Day 16

Intech lecture in the morning, learnt about steel and metal work. Saw real cool videos about discovery channel-mega structures, how steel helped mankind to evolve and how the use and properties of metal has changed over the years. Steel is also termed as the material of the modern times. It has completely revolutionized the way we live, from taps to utensils to new ways of construction. Building designs that used to be dreamt only can now be realized.

By the way, 3 days ago I was woken up early in the morning by a rude shock, the shower in my room was banned from being used because it caused a nice water feature in the lobby itself. The water proofing was not done properly and this resulted in the water from my bathroom seeping out and down to the first level! Oh my… this serves as a good reminder to have proper construction practice! Furthermore, they could not get it fixed because it was Labour day (week) for the Chinese and to them it is an important holiday of 4 days. Nice isn’t it? But the Singaporeans still need to work..


And during lunch time today, we saw some of the students having set up booths which was crowded with people, upon closer inspection, it was a postcard mailing booth for mother’s day. The university’s posting club came up with this idea of helping students send postcards home for mother’s day. Oh my.. kinda touching but I guess it feels funny if you ask a Singaporean this question, but it’s really appropriate for big countries such as China as the students are mostly staying in dorms with hometowns really far away.

fantastic sunsets..
