Nearing the end of the third week of school. Starting to feel the heat from schoolwork...

Tentative to-dos :

1. Euro Disney case
2. IA readings - text and journal
3. IA research for "young" company
4. Leadership readings - last week's and next week's!!
5. Start research for "4-5 page, single-spacing" GEM essay.. brrr!

To be continued... :-(

F***! I better get down to real work soon. Can't afford to laze around anymore!

Anyway, CNY spirit is everywhere. Feel it with the wang wang ads on tv, CNY songs playing over and over again in shopping malls, and the decorations in your neighbourhood!

For the second year running, my MPs are transforming my neighbourhood into a mini Chinatown. Seems a pretty big event; was even broadcast on TV and printed in newspapers!

Apparently greater this year, over 100 stores promising New Year goodies (which effectively is the combination of several pasar malams put together. Stuff sold also similar!), a huge Fortune God statue at the road junction which will "throw" lucky numbers to get-rich wannabes, trishaw rides, a beer garden (???), free shuttle buses, a grand lucky draw etc etc.

This event is even "registered" with the Singapore Tourism Board and the STB would actually encourage tour agencies to include this mini Chinatown into its agenda for tourists! Cool!

Alright, I seem to be "pouring cold water" over this entire thing but please believe me, I truly applaud the people behind this. In fact, I feel proud to belong to this neighbourhood. This event is a first in Singapore!

The collaboration with STB is great too. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring some business to the small retailers here and create some buzz for the normally quiet neighbourhood!

Check out the pics (albeit not very well taken)!
