robopreneur : educator's symposium

long story... I shall type out the events in a chronological order, the way Mr Yong likes our physics files.



Don't read this if you hate grandmother stories. It's gonna be the grandmother of all my posts. I'm writing this for my team. (including hewei! well, you never know who reads your blog, do you?) Although I don't like toiling away at the NUS SRL very much, the thought that we most probably won't be going back anytime soon makes me sad. For now, we'll have to focus on



This post is for us to reminisce about everything we went through this week, lest we forget about our hilarious experiences. It's funny how 4 complete strangers came together for this project. And how good our team dynamics are! :D





Woke up in the morning to find my forearms dotted wildly with tiny bumps (which were not red. just looked normal) which made me bear resemblance to a patient with a STD. Freaked out for 10 seconds or so, and then proceeded with life. Maybe my skin is sensitive to Ambi's dusty exterior.



Lugged Ambi out of daddy's car as I stepped into school, focusing my eyes on the path ahead and dodging the curious gazes of everyone else. No, it's NOT my birthday.



Plopped Ambi gently down next to the class bench and sat next to her, turning on her switch with much trepidation to check if she was fine. Discovered (with great horror) that her head was stationary when she mouthed her pre-programmed phrases. Freak out (yet again) when I can't find the wire that leads to her head servo. Nicole, pea, jen, and shuhui come along and play with Ambi, offering their condolences. (remember? Ambi got paralysed...and it's all my fault) Ex-crush ignores Ambi, but who cares about him anyway, when Hewei will be with us soon to bring Ambi back to life? :D



After assembly, we carried Ambi down the canteen, walking by the cleaner uncle who enthusiastically asked us "你们要拿去丢掉的啊？".

(translation: Are you all gonna throw that thing away?)

I cursed him in my mind and mentally rolled my eyes, forcing a laugh.



Dr Lim took a picture of us with his dSLR, and commented that the "educated" word on her shirt was very dirty. -_- Sigh... Like hewei mentioned in his ppt, people who are much older than you don't take you seriously.



ok. You must be getting bored by this point, because I am. Let's skip to the exciting bits!





When we got to the AaHa! Room in Admiralty Secondary, I discovered that the laptop they were using there only has the old 2003 powerpoint installed. Our powerpoint was saved as .pptx, the 2007 ppt version. And I had to edit it.



CRAP! IT'S THE GAZILLIONTH TIME I FORGOT ABOUT THIS.



We frantically called our mentor (who still had a sore throat) to come down with his laptop, ASAP. At that moment, lutheng found out that Ambi's head servo wire came loose. And it was stuck in an inaccessible location. Sigh. I smsed this update to hewei, who promptly replied "Jus relax".



SIGH...

The 3 Princesses of Serendip

are none other than lutheng, jiangying, and yours truly.

*ecstatic wail*

BBI FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!

Just when we got over the loss of our place in the finals yesterday, we had the serendipity of receiving Mr William Tan's SMS today morning at 8.03am.

ahhh!!!!!!!!!

Hehe random post. I'm typing this in the fishtank at 8.30am while I pon PE (volleyball).
Actually I came here for the aircon. :P

Hmm technically I didn't pon it, since I went to get my attendance marked already. And I did go to play volleyball with the effervescent Nicole for a while. :D Or should I have said evil? She whacked the ball into shuhui's head. A moment later, one of her massive spherical projects sliced through the air, missing jingbin's cranium by an inch.

Nina... hahaha I shall not mention anything about you. ;D Take care of yourself and your *cough*!

(pun intended)

k shall get on with my mundane school life. bye to slacking. =)

sick in the head

Was down with food poisoning since Monday night. The nausea/stomach hyperacidity/general sian-ness persisted till Tuesday afternoon.

bleaurgh.

All my grand mugging plans blighted by an unfortunate choice of dish for lunch on Monday.

Currently, I'm forcing myself to fight off the powerful drowsiness induced upon me by all that medication. My mind feels heavy and it's gravitating towards my bed.

Nooooo... resist bedroom gravitational field!

Resistance is futile...
if <1 ohm

and this is genius. haha

now you know.

What happened today morning was... unexpected.
It's not the most pleasant thing in the world to hand your (crikey!!) a present.
Mildly nerve-wrecking. And very telling indeed.
Oblivious as he may have been in the past, I'm sure what happened today has already elucidated the truth.
Way to go. (charges into wall, slumps into a lifeless heap)
Nevertheless, I'm still grateful for the arranged opportunity. HAHA!
And really. Thanks to Shu Hui for preparing everything!

I seriously doubt if the 'truth' on my part will be reciprocated in the future. You know how the truth can strike fear in us. (especially in sprinters. whahaaha) Anyway, I shall no longer pursue the matter even if this thing goes my way. Currently, I only have eyes for... the A levels, of course. (What were you thinking, you filthy-minded --- blog reader!) NO DISTRACTIONS!


Nina and I have shared much with each other over the long weekend. :) Sorry, can't share them here. But Nina's heartfelt words on Friday almost made me cry la. Never knew my sms would make you cry more. Hehe.
You will never know how much a simple act of kindness means to your friend.

Julia and I have had a pseudo-intellectual discussion about religion/politics/the AWARE organisation/homosexuality/terrorism over msn over 30 mins ago. Haha it's always great to have such discussions with you! =D Next shijia meeting ok! (:
You will never know all the right answers in life.

Jen can't wait to know what's going on! Patience, my friend!
You will never know what's going on until this Wednesday!

hee. :D
