New gadget. Bumps. Disgusting men.

Today, my FYP group, which consists of me, Kelyn and Shereen, went to Bangkit Rd to take some pictures of some solar panels that are at the carpark rooftop. We could only get a long shot of the solar panels, so we (actually Kelyn decided it) decided to get me to climb onto the fire hose box so that we can get some upclose shots of the panels.

When Kelyn was about to boost me up, I noticed an old man staring at us from the nearby block. We quickly hid ourselves until he wasn't by the window again. So, after seeing that there wasn't anybody at their windows, Kelyn gave me the boost up and I was able to get some shots. I don't have the pictures here yet though. But I'll post it tomorrow hopefully. It was actually kind of fun, you know. It felt like as though we were committing a crime...hehe.

Anyway, after that, we ate breakfast at IMM because I wanted to go there to check out the prices of the hard disks. And I bought myself one!! It was a real bargain. 500GB at $199!!! The offer will remain until all the hard disks are cleared. If you want to get a hard disk of your own, go to New Technologies. It's on the 2nd floor. The actual capacity is 465GB and after transferring some files, I'm left with just above 400GB. This will definitely last me a LONG time...yippeeee!

Here's the picture:

After IMM, we went to school to meet up with our supervisor the "old hag" and then to do our SDD project, which left all of us totally confused. We'll be bombarding our lecturer tomorrow with questions. ;)

By the time we were wrapping up, I was feeling really sleepy. I managed to get an end seat on the MRT about half-way through the journey back home, but I didn't want to sleep because I just bought my hard disk. I was afraid someone would just snatch it away. But despite my best efforts, I did nod a few times. And there was this one time that for some reason, I think my head lolled and just banged against the glass. That jolted me awake! I was so embarrassed I didn't want to look up and admit that I AM awake. So instead, I pretended to still be sleeping. Yesterday, I also banged my head. But it wasn't against the glass. Instead, I hit my head against a guy's shoulder, and it hurt a bit because my spectacles were jolted too. There were other times where I've hit the glass and people's shoulders. And each and every one of them were embarrassing.

OK, so after the MRT incident, was the waiting-for-the-bus-incident. There was this man (around 40+) in front of me, who was so disgusting! When he sneezed, I could see mucous flying off from his nose!!! He didn't have a tissue or handkerchief, so he used his hand to wipe his nose and then wiped his hand on his pants. I thought he would stop there, but no. He dug his nose after that. What was worse was that he kept drumming his hands on the railing!!! Now, after witnessing this, I'll think twice before touching or leaning against the railings. It's just EWW!

The next disgusting man wasn't as disgusting as the first one, but he still made me go "ugh!". Anyway, he was wearing the army uniform. He didn't really have a belly but when he sat down, his shirt scrunched up and his hairy belly could be seen. I mean doesn't he notice it??? Man! What a day...
