haha.. two lego comps over.. wro and fll.. wad can i say.. im lyk dis close to gettin sum big awards..

i dun rili wanna explain and review the whole process of the competitions... i;ll briefly say it out tho..

nov5-6 wro.. WORLD event... participants stay in downtown east... den u compete wid ppl all over the world... lyk the RUSSIA team.. lol..

22-23 nov is fll... first lego league... nth much... sum stupid boring ting... din expect much to win... until on that very day itself.. when i arrived... when i toook out my robot... when i placed it on the map with so many trainers... tchers... supporters... and m ost imptly judges watchin my robot do its shit stuffs... man does it feeel great... i got the whole bloody full points...380 sth... and was lyk... woah... dis guy gonna win... judges smiled... sum went.. "wah! he did it all!" and den its lyk.. damn seh la! so.. ok den nvm... but in the end.. u can say i screw up.. u can say i no luck.. or u can say i simply sux... i lost all my points... and got a miserable judges award..

not dat i dowan dat award... but wad is dat compared to the BEST ROBOT PERFORMANCE.. or the OVERALL DIRECTORS AWARD?

in case sum of yall dunno.. i am dis close <----> away from TORQUE of chij tp... hu won the directors award.. tt's the biggest and modt prestigious award ever... i am lyk.. 10 points plus close? and i culd haf beaten them.. freak my luck...

and.. swiss cottage bagged away my robot performance award.. i repeat.. ITS MINE... my precious.. they stole it away frm me.. hahaa golem... anywae... yar.. when i see them doind the demo for the judges.. showin them how they got the highest points in fll.. i was ... sad? knowin that it culd haf been me dere... i did that demo for two yrs now already... and now.. fll i amm deprived from it.. cos i did not get the highest score... they did... 269.. is dat high? no dat isnt.. compared to my 380 sth... haissssssss

sad sad sad.. upset and angry... i prob wun feel dis.. had dis not been my last comp... plus knowing u were dis close from winnin an award... makes ur heart wrench... ive let down my team members... i am not fated to deploy my robot.. i expect the judges were expectin sth out of me too... and thus gave me a judges award to sort of console and commend my efforts...

haisss... wro.. they give top3... i get 4th... fll i get 2nd best overall... they give onli 1st best... wad is diss... y muz purposely lyk tt treat me... i rili want my fll overall directors award second...

oh well. wro over. results? dun tell u. wahaha. wait lar. ok wro. we got open category and the main category. open cat is for anyone below 19 years old. open cat is to do robots dat best resemble an athlete or sport. i din go for dat one. too hard and its a waste of time to join. the main category consists of three events. sumo, sprint and slalom/maze. pri sch get to do maze. sec sch get to do slalom. pri sch srpint easier, sec sch sprint harder wid obstacles lyk havin a ramp right out of nowhere.

for fuhua: 1st team- 1st in slalom
2nd team- 3rd in sprint

for chinese high: 5th in slalom 36 sec

for admiralty: they won sth. i forgot wad. i tink its 2nd sprint

for chungcheng high sch main? : 4th in sprint 40sec and 6th in slalom.

overall in singapore? chungcheng high did the best. waahaha. and as u can see.. i almost got my international award. ALMOST.

Today its 3rd november. World Robotics Olympiad draws nearer. The pressure inside me is increasing greatly. My palms get sweaty just by thinking about it. Can i make a name for myself? Can i conquer WRO? Can i beat fuhua sec, victoria sch, chinese high, singapore chinese girls, admiralty sec and bukit panjang govt high? I want to win badly. But i do not wish the schools which have been working with me these few days to lose as well. The issue is not a win or lose thing. Its how much u learn, experienced and change from it. Will this be a turning point in my life? Will my robotics knowledge be greatly enhanced? Will i change as a person? Will i blank out and lose control of myself? Can i stay calm throughout the competition and adapt to the new surroundings? Will everyone around me change suddenly? Will thier behaviour change? Will they treat me more coldly? What if i screw up? What if y robot do not work? What if i lose terribly and others laugh at me? Will i be a laughing stock? Will i win? Will i be featured in the papers? Will other foreigners talk about me when they return to thier hometown after the competition? Will i leave an impression on others? Will others carve or leave marks on my heart? Will i be interviewed on television? Will i do myschool proud or more importantly make Singapore proud considering this is an international event? You can call this a small scale competition. But the pressure i am feeling now is killing me. Will i continue robotics after this? Will i still touch lego after this? Will god watch over me and bless me with all the luck he can give? This is a crazy account. I am indeed embarrassed to type how i feel here. It feels weird. But considering my case now, what do i have to lose? Who knows i may just look back one day and laugh at this entry. Now that would be great entertainment. Well, i just ask for one thing. Pray for me real hard and wish me luck. I sincerely need it. However if you think that i have been going overly crappy and acting overly silly about this whole affair of taking part in robotics and joining just a minor event, then please wait till i bring you the good news. You better eat your own words and give me a treat. For what? Merely because i have just won the challenge and bet you have made with me. Wait for my award...
