    Wednesday, today was when all students have to present a SOM PowerPoint presentation to Mr. Lim. MOT students did on ships and marine while ME students did on cars. Chee Seng and I were one the first batch of students to present, we talked about rotary engines, explained and identified the stresses and strain on the moving parts of the engine.

 We also do need to explain if one of the moving parts failed and what happens next. We two did a pretty good job as teacher was impressed by talking straight to the point, the others were not too bad although most MOT students did the Hogging and Sagging part which kind of bores me.

In the afternoon, the class was a revision lesson where we could practice some past exam papers but Chee Seng told our group to do some other time as our IS project schedule was tight and urgent.

I spent my entire afternoon researching on our topic of cars, my part was about first foreign partnership, first plant and first foreign buy over.

 My automobile history partner was Shakir and we tried our best to come up with something to write through research. Chee Seng also added that he wanted my research in the form of a research paper format that we learnt in IS Comiss.

Dinner time, I called Liu Jiao and Lu Lu to come with me, Yat Ming and Chee Seng to a restaurant outside school which we ate the day before. We ordered a few dishes and rather cheap and we treated them to dinner.

While taking dinner, Xiao Jie called us to quickly rush to her classroom as there was a class activity going on. We gobbled down our food and went straight to her classroom, as we entered the room, we 3 were given a special welcoming ceremony. 

Then Xiao Jie and Lu Lu introduced us to their classmates and talked about Singapore’s environment like how clean our air is and so on.

 The worst part was when the class told us to perform like singing and dancing but I was the only one that danced to the beat as Yat Ming and Chee Seng had no talent. Feeling like a fool, I stopped dancing and ended the song after dancing for a minute and back to our seats. 

We listened to songs and watched videos like sand art.

After class, only Chee Seng and I followed Lu Lu to his dorm because we were curious of what his room was like and boy we got a big surprise. Instead of only 2 people sharing one room, there are 8 students in a room and share one toilet only. 

His roommate welcomed us and we started chatting about our lives, hobby and many more. We had a great time knowing one another better but the time flew so fast that it was already 10pm and we had to leave so as not to disturb them and get an early rest.
