The last few days I have been having kinda like a small break from school, although i still had to go to school, but it was the school's special programme and I was selected (other ppl could choose...) to go for the Maths programme. It wasn't as bad as I thought, but I could have chosen something even better... And I went to the URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority) and the Marina Barrage. I was wondering wat these places had to do with maths all the way, and it didnt. Fortunately, cos I cannot imagine a whole day of maths, maths and maths. So I got lucky and went to this beautiful place, URA. It was very peaceful and quiet and there was also an exhibition on lighting techniques called 'Lighting our Singapore'. The place was quite big and the exhibitions were generally interesting, with 3d models and realistic tech stuff, the place was really an eye opener. I specifically liked the game show called 'Know Your Singapore' with Gurmit Singh as the host. A maximum of 20 ppl were able to play the game at once and we were to answer questions relating to Singapore. Do you know why the tallest buildings in Singapore (280m) are all concentrated in the Central Business District? It is because they are the furthest away from the airports thats why they are allowed to build to that height. And, do you know that if you take all the roads in Singapore and joined them together, they cover the distance from Singapore to Hong Kong? Going back to the topic, the trip to URA was quite fun, errrr.... the Marina Barrage on the other hand wasnt that fun. It was just telling us about the works of the Barrage, what the objective is and how we can help. Then, my group and I had to do a project on the future within two days. I enjoyed myself during the course of this programme and was wishing that it was longer...
