Here come to the end



Firstly, i felt inspired after finished the dome, the feeling came itself, it is totally different
with we won prize or trophy....

Although we use many of time and lack of sleep, all of us felt that it`s WORTH !!
these is the first time we built the dome ourself, it impressed me....

The experience we gained....... it`s hard to describe

I love this assignment, it is nice to be at HBP...

My Name In Dome FAQ's

Just after i checked the mail, i realised that my name appeared in the dome FAQ's. I still can remember the fantastic wednesday (3/9/08) when the lecture was asking who wrote the email to him.

Before the class started, i sat between ehong and a man. When the lecturer ask who was the person sent the email to him, the man beside me said softly, " wow, who ask those stupid questions" and my friends behind me
(Ah Moh^^, hun, bing)started to blame, " why so stupid asked the stupid questions"...haha..

Ehong and me just cant stop laughing ........It was a memorable day..^^

For others, i apologize if my questions had bring problem or bad feeling to you. Because at the beginning, i thought the lecturer will reply the email to me only.....who know....

Life is unpredictable..^^
Anyway, good luck everyone....
