This used to be my playground
On course at Teachers Network. Made an effort to look for place where I spent my childhood. Of course the 3 storey rented flats are all demolished and have given way to ...
Now the plot of land looks like ...
The road leading to it - Prince Charles Cresent. It is curve, cresent in shape.
I remembered when I was studying at Alexandra Estate Primary School ( Primary 1), my teacher used to say that if I studied well, I might be able to study at Raffles Institution nearby. Of course, I didn't managed to go to RI.
Guess what, I am studying at the old RI building ... taking courses at Teachers Network which occupies the old RI building. Hee hee...

Teachers Network
Taking SPA course at Teachers Network.
No, not the SPA with massages and aromatheraphy.
SPA stands for school based Science Practical Assessment. Not comfortble at all for students and teachers alike.

The Singapore Eye?
Everytime I pass by ECP, I see the 'Singapore Eye' developing. Actually it is called The Singapore Flyer. Actually it is a Ferris Wheel. What's in a name? It seems that it is an 'in' thing to build ferris wheel these days.
The tallest ferris wheel so far is the Star of Nanchang in China standing at 160m high. But after Singapore complete hers, which will stand at 165m tall, Singapore will have the tallest ferris wheel in the world, for how long, I am not sure. The picture below is the Star of Nanchang.
The more famous ferris will is probably be the London Eye .
Malaysia also has its Eye on Malaysia. ( want a pun)
More information about tall ferris wheel from wikipedia:

Spiderman 3 Opening
Wow, the web of spiderman 3 sure catches Singapore.
Watch spiderman 3 today, its opening in Singapore. It's also Labour Day - the shopping malls are very crowded. I booked the tickets last Saturday, most seats in GV are booked; only the front few rows and the corner seats are left. EManaged to get tickets at Shaw, Bugis. Not too bad. That cinema is equipped with the 4K projector, supposedly to be of higher definition than High Definition (HD).
Took this pic just after the show.
