Went out with Qing Yong to One Marina Boulevard as we had signed up for this course thingy that lets you MAKE YOUR OWN XBOX GAMES~!! Yea, I thought it would be cool to learn how to create your own game and share your 'masterpiece' to others. And weird thing is, this Hands-On Lab course thingy is made for my course~!! Coincidental yea? Haha XD
Anyway, I came late.
Ok anyway, we went to the 7th floor and saw this little booth just beside the glass automated door. They told us to fill our particulars on this little piece of card. And we got our freebies!

What you see there: A manual on creating your very first own game, a notebook and an installation CD on Microsoft Visual Studio: Express Edition
And no goodie bag WTF! But then again, luckily I brought along my bag. We around this area to a lounging place and saw lots of others there all waiting for the workshop to start. Or so I thought. There were free drinks for anyone to take from the fridge. Yea, you don't have to pay for them at all =)

A view of the town taken by Qing Yong. =)
A few minutes later, some business-y guy told us to proceed to the Auditorium. I didn't know where the Auditorium was, despite it being more or less a 1-way path towards the place. And so I stoned and apparently blocked everyone else's path. ><
So we entered the Auditorium and me and Qing Yong were like "WTF?" Where are the computers? Is this supposed to be a workshop? And then it struck me. We're attending the Imagine Cup Awards Ceremony. -_- Ok, so it took like about 2 hours before it ended. I don't have a single clue about what the Cup is all about so we just look at the different things Microsoft had done and some cool programs bla bla bla...
And Jonathan Leong from SI season 1 came as a special guest.

---End of Awards Ceremony---
Ok so the host told us to go to the 22nd floor to try out the Hands-On Lab on the XBOX. Ok... wtf again. They directed us to the wrong place! Why did they send us to the 21st storey instead -_- The place we wanted to go and they sent us to the wrong place. But anyway, we signed up last minute and managed to get seats in the room at the back. It deals with VB codings. As expected. Just from looking at the CD itself i know we're gonna deal with VB codings. The workshop ended quite fast. We just added what the instruction told us to do. Shortly after we left. Haha.
Raffles Place lack of HALAL foodcourts.
It took us a while before we found one. And we had our dinner there. =X And then we went home. I managed to catch the sunset ^^ Took them outside my house
Notice how the different exposures can give people a different 'meaning.'
That's all for today. =)
