Substation - orientation

Lolz i break joshua's monopoly of this blog. Yesterday, (wow times flies) we finally went to THE substation iteself. after quite a few sessions of merely scrolling thier website, we had the opportunity to go down. Sadly, Andrew was tied up with watching the tennis team lose, so 3 of us went. Along the way, Myke had only lunch on his mind, and had to be chided for being greedy!( andrew u dont have to pay the cab fare). The place was right beside the old tao nan, my primary school, now converted into a museum. After climbing 3 floors, we were cheerfully greeted by the staff there ( Ms Annabelle). When Mr Hatta, a very friendly guy in charge of PR, came, we were given an informative tour about the various uses of the many facilities substation provided. Being the first vist, we were given a small taks of cropping photos, due to time constrain. Althought there was an akwardness at first due to unfamilirity, i am sure it will quickly fade. Even myke, who has been know to be obsessive about some things, show signs of being asorbed into this, which wuold be a good thing ! I am sure that all of us look forward to our next visit.

PS: I WOULD LIKE TO APPEAL TO ANDREW CHUA TO CHANGE THE SKIN TO SOMETHING NICE PELASE

RE @ substation

Today's RE was actually really fun, because instead of slacking around the com lab, we did actual work! When we arrived at the Substation, we met with a Ms Annabelle, Mr Hatta, Ms Anne, a Mr Chris (an ex-RI boy), Ms Kristin and these two other people whom I, unfortunately, cannot remember names-wise. Mr Hatta was quite nice and he led us around the place to explore and stuff. We also found out that we had to help out in some event about a Singaporean artist's gallery exhibition thing. After which, we got to do some Photo-shopping on a Mac, then we left, feeling warm and fuzzy inside. I think it's the work we did and the excitement of working in an actual office. Felt kind of galvanized when I found out that we'd be involved in some big gallery setting-up project thing. Exciting. Mmmmm.

I am looking forward to further meetings with the Substation people as they are really quite friendly and they keep saying 'cool' which is quite funky. Yep. I think RE is starting to get exciting. =)
