^.^: S & t week...

This few days was busy over s & t week. Was volunteering in the chemistry booth as the demonstrator. It was really fun.. and tomorrow will be the last day.

During the s & t week, my partner, geok yi and I were participated in the amazing challenge organised by the cs (computer science) students. At first, geok and I thought cs stands for counter strike..lol. The amazing challenge lasted for two days. Two days with different challenges. It was really really fun.. though really really tired, especially my butts feel super pain when I reach home these two days. Coz we had to run around Fos to get all the clues for the next password, for the new challenge.

The first day, there were four challenges. The challenges were more about practical stuffs and all related to biology, maths, physics, chemistry and engineering. For the biology one, we were asked to find the biological names of the bamboos in the bamboo garden, which makes me realised that there were actually a lot of different kinds of bamboos in ubd.. haha..

The maths one, there was one question given which I think I will never forget in life.. ahaha.. The question looks like this..

"_ is 1,000 times of _ _ "

Just need to fill in the blanks with only one type of alphabet.. Only one type of alphabet for the three blanks.

Geok and I at first thought was "x" but it was wrong ! We almost tried all the 26 alphabets and we begun to lost our patience.. haha.. and shy and eve started to set out new rules saying that if we ask more than 10 times, then we need to solve another question. lol..

In the end, after few trials... the answer is....... "m" =.="

"m is 1,000 times of mm "

HAHA.. which is "metre is 1,000 times of milimeter"...

Next, we got enginerring challenge which we were asked to remove a cork which was stucked inside an empty bottle and another one was to treat a balloon as a remote controller. We need to use the balloon to move the empty drinking can to a certain distance.

Then, we had physics challenge which we need to build a tower using spaghetti sticks and also to make a traditional telephone and communicate with each other. The passage given was a love song's lyrics.. HAHA.. sounded funny when we had to read aloud on the walkway..

The last challenge for the first day was the chemistry challenge which we were asked to release the air of a balloon and it had to reach points marked on the floor. We need to get minimum of 30 points altogether in 10 minutes time..

That day, we managed to get third place for the challenge..

The second day, we had six challenges altogether. Was really really tired, but fun. We had programming, numbering, sorting, hidden, internet and you're dumb challenge.

For me, I think the internet challenge was the hardest one. I think I've spent more than 30 minutes there or more just to arrange the number which they told me was about network. For geok, I think was quite easy for her as she just took less than 10 minutes to finish that..

The second hardest one was the programming challenge which we were asked to draw 14 tables and need to rewrite all the steps and sequences 14 times again.. grr..

The hidden challenge, we realised there is an elevator in chemistry department where only dwarves could go in.. also, there are owls beside the green house in biology department..

We had numbering and sorting challenge in a row where both challenges required the knowledge of binary number system, 1010101.. My brain was all 101010 and #$&%* after the challenges and the image of zinger burger floating in my head while I was doing the sorting challenge.. hungry ~

The last one, you're dumb challenge.. We need to answer three questions. We got first question wrong coz our response was bit too slow. So, we were told "we are dumb ! " by a cartoon man in a computer screen.. haha

Finally, after all the challenges, we got second place.. haha.. we thought we might be the third.. The prize: a mouse and a two gb pendrive..
