Rag Diary Week 2

day 7 25.05.2009

working hours - 9.30 a.m. – 1.45 a.m. (break of 1.30 in total)

song of the day: Green Day Boulevard of Broken Dreams

 

today morning i got something really easy to do

sorted out tin cans

then pasted newspapers all over

as the anti-spy measurement

but something tragic happened

as usual i turned on the radio

but within a minute

someone turned it off

cos they complained it is too noisy

 

then the chair came

asking how come it is so quiet

so she turned the radio on again

then someone told her don’t

cos it’s noisy and distracting

“why this year raggers are so weird”, she said

 

gosh, i can’t work without the music

i will die of boredom

 

afternoon continue skinning the milk jug

at night the 3 costume stylists were here to help

more housekeeping, sweeping

drifting and drifting

till almost two in the morning

 

more ex-raggers were here to guide too

 

ScreenShot008 what’s skinning the milk jug about

the jug was constructed from metal & wood

we skin it by adding rattan as support

then paste cardboard all over

but the pasting must be seamless, smooth

in the process of skinning too

as you can see, everything is solid

and human-size

because there were something wrong

with the measurement with the platform

so they dismantled everything

 

ScreenShot011

 

new rule:

everyone should left together everyday

as a team

but we were given permission to leave early

and had confirmed we got nothing else for the day

 

cut a donut of 2.3 m diameter

out of thick wood

thanks to skilful Andrew…

he took the cutting job

i learnt how to make a ruler out of wood stick

 ScreenShot013

afternoon slacked around

helping with platform

construction and

reinforcement of the stability

ScreenShot014 

time passed very fast

when got people to joke around

to discuss how to slack around

 

first everyone together supper

a miserable tiny piece of Prata

for 30 people, the budget for each supper is

$ 10…..

i gave my portion to Leonard

but i don’t think it’s enough to feed him

and everyone was introduced to a cute little bowl

with own’s name on top

too bad mine is yellow…

 

with supper, it’s expected that the day

gonna last longer

3 a.m.

but bless me

i got to listen to songs quite consistently over the day

 

besides I am like a bird,

i like these few today

  • Your Body Is A wonderland
  • Pictures of You
  • A Thousand Miles

day 9 27.05.2009

working hours - 11.00 a.m. – 2.45 a.m.

song of the day: The Click Five – Happy Birthday

(btw i m 21yrs & 1 mth today)

 

morning did skinning the platform

thank god Chung Siang was doing the drilling

so my job was still bolting the wood

 

afternoon continued with the work

but everybody was tired

kinda slow moving

i tried to use power drill

and even drill too

but i think i was spoiling the wood

 

continued on the platform skinning

till night

then started to skin the top of

the picnic box

the so called picnic box

can fit in ten people i think

but the pro girls took over

they were too skilful

 

i turned to do

anti-spy stuff

reinforced the black cloth

surrounding rag area

 

the debrief today

i was assigned to house-keeping IC

together with Leonard

sounds ridiculous

but that’s what i been enjoying,

don’t I

 

day 10 28.05.2009

working hours - 9.30 a.m. – 2.30 a.m.

song of the day: One Republic – Stop and Stare

 

today painted the platform white

then continue with skinning the little cups

the cups are very cute

they actually look like chairs

if turned upside down

 

then aftnoon went on to skin the little cups

but the challenge was imposed to us

when we need to skin the inner side of the cup too

because cup is not a whole big chunk

just like the milk jug

 

night supposed to continue skinning the cups

thanks to Leonard,

dragged me to help him with the well

did reinforcement for the well

 

this is the first time i use portable drill

as if i know how to use it

my chief engineer, Yong Yeik

gave me some tips too

cool, finally i know how to operate

a power tool

 

my Vietnamese colleague,

he is the one always turned the radio softer

but today surprisingly

twice he went turned on the radio louder

because it’s his fav song

can’t believe it

one of it is Ska8er Boy

 

did miscellaneous things

ended with sweeping

hence, i seriously worked on the cup

keep going

treasure and enjoy every moment of life

正如柴九講, 人生有幾個十年

 

Li Ting asked me

why i have changed a lot

in appearance

since the beginning

is it because i got bf

nope, it’s vice versa

i am desperate for a new bf

that’s why i change a lot

haha

 

at night continued to skin the cup

lots of people slacked inside

doing mass production,

cutting shape for cladding

 

was interviewed by the top management

to see my views about the whole things

i enjoy life in my own way

so i don’t have any grudges

 

something scandalous happened before dinner

Song Han took an apple

and put in directly into XiaoDan’s mouth

the apples were bought by Chung Siang

hence, he is now a scandal-maker

 

at night he helped me to skin

not helpful at all

somemore i cut my finger

that joker took iodine

and wanted to wrap the wound up

to make as if the wound is serious

 

continued house-keeping job

that’s the most fun part of the day

 

somehow i think that today ended early

getting used to working till 3 a.m. now

i joked that i want to improve my housekeeping skills

 

Yuling broke down

when it was her turn

i don’t know why

too stressed up i guess

 

aftnoon continue skinning the cup

this has taken days

and felt very boring of it

but still strived on till dinner time

and it looked damn ugly

dented here and there

Leonard said

during prejudging

the judge will notice the cup

and say, oh this cup is so fucked up

and because of this cup

we lose

 

some more Andrew came over and said

we work with hand not the mouth

hand still can move

you are working slow

he called me an auntie

i gonna take revenge on him

 

we classified the engineers into group

  1. the dream team
  2. the garang guys
  3. the slacker group
  4. the all stars team

after meal straight to work
