FYP High Tea treat from our supervisor on 28th March 2009

So on saturday,my fyp team (except B) and i went for high tea treat by our project supervisor at bugis that area. Hmm...not bad la,the food, just that the restaurant wasn't in bugis junction at all. Anyway,back to the food. When we arrived,our supervisor and his friend and another lab tech (now in NS) was there and eating already,so we just go and join them. There got lots of food la,but you know,it being a high tea,its not filling enough,but since there got self-made laksa and mee siam,also not bad already la,filling enough for us. Ate alot of chwee kueh,it's damn nice! lol

After the meal,willy and the other two guys went off,and we went to watch movie. (J went off ~_o)

Watched confessions of a shopoholic,it's a funny show,though i feel it's a bit weird sorta :S (nothing i would like to watch,and i assumed it's better than mall cop :S) Half way through the show,suddenly the screen blank out and all of us in the cinema was like WTFFFFF why is there such a thing and j03gj40hj504h5j0hjsr9tseh and lots of shit going on...(abit exaggerated,but really,i heard someone say "ooo refund la"...lol) Oh well,it's a new cinema,some more the cinema still got that new smell also,so nvm la,we wait a while then the screen came back on...lol

Then after the show we went home. kthxbai

PSRP Project Ceremony yesterday...

And so it begins...

Ok,yesterday my fyp team and i went to TP to present as well as to set up booth to display for this PSRP (Polytechnic Student Research Programme) project event. Yup,so two teams from each polytechnic (except NYP,i dunno why) was sent there,and my team and another engineering team went. (Our team was nanocrystalline nickel & polyaniline for corrosion protection while theirs was portable audiometer)

Oh yeah,before i go on,i forgot i still owe my project supervisor (Dr. Willy) $6,because he gave me $10 to laminate the labels for our samples for the booth...it costs $4 to laminate two pieces of paper btw.

Wah,yesterday ah,wake up damn early sia,i woke up around 7am,then around 7:40am have to leave home in my white business shirt + black pants + black leather shoes + school provided stuff (blazer,badge,tie,tie pin). Took mrt to bedok mrt station,walk to bedok interchange and took 69 and met the guys at the TP main gate bus stop.

We knew our way around liao la,since the day before yesterday we also went to TP for rehersal as well as to familarize ourselves with the place. The booth was damn small,so we didn't need to bring extra things to display,which was good,because the extra thing is damn heavy (it's a portable computer(not laptop!))

So at near 10am,we went in to the Auditorium Hall #2 and sat down,then wait for everyone to settle down,and started the whole thingy.....zzz

Listened to the Guest of honor speaking abit sianz 1/2 liao,then when the teams started presenting,even more sian,even though one team is limited to only 10 minutes. I sit there stoning until sibei the sian la,keep day dreaming there...lol Then the time came to receive our certificate as well as a token of apprectiation. So we walk up the stage,shake hand with GOH,then walk off,and i and J left for the booth while XX and YR went back to sit. (but the event was over already so everyone went off to the booth,or to the buffet table)

As expected,no one really came to the booths,most of the people seem to go to the buffet table...lol i also want to go,but cannot yet...only one man came and keep asking us questions,he seem to have a lot of knowledge about corrosion or related subjects o.O

So,we finally get to eat!

Food Review,from Chin Zhiyuan,60805.

The baked butter rice not too bad la,but the butter the taste is not really there,so i give it 7/10

Then the mee siam not bad,i give it 8/10!

Didn't like scallop,so never eat

Wah,the black pepper chicken damn damn nice,but very big piece,so very hard to bite,so i give it 9/10 (in fact,so nice until i went for a second round,taking only the baked rice and black pepper chicken ONLY)

The vegetables aren't that bad too,i liked the sauce too.

The drinks there were awfully disappointing though,only got tea and coffee,but by the time we got there,it's all gone so we had to go out and buy canned drinks from the vending machine.

We slack around the area,doing nothing but disturbing one another and taking photos loh (i dunno when the photos will be uploaded,and who will send to us sia...damn wasted,i wanted to see the photos!)

Well,in my opinion,i saw a lot of RP students,those year 2's that came down to watch,how i know is that some of them are wearing the black with green sleeve shirt with RP in front,and some of them are wearing the RP polo tee (i think,got the RP word at the back) lolololololololololololololol.Anyway, we waited around 1 hour then we finally took off out blazer,ties and went to keep out stuff,then we went off,took some photos again,then boarded the bus back to RP to return the blazer,ties,tie pin and badge. We had the bus all to ourselves,with two girls that graduated one year before us (also from materials science diploma) then they took some photos too then we got tired... (the other RP team and RP students took the first bus i think)

Post-event activities:

I think the trip to RP nothing much,so not gonna mention,then after that,we all went home and that was that. One thing i want to mention is that Dr Willy mention to us while we were manning the booth that he was going to bring us to High-tea as a celebration aft of this event,so we have to make ourselves free,but since i'm going to work almost the whole week starting today,so i have to plan properly now...zz but who cares,there's food to be eaten,free some more LOL

...and ends with a fun but tiring day!

~_~

So,the other day i went and uninstall firefox 3.0.6 because i felt that it has too many errors and i can't stand it anymore. The two problems that i faced --> Firefox Not Responding,very often and also Firefox 3.0.6 always auto closes and asks me to send an error report ~_~ I don't want it to be that way,i just want a browser that has no problems.

So,i installed Opera recommended by my online friend. Things seem to be good when i installed Opera 9.6.3,but after a while,errors happened,and those errors are super irritating,even worse than firefox 3.0.6 errors ~_~

Some examples :
-Shockwave script no loading,please restart Opera
-Some tabs cannot scroll while other tabs can scroll
-The menu buttons sometimes cannot click(you know,the menu like file,edit,view,history,help all this la)
-High memory usage,at least higher than any browsers i've ever used
-Dunno why sometimes seems to consume high CPU usage :S
-Scanned for malware,spyware,viruses etc. using Malwarebyes,SUPERAntispyware and BitDefender TWICE today,first try removed couple of viruses and malware,second try detected nothing,but opera still runs as shit as before the scans.
-Didn't like the buttons on Opera,too confusing,and i especially dislike the refresh and stop button that Opera integrated together. (So it's like when you refresh,then only can stop,then when you're not refreshing,then only got refresh button,unlike other browsers where refresh and stop is different buttons)

In the end,i buey tahan liao,cannot use Firefox 3.0.6 (or at least,i don't feel like giving it a try anymore),cannot use Opera (sucks,as mentioned above), not sure about the reliability of Google Chrome, don't want to use IE,so bo bian have to go download Firefox 2.0.0.20. Yeah,firefox again,but it's a version that i feel can be trusted,even though abit less advanced,but i'd rather it less advanced than have problems.

SCREW YOU OPERA!
GO SING SOME OPERA LA,YOU'RE NOT SUITED TO BE A BROWSER!
LOL
