Revision Week

Finally, trimester 2 is coming to an end soon. Everyone is busy now, either on their assignments, presentations or preparing for the final examination next week. Short trimester is always very hectic due to its short duration. It is more of like a crash course. Even though I am only taking 2 course subjects and a Final Year Project this trimester, time seems to be insufficient for me.

The weeks after my birthday are all about assignments, projects and tests. I got to eat many birthday cakes this year, special thanks to Jin, Daniel and Kevin once more. Thanks to Huwi Yin for her 2 in 1 cards. Thanks to Christoph for his parcel from Germany with plenty of goodies inside. Thanks to my Japanese teacher for her “onigiri” and 2006 organizer. Thanks to Travis kor kor for visiting me.

Despite my tight schedule, I managed to squeeze some free time in between to watch “Narnia” at Goldren Screen Cinema (GSC), Mahkota Parade. I have not being to any cinemas for more than 6 months already. The cinema had done some renovation and it looks much better now. I was a bit disappointed with the movie, but overall it is okay. I like the character design very much despite some of the unrealistic details of the storyline.

On Christmas Eve, I departed to Singapore for a one day one night trip. It is rather tiring trip, definitely not going for such a crash trip in the future, especially with a few sleepless nights before the trip. I was falling asleep or dozing off whenever I have the time to do so. We visited Singapore Zoo at first. There are many foreign animals in the zoo and it is really well maintained. There are a number of performances by the animals. However, most of them are rather boring. Perhaps, tourists from non-tropical countries might find them interesting. The sea lion show is my favorite. It is advisable not to go for the elephant show. There are 2 polar bears in the zoo as well. I was sympathizing to those bears as they seem so tired or unhappy to be kept in such a small and hot cage. Then, we headed to Seoul Garden for a buffet lunch at 12 SGD. Even though it is a Korean style buffet, it is different from the one that I have in Korea. Suddenly, I missed the food there, which is something very unusual. Next, we headed to Sentosa Island. It is not as nice as I think it is. We got to take a ride for free and enjoyed the musical fountain that starts at 7.40pm. The whole place was packed even before 7pm. It was a long wait for the 30 minutes show. By the time we reached Orchard Road, it was already 9.30pm. No shopping in Singapore this time as most of the shops was already closed. We took our dinner at the food shop at Singapura Plaza. The countdown at Orchard Road is always very crazy. People there will be “attacking” us with sprayers, even though we don’t know them. But, beware of thieves or guys who are planning to take advantage over girls in the crowd. It was very tiring and the bus arrived 1 hour late from the time scheduled to depart. We were very tired and sticky due to the spray. We reached Malacca at 7+am. I went to sleep immediately after taking a bath. Finally, I get to have a nice sleep after a long time.

Now and then, I will recall my memories when I was in Korea. It is one of the nicest moments. It’s so relaxing and enjoyable, despite that I need to deal with some projects given by my professor. Too bad I didn’t get to experience White Christmas in Korea.
