Past, Present, Permanent

this is a pic of the track. at 6.30am. look at the number of people already preparing to run -.-



the banner. a bit slanted, i know. i looked weird taking pics with a phone cam, so it was kinda rushed.
SINGAPORE ROBO GRAND PRIX



the crowd at 7.45am. queueing up to test run. if you thought NJRC was bad, this is worse.




oops that's kinda all i have. maybe more later tonight or tomorrow.

ok now for the business. my racer, as always, is GG. the sensorboard's calibrator got knocked off. same with keith's. he will be really sad. all his hard work gone to waste. luckily i still have a spare sensorboard in school. rufus is going back to school and take it. hopefully the gate will be open at 10.30pm. of else he has to go back at 5am tmr morning to take. then tmr will be very rush. he, as usual, will be late... and i come early also no use but to show off my OBIANG racer sensorboard.

walao i just realised my racer was on a huge roll, going faster and faster and more stable at the same time. and this had to happen. it just HAD to happen. i know, i know. i can never win anything. i can never do anything on my own. i have not a single accomplishment in my entire life. nothing to my name.

i guess i have to pull through. or maybe i don't.

this is the yearly crazy competition when we have to stay out till 12 and wake at 5. well, if i get into finals this year it'll be worth it. totally.

cant believe i actually fell asleep in the middle of the waiting area. i must be so tired. tonight will be another late night. i dont think its even worth going home. after all, i have to stay up late to program the dual track for tmr. last night only managed to sleep at 3am. and i had to wake at 5am. no point sleeping right? i guess i better drown myself in coffee today.

it's competition time right? so why am i blogging? well, there's still an hour's more wait for my turn. not to mention that i've been waiting since 10am in the MORNING. and it's 5pm IN THE EVENING. why is my turn so far back? the other teams are like, 7th ad 14th to run. and i'm like a friggin FORTY-FIRST. i wonder how many teams are taking part. probably only 40 -.-

okay i have not eaten lunch OR breakfast. and it's kinda like dinner time already. i'm not hungry yet. no appetite. omg i just realised that i have been here sitting on this bloody red carpet since 6AM in the morning and it's almost 12 fkng hours and i have not had my run yet. this is SO going to be my last year joining.

if i don't at least get into finals i think i'll just be a big loser in front of everyone. ok i AM a loser. but that's besides the point..

and rufus is looking over my shoulder as i type. he's lazy. he should just wait till i post this post b4 reading it. v distracting -.-

ugh i cant think. later

i can't believe i'm actually cam-whoring my racer. but hey, since i've done it, lets do it.







<3 racer






i know this has nothing related to racer but just to show you that maybe, just maybe, singapore's not quite ready for the YOG 2010...

yay racer repaired and running wild. managed to complete one round at funan so i guess this one still has some face left. oh, amazing discovery, there is actually another Mach2 racer in the premier league. i'm not the only one. haha. but i have to say the new Mach3 has infinite advantages over the Mach2. firstly it's lighter, so turnings are speedier. instability can be compensated by having a broad wheel base. and power bought from motors and batteries. you can't do that on a Mach2. it's like a pure STR warrior going to lowDEX, but a DEXed warrior cannot change to pure STR.

done the program for the left lane. it's quite siao, but i hope it works. anyway tmr will be a busy day. i don't even know who's in my team. whoa. big impact. this is madness. ok, it's RoboGP 2008, after all. if it's anything less than madness i wouldn't join.

and to shaun, some people have certain traits that others don't like. if there's something you don't like about someone, remember that you have some traits that this person don't like too. a war would only make things worse.

ok i should stop stating the obvious.

yawn. sleepy.

man that was kinda obvious. it's like 1.30am and it's raining. come on, this is supposed to be the dry season. never does it rain so heavily at this time of year. december's weather came a little too early. OMG don't tell me it's the effect of GLOBAL WARMING. what's next? polar bears migrating to korea? this sucks.

should i maple? should i? should i...?

right, i have to wake at 5 tmr. oops, i don;t think i'm getting enough sleep.

never mind. maple
