Rube Goldberg Project!! A.K.A. "Quackland Golf Resort"

Yeah!!! At last!! It worked!! We had a fluctuating success rate but it worked just perfectly at the end of the day!

Let 0 = failure and 1 = success

And this were the statistics.

01010101

Haha! Lucky the last one was a GREAT SUCCESS!! Lol. It was worth it. We used up so much of our time on the project. Sleepless nights. Gosh. Popped so many balloons! (which was fun) and yeah.. fell into deep frustration when it failed for a number of times.. Haha.

Anyway, take a look at the video!! (sorry the video is not upright)




More pictures here!! Take a look! But before that, something about Quackland. Our end task was suppose to be lighting up a bulb. It was deprived of some deco and I happened to have a rubber ducky with me.

So, the rubber ducky ended up being lighted up! Lol. Its kinda cute anyway. And yeah, me and my friend Alfie stayed wake throughout the night and at around 500 a.m. we were discussing for a project name and in the end we decided the ducky as our mascot! That is how we got the name "Quackland Golf Resort." Hehe..


Woohoo!! That's our ducky!!
















If you take a closer look, the long road is labelled Quackland Highway. Lol. This is the result of not getting enough sleep.










Credits to Shang Khoon for the "potential energy car." Hehe..











One of our best steps!! The blue liquid is "Formula X." According to Alfie, it is edible but not tasty.












We scribbled everywhere! Hehe.. I like this magnet powered step as well..










Wanna party?? Let's pop the balloon!! Hehe.. Many people got scared when the balloon popped suddenly. Lol.

Let's Meet In Heaven

This is an unexpected poem! It doesn't have a meaning. Really. Made it for the sake of supporting my friend's thesis. Hehe..



Let's Meet in Heaven

Fragments of our missing dream
Pieces from here and there
Fall in place along the line
Disappearing between you and me
Life seems so stagnant

People contain themselves in a prison of mind
Giving it a name; culture they say
Born in forms
Of indestructable laws and norms
Not letting it to adapt to change
My desires and needs nailed
I tried but failed

Don't they understand?
That my love has no boundaries
Race is not a matter
What more can I do?
I'm shattered into pieces
My love was tender and true
But in the end it doesn’t even matter

I'm pushed to my limits
I'm suffocating
I can't forget and let it go
If you love me, please dont do what I did
My last words to you my love..
I love you...
I'll meet you in heaven
Goodbye...

Busy!!

Sigh.. Really don't have much time to spend my time here blogging.. Exam is in 3 weeks time.. And final projects are reaching the deadlines..

So much work... So little time...

I'm into penguins!!

Haha! All of a sudden I fell head over heels in love with penguins. They are my official mascots now! They are very far relatives of ducks.

Take a look at this article I found!!

MORGANTOWN, WV (IWR News Satire) - President George W. Bush was attacked by flock of angry penguins following his Independence Day message on climate change while visiting West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia, July 4, 2005.

The penguins, which were part of a promotion for the March of the Penguins movie, attacked Bush after he said that he would not support a Kyoto style agreement on global warming.

Although Mr. Bush acknowledged that some of global warming was caused by human activity, he blamed the majority of the problem on "smelly, dirty animals like penguins, sea otters and capybaras".

Mr. Bush, who is known to have a severe bird phobia since childhood, fainted and then regained consciousness later after being treated with smelling salts.

Bush was then carried off on stretcher while sobbing and asking for his teddy bear until he was sped off in an ambulance.

CARTOONS UNANIMATED!!

The Underwear

What's so special about underwears? Well, let me tell you. Today I found out that mine can fly...

It was hanging right by the window and when I went to it, it jumped off from the 19th-storey. And it escaped the jump unharmed.

It was a red underwear. My favourite colour.

Happy!!! I'm SO Happy!!

