It was a self declared day-off from school today.
I made it so that I could finish up my joypad construction at home.
The installation of the mini joysticks, buttons, switches, antenna, velcro strips, battery compartments and rubber grips are the objectives for the day.
This is what I've done:

After the morning's EE2011 tutorial quiz, I skipped the EE2012 lecture so that I could head to the workshop to fabricate the joypad for the R/C boat.
It was 10am when i got there.
And god damn the prejudicial malay workshop technician.
When I asked to draw an aluminium sheet from him, he promptly denied me, saying that I've already drawn some before and each group is only entitled to drawing the materials once.
What the stupid bastard didn't know was that what I've drawn the last time was only an A4 sized sheet. While other groups having been asking for gigantic sheets. After looking at the records, he finally unwillingly gave me a miserable sheet to cut out what I need.
I didn't even bothered to sign in the record book this time.
Screw him!
I diligently worked on my design, cutting and filing away at it.
Later, I went for lunch, met a friend and we went back to the workshop to continue with my work.
He was there to carry on with his too.
I was about to use the needle saw when I discovered that the saw was broken.
Dammit, that was my last step to completing my day's work in the workshop.
And being down on my luck there was no other technician around but the malay guy.
I asked if there was a way to fix the needle saw(maybe replace the saw or something) and he lazily said:"needle saw no more".
I didn't give up, I went back to the sawing room to see if there was anything i can do about the broken machine. To no avail, i left the room dishearted and feeling desparate.
I decided to use the hacksaw to manually saw my aluminium sheet to its dimensions.
Just when I was changing the saw blade on the hacksaw to a finer saw blade, I saw one of the chinese technicians coming in.
I hurried to him and ask if the needle saw could be fixed.
He went into the sawing room, took a new loop of saw blades from one of the cabinets and replaced it in the machine.
It was so bloody easy and the lazy malay bastard didn't even bothered to go into the room to take a look.
I thanked the chinese man and made quick work with my designs because some other people have been eyeing the needle saw for quite some time but didn't have the balls to ask the technicians. I guess either they wanted to avoid bad encounters with the malay guy or they actually believed him when he said the machine couldn't be fixed.
Later on, I saw a malay student approached the malay technician and asked him how to use the bending machine. (Note:The bending machine is more of a bending device. It doesn't have any dangerous motor driven moving parts and even a two-year-old could operate it.)
The malay technician gladly obliged to the student's request and even personally help him bent his sheet to his desired shape. They were chatting and smilling all the way.

My bettas seem to be doing fine in their 100% water changed tanks.
Furthermore, I've forgotten to feed them yesterday.
As for the seamonkeys, I notice that the adult male have jaws shaped like a large piece of moustache which it uses to cling onto the posterior of a female during mating.

I used a different method of changing the water for my bettas.
The Lazy Way(100% H2O change):
1)capture betta in a small container
2)wash tank thoroughly
3)fill up tank with tap water
4)add in dechlorinating solution & a pinch of aquarium salt
5)pour betta from small container into a fish net
6)transfer betta into fresh tank
Bettas(or any fishes) are not supposed to have 100% H2O change although they are hardy fishes.
We'll see how my bettas are doing later......

Nothing better to do......
While on my way home,I spotted a brilliant sight on a bus-stop bench.
Behind the bench is a glass ad-board,it was around 4-5pm and sunlight seemed to have been split into its primary colours by the glass.
Dunno what the scientific term is called......diffraction,refraction,polarisation?
