Raman.
Make.Cook.Hot on your bowl.

Real cool , tasty and cheap.Sprite in glass bottle.
It's rare to see gasy drinks in this kind of package
back there in Singapore where most drink are in cans or plastic bottles.
These glass bottles are not allow to bring out of the canteen
As the drink store holder will came and collect back all these bottles and
return back to the factory to clean, refill it and back on to the market.

It's quite a good strategy in terms of reducing company expanditure
and helping in reducing waste material on Earth.

After lunch we went back to bunk to study for the theory test at 4pm later..
As i was tired
i took a short nap and revise those revision papers that i had done in the past 2 day
the Test was quite difficult but it still manageable.

Next, we had dinner and it rain quite heavily.
Though everyone was drench but we had a great time together~
