Good news + Bad news
Finally one week of Urban Workshop is over!! Haha... It's a good start of this semester becos firstly, my studio are fun people and it has been a joy to work together with jokes and crap flying all around. 2ndly, we sort of anyhow do and yet in the end during the final presentation, the famous chief planner of barcelona, Joseph Acebillo, was praising us for the good work. Actually it was good to him becos we listened to what he wanna us to do.... that's y.... so though our concept model looks like pretty abstract as it became a concept model.... ... but to him is good as it is wat planner shld need to know... so....
Anyway, after the presentation, we had dinner together in Sumo House at Clementi which marked a nice ending for the workshop and for the day. Enjoyable chat and eating session too! haha~ And admist the week, I received a reply from my swedish urban assistant that she received my essay and of cos, in time for the grading!! ANd more importantly, she said she had read it with great interest! And that she found it well written with clear points and arguments! Thus she's going to let my course tutor to change my grade from F to Pass! Yesh!!! Personally I dun think I did a good piece of work since it was rushed out within a day but to her, and in comparision with my first essay, this is a much much better job la... Anyway as long as I dun fail the subject will do. :)
So those are good news... Bad ones... well.... the parcel I sent to Sg from sweden is returned to sweden.... luckily I put my swedish mate's add for the return add in case. I think sweden is pretty strict in the checking... well... they found a spraycan inside u see... that's y. omg, i have to pay 600 sek (aka abt 133 sdg) to send them back to sg again. wah lao... idiot.... so that is one hard bad news to swallow.... >.<~ Right, this afternoon went to Science Centre with an anime fren and his engin fren. We are people who love to see high tech stuff so we wanna experience wat iFuture exhibition has to offer.... with those Minority Report type of interactive media. Well... ok la, not as fantastic as what I want to see but can tell that such tech era is coming soon... well we took some photos but they are not with me at the moment... so will post when i get those. I shld settle the photos of my trip first. :p I know i'm abit slow at posting them ya~ anyway sis sent me a quiz of whether I am a male or female. and result was... I am EITHER. wonderful.... here it is:
You scored as Either. You brain is neither specifically male, nor female in the way you perceive your surroundings. As bad as this may sound to some, it can easily mean that you are capable of combining both gender aspects to your advantage. Rather than being genderless you are possibly able think freely. This does not mean that you are bisexual or androgynous or indecisive, but it might.
Either | | 61% |
Female | | 57% |
Male | | 50% |
Neither | | 25% |
