Day 11: Raining

Quite miserable weather all day, a big big contrast to the day before, raining and raining, morning until evening.. People in M'sia won't believe me if they came and people told them it is summer.. @.@~ Didnt matter tho, since I spent the whole day inside finishing off my part of the assignment (Did I mention I'm the world's biggest procrastinator???) and only ventured out for meals..

Actually the first time I've seen such heavy rain since I arrived..

Couldn't escape in the evening tho, cos we our group had to go to the library to print our assignment.. and its a 10 minute walk in the chilly wind.. The uni has 3 libraries and this is the nearest already..

Had already postponed our visit for a few hours due to the rain, so we only went at around 7pm, we were really confident that we could get everything done before the library closed at 9pm, luckily we went early, since everything that could posibly go wrong went wrong.. haha... The reson being that the library was too 'canggih' for us suaku people.. hahahahaha... Entering was easy cos you just have to scan your ID against the turnstile, kind of like the 'touch n go' card..

Upon entering we managed to go the wrong direction from where all the computers and stuff were situated, and we roamed through the place wondering why it was so dark and eerie.. We even managed to get into a no entry area and set off an alarm.. I think the guard forgot to lock the door, cos he was rather surprised that we were where we were, haha.. so embarrassing.. Anyways, he then directed us to the right place.. There was a guy at the reception area, and its weird that he didnt say anything when he saw us going the wrong direction..

Super canggih 2 in 1 printer and copier

Everything was do it yourself, and the information posted was so limited that we spent quite some time figuring how everything worked (and there were 5 of us mind..), somehow when you login to the computer and click on print, and then scan your ID on the printer, the 2 machines connect and the file shows up on the printer's interface, but before that you have to scan your ID on the reload machine and feed it some cash for your transactions.. Impressive right?! The most high-tech thing in my old college's library was the automatic book check-in machine and this is waaaay over our league... haha...

Super vague instructions.. O.o..

Touch screen printer.. :)

We got everything printed after much fiddling.. the files all chose to rearrange themselves in the computer and we spent considerable time fixing the tables and paragraphs.. sigh.. then we wanted to try colour printing for our chart.. but I dunno what went wrong, after numerous tries, we still couldnt get it done, and there was no one to ask, cos it was almost closing time.. We were rushing to get everything out when they were giving us countdowns over the speaker.. We had unwittingly spent more than 2 hours eventho we thought it would be a simple thing to just print a few documents... Sigh...

In the end we gave up on colour printing and decided to colour in the lines on our chart by ourselves.. However, we still had to stick six A4 pages together (cos the printer cant print such a large size..) with sticky tape to form one large document! believe me, that is no easy task, 4 pairs of hands were needed to get the job done, but i think we did a beautiful job.. :D

Done pasting.. The magic of co-operation~

Tools of the trade..

After colouring in all the lines, voila, we were done! Dinner was noodles wth everything thrown in again.. and boy did it taste good in the cold weather.. haha...
