Quake Measured 7.6 at Southern Sumatra

Just heard the news after come back for dinner just now. Gosh, everyone says the felt the quake, but I don't even feel a thing when I was in Lab.

This shows how concentrated I was during Lab session just now. TA-ing. *hur hur hur*

Intel Atom 32nm Chip in Q4

Really surprise me when saw the articles. I thought my semicon lecturer told us that its very hard to shrink the Gate Length of MOSFET beyond 45nm. Imagine the technical challenges that one will face, how they going to fabricate the chip in terms of photolithography. The wavelength of shortest visible light source (violet - 380nm) which is used in the process is way bigger than the gate length of the MOSFET.

Anyway, more readings here.

Imperial Restaurant

Had our lunch at Imperial Restaurant, Vivo City - The shop that Jiawei keep on recommend us to go. Haha.

The food there is indeed good, and its not expensive either. What I like most is the prawn noodle and the egg tart.

Just one thing that I must comment about - The collocation of items in the restaurant. The restaurant name suggested its Chinese cuisine. Nothing wrong with that. But the chairs inside... its so state-of-the-art/modern cushion design. And the menu - its angmoh-model-wearing-cheongsam-eating-chinese-food. Well, just feel the whole atmosphere is weird. =)

vicious cycle

Been telling myself to keep myself out of any infinite cycle.

Similar problems will just keep on repeating itself if you just try to amend it, without rectifying from the root/source.

*puff*

So, 자신의 마 열쇠입니다!

Alison's house

Went Alison's house for a visit. Wanted to see her bungalow for quite sometime already. Its near Geylang Serai Malay Village.

Then we went to the temporary market for Ramadan to get Malay food for dinner. The market reminds me of the Malay food back in Malaysia. Frankly, I still prefer the Malay food back at hometowen, especially for Rendang. :)

Yuling & Aloysius Bday

Helped Yuling and Aloysius celebrate their birthday at a Haebok Korean Restaurant at Furama City Center, Chinatown. The service there is good. But the food there is just average in terms of taste and value.

The birthday cake and other photos.

After that we went to Mei Heong Yuen Dessert (味香园甜品) which situated just a few stone throw away for dessert. Wah, the ice-cream dessert there very nice, especially durian flavour. I like durian! =)

Heard about the shop before this, especially reviews from blogs - a must-try shop for Chinatown area. But, I haven't been to this shop until now. The signature dishes there are "Mango Sago with Pomelo" (杨枝甘露), "Peanut Paste" (花生糊).

甜品s!!!




The address: 65 Temple Street, 058610 Sg.

20090905 Orchard Outing

Went Orchard with YC, Jiawei, Tina, Simin, (and Cindy). Plan to buy formal shirt from Gant at first, but who knows all the shirts there don't suit my taste, and not very cheap also although its clearance.

Went Ding Tai Fung eat after that.

Damn cute lar!!! and some of it even can be idea for RAG.... oh gosh, I still can't get rid of my 职业病.

FYF Meeting

Had FYF meeting just now.

Fatt was elected as the Command IC. I'm sure he will do a good job. He has plans on his mind, and prepared to take up the job.

For me, I'm not sure what lies ahead... I foresee its gonna be "the road not taken" - two roads diverged in a yellow wood...

See how things go...

---

There are two way to see command.
1. A dream/target for residence to strive for, till final years.
2. A happy-and-sad event where everyone come together reminiscence the hardship they've been thru or friendship they've forged throughout the stay in KR.
