Day 1
I actually broke my record, left house 1 and half hours earlier and was late by half an hour. 0.o wthwthwth. I didnt know the freakin' train ride from east all the way to the west was 55 min. i could actually finish my first episode of Gossip Girl on the train. Lol. Cabbed down to NTU from Boon Lay and the cab actually doesnt have a NETS machine. -.- Sorry uncle, but i dont have cash. Got to borrow from Joelyn. But as i went up the first MAE building to look for her, building 3.2 i still remember, i got lost. NTU actually named their levels with the first level being B4. W.O.W i got off at level 1 realising Hey, why am i not at the groung floor? Anyway, Ann-Marie was really nice and she was saying how everyone got lost on their first day. Lol. See, im not the only one. Hahaha.
Day started off with Dr Slava on Robotics which i didnt really much understood and the robots there looked really impressive. Hahah. All the 3D stuff and Dr Slava was telling us about this robot which was programmed to climb down a flight of stairs, press a button to open the lift, go into the lift and press the button to the 2nd floor, get out, find a room with a mannequin in army suit, touch it, and return. Impressive huh. Okay, but the robot jammed as it was trying to get out of the lift at the 2nd level. Haiyoh. Forgot to take photos or the robots.
Next was Fuel Cell, which number 1, i cant really absorb or hear what the prof was talking about and number 2, i have no interest in it. It's basically about getting future source of energy and stuff like that. Took the most photos here, which was.. not logical. Hahah.
One of my favourite for the day was Cardiovascular Dynamics Lab. The prof pangseh us. -.- But it was alright because he got this nice researcher to take over instead. She told us all about cardiovascular stuff and weird plastic and tissue valves you put into a person's heart. Talked super long to her and i was actually able to aborb everything she said! Hahaha. Found out about being a researcher and stuff from her too.
Break with Ann-Marie. Talked loads of stuff and Ann-Marie treated Subway. Hahah.
Met Prof Butler and he showed us this car they've built using solar power. Cool stuff.
Followed by Prof Yongki at Aerospace. My other favourite of the day. HAhah. Saw loads of cool aeroplane models and even real ones. The most awesome thing was the flight stimulator thing which u go in and play around with the gears and the thing works exactly like you are in a plane. Reminds me of my little ambition to be a pilot. Hahah. Went upstairs of Aerospace and looked at history of Aerospace, and we played another miniature flight stimulator which i keep crashing the plane. I have no idea why. Lol.
Day 2
Left house 2 hours earlier. Thought i was going to be before time and i actually got down the wrong MRT station twice. -.- So i ended up reaching just in time and maybe... a little late. Nanotechnology for today. Briefing by Prof Butler in the morning and he brought us to this lab assistant who showed us measurement of surface roughness using laser and nanotech.
Lunched with Prof Butler and Ann-Marie at SAKAE!!! Prof Butler's treat! ^^ But felt a little guilty, the meal cost him about 70 bucks. ><
Anyway, afternoon we went on to Prof Butler's lab to play with some dough thing and see the smoothness of our hands and Prof Butler actually said, "Hey, yours is the smoothest i've seen so far." Lol! Sat around and talked crap with him all the way till 4 from university admission to Paris Hilton to St Marg's uniform. Hahaha.
End of day. Intended to do only survey for Ann-Marie and we ended up talking about everything for hours. Omg. Hahah.
Yup. That's about my job attachment. Love Ann-Marie and Prof Butler! :)
