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...

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.

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.

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...

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~!!

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!!!
