Memories

Reminiscences will be a better word. Anyway, I had dinner (Actually, I watched them eat :P) with my ex-Project Sup and ex-Projectmates. We compared about last year group and this year group performances. Alright, I missed out one. I was involved in Singapore Robotic Games (SRG) 2009 and 2010. I participated actively in 2010 as it was my final year project. Yup, NYP achieved not only Gold metal but Silver, Bronze… in fact, NYP ranked 1 to 8 for Legged Robot Marathon Race. Cool, huh (o^^o). I was so nervous at that time. I could not bring myself to the ring. In the third match, I was in the ring, I made a mistake by catching the robot without finishing 6 laps. Boom… I was doomed (>!<), I could not forgive myself for doing so. One of the lecturers outside the ring even asked me to calm down saying "Relax… everything is doing fine. Don't force yourself. And don't worry so much", like that. Why can't I calm myself down??! From that moment onwards, I told my partner that "I would not be in the ring anymore. Please run my robot". I was handling 3 robots. Eventually I have to be in the ring for three times. My first was doomed in this manner, who is going to run my other two robots? Well… my partners herself had robots to run. She can't handle mine. By then, I asked juniors. 3 of them will be handling one robot. And so they agreed with one condition, I had to be in the ring, not handling robot but as accompany. I had no choice, hadn't I? So, I was there. First half of the game was done, I was exhausted. I can't help but resting my head on one of the chairs while sitting on the ground and sleep. Our advisor patting me (she likes to pat other no matter which gender is it). The judges were discussing and calculating for the next round. One of them even told to our advisor that my energy seemed to be drained. (I heard that before I fall asleep,.. of course which lead to our advisor pat me harder =.=''' ) And guess what… All our competitors were eliminated. I was awaked by joyful hooray. I was overjoyed too. I became lively after that again. The rest of the game will be NYP vs NYP. No competitor! But I still have phobia to get into the ring. Two of my robots have 2 places out of 8. Our advisor told me to just treat as we were having practice in our own lab which calmed me down a bit. Hence I run my robots with doki doki feeling. Well, SRG 2010 was over. I was in the list for Gold Metal and Bronze Metal list. Hooray!!! O(≧∇≦)O

Ok, back to the PRESENT. Where was I… erm, yup. We were having dinner and talking about how I was nervous that time. I can laugh out about it now. I'm so embarrassed. We realized that our group is much more unite than this year group. We have very little man power yet we tried our very best, cooperating. I don't much about this year group as I don't visit my old lab that often. I heard all that from my partner (now advisor). She complained pretty much. I hope NYP will score lots of medals this year again.
