friday finish working

Got up around 7:30. had a shower and it was only 8am. I did some writing and it was already close to 10am. Went to the 2 dollars shop sort of shop. I was hoping to find something good for the frame. I found BBQ skewer which I needed. went back to the shop for some reasons. Then I found stairs going up. Yes there were so many things there and found a good stuff. I was on my bike so I decided to come back later.
It was nearly 10:30 when I got there. worked until 1:30. Cha seemed to be very busy so I cooked curry udon. There wasn’t much we could cook anyway. sue came. She had problems with editing and said that she wouldn’t be able to exhibit. We said that she can show the unfinished piece but she didn’t want to. Instead she is gonna make some board game.
some people came to drop their paintings or stay there to help setting up.
At 3:30 I finally finished the cranes so I walked to the shop. I saw Iva on the way. She must have been walking from the bus stop. Went to the shop and looked around again just in case there is something better. Well, the one I saw was the best anyway so I took it to the casher. I had no idea how much it was cause I didn’t see a price tag. It was 350gen.wasn’t sure if it was expensive or not but it’s much cheaper than custom made frame anyway. It was a bit hard to walk with 100cm times 100cm matt. People were looking at me and some even said if I needed a ride.
The matt looks like tatami so it looked japanesy enough. I cut the edge carefully with a cutter knife cause it was too big and had this edge to join with others. Many people came to set up..
Cha and Iva left for their class. I worked until 7 and went to a bakery. Sue and Sin were still there working. I told sue that I didn’t think they would be there so I made an appointment.
I got there right after 7pm but TL wasn’t there. Her friend called and she came in 5 minutes. While I was at the bakery I was folding paper explaining to them that I had to get it done.
TL came and asked where I wanted to go. I said anywhere is fine as long as I can have non meat dishes. She said there is a restaurant near here where she often goes. We decided to go there. It was close to the primary school I visited the other day. looked like one we have in Japan.
She ordered everything for me. It was so much food for two of us. She had written all the sentences she would need for our conversation. I was so touched. While we were waiting for the food, we started to work on the song. Well, there was one singer I liked from the pile of CD they had in the camp. I had asked her to read out one of the songs for me so that I can sing it in the future. She was very good teaching me. Made me repeat after me and made sure I got it right. She even sang it there. She was very good, too. I already knew the tune cause I had listened to the CD so many times at the studio.
The food was very nice but she ordered way too much. I was gonna pay but when she ordered the food she had already paid. I tried so hard to give the money to her but she wouldn’t receive it..
I went back to the studio to do one thing. It was already 10:10pm. Cha was supposed to drop this paper from Yj at 20 past 10. I rushed to get home. I was 100m away from the camp riding, someone beeped. Cha was in the car with Min. good timing! I received the paper and went home.
Pr was at home with his friend. I showed them the paper and said that I was gonna make Shilou bridge with this. They were very interested in. I had to cut the paper into square and realized that I forgot to get the cutter from the studio. Called cha to see if he was still there but he was already on the way home. Asked Pr if he had one. Well, he did but it was so blunt. I thought about going back to the studio but pr came back with the very sharp one. The best cutter I ‘ve ever used! Got the cardboard box to cut on,too. I made one part and showed them how they would look like. Pr’s friend was so curious and she came into the room and watched me making it for awhile.
There were so many e-mails I had to reply but I just didn’t have time to do so. Finished making the bridge a bit after 2am? Then started to write a statement. It was probably 3am when I finally got to bed.
