The Flying Tap Fountain!!

Now a good look at the fountain!



The flying tap!

The even larger fountain!!

Our glamorous names!!

The alien's... =D

The lights...

Day time view...

Night time view...

Our masterpiece~!!

It's a wonder to me how I managed to stand not having to go home for one whole week. It's the project that kept me going on and not think and long for the comfort of my dear bed. It wasn't bad at all that my first ever stayover at a friend's house is because of rushing for a project. At least there is something to occupy my time (however unexpectedly too much work! haha~)

I believe that out of all the projects, our group faced the most problems. Somehow our design was much more complicated than others. And we had HUGE components to join up.

And guess how much the whole thing cost?

RM 1 K!!!

It would have cost much more if not for the free coconut shells and the sponsored wood planks. Though we would have saved a bit for some unused stuff. So planning of budget and materials is very important.

And of course. No regrets to group with friends mostly whom I know only for a semester. It seems everyone is there for a specific job. (not sure about myself though..=P ). And realised that some people can be a lot different than the person we know they are... Haha! Funnier.. cutier.. hehe... And I guess some people wouldn't be able to survive in my house... where there is a lack of... mirrors!!! Akakakaa~

But anyway, a great hug of thanks to my group members who made the day. For their brains and skills. And for their tolerance with my blurness!

And huge thanks to TS, Zack and WJ for helping out.

And of course, thanks to the lecturer for his kindness to extend the period of the project.

And no matter How much I like to spend my time with friends, home is the best place to be. ;)

Tiff, Hau Hua, Kyf, Lana, Heng!

Engineering Design Final Project - [The Progress]

The project that halved our holiday to 1 week... A whole month of physical and mental torture!
That was why I disappeared from the cyber world for so long, not becuase i went to another planet... (my spaceship is under maintenance~)
The next few days would be spent with Tiff, Heng, Lana and Hau Hua.

WEDNESDAY 22/08/07
Right after the final paper on Wednesday, we head to The Curve for lunch-cum-high-tea meal... with a special blueberry pizza~ the taste was quite good actually..haha!

Later at night we gave a 'surprise' (which didn't seem quite surprising actually) and again a Secret Recipe cake...

Before...

...After
[Disaster~!!!]

Heng, TS, Zack, Phoenix, Lana and Kyf

Later spent the last few hours of the day at Lana's house, which was quite a nice, kampung-ish place that made me 'kampung-sick'...

After midnight, we head to Heng's house, where we would be spending the week rushing our project work. TS and Zack came along to distract us by watching movies on Heng's pc...haha~

(Joking yea...) They helped us a lot in our work. ;) Before this, we were piah-ing with the coconut shells, cutting, grinding, smoothening...

The grinding caused a lot of dust. just take a look at my mask which I wore during the process...

Everything...everywhere...

The two coconut-shell domes were completed only on Thursday (with the fear of having to cut more pieces), a process which took the most time and sacrifices (sacrificing Tiff's Fundamentals paper... aiks). The worst thing is we had to HIRE someone to cut the coconut shells!! And I'm still not so satisfied with his work...boo...

The huge dome... very nice =D

[Somehow people who pass by will stare at it, touch it, then say "This is nice~"!

I like that...haha!]

After that came the wood planks which needed smoothening and mending coz they were taken from a contruction site.

Besides all the tough work, Tiff gotta rush the paperwork.

and discussions...

[Taken during 7-15 of the lunar calendar~!!! ahaha]

And more designs...and 'toys'...

holder??!

MONDAY, 27/08/07

We only brought all our work to the campus this day, the original due date of the project. And WE WERE the last group to set up our project there, while some others have already finished theirs! It's a fortune that we get extension of the due date, since we only get to finish THE BASE of our design on that day.

work work work...

Our dear base

A mess of the library front area

Managed to finish the walk-thru and first-layer painting before 12 AM the same day. Whew~

TUESDAY 28/08/07

The pressure to meet the deadline deepened. Tons of problems came; the motor, the piping, the wiring, the lighting, the landscape design, ...

