Finally FLL's over...
first of all i would like to congratulate EXTERNAL FUSION from Singapore Chinese Girls School for winning the Champion award =D i would also like to congratulate the teams E=JRsquare and E=JRcube from Jurong who won two of the research award, Jedi Black and Jedi White for winning several awards which include the BEST ROBOT PERFORMANCE(can't remember the rest, sry) and finally Moderation from my school for winning Gracious Professionalism (although they didn't know how they won that =P).
This year the whole FLL preparation period was a blast. there many up's and down's but we still managed to to pull it through and before i forget, i would also like to
THANK my group members Wei Sheng, Qi en and Justin for making this FLL a memorable one. the times we had together were more precious then the end result. Before i forget i would also like to thank these two special people who have volunteered to help out in my group's research - Melissa and Cheng Yu. They have spared their whole holidays and came to school for CCA, THANK YOU! I would also like to say a big thank you to all who have helped in one way or another, couldn't have done without you all. though we did not win anything, but fear not WE'LL BE BACK! WE WON'T CRASH EVER!
The entire Fll preparation was mostly at school while training at weekends was mostly in Juying. well i can't remember really remember what happened in the two months but its really an unforgettable experience =D. What i still could remember was the last few days before FLL. last friday after the usual training at RV, we went to juying to make the final preparations. The number of boxes we had to bring were just so many, 10 of it!!! WOAH like moving house liddat! LOL! But with the help of several people we managed to "transport" the boxes to Juying. then begun the final preparations. Nothing much here but just training training and more training. stayed till three plus that day before going back home to recharge my battery. The next day was very tiring, woke up at eight and went to juying at ten plus. then it was still just training training and more training. you may ask won't wee get bored of it, well working on it everyday for the past two months and still am working on it? i do not know about the rest but completing the mission just makes me feel complete. stayed up the entire night that day before going back home to bath and of to FLL! YAY!
I was like totally making a fool of myself during FLL with those cheers and clapping and the unusual me would do. But isn't that FLL? its supposed to be FUN! halfway in the competition i decided to wear the bandanda. it was pretty hot at first but soon got used to it. i realised that every FLL i always had to wear something on my head. a little recap. in 2006 i remember wearing the hat that the team made for me, in 2007 i wore another cap and this year, its a bandana! Hm... what am i going to wear next year? Nevermind lets get back . We then went through the presentations and robot rounds though not very prepared for it, but we still made it through. Towards the end was pretty kind of boring to me, maybe cause my energy was depleted. after FLL we went to eat our dinner. we went to pastamania at bugis junction treated everyone there to pizza. in case u all didn't know, that treat was to thank you all for giving me the phone =D. went back home after that, at 10 plus while using the com, something happened to me... you wouldn't believe me, i time travelled it was suddenly the next morning 5am. well i was proberly knocked out, tired from the past few days and in case you didn't know, i only slept for 4 hours for the past three days, being totally knocked out was nothing surprising... went to school after that...
Being in school feels totally weird to me. maybe because the competition's over, suddenly feel damn free. nothing to motivate me for the rest of the day. slept for half of the day in lessons today but never got caught though...
if there was something that could motivate me for the rest of the year to go through school, it would be bonding with the people in the club. we're just like one big family, going out with each other, caring for each other, doing illegal stuff together ;D growing up together... the list's simply inexhaustable. there's no telling to what we'll do when we're together...
I LOVE RVCC!!!
