FOOD!!! + 24Jan 09

Cooked dinner with one of my roomie on friday.. and of coz that dinner was one of the best i ate at home (CLV) for many reasons... have been eating chicken and beef with RICE (my fav) for the past few days and sooo the FRESH steak that we had was of coz a good change!! We specially went to the supermarket sobeys to buy it and so00o it was super fresh... n it's very convenient to go to sobeys as it was just a 5-10 mins walk from my place..

Our first dinner together on friday. Steak + fries + vege

One of my roomie. Lara from Iceland who can cook the steak very very very well!!!)

Our second dinner together.. steak + mashed potatoes + salad

YUM YUM YUM..

Went for a CNY dinner organized by the singapore malaysia alliance (SMA) on saturday.. =)

place - King Tin Restuarant..
the food here was fabulous and not that expensive BECAUSE a big group of us went n BECAUSE it's an activity organized by SMA.. it is definitely not because the stuffs here are cheap...












n by the time we finished our dinner, it was ard 9 plus and so there were no more bus back to CLV!!!

n because it was freezing cold outside, we had to cab back.. n the meter in that bloody cab jumps every 4 secs or so0o0o0o.. and because of that, the cab fare was like CAD$9.60 for just a pretty short distance..

so after dinner.. majority of the NUS, NTU and SMU students gathered at unit 35 in CLV for our house party... each of us bought along some tibits and abit of food here and there. there were quite a few decks of poker cards as well.. and those gaming chips.. and so0o0o all of us played till in the wee hours of the morning.. and i stayed till 4am plus before heading back to my place to zzz.. it was pretty fun just sitting, snacking, chatting and playing with others... in total, there were like about at least 15 of us.. =) and we had some ang moh visitors from other units too.. heard that over at unit 11. they were also having a party.. but it was a totally different kind of party that we were having.. pple over there mainly germans were like really partying - drinking, dancing and etc to the music..

and so0o0o Saturday was quite a fun and busy day for me..

went to brick brewery in the morning and afternoon before walking around in downtown kitchener..
the trip to the brewery was foc as it's organized by global cafe.. n each of us were entitled to 8 glasses of different kinds of beer. and haha.. i drank like only a few sips before i stopped.. don't really like the taste of beer although yihan thinks that it is good beer. ..haha.. =)








More pictures to come!! WATCH OUT!!!

ECE Symposium - 21st Jan

ok. more updates..


attended lectures and tutorials on weekdays.. completed some of my assignments too.. there seems to be like endless flow of assignments to be completed. so i was trying to clear as much work as i can during the weekdays.. went to take a look at the ece symposium on wednesday where the final year electrical engineering students were presenting their fyp stuffs.. N it was real cool and fun here. the projects and stuffs they did were like awesome.. n in my opinion, their fyp projects are definitely much better than the ones in NUS.. i am sure pple who have went to see it will believe me man.. they created things like virtual pilot nagivator which i think was one of the most impressed ones, computerized chess game, n even computerized table soccer game and the drum game that u can find in arcades.. and there are alot moreeee...

Computerized chess game



More about the computerized soccer table game (it took like abt 8 students to build this in abt 1 year)


the blue players are controlled by the computer and basically u can just play with the computer..


Other interesting projects





Bioengineering related ECE projects:



This prosthetic knee one is quite impressive too.. should have also taken a picture their prototype!!


monitoring system that analyze your ECG waveform to detect abnormalities in your heart beat.. sort of like a diagnostic kit..


N lastly, this is one of my FAVOURITE picture!!

that guy beside me has got cool hair!!

they are ECE fyp students we did the drum thingy.. i tried playing it but i was pretty bad at it.. bad eye and hand coordination.. haha..

n come to think of it, i should have taken the picture of the drum and dunno wat too...
