5 days to sportsball..redbull

stay at home the whole day to follow up on all sponsors...call and call..talk and talk..check email...and check email..quite a busy day...

Red Bull agreed to sponsor us ...but they have to provide a team to fullerton hotel to "promote" their drinks..my director was not keen on that..cos it may spoil the ambience of the atmosphere of the ball with so many important guests esp Mr Mah Bow Tan..

Call their marketing manager...he is also not too keen on the decision to put the drinks in the goodie bags..frankly speaking if i am the marketing manager..i will also will not agree...talking ppl about the benefits of the product before giving them..definitely will go a long way in marketing rather than puting them in the goodie bags..

Frankly speaking i was impressed with their marketing effort and idea when they came to NUS during last sem during exam to give out red bull drinks..There are 2 Red Bulls girls driving a blue volkwagon with a big red bull logo on the car...I think the Red Bulls girls are real cute...so sporty...hehe...The marketing manager for Red Bull definitely have learn his marketing lesson well..impressive..


went to supermarket to buy a tub of ice cream..have been craving them..buy a magnolia chocolate chip at 4.20..and buy a loaf of bread...that gonna be my supper..

i think i need to exercise..so damn busy..cant exercise..actually giving myself too much excuses...went to exercise in the evening..can notice the difference in my fitness...hiaz...since last training...damn weak liao..think i better be consistent..

6 days to sportsball

now at 220am..writing my blog...thinking of what have happened today...not bad quite a rewarding day..

have 2nd mno1001 tutorial today...damn fun..we have to make a stable structure using just straw and tape to support a egg drop from 8 feet..wah sound like physics..s=ut+1/2at^2...hehe..cannot make it..
my structure is call the cup and egg....
My team ,we made a structure like a bouquet of straws..we tapped the thing to the floor before going for the test..one of us suppose to drop an egg from 8 feet..if the egg lands without cracking,it's a gd landing...each team given only 1 attempt..Xiang lai volunteered to drop the egg..that when we realise something wrong with our struture ..the opening is too small..the thrower will have a hard time aligning the egg ..so that when the egg drop it will fall right into the structure..

in fact our egg went out of the structure..and hit onto the floor..cracked...cannot make it..we have made some minor "zeroing"with 2 guys giving xianglai direction...

haiz..we request for another attempt..the 2nd time the egg went in..and did not crack..during this tutorial we learned why working in a team is impt..esp during the brainstorming and planning process...

after this tutorial went staight to level3 lab..have to rush my report..suppose to viva my 1st level3 report...do it double quick time..print it out..and wait for my turn..happen to know some guys are doing 3rd expt..god..i haven start my 2nd..

Tecksoon and huike is also going for viva with the same prof..prof KURTSIEFER Christian(Pic attached).mine turn came...wah he viva me for at least half an hour..actually i dun know what he is trying to explain..totally lost..too difficult for me....wah..cannot make it..just have to act i understand...phew...
