Anomalus Scribblings

Apparently the gym yesterday afternoon and volleyball training at night took more out of me than I had expected, slept through the first half of MA lecture this morning, sigh. I guess I will really have to spent the weekend mugging to catch up with all of this week's lecture especially since most of my time will be going into the urban room revamp. I'm still thinking of catching Red Cliff 2 though, pretty sure if I don't do it this weekend I won't at all with the tutorials, labs and IHG all coming up.

The URBAN REVIVALISTS ARE HERE!!!! Bringing new life to the urban room! We started after lunch moving all the furniture out into the corridor before proceeding to clean all of it and the entire interior of the room. Greeted by many dead cockroaches, their "spare parts" as Titus called them and also a lizard flattened behind the whiteboard (We were guessing it's the one we saw run behind the board during the last treasure hunt meeting). The room is seriously SO DIRTY lah, the pails of water looked more like some oil spill scene hahaha. After Alina finished class a few of us went down to Holland V to get the paint. The price per litre was a lot cheaper than what we budgeted for, but the amount we needed was much more than we had budgeted for. But we managed to get the colours we wanted and the guy at the shop was really nice and helped us with advise of amounts of paint needed, telling us to use whitewash for the concrete and an oil-based primer for the shutters before we started the actual painting. Helped us work to the lowest cost possible as well ($30 for 5 litres). Watching him prepare the paint was cool too, he placed an empty can and keyed in some stuff into a machine and it vomitted the right colour out into the can.
Painting the room was the long, messy and fun part! Everyone ended up having paint splattered all over themselves because of the rollers. I highly overestimated the amount of area one can of spray paint could cover, after the can was running low I just sprayed some of our names on the shutter tops instead. Most had to leave pretty early and soon it was down to Melodi, Alina, Kevin and myself. After Melodi left we continued to finish up till all the walls, ceilings and shutters had been painted with the whitewash/primer. After all the painting was done we scrubbed the paint stains off the floor and moved all the furniture back in. When we finished we realised it was already past 10! Time really flew man. Fortunately Kevin and Alina gave me a lift back to hall or I would be back a lot later. Fong Seng for dinner AGAIN. I'm started to get scared of that place lol. Brought the cushion covers back to hall for washing, hopefully they aren't bald after I take them out of the washing machine later hahaha! We're going to start painting the actuals colours tomorrow, can't wait to see it done!
