First day of holiday

First day of holiday, there are many things that I can do but I do not know which one to start with.

I started my holiday by taking photo in NIE.
This is the path to the design studio that I always study in. Memories~

I always hope that my journey of life would be as straight as this road but somehow it always stormed along the way.

And, somehow I always got directed by signs. Thank to all the friends who supported me. =)

Reaching design studio soon...... up slope and more up slope.... memories...

I went to find my professional but he is not around, so I wandered around NIE like a ghost. Anyway it is holiday now, so NIE is just similar to a ghost town.

The building of Unity of Diversity. It is a student hut which students hold their meetings.

This is a better view of the building.

I like the weather. It is not sunny nor rainy.
I went to toilet before I returned home.
I am not happy because myy hair is rather messy. =D
Conclusion of the day....
I cannot go on holiday alone, I will be bored to death.

Visit to Science Centre

Two items for the post.
1) Thursday visit to Science Centre
2) Friday last lecture and lunch outing

On Thursday, I went for a visit to Science Centre. Before this visit, I remember that my last visit was when I was in Secondary 2. I am not a science person so I did not enjoy both the recent and the past visits. =X

Friday was the last day of my School. No more school for me again unless I do my Masters or PhD. After the mass lecture, my DT group went out for lunch at Sakura at Jurong West Swimming Complex. I had diarrhea after lunch. I guess my stomach has not recover from the sickness which I had last week. =/

Photo time~

Arrived at Science Centre. "Ren shan ren hai" again. I was having headache again. =/

Sci-News machine but it is not working.

Introduction talk for the Visit to Science Centre. They were awesome presenters. They managed to capture 90% of the crowd. There are two clips below with their preformation. Must see!


A simple aluminium sheet with holes formed a shaped of a head. It is pretty impressive.

This blue structure looked similar to some DNA structure but it is actually just wires with LED. =/

Ten years ago, the robot looked like this. Ten years later, robots look like Wall-E and Eva.

I meet up with my Poly friends in Pasir Ris and I feel that this park is quite a romentic place for couple. ^^

During the mass lecture, I have nothing better to do, so I took photo.


Since this is the last lecture, many people gathered outside of the LT to chit chat and take photo.

Lunch outing at Sakura with DT group. This is only half of the DT group.
Video time~

Focus on the people who are carrying the light bulb on the left of the screen.

Conclusion of the day....

Life is short, play hard! =D

Visits to the east

There were two events for the day. First, visit at ITE East and second, durain party.

I attended a school visit at ITE East and I had an eye opening. It is a beautiful place just similar to RP or SMU. I was quite surprised that most of the facilities are at high end technology.

After the visit, I went for a durian party with my NIE friends. I am not a durian fan and I have not eat durian since 15 years old. Due to the gathering, I have to try to eat durian and I still do not like it.

It was pretty noisy gathering at Ari's house with her 4 children. Her children were full of energy and they kept playing game. 7 of us ate a total of about 11 + 1 + 4 durians. We could not finish all and we have to pack 2 durians into two containers. After eating the king of fruits, we proceeded to have our queen of fruits, mangosteen.

I have eaten the king and queen of fruits in the same day and both fruits are that fruits that I have not eat for at least 10 years. I could not remember when was that last time that I ate mangosteen.

Photo time~

After registration, we rolled out as a group heading towards the education tour.

Presentation of using of Sun technology.


Next presentation of physical education study by the students.


The guy is the main trainer and teacher of the course.

After walking for a while, I realised that Andrew's shirt has this amazing picture. Who took this photography? I did it. =)

The lift has been working very hard for the day. There were about 700 people and each time the lift could take about 15 people. Imagine how many times the lift has to go up and down to fetch 700 people?

This is the center of ITE east. It is beautiful right?

I always think that everything has a purpose. I wonder what is the purpose of the structure on top of the building?

Andrew, Vincent and I were discussing the function of the ball that is inside the tube. So guess what is the function?
The function is to allow the user to see whether there is water flowing in the tube.

Andrew looked at the fingers of Anwar. Anwar was pointing at the ring that Andrew is supposed to have for his wedding. Andrew is getting married soon. So for the whole morning, we had been teasing him about saying the wrong wedding vote.
Question: "Are you willing to take your ........ as wife?"
His answer: "I do!"

or "I don't know!"
or "Can you repeat your question again?"

What is inside the container?
Me: Sand
Mok: Sugar
Vincent: stone
Correct answer: Polymer. =/

From Ari's house, nice scenery can be captured! She can see free fireworks every year. She is full of happiness!

Two bullies trying to make Ari's baby cry! Wahahaha

All slacking at Ari's place becuase the air-con is just too nice!

We walked to Gelyang and we noticed that this coffee shop is wasting money! The shop is using water to cool down the surrounding temperature by running water without a generating system.

Durain Durian 3 for S$20.00

Beautiful flesh of the durian!

This is called the mountain cat durain. 1 kg for S$18. See the star shape? That is the sign of a mountain cat durain.



Durian Durian!

Kok Leong was showing off his skills in opening durian.

This 2 kids are Ari's children. And Uncle Amon is the middle saying eat, eat, eat!


Queen of fruits, mangosteen! Thank Jeffery for cutting it for us.

Jeffery in action~

Ari's girl girl =) She is so happy to get a queen of fruits in her hands.

5 petals, 5 flesh. If you can find 8 petals, it means you have found a rare types of fruits.

Beautiful arrangement. Nature is so wonderful and amazing.


Naughty girl disturbing Uncle Amon when he was sleeping.

I guessed he was very tired. He kept falling asleep.
Conclusion of the day.....
Outing with friends are the best memories in life, becuase you will get to learn more things from them! =)
