News, events, and other interesting finds

The past 3 days (26-28th Dec) I was in Malaysia for a holiday. Just came back only. I had lots of “junk” mail (system generated) from many forums that I participate in, wishing me a happy birthday. Tomorrow I’m going for a steamboat dinner with a few classmates.

Today (oops, yesterday already) my church had a Christmas dinner event. The food was O-K (not that good or bad). I helped out with taking pictures.

Today for XML I had a practical test. I completed the test within 30 minutes and proceeded to check my answers, then as I had nothing much to do, I ‘enhanced’ the codes with CSS (and submitted both in the end). I don’t think I can get the full marks as there was one part I might have done incorrectly, which I had no idea on how to solve it.

EDIT: In the end I got 99/100 for the test.

Today, I collected the free movie voucher from National Youth Council (for participating in one of their surveys). My family is in Malaysia, so I bought two packets of chicken rice for my lunch and dinner.

I spent last night creating a new design for my website and slept at about 2:30am. I couldn’t upload it at home as the ADSL modem was down, so I brought it to school to upload it.

After my classes today, I took the MRT to Plaza Singapura’s Cafe Cartel for dinner with the Bubble Tea group, to “celebrate” the last day for those taking the ‘O’ levels. I met my brother and sister at the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. Aunty Guek Ju and Avonne was there first. Elizabeth, Si Rui and Allison arrived after us.

We accidentally (did we?) ordered too much dishes – 3 combo sets, and some 10 scoops of ice-cream, and couldn’t finish them. In the end Elizabeth, Si Rui and Allison took the remainders home.

My mother and grandmother went to Sarawak this morning. Tomorrow my brother and sister are going to the Bubble Tea “Retreat” at Safra Changi.
