I am really grateful as after so many so many headache and pain and sadness, i am finally paid with one grpwork that rather 'gum'. Maybe the timing to set it in sem break plays a part as well. but watever it is, i believe it is a gift after so many sad things have happened. Thanks. During thee grpwork, it has been rather amusing with all the jokes we said and we haf laughter everyday from Mon-Wed in studio. And the other funny thing is we keep getting eletrocuted!!! static i mean. dunno wat is happening sia, we using our laptops on table all the time. den whenever our hands or legs touch any metal parts of tables and chairs, u get a painful static shock and the prick sound is really really loud that surrounding ppl can hear. so in between our work, u will hear things like *piak* "ouch! wat the *@!(@%$@^" .......... *piak!* "ahhh! damn it!
