what a day

finally the warman project is over. the outcome is very discouraging. we got 1.25 points out of 10. the first run was super slow because we mixed up the fresh and drained batteries. our robots can only able to go to the bumps not even crossing it. the second run was a disastrous one. our robot starts turning right instead of going straight at the very beginning of the track. and it fell off the track. we got disqualified for the second run. i personally think that the project is quite impossible for us to do because we are only in second year and we are MECHANICAL student. this project require damn a lot of electronic parts.

for you reading this but don't know what we are doing, this is the track that our robot must go through. first the robot must go through the bumps, then make a turn to the next lane and go through the colourful balls then either doing a u-turn or turn to the previous lane to go through the bumps again to climb up the incline and drop the tennis ball which is carried by the robots since the it starts on the top corner of the incline. to gain full marks , all these must be done within 30 seconds. suck right?
anyway, this is how my robot looks like. i think we go no aesthetic mark on it. LOL

i think this the project which monash purposely include on our assignment just to demoralize us so that we will fail on the subject and retake again next sem. FYI, retaking a subject in monash will cost you another 4k.

so after the run, me kane and stanley decide to play COD4 to kind of lepas geram on it. we barely play any COD the past week 'cause we were working on this stupid-shitty-got-only-a-freaking-1.25-points robot everyday until 8-9pm. so yeah, we played 5 hr in the cc. but too bad there weren't many players on that day. so can't really enjoy it.

after that more stressful thing happened as Man United lost 2-1 to home ground bravery Chelsea which see them erm 81 matches unbeaten in Stamford Bridge? haihzz, not going to talk more about it, it's even more depressing than losing to arsenal. i rather lose to arsenal than losing to avram grant's chelsea. chelsea without mourinho is not worth respecting.

but after that, the monash street carnival get me alive again. 'cause they actually got some cool local bands performing there. Bus Company band, Ben's Bitches and the awesome DRAGON RED. holy cow, they were very very awesome. finally i get to see a band performing SYSTEM OF A DOWN song on public. they were like: "the next song is about toxic, not britney spears one. anyone of you guys like SYSTEM OF A DOWN?!!?!?" the crowd goes :" YEAH!!! TOXICITY!!!!"
wow! i was impressed! toxicity can be listed in my top 20 songs in my playlist weih. everyone was enjoying it. i think they were enjoying performing this song also.

anyway, it has been quite a day for me. from depressing robot test, to even depressing Man Utd lost then to a super high live DRAGON RED performance.

Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal

once again both teams displayed a sensational match which favouring Manchester United this time. we took on arsenal by 2 goals to 1 which see us in the top position of the table with arsenal drifted 9 points. rubbing salt to arsenal wounds, their chance of lifting a silverware this season dented by losing this match to their old rival Manchester United.

arsenal show their beautiful attacking football in the match, but with a little lack of luck, somehow adebayor only scored 1 when he has got 5 chances of passing the ball through van der sar. a controversial one, i didn't really see it but according to soccernet, he is suspicious of scoring the goal using his hand instead of his head. anyway, adebayor really have the killer instinct in front of goal. 26th goals a season is quite a number for the 24-year-old. then Ferdinand almost score an own goal when he gets a little wobbly clearing a cross from adebayor. United drew level just after 6 minutes which jens lehmann guess the correct direction of Ronaldo's penalty kick but failed to prevent it from going in. the penalty came from william gallas who found guilty of touching the ball by his hand in the penalty area. 38th goal in his 41th games. Ronaldo is simply on fire this season. everything is going right for him. Tevez then nearly finds the net only when he sees his effort go narrowly wide before the set piece specialist Owen Hargreaves scores a superb freekick from the edge of the box. that was a world class finishing, no goalkeeper on earth can save that kind of shot. however, even United was in front, arsenal men kept pushing their attack forward, hoping they might get their crucial goal to keep them in the title chase. but the United defensive line done a great job to protect their lead. experienced van der sar kept his cool to deny bendtner header which nearly cost a goal. the match ended following a yellow card to justin hoyte after some entertaining tricks from Ronaldo.

top quality football produced from both teams, but for my opinion arsenal perform slightly not to say worse but they didn't perform as good as they were at home against United. maybe the injuries are concerning them. the manager can only put on gilberto silva and desperately, song. i think thats the reason they fail to capture the 3 points from United. robin van persie didn't hand in a good performance too. eboue was good in this match, a lot of attacking approach made by him.

talking about United players, i will say a new star is shining ---Pique. the 21-year-old provided a solid defensive line along side with Ferdinand. although he might not as experienced as Vidic, but for a 21 years old player which barely play any premier league football he really done a great job. Wes Brown was too shaky in this match, for so many times he played against arsenal still he can't do his part right. disgraceful. we need someone like Gary Neville. Owen Hargreaves gave an eye-catching performance in the game. not only controlling the midfield steadily but gave a lot of chances to put United in front and finally scores the winning goal. Rooney was a little off-form in today's game. should have scored a goal but the goalkeeper keep denying him.

anyway, it's a narrow win over our rival but it's a great step to further increase our chance to lift the premier league trophy again this season. i believe the match United against Chelsea will be a decisive one.
