SP Open House & Spinnovex 2008 Day 3

Today is the last day of the SP Open house Spinnovex 2008 final year project showcase. The day started off as a lazy but otherwise smooth morning prior the opening of the event.

Happy Halloween, Woot FYP vetting cleared!

It's Halloween time again and look! no one's celebrating it over here in Singapore! Go around in a costume trick or treatin' and you will end up getting tricked most of the time or maybe being labeled as "siao", a crazy door-to-door salesman or people won't open the door for you.

The Alexandra canal route was exceptionally crowded...
