An Ichiban Day

A short post to update on a simple yet enjoyable treat. We are superfull that day but on hand we had a voucher that was expiring soon so we decided just to order some light meals and ended with a delicious dessert.


While having dessert, I dropped this particular red bean and hey! It seemed that it will make a good picture.

Hence so presenting:

The forgotten red bean

Thanks dear for your accompany. Any food will taste just as nice with you around.

Kite Flying @ Barrage

First of all! ahh.. sorry for the late update. This event was back dated on 20th June but it was not until today when I had a chance to rest at home due to stomach upset that I can have the time to blog about this memorable event.

It was my first time flying a kite. Yes, my first time at the age of 25 yrs old! haha. It was not a very sucessful first attempt at first. Our Sparrow suffered from broken wing and it was really after a hard repair that we could get it to fly up to the sky for a short while before it is gone forever buried under the famous river of Singapore.

#1: Our Proud Sparrow 1

#2: Our Proud Sparrow 2


If you can see from the above 2 picture.. the rear wing was broken. It then became a burden for the kite to fly up and to maintain stability up in the sky. Honestly, while I was repairing it, I seriously doubt that it would be able to fly up among with the rest. But this kite really proved itself well. Not only, it was able to fly up with the rest despite having physical disability, but also able to withstand the pressure from its surrounding and 'bullies' up in the sky.

#3: The lady behind the sucessful kite.. hehe

#4: Another picture of the lady with the satisfaction look :)

seriously, I learnt alot from our kite that day.. our proud sparrow.

Now I shall present the team players for that day!

#5: Jiaru and her carbocation

#6: Alvin and his partner

#7: Me and my Partner

#8: Jin Rong and Seng Wei

#9: Zhining and Qiong Xia

#10: Me and Sengwei! Omg.. I look so white in this picture! seriously I need some sun-tanning.

#11: Is really a nice scene to see all the kite flying together up in the sky

Actually not only our sparrow faces problem. The goldfish kite named "playful little koi" faced lots of obstacles too. But 团结就是力量。With a combination of resources and skill.. The Kite is up the sky too!

#12: This time presenting the lady behind the playful little koi.. haha

#13: The skillful kite flyer

#14: Skilful Kite Flyer working with the owner!

#15: I was so happy for them that I keep laughing and couldn't concentrate in taking photograph

credits to sengwei for taking this picture. nice candid photo :)

The sky at barrage that day was wonderful. It make a very nice background for photos.

#16: The Rays

#17: The Barrage @ Sunset

Too bad both me and qx had to leave early for fathers' day celebration. Heard they had lots of fun in the after kite flying activities. Really hope we can meet up again for another yet exciting and memorable event! :)

One last photo to end this post.. how can this event end w/o a complete group photo right?

credits to Jiaru younger sister, Peili, for her wonderful snapshot :)

Stay tune folks.

Sweet Coffee, Tea and Ice Cream

Sometimes is good to take your time to do things..

In this modern society.. fast = efficient, time = money, but who got spare a thought for health, who really will pace down for a moment to appreciate the surrounding?

Guess is hard, people nowadays have very little patience for slowness. They just want everything to be fast fast fast.. Please, spare a thought for those who really want to slow down for while and enjoy doing something.

Long weekend is just useful for emotional therapy...

#1: Sweet Coffee

#2: Sweet Tea

#3: Sweet Dessert

#4: Sweet Love

Who wants to meet the korean wonder girls when I have one. hehe

#5: Presenting my very own wonder girl :)

#6: Haha, not tat she is a soccer fan, but the chair is nice and we took quite a few shots b4 my wonder girl get satisfied. =P

Last but not least, spotted this very very sweet old ah gong ah ma holding hands in orchard road shopping. It really inspire us to stay strong, stay close and stay loving no matter what has happened. Cause any bad curse can be broken by a "True Love Kiss - Quoted from Shrek"

Really hope we can hold hands together till we old and till death do us part...

love u

Yumei's grad project showcase

Date: 26th May 2010, Time: about 8pm, Location: Lasalle

Last Wednesday was mei's grad project showcase. I can't believe that she got into Uni much later than me and yet graduated earlier than me. =P

Presenting the Cloud:

Although everyone is from different background, we were still trying to understand her project. Interestingly, it is indeed a unique concept and her explanation is simple and clear enough for us to understand roughly.

Ermm.. except for one who is not paying attention was caught red-handed! haha

There is something particularly I like about her project, which is the idea that we human "contained" ourselves too much in a either squarish or rectangular shaped room. According to yumei, it is thought of that staying in such room is not the best for human comfort. Hence it cut those squares and rectangle into various shapes resulting in curves.

