I did have a previous post before this, but the pictures just took too long to upload that the post wasn't posted in the end. Anyway, just to summarise that post before I begin another: Works good. Rests good. Holidays here!
When lecture ended today, my lecturer emphasised the point that the break was a Non-teaching break, not a holiday, as he has heard some students refer to it. And I guess in all honesty, students will use the break to do some catch up, but 2 weeks is really a lot of time! So why not take a holiday? This break has, interestingly been the most clear for me, in terms of what work is expected of me. I know that I have two long reports to write and that's it. Well I really shouldn't add the that's it because that downplays the effort required for the reports.
I've been taking a sudden interest in the idea of vintage. I think a concept lost on quite a few Singaporeans. There's a fine line between vintage and old, and clearly that line can afford to be more clearly defined. So what has my interest got me doing? I want a rotary dial phone! Those really old ones where you have to use your finger to dial the number.
In this day and age where technology is everywhere that you can't escape it even if you want to. It's nice to take a step back and admire how we got where we are. The era of rotary phones, dial radios, juke boxes, type writers, and glass milk bottles! We laugh at the days where we have floppy disks, beige coloured computers, bricked-size cellphones, cassette tapes and video tapes, and Windows 3.1! But one day, these will make their way into vintage and what will we think then?
