Last Monday, I did a stupid thing. I went to attempt to do a chin up on my bunk's door ledge. As I was going up, my right hand lost grip and I fell... on my outer right ankle... After that it swelled, was quite bad... its like having a double chin on your leg...
Sgt. scolded me -.- ok, if i were the sgt i would also do that la... cus its the most cock thing i ever done in my life...
Thought was sprain only so didn't continue the rest of the day's activities. Next day swelling subsided slightly and reported sick and went to see MO. Went thru everything until the x-ray part where I was told that the guy had taken the rest of the day off -.- had unofficial excuse of physical activity for the whole of that day.
Following day (Third day) went to see MO for xray. By then i could almost walk normally instead of limping for the past few days and the swelling had subsided by ALOT, my leg looked normal just very slight swelling. X ray done and went up to see the real medicial officer where they said that there was a fragment in my leg... I was wtf?! They then said that i was to go to cgh immediately, which ment after like 2 hours of waiting? And it was because they were unable to diagnose what is wrong with my leg.
Got to cgh, by cab with sgt, by that time i could walk almost perfectly. Waited again... and finally went to see the doctor whom i showed the xray to. She then asked me if I had any old ankle injury which i denied as i didn't remember having any really serious ankle injury... She then consulted her "senior doctor" and came back saying that she was going to cast it to be safe... WTF cast... crap. I begged her, like maybe give me some rub or sth, anything but a cast. But it was futile.
Why I do not want to be casted?? Heres why.
Firstly, I have had unplesant experiences with CGH and it also involved a cast. Secondly, a cast on my leg means crutches which means movement would be a chore... ARGH. Then she told me, MC for 1 week and I was like OK, because 1 week is the maximum if i do not want to be oot.
Went to counter to collect crutches(argh) and they taught me how to use which i mastered on the first try... Then came the fucked up part. There was no slot for me to remove my cast so my MC had to be extended another 5 days to 20th july, which is the coming monday... ARGH!!! Sgt told me i confirm oot. DAMN!
But there is this chance, a small opportunity for me not to get oot-ed... This is because due to h1n1, my company did not carry out alot of activities, which means that i did not miss much. Gotta beg my PC to not let me oot...
Also hope that my leg's all right and all healed up...
Side notes:
Apparently I had an avulsion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avulsion_fracture for more)
and
I MISSS MY SECTIONNNN

WOO, 1st book out... when im in tekong i feel that im in another planet... and everything there is damn rush... summore my bunk is on the 5th floor which is the top floor and they usually give us damn tight timings to get things done.
And when i thought that i could have a good rest at home, some prick upstairs decides to knock down the whole house with a pneumatic drill at 9am in the morning... the noise level is approximately 90db and i'm wearing earplugs as i am typing this...
faggot.

Enlistin
Enlistin in a few hours time... Gonna miss my friends and my current lifestyle, hahaha...

