hmmm.... havent posted on the class blog for a looooooooooong time......... haha..... found this poem on the net, hope it provides u guys with some motivation to continue mugging XD

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Hello from UK. I am basically here to upload some photos and to show that we are all living well. The lodging is not bad, so is the food here. But due to too much western food, too little water (because some people claim the boiled water taste of iron, not sure how true because I am drinking mineral water) and the drastic drop in temperature at night, several of us are starting to develop colds and sore throats. Also, we have 3 injured people, 2 sprained their ankles and 1 had her thumb caught by the door of some museum. Other than that, all of us are well and yeah we are all still in 1 piece. Ok, now to spam some photos (taken using Yi Tyan's old camera and lerong's camera)

Niner Victor Sierra Mike Uniform (9V-SMU) Our SQ Jet to London Heathrow. Yes Mr Lee I did not mug on the flight.

How big a 747 engine is compared to an adult

The Queue for takeoff from runway 20 right, we are next to go after 2 landing jets.


My room, corridor D, room 14A, the other STP guys are also along this corridor


Nope, we did not have an air battle. These are contrails left by jets flying to london the previous night, since the nights are pretty cloudless. (The sun rises at 4am plus and sets only after 9pm)

Physics people (from left): Ding Fang, Jie Yee, Melissa, Tian Yi, Mr Tang, Yong Lin, Lerong

Mr Tang puntting us down the river Cam. Note that the river was named after the town and not the other way around.

An Interesting Sign

A remote controlled chopper which took the group photo of all Reach Cambridge participants from Singapore

An Interesting Boat


Some of our friends trying to re-live their childhood.

Since I am getting too tired to sift through all the photos for interesting ones, I will stop here today (for you all it would be yesterday, since it is only 11pm here). More updates coming soon.

BYE!!
