Lake District

You are hereby warned.. I am gona post LOADS of photos in this post. Finally, after gathering in all the photos from every camera snapping lunatic present on the day of SingSoc's Lake District Trip, I have a mind boggling total of ... 600++ photos!!! What a glut of digital images. Hehe. No worries, I've tried my best to sift through the rubble and came up with these gems. Be glad you've being served the jewels of our trip on a brightly lit screen called your computer's screen. :P For the bored souls still reading on, here are the pics:
p.s. for those who still dunno (duhz) you can click on the pics for a somewhat larger view.

READ THE SIGN: No Camping!!!








That's it! A totally enjoyable day out in the woods and taking in the beauty of nature. Also helps that I've such an affinity to water. Lakes, rivers, oceans, waterfalls, etc etc. Did warn you about the large amount of pictures, didn't I ? ;)

Remember ...

this?

I am now so glad for the scraves and gloves I got from you guys for my b'day cum parting gifts. It's so bitterly cold here!!!

Isn't It Just...

I´m free but I´m focused

I´m green but I´m wise

I´m hard but I´m friendly baby

I´m sad but I´m laughin

I´m brave but I´m chicken shit

I´m sick but I´m pretty baby



...Ironic?

Thinking Tinker

Had a pretty interesting week in school and I know it's a monday, so this post is a little back-dated, but at least I'm making an effort to update everyone on what's happening here, ain't I? :) Basically, we had to dismantle an engine, identify each individual component, the material it's made out of, method it was made (die casting, sand casting, turning, forging, etc etc.) and reasons for materials and method of production. Really enjoyed this "hands-on" session. Here's the aftermath of the dismantling. :P



Piston with carbon steel piston rings attached to the connecting rod by the grudgeon pin. ;)



After we're done, assembly followed of course. This is wat the inside of a 4 stroke engine looks like with the cover off. Good thing it still works after my tinkering!




Also made a trip to the scenic Lake District on Saturday, but I won't be posting all the pictures presently. In the process of gathering them all in from the multitudes of cameras witnessed to be snapping away on site that day ;) Here's a little teaser from my own cam :

Murphy's Law

I admit it. I deserve it. I practically ASKED for it. I jinxed myself. No 2 ways about it. When you think something could go wrong, it most definitely will.

As has been the case for me this past week. There was another incident yesterday and today it happened again. I was just chatting with my fren how I must be careful or I'll break my only remaining pair of glasses and.. WHAM I broke it today while playing basketball. Got a very small scratch on my right eyelid, but it bled and bled and bled when I tried to wash it out. Still stings, the little bugger. A feisty scratch it is.

Am now half blind without any spare glasses. Sigh.... I do not like contacts... :(

I need...

... a rice/slow-cooker

... someone to keep me warm

... a printer


... peace of mind

... a hairdryer

... God's guidance

... pen and paper

... someone, somewhere to totally divulge myself

... a guitar to play

... to stop worrying for a whole day

... a personal iron

... my mother's cooking

... textbooks

... my brothers

... You

... you...

Houston, we have lift-off!!!

This baby may not look like much, but it is the result of our toll and toil for the past of the whole week! Designing.. calculating safety factor, figuring out parachute deployment method, wind tunnel testing, drag coefficient reducing. Haha. Sounds fun doesn't it. It all came to an end on friday when each group had 2 chances to covert the "Highest Altitude" and "Longest Time Aloft" awards. We didn't win the altitude prize for sure, but was in contention for longest time aloft as our parachute was one of the few that deployed like a beauty. So proud of you baby! :)

Brr...

6.8 Degree Celsius on a wet autmn evening and I'm already freezing my toes off. What's going to become of me come winter in January?!??!?

If you stare at this pic long enough, you'll be able to see a giraffe. AMAZING!
