Oh yea, if any 2E3 is in here, do remember (& if possible, remind ur classmates as well), to bring the musical card that we did last Thu for Monday's lesson. U guys will be doin' a project based on the theme 'Lights & Sound' (meaning must use LED, musical IC & speakers). By the way, pls keep all the past 3 project work. U will need to reuse some of the components.

Lookin' forward to the MR500 Dragon Boat Race at Lower Seletar Reservoir (near Khatib MRT) this coming Sat & Sun 8-9 Mar 2008 9am-5pm.
