the team members also made important efforts to help to preserve this unbeaten record. The last goal concealed was against Arsenal in 8th Nov 2008 which Man U lost 2-1 to Arsenal. After that the Man U goalkeeper had not went to pick a ball out from his goal net. The 12 matches including tough opponents such as Chelsea, Aston Villa, Everton and Tottenham Hotspurs.

With 15matches left, hope there are more clean sheets to comeby and remain unbeaten till the end of the season. =)

Happy Lunar New Year!

Happy Lunar New Year!!!

May the year of the OX brings you more joys and happiness!!! =)

2days ago i went to Bugis Junction to do my last min shopping and i managed to capture some nice photos of the Illuma Urban Entertainment Centre, a new shopping mall just next to Bugis. The facade of the building is very interesting. From my understanding from Woha Architect website, the building incorporates an interactive façade, where visitors can use mobile phone technology to send messages, images and graphics onto the building, an electronic version of the concrete and glass pixels of the Duxton Plains façade, and i able to see flower graphics and chinese new year wishes in mandrain characters. Wow...amazing!!!

Cool Bus

Recently i board a bus (no 80) and the interior design of the bus caught me by surprise, it is like a build-in bar inside the bus and the arrangement of the seats is totally different from a normal bus. Amazing!!!

I am not sure whether you have seen this before, but it is something new to me, however, i think the design has taken away more seating capacity and some might even find it difficult to stand beside the seat with the passengers, hence, I believe this is the only bus with such a design.

Maybe SBS can try one with wooden bench just like those buses in the 50s and 60s, so that this can let the new generation to try out how it feel to sit on the bus without cushion...haha!
