Canada Trip Day3

Today is the 3rd day of stay over here.. well, today some of us managed to overcome our jet lag and were able to get up early.. but some of us still feeling a little tired but i guess after today we all will feel better..
We started off with the breakfast they had prepared for us.. and over there, we met the management of the SAIT Polytechnic. We had a simple introduction and they are all very friendly and glad to help us to gain the Canada experience.
After our breakfast, we had Craig(he's the one who came to Singapore through the GEN programme) gave us a tour of MECHATRONICS section..
Over here, we met ROBERT, one of the lecturer and he started explaining his scope of lectures he gave to the students.
Then he started to explain one by one on how each machine works which we find very interesting.
This is one of their student's project.
After that we headed to the Industry Automation. It's actually a millwright section where we have gained additional knowledge on plant equipment.

So that will be the end of today's post.. find out more on our journey on our next post... Thanks...

Canada Trip Day2

Hello everyone.. PEGGY & KAH SENG here. Today is the 2nd day in Canada. We had an interesting tour around Calgary Downtown.
This is the Calgary Tower. The height of this tower is 190.8m which is equals to 525 storeys.
This is our group photo with PAM(who is the SAIT GEP coordinator) in the Calgary Tower.

The weather today is WONDERFUL as it's like -5 degrees celsius because of the chinook wind, the weather is very dry. this weather will last till thursday and the weather will change again.. and there's a joke about CALGARY which PAM, mentioned.. it goes like this.. "if you don't like the weather in Calgary, you just need to wait for a few mins". That means the weather can change anytime in the day. After that we had a wonderful tour of the SAIT Polytechnic. We were given the ID cards to access the facilities in their Polytechnic.
This is our group photo in front of the Heritage Hall. So that will be end of today's post.. Catch us more tomorrow!! cya... =)

SIGNING OFF, PEGGY & KAH SENG

Hello! =) Janice Leo reporting!. heehee, being the first one to post on the first day, which was a SUNDAY would be easy for me. Haha. We've just arrived quite a while to Calgary at 1245 on the 1st of Feb over here (not singapore). It was the most tiring of my life ever because we took total of 24++hrs just for the airplane cause I've been like a walking zombie for the whole 2 days and a half. Well, it can be said that I can actually sleep on the plane. But it's difficult for me, somehow it felt uncomfortable sleeping in an compact small space in a sitting position. It's like we are the tuna from the cans =P. Haha. Thank goodness that the technology has been so advanced that we spend our time watching movies and listening to songs that they provided for us. Hmmm.. Peggy complained the most about sitting on the plane for such a long hrs make her half bottom numb/cramp. LOL. I think she spend half of her time standing and walking in and out of the toilet. haha. It's okay i understand, cause she have her laptop underneath her legs that gives her insufficient space to move her legs around. Oh! I remembered! for the first few hours on the plane to Tokyo, Desmond was being "retarded" , erm.. can call it hyper active. LOL. I mean it's because his first time on the plane, to him it's exciting for him I guess. But then his action was somewhat irritating but funny. He started talking rubbish to himself and also started disturbing Peggy,Ks and me ~_~. haha. Anyway, when we reached Calgary, we were brought to the hotel for check in then after that we bought our groceries. I think I bought rubbish =X haha. At least I think it's healthy i guess. Haha. actually, I was thinking of eating outside with Peggy.But when I see all selling fast food, I'm afraid she and me would get fatter =X haha.

That's all I've got to say about today.

Toddles ^-^
