It sucked.
Well,firstly,i planned to go back to school to do the FYP on thursday, as the cutting machine arrives around that day,so we don't have to manually cut. (like shown in the previous entry)
However, our facilitator in charge wanted us to get the feel of manual cutting of stainless steel (1cm x 1cm),so we don't have a choice, we have to do it. So today,YR,J and me did mainly cutting of the stainless steel. (B didn't come,slept late). Fucking stainless steel,oh why are you so hard? (don't think dirty,kthxbai).
We started at 10am,an hour later,we're still cutting the fuckin' stainless steel. Then at around 12noon,we finally managed to cut out the 2 samples of stainless steel,and guess what? We have to separate those 2 samples,so we have to cut them again. ~_~
So,when we're done,we have to smoothen out the edges and one of the sides of the sample using sandpaper. After that,we have to solder copper wire onto the steel by using a soldering gun to melt the solder. (We didn't do that, as the cutting took up much of our time and strength. __|__)
Lunch - we ate at W4 canteen,most of the stores were open,but there's a fucking loads of human beings from the outside. We didn't know what's going on,and i didn't want to know anyway, all i know is that they're making the queue long, so i end up eating Ayam Penyet from Indo BBQ store.
After lunch,YR and I had to wait for 20 minutes while J was shitting in the toilet (He had gastric few days before). So like yeah,i got bored,went into the toilet, pulled out some toilet paper, went to the cubicle besides J's,and started laying the toilet paper at the top of the wall separating my cubicle from his (Of course,i kept quiet,not letting him know i was there). Then, he called out my name. It's not that surprising of course,since the three of us are the only ones around that area. He told me that at first he thought the guy in the cubicle beside his was offering to give toilet paper in case not enough, but its just too bad i laughed out loud and so yeah,he knew it's me.
We went back to the lab,after waiting 10 minutes for the facilitators to come back. So,like said before, we finished cutting and polishing of two samples, but we don't have the wires to begin soldering,so we started on cutting the next two samples. Then,our facilitator in charge(FIC) came over and told us that one or two of us can go to the nearby hardware shop in Marsiling to buy the wires. So J and YR left to buy,left me to cut the @$%$# stainless steel.

So,they're back,with some green/yellow colored casing around the copper wires. It cost $1.60, and we showed it to our FIC, he told us that there's too many copper wires in it,but it'll have to do,so we just claim the money,and that's that. ($10,000 (project funds) - $1.60 = $9998.40 left for us to spend ^_^) Oh yeah,before i forget, our FIC told us that our project also involves people from the university (forgot which le,but i think is NUS). He also told us that if our project is successful, we'll be given $500 EACH. You know what that means,don't you? +$500 into my pocket,kthxbye.
Lawl,so we were suddenly obssessed with the $500,and kept talking about it before it got lame and we stopped thinking about it. Anyway,we continued to cut,cut,cut,cut and cut the stainless steel for the rest of the day......................................................though i managed to prepare the wires for soldering. We left the lab at around 4pm,and our mood = dead tired. First time we stay until so late to do FYP sia,didn't really know it'll be so tiring. ~_~
Anyway,J went toilet to shit again,and played the same prank again.
Here's some pics,updating it later.
This is J and YR,cutting the stainless steel.
Cant' remember what's this,but i think its' for those flammable stuff.
