Amp in Progress

Hello! Here's some updates on my amplifier project. Today i made a trip to Kallang in hope to be able to purchase some aluminium. My friend told me of the place and recommended it so i decided to give it a try. Its Block 26 Kallang Place. Its like a JTC area and all the industrial stuff are there.

After going back to school just to hand in my EoM, Cynthia, See Toh and me took a train. See Toh and Cynthia alighted at Tiong Bahru so i was left alone till Kallang. On the way there, i noticed this couple who had a child perhaps 4-5years old. The father was enthusiastic about the child but the mother was just so cold towards the child. Its like as if the mother made a wrong decision to give birth to him like that. It really aches to see such a thing. The mother was constantly giving the child the cold looks and nagging at the child to keep quiet because she wants to sleep. Then when they reached their station, the mother actually made a comment that the child could continue to sit in the train for all he wants. The boy replied no very loudly and the mother sort of lost control? and hit the boy's mouth. Fortunately hist father was around to keep matters cool.

So i reached Kallang, took out my handphone to look at the map and started walking. Walked for about 10 mins and finally found the place. Im so glad that i found that place cause guess what? I also found Poly Electronics over there! Poly Electronics is a company who offer custom winding of transformer. So anyway, went around block 26 but found no Hiew Hup Eng. I only managed to find Hiew Hup Soon. I was rather puzzled cause Soon and Eng is like quite far away? Wanted to give my friend a call but then decided to give the Soon a try and ahha! Its actually the same shop.

I stepped into there office and was greeted with warm welcome. They are rather friendly people over there and they actually welcome small orders. Discussed with a woman over there about the price and the dimensions and the holes to be cut. She calculated a cost of around $40 and i was rather surprised as i thought that aluminium will be very expensive. The lady needed the dimensions of the holes to be drilled to i decided to go straight to Sim Lim Tower to get them and pass it to them so that they can cut accurately.

Went back to Bugis area to take my lunch and then left for home on 67. The aluminium would be ready by next week, can't wait to get hold of them.