Hahaha!! Such a long long time!! It has been such a long long time since I last felt such happiness! I had longed for this so much more than anything else... I had once sacrificed my identity to save myself from a dreadful situation. I paid the price worthy of myself to save my life. I succeeded, though I lost the "me" in me.

From the tiny sparks that I saw today, it enlightened me and brought my flame back. Though not wholesome, a pinch of it would do for me. I'm very very happy!!! Haha! I know its a very confusing post to many but its relevant to me!

Hamlet Assignment!

We did this funny assignment last week that we had to put on props and costumes for the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Then, we took around 20 pics of us "acting" the play and present it to the class with some explanation on the significance of the freeze frames.

It was kinda fun as we used whatever we can get around us for props and costumes!! Wanna look at the results?? Here are some pics! LOL.






Haha! That crown is from Burger King!











Yep!! I'm acting as the ghost (it was supposed to be a ghost wearing armor).









I like this pic because of the lighting effects and the dark mood!











OK. OK. Don't laugh. I look extremely silly with that beard. (That's cotton! They stuck it on my cheek and chin with double-sided tape! OUCH!)












Hehe.. Here comes the ghost again!! (I'm fully wrapped with aluminium foil).




THIS IS THE MAKING OF HAMLET!!

(Got some funny pics to put under this section. But... Sob... I lost my pendrive that had all the pics... Will get the pics the next day from my friends! So wait and look out for the update!)



One of the most ridiculous picture of me... (proud to say that). That's a bowl on my head. Hey! my beard is coming off!!












Hahaha. Random pic.


















Please don't laugh at me. It's a girl's shirt. And I hate the lines on them.

That Is So Sweet of You...

It was raining that day. Cold... I made my way into the air-conditioned classroom. Feeling colder, I shrinked the two frames of my shoulder to keep me warm. My eyes darted around the room searching for a familiar figure. Yes, it was her that I was looking for. I wondered how she is surviving the cold.

Yonder, I saw her in bright red. One arm on the other, sitting close to the wall. She has sensitive smooth skin, as light as cream. I watched her laughing jovially with her friends. Once, my eyes could not look away, glued to her pose and she caught me stealing a glimpse of her. In return, she gave me a pleasing smile.

I was contented with her reaction and smiled away, fancying myself sitting side by side with her. "Never mind now, one day I will sit with her and then I'll be the happiest person in the world. At least that's what I'd like to think," I told myself. Soon, the class commenced and I busied myself with work. From time to time, I took stealthy glances at her.

I noticed that her cheeks looked so pale and bloodless. It must be because of the chilly air. How I wished that I could rub my hands against hers to warm her up. "Sigh... What to do? I could just wish and let time to take its course. But its not so bad isn't it? Imagination is as evident as reality to me," I thought as I beckoned to my heart.

Shortly, class ended and the crowd of students dispersed. I waited for her when I came to the stairs, hoping to have a few words. She stayed back for a few minutes to ask some questions from our teacher and I waited still, my back leaning lazily against the wall and my thoughts lingered without a proper direction.

Before long, I heard her footsteps down the stairs. She saw me and stopped by my side, smiling sheepishly.

"You were waiting for me?"

"Yup!"

"Anything to say?"

"Nothing to say, just something to share..."

"Hmm... What is it?"

"Make a wild guess!"

"Come on... You know how lazy I am to think... Tell me! Tell me! I'm eager to know. What is it?"

At that instant, I reached out to her right hand and held it in both of mine, gently. Her tender hand was icy cold that I could feel the frost. I kept it for a few seconds in my grasp. As I let her hand slip, I said :

"Warmth, love and a place in my heart..."

"That is so sweet of you... I have no words to say..."

"I know you were cold. I can tell it from your face. You look weather-beaten and white. Just
wanted to add some colour in it. Care to give me a smile?"

"I'll give you a thousand if I can. Thank you... You really touched me..."

"I should thank you for that lovely smile of yours. It makes my day. Anyway, we should go.
Goodbye."

"Goodnight."
