At Cathay

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

Currently laying on the cathay sofa waiting for Eragon on 21.50, still got one and half hour more. Thankfully, I bring along my company’s notebook and quickly connect to the hot spot here..hehehe.
Last week, a good friend of mine, Rosie paid for a visit while on her way back to Medan. She is in 3 months holiday, just finished her bachelor courses. She decided to continue for a Master degree early next year. How hardworking she is..
We went out shopping..hahaha..window shopping most exactly…She just bought a 900 dol digicam, and we quickly made use of it. The most prominent target would be Orchard. Yeah we took hundred of pictures that day…of different angle, different pose, trial and error efforts were made to make sure we got the best shot. And frankly, though tiring, but I enjoyed it.
Well, the last two weeks, I wished that the project I was involved in would soon be over, however, it turned out that major and minor problems still came along.
It dragged out all my patience now, it’s like doing things that you yourself do not have a clue when it’s going to end.
Oh yeah, just watched World Trade Center yesterday, got the movie from my friend. I gave a C+ mainly because the movie title and the theme did not suit at all. The movie did not explicitly draw to us what happened on 9/11, only I saw was just two man being trapped beneath the building cracks, and potrayed how they pulled each other out to stay alive. It’s more to drama than the action itself…quite disappointed…in a sense that I almost got to sleep in the middle of the movie.

Singapore Science Centre

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

The peak had come…Thursday marked as the day where I worked for exactly 15 hours…Unbelieavable…Hahaha! and I still had to get up early at 9 on the next day.
Seems that my biological time changes abruptly….I could not count again how many times I skipped my dinner, and ended up losing several pounds. Hope that all of these is worth it !
And I am telling you now…I have to go to work again later at 10 pm on SUNDAY….10 PM..and I dunno until when…Really really testing my patience!
This weekend, again my friend and I planned to spend on Kusu Island, but unfortunately we missed the ferry, and it was the last ferry to depart on that day.
However, plan B came right away, as we agreed to head to Singapore Science Centre.
None of us have ever been there, and plus I always like to go to new places.
We reached there on 3.30 pm, and quickly moved to the ticket counter.
We purchased a special deal package inclusive of a ticket to IMAX theatre. There were two movies to pick, Deep Sea at 6 and Roving Mars at 5, and both are documentary movies lasted for 40 minutes. Actually we should have chosen Deep Sea, but instead we swang to Roving Mars.
Science centre is quite huge, there are lots of alleys and divisions for particular major of science, and it’s cool that we can hands-on many experiments instead of just standing and reading the tag for each item in the gallery.
Coming to the end, we entered the observatory for stars gazing…and for the first time I saw the MOON surface in 5 meters away from a telescope…It looked exactly the same as the one I used to watch on TV or read in the text books.
That day had opened my eyes that human can just do things beyond imagination.
They could come up with science evidence proving that one state can exist.
And their breakthrough just reveals how powerful we can be