ARGH!!!
Formatting C:\ was a big mistake. Lost all my bookmarks, history, settings(especially equaliser) and lots of stuff.
At least now i know its a hardware error and nothing to do with the driver.
FUCK!!!
At least now i know its a hardware error and nothing to do with the driver.
FUCK!!!
An Entry... For Now.
AHHHHHHHH!!!
Firstly, Your enlistment date is on 16-Jun-2009 BMTC1, 1PM.
THEY FREAKING CHANGED MY ENLISTMENT DATE!!!
Secondly, went for supper. Drove to WR's house, then to KY's house. Turned out to geylang lorong 22 and to geylang road, wanting to enter the pie via sims way to upper thomson road. There was a hell of a jam there. Note to self: Never go by geylang again, fucking nightmare. Then it happened...
About 300m from the junction of sims road in the middle lane, a sudden decompression of some kind occured. A small pop sound followed by huge amounts of white steam/smoke was seen from the left side/port of my car... First thing i did was check the temperature gauge, which i hoped was working. It said that the engine temperature was normal. That ruled out any possibilty of an engine fire. Next thing that occured to me was that the brakes were on fire.
WR lit the hazard lights while i turned off the engine and opened the door to check for any form of fire, none was found. Restarted the engine and proceeded slowly to the shell petrol kiosk which was approximately 250m away. While changing lane, a fucking inconsiderate van was trying to turn out from a small/minor road although i was in the right of way. Fuck him.
Reached shell and stopped. Did a more thorough check and found still found nothing. Phoned my dad and asked for advice. He didn't sound kan cheong and asked if the engine temperature was ok. I told him yes then he was like oh ok, so should be ok la. If u want u can drive back, and take your time. LOL admire him for being able to talk liddat in such a situation =/.
While driving back, i felt that the air con wasn't cold and concluded that the air con coolent may have been the cause and the white mist/smoke is the coolent escaping from the pipe.
CHIONGED back home and parked at lot 248. Took a silver kia cab to 246 upper thomson road. Damage: approx 10 bucks.
2 chio boos boarded the cab we took, damn lor, let the uncle zhuan dao...
Walked cross the road to ICE3 Upper Thomson. Had some food there.
Pics:
When there were lesser people at the prata place, we went there. I had a chicken brayni and teh ping. Too emo/sian to take pics.
All pics courtesy of WeiRong Kang.
Damned indian taxi driver driving a wish for trans cab took us for a ride to ky house... After that we gave distinct directions to him. Feel the kia's 0-60 speed is more zai than the wish's. Either that or the wish cab driver nvr pia gas...
Anyway, i have ran out of ideas for my laptop. Even as i blog, the screen is blacking out every now and then. My graphics is lagging also. For example when i move a window it will be very jerky.
So i have decided to format it later today. Wish me luck. If it fails I may not be able to blog for quite a while and will need to get a new desktop =/. Preperations are all done. Its now all up to my 3-4 year old laptop.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh BITCH
Today...
Went to play bowlin, with chun ming, kenneth, zhifong, bob and dexter, was quite enjoyable. Saved $1.20 by bringing my own shoes. Played ok, its hard to play with house ball once u get ur own... My fingers are small therefore i need to use light balls cus they have smaller holes. The balls with smaller holes have a small span, hence making it difficult to hook. Lighter balls also have a lower hitting power. Everytime i hit the right pocket (Therotically the right hander/rightie pocket), i get a 7-10 split. Hit cross and i have pins remaining =/
Headed to katong to play lan after that. We went to the east side fc lanshop first and saw this china woman sleeping on the job. Our presence kinda woke her up and we asked for the price. It was abit more expensive than the home of pool where we usually played. So we headed to home of pool where this ginna with his ah lian girlfriend greeted us, 'kiao kah' with a "No outside food and drinks allowed". Then some of our group did not have a home of pool membership and we unwilling to pay $1 for it or sth like that... wasn't too sure.
Seeing the crappy attitude he gave us, we walked out and back to the china woman where the service was considerably better. Played there for 3 hours. 1 game of versus l4d and 1 game of dota where we were winning (I was owning) and got disconnected cus time up =/.
Gaming there just made me feel the feeling of a new com. It was truly an orgasmic experience. The coms there were using a cooler master centurion 5 casing with a geforce 8800gt AND A 22" WIDESCREEN MONITOR didn't take notes of the cpu tho, but still damn swee lor.
Afterowning my friends that, we headed to ken jia to ma jiang. won 30 cents... When i was heading home, MY EZ LINK CARD FUCKING SPOILED... THE FUCKING SENSOR CANNOT DETECT IT... ARGH I HATE EZ LINK!!!!!!!!! Moreover, the DAMNED tiong driver told me from parkway to eunos mrt is A FREAKING $1.50 I WAS LIKE WTF?!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH then ask him again and again, and he said $1. Nevermind. PAY LIAO THEN TELL ME THE FUCKING TICKET MACHINE SPOIL. KNN
I got tionged.

The Next Post
Disclaimer: If ure not a geek/nerd/computer freak or wadever, you are advised not to read this post. Thanks =)
Reasons that have been holding me back from buying a new com:
USB 3.0 to be out next year. Big problem is that a new 8 wire connector would be used, which would mean most likely that a different connector is used.
Sata3 aka SATA 6gb/s, which would mean current sata2 hdds would be old stock and the problem comes when the connectors change or are not backward compatiable.
Change of pins of the cpu for intel. If i get a future proof processor, which is the i7, the whole rig would add up to approximately 3k. Older processors like the core 2 duo or core 2 quad are using socket 775 which is about to be obsolete VERY soon.
DDR3 ram will become a norm soon. If ddr2 gets obsolete, the prices would go up and an upgrade of ram would be very costly.
Anyway, if i were to get a new rig, these and the most probable specs:

