17/04 BBQ at Westbay Condo

I have been cordially invited by Xin Hui for a BBQ at her residence, Westbay Condominium. Hehe in fact all my fellow peers working in the Electric Drives and Machine Lab have been invited over too. I guessed it's a nice gesture of Xin Hui to organize this BBQ so as to bring everyone together for the last time before we graduate from this University. Don't worry Xin Hui, we will give you our strongest mental support and encouragement in course of your PhD candidature.

Anyway met up with Weixian outside LT7A at 4.15pm before making our way to "Shop n Save" at Ginza plaza to buy some charcoal over. We are pretty surprised to bump into Haihua in the supermarket. She was on an errand to get extra charcoal, brush for butter and some fresh limes. I guessed she was pretty relieved to have met us, 2 strong guys to help her mule the stuff over XD We are pretty lucky to have escape through the torrential rain unscathed which started moments we had reached. Went up straight to Xinhui's apartment and met her flatmates. The guy, her flatmate, actually owned an exotic sealife aquarium with lotsa nice corals, crabs, prawns and sea anemone!! Must be an expensive hobby to upkeep maintaining the PH of the water, temperature and stuff. Nonetheless it was an aweful impressive sight to be the centre of attraction in the living room. Heard from Haihua that Carol's birthday would be coming up soon and she handed us a card to write our birthday wishes on it. Xinhui specially made a greentea cum red bean cake for her birthday in the kitchen....hmmmm smells yummy. Before I could feast my eyes on the end product, I was shown the way back to the living room...I guess this was part of the surprise for Carol XD

When the rain stopped drizzling , the majority of us went downstairs (Terrence, Weixian, Sharon, Carol, Xinhui her friends and myself) to set up the place and the fire. Weixian was in charge of setting up the fire and he really looks professional in doing it~I'm serious!! See him in a relaxed pose with Sharon smiling in the background XD
















Yummy food below~~ ^0^v Grilled prawns, lamb steaks, satay and a mysterious dish wrapped up in the aluminium foil thingy. Any guesses? Hehe its stringray!! Marinated with chilli, white pepper, beer and onions, prepared by Carol XD It tastes great too! Just like the ones you buy outside from the coffee shop.










Surprise of the day!! Carol's birthday cake!! Wow doesn't it look lovely?? Xinhui can consider open a bakery shop rather than soldering PCBs in the lab yeah? XD The greentea flavored cake with red bean toppings really taste delicious~awww too bad you guys reading can't have a bite hehee.
*Happy Birthday to Carol*
















Wonder when would be the next time to have such BBQ together...Time really flies 4 years of undergraduate life has just flashed through my eyes. Thanks for this wonderful time, I miss you guys especially Jonathan, Weixian, Carol and Terrence...miss all the gossiping of Dr Ashwin, A/P Panda and even Chandra in the labs, the whining about our hardware components, the number of overnights spent in the lab. Miss you guys~Take care!!

FYP officially DONE!!

Today marks an important day in my diary. I have finally completed my final year project worth 12 credits!! Yay, thankfully everything went smoothly for me in the presentation, and I am hoping to get a good grade from it after positive feedback from my examiner =) Now hoping that my supervisor would give me a good grade too ^^

Hehehe my heart is like racing up and down, can't contain the excitement of completing this arduous 4 year journey in NUS. Although I still have 2 more exams to go before I graduate, the feeling of completing the FYP is simply too immense~!! I felt as though I have already graduated. Well good luck to all my friends who will be having their presentations next week hope everything will go on smoothly for them ^^

Really looking foward to the summer holidays after working so hard for this semester. Somehow need a break before I got enlisted into the Police Academy. Who knows what life would be in there but we shall see as the time goes by. Meanwhile celebrations XD Hopefully can spend a good time with Trini this summer really looking foward to her coming and hope she can make it through her exams smoothly too. Sweetheart I understand that you are facing alot of hardship during this immense period but hope you can pull it through with only 3 more weeks left. Hunnie will give you all my luck and support for you =)

Hope to have a nice chat with you this weekend really miss you alot =) Huggs ^^

New Hair Cut

Today marks the day of my new hair cut. Went with Wai yeung to a hairdresser shop near to his house. My new hair cut looks not bad at least giving me a fresher look XD The lady actually said my hair was abit thick so she made it look less dense and yea tada~that's the story of my new hair cut.

1 APR
Received $600 as the Growth Dividends from the Singapore Progress Package. Hope can use this sum of money for a short weekend getaway to hongkong with Trini. Hope we can spend a nice summer time together =)

30 APR
Went out with Jaron, Wai yeung, Jianwen and Tianfa to Bugis Mos Burger for dinner. Ordered ice peach tea and ebi rice burger as usual. Thereafter Zhangjun came and join us after dinner and we went to this anime figurine shop. Jianwen wanted to buy his gundam robot but was currently out of stock. The shoplady says the goods will be shipped in earliest by early May and they will be having a 10% discount then. Although Jianwen seemed indifferent, it was not hard to tell he was quite disappointed. Anyway it doesn't seem so bad as it is right? Just 6 more weeks plus a 10% discount tag, seem as a worthwhile package to me. But then again, I am not an anime lover.

After which went over to Jaron's place to play some card games, first is german bridge followed by Settler's which we introduced Wai yeung into the gameplay. Jianwen had to leave at 11 plus to go home to play DOTA with his friends. He claimed that he would return like 2am in the morning which he didn't and so we went off for supper after finishing settler's and hearts. Took a cab home at 3am showered and slept. What a day to celebrate submission of thesis and technical report. I guess everyone of us could finally have a short peace of mind ahead of CA4 which is coming really soon... Well let's see as the time goes; I still have a week left =)
