The preliminaries

Ah! Finally, the preliminaries are over! In the Drama Center, I was soooooo nervous!!! At least it was over!(*^__^*) After our presentation, the judges had no questions to ask, only Ms Kala mentioned we need to check if it is legal to install such a gadget on to cars. I guess our project is PERFECT!!! Our leader Jarel spoke quite well during the presentation and I guess the judges were impressed! But if we got past this round, we still need to prepare for the semi-finals judging, which will be tougher as we need to come out with the prototype.

Oe more day to projects day!

Good day everyone...
This is the time for the final preparations of our projects day. We have already finished everything and are trying to relieve us of stress as we are simply too nervous! Our presentations are ready and we have rehearsed quite a few times to make sure that we are at least okay. So far, we had agreed to let Jarel be the only speaker for the projects day. However, changes are still possible. As we turned down to the final preparations of the prelims, we need to boost up our confidence and ensure that we are at least speaking with impact and confidence instead of a shaky voice.

As the projects competition draws near......

Hi...
Only two days to the competition. My team will be pulling up our socks and trying our best to Complie everything together. This is such a hectic week. Jarel ,the leader, had already been rehearsing and had finished the script already. We are trying to shorten it as it took about five and a half minutes, which exceeded the time limit by half a minute. Chen caijie, our poll manager, is also starting to collect data from his polls and expressing the data in bar charts. Loo Bin hui is also busy arranging meetings with our mentor to discuss on pur project. I am currently trying my best to make our powerpoint slides more lively and attractive. Meanwhile, i also helped Jarel in preparing the script.

Second meeting with mentor and afterwards

Hi.


The 2nd time we met our mentor,we were unable to convey our ideas to our mentor as it was too vague,thus we had to improve on the project.Having already completed our PPT slides,we started on the rehearsal of the project presentation.
We also decided to change the name of our project to "The Side Mirror Assistant".

We are currently touching up on our PPT slides and our speech.We are also trying our best to find any loopholes in the PPT slides and double-checking the citations made.

Meeting with mentor

Helloo...
Its time for us to meet our mentor. We ave got our project proposal form ready and our idea ready to be presented to our mentor. We have come up with the name of : The mirror clearer. Personally, I feel that it is rather clear what it is though it does sound rather uncool. Our mentor thought that too. Hence we have to do a few tasks these few days.
1. Think of a new name. A totally new and improved one, that can explain our gadget rather clearly and yet sound cool at the same time.
2. Start on the powerpoint slide. Get the whole group to sit down and sort it out.
3. See if the idea is available. Check the Internet.

Well, there is still a lot to do to complete our project. In fact, we still have a long way to go. Time to get started. We seriously look forward to the next meeting session with our mentor. Hopefully we would be one step closer to completing the project then.

A Name

Hi,
We thought that our new idea should have a name. Yet, we can think of none suitable. we only thought of the really weird and complicated names like: mirror wiper, prototype ver. 3.44657674( That was the complicated one ) and thus we thought and thought, yet all good names elude us. It was such a pity when we thought we had a rather good idea (Compared with the previous ideas) but it did not have a good name. So, we had a new task: To think of a good name and report the next day.
