Today's FYP recording was a dreadful disaster, but it was a good thing as well, because it really slapped us hard in the face enough to realize what fools we have been. 

We had decided to record the sounds of Chinatown today, and under that we had listed the sounds of the religious ceremonies in temples. Chun kiat resourcefully brought us to the Sri Mariammam temple, but we came at the wrong time, or the wrong location, because it was as silent and as still as the catacombs of Europe, in the temple. 

Before that we were immensely late, due to lack of parking space, sorry ck, the weather was searing hot, we had heavy laptops and were carrying heavy equipment. We were dehydrated, annoyed, yet we tried to keep ourselves in good spirits.

The day was terribly discouraging, because we did not record enough to justify using a whole day at Chinatown. Good sounds we recorded were : 1. the gong, 2. bells at the temple gates.

After this, we realized we had to 

1. Rework our list and locations
2. Secure the interviews asap.

Mrt hasn't replied, I'm having a headache, let's all pray for smooth progress in the coming days.

Amen.
