Two days ago it was raining very hard when I woke up. Being in Singapore for about a year now, I knew the rain would stop in about half an hour or so, just enough time for me to fix up before I go to work. An hour later it was still raining. So I called up a cab and waited by the guard house.

Water has softened the wood inside, causing the base to be unstable.So, I bought two adjustable aluminum rods and four plastic clamp thingies that I saw in a do-it-yourself shop in Novena Square, to hold the two long main bars where we hang our clothes.chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00313280358200130783noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856090.post-71507252936840107492007-07-08T16:32:00.000+08:002007-07-08T16:54:42.686+08:00Another Tiring WeekThursdayPresented to sgdotnet on OpenXML.

Stupid.Aimee told me that the whole thing is actually divided into 9 parts, of 3 x 3 squares that was also meant to be filled with numbers 1 - 9.
