Bridge Designing !!

For our Mechanical Science subject, we've been given an assignment to build a minature bridge using only Balsa Wood and Wood Glue ! yeap, no hammering and no nails ! This assignment was given to us about 2 months in advance. As usual, we Malaysian will only start at the last minute.

We are required to build a balsa wood bridge along with a report about the force calculations and so on so forth... Oh yea... "Individually" ! The bridge must be more than 30g and less than 40g and is required to carry a maximum load of 100N (10kg) to aquire the full 10marks !

Sounds impossible I said to myself ! With just glue ?!!!! Are you kidding me?? And balsa wood? Those wood are like ice cream sticks ! 10 kg?? !!! My dog, Kimmy is 3kg and my rabbit, Datin is 5 kg ! That's only 8kg ! Maybe my big fat tortise, Ninja is around 2kg... Wow... the 40g balsa bridge must carry 10kg ! That is equal to my dog, rabbit and tortise... Or a bag of rice !
after the bridge testing, I started to reminish about Addidas's Moto, Nothing is Impossible.... I build my bridge with LOtsa help from my friends and family... Ahem... Being the only girl in class can be very helpful. AHemMM.......

While waiting for the bridge testing (or shall i say, the torture chamber), we manage to fool around....

My "baby" bridge !!

Yee Chaw's A-Truss

Master Chee Leong's
Weights only 40g and the 30kg load has no effect on the bridge !!!!
If the lecturer wasnt worried that the load would break the floor, I guess it could supports more than 50kg !!! I think can enter Ripley's Believe A Not !!!

Kenneth and YC when out for POOL-ing !!! So we decided to "Karate" their bridges ! NO, we did not purposely place Ken's bridge upside down.. It is manufactured that way... hahahahaha !!! no pun intended....

Gary's "Rainbow" Bridge



This either Gopi's or Hock Peng's... Hock Peng's bridge manage to withstand more than 15kg ! and you know how it broke? After the testing, he was so happy like a little boy in the candy store. He went and use his two fingers to touch the joint and it broke... =,=""""""

The bridge tower !!

Half of the class bridges.

In all shapes and sizes....

Another reason I decided to blog about this is because I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all my friends and family that have helped me ALOT !!!!!

YC - Thank You For helping me with the blueprints, calculations , the two X's and one side of the bridge.

CL - Thank You for helping me with the outer part of the bridge and driving all of us to Gardens to get the balsa wood.

KJ - Thank You for not freezing the rat living inside in the air-cond even the weather was so damn hot.

HP - Thank You for coming to lunch with us... Please remember to open your eyes when playing scissor, paper, stone...

Mom - Thank You for staying up late with me to help me hold the bridge while i'm glue-ing it.

Dad- Thank you for your funds in sponsoring $$ for the materials

and most of all.. thank you Kimmy for eating all the extra wood dropped on the floor.. Grandma didn't notice that I dirtied the floor the next morning... Pheww.....

Formula One Review by Miyoko !

Yes, it's that time again to critize and admire the wonderful sports of Formula One ! brought to you by Miyoko Formula-actic.

First, I would want to acknowledge Mr Ross Brawn !!! Yes, he is the guy who brought over Honda, put food in the pocket for a few hundrend of Honda's Formula One Team employee's, and saved Jenson Button and Rubben Barrichello's butt into a winning car !
Yes, he was the same guy that helped Michael Schumacher to win seven world Championships... ! Yes, he was the same guy would appear on the podium if Ferrari won first place.. yes, he is the race engineer or is it called technician?
That was ages ago... Ages !!
But now he's back ! Not in red filled with words and logos....
He's back with a clean white shirt !!
And he still doesn't smile.... yeah.. maybe he did that i didnt catch...

If you watched the Malaysian GP last Sunday, it looked like a battle between Ross Brawn from Brawn GP and Michael Schumacher from Ferrari ! But silly o' Michael was no matched for Brawn. Schumi got Kimi into the wet tyres when it has not started raining yet?! Therefore, Brawn 1, Ferrari 0. Or shall I say, Brawn 18 points ! Ferrari ZEROoo....

The Formula One M'sia Grand Prix !

These few days was hectic with my assignments and tests. Yeah.... Now I wish to go back to government high school because you can crap and add all the rubbish you want in your essay. Now in college, you have to do research on your own and use the Harvard Referencing way.. =,= Great... If not, the word PLAGIARISM will be plasted on my face !

Now now.. lets focus on something more interesting like my favourite sports, FORMULA ONE !

Yes, Kimi has returned from the ashes, both quick nick and cube kubica is also back ! Not to mentioned that Hamilton has came back with the HAM. (i'm trying to make a stupid joke here).

Last Friday, my mom and dad has brought me to see the free practice at Sepang ! I love you mom and dad !! I was surprised there was not alot of people since its free... FOC..!

Brawn's Pit Stop

toro rosso's Pit Stop

...........and Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe's Massa Pit Stop !! I noticed Kimi's personal trainer aka Botak ! walking here and there... ! XD

Here are some Formula One Picture that we took with our camera...

I think thats a Ferrari................

That could be a Brawn.................

Likely to be BMW.....................

P/S : Moral of the story, recreational camera are useless in taking formula one pictures !

Kimi is Finally BACK !!!

It's time for FORMULA ONE !!! *AHHH* I smell reunion in the air..... It's depressing to see that F1 is barely surviving with the recent global economic meltdown..... Plenty of sponsors has pulled out... Especially, Big-Shots like ING........ But with times like this, there's also our friend Shell, is happily promoting Ferrari... *i gotta get those employee's t-shirt ! *


Iceman Kimi in the Artic Lapland Rally (2009) !!

Chinese New Year 2009 !

Ang Pao, Tang Lung, Blossoms, Lin Gao, Herbal Egg, Hamper, Yee Shan, !! It's Chinese New Year......!!!

The funny thing is that for the past 10 years, my family never received any hampers... But this year, even with bad economy, we receive not one but THREE hampers !!

This hamper is from Yeepoh's Daughther. The most "RED" and stylish hamper !

From My God-Brothers and God-Sister. It's very cute...!

From my Dad's friend... Fuyoh Eu Yang Sang !! Those Chicken Essenses and Bird Nest are ALL mine !!! MUHAHAHAHAH !!!!

My Recycled Christmas Tree !

I got my inspiration from Martha Steward's show. I made this out of old newspapers and a wooden chopsticks.... Very environmental friendly and cheap too.... =D...

Entertainment Weekly Rob Pattinson !

Wakakakaka !!!! All of my friends are saying that I'm being "disloyal" to Kimi Raikkonen.. But I'm sure I'll snap out of Robert Pattinson craze as soon as Formula One returns !!! Anyways, thanks to my aunty (whom also is crazy about the Twilight Book Series, *ahem* slighty thanks to me) bought this magazine for Meeee !!! OKAY. OKAY. I ADMIT HE"S NoT SOOOO GOOD LOOKING IN REALITY WITHOUT ALL THE MAKE-UPS !!
