Hmm...so we did campers 3. Fab, Kest and I gave a lesson on the lashing techniques and Yang Jian read the storyline in various accents that cracked us up. he should be a stand up comedian or sth...he's really quite pro lah.
So we built the catapult...high and mighty catapult it was. almost 1 storey high i think. The counterbalance was 6 tyres. It was extremely 'tyre-ring' trying to lash the tires and the spars together. The square lashing and sheer lashings were extremely tough and i got rope burn from the experience. However, with 'sheer' strength (hahaha), we put the catapult together.
Round 1: We pull the rope back....*crack* something's cracking...hmm wassit the bamboo? we pull more to find out...*pull*...the rotating spar bends dangerously....*pull more* CRACK!! ok the whole catapult arm breaks apart.
Round 2: though discouraged, we the hopes of a great chicken rice lunch in mind, we set out to redo the whole catapult arm, sheering the separate parts onto a new spar and hoping it worked. Ok...we get everything fixed...we were just abt to lash the firing arm onto the rotating arm when lightning struck...we all rush back and make one big detour to end up back into the safe haven of the admin room
Round 3: i wasn't there...but i heard the catapult fired abt 8m!! hurrah!! we beat the old record by a whole 3 metres...i think we were 1336. It was a great bonding experience for all the sec3s!!let's hope we have more of these during GAC.
Nothing much happened today though...i just went to visit my grandpa who's recovering from a stroke and i managed to get my comp's Norton anti virus updated after paying 59 bucks. Oh yes...i managed to cancel my tuition tomorrow with the excuse that i wanted to rest for one week!! yay...a gd vesak day tomorrow.
Church sermon was gd today...the pastor gave a good sermon in my opinion...and he cracked some jokes....like commenting on his running nose he said that his nose was training for the olympics...ok that was bad.
Ken wei's having a sleepover now i think...but i had tuition tomorrow so i said no...well wad a pity..do hope i could be there next time.
Watching ROTS tomorrow with family...finally...eric watched it twice already...bah.
well i little sth i found on sk...