Been sick lately. Started last friday. Went to see doctor on monday. Apparently singapore is having its own kind of flu.
Went to eat fc2 cai png for brunch in school with joel because we were craving for it for the past few days, HAHA. On the train there, there were alot of people coughing and or having running nose. After eating we went to walk around and saw that a subway had opened in foodcourt 5 sellin their bread $1 cheaper than outside =S. Summore they were hiring!!! sian.
Anyway my computer's sick also... Or maybe i feel he is =/ Its quite jialat... worse than virus. If its virus still ok, cus i have my trusty kaspersky anti virus =D
Those flashes of black screen are occuring even when im like surfing the net and watching shows... I also realised i cant play any games besides flash ones and mayb l4d which i havent tried after patching to .13...
I have come to conclude that the cause of the black screen may be due to one or more of these reasons:
Disassemble laptop, clean and inspect everything
Pros: Fan can be cleaned, inside of laptop can be cleaned.
Cons: Very complicated process, may cause more problems if reassembled wrongly.
Moreover, if the fault lies in the gfx chip, it may go undetected
Format C:/
Pros: Highest possibility of solving current state.
Cons: Whole day wasted if current state remains unchanged. Will be using friendly version instead of non friendly.
Get a new com
Pros: ALOT
Cons: Cost (Which will be approx. 1.5k including monitor)
Might not be able to last for various reasons, these include windows 7, usb 3.0, sata 6++.
More will be said on the possible specs the next post.

- Gfx chip not functioning properly (May be pins shorted by dust/Heat issues/Due to aging)
- Driver corrupted (I have uninstalled and reinstalled countless times)
- Some other program that games/engines run on (e.g .NET Framework/C++ 2008) being corrupt

Updateee!!!
Worked at OCC on Wednesday (29th April 2009)
Worked withe ken and dexter...The event was damn big la... At first saw May Day Dinner... tot is organized by the country club so small event... In the end all the big shot got go like lhl, wks+++ and they actually call each other brother...
I was quite surprised tho, that 90% of the servers there are aunties in their 50s+++. They only know how to speak hokkien and abit of chinese =S. Then there was this drink server aunty, prolly my table the drink server, who was on hearing aid on both ears, and she couldn't speak properly summore. Quite pity her... Altho was abit dulan that my table and my partner the aunty table no drink server, dono is her fault anot... Then she was like super kan cheong... starting keep asking me to put the napkin on the guests... Then was like damn protective of her round tray, like only she can use it =/
Employing peasants to work for elites...
Overall i felt that my partner aunty and I did quite a good job, hahaha. She also first time working at OCC then i ask her thing she also dono... Then slowly get used to it lor.
Also chatted quite a bit with this girl that was the half deaf aunty's partner.. she was doing this type of f&b service line job for the 1st time so abit blur, then the aunty keep scolding her =/
I also dono y i nvr ask her number =S
Anyway when it was over we waited till 11pm zhun (Cus of the manager who kept us in until 11pm) then faster sign out and chiong for the shuttle bus... The girl and her friens nvr follow us... =( then in the end we took the last train to marina bay and changed to ew line =)
Overall i feel its more slack than wedding... Summore they screw up sia... At 1 point of time, ask us stop service then after awhile tell us go... then say stop again... then i was clearing the bowls ma, not very nice to clear abit then stop so i continued clearing then got this in charge pull me tell me stop... Then the next thing i know the half deaf aunty crash onto me... then make me drop 1 bowl... Heng the floor is carpeted... so nvr break :D

Then he 10+ call say he done with some model interview... So that day went to the cathay and GV PS to look for job. After writing the form at PS, recruit sexpress tampines called dexter saying got banquet job next wed at orchid country club for the 3 of us... So we said yes.
Next day (Tues)
GV called dex for an interview on wed, changed adapter for mio modem and went to ps with zule korkor and alvin meimei to watch movie and eat at astons (2nd day in a row)
Today (Wed)
Went for interview, screwed up... Not the interview, but the dates that im avaliable =/ now hopin that they don call me to work so fast..
Basically the past 3 days i have been going down to plaza sing =/
I also find it amazing how suddenly all the job offers come on monday... like RE actually started recruiting only on that day, haha.

