i won !!!

it has been a week since i last updated my blog. it has been an exhausting and tiring week.
i participated in a competition last thursday and won second place, it's a team work. my group will be representing UKM to national level, which will be held in USM this coming january. we had put loads of effort into this competition. i still remember that i had spent more than 20 hours in faculty 2 days before the competition. went to faculty as early as 5 a.m and left as late as 2 a.m. well, it's time well spent. God knows that we work extremely hard for this and let us won. the competition was called Chem-E-Car competition. we were to design a car of shoe-box size and design a chemical reaction to run the car. during the competition day, we were told to run our car at a specified distance and our car was to carry a specified load. so, the whole competition was about how good we were at controlling the car so that it could stop at the desired distance. we were given 2 chances to run our car. our 1st run was far more better than our second run. the 1st run stopped 2.36 m away from the desired distance while our 2nd run stopped 5.10 m away from the distance. the champion stopped 3 cm away from the specified distance. it was mere luck for them. during our test run for 2 days, we managed to control our car to stopped at the distance we set. luck were not on our side during the competition. anyway, we did get the 2nd place and going to national level soon. really thank God for everything. although there is a group member that i can't stand with, winning this competition makes what he did, nothing to me. i quarreled with him during the competition day, it was his fault but i was not patient enough as well. anyway, his opinions will be totally ignored by me in the future.

i really made my sister upset because i stay back till wee hours at faculty and she was worried about me. i couldn't abandon my group member and left. i have to admit that human has to sacrifice a part of his or her life to achieve something big in life. i actually shouted and jump scatteredly when i knew that my group won the 2nd place. i actually cried after our car's second run because i thought we would not win with such bad results. anyway, other groups were worse than us and we finally won.

i left all my assignments and projects undone and now i have to sacrifice my sleeping time to complete them. final exams are around the corner and i haven't prepared yet, even for one subject. i need to start applying for internships and prepare for presentations. really hate a busy life. anyway, i still manage to find some time to do some nonsense stuffs and relax my mind, body and soul (=.=)

my housemate gave me a youtube link just now and i really enjoyed watching it. i'll attach below



lee hom sang superbly good during the unplugged mini concert. he really felt the music when he sang those songs. his voice is so smooth and perfect. he knows what key to use in singing every words. it's such a perfect show. i love his unplug version more than his recorded version. i think words couldn't express how i felt after i listened to his songs, especially the 2nd song. my heart was melted by his beautiful voice. i really hope to go to one of his concerts. i salute him!!!
i must learn how to play guitar and play as well as he does.

will update my blog with photos from the competition soon.
