First Hands On Work :D

For the whole one week of orientation, there wasn't any class at all.

Then second week, start lecturing and tutorials. On that week's Friday, we have Building Lab Alt Week which will be on for FOUR HOURS. lollx. I seriously didn't know what are we going to do. Lecturing for 4 hours?? owh no!! On that week, we were only given some briefing on how this subject works. So we finish that class around 1o.ooam? It was just briefing. Sitting down and listen to three lecturers talking with soft soft soft voice ==" They are all guys, yet they talk very soft.

Not only we were given briefing, but we were divided into groups of 7 too. I am in Group C6 as for my name is almost at the end of the list. My name IS always at the end of the lsit -.-" No. Not because of my initial "S". TARC system of arranging students in a group is by alphabetical order of the student's sir name. As for my case, my sir name is Liew. So, I belong in the class that have initial "L" as their sir name (= My class only have two students having the sir name "Liew" (including me).

Anyways, a guy that I dont really like since the orientation week is in the same group as me. *SIGH* I have to bear with being in the same group as he is for three to four months -.-" calm down sam calm down~



*Change topic*
So, this is how this subject work. There are two group that have the same subject on that very same day. So, Group C and Group D will have alternate week of Building Lab and Workshop. I didn't know what is the difference though but today, I have better understanding of this subject already xD

Building Lab means "How much load can a concrete withstand? What are the materials needed to make a concrete?" and Building Workshop means "Let's build a wall !! " :D

Since we have alternate weeks, Group C will have their Building Lab and Workshop on even weeks, whereas the Group D students will have theirs on odd weeks. Thus, last week, no Building Lab and workshop for us :D and hence we can wake up late!!! :D

But too bad today cannot wake up late like last Friday T.T Have to wake up at 7.ooam cause class starts at 8.ooam T.T

Owh well, went to the lab, another briefing of what we should do.

Group C1, C2 and C3 will be doing the Building Workshop and Group C4, C5 and C6 will be doing the Building Lab.

My group is doing the Cube Test today. First hands on work in progress :D