Revive!!!
Ok, long time no blog... got kinda lazy... this entry won't be in chronological order =)
First and foremost... my results aren't quite good...
Got:
A
A
A
B
C+
B is for human factors and C+ is for ACNS... Taught by chaganti whose tips buay zhun 1.
Ok,i guess many of u know i went to taiwan... most of the pics are in fb. im lazy to upload here summore only can upload 5 at a time, damn lame.
Enjoyed myself quite abit there, dont mind goin again...
Today went to work at some factory for 4 hrs for 5.50 an hour... haha, was quite slack. push 1 trolley and throw items into their respective boxes located all over the warehouse...
These few days been facebooking because my WC3 dosent want to work. After the exams where i have been abstaining from wc3 for like 3 months, the game come out all the funny business. When i start/after playing for awhile (5 mins) either the screen turns black for about 10 sec and reverts back to the game or my whole monitor goes off and i am forced to do a shutdown by pressing the power button. The thing is that i am using a laptop, so it cant be the monitor connection to the gfx card and it only occurs in wc3. I can play l4d fine and my com can even on for like 3 days without any problems. Sometimes the whole com would hang... dono wtf is wrong, feel it has sth to do with my gfx card/driver/refresh rate/frame rate or sth.
I have already tried reinstalling my graphics card driver, reinstalling wc3, cleaning registry, scanning for viruses, disabling anti virus, running in opengl mode. Disabling my firewall would give a bsod...Only thing i haven't tried is reformatting. ARGHH
So i have been playing mousehunt and egg breaker on facebook. Afew days ago, i started playing restaurant city, which is down now... So im bored like siao and decide to blog. haha
ok nothing much to say ler... cont another time. Maybe when i might make a taiwan post when i'm too bored. =)

1st day before visiting. Mother insisted that i wear formal cus its "new", haha
With mum
With dad

Wednesday:
Went to school then went for medicial checkup. Got PES A. The medic was like "Your hand so long already can one and tonsils is nothing la, you are PES A"...
Thursday:
Reunion with friends, watch the wedding game and ate steamboat at bugis. The movie was kinda crappy and the cinema at bugis totally sucks. Watch half way the projector shut down and the screen went blank, wtf... Dinner was quite O.K.
Friday:
Collected car, did a few stupid things. Sped in KPE tunnel, hope dont tio. Then reach bedok carpark then went to play with wrs manual car... drive halfway notice my car got dent.. then no mood liao... argh. Call the person who gave us the keys but he dont want answer. At last we call the company and tell them. Around 3+ then they call back say the dent is known and is not done by me.
Suppered at upper thomson... wanted to call joel go but wr and I were super tired. So had a quick one and went home.
Saturday:
Fetched KY's friends around for visiting, uber tiring day. Woke up at 9:30am visit whole day... From Sengkang to Bukit Panjang, and fetch everyone back... I reached home at 3am...
Major events that occured that day:
Monday:
FYP interview. Kinda crappy, the co-examiner Mr. Teo asked like how the robot works, explained to him in like 20sec and he say ok liao, enough... lol
Tuesday-Friday 5am:
Presented AAFES, prolly screwed up abit cus i was damn tired and nvr go thru the slides before. HF no need present cus not enough time. Nidda redo the report too. Played L4D with michelle until 3am, sleep
Saturday (Yesterday):
Went to NTU SPMS open house with Joel, Degree(Hons) in physics looks appealing. Met up with alvin and had seoul garden. Journeyed to eskibar to grab a drink before heading home.
Alvin and I got lost and instead of ending up at raffles place, we ended up running to chinatown station. I realised that drinking and then exercising gets you high even faster, lol.

FYP Debrief / Complain time
The past week:
Monday: SRG lab, then celeberate joel's birthday
Pics:
NYDC pic 1

