EE4410 (Integtated circuit and system design), it cost around $6k to fabricate the chip that we design. So its around $1.5k per person, since there are 4 person in one group. So that just makes this the most worth it module to take. Not too sure about the grade though. But then again, i think our group is doing quite well, at least we are almost done with integration at schematic level, now proceeding with layout design.
We had a try at a restaurant along princep street, Absolute Haven. It certainly left a great impression and will probably be going back to try out the other dishes.
The ambience, it was really relaxing and pleasant. The romantic setting is ideal for couples with the dim lightings and lovely music, although of course, group of friends can equally enjoy the pleasant ambience while catching up with each others lives in the midst of the great food on the table.
The service was great with friendly staffs topping up our ice water (with strawberry flavor) regularly and food served pretty fast. I recalled an experience in another restaurant where we had to wait quite long for our food despite the fact that we were the only customers! Then we were joking that the cooks had to go catch the chickens and fishes… Here, we didn’t have to wait long; the soup came in like 5mins and shortly after, the starters.
The soup was mushroom soup. It was yummy and the bits of mushrooms taste great too. The soup was not too thick or diluted, pretty much to my liking. My starter was soft-shell crab with beetroot. Although portion is abit little, it was crispy and the meat was sweeter than I had imagined, very appetizing indeed.
My main course was Ribeye steak. The portion of the steak was just right, but it was the potato gratins that make it filling. The gratins contained potato and cheese I think. The meat was soft, that the knife just went right through effortlessly, and omg juicy and tender. Add some flavor to the meat with the sweet port wine sauce that’s drizzled presentably around the plate.
We didn’t had dessert there, although I heard their tiramisu is a must try. Perhaps next time.
So there, if you guys are looking for a great place to dine, there is Absolute Haven for you to try out. I give it 4/5!

NEW YORK—The smile, a facial expression traditionally used to convey joy, pleasure, or amusement, is now mainly used to suppress rage, according to a five-year study released Monday by the Countenance Institute. "More than 85 percent of smiles are involuntary responses to mounting anger," the study read in part. "In addition, the length and intensity of these smiles directly correspond to the amount of anger the smile is concealing. A smile that lasts less than two seconds represents just a passing annoyance, while a smile of four to eight seconds indicates a genuine hatred for its target." The study noted that individuals smiling for more than one minute while nodding and baring their teeth are most likely preparing to kill the person they are smiling at.
So if next time i smile at you...
I think it was last week. Ya last week after comex, a group of us went over to bugis and tried out the tian tian steamboat. And to our utter disappointment, we wished we had waited at the earlier stall where it was packed to the brim and had to wait.
Let's start with the service. The guy practically throws us at one corner, gets the money and left us waiting for our soup which took like more than 20mins to come. And despite BK waving at him in desperation after seeing the group who came after us getting the soup before we did, the guy seem to have sense our anger and steer well clear away from us, which was quite an easy task since we were in one corner remember? Then he went on to serve the queuing crowd at the entrance, totally ignoring our presence.
The soup finally came, when one of his colleagues finally spotted us who seemed to be genuinely surprise of our predicament and offered our soup not soon after. So came the soup and then at last its time to grab the food.
The food, well, it was horrible. The selection was laughable and the refill rate was ridiculously slow. Granted, the soup was not too bad. But that’s the only thing I can say I enjoyed, together with the noodles. The rest of the stuff I just gobbled down to satisfy my hunger needs, cos I didn’t eat anything for the whole day that day… Oh by the way, the refill rate of the soup was also absurd, our pot almost went dry and could be used for bbq liao.
For about 18 bucks per person, I would say it’s not quite worth it. But maybe our poor experience in tian tian was due to our high expectations of it; after all it had so much advertisement on tv and was supposed to have won some awards of sorts.
