Yesterday I was in a big big dilemma!! haha... why?? cuz there were two events that i wanna attend!! aiz... first one is lunch time concert by the school of music students in the music theatre and the next one is the annual Power Electronis electric toy-car race... btw, ECE is actually Electrical and Computing Engineering (ECE)... hehe... well, i'm sure everyone knows which event i went to la hor?? haha... if u dunno, then reli dunno wat to say la~~ aiz... hehe... well, first of all, the competition consists of 8 groups la... sponsored by Fisher & Paykel (an electric appliances company) and it was carried out in the Engineering Atrium... hehe...
This is called the Velodrome... a 13 m track.... they'll race here... what i heard was each group has three tries and each try is to be raced in 3 laps...
This is the track... the black lines are actually wires emitting high frequency waves... the catch here is to build some kinda electronic device to pick up the frequency and then convert it into current to power the car... in other words, if u run out of the track, u won be able to get any power lo~ haha... and no batteries used to power the cars...
The device pointed by a green arrow was the machine generating the waves... haha.. dunno wat izit called la... hehe...
These are the cars la... hehe.. everyone has the same model.. These are Ford Focus... the one that Colin Mcrae used for his race... Mcrae is a famous rally racer la... haha...
Test drive... hehe... this car seems fast round the corner wor~ but then this is not as fast and heong (wreckless) as Choon Seng la... haha!! refer to this
post for further details...
There were good drivers but this one here is like wanna go long piak (bang wall) one la... haha!!
Some contestants facing some technical problems... yeps~ this one here the problem i think is the connection to the power pick-up and regulator not strong enough... at last the problem was corrected lo~ hehe...
Car fixed... they were lucky nothing serious cropped up wor~ if not, surely vy am dui (disappointed) one lo...
Ok... here's the format of the race... each team (two teams per trial) wil begin on opposite sides... they'll race each other for 3 laps... see who's faster... another way of winning is u get to chase ur opponent and bang on its backside before the 3 laps end... there'll be three races (or trials) all together...
View form the VIP seat... hehe... the car is so fast that it's blurry when i capture its photo... or izit my camera shutter slow?? haha.. who cares~~
This was the winner la!! haha.. they received i think NZD 130 from Fisher & Paykel Appliances and also a trophy~~ nice lei?? hehe...
Since this was an assessment, the top four groups get to race the sponsors' Subaru Impreza to get an additional mark for their assessment... hehe... the blue car's the Subaru... chio (nice) lei??
It was quite a fast car too... haha... even on the straight lane, it made itslf so blur on my super-fast camera!! *yea, right*.... =P Well, basically that's it for today la... haha... nth much fun anw... but then i skipped my lunch juz to watch this lo... and i squat down til my legs aching ar~~ sacrifice.....
Oh and another thing~~ to those who are gonna face their exams soon, I and the University of Auckland wish you all out there good luck and all the best for your coming exams!! no matter if you're in Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Africa or even Papua New Guinea!! hehe... K la... c ya next time ya!! =)

were the cars as fast as the power ranger who chased across the road after a random girl?
walau so yeng ar use radiowaves converter? so engineer.. anyway it must be fun watching the race!! izit true that CHCH is snowing?? CHCH is christchurch?? cool~
wa.. i m quite sure i won go 2 d event like tis...~ no interest in electric at all.. now the electric part in my phy is driving me crazy!!

yea, cch snow!!! super envy!!
to lottkelly: -_-|| ssshhhhh!!!!
to limichi: haha~ yea la... they all fourth year le.. their last yr... so, do de thgs all vy pro, vy engineer one lo... i cant wait for my 2nd yr lei... so excited!! yea, chch is Christchurch~ hehe... tat place so so cold one... i consider myslf vy vy lucky to b able to come to Auckland lo~ haha..
to put: i hate phy6 electric too... so, i not gonna take up electrical and electronics engineering... hehe... and controlling and driving the car wil b more interesting than watching actually... u like snow o? hehe... i think it snowed in Rotorua that time wor...
i discovered the billboard two weeks before~~~ they dun hv to pay for this one, but they re rich to hv those 'flag sea' in city, esp queen street~~~