Emo face Joel
Allowing Alvin to get what he wants
The default Happy Birthday Pic
Wishing with a knife in his hands... Killer instinct spotted =)
JQ Hazel Joel
KW, Me and Alvin with Joel
Weini and Camie with Joel
Earlier in school, Joel had two crashes on that day, one mounting a kerb near foodcourt one, causing one of the rear tyres to hang ontop of a drain, good thing it was a front wheel drive. Second was when he reversed into the carpark at T11. His bodykit scraped the kerb which was damn high.
After the dinner, Joel fetched kw,alvin and me home. Treated him fuel when he neared my house as his tank was almost empty. Thanks for the ride home Joel!!!
Tuesday: SRG lab
Wednesday: SRG Competition // This is where the complaining starts
Morning, reached SRG lab. As usual, JJ was late. Tested one time at lab wall, bot not able to complete.
So went to science centre, where JJ broke the news to me that his phone had no battery, so dont call him. The irritating thing was that he brought the charger but tell me that its "Xia Sway" to charge his phone there. Asking him to elaborate what "Xia Sway" means, he told me its sth like pai seh and stuff. The thing was my phone battery was low and i was telling him incase of emergency and we needed something we can call. However, his reply was about embarassment and personal preferance and stuff. The thing is that its no longer personal as it concerns me also. What if i needed him but cannot contact him???
While he was still being anal about charging his phone there, he asked me to remove a connector so that we can plug in the batteries. One of the wires to the connector then fell out and we needed a soldering iron, which we did not have at that time. So we used my low batt phone to contact another group to get a soldering iron.
Then im not sure for revenge or for some other reason, he became anal about me connecting the supply for the charger even though i am not using it. I explained to him that because it was on a multiplug, if i unplug sth, i may lose it and leave it there or sth. He still kept asking why until i told him "ARGH fuck, im not talking to you". After a moment of silence, he started singing some kiddy songs?
Ptb came and got a solder from his friend who was an ex sp lecturer who is in RP now. As JJ was soldering, he came and asked us who did the programming. I admitted to it and told him ptb didn't help us much. He then said that he could offer me a job as a tso in RP for $1700 as he is doing wall climbing robot next year.
Soon, my other classmates came for awhile, mainly to fetch leo's group to the science centre. JJ went to talk to them. While he was away, the caging started and i couldn't get him, as he had no phone -.- . So i carried alot of stuff to the corner when he finally realised what was going on and came over to help.
Soon, it was our robots turn to run, obviously it failed. Did a complete run on Sunday, the time was 03:53. The average timing for the robots for other polytechnics were like 50 seconds. In a nutshell, SP is a failure, at least in wall climbing robots. None of the six robots entered completed the course.
// Complaints start here
Spoke to the guy who sold us servo motors for my robot. He told me he had played all the games in the Singapore Robotic Games before. He was from Temesek Poly and opened his own shop when he graduated. Then he told me what was wrong with my robot.

Spoke to the guy who sold us servo motors for my robot. He told me he had played all the games in the Singapore Robotic Games before. He was from Temesek Poly and opened his own shop when he graduated. Then he told me what was wrong with my robot.
- It is too heavy
- We are not utilizing the strength of the metal properly
- The robots weight and size will be halved if we take time to plan some weight saving techniques
- Only one motor should be coupled per leg, to prevent mechanical errors
- Compared to the robot from other schools, ours is very very very heavy and over-designed.
Human factors
- Start of project, girls hinder my progress to work efficiently
- Lack of proper tools in lab
- Girls mess up stuff: borrow and not returned, stuff throwed everywhere (Like today there was an empty fascini scoox packet on my table and the sugar was all over my table.)
- Tools go missing due to borrowing
- Lab not very organised
- Lack of space
- Girls like to occupy the wall: hinder robot testing
- Motherboard used hard to program
- Compiler for motherboard is sucky, hangs randomly, not user friendly (Not even able to use mouse wheel to scroll up and down)
- Motherboard used not user friendly, to put the program into the permanent flash memory I have to download it, remove jumper, disconnect compiler, open hyperterminal, on mcu, send command, off mcu, replace jumper, disconnect hyperterminal, on mcu. To revert to flash mode, I have to off mcu, remove jumper, on mcu, connect hyperterminal, send command, off mcu, replace jumper, on mcu.
- Too many motors used for robot. People use 2x DC motors while i am using 9x SERVO motors. This results in more demanding programming, risk of mechanical error (motors turning against each other) and more current drawn, leading to more heat, hence overheating the motors, RAPIDLY.
- Excess of 5x2 valves used, placed there, for nothing
- No datasheet provided on how the valves work, I had to find one myself
- Valves used wrongly on last year's program
- Last years program had to be totally re-written, only 2 functions kept
- No proper instructions on how to operate each microcontroller board given
- Especially for the Tern motherboard, where the manual was a piece of crap
- Had to resort to signing up for the yahoo group to ask questions where the answer was also crap
- Was not told that during the actualy competition there would not be any tape on the wall, as the one in our lab had to mark the starting and finishing positions
- No distinction???
- Everything is last miniute. Demo in a few days then tell me that I must do a demo, no proper/clear instructions
- Empty promises, multiple times. e.g promised to write out program algorithm for me but never recieved any
- Advise given only 10% useful, and we probably tried it already
- Poor organization, little leadership shown. Not someone I would want to look up to.
Statements:
- If only i had a more enthuisatic teammate, but JJ seems average with some pushing
- If only i had a TSO to guide me...
Questions:
- What would happen if I had not taken this project?
- What would happen if I had just enjoyed and not bother about the project?
- Would I have not wasted all my holidays?
- Would I have accompished something greater?
- Is doing nothing yet getting qualified for it the norm in this world?
- Is my supervisor caring? -> Only to a certain extent.
- Will I benefit from what I learnt from this project?
- Will I lookback and regret taking up this project?
- Or will I be glad that I slogged like hell and get something no one knows to work where no one will apperciate the amount of effort I put in.

Post Spinnovex
Finally have the time to update, sorry for the wait =)
WARNING: Uber long post
Spinnovex Day 1:
Met joel at redhill, he then drove me to school. He was kinda unsure of the way so we went to follow the mrt track. Then at north buoena vista road, joel decided to turn left and we ended up making a big round to school.
Parked infront of W12 (SRG Lab). We went to our respective venues and met up fifteen minutes later at the opening ceremony.
Before the opening ceremony, tieing my tie. I like this pic =)
Concert before the opening ceremony
Went for the opening ceremony with alvin, ka wei viknesh, jerome, joel and samuel. Was quite boring, the only thing we found interesting was when the boss of the singapore science centre made a speech which was also printed inside the spinnovex booklet handed out to us under "A Message by bla bla bla from the singapore science centre."
After the opening ceremony, samuel and I went back to our srg lab to nua and continue with our robots. Lunch quickly arrived. JJ went to eat with the others while i waited for joel and jerome to eat. The two of them arrived and Joel drove to the gate below dover mrt to pick up alvin and ka wei. We then switched places and I drove them to mac. Damn addicted to his mazda 3. Although the fuel consumption is not very low, the sound of the engine and the accleration was damn shiok.
Ate mac with joel and jerome while kw and alvin walked back after they took away theirs. Joel then drove back where he made a damn zai parking.
Parking situation
Joel and his mazda 3
Time passed and the first day of spinnovex came to an end. Nothing much happened in our lab, no one came to visit and stuff. Met up with joel, kw and alvin and we decided to go to holland villiage to have our dinner. However, joel kept missing the numerous parking lots that were along holland villiage.
I then suggested going 1 round by turning left three times but it resulted in Joel turning two times and being afraid about getting lost. hahaha. Walked a long way to holland V to see like there was nth to eat.
So we walked back to the car which was like 1km away and drove to depot road's botak jones to have our dinner.
Joel then kindly fetched us to tiong barhu mrt. While he was trying to turn out, he kinda got stuck and kena horn, haha. He was blocking the first lane.
View of his mazda 3 from the inside
Blocking the first lane
Overall, i would like to comment that joel is one of the slower and safer drivers i know and ever since i drove his mazda 3, i have been speeding.
Spinnovex Day 2:
Nothing much happened during day 2, continued doing my robot. This was when the robot cut my hand =(
Thats pretty much all as the people in tentage(Joel, Alvin, KW and others) had dinner. So i basically worked on my robot the whole day and go home.
Spinnovex Day 3:
Day 3, also the last day of spinnovex started out boring. I was tired and had no mood to program. JJ used the laptop to dota while i stoned and feel damn sian, like never accomplish anything. At around 5 went to tentage to meet the class for the closing ceremony. Soon everyone arrived and we took some pictures.
First almost complete class pic:
Then Joel got poked(notice the face)
Me caught offguard
Ben, Me, Shuai Quan.
Helped Alvin's group move their project to their project lab.
Returning the trolleys after moving
Then the closing ceremony started.
In the convention centre where the closing ceremony was held.
Was quite disappointed as the other wall climbing group which did very little won an award. Their supervisor does all the programming while they basically sit and stare at the screen. Alvin was also disappointed as their group had got a silver award along with a group that did a catapult for launching styrofoam planes which had also got into the main tent.
Projects in the main tent are kinda classified as a featured project or hilighted as they call it. They are supposed to be outstanding and a huge amount of hard work is supposed to be put into it. I should have done a catapult for styrofoam boats/cars and get in as a hilighted project also.
After the closing ceremony, we went for the free buffet where i chionged the food and drink until quite full.
Grabbing a bowl for a helping of cheng teng in the cooler boxes. Notice my plate =)
Then i realised KW was taking pictures
Joel's glasses, haha
On the way to the MRT after a long day.
Joel, Alvin, KW and I then headed to ps Starbucks to chill until late after which we went home to have a good rest.
Overall, Spinnovex was a boring experience for me, but not for those in the main tent. How I wish i were there. The bright side is i made some new friends =)

