Industrial Training Programme

Yup, as the title says it. The Industrial Training Programme is finally over. About time! Definately learned a lot, stuff like the datum line, handicapped toilets and access, a whole new breed of AutoCad commands and most importantly, how things work in the real world.

Discipline is definitely a must have in the real world. Patience is also part and parcel of life in the working world. Two of the important qualities that a road cyclist must have as well. Lucky me. Been missing out on a lot of road mileage, and yes, you guys have a point. You guys are working and can still afford to spend hours on the bike. I can't. I'm sorry, I'm still young. Somesort.

Back to school TOMORROW! Yeah, quite excited, and yup, thanks to the ITP, I have been re-motivated to go all out for this semester. No thanks to my lecturers, who are so uninspired and leave me so sick and tired. Maybe it's their idea of tough love, but really, I don't see them trying to pull me out of this mess.

My plans are re-edited! Yeah! Left the IC's, handicapped access route, ramp calculation, vehicular ramp and the GFA calculation. After that is on to the section and elevation where I would have to re-confirm the storey height and building height. Honestly speaking, there is still a lot to do. So yeap, have to manage my time well.

Diploma plus. I must admit, not bad indeed. 9 hours, 9 topics and a B+ grade. "Allowed to continue in the course" was all I wanted to read and that was what was written. Perfect. Taking accounting this year and lessons are on Monday. Ends at 8.30pm. :'(

YES! It's my birthday this FRIDAY! And NO!!! Nike 10k Human Run on 24th October! That means no ride on 23rd October(my b'dae).. NOOO!!! WHY YOU MUST GO PARTICIPATE?! And when I was just about to head down to Vivo for a quiet weekend, NO WAY! Xbox gamefest thing going on, starts 23rd October.. :'( WHAT THE HELL MAN. And BP submission is the week after. ARGH!!! It's already Sunday and I don't have a concrete plan for Friday. This, is, bullshit.

And I would like to say a big THANK YOU to my brakes. I was cycling at my NORMAL speed down a corridor, the lift opened and a small boy came out. I was a mere 5 meters away. I slammed both the brakes, front sus went down, back wheel came flying up but my feet was already on the ground. The little boy screamed as the bike came to a complete halt half a meter away from him. His mum came out with a stunned face and I apologize dramatically before flee-ing the scene of the crime. PHEW. Brakes is one of the areas where you should really spend money on. Either that, or get a totally lousy bike which would never exceed 20km/h. Yup, that's consumer advice from Callum.
