project vs exam

Depart from house when the sky is still dark, return home after the sun sets. Well, dats my routine 4 the past few weeks. 4th sem is indeed scary. Im still surviving, dun worry.

Here r some pics from my project. The model of an aircraft flap in the wind tunnel:



Besides this project, we got another construction project. Create a torchlight which operates without battery. Means using chemical energy from our bodies. u all know la, those torchlights which produces light when we shake it or squeeze it. Our task is to cr8 something similar which is not on the market. Not easy.

Having so many projects means we have very less free time compared to previous semesters. Whenever there's a free period, we will use it to do our project, unlike last time when we can use the free time to go drink coffee or go bek home n sleep. But thank God many projects = less exam. But isit a good thing? I dunno...

To u know who u r, having exams can be rily frustrating n tiring. But having lotsa projects has the same effect as well. U do ur exam, I do my project, we both gambateh ba! Im sure we can do it! n sleep more ya... less sleep = bigger eyebags. =)

Start of new sem

Oh yeah, the title says it all. My 4th semester, one of the busiest semester in Mechanical engineering in Esslingen. Many group projects and many 7.30 am lectures. 7.30 am lectures are 4 me the greatest challenge. Imagine going to bed late, have to wake up at 6.30 am, the outside temperature is less than 10 degrees Celsius, my warm n cosy blanket 25 Degrees, the sun still nowhere to be seen, etc etc... I tell u, the temptation to remain in bed n sleep 4 another hour can be irresistible at times!

Oh well, hope I can survive this new semester though. Needs lotsa strength n stamina since classes start from 7.30 to 5-6pm. *yawn*

Just got the topic 4 our group project. Testing of the wings of an aircraft (aerodynamics). The part is circled in red as shown below:

But of cos we are not doing tests on Boeing or Airbus (we r not experts yet), just some small jet that the students in the university have built together with some companies. Anyway, it shud be something interesting. Too bad that we dint managed to get our 1st choice project: testing of carbon dioxide as cooling agent in the large hadron collider in CERN, switzerland. That's the world's largest particle accelerator! Anyway, I shud be satisfied with wat i got. No complains!

Attended the wedding of my flatmate last saturday. Im rily happy to see him getting married. From the moment the bride entered the church, he cant stop shedding tears of joy! I dunno if I would do the same in future. It was so touching. I was his "best man" that day, responsible for leading the bridal march with a candle in my hand to light the remaining candles on the altar. I also sang on the stage at night during the wedding dinner. 月亮代表我的心， since it was also mid-autumn festival dat day.

Dats all 4 today, will try to upload some pics from the wedding asap. Till then, ciao~~
