FLL 2008 // 11012009
Wow, FLL 2008 was over alr, in a flash.
It didn't go as planned.
I just wanted to say a big SORRY to Gamma De, Wei Sheng, Justin, Jun Kang, and also Melissa and Cheng Yu.
They have spent their entire holidays on this volunteerily...
And yet I still screwed it up real badly.
I guess this had been totally screwed since the start of the day, 12 am onwards.
It was my fault for not planning well, and ppt wasn't even completed by 8 am.
Then Ser Ming was alr at NLB when we reached LOL... Then Mei En came after the ppts and runs were all over le HAHA. =P
Firstly we had Round 1, which the robot wasn't quite used to NLB yet...
Then it was Technical Ppt at 10 am, and I then realised that robo is my forte after all.
It seemed soo natural to be able to crap about robo.
Ended up ppt + Q&A lasted for 15 mins plus...
Perhaps I shouldn't be doing research at all, and let others join...After which we found out tt our Research Ppt is at noon, not 4 pm, and thr's only less than 2 hrs to do script. GAWRRRRR.
Round 2: It was quite well done, considering the difficulties of th mission this time round. =D
Research ppt at noon. CHOING.
The script was only completed 5-10 mins before we were supposed to present.
I'm soooo sorry ppl... =(
It was a flop. Totally flop.
Three judges, one fr NJRC (entrepreneur judge), one fr NEA, and another one tt looks familiar fr NJRC too.
Started off really good, since we did manage to captivate their attention, with the NEA guy going to send an email about
somebody's office and home aircon temp AHA.
Then it plummeted. Real screwed.
We had strayed off the point about Climate Connections, and the NJRC judge had more expectation of us instead
(RVHS students =X). And how we have to focus well on topic for further PWs. Then thr was the "wht was ur teacher doing when ur strayed off the point" kind of qns.
It sucks.
Everything was screwed.
And the NEA judge said some of our info was inaccurate
(esp when we are in the "Science stream"). Like WTFH, some of which were true alright?! And you didn't even explain which info were wrong yarr?
Th 3rd judge didn't say anything...wonder if it's a good or a bad thing.
Perhaps it's bad after all. =(
It ended after 20 mins in the room, perhaps they were giving us more time to present innovative soln yeah? But we did not.
12.21 pm. Came out of the room. Dead and drained.
Guess wht ended up after 2 months of long hard work was just gone. And it was screwed.
Sorry for screwing up the ppt, and ended up somewhat wasting ur time.
It could have been better. Much better.
It's all my fault.
Round 3 at 3 pm AHA. Though no full points, but yea, u've done ur best!!! =DD
Yeah, I understand that this year mission is tough, so I don't blame ur for the perf, since I would have done worst if i was doing robo...
Then it's somewhat alr.
Until GOH came at 6 plus, and watched Jedi Black and White do a demo run. Full points for both team. =)
Everyone got a gold medal YAY YAY! Since everyone was a winner. =D
It was fun, doing hi-5s to the judges and volunteers.
Then whn thr was traffic jam near the medal ppt thr...
And I was standing in front of the NJRC judge. =X
Awful mixed feelings.
The hi-5s kind of elevated my feelings a little...but not for long... =X
Prize ppt next.
Congrats to Zhi Jie, Raff, Ed and Li Zhen's team ModeratioN for winning the Gracious Professionalism Award ROFL =DD
Seems like Zhi Jie's luck hasn't run out too much yet HAHAHA! =P
Congrats to External Fusion fr SCGS for winning Champions' Award too!
Though we wanted it soooo much too... =(
We had our photos taken then, and also with our volunteers Hui Xian and Pei Shan (i think?) too. =D
Then we went to Bugis to eat dinner at almost 8 pm.
Jun Kang treated us to Pastamania. =DD Thanks JK!!! =)
We were split into two diff tables, then our table was quite quiet luh. Sighs. =X
Then we just went home tgt...ended up reaching home at 10.10 pm gosh. =X
--------
Now that FLL's over, school's sooo -empty-.
It's weird to write 12/1/2009 on worksheets, when we were all so busy preparing for 11/1/2009.
The feeling sucks. Esp when I write the 12th and instantly think abt wht happened on the 11th.
It seems that I'm still in FLL mood...my Firefox saved pages were on "Malaria in Indonesia" and "Dengue". =.=
It's over.
How I wish that time could go back...
and th end result won't end up like tt....
{ 7:31 pm }
