Went to the SPH Print Centre, it was AWESOME. The printing machines were huge and the machines could go up to like 40,000 revolutions an hour. So happened that the New Paper was being printed and so we all got a copy HOT off the press! Cool or what?! We also got this really cute SPH ring notebook, I love notebooks. So we saw the printing process the final copy clipped itself onto the pegs and off it went like those ski lifts into another room, so amazing. Almost everthing was automated and I learnt something too! The gigantic toilet rolls used for printing the newspaper are actually mostly PURE virgin pulp and not as we all think recycled paper, beacuse it doesn't tear as easily and cause delays:)
Great guess what,today Melissa and I were supposed to go down to complete our CIP hours so I waited for Melissa to finish her CC test, we rushed to Blk 134 in Ang Mo Kio Ave3, took us like about 15minutes of walking from the MRT to find the place and by then it was already 4.30pm. Guess what?! They were closing in half and hour?! Sorry you've come too late... WonderfuL! So the person in-charge says" there's actually an outlet in Clementi.." whatever... Melissa still had to get her stamps from the Scouts HQ. So we get the number from dialing 100, and then called them nearly 3 times to enquire. Feeling very hot and flustered we bought some grape flavoured ice-cream with a medicinal taste,eww... but quite refreshing.Ooh! Met Larry, Melissa's friend he's really nice, very "stylo" is my only discription:) yes, we did finally get the stamps. Phew, what a day! My tag board is feeling a little lonely... Do add your comment after reading my blog, whatever it is..Thanks:)
Dreaming of a new day ahead!;
Just making my way through the crowd
