Alrights. That should be all about the homework. yup I know it's damn alot for just the 1st week! but jia you guys! we're all in it tghr. Any probs just call me/msg me, I'll try my best to help and inform me if i have made any mistakes in any parts and thanks to Alex for reminding me (:

SIDE NOTE: I have done a birthday card for the whole class so I will need all of you to pass Siuyun 60cents on Monday so that I can colour photocopy it for the whole class. The individual birthday cards will be passed around during the person's birthday and everyone can write a note for that person. Those who's birthdays are over, I'm very sorry but we just chip in the money la cause we'll be photocopying it for our lecturers as well.

above is the birthday card. aye. it looks nicer in real life lah. lols. considering the fact that I've spent more than 2 hrs on this, please don't tell me that it's ugly even if it is :D. Rmb to pass siuyun the money on Monday.

Thanks tons,
Ashlyn!
