Japanese Night

We planned to have a "simple" meal of Japanese with Chawan Mushi, Miso Soup, Salmon (pan grilled and raw) and fried garlic. The weekends has been very difficult and taxing to dine out. We'd need to book a table and we'd also need to battle the heavy traffic to reach the dinner location.

So today was supposed to be a simple meal. And of course, Ko-ko was supposed to wake up early to help Ah Ma go to the market. In the end, they both left before you got up because you set the alarm wrongly and they just let you sleep in instead! 

It was quite a busy day of errands per our usual Saturday, but we managed to have dinner served at around 7.30pm, after Ah Kong had reached home from his meeting at Bayu and had his shower.

First University Information Day

We'd seen the banner on the lamp poles outside of school. So today we cancelled guitar lessons and headed to E&O Hotel to attend the Monash University information day.

As this was something new to us, we were quite unsure of that to ask. And since time was rather tight as we needed to go pick Evelyn up from ballet, we made 2 quick (but informative stops). First was the Engineering Faculty. Daddy sat with you to ask some questions and get some information about the engineering programme. 

I sat at the side and observed the other departments in the room. Also sneaked a picture of the both of you:

I had noticed that there was a Bachelor's of Applied Data Engineering and another under the IT department. We decided to head to the gentleman at the Science Faculty to inquire on the difference, to which he gave us a very interesting and informative explanation on the programme as compared to the Data Science programme under the IT Faculty. He even shared the median salary and offered his business card where he said that he's share a link to the Dean's speech on the degree.
I hope that you had a good idea on what was needed for your pre-university programme to head towards the area of studies you are interested to pursue.
We had to leave after that as it was time to rush back and pick Evelyn.
Here's to many more such information day for you (and us).
