.: Happy 50th Birthday, NTU! :.

Today is NTU's 50th aniversary celebration and everyone was given a half day off today due to preparation of the performance.

Although i didnt make it down to watch the live performance, there's still the live webcast! But then the webcast was so darn lagged and in the end, i miss a great deal of FIR's live performance! Sob... And they never sing their love songs which i really like. Nevertheless, FIR is fantastic! If not because of so many things this week, i would have gone down to the Quad to watch. Ggrrr... and such a pity cos Stefanie Sun did not come down. haha! Right, Janice? oh.. there's also fireworks shot out from School of Biological Sciences. ( It happens to be the official opening for the school. How lucky! and my poor SCBE squeezes at one tiny corner besides them and is still building. =( ) So NDP ... wahaha...

Besides the performance at the Quad, there's also an opening ceremony at the Chinese Heritage Centre and Yunnan Garden. As i watched the webcast, I realised that the "normally waterless fountain" become a pond with a few pots of plant(water plants i think...). As usual, there's the few speeches made by our principal, Dr Su Guaning and PM Lee.. in both English and Chinese. "How far we have come blah blah.. blah blah.. "

As for NTU's birthday present this year, it shall be a 10 million donation from the Lee Foundation that will go into research. NTU is 10 million bucks richer! And for doing so, NTU will rename MLT (Main Lecture Theatre - Our largest and most comfortable LT in NTU) to Lee Kong Chian LT. Hmmm... i guess i still prefer to call it MLT rather than LKCLT... =)
