Evening madness and that giant 5-cent coin...

Hmm.

Alvin has been creating one gigantic 5-cent coin out of cardboard. It is so huge, it is 1.1 metres in diameter, and is roughly 3 kgs odd. It is also roughly 7cm high.

So there i was, in the studio doing my own work, and Alvin went to take his com skills test ('how do you do, sir?') and he disappeared from 4 pm to roughly 7:40pm. Apparently, he finished his com skills test at 6:30, but since he decided to have his makan with his classmates, they first went to the North Canteen, the Food Junction, before finally settling down to get their food at 7:10pm in the Mcdonald's.

That means, they took 40 minutes just to find out where they want to have dinner. Talk about extreme procrastination, and they are complaining about not being able to complete their work.

I tend to take a very shrewd viewpoint upon all this...

So being tired from doing my own stuff (which turns bland once you're fifteen minutes into it), I decided to call Alvin as to when he'll return to Block R, and he said 7:25pm, and he says he'll take 15 minutes, so I offered to help him out with the huge cardboard coin.

I knew what was required to be done: glueing the edge of the coin to its cardboard sides. Since the edge was already cut this afternoon, I just needed to glue the edges, as simple as that. Although the edge would be 3 metres-odd long.

True enough, I finished glueing half of the coin's edge when Alvin finally popped in. We managed to finish it off by 8:10 pm.

The kicker this evening was when Alvin and I wanted to deposit the coin in it's proper storage area. The room we were looking for was room R-205. However, while carrying the bloody coin together, we literally took a huge cruise around the whole of Block R, and we finally realised that R-205 was part of the studio room, which spanned three lecture areas. Talk about wasted time, and disturbing the year-2s while we went through the cramped modelling studio.

I simply couldn't believe that both of us went a huge round just to get back at square one... Man, we were so stupid. ok, I can only speak for meself.

Cheers,
