太阳能,能不能

       记得那时听到有SOLAR CAR比赛,而且是peringkat negeri的分数,毫不犹豫地就拉了班上的同学一起去报名比赛。从没想过,我就这样把麻烦惹上身了。

这是个班级比赛。班上都没有人会做solar car, 而且我和R又同班,方便之下就决定扛起这个责任,还有几个死党和我一样,他们的班上没有人会做/要做这个solar car。 眼看比赛日期不远了,考完小考的那一天,我们一起从霹雳回到北海找我们的父母一起帮忙做solar car。事情就这样开始了。一开始有先上网查一点资料并浏览了youtube, 看起来,如果材料俱全的话要完成solar car应该不难。由于这个比赛是peringkat negeri的分数,所以我的爸妈都很注重这个比赛,还拉了几个死党的父母一起研究做这个solar car。所以我们的工作团队,就分成了大人组:我们的爸爸妈妈们,和小孩子组:也就是我们。

真正开始要做起这个solar car的时候,才发现做这个东西,一点都不容易。首先,要有solar cell, DC motor, gear, axis, chasis等等的材料。
每个solar cell有自己的volt和ampere, 如果要启动motor的话,要有一定足够的volt和ampere才行,所以要看你的solar cell的排法,怎么排series还是parallel circuit, 要怎么算,总之要做到最maximum的volt和ampere来启动motor。为了这个东西,我们绞汁脑尽算了一整天,试了一整天,我才开始意识到这个solar car带给我的麻烦。

解决了solar cell的排法,轮到了DC motor。由于不能用太重的motor,最后我们决定用了一个小型的motor,不过问题是那个小型的motor的axis太小,找不到洞口那么小的gear。但无论如何,我们还是解决了motor。接下来是gear的问题,也就是最麻烦最头痛的问题。为了找适合的gear, 大人们上刀山下火海,拆了几个玩具车的gear,买了几个汽车模型DIY,还特地跑到了megamall的一间玩具店订购gear。算到来,我们至少花了整400-500块。*4辆车的总花费。

Solar Cell, Motor, Gear 俱全了,又发现gear和motor有一些问题需要解决。试着解决了,以为可以了,又有新的问题冒出来。一波未平,一波又起。试验了那么多次,我们又失败了。一切似乎要回到原点,重新来过。这样的失败又重新来过的过程,我们不知经历多少次了。

我不是个意志力很强的人,有时我很容易被失败给打倒,从一开始做这个solar car这次不知是第几次的失败了,所以有很多想法涌上心头,我开始觉得对这个solar car有点绝望了。

    一开始只不过是单纯的想拿分数而参加,没想到会把事情搞得那么大。这一切原来都没那么简单。我开始想,他妈的我干嘛要为了那分数去参加这个比赛,弄到大家很累,为我们奔波操劳。花了那么多钱,我自己都不知道到底我能不能赢了这个比赛,如果输了,不是白费我的力气?!我不知道在心里骂了多少次他妈的,他妈的教育,我去年那么辛苦读书考到了SPM 9A+ 1A, 拿到了bursary,也不知道有什么鬼用,SPM考了等于没有考。我最后还是要在这里,和其他人一起抢分数,就算拿到了课外活动100分,考到4Flat,也不能保障我能进到我要的大学读我要的科系。他妈的如果教育制度公平,我可以以我的SPM成绩,拿到奖学金,去个好的college稳稳地读好我的书,再考个好成绩进我要的大学,我根本不需要为了那个一丁点的分数参加这个比赛,麻烦了自己也麻烦了别人。

我觉得很对不起我的爸妈,我知道一直以来我要做什么他们都很支持我,在做这个solar car的过程中,不管多远的地方,他们都去帮我们买适合的材料,一间一间去帮我们看价钱找材料;不管有多忙,总是会抽空和其他大人一起讨论怎么解决这个问题解决那个问题;不管有多辛苦,他们都在帮我们。爸妈为了这个solar car有时有不同的想法而差点吵架,搞到大家都不开心,我和我爸妈最近的话题都一直在围绕着solar car,没有别的东西谈了。我爸还为了向他的补习学生借他们的solar car来做参考,以免费补习2个月来做交换。我其实有点后悔把要做solar car的事情告诉他们,如果他们不知道的话,或许他们不必那么辛苦,我们小孩子如果做不出solar car大不了就弃权罢了。但是不说都说了,事情到了这个地步,我唯一能报答他们的是好好的做下去,赢不赢不重要,最重要的是我没有放弃。

从一开始由于一次又一次的失败而泄气的我,现在开始深刻地体会到什么叫重要的不是结果,而是过程。我看到我的爸妈和R的爸爸为了我们的solar car而奔波忙碌,真的很感谢他们。没有他们的支持我们根本做不到这些。大人出力,我们小孩子就出脑*haha 负责计算和研究solar cell该怎么排怎么弄,从什么都不会到现在,我真的学到了很多东西。每当我们一起在bengkel一起讨论,一起研究,一起失败,一起检讨,说真的我很感动。