Overall, i would like to comment that joel is one of the slower and safer drivers i know and ever since i drove his mazda 3, i have been speeding.
Spinnovex Day 2:
Nothing much happened during day 2, continued doing my robot. This was when the robot cut my hand =(
Thats pretty much all as the people in tentage(Joel, Alvin, KW and others) had dinner. So i basically worked on my robot the whole day and go home.
Spinnovex Day 3:
Day 3, also the last day of spinnovex started out boring. I was tired and had no mood to program. JJ used the laptop to dota while i stoned and feel damn sian, like never accomplish anything. At around 5 went to tentage to meet the class for the closing ceremony. Soon everyone arrived and we took some pictures.
First almost complete class pic:
Then Joel got poked(notice the face)
Me caught offguard
Ben, Me, Shuai Quan.
Helped Alvin's group move their project to their project lab.
Returning the trolleys after moving
Then the closing ceremony started.
In the convention centre where the closing ceremony was held.
Was quite disappointed as the other wall climbing group which did very little won an award. Their supervisor does all the programming while they basically sit and stare at the screen. Alvin was also disappointed as their group had got a silver award along with a group that did a catapult for launching styrofoam planes which had also got into the main tent.
Projects in the main tent are kinda classified as a featured project or hilighted as they call it. They are supposed to be outstanding and a huge amount of hard work is supposed to be put into it. I should have done a catapult for styrofoam boats/cars and get in as a hilighted project also.
After the closing ceremony, we went for the free buffet where i chionged the food and drink until quite full.
Grabbing a bowl for a helping of cheng teng in the cooler boxes. Notice my plate =)
Then i realised KW was taking pictures
Joel's glasses, haha
On the way to the MRT after a long day.
Joel, Alvin, KW and I then headed to ps Starbucks to chill until late after which we went home to have a good rest.
Overall, Spinnovex was a boring experience for me, but not for those in the main tent. How I wish i were there. The bright side is i made some new friends =)

Pre Spinnovex
Today was preparation for spinnovex. Panel come and assess us and stuff, thats all. Abit dissapointed that srg wcr can't go to the main tent and i have to be stuck in my lab next to the garbage dump, lol. Pls dont come visit me =X
Morning went walking around and had breakfast with kw, joel and jerome. Then went back to my lab to nua until 1+ where the panel came to assess us. I abit screwup, cus jj went for his darn medicial checkup and i had to run the robot alone. Abit nervous and took like 5 attempts to get it working.
Got a decent grade (I think/hope). Ptb gave quite high marks to all the groups, the higher ones being his own, lol.
Went to eat lunch with by, leo, vince, keng kwee and yao quan or sth (always forget his name). Went to find our friends at the main tent after that. Took some pics. I'm in formal attire!!! Very rare see de hor =)
I'm tall, Alvin doing -> =p
KW decide to sleep, and Alvin pushed me down to his height
REVENGE WAHAHA!!!
Walked around while joels group got interviewed. Saw alot of projects in various venues. Ended up in SRG where i showed them my robot and how cui it is. They also saw my compiler error. Keeps popping out like free. I like need to save after writing every line.
Note: I need to press "Don't Send" for about 5 times before the bloody thing decides to close.
When joel was done, we went to eat pizza, some student meal. Then watched bedtime stories at GV and went home.
Then, at night, when i reach home, my friends decided to spam facebook.
