This week has been very hectic. Firstly, homework. Well, actually it wasn't that much, but still it is a hassle to do them and guess what? Some of them I had not done. Moreover, due to accumulation since last year's, I will have to work very hard tomorrow to complete this week's homework and last year's homework.

Secondly, I and some other guys teamed up to join 2 different competitions organised by Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Build-A-Bridge and Electrifying Connections. This is our first year participating in the former, and as such we had problems in understanding the requirements needed to comply with for the competition. However, today we managed to come up with the design of the bridge and made a prototype of the design. All these would be the work of Kejia, one of the guys. He spend the whole of last night to come up with the design, calculations and even researching with his seniors. So we have done the prototype and proceeded to try out the withstand strength of the bridge. To our amazement, the bridge is able to pull at least 5 kg force by the power of hand. However, the structure of the bridge toppled, though it did not break but looks dangerously disfigured. Thankfully it was only the first prototype, so there is nothing to worry. We still have 5 more days to redo the prototype and to time run ourselves to build the bridge in 40 minutes. Also we have to reinforce the structures further to make sure that every joint in the bridge are well connected.

Where as for the electrifying connections, we have participated in the competition before last year and this year we are trying our luck once again to reach for the highest level of the competition and win, hopefully.

Furthermore, next week is the third week of school and that means more studying, so i will be expecting more homework piling up. So hope that you can cope your busy life.
