Episode: work shop
Monday, April 6, 2009

Sent my gal to work before going to SP today. I was there to do some of my stuff. As I walked towards the workshop, I saw Thierry. He was back from Canada after visiting France and Malaysia. He has been traveling a lot. It good that he is back, so that I can have some help with the CNC machine that I will be using. I saw this too. It seem the cafe had been built up to almost completion. It looks nice.

Hong Guan and Ricky was there at the workshop. Hong Guan called up his friend who is an expert in using the CNC machine, but all I got from him was how to use the Mayka model program. Then at 12, they left for lunch somewhere far I guess, as they only return at 4.30pm. They just left me there to figure out the CNC machine all by myself.

During that time I am suppose to choose my GEMs module. I was aiming for Investigating social behaviour GEMs, as it was interesting and not much studying is needed. I had forgotten about my time slot, by the time I login, it was 15 minutes past. So, I did not register for GEMs, yet. It was very difficult to get the GEMs you want, especially the whole of SP is registering.

In the meantime, it rained heavily. The workshop doesn't seem to have a roof from the looks of this. The rain water was leaking from the ceiling.

Soon, Kok Kit and Wei Lun came. It was nice to see them. They were doing their stuff too. Thierry the savour came at 3.30pm to help me set up the CNC machine for use. It started to cut the wood at that time. Just imagine, from 9am in the morning, until that time, time was wasted.

The funny part of today was that the ceiling of the workshop really give way to the water, creating a few seconds waterfall indoors. Nice.

Anyways, Gabriel came soon after. At around 4+ nearly 5pm, he arrived. SP workshop was closing, so we left the wood to be cutting overnight. Gabriel and myself left SP for NP. He needed some help from the technician there. In the end, he got their help.

After NP, we went to my future school(hopefully). At NUS, we did some wood sanding to see the true surface of the worn out wood that Gabriel got from factories.

Got home, got ready. When it was 9pm(my next time slot to register for GEMs), I was already in the SAS website, clicking on registering GEMs. Guess what? 9:00 and 30seconds had past and all the seats for the GEMs I wanted had closed. I had other choices, but not as great at the this one. I tried and tried for more than 30 minutes non-stop(ignoring the closed slot), but still could not get it. In the end, I just filled in my GEMs with understanding French culture and language.

I still want that Investigating social beahaviour GEMs, I am praying that at least one person changed his or her mind and drop that module for me to take it.