All the while seeing the lecturer come and go to check on the projects of other groups which were mostly completed. One of the group projects looked ordinary, but they have a VIP...

Scorpion!

But of course, ours looked better...hehe~

husking~

Tiff really scares me :X

... upon completion!!

Tiff initiated the recycling spirit where she got some 'unused' (or rather rubbish?!!) stuff leftover by other groups to decorate our work!! Ahaha... the 'privilege' of working til the last minute~

And the grand scene at night~!!

The tired plus glad-it's-finished look...

WEDNESDAY 29/08/07

A whole week since we were stuck with the project.

Should be finished by now (the deadline was over...), gave a last touching to the thing, correcting the waterflow.

Helpless laugh?!!

The waterflow gave us some nice final trouble.

And finally... IT'S DONE!!!

对不起

Unfortunately, and very unwllingly, this has become a reflex action.

不是我不想改过。可是你知道吗? 你不曾给我机会，给我空间。


我已经麻木了。

Oo0~

fffiiiinnnaaallllyyyy......................

New PC!!!
All the way from Kedah! Haha...

Spent time fixing everything up, and find that we reali need something... huge monitor!
Coz the display now is too SMALL~

And still some problem with the damn network...
But just discovered some dramas here! Yahoo~~ but only able to enjoy after the project.

人的耐心是有限的

... 你可别太过分了。

雪上加霜

考试时节头昏昏, 班上同学欲断魂…

考试来临, 花了很多时间, 少了人手, 似乎赶不完.
伤到自己，‘锯’ 到手, 没关系，只要有进展，可以考试，就好。

~也许我付出的并不多，至少我尽力了…~

偏偏期待已久的活动都落在这 ‘生死期’ 内。就是羽毛球世界金表锦标赛啦! 真气, 没得到现场支持就算了, 现在又没得看球赛…
再来就是宇中德签唱会! 不知组长会否 ‘放人’ 呢?

而总是在这种关键时刻，那些讨人厌的事情有发生了。
突然全世界打起丈来了。
为何非得为了一些小事而伤了感情呢?
为何非得为了一些事，把别人逼得无路可走呢?

~太过于容忍，最终添着自己的伤口…~

“当我提起勇气要面对他时, 他却让我打退堂鼓…”


是我敏感, 还是自己小气, 去找do东西气自己。然而, 生气是有理由的。
我只是在做我该做的事, 你合作一点就行了，何必如此回复我呢?
我认识你不久，更不是你的死党, 我不了解你办事方式，你懂吗?
你可以不理我，但也别让我组足事，好吗?

“我要个确定的答案，因为你让我感觉很不确实。”

朋友，别为了自己的利益，而乱了别人的脚步。　


这阵子, 发觉说话.. 变得很难。所发生的事情，人家给的评语… 不是不能接受，是让我j接下来的开不了口… [说外星语，可以吗?]

“我不是不想说话，我是不敢说话，甚至是不知该怎么开口…”
唉，透不过气。

如果现在有什么人，能够让我轻松对话我会很感激的…

a short conclusion

Nearing the end of my first semester in degree course, I've realised the numerous changes in my life.

Realised the hecticness life could be in degree course.
Realised how much I have to catch up with in the most basic courses.
Realised my incapibility of dealing with so much stuff.
Realised that I have to put in a lot more hard work.
Realised that hard work isn't enough. It should come with brains.
Realised that so many people around me are so much more smarter than me.

Found that I have a lot to sacrifice.
Sleeping time. Waking up at 5.40am almost everyday, I have less than average 6-hour sleep per day. Well, the fact that I NEED and LOVE to sleep~ haha!
TV time. Similar to secodary school days, never really watch any dramas.
Time with family. I realised I usually talk to dad in the car, not in the living room like before.
Home-cooked meals. Weekdays' lunch are almost always at the cafeteria, which sucks.

