That Cherry On Top Of The Cake

Hmm.

Today, I managed to get back my Garry report (which I did oh so slowly, yet painstakingly troublesomely in three days time due to the absence of Microsoft word on my com), and to my utter delight, I got a D.

D for Distiction that is. Amazing. I mean, there were a few grammatical mistakes and one typo, but Miss Jie Hong (who marked my report, not Garry) gave me some very delicately pleasant comments. Kudos to the both of them anyhow. I don't know how I did overall though for the module.

The main draw for today was basically making a suitable box to contain my tape dispenser. It had to pass through Kummy's hands before being certified as sufficiently 'Professional'. Sigh.

My previous attempts to create a box were:

> A six-sided box that was so big, it could fit two tape dispensers (not the most desirious box), and most unprofessional.

>An eight-sided box which was absolutely butt-ugly, and I stowed it away as a reminder to try and be 'Professional'.

>An eight-sided box improved upon the previous one. Couldn't fit the tape dispenser inside though...

>An eight-sided box which was another supposed-improvement on the second eight-sided one, but it was an absolute piece of crap. Angry and desperate, I ripped it apart in an outburst of viciousness in front of my classmates. Complete with grunts of disgust and abhorrance.

>A four-sided box which was as unprofessional as a styrofoam Da-Bao box, complete with bubble-wrapping interior.

At this point in time, my class mentor, Mr Khairul dropped by and he commented my boxes were unprofessional (place big 'DUH' here). He then inspired me to adapt those boxes used to contain handphones and digital cameras. So I went and did one.

I pasted two pieces of A3 paper together, and I managed to get a proper-looking design which didn't use any glue whatsoever (it was considered unprofessional to use glue), and I pulled it off. The result was kinda good-looking, there were no ugly fold-seams exposed.

So I went to present it to Khairul first. He approved of it, and he 'gave me blessings' for my trip for Kummy's approval .

I found Kummy, and showed the box to her. She then scrutinised it at every angle and said: 'Ok, can do.'

Then I said: 'You mean, i can use this box? It is professional?'

'Yes'. She said, and smiled.

Whoa, what a breath of relief which swept through me after she said that. Kudos to Khairul for that one. Even Alvin said my latest box looked very professional. YEAH!!!!

Cheers,
