The only sakae in Singapore that has buffet on Sundays is at ICON Village, and for a good reason, we were the only ones at that branch (or rather, at that mall!) throughout the entire buffet! It was dead empty... but it has its advantages though, the staff were warm and friendly and the manager even gave us both the strawberry smiles and mochi!

Studio Project

Okay, for those of your who did not read my previous post properly...
"Its time to enjoy my holiday (for 2 n a half whole days!)"

with special emphasis on the bold words. All my exams and assignments ended 8/8/08, BUT between 11/8/08 and 27/8/08, I would be dammed busy with my studio project (which is the last 3 weeks of each semester spent solely on ONE BIG project which counts for 4 credits or one full module)! Which explains the 3 week drought of posts...

Even though the 3 weeks were suppose to be 100% pure hard work and no play, being with RJJEX, better known as Team Imbah, it was fun and believe it or not, even though there were days we had to work for almost 40 hours without sleep, it was enjoyable and very satisfying. Imagine an 'exam' you WANT to take. =]

So anyway, heres some pictures we took over the 3 weeks...

08/08/08 - FINALLY!! ITS OVER!

YES! If you are reading this, then I am officially FREE! Thats right! ALL my tests, exams, (mountains of) projects and endless assignments - ALL OVER! You have no idea how it feels to finally have nothing to worry about. No more DEADlines! No more pressure! That oh so heavy load being lifted off your shoulders!

Well, the fact that this important day of freedom happens to coincide with the Olympics or with National Days' eve is of little concern to me. Somehow, being in poly, I fail to feel to 'National-Day-ism' that I used to during this period over the last 10 years of my life. In fact, the only reminder I got that this was national day's eve was the lack of construction noise and vibration that would normally wake me up from slumber. Instead, greeted me, the resounding high pitched children voices from Ai Tong School, saying (more like shouting with gusto) "They had no rights, they had no say and they long to be free one day!" A slew of National Day songs followed which instantly reminding me of my primary school days...

Anyway, I thought its about time I showed the world some of my final assignments for this semester.

http://rey.chire.org/newgallery.zip
I had originally intended to upload this straight to the server, put given that the flash file takes ages to load over the net, I think it'd be best that you guys download it and run from your computer instead. (Make sure you have a pretty fast computer!) Open index.html. Its my gallery in flash.

Moving on. Here are some of the pictures from my handphone camera over that past month or so...
