OPENING POEM

Although it is the middle of spring,
i still feel the cold wind's sting,
and yet while we call it spring,
snow fell till lunch bell's ring..


hahaha what a nice little poem...getting a little sentimental here are we ??
a poet is what i am aiming for...gahaha
this is so frustrating...it is spring woi ! a little off timed to be snowing isn't it?
the weather proved to be a little bit more unpredictable,
is it global warming that's messing with the seasons huh ?

i advocate all people to:

stop cutting trees !
stop burning garbage !
stop using damned cholorofluorocarbons !
the world is overdeveloped already...

and yet we still yearn to be advanced and technology does not show any signs of slowing down..
advancing forward is inevitable
but ! honestly i prefer a quiet life in a rural village somewhere off .....nowhere ?

now that is peacefuul..


compared with the hectic city life...haha maybe i'd rather work at a farm..



Tomorrow's earth day.... LIGHTS OFF FROM 8-9pm...

SAVE EARTH >....

The Spaghetti Bridge...
wow.. how time consuming is that ?? well it actually took at least 3 days,
tedious work constructing it too, the teacher...while never doing it himself, handed out this cursed assignment and well, what to do...but do it right ??


ingredients !!
~~

a packet of Spaghetti of course... and the wrong glue !!
MR. glue was apparently too 'strong' for the spaghetti and it actually wore it down..
bad bad choice...oh well, its history

Day 1

Okay okay we got the base done...and some useless supporting stilts still covered in "takes one day to dry !" glue...oops one dropped.

Day 2

Woot Woot...another layer done...with additional support ...all is well eh...
ah...the hair dryer there...hah...to dry the glue wan...but to no avail...it does not work!

Day 3

Ah the feeling of accomplishment, the satisfaction of constructing a......
worthless bridge! look at that ! its crooked...looks cheap...but but but remember, this is three days people !! Three damn days ..

and so came
Testing Day,
you know....while watching other bridges in display, the feeling that our bridge being the most inferior one was certain...hahaha we were the first to go too...imagine the tension.


look at the solid bridges...


Yes yes spot the weakest looking one....i'm you'll sure to find it quickly.



The sturdiest bridge of them all...capable of holding a mind-blowing 25 kilograms..i think~



This one looks cool too...intricate design..i don't even want to guess how long this took them.


some monkey trying to photograph the bridges...hahaa for amusement purposes only..



and Ta da~ Handiwork reduced to smithereens...in the end, it held....2 kilograms...mind you, it is 2 whole kilograms...
hey hey that is not so bad okay ? some other bridge got a mere 1.3 kilograms... doesn't feel too bad now.

take into account the weight of the pathetic bridge...

efficiency ratio = weight supported/weight of bridge
= 19.6 Newtons/3 Newtons
= 653.3%


Haahaha 653 percent efficient !!
but thats most probably wrong...but its an awesome number...
