Wednesday 26 Oct is the first time the security records of the library registered my existence there. This shows how 'good' a student I am! It took me 11 weeks to go to the library and the thing I did there was not to study but simply just to get access to a computer so that I can register for my project.

Wednesday 26 Oct is the first time I ever did a project that consist of simply just playing a game. The game is created by Littlefield Technologies and it involves the management of a factory via controlling several parameters such as no of machines, inventory control etc. Essentially it's still very operations-oriented, so plenty of mathematics is required -> which I am lousy at! SOBz. Anyway the good thing is that there is a function which plot graphs for you, so rather than going through every calculation, you can simply just look at the graphs to make a decision. However that will compromise the report... arghz. By the way, I still prefer playing Capitalism Plus. It's a total business simulation from agriculture to manufacturing to retail to capital market access.

Saturday 22 Oct is the first time I ever went to Zion Food Centre. In fact I went over to Tiong Bahru to jog with my buddy, Leslie and after the jog, as promised, he brought me there to eat dinner. The jog was more like a house viewing session for me, as we jogged through the private estate where all the houses were huge bungalows, all contemporary designs and were all so stylish! Haha.

Since we are at the food centre topic, let me introduce you some of the good food there.

Char Kway Teow (the stall at the far end, near the curry rice)
This one is famous, need no more introduction. See the queue, join the queue. Leslie mentioned that the boss is quite proud and if you irritate him he may decide not to sell you his char kway teow. Rating: 4 stars out of 5

E-Curry Mixed Rice (look out for a giant E)
The food is very expensive compared to any mixed vegetable stall, but the curry is pretty good.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5

Chengteng (ask and you will know)
Another famous stall but I didn't get to try the chengteng.

Fried Carrot Cake (look out for the stall chef who is hearing impaired)
The white carrot cake was given a negative rating by my parents, but for those who like it real hot, man, this one is for you.

Western Food
I had the fish and chip on Saturday and felt it was pretty good.

That's all I have for you! Hope you can add on to the food guide there ba.

Nothing much to add about my life except that I am still feeling strangled by projects that seem to be piling up, the rain these days are hampering my exercise efforts (looks like I may be forced to go to the gym..) and life is getting more and more busy. When will the holidays come!?

Another 4 weeks to the end of school. Yeah!! Okie. Reminder to all:

a. Batam trip is still on in Dec (13th - 15th). I'm going to book soon, please quickly revert if you have a partner coming with you.
b. KTV for Deepavali is fine with me as long as I get to play my football at NP in the evening. Hopefully we can have the early morning?
c. I will be going over to Malaysia on 3rd Dec Sat afternoon and returning on 4th Dec Sun afternoon. Anyone wants to go with me? It will be a shopping trip + haircut + makan..

Woo. Wish all the best for all my friends who are taking exams, O levels and university! Work hard for this last segment, ok? Very fast will breeze through........zoom!

Best Wishes
