A lifetime of disappointment.Aiyo.
So the presentation went something like this.
Took the last paper, Math, till 9.
Pon school, went to the lab till about 1145.
Rushed out all the last minute preparations and props, practiced and practiced and practiced.
The first 4 teams who were supposed to present at 1130 took the first bus there:
Sylvia's team, Jun Kang's team, Zhi Jie's team and my team.
Reached, setup, then it was almost my team's turn alr O:
Sylvia went first, then it was our turn.
We got two female judges.
At first when we went in, it was kind of freaky 'cos they looked super stern.
Then I was damn nervous, so I was like fumbling with the charger for my laptop.
So we presented, and showed them the video.
'Cos we weren't using a powerpoint, we did up this booklet.
It was friggin' thick lah, :X and somemore we're supposed to be saving earth.
Hahah.
So they asked us questions, but they're mostly robo questions.
Like, what are the difficulties you faced when constructing and programming the robot?
The only question they had for all of us was, why did you guys come up with the idea of presenting through this bimbo talkshow?
LOL.
Whatever.
So yeah, finished up.
I thought we did quite well.
Waited for the rest of the teams to finish.
Then while waiting, Sylvia and I went for lunch.
When we came back, I dragged Sylvia to this Chemistry area of the Science Centre.
We passed by the dinosaur exhibition, and I wanted to go see, so I forced her to go in.
Suddenly, she said, "Eh, we're the only ones here leh."
I looked at her, then like sort of widened my eyes, then started running.
And she ran after me.
It was super dumb lah, like running until don't know what.
Somemore before that, we were trying to imitate Spongebob and Patrick.
Then after we found TTW and the rest, I was like asking Sylvia, "Oi, why you just now so scared?!"
Then she started scolding me, 'cos it was me who started running first.
:D
So after everybody finished presenting, we trooped to JEC for a super late lunch at pizzahut.
We went there, then we had 17 people.
So we decided to say together, "Table for 17" to the waitress when she asks us.
But in the end she gave us this super bushuang face.
Hmph, attitude.
Sylvia and I were treated, courtesy of Raffles Ng ;D
He owed us since FLL last year, hahaha.
'Cos we told him, everytime we catch him slacking he'll owe us one pizzahut treat.
We caught him slacking like lotsa times lah, but it's okay, we're nice, so we discounted him.
Supposed to have Lizhen too, but she went home first );
Nevermind, he owes her like $12.50 now. Hah.
After pizzahut we went to take neoprints! Squeezed all 17 of us black society people into one neoprint booth and spammed ;D
Wanted to put JK and M tgt one, but then the guys were behind and girls were stuck in front.
Gah. So ended up separated.
); Awww. Wasted heh.
Went to enlarge the pictures to A4 size.
Then I think the photocopying person photocopied one strand of hair too, so now there's one picture in which I look like I'm pulling my moustache.
Hahahahaha. Damn gay ;D
Then went home.
Was about 630 by the time we left O:
==
Received the results today.
Out of 9 teams, 3 teams got in: Junkang's, Sylvia's and Zhi Jie's.
Jiayou kay! (: Go out there and win something back for us.
If I said I wasn't disappointed, I'd be lying.
I thought we did pretty well, and I was so proud of my team.
As they say, the higher your expectations, the harder you fall.
But it doesn't matter, 'cos I know you guys did your best and I'm really really really proud of you guys.
It's going to be another year before we have another chance, but it's okay.
No matter what happens, Artemis will always be a winner.
Jiayou! (:
