haha i know most of you prob wont be interested but today i actually got the solar engine to work. Only prob is the prev. FLED engine probably didn't work due to the sucky current output of the solar cells I cannibalised form 2 calculators.
Even when I changed to the more efficient Fred solarengine it took the panel 30secs to charge at 5cm from a bright desklamp to pulse the motor once.. *faints* but at least I know it works.
Was gonna source for better solar cells at SimLim today, but missed the closing hrs of the stores cuz one poor girl who was working at the swim meet too got her ENTIRE bag stolen. And she had everything inside.. handphone, wallet, IC, ATM cards, $200 cash. Ouch. Another ACJC swimmer lost his bag at the meet too.. haiz. Take care of your belongings people, the public is not as safe as you think. I remember the day I lost my freaking schoolbag (stolen) at Parkway Foodcourt when I was with a buncha friends. Lost my Gameboy and the cartridge in it too *sob*
And I'm banning myself from further Butter Waffles from cake shops.. been eating one everyday at Toa Payoh.. *ack* 3 more days to go and the meet will be over. Ian will be joining me tmr for the primary school meet =) haha yay company.
Cherish the times when you're part of a whole thoroughly. =)