    这是个比赛,其实我和我的死党们是竞争对手,但事到如今,我不管谁赢谁输,最重要的是我们一起把我们投资的努力做出成果来。如果我真要自己赢得话,我根本不会叫他们一起回来北海做,大家有难同当,有福同享,越在这种时刻,我们越要互相帮忙。或许有些人会觉得我们很笨,一直盲目地做试验结果屡试屡败,不过我告诉你,我们笨是笨,但是我们有很多聪明的人没有的东西。我体会到了团结的力量,共同进退的精神,有什么意见大家一起提供,有什么想法大家一起分享,有什么问题大家一起解决,这些体验都是别人没有的,我们就是笨,才能从错误中慢慢学习,体会过程,结果怎样都不重要。我经历过,虽然曾经泄气过,但是我感恩,我看到了大家的付出和努力。谢谢。我爱你们。

SNSD Time Machine Piano Cover



This video was taken  last year. Hehe, VERY short hair I was at that time. I dont have the piano sheets coz I played it by ear. *I also didnt write down the chords, notes, etc. too. Aish. So, erhem, I cnt play it now, as I have already forgotten how I played. Maybe one day when I'm bored I will try to find the chords again. =)  There are more piano covers comin up! *wink. Btw, I'm going to learn ukulele. So maybe there will be ukulele covers too in the future.

Growing Up In Travelling - Part I



Coming from an ordinary family, not rich, I'm glad that my parents had brought the whole family travelling a lot every year. My friends know that I've been to many countries, so maybe some of them will have a thinking that I'm rich.Actually it isnt true, my parents are just work as a teacher, and my grandparents, are not rich too. So this is the proof that I have no wealthy family background.

If you ask then why I can travel to different countries every year? All I can say is, it's because my parents are willing to spend their money for a happy family vacation and they hope to travel around the world someday.
My parents are always have no doubt to spend their money when it comes to their kids, that's my sis, my bro and I la. =) So now my travelling stories begin! And you can see that I'm growing up through these travels. 

1) Thailand.  I had started to travel abroad since I was 7 years old? I didnt remember the exact age. But I remembered that the first country that I travelled to was Thailand. =)
At the time, we didnt own a digital camera yet. Instead we used a film camera. Ahha, old times... So there's no photo for it. Haih. Sad.

2) Taiwan. 2003. It was my second travel, I was 8 years old. It was also the first time I boarded on a plane ( go overseas la ). * I went to Langkawi by aeroplane when I was 2 or 3 years old. Some sort like that. So now here are some photos. =)



At the airport. 
That's all for Taiwan. =)



3) Beijing. 2004. Here comes China ! What I like about China is, the things they sell there are soooo cheap, but yet, most of them are with low quality. I think my parents had so much fun converting the money from RMB into RM haha. I was not interested in shopping at that time. lol. Anyway, China is indeed a beautiful place. A place where Chinese people were born. 我们是龙的传人. =)


故宫。高墙深宫的紫禁城。



The Greatest Wall of China. That's the symbol of China.



Coming up more:
Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, South Africa, Jerman, France, England, Holland, Indonesia, etc.......

Bonjour

你好。先来个自我介绍。女的,今年芳龄18。
我喜欢听音乐,弹钢琴,看电视剧或综艺节目。就和别的女孩没什么不同。
为什么会开始要写博客呢?原因有二。
其一,在家太闷了。问我为什么不去打工,因为我爸妈是老师。早上都去学校教书去了,没有人能载我。所以就在家打杂了。
后来想想,每天在家做家务,要不就泡剧,感觉很颓丧啊。-.-
其二,其实我曾有几个博客,但都没有好好经营,只是开来玩玩而已。最近读了几个博客,觉得挺有意思的。
想想来好像很有趣,所以就决定写写吧,反正没事做。呵呵。

很多人现在都是用英文写博客的了,可是我,好吧尽量看看。咳咳,可是我应该大多会用华语写。
因为我英文不是很厉害,不要在这里献丑,而且我觉得用华语写,会比较贴切我想要表达的东西。=)
我会在这里分享一些关于我对一些事情的看法、我怎么看这个世界、我的生活、还有一些我想和大家分享的东西。就写到这里了。谢谢。


Hello. Let me introduce myself. I'm a girl, 18 years old.
I like listening to music, playing the piano, watching some dramas or tv programmes. there's nothin different from other girls.
Why i want to start this blog? There are two reasons for that.
Firstly, I'm too bored staying in the house. Why i didnt go for a part time job? It's because, my parents are teachers, and they go to school every morning. I have no transport. So, I just do some house chores at home. I dont want to waste my holidays with those dramas and houseworks, so meaningless. -.-
Secondly, I had a few blogs before, but I didnt manage them well, they were just for fun. Recently I've read some blogs, and I think they are interesting. So I decided to write a blog too, I have nothing to do anyway. Hehe.

I saw many people writing their blogs using English, but okay, I'll try. Erhem, but I think I'll use Mandarin most of the time.
It's because my English is not that excellent, moreover, I think I can express my thinking better with Mandarin. =)
I'll share about my thinking, my life, etc. in this blog. Okay I think I'll just end up at here. Thank You.









Toast to my new blog! LOL.