Below is a blown up version of her project. It is on re-design a theatre in singapore. I think is victoria theatre.. (ps: for frends who know correct me if i am wrong.. haha)

Every which, I went to peek at other projects. I admit I was a bit excited that day, one thing is that I have my DSLR on hand, 2nd is that there are so much things that were worth for me to snap it down. Below are some interesting ones:

#1: HSBC helps you remove the pin in your head

#2: The seemed unstable yet stable chair

#3: Cotton on body

#5: Design for a purpose - for the better lives of our future generation

#6: This is suppose to be a design for a recovery room, think is eye surgery related. However, I think I am very happy if I could adopt this design for my future bedroom..haa =P

#7:Ben started shopping but ermm... these were people final yr project too (Fashion design section)

Actually there were more sections I wanted to visit. But my dearest friends were getting hungry and getting impatience haha so no choice had to leave.

Is nice to give support to our closest friend. Soon will be our turn (tys, ben and me), hopefully we can get the same support too! :)

Dr Yamane's birthday

My Summer research Prof's birthday (18th May)
Seriously I admired his attitude, can be serious and also be having fun :)

#1: His face is smashed by the cake. Poor Cake.. =P

#2: His specs covered with cream.. eww...

The worst is that we are being offered to eat the cake.. haha. Who dare to eat? All the seniors (mentors) all disappear till nowhere. Only left us juniors to finish up the cake. Poor us

お誕生日　おめてど！

My 1st guided experiment for summer

Below is a picture of my basic setup for a particular reaction for my summer research.

The purpose of running this experiment is intially for my mentor to test my skill. But eventually it turn out to be a guiding and teaching session rather than a test due to my inexperience despite after having 3 yrs of lab session in school. =.=!


Nonetheless, I really do appreciate my mentor for having the best patience to standby me and guided me step by step throughout the experiment. Although gotten lots of scolding from her, but I do appreciate it. Is good to have a TA or experienced chemist just beside you and impart u all the important skills and also pin pointing all the major and minor mistakes made by either inexperience and careless me..

Can you imagine? (for chemistry student only =P )

From
1) Preparing apparatus to make it dry and vacuum then nitrogen gas (this explain the existence of balloon)
2) Use of syringe to draw reagents
3) Draw THP from solvent room
4) Preparing dry ice for (dry ice + acetone) bath
5) Solvent Extraction
6) Rotary Evaporation
7) Setting up NMR machine
to
the best
7) Washing of apparatus

Honestly speaking, I really learnt alot from my mentor today, so much so that I am worrying now that I can't remember everything! Holiday can be stressful too.

Jia you ba Andrew!!

Helix

Helix Bridge

ps : Sengwei! see that the bridge do have a pink lighting side! haha. It really changes from blue to pink!

My thoughts:

Okie, the bridge is beautifully lited with a unique concept of using trying to replicate the structure of a DNA. However, on the bad side, if you actually step into the bridge you will realised there is no shelter against rain or harmful sunrays. It is also gives one a very metallic and futuristic feeling rather than what DNA suppose to symbolise --- life.

But critics aside, the surrounding there could be quite a nice relaxing spot. You can see lots of families strolling, tourist exploring, children playing.. nice

#1:

I like these changing lights.. Make me feel like jumping onto those lights with the kidszz.. but i scared I will get stomp or scared those kidsz away..

#2: Ferris Wheel

#3: Shadow shot


#4:

Haha.. We are getting violent here..

#5: Real and Fake

Spot the real person?

Pictures are all taken using my compact camera. Hence sorry for those grainy pictures.. And I realised my DSLR has been collecting dust since exams started few weeks ago... Nvm shall make use of this long long holiday to snap more :)

生日快乐

给我一位生日的朋友，

在你生日的这一天，真是不好意思。 没有什么能够送给你的。
只能陪你和朋友们吃吃晚餐，聊聊天。

一转眼大家都只剩下一年的时间，就快要毕业了。从下个学期起，猜想大家都很难有机会可以像以往一样，一起上课，一起吃午餐之类的。表面看起来很像是若无其事的样子，但说实在的还真是有点不舍得。

我总觉得我在上大学后， 能认识你们也算是有缘。所以尽管之前发生了什么事都好，都不可能令我至于到把你给从我记忆里删除。我不是要写这些来奢望能把什么给扑救，只是想借此机会说出我的心声而已。

好了，不说这些了。

在此，无论你有没有机会读到我的部落格都好，我都衷心的想对你说声：
Happy Birthday. 希望事事都顺心所愿。

以下就当做我的小小心意吧。

生日快乐 =D
