NJRC camp
Posted Saturday, September 09, 2006 // 21:39
Never touch comp for almost a week. This post will be damn long so split into 3. Busy with NJRC. Talk about the 3 day camp in first. Monday report at 10am. Woke up at 8am and we met at Mc to have breakfast then walked to school together. Reached there, unload our stuffs. Briefing first then do our NJRC stuffs. After lunch time, Helen and Kelly stayed at the Tech-Hub to do the robot while the rest of us went to but materails for the booth-design. After that Roy and Jun Hao decided to stay so we went to their houses to collect their belongings and then return to school. Monday, do banner from 9pm after dinner till 2++am then me and Helen go rest in room while Jun Hao and Kelly stay in Tech-Hub to do robot. Helen and I slept till like almost 4am then we realised that Kelly is still in the Tech-Hub so we went down and company her but Miss Sum forced us to sleep. So we all went to sleep until 7:30am. From morning 8am till the next morning 7:30am, only 5 hours sleep like that. Ok, not too bad. last 2 days to NJRC, very very stress. Tuesday, almost half day used to make our team t-shirt. Actually Helen is suppose to wait for Mr Chng to help her with mission 2 robot while Jun Hao, Roy and I were suppose to do the team t-shirt. Kelly wanted to accompany her but she insisted to stay on. What can we do? Can't move a stubborn cow eh? So we made till like 5pm and went to do our banner, but we were asked to fall in and we were all scolded for being lethargic. No choice, forced to do robot. So we planned to do our booth in the night but in the end, our plan failed. When eating our dinner, we were called down by Mr Neo to do our entreprenuer thingy. However, our robot for mission 2 was not even built! Imagine, the night before the competition and the robot is not built. So I asked Helen to go up to bulid then I accompany her. So we went up. 2:15am at that time. We wanted to duplicate Aloysius one but in the end we duplicated Johnathan's. What make me most worried is when Johnathan said that he is going for a short nap till 3am. At 3am, he will wake up and program mission 2 for himself and also us. So he went to sleep. After that, when his alarm snooze at 3am, we already completed. The worst thing comes. HE IS SO DIFFICULT TO BE WAKEN UP! Really. So I went down to check things in the staff workroom where Roy, Jun Hao and Kelly were suppose to do the banner. When I reached there, I saw Roy sleeping like a log. I knew he slept very ver y very long time ago. Forget it. Jun Hao was also sleeping but not like a log. I tapped him and he woke up. Kelly was doing the banner alone. But she told me that Jun Hao did help her. The banner is almost ready so I asked Jun Hao to go up to the Tech-Hub help us wake John up so he went up. That time he quite awake le. Even Jian Li and the rest there helped us to wake John up but to no avail... No choice. Wait till the competition then he program at free time. So I asked Helen to practice mission 1. When practicing, something went wrong with the robot so we went to change the programming. But the tablet screen was fading off. Old problem. We cannot fixed it at the time and Helen became so frustrated. So I left Helen to fix it. I ask Jun Hao to follow me to the playfield to test out again. Maybe sometimes is luck so if this time suceed then Helen does not need to use the tablet to change programming. But when Helen came to the playfield, she say what you two so smart do yourself lar, I go and accompany Kelly. I was like uh, I don't the programming girl. Since she hack care, why should I care? Then I tried to practice mission 1 together with Jun Hao. After practicing, I do mission 2. I place John's robot in the mission 2 playfield that was 6cm filled with water. Very very risky. So me and Jun Hao went down wanting to call Helen to solve the problem together. But when I reached the staff workroom, I asked Jun Hao not to knock cos Mr Neo is sleeping too. So we opened the window and peeped in and tried to look for someone who is not sleeping to open the door. But to my dissapointment, Helen was actually sleeping. I understand that the rest can sleep because the banner is done. Helen, I really felt very dissapointed when I actually can see you sleeping when you know that your job is not completed. No choice, Jun Hao and I rebuilt the robot to make the motors higher at around 5am going 6am. But not stable and the gear ratio don match so I was like forget it, built back the original... It is going to 6am and we have not taken a bath yet. Pathetic yeah? So when it is around 6am+ I put the robots in a green box and went to call them up in the staff workroom. Went up to change into team t-shirt then assemble le. I really dunno what happen, after that two ppl not happy. Wha lao, this kind of situation no time to flare up or show your anger lar please!!! ARGH!!! I WAS SO PISSED OUT AND DEAD TIRED!!! YOU KNOW!!! FROM MORNING 7:30am WAKE UP UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING 6am I NEVER EVEN TAKE A SINGLE NAP OR ANYTHING! In the bus, I slept like a log. Really cannot take it. In the end, Mission 1 and 2 all 0. Say really lar, I really very heartache when we got 0 points. After that return to school. Got lectured and then Kelly and I were choosen for the Sprint race and Sumobot respectively. After we were briefed, all robotics members were suppose to pack the Tech-Hub. But Helen, Kelly and I ended up eating dinner and packing Lego till like 10pm+. Reached home, unpack camp belongings, bathe and get ready to sleep already 11am+. Out of the 3 full days 72 Hours, I only slept for 12 hours, plus the night before the first day of camp lar. Really shag like hell man.

Hi, my name is Samantha. I love travelling, reading and meeting people from different walks of life. This is a documentation of my life and my travel adventures. In a way, it is a homage to faded memories of mine. The memory span of a human being is short, hence the existence of these memoirs. Because fifty years down the road, I want to look back, smile to myself and say: "I've lived my life with no regrets."
