12/09: NSC & NJRC Finals

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

Another archive post coming right (below).

[NSC]

Started the day by meeting up with Adriel and Jeffry at Dover MRT station, then walked to SP for the buffet. XD

Then uhhh Jan Lin came too, so that he can give a "last-min prep session" for the 3 of us.

How nice though, he was there for the food! -.-"
Frankly speaking, NOI's food was much much better. -wide grins-

So while we were inside NSC programming for two hours, Jan Lin took the courtesy of walking arnd-cum-eating for a full two hours of breakfast.

And yes, we learnt not to use the uber-new Toshiba tablet PCs for programming ARGH.

The keys on the keyboard are spread out so neatly like an ordered table that it was so difficult to type urgh.

Blegh screwed up on my question with insane number of for and while loops and still didn't manage to solve it. (Well I used vars from 'i' all the way to 'm'. -.-)

After th comp, food again! (Unfortunately, no pork or eclairs :/)

Strolled arnd then went to the prize-giving ceremony, not before hearing a talk on courses offered at SP...

18 teams, 9 awards for Algo section. Sweet.

At first we thought we couldn't win anyth, after the 7th to 9th teams were announced, then there was the Merit award (4th to 6th) that all 3 of us were (kind of) caught by surprise hahahaha.

Trophy + digital photo frame.

Not to mention Jan Lin getting the digital photo frame too for impersonating as a teacher, given to all teachers.

[NJRC Finals]

So same thing went to Sci Centre for the Finals, but once I reached there I saw a whole grp of RVCC peeps sitting near the audience stands liao - blegh meaning that all the mission runs had alr ended.

There was the Facebook gang, the mahjong gang, the cards gang and the mugger gang too!

So while waiting for prize ppt to start we went inside Sci Ctr and hang arnd.

Blegh some of the juniors were uber-childish lorh. -.-

After which it was ppt time, sat there staring at the stage...

This year they gave the Championship Award halfway into the ppt, prob because the GOH (Mr Iswaran) had to leave early. =.=

Congrats to Marvin's team yeah :D

Though Marvin would be happy and sad at the same time cse after th ppt he was gang-raped by many many juniors. =.= praying mantis seh..

After which the whole gang of us (26 or 28 can't rmb) went to JP Ajisen.

Whoa at first we scared they not big enough but inside we managed to sit one entire row + two more tables!

Super spacious lo.. but also not many people eating at that peak-hour timing too. -.-

Then I shared with GSM the Tom Yam set, and we both koped from those who couldn't finish too. XD

Li Wei's cute pose!

After that Justin, Kwan Ki, Li Wei, Wei Jie, Yi Sheng treated us to ice-cream (some sort of seniors treat juniors thingy haha).

Huge thanks to th 5 seniors :D :D

Come to think of it, I've not seen any seniors before Jan Lin's batch though, and it was nice hearing that Jan Lin's batch was the first batch to start the end-of-year chalet thingy too ahahaha :D

The remaining ones left - with Li Wei sacrificing himself to take the shot for us :D
