Thirsty Thursdays

woke up at 7.20am today, earlier than yesterday by 10mins. had the smoked salmon and leftover salami with the 2 ends of the bread n a cup of hot milo. caught the 8.35am bus, was worried that i ll be late but somehow got to the office door at about 9.02am. so that was a nice start to the day. today on the way back as i just missed the 151 when i got to the bus stop, i hopped on bus 80, and finally i took the 2 buses that have a higher frequency. it was a 154 and 961 i think, from the opp st andrews village stop. finally, no more waiting 15mins for just 1 bus! today was spent working on the comments the client had, more description before putting the comparison donut diagrams, firstly to start w the usage of the mall, and then to say why we chose the precedent malls that we did. it was a good exercise, gathered some GE picts with dimensions. indesign is really the tool for setting all of this up. thank goodness to the one who invented indesign. and also a summary of the 2 perspectives to highlight location of lift. all that was finally done at about 5pm. and along the way i spotted irregularities in the font type that i was using. verdana and calibri, alternating between the 2! terrible. when just finishing up, i started reading through the regulations for the other project. quite a lot of authorities. the journey begins! and just as i was going off, i was told to update the schedule for it by noon tomorrow. it was interesting to discuss the reason of the delay and in understanding which parts of the chart to move and duration for certain task. even though i have to say it left me a little apprehensive. the senior one today had a casual discussion abt the mall today. the barrier free access was highlighted which i did note as a design element to be taken. another one is the VRV system which could be considered as compared to the regular compressor system. This although more expensive, up to 2-3x the startup cost, is actually more efficient for the cooling load. Instead of the 8 individual compressors, the size is actually one big one almost equivalent to just 2 compressors. Very informative knowledge. In the evening went to L place to catch mom and dad as i wouldn't be able to join them on sunday as we got tickets for the port tour. had a chat w L for a little bit, and then mom, even played the piano. and by the time i return home was about 10pm.
