So that means rushing alot of projects, ICA and task before hand. Noteable things are rapid prototyping for product design development where we get to print 3D objects in plastic from the models we design in PC, cool.

Chalet wise next week, Derrick & I would still be in charge of food for the upcoming Track & Field Chalet next week, tentative Sunday IMM Giant to purchase all the stuff there. Then I will stay only till Monday night before my flight on Tuesday morning.

😉 Then it will be christmas dinner to look forward too thereafter.
