Episode: finish it up
Thursday, November 27, 2008

Got to school at 8am. I was early. The lecturer was the one who came late. I thought the class was canceled, as usually we were the one who would come late for this class. It was kind of dry, and at that time, I was still doing my booklet. But after a while, my battery run low, so I just pay attention to the lecture. We then had to do some tutorials. There was this question which was kind of hard to find, so I went around and took a picture of my classmate's answer. Hehe.

Next, it was time for LEGO. I switched on my laptop using my charger since my battery was low. I was still doing my booklet, but I am unable to concentrate to do it. Furthermore, I need to use my laptop to do the programming for the machine. This time, we learnt about bluetooth connection of one NXT brick to another. At first we tested it out, Glenn and myself. Then we decided to make a remote control car. Glenn programmed his NXT brick into a car, while I had to program it into the remote control. In the end, we did manage to get it done. I was really fun to play with, but it has no reverse button. It just kept going left if we pressed the left button, right if we press the right button and forward if we press both. The problem was that the fun ends when it hits a wall. We tried to create a reverse button, but by the time it was programmed, the class ended.

Back to the studio to do the booklet. It was really crucial that I complete it by today, so that we could print it out and bind it by today as well and submit it tomorrow morning. I was doing it when, something wrong with my laptop. The power seems to be decreasing even though I plugged in the power. I thought that there was something wrong with my cable, but in the end, after borrowing Syafiq's cable, it was still the same and found out that the pin that was the connection from the power to the laptop came out. So, now, I cannot do my booklet, unless I borrow someone's laptop to do. In the end, Dennis lent his. Thanks Dennis! It did slowed me down, but it did not stop me from completing what needed to be completed today. But, now my laptop have problems. Great!

I did manage to complete everything with the help pf my group members. At 6+, we head down to Peace center to print. It really has been quite some time since I last went out, so I kept asking Saf if we are alighting at the right place.

This is when we reach Dhobby Ghaut.

We were there with the rest of my classmates. We did the printing and finished out ring bind, but the glue bind version was not done yet, as the place was about to close. In total, we spent $100+ there for today. My money!! Noooooooo..............


As I said, we were there. Quite a number of us. Majority of us still cannot find a glue binding service at this hour. It was around 9+ then. We then went to eat. While Saf was away, I used her laptop, create a new folder on her desktop and wrote a Birthday Wish on Word and saved it there. I am not sure if she notice it or not. Happy 18th Brithday Saf! Then, while we were eating, Kah Hui told us there there is another place to glue bind. So, we quickly head down there, by cab. Kah Hui, you are awesome!

We sent the booklet to be binded and then chill while waiting for it.

They bought some food to chill with.

We just sat outside had a great chat with each other. It was 11pm, yet the binding have not completed. After a while my classmates told me to go home, as the four of them could take the completed binding for the rest of us. They would take the cab home together, so it was no problem as they stay quite close to each other.

At first I felt so relaxed that I forgot about the last train, but soon I went home with Kah Hui and Dennis. It was a great experience walking through the shop houses there. The lanes just brings a different atmosphere, as the night life is about to start.

Got home, I looked for my laptop warranty after trying to switch on my laptop with the cable. The problem now is that I do not know where I put the warranty. You might be wondering how am I blogging when I could not switch on my laptop. Well, I am still using my laptop, but I exchange battery with my sister for a while. While I use her battery, she help to charge mine up. I check with my classmates who are there to see if the glue binding have completed, but it was still not done. The time then was 1.30am. Poor things. Well, I would like to thank you guys for helping. It really meant a lot. Time now is 2am+, I need enough sleep for my performance tomorrow. Well, wish me luck for SP Star tomorrow. I will give my best. But, guys, do vote for me, as I really need that $100 to pay back for the assignment materials and printing stuff. I am broke now.
