Episode: my ITP (first job ever, first day of work)/ 300th post
Monday, February 16, 2009

Woke up as early as 6.30am, and got out of the house at 7am. Taking the train towards the red line was great as there were not many people, so it was not crampy. The journey in the MRT took around 40 minutes. Then, I had to wait for the bus to arrive and when the bus came, I took it. I alighted at the place I recognised around at 8.30am. So, I reached his house and called him up. At that time, he was still sleeping. He told me to go get breakfast and come back at 9am. So, I did. I got to the prata shop and ate some pratas.

At 9am, I got to my workspace. It is not much, but it is cosy. The first thing that I did was to come out with some ideation sketches to one of the projects.

Then, we went to Wendy's house to take some product shots. Wendy is another person in the OutofStockdesign. She is the one who usually does the photo taking. We took photos of the parts of the furniture that they designed. It took quite some time. We ended at around 1pm or so.

Then the assembling part. After a while, we found out that one of the part of the chair is missing. Why missing? It was because Sabastian from Spain somehow did not ship in the part together with the rest. Then, we had ot stop taking the pictures.

We were planning to go the workshop to fix some shipping problems on the chair. But before that we had lunch. I had the biggest serving of Mee Rebus in my life. It was not that nice though.

Only after that, we went to the workshop. We somehow got lost, but we found a new workshop to do some carpentry. It is located at Defu lane. So, next time if I want to custom make a wooden furniture, I would have to come here and provide them the dimension drawings.


After that, we head off to the trusted workshop. Spent quite some time asking the guy(something like our Ricky in SP workshop) on how to assemble the furniture and making it easy to disassemble as well.

With this, I had learnt that providing a good dimension drawing is very important.

It rained as we were going back to Wendy's house. There, Wendy gave some stuff for me to do for tomorrow's work and she even add me to the OutOfStock work area online. Left there at 6.30pm. Got home at around 8pm.

Tomorrow, I will be coming to work in slippers and a much more chill shirt. Gabriel does not mind at all.