Realised that University life can be hectic, but enjoyable as well.
Realised how time spent with the new friends can be so different compared to old friends.
Realised that mixing with guys can be quite easy, and fun of course.
Realised that I do enjoy hanging out with them.
Realised how friends can come in helpful, especially psychologically...
Realised how simple things can get complicated in a gang.
Realised that I'm still very conservative.
Realised how much I need my best friend and How I misses her...

Met various people of 'all races and types'.
The gang that I mix with in U, as described by a friend, is quite matured. Which I agree with, generally. Who knows...
That people from other batches and gangs are quite friendly as well.
That there are people who can share their love of music with me.
That some minority personalities can be way too friendly... which I cannot cope with.
That somehow it requires skills to reject people.

Realised that I might actually miss this campus when we move to the north wing...
And a different life again.

Realised that I don't regret giving up matriculation in government institute.
Although I still crave for the fun of co-curriculum activities in Public U.

Realised even more that I really suck in sports. Though I really love sports~ Kinda torturing for my friends huh..?
Realised that I am a real crazy fan of badminton! That I can chat non-stop about it with internet pals...
Realised that Rynn is my ultimate idol~!! Isn't he? Haha...
Realised that somehow some of my dreams can actually come true. Depends whether I want to grab the opportunity when it comes.

There are so many things happening around us, whether we like it or not.
Things can be hard or easy, depends on the way we view it. The attitude you handle things.
Accepting reality is so important. Coz it can change your life. And as well change the world.

Friends, take up the courage to face the world.

And of course, ENJOY LIFE~!!

And btw, cupid hasn't spotted me yet. So guys, stop shooting your arrows at me~!!!
Very sien de leh...

P/S: To whoever I've in some way, unintentionally irritated or hurt you, I apologise for my behavior...
To my true friends, Thank you all very much...

Thank You so Much~!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, Mom & Dad~!!! Would consider that a belated birthday present!!
Muaxx muaxxx~~

My new Handphone!!! Yahoo~~!!

Reality

It's been a rather hectic week. 'Four-turned-three' tests all the way down the week, with ED project meetings in between, then attending the Awards Day where I appeared as a guest holding a huge book and a huge file of Lana's, and sleeping less and less with only 2-hour sleep right before circuit theory test. And the test, was all a mess. Everything was blur, from the beginning of the new lecturer's class, to the end of the test. Hope I won't flunk. On top of everything, feeling unwell all the way, diarhoea, vomit feeling...hah...

Think that wasn't enough, I joined the gang to PC Fair after that, my first time ever, hah. A non-pro and non-addict, it walking merely walking in a straight line, seeing less than 30% of the place, hehe... Didn't get to ask anything about my desktop in the end. Boo~

Whether it was my luck of being blur... on the way home, a guy, an uncle-looking person, asked for my help at the LRT station. Being aware of the reality of society, i tried my way to escape, though he was trying to convince me to lend him money. According to him, he wanted to return to Malacca, but his car was short of fuel. He even asked me if I had any friend going back to Malacca, so that he can follow back. Such a coincidence, that I did have such friend. But who's so stupid to pull others into the river...

I had to call my dad for help, in a way, pretending that I was asking for help for him. I wonder why I just didn't get away then. Blur gurl. But thank goodness, he didn't do anything funny.

Later on, walking back home, probably I was being too sensitive, I felt that a dark-skinned guy behidn me seemed to be stalking on me. Another escaping routine again. Walked a long way round the garden, so afraid of seeing him behind me again.

Went to Chonghwa today. Ended up having a sun-tan while watching the guys playing basketball on their own. Played badminton with Kathleen, something which we haven't done together for ages, or we never did, haha...

And coming up, calculus assignment to be completed, and a huge final project to be done. Yes, right before the final exam. It will be the similar case for other project-based courses...arghhh...
