SIMC 4.0 - x

Urm. I lost track. Okay.


Day 4 - The On-Site Challenge Presentation. We needed to present our challenge solution to four judges in four different classrooms or labs. Some of the classrooms are air-conditioned while we went into a catalyst room which was new to us. The SIMC presentation was rather fun except the Q & A part. Haa. After that, we had lunch and followed by an educational trip to Science Center and Marina Barrage of Singapore. I went to the science center before in primary school trip. It did not change much. The Marina Barrage was new and nice. Windy and amazing. I liked the view and concept of the Marina Barrage, but kinda bored by the exhibition room. Haa. Youth Olympic Games is coming soon. 


Later, the closing ceremony was held in the auditorium. I liked the speech delivered by the professor from Hong Kong - the chief judge. An idea is a good idea. The only bad idea is no idea. I think that was what he said. Haa. That night, we had dinner and farewell party. The slideshow was nice and almost touching. Well, I didn't play that game, but it looked fun. Haa. Not gonna write Day 5 as I went to KL on the next day without following the bus with my friends. So long Singapore, till we meet again.

SIMC Part 2.0 - 3.0

Day 2 - Day 3

These two days were the On-site challenge preparation period. The release of the On-site challenge was made in the morning. Then, we had this yellow envelope with CD, papers, maps.etc. The organizer explained some general rules and deadlines. Haa. Later, we were led to our classroom by our SLOs. Damn, the classroom had six fans compared to two, with less pupils. Geez. So fun. So nice. So fully equipped. We started our challenge. Well, I read the questions first then pondered awhile. My first thought was 'what. now what?'. But then we wasted much time. We started late and rushed a bit to get it done by Day 4 noon for the report. The presentation was done in minutes. Haa. It was okay but not so good as we didn't have that much info. We had chats, walk, music, fun, anything on these two days. We were too bored. Why two days period? I wonder. Facebook was one of the pastime. I even strolled around to enjoy some sight-seeing in NUS. Nice school to study in. Wish this was my school. 

Guys, there's still more days. Figures.

SIMC Part 1.1

Still Day 2. In fact, after the opening ceremony, we had our poster presentation to the VIPs. Okay. But then was the cultural immersion trip. Nice one. First, I think I was assigned to a group to mix around. Ice-breaking. Playin those games again, calling names or like childhood games which I barely remember. Haa. I was like blurred all the way till the end. Still thinkin who the heck thought of those games. LOL. 

Well, time flies again, time for the trip. Yea, at last I was on the bus. Dr.Mark gave us each one 'card' and 10 dollars to spend on. Okay. We went to Chinatown. We roamed around temple there, to mosque, indian temple, ate egg tarts, city hall exhibition and Bugis Street. Well, mostly was shopping which I was not that into. Haa. Anyway, we proceeded to Marina Square, Marina Bay, Esplanade, Helix Bridge later. That part was the best. I like sceneries better than shopping. Haa. Oh yeah!

Later that night, I was sleeping sweetly. So nice.
